As to the past the "Mssouran" is the organ Of the

porter is on the side of the SOILS, and has been no
friend of Colonel Benton. The "Missourlan" makes
a remark upon the calculations we might have
formed on he effects Of the coheaive attraction OF
the spollsn upon Colonel Benton and his friends.
This remark of the ''Missourann is not founded
upon any language which has appeared in the
"Union." The following is the paragraph from our
pen, in the "Union of the 18th July, to which The
"Missourian" probably makes ausion:

Touching the two queries which the MissoWian

said in the Union to remove any "apprehensioHs'
which may be entertained upon these measure.
We assure its editor that the administration has no

t--esr-s--tfow doyvu~ be sugar;pant-
ers tax the consumer iva nrions Of dollars
year, numW
Ans. Because we know that The American sugar
crop amounts to two hundred thousand hogsheads
a year; and we have seen that, on each hogshead
there is a tax of twenty-five dollars which makes,
ON the whole amount, five millions, as SAID.
Cues. Why do you say this tax of the sugar
planters as well all manufacturers, is on the IN
crease
Ans. Because they-increase their productions.
Cues. Does the amount Of the tax which is paid
to the protected classes increase their productions
increase
Ans. Certainly; every new sugnr.house and eve
ny new factory is new custom-house, with power
not to divide The old tax, but TO lay on new tax
for its own production.
Cues. Can you illustrate this statement
Ans The sugar-planters, collectively, now make
two hundred thousand hogsheads, Jas we have sta
ted,) and on this amount derive a revenue from the
consumers by the tax of five millions Of dollars a
year Presently they viii make three hundred
thousand hogsbeads; then this will be
million five hundred thousand; and, before very long,
they will make -four hundred thousand, with reye-
nue. Of ten millions.
| Cues How do you establish that the whole
amount which the sugar-panter and the manuiactu-
rcr tax the consumers is fifty millions of dollarsi
! Ans 1t is known that there is more than twice
the amount of protected r,ices Of home production
consumed there is imported, aud the rate of tax
we have seen is the same on both. So that whilst
the imports produce twenty-five millions for the
| government the home-Iased articles produce fifty
millions Of dollars for the favored classes. The con.
sumers pay twenty-five millions of dollars for the
support of both.
| Our next conversation was upon home consump-
/ ion and home market; which we will publish be-
fore long, if this is fayoraby received.
