challenge the gentcman to the SCRUTINY
Take down all the articles in a store, one af-
ter another-estinate the value Of the raw
material, the bread and meat, and other agri-
cultural products which have entered into
their fabrication, and it will be found that one
halfand more oftheir value consists of the
productions ofthe soil-agricutura produce
in lis strictest sense ~.
Nov, BY reference to Mr. Walkers report
it will be seen that, for twelve years back we
have imported from Great Britain and her
dependencies annually 50 ] 3 millions ofdol-
lars worth of goods, but call il so millions,
while Size took ofall our agricultural produces
save cotton and tobacco less than two and
half millions ofdolars worth. Thus, them
assuming one halfof the value of her goods

her agricultural produce TO 2 I-2 millions of
ours faken by her. which is lust ten TO one;
TO avoid cavil, put it at eight 10, one. To
test the truth ofhis position, he was prepared
