IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.

The writer oflhe pamphlet has thought
proper to quote Mr. Adams TO prove
that in a series Of years the imports and
exporrs between this country and Great
Britain have already balanced; this he
introduces ss 30 argument 10 show that
il IS not Decessary project and lOsIer an
American market for American produce.
Tina, proposition including bnlIion and
specie, may b. admitted ior The sake or
the argument. without prejudice 10 our
POSITIONS The imports and exports, OF
trade, between two countries may bal"
sncs each year, and yet lhe one lmpoV.
erish the other in. the operation. The
yearly account current is generally bal
anced between The msser and servant,
while the one rides 10 his coach, and
the other is covered with rags; so with
the lsndl ord end tenant, the farmer and
his lab orer. the manufacturer and his
operators; still the one may be enriched
and the other impoverished by the terms
and mode OF fodjnstiug and balancing the
account A farmer buys British goods

the time OF payment arrives, The tarm"r

Dor Of the larmer ls exhausted, the mer-
chant has made profit on his goods
the imports from The sIore, and exports
from the farm have precisely balanced;
still the farmer is impoverished. About
62i per cent Of all The exports OF this
country 10 England is the article Of cot

while the return imports consist Of man.
uiaclured goods al from 500 10 1000 per
cent advance o(lhe cost Of the raw ma
terials. This advance is the price OF
British produce, British labor, and tha
interest OF British capital; we have thus
bought Brush whesl al 81 so per bush
ell, and British corn at Sl,00 in tho
shape OF manufactured goods, while Wa
have sold our wheat at 70 cents, and
our corn al 10 cents per bushel; or IN
other words, they have bought our
W he at at 25 cents, and sold it back 10 us
iD goods a, S so per bushel, TO keep
up The balance OF trade" But for the
last four years together the balance OF
trade has been $4,000 900 against US in
favor Of England. (See Mr.. EIlsworIh's

countries. As we'll might farmer de.
clare in favor Of free grazing for cattle,
and open his gates and take away his
fences from his pasture fields, while all
his neighbors secured and prolecled
their pastures by good fences; we need
not tell our farmers how they would
come out with such a project in the end.
The principle is the same -tnat Of self
protection; and go long as all the civil.
wed nations Of the earth keep up their
restrictions and duties, just so long we
must meet Them on the same platform,

we might quote al the distinguished
Statesmen Of the nation who have taken
part in our polllcsI affairs; we desFpglt,
however unnecessary to do so. There
is one distinguished American who has
not been heretofore prominently before
the people, whose opinions are entitled
to much weight; ii is therefore with
pleasure that we give an extract from Q

GENERAL SCOTT
Recently. 10 a committee, the Gener-
al says. From a Familiarity with the
principal writer's on political economy
was early much smillen with the doc
trlnes Of free trade, but between the
years 1924 and 1898, being stimulated
by the discussion Of the period 10 recon
slider first impressions, SOON became
thoroughly persuaded that that theory
Of wealth, however beautiful would i'm.
pOverish this country 10 its trade with
the many, whose rival products are SHE
ded by duties generally high, and il
many cases prohbitory; until. therefore
| tho nj har oreat commercial naiions can
be forced to practice upon. as we'll as tc
propagate in speeches and writings
these liber raj doctrines, ! should be 10 Ia
vor Of couOlervaliug and relaliatory do

the views OF Gen Scott will appear los
manifest from the examination OF thC
following extract from The
BRITISH TARIFF.

ing TO impose it upon the public, as q

since 1911. THIS volume, however,
omils his speeches on the Bank aud
Tauff Of 1916! Why this omission, re-
ouires no guessing, as the following ex.
tracts from his Tariff speech, sufficiently
indicate the reason-il it would not do 10

American views Of our true policy, a
uong the Locofoco party, lest their eyes
tight be opened and LocolocOIsm be at

Calhoun said
THAT he was no manufacturer, that

That 10 afford manufacturers ample
protection would enable the farmer to
sell his products high, and buy all his
wants and conveniences Of life cheap"
THAT a Tariff for protection was Of
vital importance to the security and per-
manens prosperity Of the Union"
That it would produce an interest
strictly american, as much as agricul-
tufe. and lar more so Than commerce
and navigation"
THAT ii would produce nesO and

definition Of free trade A British lord

suited hun better; it was, freedom OF
barter and sale OF British goods in

Prirate Begging-.-An Irish mendicant once presented himself at the door Of one of the parish manses in the presbytery of Had dington, and inquired, with all air of mys- tery, if the minister were at home. The servant said he was, and added, that if he had any message for him, he would carry it up. "No,o said the man, < l want to see the minister himself'' Mir. was accord ingly called, and on making his appearance, he demanded of Pat the nature of his busi- ness. ''Och!' says he, glancing look to- wards the servant, < want word in sacret wid yersef, blaze yer riv'rence." He was accordingly conducted into the minister's study, where, after the door had been care- fully shut, he proceeded to unfold his errand in low whisper. He said, that as he was approaching the village, he observed a notice on the toll-bar, prohibiting public begging within the bounds of the parish, and that he was himself beggar; .S but, piaze yer anor." said he, ..I don't want to be afther breakin' the parish regulations; so 'ye made bowld to spakc a word to ye in private wid ye, hopn' that yer riv'rence will be plazed tn help poor Irshmann This was said with such an air of affected secrecy and irresisti- blc drollery, that the clergyman, putting his hand into his pocket, rewarded Pats inven- tive vii with the gift of half crown.

ht si1Ho to NItCH we FetcTfeu Ill OpeHfHg this discussion will best answer the query. Ertracis from Me Leiiers of Mr. Weed, at BeIfast.
 Beggars in Teland--I intended to say word In another place, about the Irish poor house system. Each county has it's spacious and expensive poor house, for the erection and support of which the property of Ireland is heavily taxed. But I am told that the sys- tenn does not work well. The poor, unless driven 10 the direst extremity, will not go to the poor houses. Women evince the strong est aversion to places which offer them shel- ter and food, mainly it is said because they are deprived of the chances of occasionally tasting tea and tobacco. There is another objection which some speak of with horror. They are not only scrubbed clean when they go there, but arc required to perform daily ablutons in cold water! ss is bad enough" said one of them, " to be compelled to drink their ugly cold water, bad luck to them, without having the life frozen out of you with washing in it every morning.
 The coach, at several of the first changes out of Dublin, was beset by an unusual num- Der of very importunate beggar women, whose claims were urged, sometimes in the most piteous accents, and at others with an adroitness and humor quite amusing. At Drogheda, the beggars beseiged us in way which, though embarrassing to a young lady, was quite amusing to the other passengers- In handing this lady into the coach, alter din- ner, woman approached us, saying, < Y our honor will sure give something 10 poor starving widow, for the sake of the sweet lady that owns you" To get rid of this mode of attack, gave her apcnny. This encouraged another, who exclaimed, "your honor's happy man, with such beautiful lady by your side. Don't forget poor creature with eight starving childcrs." She got her penny, and departed only to give place to a third, who began, long life to your honor and your honor's beautiful lady. May you find the sweet little ones quite well when you get homen
 This one gave place to another, who com mcnccd, "God bless your honor, and long life to your honor's jewel of lady. It was a lucky day she made choice of your honor, who is so good to the poor widows" This, to use q cant phrase, was s.eoming it too strong" and the lady exclaimed, |" go away, you jade ] am not married at all" But nothing daunted, the bag continued, ss we'll, if not married already, it's soon you will be, for you're too good and sweet a lady to let his honor be breaking his heart for you.n- My small coin was exhausted, and rather than stand such fire the lady gave the '.jadeo a penny herself, when we were spared farther annoyance by the guards s all rightp to the coachman, the crack of whose whip dashed the hopes of half score of other ss widows" who were gathering for the onset

selves to be one. We'll, then, let the same
 relations be instituted among the nations of
 tue eaftii,--let them be placed upon an equal
 iootlng,--the ports of the world open to the
 world, the world offered to the enjoyment of
 the world,-and there would be the same
 prosperity and peace.
 To this end, finally, we think, ali things are tending Freedom, goodwill, universal ity, arc the goals of the modern movement.
 We see it in science, in literature, in social eilort,-why should ii not be in politics and commercci Human action, in all the depar.- ments of intellectual and physical labor, is working itself loose from restraints. 4 fierce onset Is making against exclusiveness, priyi- lege, and monopoly Glasses are sinking, but the multitude are rising Literature has come out of the cloister, and is making it's appeal to the crowd. Science has left the Sorbonue; she no longer walks with the sa- vans alone; she Is making her way into tho cottage; she takes the artisan by the hend; she waits her treasures on the winds. Reli- zion filings aside the cowl and surplce, and takes up her residence with the poor and de- spised; she is leaving the gilded and vault ed church, to raise her anthems and breathe her prayers under the free canopy of heaven. How then, we ask, how can Commerce re- sist this mighty onward rush of tendencies The signs to which we referred in opening this discussion will best answer the query.
