CHARLESTON, Jan. 1lth, 1891.
The constitutional limit of time
for the session of the Legislature,
ends February 9th. The time of
the Legislature has been worse
than wasted, and not over half
dozen bills have passed and be-
come laws. The average member
thinks it is his bounden duty to
fritter away his time, while the
Taxpayers are bilked to the tune of
50, 800 a day.
We had intended to say some
thing about the proposed new cleo
ton law, but copy instead, the fol-
lowing from the Kanawha Gazette,
which gives very good idea of
the proposed law;
There is a very voluminous bill
pending In the Senate which pro
poses revision of the entire cleo
ton law of the State from begin
ming to end. 1t is almost an exact
model of the Ohio law. Among
other things it provides for non-
partisan commission and non
partisan board of canyassers. The
commissioners are to be appointed
by the county chairman of each
political party The board of cam
vassers. which is to take the place

A half century of commerce is
good deal better index TO the capacity
of country than Il short period of
two or three years. The free-traders
who are trottIng out figures to snow
that our sales of American manufac-
lures abroad Increased under the Will
son law would do well to look over the
history of the past half century be
fore they go very far into these state
ments. If they do SO they will find
that in the quarter of IL century of
low tariff the balance of trade was al
most constantly against the United
States, while i'll the quarter of Il CEN
tury OF protective tariff the balance
of trade was in our favor. In the
twenty-five years since 1872 there
have been but five years in which our
exports did not exceed our imports,
while in the twenty-five years pre-
ceding that there were but Two years
| in which the imports were not in eX-
cess of the exports. The excess OF eX-
ports over imports in the last quarter
of Il century WAS about s.. SOC. ZOO, 900,
while the excess of imports over en-
pirts in tie preceding quarter of Il
century OF low tariff Was about 81 HOO

With wheat selling at more than 81
per bushel in New York markets.
where it was only worth Is cents a
year ago. those tables which attempt
ed to show that wheat and silver keep
pace as to their relative value seems
rather absurd now. Especially is this
the case when it is remembered that
silver was worth 65 cents an ounce in
New York on August LIST of last year.
and is now worth 80 cents, one year
later.

That the customs collections since
the new tariff law went into effect
have been very light is, of course, ex-
planned by the fact that the importers
had crowded into the country all the
foreign goods which they could get
in under the low tariff rates of the
Wilson law prior to the enactment of
the protective measure now upon the
statute books. Not only did they
scour the world for foreign manufac-
lures, but they ransacked the bonded
warehouses, taking out the bonds on
everything upon which the new law
increased the rates of duty. This is
shown by the recent official figures
given the public at Washington,
which shows that only $4,000, 900
worth of goods remained in the bond
ed warehouses of the country at the
beginning of the month in which the
Dingley law went into effect. COM
pared with more S5O,OOO,O 900 in those

French scientists and explorers have
been discussing the question OF the
restoration of tAe Sahara, and some of
them entertain very hopeful views.
NJ. Largeau THINKS that the whole at
mospheric conditions of the desert can
be changed and universal cultivation
made possible. Others, not so san
guine, despair of the more arid pla-
teaus, but state confidently that in the
depressed portions trees, such as the
tamarisk, acacia, eucalyptus and pop
lar can be grown with success. The
poplar proves to be the tree of all
others most capable of resisting the
influence of the desert. Under the
shelter of the trees all kinds of veg
etables and fruits can be grown.
