transient victory cannot ultimately and permanently
be sustained by the American people: A.,
The British cornaws and our saiin OF ss! were den
teal in principle, although applicable to diherent I'm
ports In England the effort was BY the ccrnaws, to
build home market Tor agricultural products at the
expense Of manufactures Here the effect was, by pro-
tective duties in favor OF manuacures to impair the
market abroad tor our sunpl agricultural products In
England, was called the protection oil agriculture;
blow was aimed A manufacturer here, the injury was
inflicted ON agriculture commerce and navigation To
build up adequate home market here for vast and
rapidly augmenting agricultural products, by taxes

market for Britain manufactures by the corn laws Ma
nuscurss are the great British exports and egrcuitu-
raj products the chief Americsn exports; and any re-
strcton upon he exchanges Of either in the foreign
market, to which exports must always look for q
purchaser, must be disastrous in its effects. The
ruinou consciousness Ok the protective system having
been proved in England ~ her own most enlightened
statesmen and demonstrated by experience has been
surrendered there by most OF those who sustained

and distinguished advocate and now when 1t has failed
