wheat, five. cents on corn, and so. on, lust

Il puts in d clear light the futility Of that
objection to the new tariff, which urged that
the vast English market for bread stuffs

this moment in process Of expectation from
the port Of New York to some Of those
ports, from which, as the wings havetold us,

tained. These are facts which cannot be
lost upon the agricultural masses of the
country. In view Of such facts, it is hard
