BY HORACE GREELEY.


The work of Mr.. Atkinson is one Of
the most instructive and admirable that
has YET appeared on the important and
difficult subject of Political Ecouomy--
difficult not so much in its essence or
in the nature of lis laws as in the appi-
cation Of these laws TO the dlssmilar,
complicated, varying circumstances Of
different nations and periods. The laws
educed by Mr.. Atkinson are so Just, so
clear, so vital, and yet so strangely over
looked by those who arrogate to them
selves the title of the Political Econo-
mists in our day, and who resolve all
Political Economic Science into doing
nothing-of whose universe Somuus IS
God--and who elevate the maxim of
the counter, Buy where you can cheap
est to the summit Of attainable wisdom
and craftsmanship. In their ewes the
cheapest possible production-coin be-
ing the unerring standards the great
end Of human effort; and he who is out
stripped in the headIong race is doomed
to ruin and starvation by the law of en-
vious strife and depressing competition,
which they blasphemously represent as
the order Of Providence! These are
The views pat forth by the Political
Economists enthroned in our Colleges
and Senates, as liberal and enlightened. :.

suits from those views. 1t was needed
that the spacions faf.acies put forth by
these teachers should be scrutinized and
confuted, aud this has been done in a
mastery manner by Mr.. Atkinson. AS
