If disguised.
The arpumen. referred 10 IS that England he's
ALWAYS pursued protective policy, and that II
the u. States adopt similar policy, the Same
degree OF suffering and poverty vii be produced
IN this country, as 10 already to DC observed IN
Great Britain.
Certainly there mus, be very settled deter.
mnaIion to pervert the truth and 20 oppose q. ali
hazards the interests OF this country, when such
an argument can be gravely adduced, withou
any reference being had u the other material anc
yellkpown iscts which distinguish The history
and policy OF this country and England, winch
show in the latter country settled p:en o. ben
efiung the favored classes, and which show II
this that there are no favored classes, but TIA

piness and the acqusenent OF property, unrs

caused by aris;ocratlc legislation.

Such are some of the indisputablc facts whlci
belong to and form part of English history; the;
sufficiently account ior the great social differ
ences which exist in England, 10 the satisfaction
Of any one wao IS willing to Judge fairly aoou
known facts. So far is the Protective system Of
England from producing the misery felt by hes
pauper population, IL is THAI very system which
more than any thing else, preserves them from
absolute starvation, Every one knows that any
Cause operating 10 the detrlmont OF the manu
factories OF En- Gland Is immediately productiy,
of increased suffering among the operatives.
But, vel, known these iac!s are, certain Is
it is that the past and present condition OF the
poorer classes of England is entirely attributable
to the influence of her 'pccGllar Institutions

condiuon US an argument why we should ncl
pursue system absolutely essential to our COM
pete independence. In favor Of SO setevident d
proposition, as that we would be benefited by
doing our own work and paying ourselves for IL.
we say nothing. We have written the above ioF
the purpose OF noticing the unfair argument used
by The opponents of American interests, when
they attribute the pauperism of England TO the
influence OF the Protective system, aud take no
notice Of the real causes which have produced
the present condition of English society.
Every other argument against the system |
which protects and benefits ourselves, is equally |
fallaciuus and to honest inquiry, PLAIN facts will
furnish ready refutation.
