Can any change in such q system benefit

CO, when it reaches the market, must be
stored somewhere, if no. inspected. 1t the
State is to abandon her guardianship over
it, the storage must be provided by private
en,erprise. Will private enterprise content
Itself with no more than enoug b to meet It's

seek investment where no interest is to be

Mary land.
The following If from the Suns account
Of a meeting Of the citizens of Baltimore,
called 10 take into consideration the present
inspection system:
"Mr. Bainbridge remarked that he had
purchased property here with the view OF
erecting Tobacco warehouses thereon, IT the
present ,rammels of The inspection laws
were removed; and made general reference
to the Kentucky Tobacco ,rade-ils dIftl-
cullies and necessities. The bringing OF
Kentucky trade here would make Baltimore
The greatest Tobacco market in the world,
and it only needed The removal of the pre-
sent restrictions to secure H."
do not desire to find fault with Mr..
Bainbridge is gentleman whom re-
specl; but use this declaration OF his views
and purposes TO illustrate the probable con-
dIion of things consequent upon The change
he, with others, is advocating and urging
with so much energy and sagacIty. lie
says he has "purchased property with view
of erecting warehouses thereon, II the pre-
sent ,rammeIs Of inspection are removed"
These ,rammels have shown to be the ne
cessary cos, of storage and the residue OF
debt, more than one-hslf OF which Is PAID.
But if these ''trammels" are removed there
must still be ararehouees, Whanfva., thee
fore. the State shall remove her trammels,
commerce must wrlhe under those Of Mr.
Bainhridge.
Tobacco. according 10 his own view,
must still be s,ored-,here must still be Id
borers to store, it, and men to take charge
of the houses. Are oil these thlngs TO be
done free of cost Can they be done cheap
er than the State does them, apar. from the
doubtful security TO ell parties If The mailer
was in other hands: They cannot; and
if promises to The contrary are made, they
are designed to accomplish purpose at the
expense Of Disappointing The hopes they
excite. If precisely the same things mns'
be done ct greater cos, aler The repeal OF
