urally our greatest concumers are like

Senator Blaine delivered a brief ad-
dress recently at the Minneapolis State
Fair. lie said that the farmers of the
republic will control its destiny, and
the Government is gradually passing in
to the hands of the agriculturists of the
Mississippi Valley. This is unquestion-
ably true. And what does 1t forecast ?
The abolition Of protective duties, the
greater freedom of trade, and the build
ing up of our depressed shipping interest
The policy of the farmers of this country
is a wide market-the whole world. Any
one of several of our States can supply
in bread-stutis the whole of the present
foreign export. The chief direct way OF
increasing this demand is to relieve the
foreign eXchangable commodities for this
produce from the tax now imposed upor
them, and which, by practically shutting
them out as exchangable commodities
naturally limits the export. The West
thus seeing its interest, will be likely to
act in the direction suggested by Mr..
Blaine, as above quoted.-Leiger.
