Freetrade in England.
♦ ■--- i The Sydney Bulletin says :— Cobden and Bright congratulated themselves on having made England a Freetrade j country and laid the foundation of her eternal prosperity ; but one finds today that their policy has rained English agriculture, destroyed the race of English yeomen, and made deer-parks and game-preserves of millions of acres formerly under tillage, while the population has crowded into cities, become huge warrens for breeding starved and stunted laborers in the service of Mammon, and a war which stopped for one week the importation of food from foreign countries would kill hundreds of thousands by famine. In addition to this, such a change has come over public^ thought that, in the view of the most capable of presentday Freetraders, a return to a Protective policy is only a question of time." •
