their due level, whist the consequent failures deter
from pursuit till the- employment the formerly
deer-loaded branch affords, approaChes to the pro-
portion of those it is capable of maintaining in that
sphere adapted to the occupation. Extraordinary
success in any trade whatever never lasts long, corn-
petition soon reducing its gains to a reasonable re-
compense for the trouble, skill, and risk• with which
it is carried on. Why those concerned in agricul-
tural pursuits should imagine that their gains ought
net be liable to fluctuation, and that their recom-
pense should at ail times, and under all circumstaorem,
be insured to them at compound increase, we profess
barselres at a loss to know, and look upon all the
sophistry and theoretic assumptions employed to
prove the necessity of an interfence on the• part of
the Legislature to keep prices and affairs in this un-
ilateral state, as an attempt to hoodwink us, and
as so much labour lost.
