 We copy the following correct and brief exposition of an undeniable principle of po- iitical economy, from late number of the New York Piebian

 '.Fhe way to protect the farmers, Is to give them the world for market. And this can only be done by lessening the duties on manufactures, 50 that our farm produce can go abroad and purchase that we do not grow or make at home, or that which cannot be grown or made as cheap at home as 1t can be imP9red.n

 The New York Evening Postyupon the same subject says

 "By excluding the goods of England from this country, VIC have to that extent impaired her ability to purchase our agricultural pro- ductss If the harvests-i in this country, there fore have been unusually large, aud prices have fallen in consequence, 1t is very obvious that the cause is to be looked for in the fact that we have shut. out the demand from abroad for the surplus of production. Had there been no high tariff, the abundance of our hafvests would have found it's way to the empty stomachs and naked backs of the Door starving people of England; and by this, both they and we should have been cx-1

 

 tensSely benefitted."

 ..But, says the Commercial, the karvests were also abundant in England, so that our l products would have found no present mar l ket. Now, allowing the harvests in England .to have been abundant as is represented, one fact Is certain, that they were not abundant enough to supply more than one half of the amount of wheat, &e., actually consumed, and scarcely one~seventh of what is dernan- i ded by the necessities and comforts of the ] people It is a notorious fact that Great Bri- tain s compelled 10 import some thirty mil 1 lions of quarters of wheat from abroad, and that large proportion of her laboring peo- pie are still bordering on . state of starva- tion Let the absurd laws which prevent that laboring population from introducing l their manufactures into this country, to be exchanged for the products of our harvests, be repealed, and the harvest, which now cause prices to fall, would find steady sale,

 ''Itis not, then, at the rains and showers of heaven that our farmers should rail, but at the selfish and short sighted schemes of politicians, who intercept ihe blessings which heaven 90 richly dispenses to all people. We believe however they require the advice nel- I ther of the Commercial nor the Evening Post on this point, nor unless. our information from all parts of the county is deceptive, the farmers are pretty well informed of the sources 10 which they must ascribe their grievances"
