| The crop Of that State now coming
! to market il estimated at only. 10000
and the total crop Of the Union is likely to prove
SO short that u doubtful II the export will reach
| l20, 600 hogsheads.
| We have here most remarkable decrease OF
production, and decrease Of the power to furnish
commodities 70 60 abroad in payment for cloth and
iron followed, Of course, by decrease in the de-
mand for ships; and this, too, occurring simulta-
neousiy with precisely the same circumstances in
relation to cotton; and yet this decrease has taken
place under system which looked 10 the subsfitu-
fion " the ctiUation Of food, tobacco ana cotton
for the making Of cloth and iron.

1t would seem from this quite clear that the pro-
ductiveness Of planting labor far regards the
quantity produced, has greatly decreased notwith-
standing large growth of population.

Cotton, rice, tobacco, and hemp the products of
the planting States, are thus shown to obey pre-
cisely the same law. All under the protective
system, and all have fallen since protection was
withdrawn.
Tho southern States also furnish NAVAL STORES;
and as there has been 80 large diminution in all
other OF the products. we might there, perhaps,
find some compensation

the demand docs not grow with tho product In

In s4s- so tits 5al ,s4a. valued At only i,l4.1is
The export has increased almost thirty per cent,
while the product has increased only six per
To those who would desire to understand why it
Is that production so uniformly increased under
the tariff Of lSaa. it will scarcely be necessary to
say more than this-that the Of its enactment
was the universal ruin which accompanied the
working Of the compromise Of lS33-that from lSa3
to lSa6 the population of the South applied them
selves TO production that in the years which
had followed ISlG. the mania for making new plan
tations and new roads by which to get to them has
sprung up, and is now raging with even greater
force than it did fourteen years since.
