depends upon the return of a Locofoco delegation TO the

IN the leading editorial OF the last Washington Union, a

comparative expectation OF Rye in ls45 and ls46, as a

very statistics upon which il Il. based. We have ourselves
sheady once copied this table as q piece Of interesting
commercial intelligence. We quote it again, however,
for the purpose OF eonfuting the unwaranuable and ridieu.
lous inference drawn from it in favor Of the recent reduc-
ton Of the American tariff. When the New York Express
published the statement, it accompanied 1t with the remark
which the Union finds ii convenient to omit-thai Eat

Rye is annually used for distdlation, there has arisen an

MIR. CLAW OH Adj yaIorem>,

We had intended to notice the simultaneous effort OF the
Enquirer and the Standard TO show that Mr.. Clay's posi-
ZION in regard To the policy OF III valorem duties had not
been fairly represented in the lucid exposition Of ms course
on that subject, recently Iaid before the country by Garrett

if Mr.. Clay was known to be in favor OF the ad vsloren

The explanation given by the Express shows the true
cause Of the demand for this product, and sufficiently eX-
poses the absurdiy Of the Unions assumption thst ii has
grown out Of the impetus given TO the grain market by The
prospect Of a comparatively unrestricted trade! But the
unfounded character of that assumption is still farther
shown by the fact that the export demand commenced
nearly twelve months ago, and that epery bushel ssHt

the tariff Of 1912 is obviously entitled TO the credit OF Igi-
wing this impetus to the grain market-as 1t was last fal!
Of the large demand and high prices for Wheat and Flour,
exceeding greatly those OF the present year! But every
Intelligent man knows that the foreign demand for all these
articles then. as well as now, is ascribablc ereIu'iUeIy to
the failure Of the crops abroad.
Its amusing to witness the eagerness with which every
shipment Of American produce to Europe is chrOnicled
and commented upon in the free trade papers, for the
purpose of inducing the farmers to believe that the TO-
reign rather than the domestic market is really their main
reliance for the consumption OF their surplus products. A
an oiiseit TO these statements, we ask our readers TO eI-
anime the following table, copied from the Boston Shipping
List, showing the receipts Of Flour at that port for the
last two commercial years, ending on the lst VI Septem.

Nearly the whole Of this Flour, in addition to that ship
ped to other Northern pors, was consumed at home for
we learn, from the SAM authentic source, that in lSI4.5
only 100. l7O barrels. and in 1856 only l52, 90s barrels
were shipped from Boston. both "eOastIOise and to foreign
ports - and much the larger portion of It, sent to foreign
ports, was sold in the markets not Of Europe, but Of South
America and the West Indies.
The proximity Of the home market must always render
itmore advantageous to the producer than the foreign
from the fact that, in addition TO the greater certainty of al
ways finding 4 demand for his products at prices fully equsl
TO those he can obtain ia Europe, the "costs and charge"
are necessarily much lower. We are not able, at this mo-.
ment, to give The reader an idea OF the difference in this
respect, on a cargo Of Flour; but we have Just met with
an article in a Cincinnati poper, giving the resul, Of a snip
