Indian Corn i'm Europe.

Many suppose because so much has been said
lately of Indian corn that it is an article of food
just introduced into Europe, and that we shall
have the entire monopoly of the trade to supply
the demand in that quarter That we shall secure
large portion of the trade we have no doubt
But the United States is not the only corn-grow-
ing country in the world, if McCulloch can be re
lied upon. BY referring to his work it will be
seen that Indian corn has been grown in Ireland
for number of years, and quantities of it have
been annually exported to England As far back
as 1927 no less than 1875 quarters were received
from Ireland into the port of Liverpool, and in
1884 the quantity had increased TO 3,O37 quarters,
Some of our commercial writers are of opinion
that we shall have permanent market for corn in
France, but by referring to the same authority we
lind that it is grown extensively in some of the
provinces, and forms leading article of ioet
among certain classes of the population. The
surplus is exported to England, as will be seen by
the following statement, which shows that France
in ordinary times is ahead of US: Bushels
France in 1881 exported I41I44

The Famine at Madeira.

The New Bedford Mercury learns by au.
Ihentic advices from Madeira, received by Rev
that city, that many hundreds Of The inhabitants
of Madeira have already perished by starvation
Flour has sold as high as $27 barrel, but
most of the inhabitants were unable to purchase
at any price.--The Mercury gives the following
extract:
We have had no potatoes for two years, on
account ofihe potato rot. For Gods sake send
US some Indian Corn, or We must all perish
A h,tle rice will be thankfully received. Oh
that we might have portion Of that which the
highly favored Americans throw 10 their ami.

Immense herds of buffaoes have recently
congregated on the frontiers Of Texas, between
the Brazos and the Colarado Several small

Whis statemcnts--vvages of Labor.


We understand that number of the laborers
who voted for Polk and Free Trade, are begin
ming 10 realize the truth of the Wing statements
that without Protection to industry, famine
abroad or failure of crops at home, will al
ways enhance the price of bread sluffs, without
a corresponding advance in the wages of labor
Such will always be the effect under Free
Trade. Protection creates and stimulates la
Dor, consequently when rise in the price OF
Provisions takes place from any cause, cor
responding advance in the price of wages al
ways follows. Itis admitted that some branch
es of business will flourish under The free trade
system when there is an increased foreign dc.
mand for our bread stufis, or for any other i'm
portant article of domestic production, which
causes an influx Of money into the country. but
it rarely, if ever happens that an increased
price of wages follows from such causes. The
creating stimulus afforded by protection alone
can produce that result-MinerS' Journal
