THE REPEAL OF THE NAv1eA-
TION LAWS. ~

The repeal of the celebrated navigation
laws of Great Britain, we think, cannot
fail to exert most favorable influence
upon the commercial and agriculturalin-
terests of the United States. Our trade
in agricultural products, now compare
lively large, is destined to be begreatlyaug-
mented by this recent measure of the
British Parliament. Such consequences
are anticipated by many of the leading
British presses. The Liverpool Times,
an opponent Of the repeal of the nayiga-
ton laws, has the following remarks mp
on this subject. 1t says:
In1s40 was imported into Liverpool.
mind, liverpool only--1O, ,oootierces beef
--valac c60,000. In the same year we
imported in Liverpool 23,so0 barrels of
Pork-value 100000. This gives an
importation into Liverpool, from Ireland,
nthc year mentioned, of produce to the
amount of 414O,00O. ~ y sa a1
Look at the differenc,,. In lS4s there
was scarcely any beef imported from Ire
land. In 1848 there were only 3.7OO
barrels of pork imported from Ireland in
to Liverpool--value about Gl2, $50. In
to London the value of these articles in
1910 was four or five times as much as
the value imported into Liverpool. That
is, in 1910, nearly G7OO,O0 of beef and
pork f
All this is gone. The United States
sendus what ruined Ireland cannot send.
America is our shambles- she sends us
manufactured flour-she is our orchard
she will be our potatoe garden; and She
will continue to be so as long as we have
q anationai debt, and nearly 93O,oo0,0oo
to pay annually to the national creditor.
Atthe time We have alluded to, Ameri-
ca sent no provisions to this country. Ire
land being ruined by the Peel policy and
Wing misrule, we draw certain supplies
from the United States. What We sub
join is nothing to what we shall hereafter
disclose but We proceed by exhibiting
samples: f,,. y
