the editor proposes-that is, along with III,
improvements that are taking place in prac,i-
cal farming, to spread his own conviction, that
farming will always be most prosperous,

and the lap stone, and the saw and the trow-

chanlcal and manufacturing industry are all
prosperously at work, as near as possible to
the Plough and the Harrow Ia other words
MIR. Skinner undertakes to demonstrate To the
cultlyators Of the soil that the best and safest
policy for them, wthon, any regard to mere
party ends and aims, is the one which gives
to American labour moderate but steady and
conservative protection, with specific duties
against tie ovcr-woikej, half fed labour, en-
poyed by the manufacturers Of Eneanl and
other countries. lie undertakes TO show ,b,,
the more distant The loom and The anvil from
the plough and the harrow, the greater the
expense OF transportation anl tho greater ,hel
cost OF exchange and therefore, iha, Tor theI
American Agrlculturist, the best and mos,

Iolcc to learn that this doctrine is becoming
more and more acceptable, especially in the
