Administration papers, in speaking Of the
new tariff, says, "il Is working beautifully" ,"
and attributes TO its operation the present
high price Of bfoads,uils and all kinds ol
provisions. We thought that short crops,
causing scarcity in the market If any
necessary and much used article, always
produced a rise in the price Of il. The
crops have Lcen short throughout Europe,
and the demand increases with increasing
population, for people must eat OF slaWc.
Provisions NE transmitted 10 the needy
countries by persons who have bought up
large quantities on speculation, and the
demand being extensive Ral urgent, high
prices are asked, because they can be
readily obtained, and because the articles
arc really worth more Than when more
abundant. Let no cotton he raised any
where IN the world but in Arkansas and
Louisiana, and you will not find it stopping
at S OF 10 cents per pound. Let Louisiana
raise all the sugar, aud swcelcnod cup

the high price Of provisions is something
