pall Man Gazctte

Reference has already beer made in
this journal Ia the influence which
deficient harvcsts in Germany this year
may exercise III awakening the agraran
party to the delusion of Prince Bis
marck's protectionist policy. There is
another possible consequence, which
will be of still greater importance to
ourselves. Ii is now well known that
the revival Of trade last year was in
duced by the advance of prices in the
United States, which permitted the inn
portation Of British and European goods
IN spite Of the American tariff. That
advance was stimulated by tile large i'm
ports Of gold III part payment for enor-
NOUS quantities Of American grain cN-
ported. The prospects Of good crops
on this side the Atlantic this year has
caused anxiety III the states, NJ it has
been that the American farmers may
be unable to market the large surplus
which they will again have. Deficient
American exports might cause a further
decline of general prices in the states,
and even result in an expectation Of
gold thence, which would have the
effect of still further depressing prices.
and thus removing the condition
which permitted the entry Of our man
ufaetures during the past season. With
deficient crops in Germany and north
western Europe, however, an enlarged
outlet for American grain will be again
provided; and assuming that our own
crops are good. the position will be
particularly favorable for frce-tradc

tiles. We have never yet been able
to do so, and long ago ceased try
ing. II is perhaps well enough that
this is so, but it has struck us that
if the truth were given to the news

the better of. This overland route,
for instance, is getting the reputa,
ton OF being very dangerous one /;
there have been several bad acci-
