We have just received from Hon. Ii.
Caprou the monthly report of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture for November and De
cenber, 1867 From it we learn that the
Corn crop Of 1867 amounts to 775, ,s20, ,o00
bushels; and is So, 600, 900 bushels less than
the crop Of 1860; also that the cotton crop
oflS6I is estimated at ?, SAC. 600 bales, or 20
per cent. more than that OF 1866, and less
than half Of that of 1860. The present ex-
tIeme dullness Of the wool growing and
manufacturing interests is shown to be the
result Of excessive importahous Of foreign
woolen goods, in anticipation OF an increase
Of the tariff duties at the close Of the war;
the amount of such importations, during
the year Immediately preceding the enact
ment of the present tariff, was nearly as
great as the total of the six preceding years
The enemies of our American industry are
now trying to make it appear that the pres
ent stagnation is the result of the tariff
whereas the tariff alone las saved this
branch Of our industry from utter annihila-
ton. The case is doubtless the same with
many other branches Of manufacturing in
dustry.
