states:
Zone Of the most irritating features Of this
predatory war is that il has itx seat in The British

We find, by reference to the valuable
statistical tables contained in the May num-
Der of Hunts Merchants Magazine, that du-
ring the last nine months the foreign inn
ports received at New York amount, in
dutiable value, TO $3.50, ,l99, 22l. The ex-
ports Tor the same period and fropa the same
point are stated at sea, 1872, s49, of which
S2l, ,6G2, ,264 were in specie. 10 will thus
be seen that not only is the "balance OF
trade largely against the United States,
according to the representations of these
statistics, but, what is still more significant,
one-third Of our commercial exchanges with
Europe from the port of New York is made
in specie. AS it is undeniable that the pre-
ciouS metals always flow from those coun-
tries which are suffering under badly reg
ulated monetary and commercial system, 10
those whose finances are placed on a better
footing, may il not be that this fact supplies
a general criterion by which We can Judge
of the beneficent working of any public
economy
If, for instance, il il seen that the precious
metals flow from Mexico, from Peru, from
Turkey, and from all semi-civiliZed and bar
barous States, TO Great Britain, TO France,
10 Germany, and 10 all countries whose f.
nancial system is the exponent of higher
civilization, may il not be assumed as gen.
eral law that the movements of the precious
metals furnish the most reliable test
by which to pronounce on the soundness or
unsoundness of any commercial system
In France, under the prevalence of what is
called the protective policy, the nett import
of the precious metals during the last twenty
FIVE years has reached the sum of S5000,-
900, 900, and step by step with this influx of
specie she has been advancing in the devel-
opement of her export trade in ratio ex-
ceeding that of any other country in the
world. 1t is obvious that the large access
ions added to the precious metals in France
have touched the nerves of industry and
impaired to them a vigor which has enabled
her to sustain a largely increased foreign
commerce, compelling in turn fresh contri-
buttons 10 her national wealth Such has
been the working of the protective system
in France, and if il be so unsound "a some
speculative economists argue, how does it
happeA that this Empire has been constantly
advancing in prosperity, while free-trade
countries, Notwithstanding the theoretical
superiority of their pablic economy, have
been as constantly suffering from Successive
depletions and impoverishment?
