III Great Britain, as provided by their agriculture
al statistics, and that the entire value oi the pro-
ducts employing British navigation III the world
over, was rot equal to the grass grown in Great
Britain. su h is the importance Of agriculture
10 every nation.
Over this vast American interest the Tariff of
'sl1 has thrown It's shield, first in direct pr rrcc.
ton gwen to It's products. For cotton, wuul,
hemp, beef and polk, hams and bacon, cheese,
butter, lard, potatoes, flour and wheat, d,r,n
"rt'ri,s, we llud an average protection of A5 per
cent, which is higher than the average prutcc-
tlon gwen TO manufactures. But, secondly,
protection Of manufactures Is IA protection of az
riculhra capital and open such a market for
agricultural products as has been shown IN an
other place. The importance of protection 10
agriculture will further appear from the fact,
tina, the annual average tf imports of the above
na'ncd agricultural products, for the fire yra,S
proceeding lNl2, were ~1,3ll 600, and that the
potatoes imported into Boston in onc year ano,,ii-
ted TO sll 900. 1t will be seen by statement
page I, that oar imports OF agricultural products
ior the ahuNc-namcd five years, wcro greater
than our agricultural exports, other than cotton,

BENEFIT OF THE TARIFF TO LABOR.
1t has been estimated by political economists,
that the industry of a country is equal TO one
~ercnM or one righh of It's entire wealth. II
might he said, that all the essential wealth Of a
nation consists Ill ITS capacity for labor, as nc
nation could subaist without it. American labor,
