CHARLESTON.
THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10,1867.
THE CORN BILL.
We baye an interesting communication on
this subject from a-Triend in the country, but
it is too long"for our columns. The.writer is
very severe on the Legislature. He says,
among other things: "Far better would it have
been to suspend the whole machinery of gov?
ernment, as long as we ire only a State in
name, than to have defeated thc Corn Bill.
For a term during the war we had no couria
nor legislatures, and we heard but little com?
plaint of that state of things."- He then speaks
of the sad condition of the Poor Houses, the
Commissioners having to call on private chari?
ty to eke out a scanty subsistence for the un?
fortunate inmates.
It is a fact that one of the principal causes
that impelled" Governor OBS last fall to call a
special session of the Legislature, was the
scarcity of food in many of the central and
upper districts of the. State. He dwells on
this topic wi th great earnestness in his mes?
sage. The Corn Bill was considered and
passed, and the Commissioner appointed. The
conditions annexed being, however, impracti?
cable, the office was declined, and the matter
remained in abeyance till tho regular session
of the Legislature, when several schemes for
relief were submitted," but all finally defeated.
We hear great complaint in oonsequence from
various sections of the State ; and no wonder,
when we consider that the distress was great
j enough to induce the Governor to convene the
Legislature to devise a measure of relief ; and
when we are further informed, as was ascer?
tained during the session" in Columbia, that
there is a great want of corn in a majority of
the districts, we cannot be surprised at the
interrogatories of our correspondent^ "Where
were tho members from the suffering districts
when the decisive vote'was taken? Some,
perhaps, were too tenacious of their populari?
ty to-vote for the Bill, and I fael confident that
if there were any such, their constituents, ere
this time, have justly condemned such a course,
j and. will not bo likely to return them. Or
have you ever thought that starvation may
?ooh be knocking at the door of some gallant
soldier, who has lost ah- eye or a limb in * the
horrible war from which we have just emerged?
Had you [t. e., the members of the General As?
sembly of South Carolina] - thought BO, you
would prefer the State and her diminished
credit to sink rather than be goaded by such
harrowing reflections."
We say this much in justice to our corres?
pondent and. the large class he represents.
The meinbers of the Legislature doubtless had
their reasons for voting as they did; We have
not conferred with arty of them, but presume
that the explanation of their course of action
mast be sought in the embarrassed condition of
the finance^ tf the State.
PROTECTIONT. FREE TRADE.
The following statement will show the terrible
effect the late war had on American shipping,
that ship-building in the United States has been,
according- ' to the report of the Secretary of tho
Treasury, almost destroyed, and, according to
Northern journals, native commerce is on*the road
to extinguishment. For the last six years the
commerce of the United Stales has fallen behind
that of Great Britain fully fifty per cent, and con?
tinues to recede year by year. The following
statement of the Secretary gives confirmation to
thia assertion and begins to awaken undisguised
alarm: " .
The tonnage of American vessels engaged in the foreign
1 carrying trade which entered United States ports was
lona.
In 1800.^.5,921,205

At th.B rate, cays one of the journals, "we shall,
ere long, cease to be a commercial power of any
I importance."
The foregoing has been published in several
of the journals of the country, both North and
South: The ruin to ship building and the
decay in commerce is erroneously attributed to
the late war, and not as it should be to a high
tariff, excessive and oppressive, unequal, UDjvst?
and odious. Now that eighteen months have
elapsed since the close of the war, and there
has been ample timo for recuperation, -why
Bhould "ship building in thc United States
be nearly destroyed, or native commerce'be on
-the road to extinguishment, so that ere long we
shall cease to bea. commercial power"?
The following, in strong contrast, from a lute
number of the English Mercantile Times, explains
the Beeret,, and Bhould open the eyes of the
people,-the working men and mechanics es?
pecially (of the North, of course), to the ruin?
ous policy of protection. It exhibits the true
and unmistakable causes of British commercial
and naval progress, and.in the opposite policy
of the United States, thc causes of the decay in
ber commerce and shipping.
BTBD'S-BEE VIEW or THE SUCCESS OF FREE TRADE.
Two official papers that have come into our bands
show at a glance some of the most remarkable
points in the increase of our commerce and that of
Franco since the inauguration of a free trade policy
in England in 1812, and the first cautious atop to?
wards such a policy by the treaty with our neigh?
bors in I860. A brief resume of a few of these
results can hardly ail to be interesting to our read?
ers. '
.Tho official value of our total imports (official
values axe, it is well known, mere measures of
Quantities, and useful only for comparison) was
in 1842, ?65,000,000; in 1353, ?123,000,000 ; in 1865,
?181,000,000.
The official value of cur exports was-in 1842,
?113,000,000 ; in 1853, ?242,000,000; in 1865, ?363,
000,000-a threefold increase in lesa than a quarter
of a century.
The real value of our commerce annually bas
only been ascertained since' 1854. Since that
period the increase bas been as follows :-Imports
m 1854, ?152,000,000 ; in 1863, ?249,000,000 ; in 1865,
?271,000 000. Exports in 1854, ?115,000,000; in
1863, ?196,000,000 ; in 1865, ?218,0i)0,l00.
The real or "declared" value of British and Lrish
manufactures exported has risen thus : In 1842,
?47,000,000 ; in 1853, ?99,000,000 ; in 1365, ?165,000,
000-^or fourfold in a quarter of a century.
Within the same period our "tonnage inward
and outward" with cargoes (the measure of our
aggregate trado) hos risen from 7,346,000 in 1842 to
25,000,000 in 1865, and our "registered tonnage"
(our shipping) from 2,999,000 tons to 5,700,000.
Tho consumption of some of our chief articles of
demand bas increased ovon faster. Thus :

Wme (gallons)..;- 4,815,000 C.813.000 12,00U,009
And to crown the whole, while our aggregate
{jcvonuo has risen from ?52,763,000 in 1843?to ?07,
81-..000 in 1865, tho aggregate amount of taaation

THE COMPOSITION OF THIS GUANO IB IDEN?
TICAL WITH PERUVIAN. IT DIFFEBS
ONLY EN" THE PF.OP0ETION8 OF THE

WHILE IT CONTAINS LESS AMMONIA, IT HAS
nearly twice the quantity of Phosphate of Lime,
15 per cent of which Ea immediately Bombie, Ra effects
on Cotton the past season have, in marry instance?, ex?
celled Peruvian Guano. It has in no caee proved tess ac?
tive lathe early growth of the crop. Whee .bought in?
tervenes the crop does not suffer from Its use aa laths
case with Pernvian Guano. By reason of the presence in
it of so large a per cont cf Phosphate of Lime its use im?
proves the soil to an extant that cannot be realized from
Peruvian Guano. ,
