*,* It will be seen, on mature reflection, that this Statement does not apply to the general question of 
excess of export over and above the amount of import, but shows in itself an excess of quantity exported 
asa ie aicce of a depreciation in value effected at the expense of the operative artizan, by areduc- 
tion in the rate of his wages. It is true that, as value and price are mere relative terme, having no signifi- 
ation or definite meaning in themselves when applied to the affairs of nations, had the quantity of imports 
increased in a corresponding degree (o the increased quantity of British produce and manufactures exported, 
tne difference in value would then have been of no importance; but it will beseen, by col. No.7, that if due 
allowance be made for the increased quantity of raw material of manufactures, which has been re-exported 
under the head of British produce and manufactures, instead of under the head of colonial and foreign pro- 
duce, that the quantity of colonial and foreign productions imported and retained for home consumption, in 
the foor last years 1819-22, bas actuaily been less than it was in the four years 1758-1801, thereby demonstra- 
ting a sacrifice or waste of the productions of the British artizan and Jabourer ‘and at their exclusive expense,) 
of no lessan amountot value in the fifteen years 1798-1522 thin 257,259,242. in comparison withthe average 
value uf the produce of their labour during the ten years 1798-1807, and of £328,808 387. if compared with 
the value of the produce of their labourin the years 1802-3; and, was the comparison to be made against 
the value) of the produce of their labour during the fourteen years 1784-97, the sacrifice or waste would 
rove to be not less than to 460,000,000 ; but, as there was no authentic return of the real value of 
Brvcish produce and manufactures exported prior to 1798, when a duty was levied under the pretext of 
defraying the expenses of convoy, the case is submitted to rest On the resulis which the authenticity of the 
documents that have annually been laid before Parliament, since the period of 1798, alone exhibit,
