To the Editor Of Tire Tribune


The amount of Corn and Rye distilled in this
atty and vicinity is about 5000 bushels daily
and the amount of proof gallons Of Spirit is
about 10000. Of tbs amount, a very small
part is consumed for drinking. The largest por-
ton is for manufacturing purposes-for White
Lead, Sugar of Lead, Vinegar-for dissoIvipg
Gums, as Alcohol and for various chemical pur.
poses. The consumption of Grain in this way
nearly equals the consumption of Flour in this


;ty, at Eve bushels to the barrel, say we con
;upe ! 200 barrels Of Flour per day. The CON-
merce employed to briDg this Gram Is consider
able. Corn is brought from New Orleans North
Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Penn
syIvania, New Jersey, and the interior of the
State of New Y ork, and from Ohio, through the
Canal. When I see it stated that the farmers
not interested IN supporting the Tariff, wish

and cur Whisky from Ireland, our White Lead
from England, our Vinegar from France, end
