NATIVE WMHs.-Since the establishment
Of our Republic, its citizens have been &C.
sustomed to depend on the European Da.
tions for al their luxuries, and many ol
their staples. So long has this..evil existed
that our people have become addicted to ths
habit Of under rating everything Of our own
production, and over rating everything pro
duced abroad. The consequence is that mil
lions Of gold are annually sent over the wave
which are needed at home, and could just u
we'll be expended here a. not. Never, til
the opening Of the late war did We se'
the evil Of this course 90 clearly, and maxi
such strenuous efforts to discontinue it,
We wish to call the attention Of our read
ers to but one article Of import-that o
wines. The wines Of France and German,
are famed not only in history but in song
We are accustomed, in speaking Of tn
banks Of the Rhine, to bring before our min'
an alluring picture Of vine covered hills
blushing with luscious grapes, and stream
Of wine. Have We not every facility ofpro
ducing ~ good wines a. Europe does? W
think We have Few experiments have beel
made, but these few have been fattsrin,
successes. Nicholas Longworth, Of Cincin
natl, has demonstrated to his countrymel
that there 10 no reason that We should de
pend on Europe for this luxury. And tn
sunny hills Of California have brought fort
wines that soon..will pale the glory Of II
cliffs Of the Rhine. Many Of our merchant
have had the:sagacity to appreciate this fact
and foremost among them is the firm {
Beirdwbscke 4 Miller, Of this city. Thei
collection of native wines is really worth th
attention Of those who deal in the articl,
and is On earnest Of what our uncultivate
hills, north and south, will soon bring fortl
