"As for the manufacturers, the Times hinks that their true relief hos in the direction of t reform in the internal rovonuo system rather lian in an increase in customs duties.

For a long ] course of years tho material development of tho country has gono favorably on. Manufactures, agriculture, commerce have alike been fostered and stimulated.
