trade. rs the fret grows and expands, the others
increase and flourish. Accordingly, while our
exports Of domestic produce amounted during the
last year 70 nearly a million and q half IN value
we have imported and consumed during the sdme
period foreign goods 10 a still larger amount
This represents our and trade. Upon
what general principles is this considerable
amount Of business transacted? As with our
agriculture. 50 with our trade and merchandise,
il Is almost entirely dependent for It's seeming
prosperity upon the credit system, accompanied
bv It, ineyitable follower, interest. The importer
receives hi- cargoes from Europe OF America To
sell On commission u the retailer, who buys on
long credit and pays interest, and sells 10 the con-
sumer, also on credit. The numerous small
traders that swarm the country. are in nine cases
out Of ten, carrying OH an apparently Furnishing
business with no real capital and almost alto
getEer on credit. Owing to the competition
among this class and their eagerness 10 secure
CUSTOMERS, the system of selling upon credit has
become almost universal, and is found everywhere.
To guarantee themselves against the extraordinary
risks n which the system exposes them, ;he I'M
rOrters fret and the retailers in turn are obliged
to advance the price Of their goods to an extraVa-
CANT height, 80 that the consumer has to pay more
by far than he would but for the prevalence Of
the Iernicious system. In fact, as q nation, We
may be said to be in the constant habit of antici-
pating our income. Such a hollow and baseless
condition of business relations is surely liable to
crumble on the occurrence of the first real press
ure.
Let Us not be understood rs arguing against
any and all approaches to a credit system. Where
capital is abundant, and the causes of confidence
are apparent, credit, properly used, has a magical
influence in developing the trade and business Of
a country. But the style of credit system which
We deprecate is that referred to by DR.. johnson
when ne truly observed, that - he who owes more
than he can pay. is often obliged to bride his
creditor to patience by increasing his debt"
We shall revert to this subject again.

advanced by repeated applause. The speaker
showed that reciprocity was the one measure that
we need to give prosperity to all our industries ;
that it was feasible of attainment if earnestly
sought for that the ccssion of Pearl River would
be of great advantage to the United States as a
naval station and would be un~acc0mpanied by any
of the difficulties or disabilities to this country that
had been conjured up by a previous speaker and
that annexation, although it might be one Of the
possibilities of the future and not to be feared or

Allusion was made in eloquent terms to the demo-

throne. and a long. happy, and prosperous reign was
presaged for him. The address was IA finished.

The following paragraph is from q recent work
by the well-known English author, Arthur Helps.
The views expressed are aPpliable to this latitude :;
when government limits itself, as regards the
executive, 10 the maintenance Of order, and 10 the
administration Of justice. it is not likely 10 have q
very strong hold on the affections of the people.
There are persons who theoretically declare that they
desire the least possible Of government interference
in all theft affairs; but when any calamity occurs, or
when any great evil, socially speaking, comes TO the
surface and IS much talked about, these same persons
will be found joining in the cry that government
ought 10 have foreseen this-ought TO look TO that
and in short, all Of a sudden Gotten when il is too
late) they are willing greatly TO extend their views
with regard to the proper functions of government"

the State shall be held on the second
Tuesday of February, that the mem
bers of the Legislature shall be elect
ed and shall meet every two years,
and that each voter shall write hls
name on his ballot in the presence OF
a witness who shall also endorse 1t.
In addition to these sections, which
are Objectionable in themselves, there
are a great many that are well enough
as sections in an act of Assembly, but
are Objectionable as part of the Con-
stitution.
The good work of the Convention
is the adoption of an article on Leg
islation that will entirely prevent all
special or local acts Of Assembly
that authorizes the Governor to veto
any item in the appropriation bill
and confines the appropriation bill
to providing for the ordinary eX-
penses of the State and the support of
the public shoots.
The article on education provides
that not less than one million of dol
lars shall be annually appropriated
to the support of the public schools.
The article on the Judiciary, takes
away from the Supreme Court all but
Judicial powers, increases thenumber
to seven and extends the time to
twenty-one years.
1t also provides that every county
having a population Of thirty thou
sand inhabitants shall be separate
judicial district and in all such
counties abolishes the office of associ-
ate Judge, and it requires the orphans
court to audit the accounts Of exec
utors, administrators, etc, without
expense to the estate.
In my Judgment all else done by
the Convention had better have been
left undone and | will not therefore
undertake to specify what it is. The
chief objection to most of it is, as
before stated, that it is the legitimate
work Of the Legislature. Under nc
circumstances would / consent to
incorporate into the Constitution
what properly belongs to Legislation
except in such matters as concerned
| the powers and duties of the Lcgis.
lature itself. In all other matters
the Legislature is presumed to reflect
the will of the people and in spite OF
all clamor to the contrary l believe
does reflect it fairly and honestly.
The Convention will now com
mence the work of reading the pro
| posed articles a second time. WheI
it viii finally complete its work, there
is at present no data on which tC
form an intelligent opinion. 1t will
certainly take month. 1t may
take three months. 1t IS to he hoped
that time enough will be taken tc
make the work of the Convention as
near perfect rs tins body can make
it. -
