TOWNSEND HAINEs-
The total quantity imported in the first
half of lS49-50, may be stated in round
numbers at 100000 tuns. and the whole
wear gave about 100000. The import IN
the first half of the current fiscal year.
ls5O-5l, above given. is but about 10000.
That of the second half, into New ork,
has been l07 ZOO tuns. and if to this we
add 10000 tuns for the rest of the Union.
we shall have total OF 100000 tuns. 1t
is thus seen that in the last year, in which
there has been a rery great decrease of
home production, there has also been
great decrease Of Importation, although our
English friends have been willing to re-
ceive certificates of debt to almost any
amount, and sometimes of doubtful charac
ter in exchange for their iron.
Taking the domestic product at 100000
tuns. and adding thereto the export of 320,-
900 tuns. we obtain total of 10000 tuns
to set against a consumption In 1867 of
$50 900 tuns and thus we establish dlm
mutton OF the power to purchase to the en-
tent of almost twenty per cent, although
this population has grown more than ten per
cent
We beg our readers now to remark that
in the estimation of the writer upon whose
letter we are here commenting. the true test
of the prosperity Of people IS 10 be topnd

lation From lsil-2 to lSi6-7, the power

OO2 tunS, having almost trebled. 1t is now
less than 100000 tuns, Notwithstanding the
great increase of population Adopting the
standard established by The Union, we now
request our readers to determine for them
selves if the prosperity OF the people grows
now as it grew then, and whether, on the
contrary it is not evident that 1t is now d.
minishing-the porer 10 purchase BENG m

and iron we used, and were gradually pay

iron on credit, and are daily increasing our
debts Let them examine these facts, and
then determine for themselves whether or
not we are right in saying that efficient pro
lection is the only road to perfect freedom
