THE REASON.

A correspondent Of the National In,elIi-
yencer, speaking of the present financial
embarassmenis, says:
"The primary and main cause for all
this trouble 10 our existing tariff, which Of
fers such encouragement and actual boun-
,y to our people 10 consume foreign produc'
tons; nor viii the evil be permanently cor
rec,ed until we learn 10 buy less abroad and
more nj home" This is the actual cause
Of the financial troubles now existing
During the pas, year not less than $780,
900 900 worth OF foreign goods were i'm.
ported. These goods must DO paid for
partly in cash and partly in our own manu-.

great reptile stranger, since his arrival,
which are worth chronicling. Just before

by him for seven months aiier. Abou, the

making the Pacific Mills model establish

its social and moral effects on The commu

Black, is the absensc Of all color, and
in the creation Of man, as in other

then is the black race entitled to claim
the greatest antiquity. White is the

say what color.
