ries. because Il il food England needs
from India, and she compcls tho tillers OF
the soil to takc manufactures in exchange
for the products Of agriculture. And mnrk
the phenomenon which accompanies tho
FREQ Submission of English manufactures
into India md the free export Of
food from India to England. while
more than thirty million bushels OF
wheat have been for some time m.
nually exported, yet during the reign OF
Queen Victoria, thirty.scven million OF
the people OF India have died OF hunger,
those who were formerly engaged in man
uiacturing industries having nothing TO
do, those engaged III agriculture being
compelled to render up the whole pro-
duct Of tho field 10 pay tho cxhorbitant
land tax, fromwl,icil Eilgiaud draws more
than Il hundred million dollars year.
There You have the result OF English free
trade in one country; the development OF
agriculture, combined with the extinction
OF native manufactures and tho creation OF
artificial famine by which millions OF in
dustrious human beings perish Of hunger
while ships bear away millions OF bushels

u TIE CASE OF IRELAND. h.
Look Mt Ireland. Again you sec n coun.
try fitted by nature Tor manufactures and
commerce. One hundred and fifty year:
ago, when industry WIS taking OH the
manifold forms under which It thrives TO-
day, Ireland promised to become one o.
the richest aud most thrifty countries or
the globe. She raised enough food to fecG
all her people aud leayo q largo surp!u.
for export. Her capacity for manufacture
ing WIS practically unlimited; but, bylaw
after law, England struck her from the
list OF manufacturing countries and re
duccd her to the sole business OF agricul
: turc. What is the result? You kuow
: that, although annually exporting food te
F.llsEtlu, lIlcIc INV uceH ycurs WHcl
hundreds OF thousands OF her people per
ished OF hunger, ind that within tiv,
years. although but a few hours distan
from London, tel,o OF thousands OF her in
dastrious toilers would have died OF hun
ger il the charity Of our own country hat
not speedcd acros' the sea to save them
That is what English free trade has don,
for Ireland.
