Mr. EDITOR,
In former numbers of g Many Manu-
repeatedly called the attention OF the
people to the state things, as they now are deve
oping themseves--'rhat the passage Of the Tariff,
was no settled security for the Manuiacturers-but
that the battle yet to be fought that was to give
them real security and uphold the American oys-
Item efectuay, and to shew the People, the I'M
mense value of the manufactures IN their present IN
lcipient state In my last number, stated the amount
of the cotton manufacture, the two states of Penn
sylvania and New ork now gain from that single
article and have since that time been calculating
the value of the two other great articles OF 7poot and
iron to these tao states alone without including the
other Middle and Western States, all OF them gram
growing, as we'll as manufacturing states.
/ The rain on the manufacture OF cotton was prop
ed in my last number, from authentic data, TO be the
large sum, in these two states OF po,5ooo,ooO, as
will fully appear by reference thereto, as 1t vas
published in the Journal.
Il New-York possesses millions of sheep-Penn-
|syyania 3 mons-forming an aggregate OF seven
millions. Allowing each sheep to produce too lbs.
of wool. this would form an item OF fourteen millions
il of lbs-and taking two lbs OF wool for yard oi
CLOTH this would produce seven millions OF yards OF
+ cloth, Some of this cloth, would be higher, some
,ower priced but take it all round, at So per yard
and the total would be the large sum 4OO0,ool
' made by our own looms, employing our own popu
lation paying the weavers and other artisans EN-
lployed good and liberal wages, and enabling then
to maintain their families in comfort instead OF I'm
: porting the like quantity of cloth from England

An ounce of common sense is better than pound
tteoru md experience Is the best test 81 tfath Las
wear. every farmer and every wool grower kno1rs
THAT his gram was much lower than it IS, this year
/ and that then his wool was not merely totally nn
ri saeoble but that it not to be exchanged hl
is his situation this year Why, he can either sci
his wool, at least at hundred per cent advance
or exchange it, at hundred and nifty per CENT an
what is the cause Of the market being SO much NOR
I. favorable to the farmer Every mans commo

that this is owing TO the factories being in operation
!" whereby the manufacturer purchase his WOO
: while his workmen being all actively employed,
better market is opened for his gran so that bal
rel of flour is worth dollar more, than 1t was bt

are more interested to support and upnoid the .1m
