itirs produced here, Mr.. Kelly invited the
presidents attention to the fact that In pugh
he duti, on sugar when reduced to al yAlo-
rem standards were never so high rs nov, TN"
price of sugar was never SO low in the country
as now. The progress or sugar making IN
Louisiana slucc 1861 might be cited as al IL
lustralon Of the vitslizing influence Of pro
