in motion. We cannot doubt that England is To-
day the gamer By the establishment; here of the new
branches Of industry which she would gladly have
prevented or crushed.
Now and then we meet an individual who. main
y account Of the excuses and abuses OF Factory
Labor, would gladly see oil! Manufactures rooted
out OF the Country. We deem these exceptions
however The more general sentiment, ever among
our opponents we presume regards Manufactures
with complacency if not with favor, objecung oh'S

and sustaining them. II deems them wen eo0asH

alone logic, il was well enough for Europe
N welcome The cheaper Home fabric when It atiast
spoeared. bat to have made any concerted or sys-
,ema,ic effort 10 anticipate or hasten that result
would have been a gross departure from the die
| tates of sound policy. We cannot so consider It.
Great Britain now appeals to us from new and
more ,enabe position. She offers 10 take some por-
Mea, also, provided we will discard the Protection
Of our own Manufactures and buy OF her We can
not believe the best interests OF her own people,
much less Of ours will be promoted by our compi-
ance Grant that she can at present fabricaie many
if no, most articles cheaper than we can, we see
clearly that the cost Of transportation and the risks
and profits of Commerce will far more than balance
any such disparity and that the immense cost OF
sending our Wheat and Cotton 10 England TO sup
ply her workInen with food and raw material where
from our fabrics are TO be wrought must come out
of the Labor OF one country Of both. With the
Farmer and Manufacturer working side by side the
fruits Of their joint labor must be divided between
them, and any temporary advantage in prices real
lied by will be pretty certainly followed by an
increase of force and efficiency on that side tending
to lower the price Of its product and enhance thar OF
the other Bat with thousands OF miles OF land and
water between the two classes, there must be an
enormous subtraction from their joint product 10
pay the cost of transportation and the burhen OF the
expense falls inevitably on tie party whose pro-
ducts are bulky, pershable, and their carriage ne
cessarily expensive. Suppose 1t possible, Tor In

One Dollar and Quarter per bushel In Liverpool
duty unpaid the farmer in the Interior OF Indiana
Illinois or wisconsin cannot hope 10 receive over
Fifty Cents bushel That ia the best he can look
for with the bulk Of our Manufactures in England.
Bu, bring the Manufactures 10 his neighborhood, 30
that he shall find within days journey market Of
consumption for his products and he cannot fail 10
receive more, and al any rate the difference between
the price he receives and that which the manuiac-
turing consumer pays orii will be vastly diminished
But better STILL he will no longer produce merely
Wheat and iremble lest the next advices from Llv
erpool or New.York blast his hopes Of fair recon-
pense for his labor but he will produce variety OF
fruits and vegetables always more profitable than
exclusive grain crops when market for them is at
hand Familiar as this truth may be, it cannot be
TOO carefully considered.
That the change in the Corn Laws will enable the
Manufacturers OF Great Britain 10 produce goods
somewhat cheaper is true, and to this consideration
boun,eous subscriptions the agitation fund OF
the League are in good part attributable. Cotton
is now the predominant intercs, in the British realm
perhaps benefcenly So The lords OF the loom
will doubtless reap an ample harvest from their tr
umph Be ii SO; we regret change which di-
minishes the power of the Aris.ocratic monoposts
anticipate the lasting advantages from this which lis
sansuine friends anticipate. Perilous, as Carlisle
observes is that National prosperity which rests on
capacity 10 produce cotton cloth tarthlnS an ell
cheaper than any body else can. The brief hour OF
triumph past. the Toiling Millions OF Britain will
! find their days labor producing just about such
days bread as formerly, and Union Workhouses az
numerous and we'll tensnted az ever The real
remedy for their evils is Free Trade but Free

who won a County by aiding TO slaughter the

10 each family at rent based on the cost of the i'm
provements thereon, would be worth all the Free
Trade or Reformed Parliaments that can be i'm
