The Untied isets sollect duties on more than

abnormal diserltmlnatio against the outlet of the

of the customs tariff that make importation lou'
New Orleans a losing business, and have a quiet

reported the fact. to the department-then pre

Bat this state of affairs will probably continue
a long ethe republic lasts. There seems to be
no he for it. All we can do is to grin and bear
it, and make the heat of a bad case.
I eelse, however, to repeat that free trade, In.

It Is astonishing that out commonty take so
little interest in this Important queetion. True,
we are peculiarly sItuated with regard to proteo
tion or free trade. One of our main etaples
sugar-meet. to some extent with a little so
called protection and fostering care, and to that
extent many of our citizens would be Inclined to
beprotectioniste but It would be a short-sighted
policy indeed tfat would saoriflce the great
features of our commeroe and the main chances
of a large import trade to the narrow and
perhaps misunderstood interests of a single
staple. Perhaps the abolition of all im
port duties on sugar would not have
the fatal effect on our local sugar Interests
that short-sighted people would be apt to appre
hend. Free trade has never yet ruined any In.
dtutry that was worth engaging In. but, on the
contrary, has invigorated and benefited it in
every Instance.
