Professor Senior, of Oxford, in a course .! h'Cturts on politic.il economy, published tn f&W, .distinctly lays it down, " that it is impossible to encourage the industry of one class of protlucurs, by moons of com mercial restriction without discouraging. to an equal degree, "the exertions (if"ith-r Thai every prohibition of imp irtnltons is a prohibition of ZJJfPOl?
