Great Brilain it is now a question of
cheap transportation if she would keep - her .
trade with the distant patts of the world.
The rissociatioti, therefore, urge upon"
the United States goyernment the repeal
of all wits that restrict navigation, as
;yell as the exemption of ships from tax
ation, as the true policy to be pursued.
at this time. •
England's immense:advantages in the
markets of the world at this time is at
tributed to her marine policy and the
thorough ,organization of. her - consular
system, which is conducted upon a much
better •prieciple thad•our own. Mr. At
kinson claims that our proximity to the
cot / ton fields ought to compensate for the
present advantages . of. Eegland, and put
us on nearly an equal footing. He says
that in Asia, Africa and-,South America
there are from . fi ve . to eight hundred mil
lions of people whose clothing isalmest
wholly of cotton cloth. It is now pro
duced by hard work alone. Four hun
dred- millions of - people, consuming `
the. rate of:. five pounds of cotton per.
head, would call for 4,000,000 more bales
front our 3outhern States and 4,000,000
more cotton, spindles ,` ham America or
Europe to work them up. The Chinese
Empire is of itself to contain that num
ber of souls, and machine made' fabrics
have but slightly displaced, as yet those
produced by hand. Except, India iihe is
how the !argest buyer of 'Cotton goode.'—
At present,,Only one personin 17 in chi
na has been served .with .machine n made
goods at the rate eEfive pounds each a
year.: Under the new treaty with-China
-there•are' four ports', two of which are
farin the interior, 'which . ;h4e l . been re.
cently opened to foreign coiumerce, and
the control of the river eavigation by
steamers has passed 'into the 'hands of
the Chinese merchants. There is• every
prospect that; we may greatly
_enlarge our
trade with China by exchanging teas
and silks. Our imerican cotton goods
are greatly . esieemed in China for their
superior quality,. and are used in great
variety. What we realy need moat at
this time.are superior facilities ,for trans
porting our'gnods to foreign_marketi.
all 'things :else we' have equal, if
perior advantages, - compared with Great

What the cost of manufacture -his here- -
iofore been: But in order to bring a

other phase of the business which should
receive Lae ,early. - and earnest attention
of those engaged in their manufacture.
If they. have the power and will , anis
break up some , of the abuses which e;
n
cumber the selling of sewing machines,
they , can still further meth* priees : and'
confer a benefit upon the community.—
One of ,the' most vicious of theie abuses
is-the system of letuipg: mmAipti f -bow

a correctitm of-the evils which grow out

DO good reason why , their htisinesi„ 'al-'

Where the accidenthccurred the road was
