public. But his iniudicious friend. jealous. per-

The National Intellgencer lately contained long
letter from Mr.. Hudson, a Representative from Mas
sachuse's, 10 Mr. Gentry, of Tennessee in relation
to the increased demand for our breadstufs in Eu-
rope and England. The great aim Of the writer was
to show, that neither orr own low tariff nor the re-
peal OF the British laws has had anything to do
with the of the demand Tor grain and meat
and that Of their price. There is some truth but
more error in his speculations.
Il KNOW says Mr.. Hudson. ''of no period when
there has been such failure of crops in all parts Of
Europe during the past year and hence the gene
ra apprehension Of famine. only in Ireland, but
on the continent. Let any examine these facts,
and he will be at loss to account for the increase
Of prices and the extraordinary demand foe our grain
and meat. TO ascribe these changes to the nodiica-
ton Of the English laws, is TOO ridiculous to be
seriously considered" 49,. $3.50. -.

II will be remarked that the exports of these arti-
cles from the year 1884 to 1910, inclusive for
the most part stationary. BY referring to table
in the report Of the Secretary of the Treasury, De-
cenber 3, 1915, find that such the fact from
the year 1921. The supply export was limited by
the demand, which then circumscribed by the
high duties imposed by the laws of Great Brit

duce the duties, not flour, but pork beef but

reduced TO almost a nominal amount the duties on
