The Philadelphia Sentinel of Wednesday. contains a
detailed statement of the quantity of Teas Coffee Mo-
lasses and Salt imported and consumed during the las,
year. and the exact amount of the reduction effected bv

rehci Afforded chiefly to the poor man. by these acts
"under General Jacksons Administrations" is SO 47S-
| 7S4 g.
In the ratio of Representation, the share of Mary
land in this relief is about I7 900 per annum or the
interest OF per cent of capital of nearly SO 900 600
Its precisely the same as though the state had paid
oil mortgage TO the amount of three millions of dol
| lars upon her whole industry.
This, however, is not ALL the increased comforts the
enlarged consumption, the augmented of enioy-
ment and subsistence which succeed the full one
ration oil these measures, and their beneficial effects
upon Navigation ana commerce, 10 be taken into the
account and are more valuable than the mere sum of
money which may have been saved. The effect of A re-
ducton oil duty in increasing the consumption of these
articles Is strkingy cXemplifed in the effect of the
changes which have been made in the duties on coffee
IN England, as mentioned DAYS since in the ~ Y
Evening Post In 1907 the duty on coffee in that coun
try was Is Sd pound; and the quantity entered for
nome consumption amounted 10 ,l70, l6i lbs The next
year the duty lowered to 3d. and in 1929 there
were no fewer than 925l 1877 lbs entered for home con-
sumption The revenue from the duties on coffee in
stead OF suffering by the reduction nearly doubled
The duty being raised from I'd TO Is. pound the i'm
portaons became in 1924 only 1913 OH lbs but being
afterwards lowered TO Cd. pound the imporaon were
more than 10 millions of pounds in 1926 and i'm 1928
more than Ito millions, yielding larger revenue than
ever.
We ask whether, under these circumstances and with
this great benefit secured by the national policy of the
present patriotic administration it is undgned and
degrading to the character of the of MARYLAND
SANCTION such clamor as the opposition have raised,
because the President could not consistently with his
sense oil duty, approve bill for loing $3.50 900 TO
private company n the state. Had il been free gift
the interest would have amounted to less than $40 900
per annum, a sum absolutely too Insignificant to merit
any great amentaton for its loss, from rich in
resources and abundant in industry the state OF Mary
land But the w. ). were TO take stock in re-panent
and the dividends upon that stock to go out of
Maryland into the Golfers of the general government
And this is the great BOOM the refusal of which is TO
cast the whole state ''into gloom and despair"
NO stronger testimony be found of the debasine
effect OF this petty system of local appropriations by
Congress- upon the true character proper dignity
the States, than the humating exhibited by the
coalition presses on this occasion, representing the
state OF Maryland almost mendcant at the door of the
Treasury, praying for loan upon good securify of
Sl5O,OOO, and refusal, becoming almost bankrupt
and venting her wrath upon administration, which
has in one single year relieved her from burdens C.
quiyaent TO direct tax of twenty times the amount
This is the degrading light in which the opposition has
exhibited the state light which no true republican no
genuine friend OF her character honor and interest is
willing to sanction by his vote or countenance
