uiorm policy Of British manufacturers Ia well

,,,e,ort tle Introduction among ourselves Of any
new branch ofudusiry. The appearance in our mar
ket Of their products be-. invariably been followed by
reduction Of British prices and instances are not rare
in which Thousands and tens Of thousands Of pounds
have been sacrificed for the purpose Of gripping their
"ri,als end the result has almost invariably been the
destruction Of the latter aud the retsrsblsLment othe
British monopoly Let our readers clst their eles
around them and they ell find that the pioneers OF al
most every branch of manufacture The most active ami
useful men in the community. haI very generally
been ruined and that ii hes not been tail amer repeated
efforts that any branch has become established
II was 10y the process thus describedby this Committee
that the rapidly growing manufactures OF Ireland were
prOsracd and that the long established on's OF India
were unnlilatcd, and yet, in defiance Of all experience
we have among numerous advocates of the
s,stcm Of amalaauaiion now denounced b. British
free trade House Of Commons
Tie Conn iitce assure the House that some security

distance over which merchandise must travel for the
greater The distance the larger h, charges and the
greater his profits Ills, however is precisely what
il the object Of the whole British ~ stem to accom-
psh Tie people Of ireland were advised that it was
for their nteres, to have all the iron manufactures ot
tie United Kingdom amolgamo',d in Vale, and stat
fordshrc and the cloth manufactures amaigam0ed in
Lancashire and Shropshire, and that they should eN-
change their potatoes for spades ploughs and clothing
tv "A more circutous route than that they had pre-
yiously used and what has been the result Has 1t
not been constant recurrence of fmines and pesti-
lences followed BY abandonment of the land The
recple of Portugal, Turkey and India have been
advised that the more circuitous route was the
most pr, talc one and what is their condition l. it
NOT poverty among the people and weakness and deg
radaton Of the communities Of which they are part
TIE people Of Missouri and Illinois are recommended
not 10 convert their corn directly into lead iron but
to prefer the more circuitous route through Corn
wall and Wsles and thus to force their surplus food
upon The general market OF the world TO the injury OF
farmers elsewhere. The people Of Caronl aud
Georgia arc recommended not 10 convert their rice ana
tleir cotton into cloth hut prefer the more crcu-
itous roue through Manchester although the with
dravsl Of single huSlrcd thousand bales of cotton
h,m thar market would be followed by 81 advance Of
ten per cent in the price Of the whole crop amounting
tomany millions OF dollar. They are advised that
them interests are 70 be promoted by GaigaaaEg all
