the customs is governed by the laws of trade entirely.
 Duties beyond certain point cannot be 1 imposed without stopping the import, and de- stroying the revenue. With a fuctuating quence, because prices will rise in propor- tion. The only effect is to put large reve- nue into the treasury. In the year 1o42, with a tariff of an average of 20 per cent. on the whole imports, they reached short oi | 0,000,000, and the custom revenue was ,900,000--the currency being very near specie basis In 1896, with tariff averag- ing l2 per cent. on the whole imports, the customs were S24 000,000-the paper cur rency being very full. Now if the present tariff, which averaged on the imports of the 4th quarter of 1912, 34 per cent. of the whole imports, had been in operation in connection with the National Bank scheme, which was defeated at the extra session, the imports would have been as large as in the year 1859, or say Si50,000,000: 34 per cent of that would have given revenue of 5l,000,0 ,000, and the party in power would have been well supplied with means.
 This explains the secret of the amalgama- ton of the antagonist principles of ''Protec- tion" and {" National Bank" combna- tion of the two extracts from the people an enormous amount of money, while 1t floods the country with goods A National Bank is opposed by others, because it is essentially a :. foreign agent.n It is the means by which home industry is destroyed, and the means of the people extracted for the benefit of foreign manufacturers. A steady specie currency, on the other hand, with a tariff. adjusted so as to yield the highest revenue, would permit i'm ports to the sales of the American produce, and no more, and will yield a revenue of about S1S,000,000, which is about sufficient for the support of government, and must be produced either from that source or direct taxation. If a prohibitive tariff Is persisted in, the latter must be resorted to, because a " National Bank is obsoleten It is in full view of this, that parasite politicians contend for system which is doing more to loosen the solid structure of the Union, than can all the efforts of combined Europe.

fl successful experiment. in Corn Planting On a recent tour to the farm of B. R. Smith Esq. near the race-course, l was gratified a his success in planting this important staple of our country.
 On the last year, much surprise was ex- pressed by planters that Mr. Smith should have succeeded in raising 76 bushels and Is quarts of corn to the acre. He then stated that his experiments were not yet completed -that the ground, by judicious management. would admit of still closer planting, and he hoped yet to succeed in raising 100 bushels to the acre. He doubted the old theory, that what is called ring in corn was the result of close planting, but believed that it was occa- stoned by the poverty of the land-he believ- ed that the milling of the corn was not attend ed with benefit, and that if the land was tho roughly prepared previous to planting, it re- quired but little other attendance than that given by the improved plough called the cul- tivator.
 The land on which the present crop is planted was originally poor, and much ex- hausted by injudicious cultivation. It was thoroughly ploughed and manured with sta bic manure, in proportion of 60 single cart loads to the acre-the corn was soaked in saltpetre, rolled in gypsum, and planted on flat surface in double rows, the stems eighteen inches apart, in rows of four feet Very lit- tie use was subsequently, made of the hoe the cultivator was run through it few times the luxuriance of the growth kept down the grass, and rendered all further culture un- necessary. The ears are now filled, and the crop is considered safe from any vicissitudes of the season. The field has the appearance, in its rich green foliage, of vigorous growth of young forest. It is the finest field of corn have ever beheld, and its believed by good judges that the product will not fall far short of 100 bushels per acre. B.

The following advice is given by Dr. Phil lips, of Mississippi, in regard to the manage ment of the cotton crop:
 "The work of September, October, and November, is almost the same: picking cot ton, ginning, pressing, and hauling, with a continuance of the same; picking cotton clean, no trash at all admissible; go in for quality rather than quantity-one bale of fine ly handled cotton MAY bring you $40, but a bale of trashy, dirty, cut and twist, will not over 25 or 2S. Don't attempt to gin over two bales day on 50 saw gin; let your mules take steady, slow gait; quick work suited flush times-but, earnestly, rapid mo- ton must break the fibre and cut it, whereas slow, regular, and steady motion must pull it off the seed-the gin really only draws the staple off the seed. In pressing, put in 42O to 30pounds in bale; run screw well home, and cover every particle of cotton; sew sides AND ENDS neatly, in the press, if you can 1; put on not less than seven ropes, eight is more common; draw rope tight with wind lass attached to press, which many have not, and tie hard, so the rope will hold bale as near size as possible.
 A'"'hOi udi pi1h eottou Wuilc wet rom rain, you would do better to continue your repairs, putting down woods pastures, and such like. It is not only troublesome to dry cotton, but the dirt and leaf become attached and stain the cotton; and it not mfrequently happens, quantities of cotton are kept wet by cloudy, rainy weather, in September, that sprouts the seed, and injures the cotton ma terially. A few of these wet days can be en- ployed m housing corn, gathering peas corn, fl wet; by scattering in gn-house, they will dry. Save pumpkins for winter eating and feeding.
 "lt is rather injurious to land-rather it takesaway from land an excellent food-but if scarce of provender, cut up pea vines, let them lie one day, then throw up into small but high heaps for one day more, then haul uP and pack away-a layer of oats, wheat, or rye straw, layer of lime, with little salt sprlnkled over the vines, and so on-give the madam enough of this, and will guarantee SHE will give you fine, rich butter, and milk,

Penmsylrania.-Her Debt and Resource

Pennsylrdnia.-Hcr Debt and Resources. The Baltimore American says: The pub lie debt of Pennsylvania amounts to about S4O,O00,000. This is large aggregate, but when her vast resources and mineral treasures are considered, 1t will seem comparatively small. The coal mines of Pennsylvania are surprisingly rich, vast in extent, and mex haustible in quantity. It is computed that her mines of anthracite extend over nearly a thousand square miles; and the area of her bituminous coal region is estimated at some twenty thousand miles,. The quantity of an- thracite coal carried to market has increased, Tn the space of twelve years, from 175,000 tons, to 100000 tons and nearly double that quantity of bitumnous coal is mined in the State, a large portion of it being consumed within the Commonwealth, chiefly at the west
 A statistical work, recently published by MT. Trego, gives a variety of particulars concerning the physical geography and con- dition of Pennsylvania. For many years past the State has increased in population, al the rate of about 30 per cent. in each suc- cessive period of ten years. In lS40, the whole population of Pennsylvania was l,724,000, and in 1850 it will doubtless ex- eeed two millions.

COLD WATER The thirsty iowrets droop. The parching grass Doth crisp beneath the foot, and the wan trees Perish for lack of moisture, By the side Of the dried rilis the herds despalrng stand, With tongue protruded. Summers fiery heat Exhaling, checks the thousand springs of lie. Markd ye yon cloud glide forth on angel winsf Heard ye the herald drops. with gentle force Stir the broad leaves?-And the protfac.ea ram Waking the streams to run their uiheiui way Saw ye the ilocks rejoice, and uld ye lall To thank the God of fountains!
 See,-the hat pant for the water brooks. The teyered sun Of Asia gltters on his leafy lair As fearful of the lions wrath, he hastes With timid footsteps thro' the whispering reeds: Quick leaping to the renovating stream, The copious draught his bounding veins inspires With joyful vigor.
 Patient OCT the sands, The burden-bearer of the desert cline, The camel, toileth. Faint with deadly thirst. His writhing neck of bitter anguish speaks. Lo! an oasis and tree-girt weli,- And moved by powerful instinct, on he speeds, With agonizing haste, to drink or die. On his swift courser,-o'er the burning wild The Arab cometh. From his eager eye Flashes desire. Seeks he the sparkling uine Giving it's golden color to the cup2 No. to the gushing spring he flies, and deep Buries his scorching lip and laves his brow, And blesses Ala.
