There is class of men who always looking out

find with the prudence that quickens foresight and reefs

Mexican tariff exceed half million OF dollars; and 1t Is
safe to estimate the annual import of specie from that
country in exchange for exports, at twelve millions.
Heretofore under high and almost pohibory tariff,
have received from Mexico only about half this sum.
