From this subject now turn and will allude to point
that more peculiarly affects us in common with every
other new State But cannot refrain from publishing al
the end OF these cursory observations further quotation
from the extraordinary and able article OF the Demo
cratic Review, the perusal Of which shall ask.

oppressive and runous that can possibly be conceived
upon the people and terriloryof every new State
From 1885, the year OF the admission OF Arkansas, to
is47 inclusive the United States government has drawn
from that State for public lands $2447 347making
average draft upon the State OF Arkansas alone. annual
y, Of s2o3.9a5 This has been paid by population
that amounted in 1896 to only 5000, and had increased
isi6 TO only i45000 This is the tax and annual drain
that mpovershes and crushes every State that will
continue to do so until the public lands all sold, and
is policy that is settled, and will only change with the
government that exerts it, How is il expected with this
and other burdens that we pay our State debts now
This sa subject infinitely extensive, and will not touch

will get rid OF this policy and claim the land.
