"'rhe policy of the protective system is happi-
ly and amply illustrated in the growth and pros
perity Of the United States. The union teens
with proofs of its wisdom. All that Hamon's
mastery report predicted of its benefits has been
nnfoded aud is progressive beyond the most sun
gune anticipation. All the objections reiuted in
his argumcnthave disappeared in experience. The

and domestic exchanges, and have mainly conlri-

they are the stablest pledges of independence and
permanent peace, and the most accessible objects
of taxation and productive resources in case of
need. 1t was said that high duties would demon

many for the benefit of the few: but the many,
with the power in their hands TO change it, are its
