This is an average duty Of about 33 l-3

Weimported during the fiscal year 1919,
ending September 80, about $S9, 100000
worth. The present year. ending the 3Oih
inst. will show an increase over the last
year of, probably, about $40, 100000. We
think the imports fer the year will not va
ry much from $l1O, O0o, 900, closing with
the present month. The revenue will a.
mount to between $50, 100000 and s40,-
100000.
If the duties under the present tariff ave-
ragged not over 20 per cent. we would
have imported $500. 100000 worth and
our exports would have been about the
same. Our staple productions, wheat,
cotton, &c. would have brought full one-
third more than they have brought, while
cotton and woollen. goods, sugar, &C.,
would have brought at least 20 per cent,
Then our farmers, planters, and laborers
would have been protected as well as the
manufacturers. But the. tariff, "as 1t u.s.
is plundering the great body Of the people.

protection required TO less than one-twen-

.4bout Carriage.-lf our recollections serve
Us, there was an enthusiastic carriage maker
of Wheeling, who gave out some weeks since,
that he had carriage in readiness to convey
Mr.. Clay from Ashland to Washington. AS
Mr.. Clay is likely to have no occasion for the
said conveyance, we would suggest to the
kind and benevolent gentleman who made the
offer, that he pass on from Kentucky to Ten
nessee, where he will find Col. Polk, In rea'
diness to take the journey.

SPRING.
The flowers of Spring are blooming now,
The fields are dressed in green,
The birds are singing in the grove,
All blilhesome is the scene.
The fragrance oil the morning air
Perfumes the verdant plain;
Nature IS joyous, beauteous, fair,
Sweet Spring is come again.
The dew drops, sparkling on the flowers,
Like diamonds brightly shine,
The songsler in the fragrant bowers,
"Make melody divine"
The Cuckoo, with lis welcome notes,
Proclaims the summer near;
Aid numerous warblers tune their threats
The sorrowful 10 cheer.
But shortly will these beauties fade
For all things must decay,
And gloomy Autumn will succeed
The smiling summer day.
Tins, youth and beauty bloom awhile
Like lovely summer flowers;
All nature seems 10 wear smile
And happiness is ours.
But soon, the Autumn of old age
Succeeds our sunny days,
Aud youth is fed, and beauty's gone:
And blooming health decays.

Wheat Crop IN Michigan.-The wheat
crop, in the southeastern part Of this
Comfy (Jackson) and in the section Of
Washtenaw which we visited, has been.
and is being materially injured by the
ravages of insects. While some fields
are but slightly injured, in others the
crop will hardly be worth harvesting.-
We found some farmers engaged in pillow.
ing up their wheat fields for spring crops
or to summer faliow. The wheat which
was sown early, is more generally clear
OF the insect than that sown late. Can
any Of our correspondents give a pre-.
ventive or remedy for destroying the in

We ore also advised of insects in 9th

to that support, then from year to year
the tariff must Auctuate, up or down, as
the land sales increased or decreased =
keeping the manufacturing and all other
interests of the country constantly f1uctu-
ating and continually Gripping and un-
settling those interest. To the nor-ex-
istence of the distribution act he attributed
ian idea entirely new to the writer the
whole evils of the whitening speculation
pestilence of 1886 and '37-that is to
the accumulation, in the Treasury, and
being loaned out. by banks, through the
country, the SO millions, which other
wise would have passed to the States and
being permanently invested. Independent
of bank loans, which being at short dates
and hastily called in, sci the whole coun-
try in the beginning, speculation -dra'afs'
and in the end, made great portion OF

He then adverted to the hue and cry
raised against him By the Loco presses,
for removing so many Of Van Buren's
office holders during the short period he
presided over the Department of the
General Post Office. He affirmed. from
what he knew of those party.fated in
cumbents, that he believed them all corr
rupt--that the public good required their
removal, and hence he brought them,
from the start, as fast as he could to the
block. That this was his own act--he
claimed all the glory of it-he denied,
pointedIy, that Mr.. Clay, as has been
charged. had any thing to do with it,
declared that he never in single
instance, attempted through him, to
get a friend into office-that, so far
:, from it he had never, in the remotest
degree, directly or indirectly, attempted to
exert the least influence with him, on the
subject of Post Office appointments; bnt
on the contrary, was SO fastidlously re-
served lhar,in cases when it was entirel y
