with you 1t is strange that people who put
down slavery at an immense sacrifice are not able to
suppress monopoly, which is but a mder form Of

right to exchange the produce of his labor except
with his countrynen who offer him much less for it
than the foreigner would give. Some portion of his
labor is thus conhscated.
In our protection days our weavers and artisans
could not exchange with American -four. They ex-
changed with an English farmer, who gave him
sometimes only half the quantity the American
would have given him. Now your farmer is forbid
