A mercantile friend has obligingly favored

Joco AZ,
l7th December 1907"
The embargo and non-importation act have
given rise to manufacturing spirit in this CT
ty, the exercise of which will, if carried into
effect supply the state of Maryland with cot
ton and woollen manufactures of homespun
make, which will eventually tend to exclude
the consumption of those of foreign origin
We have no doubt that the enterprising citi-
zen, who will vest portion of his funds in
the Union Manufacturing Company of Mary
land, will find as full remuneration tor tire
employment ofthat capital in the patriotic un-
dertaking, as lift were hazarded on the bound
less ocean Of commercial uncertainty. Ihe
spirit ofenterprize has, we are told, already
manifested itself by desire OF number OF
oitizens to purchase shares in this manufacto~
nv even In its infant and unlncorporated state
The company's capital stock is to consist
of one million of dollars divided into twenty
thousand shares Of 50 dollars each, one thous-
and ofwhich shares are to be reserved to be
subscribed for by the Legislature as the pro-
perry ofthe state. The company are to COM
Inence operations whenever 5000 shares shall
be subscribed for. In order to dlscountenance
a spirit of monopoly, there are allotmeMs OF
shares for each county to be subscribed Tor on
the same day in the several counties OF the
state.
The concerns of the company are entrusted
to the care ola president and II directors
chosen by the stockholders by ballot.
The president and directors are to use their
endeavors to procure of the Legislature an act
ofincorporation.
The articles of association are limited in
duration to the year 1928 unless an act OF IN
corporation shall be sooner obtained.
The internal regulations OF the institution
are unfolded in plain OF associatlon comprls-
ing nineteen articles.
In consequence of the responsibility of the
characters in point of wealth, patriotism and
commercial Importance, we fondly cherish a
lively hope that the company will speedily be
enabled to commence their operations, and
give manufacturing character to this city
which Will add to its commercial Importance.
The praise worthy attempt will no doubt re-
ceiye the fostering care of government.
