other dependencies Of Britain. ~ - II among our
selvesthe monthly waste being more IN value than
the annual import OF nerch andise from al the quarters

now a. Il has been a. the close Of every free-trade
ueY0d To- that IL Is owe the fact that men are
everywhere seeking to sell their labor the- skill their
talents and their taste, without finding those who
ia .irc 10 purchase. and are able to pay for them.
Unable Ia sell their one commodity, they are without
the means with which to purchase food aud clothing
The manufacturer cannot buy machinery The ma

Innitcr cannot purchase coal and the coal miner
not purchase labor ana the lsborer driven Ia ask for
aims the only by which TO feed his wife, his
children and himself. The country IS n dead lock.
and there II must continue, long the Government
shall continue to abandon It's people to the control Of
foreign people and foreign governments.
For al these things where are we to Ind q remedy
Among yourselves gentlemen Hercules advised the
man who prayed to him for heip, to put his own
shoulder To- the wheel and his advice may profit u,
il did the wagner. let the sinpownrr look to the
fact, that ships always pay best when Immigration
large and when we import largely OF Taw materials.
Let him next satisfy himself that imm grafton always
grows when factories and furnaces are most ac-
lively employed and when labor Is most largely paid
Studying then, the proceedings OF our shIpowners
generally ne will find that they have been steadily
cooperating with the General Government IN the effort
10 close mines and furnaces to compel the export
Of raw materials TO produce exhaustion Of the soil,
to destroy the value of labor, and to pat stop 10 I'M
migration.
L. the ralroal owner look TO the fact that railroads
become profitable in the exact ratio other dependence
upon local traffic and unprUdbe in the ratio OF then
dependence upon the distant trade. Let MN mex
study the action Of our railroad companies, ana satisfy
hjIn,elC that they have been cooperating with the
Government Tor the annhaton OF all local aclion and
local trade. That DONE he viii understand why II J.
that 81 600 0~, coo invested IN roads have sunk 10
al 600 GEO 0i0 aud will probably arrive at the
conclusion that, Ike our shp-owneFs, they have been
active conrivers at their own ruin.
Let the farIncr look To the fuct that whenever he
helps to close mine furnace he anlllllaieS con
suers Of his products, and creates competitors for the
sale of food.
Let the merchant look to the fact that when he
si-ts in closing furnaces and factories and N TINS dl
minishing the demand for labor, he creates COMPETE
ton in tradC while diminishing the things produced
and requiring 10 be exchanged. Let HIM, then, study
the cOnrse pursued by merchants generally ana he
will be at 10 loss to understand why II that so large
proportion OF our trading operations end ii rum ah!
