In 1871 the consumption per head to the inhabitants
of the United States was / ID. 4 o. In 1880 the
proportion had increased to lbs. per head the for
egn price having fallen 90 per cent After the 31st
December, 1880, coffee paid 2 cents, and in 1881,
cent; after which II was free. The importation in
the year 1881 doubled in consequence of the reduced
duty and the consumption per head for the four years
ending with 1912, averaged lbs. per head, having
quadrupled to each inhabitant since 1921. A large
portion of the increased consumption, as seen above,
Is derived from the Brazs the effect of the produc-
lion of which country has been the price of coffee
what the products of the Southern States has been TO
that of cotton. From 1920 to 1910, the Brazilian
product increased HOO per cent, or 1885, 900 lbs
In the time the consumption in the United States
has increased 1877 OOO,O 900 lbs. leaving an increase
Of 100000 lbs Of Rio coffee, besides the enhanced
products of all countries, to supply the increased
sumption Of England and Europe. The result has
been the great diminution in price eyinced in the
above table. The cost per Id. TO the consumer has
been in the last IL years further reduced by the re-
moval of the duty; that is, the coffee which cost
cents In 1880, cost the consumer 16 cents duty and
charges. The same coffee now costs cents, a re-
duction of cents, which has given the spur to the
consumption. In England, foreign coffee pays I6
cents per Id. duty, and colonial coffee cents The
consequence is, that while the United States, in 1874
with population of II 900 900, consumed I49 ILL.,
$40 lbs. coffees Great Britain, with a population of
270O0,OO0, consumed 81 1894 900 lbs only, or less
than one-fourth the consumption of the United States
Now, the effect Of this increased consumption of Bra

Now, it is sometimes alleged that the import of
foreign goods drains the country of its treasure Here
is the fact that increased purchase Of 573 1892 worth
Of coffee, which added largely to the enjoyments of
the people of the United States resulted in increased
sales Of American produce to the extent Of 1923 1921

is always tie result of national interchanges.

THE CAPITULATIoN OF MoNTEREY.-The Galves-
ton Civilian publishes extract of a letter from
Governor Henderson, in which he says: "Idid not
as one Of the Commissioners, together with General
Worth and COL Davis, to carry out Gen. Taylor's an.
structions. We ought, and could have made them
surrender at discretion, and so said to Gen. Taylor,
but he and al the regular officers content ,rA the
terms fred upon, and | shall not condemn them--
Gen. Taylor first instructed to demand surrender
of the city, Notifications, all their arms, and all other
public property, and that the officers and men should
be permitted to retire without parole, Ito which
readily assentea in my mind,) but the Mexicans
declined, rather begged Gen. Taylor to save their
honor BY allowing them to carry off their arms, and
be finally agreed to do So and Instructed US accord

E2-The leading article of the Rockville Ameri-

and mpudencc. 1t seems to be studied effort to in
suit the publishers of every other newspaper in the
State and to be based on the belief that brazen, self
assumed superiority and hypocrisy is the pass
port to public favor and confidence. As TO its impu-
dence in speaking of the Indianapolis papers being
unable to give full and correct reports Of the legisa
tive proceedings 'except by large donations from the
public crb have only to say, so far the State
Sentinel is concerned that it is indebted quarter
for donations of any kind. Our paper is north, in
our opinion, all the price charged for it, matter
whether it be subscribed for by the people their
representatives.. And to the pretence Of the Ameri
that it gives any thing like true transcript of
those proccedngs-it is sheer humbug, calculated for
other purpose than deceive its readers. We
excuse this impudence of Mr.. Clarkson only on the
superstition that he wishes not only to gull his read
ers, but also that he wishes to sch out his rckey
Germ, and for that purpose abors to convey the i'm
preston of the wonderful popularity and profits of
his paper. With all his jockeying We suspect he will
hardly find person green enough to be diddled by it,
