IL this respect. | desire to reiterate the recon-
mendatiOn contained III my last two annual mes
sages, in favor Of imposing specific. instead of al

these can properly be apl!lec. From long obser-
walton anG eA perIenCe, am convinced that SPECIFIC
duties necessary. both 10 protect the revenue,
AM 10 secure To mGLj:iac tuning interest that
amount of incidental encouragement which
avo!dab!y results from revenue tariff. As alb
stact proposition, 1t may be admitted that adj
vaiOrem duties would in theory. be the most Just
and equal but If the experience Of this and Of all
other commercial nations HIS dem onstTated that
such duties cannot be asked and collected without
great frauds upon the revenue. then II Is the part
Of wisdom To resort TO specific duties. Indeed
from the very nature of al valoiem duty this
must be tie result under it. The inevitable con
sequence Is that foreign goods will be entered at
less than their true value. The Treasury will
therefore lose the duty on the difference between
their real and fictitious value, and TO this extent
we are deirauded. The temptations which ad
val"rcm duties present 10 a dishonest importer are
irresistible Ills object i TO pass his goods

alton necessary 10 save them from cOufiScatIOn. In
this he too often succeeds spite of vigilance of
tie revenue officers. Hence the resort to false in

tom house; and to other eNpcdients to defraud the
government. The honest importer produces his
invoice 10 the collector, stating the actual price at

very large proportion of the foreign manufacture

dent, grown on his form near Glencoe. The
corn should be planted as early in May as
possible. A friend of bis plants even before
the frost ceases, or before the ground is dry
land always had good crop. As regards
the comparative merits of dent and flint,
there is scarcely weeks difference in ripen-
ing. The dent did best-it yielded about
IS bushels on an average, and the flint IS.

COUNTY BoARD.-This body keeps up its
character to the "bitter end" Last Satur-
day it met at ten o'clock in the morning, for
the purpose of electing County Surveyor,
in place of the gentleman elected last fall,
by the people, but who has not qualified. In
order to go into the election, it was necessa-
ry to suspend one Of the rules. Accordingly
a motion was made, which was decided to
have been carrid by the President, when the
gentleman from Rose Mr.. D. A. j. Baker,
in order to convince the lobby that he was
not improperly placed on the Committee on
rural eloquence, rose and appealed from the
decision of the chair and occupied the
floor nearly all the afternoon, in order to
kill time. He gave full history of the
reign of Julius Caesar, the campaigns of Ma.
poleon, and the American revolution. In
this way the whole day was spent, the Pres.
ident deciding every motion for ending the
farce out of order, and finally the Board ad.
journed for want ola quorum. And this is the
way the taxpayers are humbugged and
swindled. Let the people remember that
on the first Tuesday Of April they will re.
turn to the Commissioner system, and also
see to it that the Commissioners chosen are
men who will not disgrace their positions.
