ance and Russia are thus given:

TIE quantity produced in European Russia alone
would thus appear to be al least thrice as great as
in France, and yet the value is not even one half
greater, the agricultural product of tie latter
being valued at more than thousand mil
lions OF dollars while that of the latter is
put at fifteen hundred millions. This diff
erence results from the fact that the products
of Russa are distant from market, while those
Of France are near to it, For that reason il is that
while in the former the average price of the cereals
j. put at $40 in the latter they are put at 3.50-
that while garden produce is estimated in the one
at nearly l20 rOubes in the other it is at only -
that fax and hemp estimated in France at
roubles and in Russia at only .; aud that the
produce Of meadows in the former is put at 80, and
in the latter at but &. The cause Of all these
differences is to be found in the enormous waste
resulting from the absence OF domestic markets,
such as are enjoyed by tie lands and people
of France, and il was with view to stop this
waste and to relieve the Russian farmer from that
immense taxation, that the protective system was
established.
That this result has already been in par; attained
is shown by the fact that from 1924 TO lo5i there
has been steady increase of prices, notwithstand-
ing the vast augmentation in the quantity pro-
duced From 1924 to 1888 the average of wheat
was 4.34 roubles per tchetwsrt and of rye 3.3 rOu-

Of The harska! on a criminal charge
We are perfectly willing TO rest upon these two
doeuments-he opinion of the Attorney General
and the extract we have given fron the report Of
the Investigating Commi.tee-the question OF the
conduct Of Mr. Clifford in this Sims affair, and
whether or not We were right in characterizing it
a. that Of - trimmer" and sneak"
M Attorney Clifford says in his opinion:
"t cannot be maintained and would not, think,
be Iretended that if the party was held IN custo1y py
tie IDited States Marshal upon merely clVli prv-
cess charging nm with being q fugitive from aoVr

issued by competent authority, and 1e TtT''red oHt o.
the Stotc without answering 10 the charge OF having
committed Ofense against the laws OF the CON
Inonwoa!th.'
Such was Mr. ClFords opinion under his own
Land, and yet within three or four days after il was
delivered, Mr.. Clifford being still Attorney General
and as such having an oversight over all prosecu-
tons, Sims uas thus protected from criminal
process issued by competent authority, and rds
Temoted om Of The State without answering to the
charge of having committed an OfIense against the
laws Of the Commonwealth. All which only
shows that laws are Of very little effect when beir
enforcement dtpeIds upon "trimmers and
"sneaks,' or when persons Of that character,
charged with giving legal advice to the officers OF
the Jaw, instead ofloOking with single eye to the
honor AID rights Of the State, are anxious only to
find some preteuse On which the enforcement of
those rights may be avoided.
The Journal Of Commerce, we are glad to see, IN
an elaborate article upon the question of the con-
fict of Jurisdiction at Cincinnati takes distinct
ground in favor of the full right of the State criminal
Jurisdiction to override the claims of the slayeOwn
er. But from the details we have given OF what
happened in Massachusetts in the Sims case, it
is but too evident tLat with "trimmers " and
"snesks in office, the slave-catchers are able TO
override and to trample under foot the clearest
rights Of the States. II is not from any hostility
to Mr. Clifford, but because his timidity and his
trimming spirit led him into course not only dis
graceful to Massachusetts,, but dangerous TO the
rights of all the Free States, that we dwell upon
this affair with so much emphasis.

TO rive the hrures OF the total amount OF mano-
ae,ured articles consumed in lS43 bat ODE slIn
were imported.
The power to maintain commerce with d'staa
communities grew with the power TO MAINTAIN u
,t home From 1924 10 1894 the imports OF tof'
eign merchandise were greater by nearly twenty
per cent Ii sn they had been in the year, from lolf
70 1924. before protection had been established
Those imports consisted TO q large extent, Of the
raw materials of manufacture, in the making up OF
which the people found employment for the TINE
that would otherwise have been wasted, and were
thus enabled 70 afford full return for all the capi-
tai they consumed in the form Of food and clothing
From that time 10 the present the system hss
been steadily pursued and its effects ere visible IN
the constantly improving condition Of the people
and rapidly growing strength Of the Empire, as
viii be shown by the following facts derived chiefly
from the recent work Of Mr.. TegobOrski on the
Productive Forces OF Russia, one Of the farest
and most candid books We remember to have seen.
The quantity of the agricultural produce OF
European Russia is given by him in great detall,
and the value, estimated with q moderation that
leaves no room for question of its accuracy, Is
given at two thousand millions Of rOlble fifteen
hundred millions Of dollars-a large amount "a
compared with the IDEAS generally entertained IN
regard 10 Russian agriculture. This sum, how
ever affords but small idea of the quantity, which
is the material thing as bushe of wheat will feed
q man as well in Russia, where il exchanges for =
small quantity Of silver, as in France, where it
commands much larger one. The comparative
quantities. of the several products annually raised
Of the cattle, sheep and hOrses maintained, and Of
the land in meadow, pasture and forest OF
France and Russia are thus given:

Wheat per Tchctwer'. Rye per Tchetwer

With every step in this direction there has been
diminution in the necessity for seeking foreign
markets as is shown in the fact that while from
ls27 TO 1882 the average export of grain OF all
kinds exceeded three millions of tchetwerts, that
quantity has scarcely been at all exceeded at any
period up to 1850, with the exception of the
famine years between l6i5 aud lo45, when the
high prices of England offered All enormous bounty
on the importation of food. The repeal of the
corn laws, from the moment when the famine and
its effects had passed away, appears to have had
scarcely the slightest effect. The total exports of
wheat and the quantity sent to England are thu.
riven in official documents:
New-York daily tribune., 1856-02-12

Tie whole product of cereals is given at 260,
100000 tchetwerts, or about l6Oo, ,O00, 900 bush
els, and of al this vast qaantity the only item
that can, TO any great extent, bear the charges of
transportation TO distant markets, is wheat; and
yet the total export Of that grain appears on the
average Of five years, to have been under Il 600,
coo, or tess than one per cent Of the total prOdxa
Why this is is 10 be found in the fact dat with the
constant growth OF the domestic markets there has
been steady rise Of price consequent upon the de-
cline in the necessity for going to the distant one
The greater the ability of the people at home TO
consume a commodity the smaller will be the
quantity TO go abroad and yet political economists
like Mr.. Walker, ind the greatest evidence Of
prosperity in the quantity Of exports

or less employed in the fax and hemp manufac-
