that it would have been divided among fifty other
places which it is impossible to assign by name
But still 1t IS as clear ever that the shilling
which 1t IS proposed to make him expend molens
rOtenS upon the glove-maker, must be taken from
the custom of some other British manufacturers
somehow and somewhere There is no decep-
ton arising from the payments being made in mo-
ney; If instead of shllings they were made with
pecks OF wheat, it would be just rs true that the
third peck which the glove maker demands law
to put in his own pot must be taken from the pud-
ding OF some British manufacturer to whom it
would otherwise have gone. Do not allow YOUR
selves to be tamely taken in because the men who
try to do It wear good clothes Either it is true
or is it not. If it is not true, let somebody show
where 1t is false. Till then take leave 10 account
it correct


Here then are the whole three shillngs perfect
ly accounted for. 1t is shown to be hocus-po-
Gus and fraud, that states qny gain arises to
British commerce or production in the aggregate
from the prohibition of the commerce in French
gloves, or that any aggregate loss is induced by
its absence. The whole amounts only to q plan
for robbinga Sheffield man or a Birmingham,
who can make what people will voluntarily buy,
for the benefit of the glover who cannot for clip
ping the commerce of some individual who has
ingenuity and skill enough to command market,
TO add it to him who is without


But this is not all there is another coun. in tho
indictment The consumer, the unfortunate man
who is in the habit of wearing gloves, is to be the
gratuitous loser ofa shilling besides Fthe shilling
was to go to the benefit of commerce he might wrap
himself up in his patriotism and be consoled. If
1t was really to cause any increase in the safety or
strength ofthe community ofwhich he is mem
6er-if the tbousandth part of farthng of it was
to appear in the shape of national wealth, secur-
ty or splendor-he might lay aside the feelings Of
an injured purchaser of mittens and exnlt in his
fractional portion of the glory of those who have
suffered for their country. But when it is to be
taken from him with no object, no prospect. TO
hope, but that clumsy and inefficient artisan
shall be enabled to appropriate the custom Of an
itself in all its nakedness, his courage sinks under
the view, the feelings of humanity prevail he
drops a tear and wipes it on his three shil-
ling gloves, and sits down melancholy monu-
ment of what it is to be 'the envy of surrounding
nations and the wonder of the world"
