LIBERIA AND THE COMMERCE OF AFRICA.

! The Independence of LIBERIA has been acknow-
lodged by England, France and Prussia, but is still
neglected by the United States, which ought in
honor to have led the way and been the first to sus
tain the African Republic. Our interest as well
calls for the recognition and to show this we cite
few facts about the commerce of Africa, which is
growing beyond all example afforded in other countries,
while the United States have less of it than they had
in 1916 This increase of trade is almost entirely with
Great Britain the Government Of which has put into
operation line Of steamers since October last which
monthly to Liberia Such line talked about in this
country from the United States and the talk has
produced action elsewhere.
If any palm oil is imported into the United States from
Africa is not shown in the tables of navigation and
for 1851 The imports Of that article into Eng
land alone have been as follows:
In 1927 the quantity 700 tons
lo4I do....... ........l9, l63 ="
1881 do...-............... .......8O, 400 /"
This is but one of the kinds Of vegetable oil which
Africa produce and the present amount Of the export
may well excite attention in this country. The quantity
exceeds by onehaf all the pork packed in Cincinnati if
rate the quantity high 200 900 hogs of $50 lbs
each and it almost equals the pork bacon
and lard from the United States all other countries for
the year 1851, which were as follows:
Observation-Disclosures. 165, 206 barrels
Hams and other bacon ...-1S, or, 1902 pounds.
Lard ,683, 032 pounds
For convenient comparison reduce these quantities
to tons of q 240 pounds each. The result is this:
Pork, in barrels. $50 tons.
Hams and bacon. .-................. S,O47

amined the County Buildings, all Of which
appeared to be sufficient for the County
business, with the exception of the Jail,
which in the opinion Of this Inquest is un-
safe for the safe keeping Of the prisoners,
and unfit for their health and comfort
We have carefully examined the same and
find no way in which it can be altered or
repaired to make it a fit place Of coufne-
ment. We therefore are Of the opinion
that it should be taken away and a new
building erected on the same lot.
