commercial and individual revolution now ta

‘profitably support to several of steamships
plying betjreen the Southern Confederacy arid

• “Tb* these considerations may be added the
repeal of all tonnage duties,*thus tlirowingbpan
the coasting trade to foreign shipping, and the
adojrtion of a tariff which, beirig based on free
tra !e principles, is exceedingly modhraty.
“Wh at a, contrast is presented by these, con-;
tlifions, (Compared by those imposed by the
North, whose tariff is*so highly protective that’

from New York the mouqpoly she lias liereto
