I will take by way ot comparison the insist favored part of England. An Eng- lish farmer halving_ 200 acres in good • culture usually pays for rent and taxes the sum of $3,000 per annum in gold. There we see the Englishman paying an annual rent of more than would purchase aoocl farm of the same extent with us•dimp. We have the advantage . lee i� fee of him =in products, for his money crops are almost exclusively wheat and barley. We ought to be able to purchase lime and other fertilizers as cheap as he can. (Jur markets are within a small fraction as good as his, and indeed, his own mar- kets furnish a demand for our cotton and tobacco, and other surplus articles.= the L - product of our farms. His soil naturally is not as good as ours, but .has been brought up by systematic farming to be greatly superior.- His climate for all the necessary products is very far inferior to ours.
