lrathsr Il matter oI Commerce than of
IfAgrlculture. II consists, mainly III the
production at uue article. The pro-
.dncrIon ot that article depends uu the
0.Cvpensr incurred for soil aud labor, ot
lhat sort appropriate To its cnltIynlion /;
and this IL all capital. Whenever one
would enter upon tropical culture he
invests his capital "a the soil and, n
we all we'll kLow, Il portion of II also IN
labor 1t becomes, therefore, rather
iot the nature of commercial under
taking, than the PLAIN and homely, bat
healthy aud beneiicPnt field cultivation
The consequence 10 such as II philo-
sophie inquiry would lend US to expect.
One is uncertain, precalious, changea-
bic, pnrtgking of the vicissilndps Of
trade and commercial enterprise. The
other is home interest, always SUBJ
s'aniially the samc--linblc, il is true,
to those vicissifudas which attach them
selves TO all human concerns, but So
curing 10 him vino enters upon the cul-
I tivalion Of his owp lands, by The labor
Of his own hands, a competency, and
promising to guard hm against the nc-
cidemS Of life as far as is possible for
tho most fortunate tumnp beings.
The contrast is evident when we ex
alniue carefully the condition of him
who trusts To tropical cultivat ion snps
pose OF coffee He raises one thing for
sale, and one only. and buys of others
every thing else. Ie has one co,p-
Uodity TO carry To the market Of snle,
aud twenty To seek in the marker Of
purchase. What is the consequence
of this state ofthings TO his finances,
TO his means Of living, Of security and
icomto,t> We SEQ at once thar, as he
produces but one article, and that art
Gle. u commodity subjec, to the huc
tuUing price Of the commercial
world, n depression in its price nt-
feels him through The ,chole er.ent Of
his annual income. If, for example,
tho price Of that article falls 10 per
cent. he loses 20 per cent. Of his eypcc-
tations /: the loss goes through the
whole product. Fit rises he is enrich
ed. II it falls lie is Impoverished -
