Jligfi I'remium.? \\ e learn | p0J from the Columbus Enquirer that the Legisla- : pC( lure of Georgia, at its last session, passed an i act offering a premium of 30 cents for every j pound of cocoons raised in the State and 10 jJa cents for every pound of reeled silk for the next 0 ' ten years. It requires 10 pounds of cocoons ur to make one pound of reeled silk; the prcmi. j rc urn on silk when reeled is, therefore, ?5,10 per j no pound. The entire cost of raising and reeling ; of is estimated !>y experienced and respectable J B: culturists in the Northern States at only ?2 : per pound. The premium offered in Georgia,! according to this estimate, amounts to more | * 0 n than 150 per cent over and above the cost; in j addition to which reeled siik commands, at j present in tire market from 5 to 7 dollars per j pound, according to quality and reeling. Every two dollars judiciously laid out in the silk culture in Georgia wiil, then, whilst present pri- J n c ccs continue, yield a clear profit cf from 8 to 10 dollars. This is most extravagant; yet j. " ir !.? VVfiiLt tl-A oilif rulfrrf* is so verv ! *v ? " ? aJ] profitable is it any matter of wonder that the , m 1^1, rage for Morns Muliicaulis is so great ? The . premium in Georgia is too high- Ifcontinu. 111 ?r ed, cv< ry other branch of agriculture would * \e-y toon be given up for silk, and the tax to ptiy the premium would be so high that other ca kinds of labor could not bear it. The premium . will doubtless be reduced by the next or some j , ? be subsequent tcsdor. of the Legislature. This j m:ght be considered by sonic a violation of j good faith on the part of the State. And so j it would be towards thc .c who may have com- ; meuced the silk culture in the State before j Pr the reduction takes place. In regard to them C; it would be a breach of that clause of the , Fedora! Constitution which forbids the pas. j sage of a law by any State violating tlie obli- [ fi'gatiori of contracts. Cut, yet, so far as we ; lai can see, they would have no remedy.
