Upon the influence Of our present com
meuial legislation upon the condition and
prosperity OF the country, Mr. CoRwiS speaks
succinclly. but with great point. The fluc.
tuatons in the iron trade, the destruction
Of our own iron masters by foreign compo-
tition and the consequent risc in price, fur
nish an argument which oueh, 10 open The
eyes of the country to the uinors folly OF
British free trade. The true relations Of
the foreign and home trade are also exposed
with mastery effect. II Is shown. for in.
stance, that the former is but triilIng com
pared with the latter; that the State OF
Massachusetts, alone produces in mamfac-
turos greater value annually than all Of
our agricultural products sent 10 foreign
countries. Probably, too the same small
State consumes more Of the products Of thu
Western and Middle States than are senl
abroad. The annual production of III,
country. agricultural, mineral, and manu-
featured, is $4,000, GOO, 900, while the add
tional labor employed in transporting ant
exchanging that part Of il consumed AT HON,
largely increases its original value and OF
the other hand, the entire expert to foreign
countries is nearly l40,000,000. And ye,
the foreign trade is regarded AS the NOR,
important Of the two. In the famine yenl
of 1Si7, the export Of brcads,uffs was sc
large II was difficult TO find shipping for II
and yet we then sent abroad but three PEI
cent. Of the maize and ten per cent. of tn,
wheat produced in the country. And a
present we do not send half that amount
How insignificant, then, is the forcigniradc
compared with that carried on among our
selves! From all these considerations, NJ
| CoRwIN renews the declaration Of his pref
erence for tariff with fixed and reliable
rather than with sliding rates of duty.
During the year ending June 80, 1852, W,
imported of foreign mer-
chamliZe, $780,, 100, "a
And exported Of domestic
merchandise, I54,g3O,4l
And of foreign, 1907 ,0i;
Making in all, $I66,967 40
AT the same time was exported ofspeci
over and above the import Of the same
ST, l70,59I. This makes our total expoi
about three millions less than the imports
for which amount we have gone in debt, q
course. But as we have had to pay n yer
heavy interest on debts previously contract
cd abroad, it is evident that this differenc
between exports and imports is far frol
representing the real amount this year &C
ded to our foreign liabilities.
The export of tobacco has increase
! about three quarters of million; of rio,
. one quarter Of breadstuffs and provision
four millions. The export of domestic me-
chandise has fallen off nearly twenty -for
millions and a half, and of specie has
creased thirteen millions and quarter.
D The Mint at Philadelphia has coined du
, ing the year ssh 100000 of gold, Ssi7
300 of silver, and S5l ,620,9i Of copper
The British Minis have coined about 81

. A new issue Of silver coin reduced
value TO correspond with the reduced walt
