The remedy for these evils is simple
Let the medical profession, who for their
silence in this matter are not without blame,
take vaccination again into their own hands;
let them impress upon parents the crImI-
nality of suffering this important measure
of safety to their children's lives to be ma
naged by unskilful nurses and emPlrlcs:-
Let there be at once established vaccine
institution in our city, under the care of
some competent professional man, and from
lit let vaccine matter of the purest and most
genuine character be disseminated over the
State; and lastly, let every person who has
been vaccinated since the reign of unskll-
full vaccination and impure matter-that is,
within the last twenty or even thirty years,
be revaccinated.
Thus we may perhaps arm ourselves a
gainst the approach of this malignant de-
stroyer of our race.
At all events, We have done our duty
We have raised the voice of warning, and
we leave the subject in the hands of our
readers, confident that its importance will
excuse us to them for the space which we
have devoted to its consideration.

In regard to the growing crop, the Times saws:
Ihe prospects for the growing crop are not consd-
cred as favorable they were at the same time last
year. and when it is borne in mind that the weld
then promised to exceed that Of any former season,
whilst the result shows virtual deficit of "a 600
hhds. as compared with the crop Of 1874, il ia a
sufficient proof Of the very precarious nature of the
cultivation in this climate. In consequence of the
cold and wet spring, accompanied by continued
rain in the early part of August, the plant is actu-
ally backward, and is thus more exposed to the in.
auence of an early frost; but the increased quality
of new lands placed under cultivation. will com.
pensate as is generally conceded for any deficiency
arising from that score; whilst, with late and "a
vorable season, the crop may exceed that of last
year. The rattoon cane il bad, and will Weld
poorly, whilst the plant cane, more especially in
Attakspas, is represented as unusually good"

THE WAY IT woRKs.-As soon as the new tariff
was passed, remarks the New Haven Register, the
panic makers made out that the stoppage Of home
labor would be immediate, and our exports would
have all to be made thereafter in specie. But dur
ing the last month the exports of domestic products
from New York amounted to 81, Ala, 1884, while dur
ing the corresponding month ofas year they were but
81 $50 276 So the export ofspecIe was only $751;
$50 to 1858, 263 in the corresponding month Of last
year Great signs Of panic these. The agltators
also predicted that the revenue would fall of be-
cause the merchants would reship their goods in
der 10 import them under the new tariff. But, alas
what false prophets. Il appears by returns at the
New York custom. house, that the amount Of foreign
dutable goods exported during the month Of August,
1916, was out Sl67, 772-whie the amount export.
