10 induce such action On the part OF OOH-
press as will prevent the enforcement Of
discriminating laws in u State against
citizens of other States engaged in COM
mereial Pursuits. 1t is Understood that
aDeeieI reference is made TO the law of
the last Maryland Legislature which re-
auired commercial travellers to pay a IL
csnse Of $500, and then put upon them
such restrictions rs amounted almost to
prohibition.
The revolution in Cuba, and the aboli-
ton Of slavery in that island, are likely
To have an imuortant effect upon this
country. The New York World, Of a
late date. ssys RAW Sugars have ad-
yaneed n cent per pound in this mar
ket since Monday, and the present prices
NAV be regarded rs fully two cents high
ar than would be obtained had Cuba re-
mained tranquil. This advance in prices,
with q prospect Of 3 still further advance,
will undoubtedly greatly stimulate the
produetion Of sugar in Louisiana, as well
as in other sugar growing districts OF the
earth and we fortunately nave a liberal
stock on hand for this stage Of the sea-
son. Stocks of "sweets" in this cOun-
try are probably fully twice as large as
they were one yesr ago. The rise comes
early enough, also, 10 have its etf-ct upon
the production Of maple sugar and sOr-
ghum. The higher cost will likewise
limit consumption. These facts must all
be taken into the account in considering
tie future Of the sugar market. With
the increased home production and the
diminished importation which appear TO
be ia prospect, the Federal treasury will
lose largely from a corresponding falling
off in the duties on imports, and it be-
comes a practical question of present in
t%erest, whether a reduction in the tariff
on Sugar is not necessary to prevent 8
total loss Of revenue therefrom, and s
serious burden upon the people, to the
advantage of spectators only"
