they should be published. As they have not been

Item frst--The Montour Iron Co. at Danve
in Pennsy Ivania. have actually reduced their mi

have given notice TO their mill hands that simi.

the Isl of Ocober. at which time the contracts for
iron on hand will be completed.
Item Second.-A concern in Richmond. Va,

WHEAT FROM THE CONTINENT.

We commend the following table to the attention
of the Free Press. The "worn-out shores OF the
Baltic seem to be marveousy prolific if such guam
titles of grain can be exported On the suppostion
that on the continent, each bushe sowed yields but
two rthree," what an immense amount of grain
must every year be scattered on the ground to sub
sist the inhabitants furnish seed for the next year,
and leave so large surplus for expectation.
Farmers, remember the policy which sends you to
the continent and toEngland for your manufactures,
subjects you to the costs Transportation, and to
the COMPOSITION OF THESE MARKETS. The policy
which give HOME MARKET saces the cost of
transportation, by putting it into your pockets and
gives you monopoly of the business of maintaining
those employed in producing your manufactures
Suppose it occupies 100000 men in England and
100000 the Continent, to produce the articles we
annually import; We have nothing to exchange but
the products of our agriculture. England almost
supports her 100000, leaving but small deficiency
to be supplied from abroad; the Continent fully sup
ports the remaining 100000 and completes iciK us in
supplying the deficiency in England. This is For
eign market. Suppose, again, that we turn to our
own streams and mines and set 100000 at work at
home, in producing these manufactures: we have the
entire business Of supporting the whole number with
out competition; this is the Home Market. Far
mers, which do you prefer Look at things not
cords. Democracy and Federalism, ceased at the
adoption of the present Constitution, to be words of
any practical meaning. They have since been used
only as lure and bug-bear. The one to attract
to the snare of the demagogue the other, to deter
from the exercise of independent thought That the
Farmer and tie manufacturer should be placed side
by side that they might effect mutual transfer of
their products with the least impedment, was, and is
the doctrine of the most patriotic of their 1t is
only the crafty and designing that would seek to
sunder them that Encouragement may beget poverty,
poverty ignorance and ignorance Slavery.
SIN 1871, the British Government made inquiries
of their consuls and agents abroad to what guam
tty of grain could be exported to England from the
different places mentioned below, if the wheat trade
inEngand were constantly open at moderate duty

Mr. EDtToEs-We noticed in your paper of the

he notices our charging for extra baggage on our

Ohio river enables them to pass free, for am told
some twenty or thirty passengers landed there

east, but when they found their baggage was TO be
weighed, took to the river again. Who or what
the object of your correspondent may be. is TO us
alike unimportant, but in justice to such as are in
