Exports of BreadStC1hS from the U.
States.

During the year ending the Isl instant,
there were exported from the United Sta'es
| ,444, $40 barrels Of flour, 1870 barrels of
corn meal, 2,7l2, go bushels Of wheat, and
1,576,749 bushels Of corn-beiug an in
crease of 1892 bushels of wheat, and a
decrease Of 137,062 barrels of -four 3743
barrels Of corn meal, and 792,11l bushels
Of corn.-Balt. Sun.
This, then, is ,he total amount Of wheat
and corn and their products exported from
the United States until tariff framed with
the prolesscd design oI greatly increasing lhe
foreign demand for the agricultural produc"
lions Of this country. 1t amounts 10 about
nine millions bushels wheat. and less than
Two millions bushels corn. Now. in 1850,
the single S,ae Of Ohio produced about
thirty millions bushels wheat, and sxty.four r
millions bushels corn-more Than three
times the whole amount Of wheat, and thir-
.y.,wn times the amount Of corn exported
from the whole county. Bui /, must be re-
membercd that but portion Of this amount
was sen, to Europe, so the amount influenced
by tariff is still less Than that above given.

Such were patriotic, republican sen,.
mems in 1924. They have a wisdom and
practical appearance ,ha. impress them at
once upon the mind. They are just as i'm.
porlant now as they were then.
But we have The evidence still nearer
nome, that in those days The patriots Of the
west took the same view Of this duty Of pro-
lection. In 1928, four years after This lel-
ter Of Gen. JACKSON, the Legislature Of The
State of Ohio, unanimously passed resolu.
ZION sustaining the same doctrine and pro.
claiming The united voice Of this State on a
vital principle, agains. which the enlire Lo-
cofoco party now stands arrayed.
Resolution unanimously adopted by the
Legislature of Ohio in 1898.
"Resolued, Thai in the opinion of this
General Assembly. the present condition Of
the agricultural and manufacturing interests
Of the country depressed BY foreign restric-
tiOn and competition, require aid and encour.
ngemenl from The General Government. and
that they rely upon the wisdom of Congress
TO devise and adopt such measures as may
be efectuaI, TO PROTECT and adpance
The manufacture and protection of WOOL
EN- GOODS, WOOL, IRON. HEMP
AND SPIRITS, distilled from DOMESTIC
material, and, in their opinion, the provis
ions proper Tor this purpose will receive the

"Wc agree that the less the British govern.

people Of the South are in favor Of the peacea
tie removal Of the free negroes of color in their
midst to Liberia, or TO some other remote ard
suitable place. II every such person, both here
and at the North, would emigrate to Africa, il
would be the best for all concerned. But they
do object, and will continue to object, to th,
establishment, on their immediate southern bor-

igrants from the South. Such a colony would
be tit nursery for The rearing Of black soldiers,
to be turned loose upon the Southern States in

B-We have received the following circular
by mail, and take much pleasure in complying
with the request OF giving it insertion, and in
viting public attention to it.
CIRCULAR LETTER,
| To all Associations at The South for the benefit
| Of Seamen, and 10 all other persons interested
IN The Seamea'S cause
| In view of the fact that many churches and
individuals at the South, friendly to the relig-
ious and social Improvement az seamen as a
class, are reluctant TO co cooperate with the Amer
lean Seamen's Friend Society (however desery-
! ing of patronage it may intrin'ically bed and
that, in consequence Of this wide spread feeling,
the seamen's cause at the South has long and
grievously suffered the Port Society OF Charles
ton, s. G., has for many years contemplated the
proprety of consulting other societies, similarly
engaged and experiencing like difficulties, on
the subject Of attempting to unite all friends Of
the cause, from Baltimore to New Orleans, in
Southern Seamen's Friend Society," analogous
to that in the city of New York.
Confident of your agreeing with us, that the
work to be accomplished for seamen, in our
Southern ports, demands wider extension and
more efficient system, and that PEOPLE in the
interior of each of our States will contribute
more heartily to an institution whose seat Of
operations is at the South, beg leave, in the
name Of the Charleston Port Society, and by
their authority, to submit to you the following
enquiries: ......
DO you concur with us in supposing that the
formation of Southern Seamen's Friend Soci.
ETY., to which all societies for the benefit of sea
men, from Baltimore to New Orleans, shall be
invited to become auxiliary, which shall adopt
systpm of operntinns calculated to intarast in
this ealse persons in the interior, as well as on
the coast, which shall originate societies where
they are needed, and strengthen them where they
are feeble, and which shall be capable OF extend
ing its operations indefinitely, as wise Provi.
dence may open the door for usefulness, is nd
visable?
Is it agreeable 10 you that convention of
delegates from all societies for ameliorating the
condition of seamen, existing along our South
ern coast be invited as soon as possible, to meet
at some time and place most convenient, for the
purpose Of adopting the necessary rules and of
appointing the proper officers!
am authorized to suggest to you the city of
Charleston as the place, and the middle of May
next as the time for this convention If this
suggestion does not meet your views, will you
please specify such time and place as may ap.
pear to you more suitable. Should there be TOO
great diversity in the various proposals, to pro-
mote speedy adjustment, are you willing to
invest the executive committee of this Port So.
ciety with discretionary power to arrange the
details?
Please reply at your earliest convenience, adj
dressing, yours very respectfully,
