the three latter, should suppose, we are nearly

amount OF surplus, or unemployed capital, which
could, or might, be employed IN manufacturing,

and from what source, can be drawn sufficient
capital foH manufacturing purposess With due
Difference, | will suggest that my plan would be
this: We have at this time bank capital nearly
to the amount of one and half million OF dol.

to half million, and apply the balance to ma
nutacturing. Our best dividends from bank stock
is now only four per cent;-reduce the bank ca.
pita to the SUN before stated. and hazard but
little in saying it would pay stockholders nearly
double the amount: Should this be the case, and
I verify believe it, great improvement would
be effected in that amount ct capital. know
