The above general order is of much Importance 10
California, that shall continue its publication several
times, that none may fail to see it..
So far California is concerned, it would greatly ad

nations. She must for years 10 come, live by commerce
and agriculture neither of which flourish under re-

During Mexican rule in this country, the people paid
no TAXES for the support OF governnent-not farh

paid How! by taxation No! They were paid. or
rather paid themselves by duties (TARIFF) the mporta
ton OF foreign goods; and all goods were foreign for

on the coast had to pay an enormous duty. How did
they themselves have these moneys returned TO

merchants TO about one-ha and many articles to
less than half, while beef -four potatoes and fact all
the products of the country have held their own, and
some Increased greatly IN price Leave ports free for
