The abandonment of protection, therefore, had iajared our free labor sugar colonies without permanently benefitting our manufa-turit g interests. Mr. Warain said that inasmuch as England employed and fed about 4,000,000 of people on the manufacture of cotton produced mainly by slave labor, he was a greater epcoureger of the slave trade than any other civilized na- Uo in the world, and be suggested that the most effectual means of dimInisbIng thas trade was to develope the growth of cotton by free labor. The consumption of cotton had doubled !tgelf within the iast 12 years, while the means of producing it bad insreased only 2834 per cent siuse the year 1790.
