FFFECT OF FREE TRADE ON IRELAND. —Our own
British possessions get their supplies cheaper from the
United States than they can from Great Britain or our
North American colonies. They expend the property of
their own colonies, and of ours too, which they get there,
in fosterink the trade of our rivals, to the destruction and
exclusion of their own. What has been the effect of free
frna. T •• . _ _

zu t yrur CYILI or 1645. there were
of acres cultivated in wheat in Ireland 1,059,620; but in
1847, the blessed year that followed the consummation of
free trade, the number was reduced to 743.871, and in
1848 it was still further reduced to 565,746, thus showing
a decrease in three years of the Palmy days of free tract
of no less than 500,000 acres of wheat, equal to the
'' ` 2,10 n fin^

action o, „au quarters, and in value, at what ought
to he the price of wheat, upwards of £60,000,000 sterling.
This shows with a vengeance that capital is flowing from
the hanks of the Shannon, and is going to the shores of
the Vistula. What will you, farmers, your wives and
your daughters, say to this? In the year 1833 the export
of salt butter from Ireland was 25,000 tons, in value
£3,000,000 sterling, and it would take 260,000 cows to
produce that quantity of butter. Now, let the free tra-
ders tell us what has been the export of salt butter from
Ireland during the last year. Ireland has broken un her

oht pastures, and has sown wheat upon them, and yet
with all that forced and ruinous cultivation, the foreigner
beats her out.and-out.—Mr. Booker's Speech.
