The Mexican Treaty.

Our dispatches state that there Is
strong sentiment in the Senate in favor Of
discussing the Mexican commercial trea-
tv in open session. This sentiment Is I'M
doubtedly in harmony with the popular
wish. The treaty promises to lead to very
important results, and the public would
like to know who, among the Senators,
are its opponents, and what the grounds
Of their opposition are. The LOUISIANA
Senators, so far as known. are the principal
directors to it because they think it viii
interfere with the sugar interests OF their
State There has already been considera-
bic discussion of the treaty in the
public prints. which has been chiefly
remarkable for the want OF cor
rect knowledge respecting the capa-
CITY of Mexico for producing the
kind of articles which are to be admitted
into this country under the terms OF the
treaty. Those who are known to be wei
informed respecting Mexican resources
say that Mexico does not now produce
enough sugar for home consumption. II
the sugar industry were stimulated, now
ever. it is probable that she would pro-
duce a great deal more than enough for
her wants. If the treaty were ratified at
once it would be a good many years be-
fore Mexican sugar would come into seri-
Gus competition with Louisiana sugar.
The Louisiana sugar planters have
been striving for several years
to have the Hawaiian treaty
abolished, --nn--the ground that it
rthFeatened to lower the rice of Louisiana
sugar. Asa matter Of fact, however, sugar
admitted free Of duty from the Sandwich
/ Islands has no influence whatever on the
market for Louisiana sugar. Sugar in
4 san Francisco commands a higher price
| than in any other city in the country
But, admitting that in time Mexican
/ sugar would come into competition with
and cheaper Louisiana sugar. is that
sufficient reason for refusing to ratify the
| treaty. provided it can be shown that the en-
tire country outside of the little sugar dis
trict of Louisiana will be benefited by ii
/ If this treaty is ratified it will mark the
beginning of a trade with Mexico which
| will be worth millions of dollars to this
country. Mexico is just starting
on her career of development
and prosperity. The railroads which
! American engineers and capitalists are
building through her territory will dc
more for her material wealth in ten years
than has been accomplished in the last
| hundred years. The trade of Mexico
which now is controlled by England
| France and Germany, will come to this
country. Our manufacturers viii have {
market outside of the home market fol
their goods. Shall a small interest like
that in Louisiana be allowed to be an in
| surmOuntable obstacle to a trade such al
that which this Mexican treaty promises
to open up to this country?

The Drnmmers, Tax AGAIN.

The opposition to the prohlbitOry drum
mers' tax is taking definite shape. A pc
tition, signed by 30 per cent. of the whole
sale and retail dealers in various kinds of
merchandise, has been prepared and will
be presented to the City Council at its
next meeting. Mr.. L. J. Robbins, of this
city, who obtained the signatures, in
forms us that not a half dozen merchants
so far, and he called upon every one
doing business on the streets he can
Vassed, refused to sign, and those who re-
fused were parties who deal with retail
ers and who are afraid that drummers
will undersell them. They do not want
competition IN their business.
The petition hits the nail on the head in
the following extract from it: "If the bust
ness of Savannah is to be maintained and
her trade secured, can it be done without
affording to her people the same privileges
which are enjoyed by the people of
other cities? Ought the policy of
Savannah to be narrow and restricted, or
broad and liberal? Can her merchants
sell to advantage unless they are permit
ted to buy 20 advantage? Drummers
enable the smaller dealers to buy to
the best advantage, and these deal
ers are permitted, from samples
shown them, to know with GER
tainty what they buy. The drummers
keep them informed not only as to prices,
but as to new goods, and form the cheap
est and quickest means Of communication
between the manufacturer or jObber and
the dealer. The most desirable stocks can
thus be kept on hand, and with the use of
less capital"
The most prosperous cities are those
that have no drummer tax. OF course the
large dealer who has his buyer in North
ern and Western markets has no use for
the drummer. He can do without him.
In fact, he would rather pay a $1,000 Ii
cense and keep him out. A prohibitory tax
does very well for the few, but laws should
be made for the benefit of the many. Our
City Council should not let the impOrtu-
mites of a few interested parties outweigh
the will of the people.

Rev. Mr.. Shaw, the missionary to NADIA
gascar who received a nice little sum
from the French Government as compen-
sation for insults offered to him. writes
that the British send missionaries and
Bibles to the people of that island with
one hand, and with the other introduce
10000 barrels of rum annually, which
brushes out the moral and religious life
Of the natives. He says the duty is so low
and the quality of the liquor so poor that
it is retailed at u cents a quart, and fire.
quentIy whole villages, men, women and
children, are in beastly state of intoxi-
cation. Some of our friends who are
elamoring for the adjustment of the in
ternaI revenue tax on liquor might get a
lesson from Mr.. Shaw's testimony.

A Remarkable Calf.

DR.. IT. G. Duggaf, Of Van Dorm Station,
Ala, reports to the Southern CultiUdt0r
the birth on his farm of a lively, healthy
and vigorous heifer calf having five dis
tinct and well developed legs, and two
sets of excretory organs. The frces and
urine passes freely from both sets of or
gans. The fifth leg is situated where the
tail generally is, and the tail is over the
right hip and extends downward and for
ward. The fifth leg is well developed and
has a knee joint and muscular power
above the joint, with three toes instead of
two, and the bone is doubled, seeming to
be a union of two legs. The excretory or
gans are on either side of the fifth leg, the
left set being higher and more on the back
than the right. The right hip, over which
the tail hangs, is lower than the left. The
calf has only two teats. 1t is considered
a remarkable freak of nature.

relative wages of working men in this
country and England. A member Of the
British Parliament, Mr.. Thomas Burt,
has spent some time in the mining dis
tricts of Pennsylvania, investigating the
effects of the protective tariff in all its
phases. He says that if the money wages
of the two countries are considered the
miners of the United States appear to
have the advantage, but if the long hours
of labor, high house rent, ETC., are taken
into consideration, there is but little, if
any difference. The prOtectiOnists will
meet his evidence with the sheer that he
is a member of the Golden Club.
