              <text>Can you tell us, Mr. Editor, where and on what terms we can purchase sugar, molasses and coffee; the proceeds of free labor. I use from two to three barrels of sugar, a barrel of molasses and a bag of coffee in my family per year, and feel unwilling to contribute that little to the support of slavery.&#13;
It is said that the new tariff levies a tax of two cents per pound on foreign sugar for the benefit of the slave-holder. By southern doctrine, we of the free states pay on every pound of sugar we use two cents per pound to help the slave-holder and put off for a little longer the universal bankruptcy of the south.&#13;
Let us hear what you can tell us on this subject.&#13;
FARMER&#13;
&#13;
There is no Free Produce store in Cincinnati but there ought to be one. We have been repeatedly interrogated on this subject. Were such a store established here, we doubt not, it would receive a large patronage, and yield a fine profit to its keeper. We do hope some one will adventure. If any one is so disposed, and has the capital, we can put him on a train, by which he can ascertain what he may calculate upon.&#13;
