REMARKS.

The continued rains have made the roads
so nearly impossible that the receipts of
country produce have not been as great as
usual for the season. Prices for both flour
and grain are firm, and are well main
tanned, though there is no important
change to note.

INTERESTS OF THIS DISTRICT

than any other, for the following reasons
The manufacturer of ardent spirits, and
the merchants, by their energy and enter
prise, have made this the best market for
produce in the country. The farmers sell
annually $4,000 worth of grain to the dis
tillers at prices ranging from 5 to Is cents
per bnshel more than we can command at
any other place in OF outside the State
The merchants pay higher prices for grain
than the farmer can get in Richmond or
Baltimore. They are enabled to pay
these prices, because they buy in large
quantities, and ship by the carl ;ad at re-
duced freights of nearly so per cent, and
their profits are hardly ever more, and fire.
quently less. than the amount of freight
saved between large and small shipments.
They frequently buy flour and sell it at a
profit of ten cents per barrel. Under the
present tax bill they will have to pay the
State to 5 cents on every barrel, and ont
of the remaining profit is to be paid
house rent, clerk hire, and the expenses
of handling the grain, to say nothing
of the hazards of trade. Thus it is clearly
apparent, that it will be utterly impos-
sible for them to live under the existing
tax bill, and the
RUIN THAT WILL OvERTAKE THEM MUST
CARRY DOWN THE FARMER
along with them. One half of the distil-
leries will be shut up and the other half
will have to deduct the tax from the price
of grain, which will cause the farmer to
lose six or seven cents per bushel.
Question. this tax result in the
paying the per cent.
Judge CT do not believe that it will.
believe that it will result in dissatisfying
and demoralizing the best tax paying peo
pie in the State; that it will drive capital
and our most enterprising men to other
localities; that it will compel those that re-
