the public prosperity. This has produced in
creased ability to buy all articles of consumption,
whcncesoeyer obtained Hence, foreign trade has
not declined, of which we have the incontestible
evidence just stated, whilst domestic resources
in manufacturing labor, have been unfolding them
selves. As the latter more amply brought out,
it is confidently anticipated that the former will be-
come wider and more enriching in is range. II the
new fields of labor have only yet, been opened
in particular divisions OF the country, other dvi-
sions will reap full measure of benefit. If there
can be dissent to the maxim as between indepen-
dent nations, that the prosperity of one promotes
that of another, il cannot be doubted that different
parts of the same nation will derive reciprocal
;, prosperity from the same cause. The United States
are distinguished, in this respect, by lot as pecu-
ar as it is favorable. Nothing exceed the in
ducemens to various and subdlvidcd traffic, that
abound within their own limits. 1t is here that the
economist may hope to see exemplifed, every es-
sental advantage of the foreign and home trade,
bendd in the same system, moulded by the same
policy and freed from the jealousies that have frus-
trated and must ever continue to Illustrate, the ben
! evoleI, but impraccable theories of commercial
intercourse as between distinct nations. 1t is not
f merely that the extent of climate and soil in the I'm
ion are adapted to all pursuits that give activ-
ty and fathfuness to industry under every form.
These are but natural advantages. 1t is the ex-
change of the products of industry upon terms the
most desirable and the most ganful, throughout so
ample an extent of home dominion, that will exalt
such natural advantages to the utmost. 1t Is here
a that commerce may be carried on, freed from every
