same period, run as follows:

The general average Of the foregoing prices is
81 25, being 81 cents more than the average per
bushel at the aforementioned ports in Europe
Now this table clearly demonstrates the fact,
that in the first cost of grain, we cannot compete
with the wheat growers Of the countries above
named; and our disadvantages will appear still
greater, five compare the relative distances from
London TO the different wheat markets above
named. For instance, Dantzic, which supplies
the best and greatest portion OF foreign wheat, is
1900 miles from London, Hamburg 500. Amstcr.
dam 400, Antwerp 900, Odessa $500, while New
York is 5000, Philadelphia $500 and baltimore
1000. The freight per bushel te England. ac-
cording to the list of prices published by the
Gazette, is as follows From Dantzic l2 cts,
from Hamburg 10 cts, from Antwerp cts, from
Odessa so cts, and from New York % cts, which
is too low
Here then we have facts and figures, showing
that, for the space off years, wheat in Northern
Europe and the Black Sea has been selling on an
average, 81 cts per bushel less than wheat in the
United States, while the difference in freight has
been from 10 TO Is cts. against us, making diff
ference Of ~ cts. per bushei against American
wheat. l-f ..t
Bnt we have further authorities, if any were
necessary, Mccullough, in his commercial Die
iionary, (vol, I, page 5i0) awork Of the very
highest authority in this country and Europe
afier giving history of the grain trade Of the
whole commercial world, enters into a minute
calculation Of the cost of delivering cargo Of
wheat from Dantric to London, and makes the
cost at London iis i'd per quarter, of bushels,
or 81 80 per bushel, and the cost Of a cargo from
the United States from so. TO 52s. per quarter,
or from 81 so TO 81 Sc per bushel, difference Of
IL TO 80 cents. per bushe in favor Of the foreign
ar rticle.
Speaking of the American corn trade, he says,
(vol. !, page 5i5 j

The Cazrtie--.thr Tariff, and The Fowirn
Grain Trade III E

~ In our paper OF the 18th inst we made
short and hasiy reply TO the long and iaborc' ar
enmen's Of the Sunhnry Gazette in which it
vainly cndcavcrcd to prove the fact that wheat
from the Ealiir could mot hc imported in Great
Britain cheaper than from the country, and ~
tempted 10 show by tables Of rIiccs, that wheat
ot s in New York could he delivered in England
cheaper than the whca's fiom the patic The
absurdiy ol this proposition was so sclfevidcnt,
that we hardly deemed an answer necessary |,
is well known that there is hut little ir any l~t.
Ter whcut IN the world than ours, and if it can
be sent 10 England cheaper, OF as chcap as the
wheat from the potis of ihcEaltic and Black Sea-
why is il that Europe has heretofore, as is shown
by an article in another column imported almost
% bushels from these ports 10 where she has Ia.
ken one bushel from us? And how will the re-.
peal Of the English corn laws mend the matte. +,
Her ports are not opened TO our wheat alone. bu,
grain from all countries is admitted on equal
terms and if Paltic and other wheat could then
command the English market, in preference TO
our own, why can il not do SO now? Arc not
these facts for they are facts that no one can
contradicD sufficient TO prove the falacy and alb.
surdity of the statements Of the Gazette, But
as the writer Of the article in the Gazette counts
largely upon his array of figures. we shall furnish,
in reply, some facts as well rs figures, from
authentic records, that will at once show the fal.
lacy Of his statements. The quibbIing of the Ga.
ze'te about our exports TO Europe. instead Of all
foreign ports, an error that did not affect the main
question. elbows The difficulty of its position.
while we were not q little amused at its innocent
simplicity, in its attempt to teach US lessons in
geography.
We have already shown that the fact that we
did not supply Great Britain with more than one
| out Of every twenty bushels of wheat she impor.
| ted, was Of itself conclusive evidence that she
could get ii cheaper from other sources. But
let us, in addition, compare the average price Of
! wheat for number of years, in the principal
marts of trade on the continent Of Europe, with
those Of our own seaports, during the same re-
riod. This We can do by reference TO the fol
lowing table, furnished by correspondent ofthe
Philadelphia Chronicle, prepared from "Parla.
mentary Reports" showing the prices Of whea,
per bushel at the different markets of the wheat
trade on the ntnent, from 1880 TO lSI3, inclu.

-U3- We owe our readers an apology for taking
up so much space in onr discussion with the Ga.
zettc, in refuting the absurd idea that our wheat
could be introduced into England cheaper than
wheat from the Baltic, We hardly supposed that
there could be any doubt on the subject among
intelligent persons, and therefore, in our former
reply. to cut the matter short, referred 10 Lo:d
Ashburton's statement in February last, and what
is well known TO ALL conversant on this subject,
that nine.tenths Of the wheat imported into
England comes from the Baltic and European
ports. The Gazette, to get out Of this difficulty,
argued that Lord Ashburton referred TO the i'm.
ports at that moment. This is not true, and we
hardly need say that Lord Ashburton would not
make himself so ridiculous as to base his argu.
ments on the foreign grain trade on the imports
of single month or year, as the Gazette has
DONE The facts stated in our reply this week
must appear inclusive to every sane mind.
