The Yazoo Democrat. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1844-12-03

can raise cora as cheap as Ohio, but by q
different process. England can produce
corn in the workshop as cheap as America
can on the prairie; and il there was a per
feet free trade, as there should be, and as
there always would have been but for the
English corn laws, she would no more suf-
fer for food than we do. The difficulty IL
not that the English as q people are poor
no, far from it--but i is not rightly distrib-
lied All lhe difficulty Is 10 distribution
aud not 10 production.
The country may be said % groan under
ils load Of wealth, and half Of the nation
are starvingl What a sOlecism! Capital is
Idvished with degree Of extravagance un-
paraIleIed in any part Of the world, on all
useful or useless undertakings; on Rail-
roads, Thames Tunnels, &C., and yet mill
lions upon millions Of IaborerS suffer for
want Of comfortable habitatiouS as we'll as
daily bread!
A greater deIusion never existed than
that there is any natural necessity for ali
the misery and privation endured in En-
gland. There is no such thing and noEh-
Ing like il. This seems 70 us AgsericunS
something almosA i"o1PnceO'e' we can
G.E9ly- c6hceiVe by what legeFdenain OF
legislation and government in church and
state, ell this would be effectually brought
a6out, yet il is done; and if we would pa.
tiently study British institutions, and thread
the labyrinth Of fraud and injustice which
class legiolation has framed for that unhaP-
by country-ifwe would trace the bearings
Of its almost innumerablO monOpOIies, and
discover The true and ultimate bearing Of
them oil, we should see, that il Is to these,
to her inStautiOHs. and not to her limited
territory, that England should trace oil her
lniOeries. The question Of which we speak
10 not an innocent one. II isA great prac'
teal evil, inasmuch as it PaFalyzeS all eff.
fort TO remove the true cause; it is forever
putting men upon the wrong track. II 10
the trick Of the aEistocracy 10 keep the PeO-
pie from looking to the true source Of their
rnisfortunes. But, thank God, numbers
begin to look at the matter Alright. The
spirit Of inquiry and reform 10 aroused and
will never sleep. The antiScoFIl law and
other kisdred m0V6medts are opening the
eyes Of the people 10 their true condition,
and making them acquainted with their re-
al Cppfessors. The mask is being stripped
off, and the monster will be at last exposed
10 the fall gaze and deIestation Of the peO-
pie of England and the world, and it will
then be found that there is noae too dense
a population 10 England 10 get plenty Of
bread, even we're the present population
dO0bIed.
And this is q matter in which Americans
ATE not unnteresled. Not only as Philan.t
Ihropists, who are bound TO regard the world
as their country, and all mankind as their
brethren, but as citizens Ofthis republic we
are deeply concerned in the great question
whether Man has right 10 the fruits Of
his own toll; whether he shall enjoy the
privilege Of selling his products ia the
dearest markets and buy his commodities
10 the cheapest market be can find. The
.ame false principles are ProPagated in
Ibis country, and but two generally receiv-
ID, which have brought England to her
present staleof misery and starvation. We
10 not intend to moot the great question Of
freedom, but. say this much,
hat those who read may reflect on this
deeply Interesting subject, and argue the
point 10 their own breasts. 10 New En-
Hand, at least, we generally maintain that
10 man or body Ofmen have righttO rob
human being Of all the fruits Of his toll,
md may it not be q fair question whether
government has any right to rob him Of a.
b. part Of bis own earning, udder AnyPFe-
