A Farm that would bring Two Thousand
Dollars without one, will as readily com-
nand Three thousand with one; and Mr.
D'Hpmergue states that converting the
best silk into the aforesaid article, is as
improper as i would be to manufacture
lhe gold nom the mincs Of North Caro-
Ina into frying psns and kettles. His
Essays area valuable production and. will
be- the means of facilitating the growth
and manufacture of silk in this country.
He, together with Mr.. Peter Dupcnceau,
propose that the Raw Silk be reeled in a
proper manner and be made an article O.
have no doubt it might be
made profitable branch ofindustry, but.
'ink the course it will naturally take, will
first be to supply those persons already
Engaged n its psanpfacsurc and those thai
from the seperation of'silnture
As soon as silk is pre-
pared in proper manner for tho manu-
acture Of GOODS, the artists already in the

# silk stuffb, will be called into action, ,and
he manufacture Of the various kinds will
probably keep pace with the production.
We alresdy manufacture silk fringe,
ribbons, satin straws. silk vel
ets, and other articles, and find a difficult
vim obtaining the proper material. When
yer there shallbe an oyerstoek of the
aw material for the aforesaid purposes,
he expectation OF the article will necessa-
ily follow, hut until that time it will pro-
bly, be consumed IN the country. glli
With respect ito the communication
