of pies been drawn from the ample oven,

And that, whenever the price OF flour,
made up and published in the manner re-
CURED by law, shall exceed 81 %. there
shall then be an invariable duty OF fifty
six cents per barrel.
This ratio of duty is TO obtain until
February lS49. when the duty will be-
come merely nominal. Ii will be obsery-
ed, then. that a, the present price Of -four
in England, the duty under the proposed
reduction would be about one dollar and
twenty five cents. instead OF three dollars;
that, as the prices rise, the duty would
fall much more rapidly than i, now does,
and that while by The law, as /, now
stands, the duty on a quarter or eight
bushels Of wheat. when the price Is fifty
three shillings. would be about seventeen
shillings;by the proposed alteration II will
only be four shilings, or about eighty.
eight cents.
Ii certainly appears, upon view OF
these facts. as if the proposed reduction
of the rate of duties upon wheat and Hour
would be favorable to our interests as pro
ducers. And if these were The only facts
necessary to be considered the conclusion
would be a reasonable one; bu, appre-
bend that many other things must be TAX
en- into the account, and some of which l
venture 10 suggest.
Let VS. inquire, in the first place, as to
the nature and extent of The demand for
wheat and -four in Great Britain. The
estimated annual consumption of Great
Britain may be stated al one hundred and
twenty eight millions of bushels OF wheat,
Of which, one hundred and fourteen mill.
ions may be safely stated to be produced
at home, leaving, on the average, for any
| given number of years. certainly less than
| fourteen millions of bushels to be supplied
by importation. In lS43. for instance,
the amount imported was about twenty
three millions Of bushels; bu, that was
nearly double the importation of 1881
Ii must be observed, also, lha, compar
| ison of imports for any period Of ten years
will show an increase of consumption
over average production, keeping pace ne
doubt, with the increased number Of per-
sons engaging in manufacturing pursuits,
and the rapid advance Of the mannfac,ur-
ing districts in England; but i, mus, also
be remembered, that of the twenty three
millions of bushels sent to England in
1874 Prussia and Germany alone furnish
ed over fourteen millions; and that. even
in 1914. the whole expor, Of the United
States did not much exceed seven millions
of bushels; and that. so far from contribu.
ting to the supply &c Great Britain, in any
great quantity, we sen, in that year $780,

The way the Southern Chivalry whip in and

among our young men; and yet it is nothing
new. After the great contest on the admission
of Missouri into the Union with slaves, the cele-
braled John Randolph, in a speech in the House
OF Representatives, exulting in the success of the
Slaveocracy in that case, said:
"We do not govern them (the people of the
North) by our black laws, but by their own
white slaves. We know what we are doing
We oflhe South are always united from the Ohio
to Florida, and we can always unite: but you OF
