Diminished produce of grain
Frenchland, has instituted very MI
mute inquiry into the decrease which
has taken place in the produce Of grain,
as compared with ancient times; and
has adduced host Of curious facts t.
establish the circumstance. According
to the book Of Genesis, the soil of Ge-
rara, town Of the Philisiines, yielded
one hundred for one; and, according
to Herodotus, the lands near Babylon.
which were irrigated by the canals
down from the Tigris and Euphrates,
produced three hundred FOR one The.
ophrastus, however, records, that with
very little attention, fifty for one could
beobtaIned. and with sklIful cultivation,
one hundred. Varro tells us, that in
Syria and Bjzacium (the present site
of Tunis,) the soil yields seed hun
dred fold Sirabo relates the same thing
Of the land about Leoutium in Sicily.
and also speaks Of the trecentnple pro-
duce Of the Babyloniau territory, but
that it was confined to barley alone.
Niebuhr, in his Travels, attributes az
equal measure Of fertility to the enyi.

hard grain, called bourrs produces oor

Tares Reduced. When Gen. Jack
son was elected President OF the IT,
States, it will be recolected, he ear
neslly recommended to Congress, the
propriety oireducing the duty or tax on
Colfee, Salt, Molass es, Chocolate, and
Tea, several of them he particularly
named. Congress accordingly took up
the subject, and have passed law
providing for the reduction of those
taxes. The tax on coffee, it is known,
is five cents pound, put on aud paid
at the Custom House, as soon as j,
arrives in the country. 1t will hereafter
only be two cents pound, aud in the
course of year, Will be reduced to one
cent. Now, every family that has been
using at the rate of pound of coffee
Il week heretofore, has been paying To
the government an actual tax Of two
dollars and sixty cents a year: which is
now to be reduced to one dollar aud
tour cents, and in the course of year
will be reduced to- liiiy-two ceu,s.
The tax on salt has beeu re luced ten
cents on the bushel, so that every
farmer using ten bushels in the course
of a year, will pay one dollar less tax
for support OF government in the article
of salt.
The duty on Molasses has been
ItuuCtU ll't CG4ItS odtl')U, therefore
every family that uses ten gallons OF
molasses in a year pays fifty cents less
tax on this article for support of gov
eminent than heretofore.
So i'll proportion on Tea, Chocolate,
&c. are the taxes diminished thus
deprlving the government of several
millions annually in the form of revenue,
but saving to every family in the country
in these articles, an average tax of
several dollars year.
The reason why General Jackson
selected these articles particularly, is
because they enter into the consumption
Of every tamily-even the poorest, and
in reducing the duies. his plan is TO
commence with those which bear upon
the poor.
