as were those OF our farmers who lent their aid to
the demolition OF the structure raised under the
tariff OF 1912, which SO rapidly making mar

buyer OF cotton and other products of the earth

purchase from food TO the extent of hundreds of
millions OF dollars. How far this anticipation has

Increase in the necessity for depending on Eng

the vast surplus OF our products, and the remedy
nc has applied has consisted, in increasing the
mar ket but IN SO far diminishing the supply that
1t may well be doubted it. after the present
year We shall! export to Europe a single barre! of
pork beef. butter, cheese, although from the
Nlnnnution OF the domestic demand, corn will pro-

ana Inc epcourag ement given by The abolition Of
duties in the States of the Zollverein, have not,
however, produced immediate effect; on the
contrary the dull advices from London this morn
