It is time all this talk about faraters being protected in their products ceased. There is no foundation whatever for the assertion. exeept the statute which proposed to collect duties upon products. which. we all know. do not come in as imports. but which in immense volume go out. forming the great part of our export interest. The American farmer must sell his supis products at prices fixed in Liverpool in competition with the products of the pauper labor of Europe. The price. not only of the surplus which is exported but that which is consumed at home. is fixed by the export price. The manufacturer of New England pays the Illinois tarmer no more for his corn. breadstuffs. and provisions than do the manufacturers of England. of France. or of Canada.
