POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE

MORNING JOURNAL&

The Morning Chronicle of this day, reverting to the
question of the Corn-laws, says :—" The Corn-laws, by
their operation on expenditure, are a tax on the State as
well as on individuals. They cost the nation more than the
Monarchy. And for what end ? To exhibit " a bold
peasantry, our country's pride" competing for work at 9s.
a week, and manufacturing thousands out of employ alto-
gether. An able and dispassionate observer across the
Atlantic, of European policy, says that the whole system
of British policy is to preserve old markets free from
competition, and to open new ones; the agricultural cha-
racter of Great Britain is now of second-rate import.'
But let it be of first-rate import, the policy remains the
same."—The Morning Advertiser, commenting on the
question of international copyright, remarks as fol-
lows :—" It is the home market which is rapidly
closed against the author by foreign piracy. Not only
owing to the increased facility of communication
with the Continent does almost every Englishman
who visits the Continent purchase copies of the cheap
foreign editions, which do not benefit the author, but
wholesale importations of those pirated copies are regu-
larly shipped for this country, and supply half the provin-
cial circulating' libraries."—The Morning Poet, in a lead-
ing article on the subject of the Church revenue, ob.
serves :—" The Morning Chronicle of yesterday has the
ignorance to refer to the income of the Church in England
as between six and seven millions' a-year. Upon this
point there exists the most minute official information.
The income of the Church of England is, in round numbers,
three millions a-year, or about 6t. a-year for each indi-
Muial pf wllopt the National Church has the eharge,"_,The
