TII E IMItNEE IJ-rTEItN.
No. 1.
To Horace (Irwbj :
Sauhj : IJy tha kind pcxTuinsion of
tho Editor of Tin: "Would, I Imvo tlitj
privilc'jo to mldrcK.s you in a wrieH of
lcttcrH. I am a Parxeo inerclmnt from
Bombay ; mv race lian over bcftii no
counted tho bcstmcrcliantH ami tradcrH
in India. Tho youngest member of a
tfreat "lirni," with an ardent demro to
brinr trade to my country from tho
most distant landH, I had long nineo
hit upon tho plan of importing into
India thoso products which aro almost
indigenous to tho United States, and
which aro ho well paid for in India.
I often argued with my partners,
ltau.stamjo, Paddebhay & Kssebhay,
thus : "Behold," I said, "we import
during a year from London, for. "00,000
rupees, copper ; for 100,000 rupees,
loud ; for a milium rupees, 8 pound
blurting ; for 500,000 rnpees, No. 40
mule twist, lcsides numerous (jther
nrlicles. I will go to tho land where
these articles must naturally bo the
cheapest that is, tothu United States.
Copper, I said, is found iu that coun
try almost pure ; lead is the jn"oat
product of a great State in tho West ;
tho Jinest cotton is grown iu tho south
of the United States; tho most skillful
machinery and best manipulators are
in the Ka.sterit States. Surely, there
fore, that country must bo -tho cheap
est market to buy those goods." Again
I wiiil : 'Svo! When wo have an or
der to wnd seeds, jute, munjet, and
um, and a hundred other artieles to
the United States, tho order comes
from London, and is paid w ith sterling
exchange. Surely, this is a rouualjout
way. let lae, therefore, go to the
great Bcpuhlic and buy the products
we import from London, which ouht
to le made cheaper iu tho United
htate?;, end pay for them either with
our India products or even with ready
cash. I am certain of success, anil
shall open a direct trade which will le
the envy of alj the Kuiopean mer
chant sahib;;." My partners, some
how, were adverse to my plans ; but
youth and energy will accomplish
much, and here 1 am. I arrived here:
with ample means, eager to do busi
ness. My first effort was k buy JOO
tons of copper inot i- I confesn at
onc e that thi article i equal and even
superior in this cr.r.niry viz., the Bal
timore ntg-its to the tough ingot
; vc: we were in me naoit ox
I :'etti!iLri

n,
i i
MaMuf
in
England ; but to mv ur-
p.ti;et I found the price ho much high-
Icrhere than in EiMdand, that
out of the ipiention tt op rate.
"How," j-uid I, "is this?" to a greet
!coT:'.r .!am: o; ;uis town. voiner
i:u I.....,-. 1.,. ...... :..
I.i Jli.."iu UJJ Vl; i. lUUIUl ill
abundance, and you sin It it here; why
iji it dearer than in England ?"
Well,"fa:d the sahib, pufiingthe
suioke of a cigar iu my face (which, as
a fire worshipper and a Pareo, is re
ligiotihly offensive to me), "suppse it
is ; you cannot impeal it for five cents
a pound more."
"But," saitl I, "I want to rryrt it
to Bombay."
"I gtiCHS," naid tlie copper wihibj
wyou hrjve come to the wrong country,
then. We don't want to export cop
per, and wc take i;ood care that our
tariff won't allow anv to lie imported.
We just want pur own market. Amer-
ka for AinerieanH in our motto.
I was KtatfeTereil at this narrow-mind-1
answer na atlvci-so tn commerce
soul inrtu.strv. "Still, I asked:
"Doe this policy pay?"
-Weli Haiti the sahib,
"I can't
Kar it iiotiH, for I m darwil if trooper
is not two cents a pouna lower now
tlum it was before we got that smart
copper bill passed List February. But,
for all that, I guess it is all right ; we
want our own market and favor. from
no foreigners." ;
In this, my first of n, series of letters
to you, who arc looked upon by the
manufacturers of this coontry as wo
Parsecs look upon our great Zoroaster,
I wish respectfully to point out that
this is a very narrow and stupid one
indeed. "Why should your policy re
strict a number of copper producers
to ileeco their - own countrymen only
and exclusively, when you have ore
enough and can produce enough cop
per to supply us in India, who take
from England at least $20,000,000
worth every year.
I have eagerly waited eleven weeks,
closely, religiously reading your essays,
but cannot find a reason m. them for
this short-sighted policy. Leaving
your powerful mind to ponder on this,
iny first epistle to you, I subscribe my
self yours, always, with great respect,
A. Cukiosibuoy,
Parsce of Apollo street, Bombay.
P. S. You will excuse my observ
ing that a sahib is a lord, and a rupee
is htty cents, gold.

lb Horace Grcchj:
Sahib: Par from discouraged by
not being able to buy, 200 tons of Amer
ican made tough ingot copper for ex
portation to Bombay, I said to myself
there- are hundreds of other articles I
hoya seen just in my rambles in New
York which will sell well in India : I
shal pick up mpre goods than I have
mbntvf to pay'fotttkem.' I had noticed
a very desirable, calico print, which
woulct sell in Bombay by the 100,000
pieces. X soon found " ou,t the, great
factory situated in, Providence. JNoth
ing can ' exceed the politeness, with
which I was received by the great sa
hib of the cotton prints. AYhen .1
asked the price of the goods I found
them to bo about 25 per cent, dearer
in gold than a similar print,, called in
England, bclrwabey s, could be bousrh
for in Manchester. "When I made the
calico sahib aware 'of this fact, he said
Of course 1 know it, but you can-
n l r i n w u 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii t
OCTOBER 9, 18C9.
not import HchwaU-y's prints and lay
Uiem down in New York for tho prico
I f:ell mine."
"But," I said, "I want to buy 20,
000 piece of this print for tho Bombay
market. I know they will noil there
well and supersede thoKnglish prints.
Their style is really better in every ro
fcpeet, yet, in reality and iiitrinally,
not worth morn than Hchwabcy's."
VMy friend," said this great cotton
sahib to ino, "my country has of late
appoaj-ed to mo" Utojiian ; Congress
and the Senate I have always put down
as "Ctonian ; but you aro more Utopian
thatfnll these, if yon carnohere all tho
way from Bombay to buy my goods for
export; firstly, we have our own mar
ket and get more hero for the goods
than wo could abroad, which is, of
course, owing to our protective tariff;
secondly, although wo have cotton
cheaper, machinery better, and lalor
more skillful than in Europe, tUl the
high price for labor and dearness of
money will not let us produce as
cheaply as Europe. If the iron peo
ple were not ho greed v, and wool man
ufacturers ho rapacious, ami all tho
rest of the monopolists ho unreasona
ble, we rniidit reduce the necessaries
of life, liuilding materials, and other
commodities, Ialor could begot cheajv
e, and no doubt we could beat Eng
land in calico prints. All this will
work round. My opinion is unaltera
bly fixed; and I don't mind to tell
you, as an intellige nt stranger, this
country need capital, duutji money,
that's all. Wait until we get as rich
as Emrland. then vou will see. Until
then I see no other rcmedv for us but
the tariff"."
Thus spoke the great cotton sahib,
while I, with a louring eye, once more
looked at the handsome print which
would w 11 so well in India, nn 1 would
g; far toward ennching tin i country
with the very capital the cotton Kahib
ho much craved. And is there really
no other remedy but what the cotton
sahib suggested V Oh Greeley, iihib!
Befleet and weih these matters in
your great olitical, economical mind,
and look for a speedier illation.

would derive from a foreign trade. I
examined the enameled hides with the
eve of a connoisseur, as I thoroughly
understand my business. 2dv eyes
listened and my mouth watered at the
great leauty of these hides, smooth as
a looking-glass, irreproachable in col

order at least 1,000 of them, aud with
hat view 1 asked tho price, stating
hat I was ready to pav cash down.
Tlie leather sahib quoted a- price-which
was 2 per cent, dearer (always ealcu-
ating gold prices) than we coufu buy
them in Europe. My sanguino hopes

with the sahib ; I told him that, as a

ho goods, r would venture to pay 10

ut I would certainly not be warranted
:o pay more advance ' tlmn tlint. The

give me these hides at the manufactur

course, I could do no business.
Surely," said I, this is strange.
You must have a supcriorway of curry

they have m Europe, or else you could
not turn out such nice goods. X am
willing to give you 10 per cent, more
than I -can buy them for m Europe.

being1 skilled, and a good deal done by
clever machinery, we don't mind the

Ague. Mr. Martin, in a pancr read
before the Therapeutic society of France,
states, a proved fact, that the common sun
flower possesses the faculty of freeing the
atmosphere from the animal and vegeta
ble germs supposed to constitute tbe mi
asm productive of fever and ague. He
say the experiment has proved succcss-
ul in the low dist?icts, near Uichefort,
and that the Dutch have proved its valve
in neutralizing the noxious effects of
exhalations. The sunflower has Ion been
appreciated ns a fattener of poultry, and
supplying tood lor bees, etc., and many
people cultivate them chiefly for that
purpose-. But if Mr. Martin's theory be
correct, we expect to see it more largely
cultivated, especially in low-lying dis-
inei, auu me uomciy-iooKing nower will
