tins State, and il Is possible proper action will be
taken IN the premises at an early day The toll on
indian corn on our canals is so high, notwithstand
ing the recent reduction, that II Will, without doubt
seriously interfere with the expectation of that artl-
Gle, particularly that produced in theWesem States,
bordering on the great lakes. very great reduc-
ton on the toll on corn might be made, without in.
juring the revenue Of the State from her public
works, but, on the contrary, increase il. The
toll on bushel OF corn from Buffalo to Albany. ON
the Erie canal, al the present rate amounts TO six
cents per bushe about one fifth part of the first
cost at Buffalo; this is large per cent on the value
and must seriously check its shipment The rate
could be reduced at least one half, which would
give such an impetus to forwarding, that the aggre
gate toll would be increased.
The subject Is an important one for the
consideration of the Legislature of this and
every other State having public works CON-
with the West. As soon as the
value OF this gram becomes known in Great Britain,
the demand tor 1t must be very great; and every ia
ciEty should be extended to the producers of the
West, to get it to the Atlantic shipping ports. as
cheap as possible. The reduction in the duty in
Great Britain, upon this article, we consider the
most important reduction in the whole list, not only
TO the agriculmrists Of the United States, but TO
the consumers Of il in the United Kingdom. The
duty on corn entered into Great Britain under the
new tariff, will be one shilling sterling, or twenty
four cents, per quarter of eight English bushels, or
nine American bushels, being about two and a
half cents per bushel.
