The Free Trader Letter to Sir Robert Peel on Corn and Politics
A lengthy 1841 polemic in The Free Trader denounces Sir Robert Peel and the government. It critiques political arithmetic on corn supply, argues workers lack wages fuel distress, and condemns coercion in petitions. The piece roots its attack in Tamworth and Westminster, laments parliamentary tactics, and warns of national peril under the Peel ministry.

Death of Dr Francia Dictator of Paraguay
An obituary profile recounts the career of Dr. Francia, Paraguay’s inflexible ruler who ended free trade restrictions on the Parana River. Born 1758 to a Paraguayan Creole family with disputed French/Portuguese heritage, he rose as a scholar and lawyer, then seized power in 1814. He governed ruthlessly, wielding dictatorial authority, imprisoning rivals, and shaping Paraguayan society for decades. His later life focused on learning, mathematics, and astronomy, with a secluded cottage and a small library marking his austere rule and lasting impact.
