IMpennANp REMUNERATION.

- A4OANs
We have the qualification of presenting to
our readers the remuneration of CHARLES
r. MILLER, Esq. of Cuyahoga Falls, from
locofocoism, together with the reasons that
have impelled him to leave his party. The
letter below is powerfully written and pre-
the reflections of a mind of high order
in a calm, independent and searching inYes-
tigation after truth. Having found it a sense
ofduty TO his country, has led him boldly to
proclaim his convictions TO the world. The
ties and associations of party have bound
him as strong as any other man-he has here
tofore been unhinching in its support, and
from appearances, the last man that would
abandon "democrac ,"-but it was too ''pro-
gressive" for him. Modern democracy hav-
ing abandoned nearly every principle of the
ancient faith of Jefferson, Madison and Mon
roe, an honest man acting from conscientious
and patriotic motives, as soon as he sees
where he stands, cannot avoid the course
that Mr.. Miller has taken-he must break
the party trammels that bind him or act in
bad faith.
Mr.. Miller is extensively engaged in man
ufacturing, and commercial operations, and
has a good opportunity of judging of the prac-
teal operation of protection, and of the loco
foco war upon our state currency. He is the
largest manufacturer of Linseed Oil in the
western States, and probably in The United
States, being principle of the firm engaged in
that business at Cuyahoga Falls, and in an
other large mill at Cincinnati. Mr.. Miller
is also largely engaged in various other i'm
I~portant and extensive manufacturers as well
as in mercantile business. As a man ofre-
|spectability, honor and integrity, as of I'M
yielding energy and activity in business, he
has no superior in our country. The opinion
ofsuch a man is valuable. Let the public
read his letter, and say whether he is not
tright.-Summit Beacon.

practical bearings of the tariff and currency

Some time during the last summer, Mr..
Clay sent me copies of his letters to Mr..
Blair, written in January, 1925, and author
lied me 10 shew them 10 any one who might
wish TO see them. Finding that the charge
of Bargain and Corruption which was made
at the time, and refuted, was revived, and
was now seriously urged against Mr.. Clay,

were referred 10 as containing The proof, |
Icaused a notice 10 be inserted in The

hands, and that they were open to the III
s~pection Of any gentleman of either party.
Thought it impossible, that any man could
readth letters, without seeing and admitting,
that they contain no evidence prejudicial 10

of thought, word or deed-no evidence OF
any selfish or personal feeling-no evidence
of aught but patriotism; and that his bitter
est foes would be compelled to acknowledge

friends of MI. Clay have called upon me
and read these famous letters. Not one o

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

ADVANCE OF CIvILlzATloN.-A recent let
ter from a missionary in Siam, furnishes a.
mong others, the following facts: When the
first missionaries arrived, a few years since,
only three or four square rugged vessels Wis
tied there annually, and not a single one was
owned by the Siamese. Now there are ma
ny such ffty-one have been reported the
last two years. The Siamese have thus
gained more correct views of foreign nations
and obtained many articles Of comfort, espe-
cial the wealthy classes. They have built
vessels after the European models, and in
order to sail them successfully, have paid
considerable attention to navigation and the
sciences connected with it. Ten square,
rugged vessels, some Of them Of large size,
have been recently built, and others are in
progress. Their intercourse with Christian
nations is also interesting, from the fact that
no heather nation has been able to sustain
idolatry under such circumstances They
may have become infdel when not furnished
with Christian instruction but the gross
ness of idol worship does not Withstand the
lights of science.-Salem Gazette.

CHINESE SUGAR.-Thc rapid increase Of
the demand for British goods in China since
the close Of the war and the opening of the

the cheapncss and excellence of British man.
utactures, render it a matter Of great conse-
qucncc that the number Of articles received
in return from that country should be in
creased, and it is, therefore satisfactory to
learn, that there is a prospect Of our receiv-
ing n considerable quantity Of sugar from
China under the new scale Of duties m~cntion-
ed by the Chancellor of the Exchcquer, in
his speech on the Budget. We see from Mr.
Demands interesting account of the voyages
and services of the Nemesis, that there are
large sugar manufactures on some Of the is
lands in the Canton river, and we learn from
our friends who have resided at Bombay and
Singapore. that Chinese sugar and sugar.
candy, of excellent quality and moderate
price, are imported in large quantities into
India and the Indian Islands. From a state
ment in ono Of the Singapore papers, il APP
peare that $3.50 pikuls 1884 lbs. each) Of
Chinese sugar were imported into that port
in l843, chiefly in Chinese Junks, and a. tho
sugar had to be sold in competition with the
cheap sugars ofManilla, Java, Siam and CO.
chin China, the price cannot have been ex-
c~essive. The belief Of several we'll inform.
cd persons is, that Chinese sugar is likely I
be imported into England to a considerable
extent.

And without scorn forgave DO thou the same.

November 18th, 1914,

Dear Sir.-You request information of
your friends on Maui respecting the wheat
lands on this Island. suppose your enqui-
ries relate chiefly to lands in Kula for al
though wheat has been cultivated at Wailu-
ku, on West Maui, and cultivated more sys-
tematically than at Kula, yet it is of an infe-
rior quality decidedly-a smaller berry, and
the flour of a less delicious flavor. As am
in the vicinity Of the wheat lands in Kula, l
take great pleasure in communicating allthe
information in my power. l will also for

with my eye on your enquiries. These l

THE TEN OF LAND CAPABLE OF BEING
CULTIVATED WITH WHEAT l"-Y You will
please bear in mind that the experiment Of
raising wheat on East Maui, has been made
to a very limited extent only. One or W
konohikis have cultivated small fields for
government, raising annually from foe to ten
bushels ; but this they have not done for the
last two years. Besides these, l do not think
that twenty individuals have raised wheat in
Kula. 1t is difficult, of course, to Judge COR
rectly of the extent Of land capable of being
cultivated, i. c. cultivated successfully, so as
to afford promise of fair compensation for la
hor expended. l will however speak of lands
capable of being sown to wheat, and some
portions Of which, l doubt not would produce
plentifully. LIST. There is a strip or belt of
land of from two to four miles in width, l
should Judge, for no measurement has been
made-gradualIy ascending and terminating
at the base Of Haleakala, the high mountain
of Fast Maui. The upper part of this belt
is' presume, in the region of frost, it being
1000 feet or more above the level of the sea.
This land is higher up the mountain than the
land occupied by the people, only now and
Then a house being seen, and these occupied
temporarily by canoe makers. This belt Of
land extends from Makawao, say from Mr..
McLane's sugar plantation to Honuaulu,
som fifteen miles l should Judge. Cd. The
land below the belt above described, among
the habitations Of natives, and where they
cultivate the sweet potatoe, banana and
sometimes dry kalo, is capable, much of it,
OF being cultivated with wheat Nearly all
the wheat that has been raised was produced
