LAKE FonEsr, Jan. 1.--Twcrty rcdners hare
rute.l this nation fn rclati0h to sugar. WITH
abundant n,cans at their command thcy hasn
beuu able 10 manipulate Congress to suit their
own &c lissh interests. By lobbying In tho halls
OF legislation they have swaycd our rules to
place llirl, duty on tic better class Of raw
Sugars, ans1 low duty on 4 darker arttvlo. By
this means tho ttglt-cotorca West india sugars
have been driven out Of tle United States
market, md hayo been Rcnt to Cauatta aud
Europc. Tho duties having enhanced the price
Of the better e]nss, thc consumers would not pur-
chase tcm. II, however, they had understood
their value, compared with tho infer'cr sacctar-
jpe properties oi tho coffee sugars, they would
hare continued to give them tho preference.
Consequently, Sugars wcro aont to our market

pear so-tnat they werc unfit for sab1o use; and
Of course al} paBaco into Tho hants Of tho IT.
