Change injHriou', ii not hcnefi-


Change, to be cn,iicia, must be for the
bot:cr. 1t matters but little how often the
| phases Of society may be altered, how many
| times the regulations that govern man may
become different, if the people who maze
such changes be not benefited, il becomes
merely time wasted in idle whlns and man,
the worker, grows to be man the dreamer.
I lfby moving goods from one place to anoth
or, there arises no profit the transfer be-
! comes loss. Ii were more advantageous to
! iorcgo the Transportation, and dispose OF the
merchandise at the place oiits manufacture
by the same line Of argument, We know that
certain fixed rules govern the merchant in
| his details of profit and loss. If his goods
cost more to import than they will bring at
sale, we know tnat his trade Is losing one.
and the change benefits him nothing; il he
/ persists in this importation, in opposition 10
the evidences of his own sense, we regard
him as poor merchant a bad financicr, and
would be 10th to entrust our wares in such
hands. SO 1t is with governments; if a
change be made by the rulers of a govern
mcnt, which in the face Of fact they know to
be productive Of nothing effective We set
ticm down as bad or corrupt Statesmen. 4
rule That governs nature may be rule 10
g"v-rn reason, for iuason should be founded
on nature. IL is natural 70 love our children,
our friends, etc n ason then points out how
we may best cv,ncc such love. We hcar
many men, who arc either TOO weaken nded
