OUR EXPENSIVE OYSTER NAVY.

The future OF the Maryland oyster
Navy is being discussed. The navy
has been supported by the receipts
from oyster licenses but the decrease
of oysters has made the business less
profitable than formerly and the Ii
cense fund is not sufficient to main
tain the institution. 1t is mplactica-
BILE, probably, to increase the charges
for licenses and doubtful whether
such increase would afford re-
venue sufficient to keep the navy
in commission. The receipts from
longing licenses are paid in part
to the oyster counties, for their
public schools. Those counties, natu-
rally, would resent any greater diver
sion of this fund to the State, since
thereby, they would be subjected to
increased tax for their schools. 1t
would only remain, therefore, if the
oyster navy is to be maintained, that
the deficiency shall be made up by
general taxation. To this course the
hill counties Of the State would pro-
badly raise serious and natural OBJ
lection.
This proposition, says the Sun, will
bring up at once the alternative,
namely, for the State to take posses
sion of the beds and lease them or
sufficient portion of them to produce
at least sufficient revenues for their
protection, if no more. 1t is or should
be well understood that the fisheries
of the Chesapeake bay are the prop
erty of the entire State and not of the
water counties. But as long as the
oyster fisheries were no charge upon
thetax-payers the inland counties were
content, mainly for political reasons,
to resign all benefit of the oyster bars
to the adjacent counties. But wheth-
er they will be willing to pay taxes
for the protection of the oysters upon
these conditions is another question,
and if any such proposition comes be-
fore the General Assembly, it may
precipitate movement for leasing
the beds upon such terms as will
make the oyster industry at least
self-supporting.

SECRETARY MORTON RECON-
MENDS DIVERSIFIED CROPS.

Secretary Morton, of the Agricul-
tural Department. in his report, makes
an earnest plea for the diversification
of agricultural products and the widen
ing of foreign exports therefor. He
says: 1--WE want free entrance to all
the countries of the globe which it is
in our power to supply with any pro-
duct the varied soil and climate of this
vast country will enable us to grow at
a profit"
The immense aggregate of imports
of agricultural products, he says, sug-
gests the inquiry, ought not a large
proportion of these to be produced
upon our own soil in proximity to our
own markets where this immense de-
mand exists ''Hides, fruits, nuts,
and Wines" says the Secretary, could
all be produced in this country" so
with considerable share of the fibers,
tobacco, and sugar. Our farmers
would be benefited by large num-
Der of subsidiary crops, the overpro-
duction of certain staples avoided, the
variety of our agricultural supplies in
foreign markets increased, and the
markets themselves multiplied. Amer
lean farmers must produce what the
world wants. That the relation of
supply and demand is the sole regula-
tor of value, that it applies equally to
the products of the farm and of the
factory, fought to be engraved upon
the memory and reflected in the judg-
ment and the plans of every farmer in
the Union"
In conclusion, Secretary Morton
says that there are in the United
States more than G, ZOO, 900 farms upon
which dwell more than 30,00O,0O0 peo-
pie who furnish more than "A per cent.
of the value of exports of this country.
The department is therefore intended
to be charged with responsibility and
duties touching interests intimately
affecting the life, property and happi-
ness of the whole people"

Histories and school books have
overlooked an important episode in
the war of the Revolution, which Mary
landers, at least, should preserve and
cherish. This was the fact that the
first official refusal to comply with
the odious Stamp Act was taken by
the county court of frederick county,
ON November 23d, 1865, when it de-
clared the act null and void. All hon
