Here we have list of eleven articles Of agricultural
products raised principally IN the South and Wcst, and

higher than is enjoyed by ihe manuE,c ,irc nrtic~.
know il is gad thai these articles need no prtcciion.---
But this is great mistake These articles have iwcn
imported into the country IN asornrc En the Last fve
years 10 the amount of t2.il 600 annually The fact
IS, they nccd protection much many Of the manu-
featured fairies.
Sir. there is an identity of interest between the manu-
hcturor and the aericulturas Agriculture and manu-

and whatever tends 10 give prosperity To tho will
give prosperity to the other. They both need the lister
ING care Of the Government The case Of woul and
socns Is an example Of this. The wool growing in
