There can Be no question bui that the Tariff d

Ithas been estimated tina: the Wheat crop Of
the present year will amount TO l25, 200, 900

than were ever before raised 10 this country.-
The crop Of is42 was O3,OOo, 900, and i. was
this crop which relieved the country Of iis bur.

deb; and difficulties BY the rsYnlsons Of The two

were exported that year, gave rene we'd impulse
to all kinds of business and The times have been
