convince the protected interests that the prices Of
the several commodities upon which he proposed
reduction Of duty, would not be affected by that
reduction. So far from il, he cited number Of
instances, IN which reduction of the duty here.
tofore had been followed by an augmentation Of
price; and indeed the result seems to have been
as uniform in Great Britain as in the United
States. So that, although the absurdi,y of the as
sumption is so apparent to our opponents in this
country, as to be deemed worthy only of ridicule
and n sheer, we find it gravely asserted and sue
cessfully established by their distinguished ally,
the British Premier, in order to reconcile to his
new policy the protected interests Of that country
and to remove their uniounded apprehension that
a runous reduction of prices will follow the mo-
difcaton or repeal of the duty by which they have
been heretofore protected.
