France; that large amount OF post notes,
which the Bank had loaned to the merchants
of New Y ork, after the great fire OF Decem-
Der, 1885, had been RENTED to Europe, and
became due; that to meet those bills, it was
compelled to ship cotton and tobacco, and
that it was in the market competing with
other spectators in those articles. 1t was
compelled to use those products for remit
lance, as exchange was against the United
States, and specie was not to be had except
at high premium. 1t was cheaper to buy
tobacco for exchange than specie. Hence,
there was larger amount exported and at
better prices.
1t is also known, that in that period, from
| 1884 TO 1912, there was great expansion
of the currency that new banks sprung up
to supply the deficit in the circulation, con-
sequent upon the extinction of the Bank OF
the United States; that suspension by the
banks followed this expansion, and that cot
ton and tobacco afforded the only medium
Of remittance and exchange between this
country and Europe. Hence, the large a.
mount exported and the value of the tobac-
co, the value being affixed at the port Of
shipment, and in the currency which was
depreciated) in which it was purchased
This cause produced larger amount of ex-
ports, under an expanded and deprecated
currency, than would have been under other
circumstances.
| Similar causes continued to operate in
1910, 1871 and 1912. The balance OF
trade was against the country. In the three
V ears, 1899, 40 and al, we exported ST.
761,4 67 of specie more than we imported
and we imported of foreign productions
S59,44l,752, more than was exported
Specie was leaving the country; the banks
suspended, and tobacco aflording the best
and cheapest means of remittance, was ship
ped because specie could not be obtained.

Here is one cause for the larger amount in
value, the larger quantity exported And
let :sTohacco Planter" bear in mind, that
the value is affixed at our ports and not at
the ports where it is received, and that in
the latter series it was in a currency of de-
preciated value; that it was purchased and
exported as the cheapest, and in some cases.
the only medium of remittance and ex-
! change.
But there was vet another cause for the
larger amount in value Of the export of to-
bacco, in the series of years from 1884 to
1912, than from 1924 to 1882 During the
period from 1894 to 1912, there were seve-
raj years that the grain crop of this country
was unusually short, and the grain crop of
Europe very abundant. 1t twill be recolect-
ed that wheat was imported into this coun-
try from Germany and other parts of Eu-
rope. 1t was not only period Of great
agricultural prosperity and abundance in
Europe, but every interest and branch OF
industry was prospecting. Germany was
sending her grain to us, France and Eng
land were sending their beef, wheat and
other agricultural productions, by whole
sale, worked up into fabrics. Their labor
ers were blessed with comforts and luxuries;
and this country had nothing to ship but
cotton and tobacco. Bread was then cheap
in Europe and plenty of it, and not having
that to buy at high prices, more of her po-
pulation could afford to use luxuries could
afford to buy tobacco even at the high prices
it commands in Europe by reason of their
enormous duties upon it, When bread and
he other necessaries of life are cheap and
abundant, more luxuries are used. Men do
not buy luXurles when they need bread. II
one must be dispensed with, bread or tobac-
co, it will be tobacco. Hence another cause
of the larger amount of tobacco shipped in
the series of years from 1884 to lS42.-
Europe was great grainery-a store-house
filled to overlooking with breadstufls-so
much so that wheat was sent to this coun-
try. They could afford to buy our tobac-
co, because they had no bread to buy, but
had it to sell, and we had no money to send
in exchange for wheat and other commodi-
ties and they took tobacco. Tobacco is a
luxury. 1t is particularly SO in England,
France, Russia, Austria and some of the
other European dominions, and under the
high duties levied upon it, is within the
means of but small part of the population
of those countries. | assert that more to-
bacco would be consumed if the duties did
not exceed ten or twenty cents a pound,
Which would then be very far above the
duties levied by our Government upon Eu-
ropean productions, than is now consumed:
and that the planter would receive a better
price; 'that the effect of those onerous du-
ties is to diminish consumption by enhanc-
ing the cost to the consumer" 0Tobacco
Planter" denies the soundness of this opn-
! ion, and this issue between us must be left

Com MU MIC A ITO n {.

To the Editor of the Port Tobacco Times:
have been prevented from replying to
the uncandid notice of my Speech on the
Tobacco Trade, by one who signs himself
"Tobacco Planter | now take the first
momen, that ! am able TO write, to reply to
his views. The opinions of statesmen and
public men belong to the country. and are
proper subjects for structure and anlmadver-
sion. But they should be canvassed with
frankness and fairness. Tobacco Planter"
either misunders,ands my views, or mIsre-
presents them; and contents himself by de-
claring, that the logical deductions from the
statistics and facts stated in the Speech, are
s'lhe perfee. an.ipodes to the conclusions"
In the second paragraph of the ''Notice,' he
says, "The purpose of the Speech is to
prove two things: The first is, that the
heavy revenue duties imposed upon the i'm
pertation of tobacco into the various ports
of Europe, is the cause of the present depres-
sion of the tobacco trade; the second is,
that remedy for this evil is within the reach
of the legislation of Congress, and consists
in the augmentation of duties upon certain
classes of our imports.'' In this he miscon-
ceives both the purpose and the argument
There is o"purpose" or intent to show that
"the augmentation of duties upon our i'm
ports,' or upon any classes of them, would

~ w
system of reciprocal trade; to
ystem, on the part of those govern
\ich have imposed high duties and
upon our tobacco, similar to our
m, and upon fair, equal and reciprocal
Terms. Why has not ''Tobacco Planter"
pointed out another and a better remedy?-
And is he content that we should still sub
init to this system of unequal intercourse,
(which grew out of the situation and necessl-
IS of the country before we were in con-
IN to resist it? Is there any principle OF
6ristian charity, or of national dignity,
Which requires government to submit TO in
Justice in its intercourse with others?
would have this Government TO assert its
rights and to maintain them with frmness,
ladhering strictly to every principle ofjustice,
but never permitting its rights to be trampled
ppon, and to exact the same measure of CT
Witty that it metes out to others.
! The system of Free Trade is very inte-
resting in theory and speculation; but not
that system which ''Tobacco Planter" seems
tosadvocate, viz: to levy low duties by our
Government on European productions, and
to permit the governments of Europe to
levy the highest duties upon ours. | am
& utterly opposed to such a system of Free
& Trade, and the policy which advocate is
Ito break it down; to impose countervailing
duties, and to make them dependent upon
Che continuance of the high duties upon to-
bacco i'm other words-to bring about a
trade, in this staple, upon just and equal
principles, and to have commercial system
which shall be upon reciprocal basis.
The writer follows his declaration, as to
the purposes of the Speech, by the assump-
ton that ''no argument is offered to estab-
4 lish either proposition" The issue between
us, as to the argument, is before the coun-
~, and ] am willing that those who are in
serested in the subject should judge and de-
eide, as to theforc of the argument which
offer in support of my propositions, and
the broad and unsusaned assertions con-
tanned in the "Notice" What are the pro-
positions ]? quote from the Speech:
1.-THE object which, have in view is to show that
the culture of tobacco, and the commerce which a.
rises from it, is among the most important interests
Of the country. That this interest has never re-
ceived any aid OF Protectien FROM the Government
and that, as an Important article of commerce be-
tween this cou1tIy and the different countries Of
q Europe, IL u ected to inordinate and excessive
) duties, such lave never been levied or imposed

THE FAULTS oF CHILDREN.


1t may be well to drop hint against
the folly and impropriety Of making the
habits Of your children The subject Of con-
versation with other people. Nothing
can be more unkind and injucicious. IL
YOU wish your children to reform and inn
prove you must throw a shield around
their character. However foolish they
may have acted, let them see that you ara
anxious to keep open the way for their
return to propriety and respectability.
Many youth has been driven 10
reckless despair, by being upbraided be-
fore strangers with misconduct, which
ought never to have been mentioned or
known beyond his own family. On the
other hand, many a wanderer has been
encouraged to return by observing, in
those most injured by his follies, gener-
al readiness to reinstate him in their favor
and te shield his reputation from the re-
proach of others. 1t is not wise for
mother either to boast OF the excellence or
to publish the faults Of her children, but
rather to ponder them in her heart, t0
mention them only at the throne Of grace,
there to confirm what is right, and cor
rect what is wrong, and in all things to
make plain before her face, the way Of
her own present duty in reference 10
them.
Fathers, mothers, read the sbeve-ars
you convinced that those things are sol
