The Hell-known Member OF Parliament,
MI. Bovles shows that although England
claims to be, and all other nations believe
her to be, the one Free Trade countrT.
there is no other country in Europe viii h
evies SO large amount of customs duties
at its ports. The present tendency, he
says, in Great Britain is to leave things as
they are, and to trust to the natural ex-
pansion of the revenue-from the steadily
increasing prosperity of the country-to
provide for the greatly swelling expendi-
lures. This will be all very well so long
as the prosperity continues, but he adds,
should trade languisb, and the prosper

who have, will arise and begin tc
