"A intake of nearly seven millions of dollars

iaborious and most accurate financier the Sc

remarkable, the error diminished to thai extent

AN INTERESTING DOCUMENT.

The Washington correspondent Of the Bafti-
more Sun notices the forthcoming report Of Mr..
Burke, Commissioner of Patents, as being docu-
ment Of great interest. II is not yet completed,
but he facts thus far arrived at are astounding.
Our grain production IS such for instance, that
Iif we were 70 multiply il according to our means,
We might feed all Europe, besides the whole popu-
lation of this continent. Alexander Won Hum
boldt estimated the population which the valley
Of thei Mississippi alone might support, at+three
hundred millions which is more than the whole
population Of Europe. including that Of Russia
to the Ural mountains. Our Indian corn crop,
Mr. Burke estimates, from very reliable data at
$40 900, 900 bushels, equal at so cents bushel to
270 900 900 dollars about four times the value
of the whole production Of cotton.
And in proportion to this enormous production
Is the growth Of wealth and population of our
western cities. We have reciprocity treaties
with foreign republics, whose exports and i'm
ports do notyet equal those of Cincinnati and
which, in fact, have nothing to recommend them

commencing about the 10Th of May, and published
till the Presidential election, making % numbers pre-

will contain the full official of the United States,

The character of the Coonskinner heretofore is an
earnest of what may be expected in future. No ex-

support to the nominees of the Baltimore Democratic
Convention, and in every fair and honorable way to
sustain the cherished principles of the Great Demo-
cratic party of the Union.
The importance of general and correct information
duriSH the coming contest, when higher than
Kihgy Office is to be filled by the unbought votes of
free and mighty people, should be apparent to all.

Error detected and exposed, shall endeavor to

The CHARrIsTs.-The real character of the Char
fists and their leaders, very little understood in this
country. We hear of them almost wholly through
the English newspapers, and generally the accounts
are little else than sneers. But there are among them
many men of great personal excellence, and very
sound views on government The petition which we
have published, is repetition, in the main, of Amer
lean doctrine. The demands which the Chartists
have made, are only such we should say ought to
be granted without moments hesitation. 1t Is not
many years since the advocates of free trade were
fired upon in England and both there and here scorn-
ed and despised. But where are they now! Golden
has compelled the great Sir Robert 10 confess the su-
perior wisdom of the calico dealer. In government
of political and religious aristocracy, every one who
dares to speak of equal rights any rights belong
ing to generally, may expect to De buried like
Oliver Cromwell, under continents Of defamation.
But truth in these days has better chance than for
merly, and earths tyrants are compelled to confess
Its greatness and force. In France we have had a
mob revolution, and there projected to the
top of affairs men who astonish the world by their
wise and noble views. If there should be mob
revolution in England, the result would be the same.
We should see goodness and greatness IN the as
cendant there, quite as much as now.-N. Y. Jour.

The undersigned Liberty Men of the State of Indiana
invite the Liberty Men of the State, assemble in Con-
yention the morning of Monday the 18th day of june
1913.
All the opponents of the extension of Slavery are in
yited TO assemble with them.
1t is probable that the question of the Exclusion of
Slavery from National Territories will make the great and
permanent issue in the approaching Presidential Election
1t is possible that candidate may be nominated by the
Wing Democratic Party who will represent views
on this question Failing such nomination, the signs
OF the times indicate that the Friends of Freedom will
rally upon this question, and present independent
didaie for the sufirages of the people,
Liberty should consider all the duties which the
crisis inFnsnds of them Before the time designated for
Sta5 Convention, the of the other parties will
have been fixed. BY that time shall know what
fellow citizens, who at present. limit their opposition
slavery to its exclusion from the territory will do. We
shall then be prepared ourselves to determine wisely and
fully upon course.
We trust therefore, that the Liberty in every
ty in the State will take be represented the
Convention IF there be County ,chere there is but one
Liberty man, LET COME WHO CAN.
At the close of the Convention the Liberty party
appoint their Electors for President and Vice President
and 60 into the coming election understandngly, and
with energy.
