The labor which he has undertaken.
1 The establishments ofan independent 60.
yernnlsn, in America would not only pro.
mote the prosperity of the people, on whom
it is 10 operate, but on the whole civilized
world. From the data which we have al.
ready stated relative 70 the commerce OF
Bueuos. Ayres, the vast exten: OF the south
American trade may be easily copjectured.
This trade would seek new chaonel.--
Instead ofbeng dragged through the store
houses and magazines Of the Havana and
Spain, the exports would pursue that
course, which would be productive OF the
greatest advantage. The flags Of every
carrying nation would be seen flying IN
their harbors. The vessels Of the United
States instead Of plying smuggling ard
conlraband .rade, would lade and unlade
their cargo in the face ofday and under the
very eye Of the governmcnt. The most
profitable commerce which we have carri-
ed on with those colonies, was pursued dur
ing the year 1909, but observe the nlsera.
bic shifts and expedien,s into which some
of our merchants ere driven, at that day,
TO quito sleep the JEALOUSY of the Spanish
dragon. An American vessel visited the
South Sea, under the pretence OF hunting
The whale CT the seal. When it arrived
off he coast Of Lima, nothing was more
easy than 10 damage a few boxes Of goods
or scu.tle the HUI IF the vessel. Ia this
situation shs sput into the port OF Lima an.
der all the appearances OF distress: The
vieeroy granted her the privilege ct repair.
ing her damages, aud Of selling as much
of her cargo as would be sufficient to de-
fray the expenses Of rePara'on. In the
msan sine, the zvhole cargo was smuggled
on shore. Tae Catastrophe of this com.
merce however, was rs her unfortunate.
The compiaisans vicercy was changed. --
Our vessels were detained by his success
or, their Ca goes were conf Gated, and our
merchants were d spoiled of the profits OF
their lucrative commerce. But let an IN.
dependent, government be established a.
moag them, and his contest between plum
der and sub.erfuge will be for ever put to
sleep, and the golden fruit of,he Hespe.
rides will be within he reach of every visit.

All kinds of Cram contained in straw, stem

been. found on fair trialte answer compietcly
the purpose for which it was intended FAR
smers now have it in ther power to get out
their grain with expedition, free OF dirt, whise
CAPS. or loss. This machine is constructed on
entire new principles; Its operation IS by haiis
encircled by a cylender moved upon illcuon
wheels, and can be regulated atpieasure, TO
thresh the grain more orless, as the damPhess'
'dryness, or particular kinds OF gram may re-
quire it. ItwilI be found upon examining tire
principles on which this machine is construct
ed that it will be the fault Of the possessor II
any grain passes unthreshed; 1t separates
the grain from the straw and CHAT, as II
thrcshes also the chaf from the straw; the
construction by no means compncated--not
liable to get out of order, and not expensive to
erect. Ithas been foundry fair experiment the
power of four small mules or two goot horses,
are sufficient TO thresh and clean one hundred
bushels per day with great ease. Those OH ex-
tensive farms who wish more grain threshcd
per day may obtain any quantity they wish by
making the machine larger aid applying more
power. If farmers only knew the excessive
IS they sustain in getting out their grain III
the mode heretofore used.-- Nothing more
would be necessary to bring my machine into
general use. Those who have small streams
ON their farms viii find they may set the ma
chine going by water at small expense by a
