BRITISH GOLD AND THE LOCOS.
The great aim ofthe Locofocos in the
coming election is to destroy the policy of
protecting American labor against foreign
labor. This is the simple point at issue.-—
The Whigsare in favor of such protection.
the Iocofocos are against it. Of course. for-
eign nations side with the locos. since it is
for their interest to do the work of the Amer-
ican people. Ifthei protective policy pre-
vails we shall do our own labor; if nol. luf-
eigners will do it for us. Great Britain has
long made it the great object of her ambition
to be the ‘workshop of the world.‘ She de-
sires to manufacture all the goods which the
rest ofthe world requires. In that way the
rest ofthe world will pour its wealth into
her coffers, and will thus become tributary
to her greatness. In order to effect this re-
sult she will spare no efliirt. We have all
ready seen some ofthe methods which she
adopts—-—the ‘bounty’ which she pays on ex-
ports of her goods —the ‘loans’ which she
makes to her manufacture.-rs,ec.all of which
are intended to enable her peopleto undersell
American manuf-ictures, in the American
market. Another method to which she re-
sorts is the dissemination among our p€0Dl¢’
of Free Trade documents. A late number
ofthe London Times has the following para-
graph, with reference to this matter!
‘A subscription was recently opencd I0
raise funds to circulate Free ‘Trade Tracts
in Foreign Countries. About four lzunrlreri
and forty tlzousanrl -were s-ubscribcrl. Some
oft/iese tructs are to be prt'n.lerl to New York
for circulation in tlie Unzted States ?’
Here is proof positive‘, that the locofocos
are assisted in the crusade against Protection
by British GJI-I. Every manufacturer in
Great Britain is directly interested in the
success of the locofocns. If J K- P0”-' l5
elected, protection will be abandoned; Amer-
ican manufactures will be destroyed; -—-the
American people must then depend on l0|'
eigners for their needed goods: and thus the
manufacturers of Birmingham. l\llancl1t'Slef
and other English cities find new custouiers
in America. They can therefore afliirtl to
spend vast sums of money in aiding the elec-
tion of Polk. from which they are to receive
so large and decided benefits. Subscriptions
have accordingly, as the Times says. been
opened in various sections ofthe. country.and
],-tr-gr; sums of ii;on€‘_V are raised to circulate

There is nothing in all this which should
cause surprise, however it may alarm us.-
Vlle ought to expect that foreigners will make
every exertion in their power to obtain con-
trol of our markets. It is their business to
do so. We should pursue the same policv
if we were similarly situated. \Ve should
find it necessary to do so. These British
manufacturers Jct only like shrev:d, enter-
prising. f.ir-seeing business men. They find
that other nations are beginning to do their
own labor; they buy of them less and less
every year. It thus becomes a matter ofthe
utmost importance to persuade other nations.
if possible, to abandon the protective policy.
Like expert and skilful salesmen, they use
all the means in_their power to make us be-
lieve that they can sell us goods on iriuch
better terms than we can make them our.
selves. And now they say that if Henri-
Cluy is elected President, and the policy of
protection is established. we shall always do
our own work, and they will losethe market
here. The London Atlas ofa recent date.
very forcibly expressed this apprehension in
the following paragraph:
"The election of M r. Clay must we FEAR
be looked upon as. to a considerable extent,
tlte confir-oration of tlie principal of commer-
cml restrtction. He has always been the
consistent advocate of a Protectii.-c To.-ri/f.
and the cause of the Whigs has always been
identified with that of the New England
manufacturers, who aim at acquiring a mo-
nopoly of the home market by the aid of pro-
hibitory duties. Nor can we wonder that
such is the policy ofthe most respectablsand
intelligent statesman of America, when we
consider that by our com laws we shot the
