British Corn Laws.

. Nointelliccnt man can read the history Of the Brit
ish Corn Laws, through all their changes, during many
centuries, without forming tie conclusion that the IN
direct system Of TAXATION for the support Of govern
ment, or for the purposes of what Is called protection
to a nations industry, is one of the greatest curses
that ever retarded a nations prosperity. To tax the
necessaries Of life to protect the labor that produces
those neceSsarles, iss0 contrary to every rule Of COM
mon sense, SO gross. and at tie same time so strange,
a fallacy, that a nation that adopts such a system, if it
really supposeS that labor will be benefited, cannot,
with p~ropriety, claim to possess any correct notions of
the laws that operate IN rendering labor productive, or
tue least knowledge of the principles Of the noble
science of Political Economy. Yet, though the sys-
tenn be the extreme Of a~bsurdity, the advantages and
benefits it confers upon the few non-producers of
wealth, has caused it's adoption to a greater or less
extent in the principal commercial countries OF the
world. That enlightened and free America should
eveE have adopted this system OF taxation, and assign
ed as a reason for lis adoption, that it renders labor
more productive, that though our form of government
is Republican, yet, that some of the fonies, abSurdities,
and errors c. the various mOnarchies of the old world
have been transplanted IN the new. There was a time
when England taxed her people to pay a bounty to the
exporter Of bread stuis to some foreign country.
They had too much corn, so they raised a tax from
the labor of the country to enable them to pay a boun-
~ to the land.holder, If he would take his corn out of
the country and sell it. Then the very opposite policy
prevailed-they taxed the labor of tie country to pay
a bounty to those who would import corn from abroad
into England. First, they had too much corn, SO they
paid the owner to send it abroad fhen they had too
little, and they paid a bounty to those who had money
to send abroad and bring corn into the country. Then
both Of these systems were abandoned, and a duty i'm
posed upon foreign corn when imported into England.
This last absurdity still exists and the English ope-
ratives and laborers are by 1t annually p~lundered OF
millions of their hard earnings, to support the govern
ment and 10 swell the incomes of the landed aristoc-
racy of that country.
