Free Trade.

1t now begins to be apparent that British
free trade in corn, is likely to prove ruin
Gus to the interests Of that country; Just as
American free trade in manufactures will
prove pernicious to our own country
There is every reason to believe that self
preservation viii compel the British Gov
eminent to restore the corn laws for the
protection of their national industry; so
also the immense importations of foreign
manufactures into the United States, which
we have not the means to pay for, will again
call into existence high, rigorous tariff, or
we shall be eDguIphed in bankruptcy. As
it regards the free trade experience of Great
| Britain, a letter from London by the Acadia
states that recent return of the quantity of
breadstuffs imported into Great Britain du-
/ ring the sixteen months following the repeal
of the corn laws, shows that from June
4 %, 1916, TO November 5, 1871, there were
/ entered for home consumption 1854 ,2S2
quarters of all sorts Of grain and meal
I This is at the rate OF twelve millions OF
4 quarters per annum. The officers of the
4 Board of Trade state that, after careful
estimate, the actual expenses, including in
surance, damages, and charges of all kinds,
is the enormous amount of fS3, i52,775.-
The average annual amount paid TO foreign
ers under this head has been about five mill
ions sterling, but during the past year il has
been twenty-six millions, and the Times
asks, g How is it possible there should not
be great distress in all branches of com
merce, a decline in the consumption of less
necessary commodities, and an ultimate loss
to the revenue, when so much had to be
paid in addition TO the average outgoings."
