THE PROSPECT.

What now becomes Of the boasted
great foreign demand for breadsiutis
under low scale of duties on impor-
tations from Europe?
Pending famines' and short crops Of
grain in Europe, the tariff Of 1916 did
not work very injuriously to the great
interests of the country because our
exports exceeded our imports; but row
that Europe has had several full crops.
and a large reported one for 1851, the
state Of things has assumed new as
pect; or, more properly speaking, We
should say old aspect, as We appear to
be falling back on such troublous tires
as we had in 1857. when. the celebrated
break down occurred, which was main
" owing to excessive imports.
1t is now universally conceded That
the products Of the soil are generally
abundant, but, as,far as grain is con-
cerned. there viii be little or no for
eign demand. Prices of cotton, corn.
wheat, flour, &c. are, on an average,
much lower than for many years past;
ana IN the racc OF stringent. deer mo-
ney market, the depressed condition Of
panuiactures Of every description, and
the continued large export Of gold, no
practical man eontemplates an improve
ment in prices; on the contrary, it is
reasonable to expect lower prices es-
pecially for hreadstuas.
1t is we'll Known that the home con-
sumption of cotton has fallen oft during
the last twelve months about one hun
+dred thousand bales, and the iron inte-
rest Of the country is in a deplorablc
condition; to say nothing of losses sus-
.tained by many Of the cotton mills that
continue work.
Ii all the cotton mills, manufactures
generally, and the iron furnaces were
in full operation, with only moderately
rcmunerativc prices, it is palpable there
would be no balance of trade against
Us, and the prices of cotton, wheat.
corn, and indeed almost all the pro-
ducts Of the soil, would be higher, be-
cause there would be much larger guam
titles required for home consumption.
We also solemfify believe that for every
dollar the farmer pays to susfGisi mae
yactufes at hon,e, mot abroad as under
the existing tariff he gets FIVE dollars
additional price for his products. How
easy for any ole to see that if for the
last two years our exports had been
more than our IMPORTS, the present con-
dition of mercantile aif'.irs would not
have been brought upon US BY iEnn ,nse
exports of coin, and that, instead af
sraver financial difficult
ties. the country woald now be eminent
ty prosperous.
ThDash the writer is MT affected By
the tires, as he thinks it wiser to be
idle during a crisis, it is hoped that
Congress will consider it iniispensa-
Bile to do some work before the end of
December, and, BY lessening imports,
arrest the downward tendency of things.
No one desires high duties, but they |
should be moderately protective, and
specific, as far as they can be 50, to put
IN end to frauds tremendous. ID. |

ILLINOIS.

The Legislature of this State assembled and was
organized on Monday last the officers of both
Houses being Democrats. Hon. SIDNEY BREEsE is
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The Message of Governor FRENCH represents
the accrung revenue as more than sufficient to meet
the current demands Of the treasury. The public
debt of the State and the canal debt make the en-
tire debt SIC ,5O9 unsold canal lands are ex-
pected to realize $4,OO0,O00. The Governor
speaks favorably of the compromise measures, and
says that they wiA be faithfully obserued and
obeyed, as the only means Of restoring and pre-
serving harmony, by the people of Illinois.
