The message OF President Benson ~ very much In

serving care and direction of the Almighty, and then
proceeds treat OF the domestic aud foreign ahars OF
the iberan Republic in their due order The revenue

% COO above The receipts. This sli,WO was. during
the year reduced to 81 600 which We hope to be- able

President Benson ccoomends the appropriation of a
few hundred dollars to assist in defrayng the expense
Of National Fair TO be held m the Government square
AT MCnroyia for the encouragement OF agriculture,
manufacture and commerce. Ii IA apparent from tho
following extract that he thinks great deal may Dc
done especially IN regard e. cotton
1t is an unqiesiiOnabe fact that Interior tribes
manufacture hundreds Of thousands OF domestic cloths
annually which must consume several million pounds
OF raw cotton thousands of these cloths through much
difficulty find their ~sy down to the seaboard anuu,
ally but # the communication was kept open, and
they could be assured OF saD transit, and were en-
cOuIaged BY dtcrset and influential agents 10 increased
guilty alton of that usefn article. in very low years
millions Of pounds would be brought down annually
and exported a'eo would other valuable commodi-
ties find their way down. Gentlemen, you VII per
haps. pardon tor being sQsaDgutne and apparently
enthusiastic this subject, When morn you that
Csn well RENE mber when not n thousand gallons OF
palm oil were 10 be- bought annually on the entire line
OF coast 400 mIe- betweeu Nhebhr and Cape Palmas
hut by Il has long since increased 20
annual expectation Of million Cf gallons. Equally
i'd has been the lncreae of tue ground nut trade by
encouragement within few years At Sierra Leone;
and il IL Uol known that the natives OF the interior
are industrious Dgeni Ju. intelligent and friendly
than the seaboard tnbes.
