BRITIsH GRAIN CONSUMED BY AMERI-
cANs.--Besides what the operative eats in
making the cotton, woollen, and other ma
nufactures, vast quantities of flour are used
up in starch pastes, calico printing, &c. in
making the articles imported and consumed
by us. a4


II has often been said by those who ad-
vocate protection to American labor, that in
wearing British cotton, woollens, SC. SC.
we were consuming British wheat, beef,
pork, SIC. Mr.. William Brown, Of ofLiverpool,
lately the Free Trade candidate for Parlia-
rnent. from the county Of Lancaster, says |:
"Paradoxical as it may appear, think
Great Britain is the largest grain exporting
country in the world, although it is impos-
sible to estimate accurately, what quantity
OF grain, &c. is consumed in preparing
E5O,OOO, 900 value of exports, by which
you are so greatly benefited, il is placed
in the laboratory ofthat wonderful intellec-
tual machine man, which give him the ply
sical power, aided by steam, of converting
it into broad cloth, calico, hardware, SC.
&c. and in the shapes your wheats find their
way TO every country in the world"


No country can consume the manufac-
lures Of England without consuming her
wheat and thus contributing to support her
agricultural interests.
