Tariff debate seeks clarity on revenue standard in Walker plan
The National Intelligencer critiques Secretary Walker's idea of reducing the tariff to a revenue standard. It argues the 1812 tariff already maintained ample revenue, notes potential effects on money markets and sugar trade, and analyzes major duties on sugar, iron, wool, cotton, and wine, warning against untimely cuts and praising the 1845 tariff's broad benefits.

Deep Plowing Boosts Potato Yields In Sandy Soil
An experiment by Rev Jow Jafyray in Uenuak on a 1841 field shows two plots plowed twelve and eighteen inches deep. The deeper eighteen inch plot yielded 69 bolls per acre vs 57 on the twelve inch plot, with similar quality but larger, fewer small green tubers. The study supports deep plowing to increase produce and soil moisture retention. A second note reports Dayton census data: population 8,825 with growth since 1840.
