The committee embrace this opportunity to say
that in their Judgment the domestic manufactures 0t
this county enii' to more particular consde'
ration from this soce,y believing as they do thai it
can be made Une Of the main pillars OF its support
When properly fo<tered i, will hiring aid a mos;
powerful and cml.nIan ding influence for gnod An
influence which, il exerted against us, would NOT en-.
silly be withs,ood. We refer to the influence OF the
ladies. They for the most part are the domestic
manufae,urerso Ut Ltch6eld County. No man can
lie 50 blind. not TO the oil powerful and con.
trolling influence which is constantly being exered
by those whom man, in the pride OF his strength, de.
noHlina'es the weake portion Of creation, ever the
moral social, and II you please the agricultural, as
well rs every other interest Uf man. The commits
Tee do not say that the ladies' Of Lch6eld County
need stimulants to industry il would he saying
what they do NOT hcevc; bu, they do say that they
need encouragement in order to bring the product 81
their industry forward for exhibition. and tor the
RMat reward which this society is enabled to offer
them. With this view, they would recommend to
the Executive Committee Of this society that they
mnch enlarge the variety Of articles fnr which they
s.frr the regular premiums Of the society; and in
ihat excite greater spirit at competition. and con-
Geqieni!y bring tgeiheF much larger variety OF the
articles ut domestic industry. Many articles could
be enumerated, valuable in themselves, and highly
ner torns, which were exhibited but fos which this
e'ciety has offered no encouragement In the form Of
tegsilar premium. The committee take pleasure
IN saying that the exhibition Of domestic manuac.
lures has ncpeased in interest all that could I've
Peced, and fcects the highest credit upon the do
nestle manufacturers Of Iitchield Cauniy.
AL which is respectfully submitted.
