ceased to exist the ports of that quarter of the globe,
for the last nine years. with the exception of about
three months, have been closed against those impor
tant productions that while those states con-
sumo from 10 to 100000 dollars of the manuiac
lures of Europe, annually, they produce scarcely
any important article which will be received IN re-
turn displaying more ruinous want OF reciprocity
in the intercourse between those portions OF the "
States and Europe. than perhaps has ever occurred
in the history of commerce.
The whole export of -four from the U. States IN
1926, to Great Britain and Ireland, was 27,27@
barrels, and to France 1902.
OF the injury resulting to the nation from the
closing of the European ports against our Sead
stufs, some idea may be formed from tae following
facts In the year Is Z. the sxport Of flour from
the United States was 1.479 barrels valued. accord
ing to the treasury returns. at S17,751,376 At the
close Of that year, the ports OF Great Britain we're
shut against our bread stuffs and have 50 remained
ever since, except for three months In 1873 The
export Of the latter year reduced $4,000 bar
rels and amounted only to 1, 81, 697 barrels val
ue S11, ,769l7. The export of 1919 was reduced
to $50 600 barrels value S6,005, $50. In the year
1925, was 1856, 906 barrels, value $40 Q, l27 al
though in that year we exported 252.786 barrels to
South America, from which in the year 1917 we
were excluded. The population of the Y. States,
which in 1892 was about 100000. IS now about
12,5oO,O0 Yet the export of flour in 1899. was
824 asa barrels, 10000 barrels more than in lo25.
The dimnution of the export of wheat a%d Indian

TO the Citizens of the United States.

The Pennsylvania Society for the promotion of
Manufactures and the Mechanic Arts, beg leave re-
specfully to offer for the candid reflection of their
fellow-citizens, some views of national policy on
which there appear at present to exist differences OF
opinion. Yet it is believed these views will be
found reconcileable with the interests of every
ton of the union, and eminently calculated to en-
courage national industry and promote national
prosperity
The objects of this society, it is true,are more i'm
mediately connected with the interests OF manuiac-
turers and artists-the mutual dependence, howev-
cr, of the great sources of national industry upon
each other and the tendency which an increase OF the
prosperity of one branch naturally has to promote
the welfare of all, is too evident to be denied
The great extent of our territory, and the gene
raj fertility of the soil have attracted the industry
of by far the larger portion of the nation, above 80
per cent of the whole to the pursuits OF agriculture,
and it has NOT been until within these few years that
attention has been in any considerable degree direct
ed to manufactures. :.
In every we'll regulated community, the cultlva'
ton of the soil in the best manner, must always De
subject of the highest consideration and, while
the attention of the society has been called to view
of the existing state of the agriculture OF the coun-
try it has been led to belief, that the depression OF
that important interest, which has arisen from the
want Of due propolto between the consumers and
producers, might have been prevented, by fostering
and protecting those branches OF manufactures,
which made S domestic market, the best OF all
markets, for the rude produce of the soll.'
While the necessity of Europe obliged her to re-
ceive the grain and flour of the middle and west
ern States the farming interests of those states was
highly prosperous but these necessities having long

were not properly under their investigation -
was not thought necessary by them to 60 mo 20
any details to prove The Infamous character o.
Mix. 1t was sufficient for them to say, t'at ne

Committee as no, deserving Of credit upon MS
oath. The majority bad differed in opinion
with the gentleman from Virginia: they though,
it was not necessary TO have resor: to hard
words; but that il was sufficient 10 say that the
testimony Of Mix had no weight with them

opinion that such course was not necessary.
One of the strongest objections which he had

Nelson's Quebec Gazette gives a list of the
recently elected members of the Provincial
Parliament with a designation of their politi-
cal character. Of the fifty members, forty six
are opposed to the executive administration of
The province, or to that Interpretation OF the
constitutional powers Of the assembly which
caused the late dissolution of the provincial
parliament by the governor in chief. The
number Of members who support the admin
istration, which in the last assembly was nine,
is reduced to four.
-Four members are chosen by the city Of
Quebec, four by Montreal, two by the Boz
rough OF Three Rivers, one by The borough of
oorell, and the remaining SO by twenty one
counties, three of which choose one each and
the rest two each The members serve
without pay, and their disbursements amount
10 one or two hundr ed pounds per annum
Forty two are Roman Catholics, five Episco-
paIians, and two of the Church of Scotland.
The population of Lower Canada is about
100000, of whom pine tenths are Catholics.
