A two-page economic commentary, reprinted from The Economist, arguing that French protective duties on linen yarn and cloth harmed France. It cites the 1842 duty increases, the fall in British linen and yarn exports to France from 1841 to 1854, and the rise in French flax spindles from 1840 to 1853. It also criticizes the preferential treaty with Belgium and the neglect of agriculture, linking these policies to food shortages and political upheaval under Louis Philippe.
