Cuba Trade now and as it would be
under Annexation.

The pecuniary benefits that would result to
the people of the West from the annexation OF
the Island of Cuba are admirably illustrated
by the following statement of facts. We will
suppose that an Ohio farmer wishes to exchange
a barrel of -four with the Cuban planter for
sugar one hundred pounds of sugar in Cuba
lis four dallars and fifty cents, and a barrel of
-four on the Mississippi is also four dollars and
fifty cents. Now, to make the exchange, the
Cuban Government comes in and demands ten
dollars tax of the planter on the -four, and the
United States Government demands of the
farmer one dollar and twelve cents tax on the
sugar. Thus the two Governments get eleven
dollars and twelve cents on a transaction of
which the whole value is nine dollars. The
annexation of the island to the United States
would simply destroy that enormous tax which
operates almost as a total prohibition of trade.
What farmer, what sugar consumer, is not in
favor of it -Cincinnat Eng.

speaking of the ferry across the East

swindle the emigrants out Of hundreds
of dollars. l was told by man living
this side of the ferry, that man by the
name of Mills obtained, at some former
period, a charter for ferry at that place
that after running ferry for a short
time he built tollbridge instead, dis
pensing with the ferry that Dallas coun-
ty bought him off, and the bridge there
upon became a public bridge, free to ev-
cry one ; that subsequently, the bridge
washed away, and its place was taken by
the present ferry all which facts would
seem to show that the charter taken out
by Mills had expired or become inopera-
tive in some way. But we were told al

thing was swindle to put money in the

They certainly charge swindling prices,

their rates were, at the time we were
there, 10 cents for each foot passenger,

der foot all the disabilities thrown around
10 Instead of being regarded as a
crime by the church, that institution pro-
nounces it u blessing, and sustains it by
appeal to holy writ. Instead of being
declared localevil, it is now a national
benefit. Instead of being restricted to
prescribed and contracted limits, it now
follows the national flag. Instead of be-

mands the right of protection there. In
stead of it being piracy 10 engage in
bringing slaves from Africa, it is now a
badge of distinction in some of the
states. 1t is thus that the position and
prospects of Slavery have changed-il
is thus that it has advanced. Instead OF
being upon the defensive, it now assumes
the aggressive-instead of being pro-
scribed, it is now the tyrant
Is it not time, then, to make an efiori
against it? Throughout the period OF
Its progress, no organization has existed
of which it has really had any dread. Ii
did not strengthen itself because it was
attacked, but simply because it was anx-
ious for control. Silence on the part OF
the friends of free labor and of natural
rights could not have produced any 9th
er result, but was rather its cause. 1t is
necessary, now, to oppose its further en-
croachment upon the domain of free la
Dor, to which it is in direct antagonism
and this the republican party purposes to
do. 1t has been through the agency OF
the democratic party that it has reached
Its present threatening position, and BY
the triumph Of that party it expects to
advance farther. A late lumber of the
official organ Of that party, the Coastitu-
ton, denies the right of the people Of
a territory to prohibit slavery therein,
and says it must be protected there Thus
slave code for the territories is fore
Swallowed, and only the triumph of the
Republican party can prevent it. That
party Is necessary to stop this aggres,
slon-lt IS necessary to sustain the as
cendancyr of free labor-and instead OF
being, as we often hear northern demo
Gratis asserting. aggressive, it is battling
on the defensive. Every man who wishes
well to the cause of free labor, should
so with it.
