This year, by this hypothesis, these would be increased, the former thirty millions, and the latter seventy-Jive millions of dollars. But if we accumulate all the products of the ground, we do not ascertain the full benefit of this increase of fertility and productiveness ; because the expense of cultivation is not increased in the same proportion as the production ; labor is saved, and therefore high cultivation is the best economy. Multiplying the productions of the country is better than ext...ending its boundary and increasing its territory ; because it adds to its wealth and power, with- out enlarging its frontier, and of course the expense of its defence. We talk of our tariff and revenue, which have occu- pied our ablest statesmen, excited the public mind, and convulsed the nation ; and we have thought these sub- jects worthy of the treasure, the talent, and the time devoted to them ; but if the fertility of our soil were increased, and of course the productions, only two per cent, the addition would more than equal the whole revenue of the nation.
