capital. The most attractive forces will
be Ibe. popdrous and ~pefishable materi'

capital is required. Some statesmen in

purpose, have advised the thousands of

made by pauper labor, and by the use OF
redundant fbreign capital. To show the
absurdiry Of such exchanges, we have
from time to time gathered and printed
the precise items of cost attending ihal
exchange, and have shown that there is
generally more labor and capital expend-
ed, and more losses incurred, in our ex
ira transportation of the materials and
their products than would be required in
their conversion or combinations at home
