Similar causes will produce similar results here in due

that policy should be cherished which threatens to fas

system of Europe. The overgrown fortunes which we
hear Of throughout the manufacturing districts Of Eng

human suffering; and surely. the swanns of lazaroni
there with the crowded work houses and pauper esab
shments visible the length and breadth of the land,
furnish anything but pleasing illustration of the boosted
beauties OF their manufacturing policy.
Another strong objection TO the extension and en-
couragement of the so-caled American SYSTEM" is to
be found in the comparative eudal relation which the
operatives bear to their employers; like master ike
man, holds good in this instance, as il does in many
other cases, and the employers vote the employed
