Political economists have tanght that nation is prosperous whea the balance of trade Is in ts favor that is, when it's exports exceed its imports Bai Inc suress iDdteasion of sound and hsalshfal na- tiOnai prosperity is thc existence of surplus of agricultural products which may ee exchanged Tor the manufactures of smother people. For this rcasoR t behoOvvs every government to look mainly to the iatesosts of the agricultural population. lR ehershing and protecting this every other oeeuPa- ion Sf society is pToPortionaely fOssrcd and en- eonagea. Th0 ruiseA condition of Grea, Britain Is example ef the effect Of the opposite POley. There, maausacsares wers exclusively cared for; the farming interest left to maintain itself as il best sicoaid. The degradation, the wreeheJness and pitise distress Of millions of lAmisikng operatives victims of protective lariif-in England, Ireland and Scotland living witnesses of the evil effects of such short-=ishted measures. The government of England, with all is bOassed power and wealth. is iotieFiag fabrIe. sustained only by the aid of other nations whoss interos, ii may he to supply her wants. The miserable labosers crowded iato the British manufacturing towns gre dependant upon the farmers of Germany and the United States fer the scanty pittanco of bread to sustain life How different has been ths effect of the liberal policy recommended by the democracy, and adopted in oar own country. in 1916. While manufactures arc gradually increasing, not forced inulatarely upon us, but built up and supported by the increased demand; while the home consumption of raw terial is greatly augmented, and we are enabled to underseil foreign manufacturers in their mar kets, our agriculturists are equally benefited and our productions commeasurately increased. In the iwenty-eight years, from ls2l to lSis, inclusive, the total yaiae of breadstus aud provision exported from the United States was SI7l ,000,f15 The ex- port for the year SIS alone amounted to S35 4I2, a5l, which is aboa; three times the average amount of the exports for the eighteen years ending in lc1ss. This another consequence of the adoption of the free trade doctrine. It places ali classes of men upon tho same footing, and makes industry, and not iaYoFitsm, the basis of wealth It enables every individual to fill that place in society where he can make himself most useful, and does not afford the to the ndoient capitalist to enrich himself from the la5or of others

The Jeaersonian, and Gov. Roane.

Throughout the late canvass fel, il duty give to Gov.

The same thing has beea done by every Governor we have ever had, as uBcOm- promising they were in their political opinions.
 We have said thus much by way of suggesting to the JeFersonian that such assaults, while they caR serve no good PurpOss. weaken and embarrass oar strength party wherever the paper has infia ence. We do not know who the writer of inc eosion alluded to is but have been led to suppose that it originated not eeTy far from Little Rock. That Col.

"Houesty is the Best Po,icx..,

We are glad to that the issue is about to be made up between democracy and whigsry, upon the slavery question. During the heat of the contest last year many of our friends. in New York and elsewhere, nfamed and excited by the ineendiary efforts of designing fanatics. were induced to be- lcve that the Wilmot proviso question would be only matter of dispute 5etween the North and South, irrespective of party. Recent developments have revealed 10 them its real position. The prn- ciples acknowledged hy the democratic party upoa tns subject have been repeatedly prnms gated and are now universally subscribed by the democracy, both North and South; and the federajists, whigs, Taviorites, no-party men, CT whatever they choose 10 bs called, are forced 10 take ground and array themselves either for against Us The democrats have adopted the doctrine Of -iHtrpcnfloR They stand by the constitution, which secures to each State the soie right regulate it's internal govern 'nent. The northern whigs, through the Vermont eouvea'iea, the Philadelphia American the New York fF5une, and the got-ke dictator, Dlnisl Webster, have already declared, unequiyocally, in favor of the wiiuiot proviso This places the whir party Sou,h in rather " had fx," and forces upon then tAe disagreeable necessity of choosing whether 10 become traitors 10 their party traitors to their country; whether to abspdoa their ireesoi confcd- crates, aeeede 10 the justice of democratic prin- cPles and support the constitution and the Union, or to lay aside ell sub,erfu=4s and disguises, and come out boldly n favor of aboli,ionism. For some time past they have been attempting to charge the usmecracy with a coalition with the freesoilers
 This "dodge" is no longer available. The demo- cras have defined their posi,ioa and left the whigs in the SOuth only the eonfUr,less consolation that, with them, il is-" Heads, lose; tails, you win"

The Road to Fort smith.

We called attention, some time since, to the propo sitiOn of the citizens c! Fort Smith to construct a road on the south side of the Arkansas, from that brought before town meeting lately held here 10 appoint delegates to the Memphis convention. but definite action was had. We have since ascer- taned that neighbOrs al Fort Smith have been putting their precep,s into practice They have aPPOiRted committee for the purpose of advancing the project; they have also collected nearly thou sand dollars with which to NonmeRce operations, and have already made arrangements for the survey of the rdhte proposed for the road. It has been frequently aud forchly represented to that, al very small expense, good and substantial wagon road can De made upon this side of the river, which will not only be shorter, but free from many of the objections that are urged against the nov used. Ii has been stated by many intimately acquainted with the locg!e of both rOutes-among whom were some of the Little Rock California comPany-that the road upon the south side of the river would possess many advantsgesO the other not the least of which is tha, ii would not a, any time be liable to obstruction by high water. This matter merits the serious consideration of our citizens, as the benefits of such communication would enure not only to Fort Smith and the intermediate country. bu, in equal if not greater degree, to Little Rock Should we hereafter succeed in having the road 10 the Pacific located upon the route ria. Fort smith, (aad of this wo now entertain but little doubl the road now proposed would be of immense importance 10 the mercantile portion of our community, in At- trae,ing the mass of emigration through our place
 Tho proposition has met with hearty response from the citizens of the intermediate counties, and understand that sn offer has been made 10 com plete the immediate construction of the work if the pose a, each cad of the line This has already been done at Fort Smith, and dO not hesitate to predict that l. sill be greatly to lhs interest of our citizens to co their part toward the establishment of this road. There k DO greater aid to the prosperity Of the State than an easy means of communication, in every direelioa. There is surer mode of incresas ing the value of lands and the amount of produc- tions, than the construction of good, permanent and uuobstrueied roads. Were there no superior advantages to be secured, VIC see no reason why we should not have two roads, well one, so long as they will insure greater amount of trade and travel to eur market But much mora weighty considerations make il desirable. just now, that the proposed route should bc adopted. It wiIl be one more link in the chain of eommu ncatioa by which to determine the passage of the Pacific railroad through Arkansas, and to render Il necessary iha,
 il should erOss the river at Little Rock.
