Exports FROM ONO. 1910 AVID 1912.


The total taxes State. and county amounted to
siseo0oo in is,o-in addition to which the producers
were charged with bank tax Of per cent average
of $40 bank loans which done to facilitate
commerce." This tax amounted to $4,000. This will
soon reduced $is0OO and relieve the people to an
extent equivalent than half the tax on the State
debt The condition of Ohio is SUCH therefore that al
though she is laboring under temporary embarrassment
from the pushing of the State works in
son of dscred and nu red her credit by tamper

vet her existing will purge the State those fraudu-
lent institutions and may be inferred that her works
will Weld revenue sufficient to meet her oil legations.
This latter depends howe upon the ex
tent of the foreign market for agricultural produce.
Ohio Indiana and Illinois have all immense works
which they hope their completion will yield revenue
suc to the cost of their construction
TODD this the foreign outlet for produce must be predi-
gousy increased which be done only by the most u
cious policy the part of the Federal The
delinquent States ask for assistance because they have
plunged themselves debt for the purpose of constructing
works which shall convey their produce to market In
diana and Ohio have nearly completed their main works
and Illinois about 81 900 to complete her canal
which is yield sufficient to support debt of
$4,000 900 $500 600 per All these works will
pour upon the lakes volume of produce sufficient TO feed
only the United States but large portion OF Europe
The of all the public works. the welfare of the
farmers and the faith OF the States depend upon their
finding sale for that produce abroad by every possible
means. At the moment when the works completed
and the States nearly exhausted with the effort when
their produce is flowing market and they look to the
helping hand of the federal to prepare the
for its export they met with prohbitive taEi 10 pre-
vent foreign goods coming in for the purchase Of their

The protective tariff is deemed sufficient of s If
ruin the farmers but the manufacturers have called
meetings to carry the views contained in report OF
the Hon. Caleb Gushing at the last session Of Congress-
which was to return to nonntercourse with the British
Colo unless United States vessels shall be allowed to
trade from Colony another other words to do
the coasting trade OF Great Britain This is mpudent
apetence that it can have other object than exclu
sion OF foreign commerce The British Colonies take
halt Of all the agricultural exports of the United
States In ls29 the exports to the Colonies were about

prohibition of this trade and the Hon. Abbott
