be seen that III spite of the appeals and
follies OF men, time will bring all things
around as they should be-. The disclo.
sures made since the repeal the British
Corn Laws, have demonstrated the faEacy
fthe reasoning s'that this country should
feed no body else but itself" This is the
doctrine of the restorationist, who vainly
attempts to make US believe that by the
restoration of the Tariff of 40 and the
adoption of high duties, we alone can be
beneitaed. But let the agriculturists Of
the country test the correctness of this
policy, by a fair trial--and it will be e.
nough. The protectionists are aware Of
this-hence their cry Of. repeal and
"restoration. . It is well known that the
agricultural interests of the country, hav-
ing once. had the privilege of trying lie
great advantages TO be derived by right
system of duties, they viii not easily be
persuaded to surrender them. Later ad.
vices from Europe, still indicate that
large demand for breadstuffs is required in
that eountry-and the failure of potatoes
in Great Britain and other European
countries. warrant US in saying that il
will be a permanent demand. a'
1t is well known that Clay, Webster,
Davis, Clayton, and all the leading states
men ofthe Wing party, assumed the pc.
| sition. that the repeal of the Corn Laws
would be no advantage to the farmers of
this country, for several reasons. The
principal one ofwhich was that American
flour, wheat, &C., could not compete with
that grown in Northern Europe, in the
British markets. And that the agricul-
turalis,s could not be benefited in the
slightest degree, by the repeal of these
laws, because the demand for their pro-
ductioEs would be SO very Insignificant.
But to show the fallacy of such reason.
ing, and the doctrine of protection-and
the sanitary effects of the repeal Of the
British Corn Laws, and adoption of the
Tariff of 46,we will briefly refer to some
statistical disclosures which have been re.
Gently made. We find that the demand
E is even greater than we anticipated. I'm
mense quantities of Indian Corn, wheat,
flour and meal have been exported +; and
the "North of Europe" nor the .'Black
Sea" cannot, as has been shown, iniure

] statistics referred to, which presents a
great change in our favor. The amount
of flour exported from the single port OF

on the first day of January, 1916, was
