scented thal the agricultural interests Of The
great west depends entirely upon their
prosperity. We are told that all Of our /
Theat, corn. heel. pork and every export
4 sustenance will then end : market--alll
waltherebe sM allowed up and the huaetyl
nsnufscto'ie' viii still cry ''give, give.n
An this is beautifully brought to close
p an ardent and most aiIectionale appeal
= The dear people Tor rrosscfiue tariff to
aesfer those blessed manufactures, which
afs gong to eat mp every thing which
grows in the west. and the whole matter
= hnally wound up BY solemn adlnonition
AID awful denunciation that if tie demand
, Mt answered, our corn and wheat will
rot in the Fields for want Of market-that
beef and pork viii be as worthless as prai-
ne wolves, and that poverty and starva-
lien viii streak through the whole western
country like awill-o'-the- wisp through an
Atler swamp. ee
Now this principle, Of the f.deralists. Of
dealing in generalilies, will do for talk and
bsaster, but when we Come 10 settle down
on naked facts, Il yanisl.es like the mist.
yust reflect one moment ON the idea of the
nanufasiurers u The eastern States going
= 81 up al the surplus produce u all the
western States! To cal SO much one WOULD
suppose That every person in the New
Eagland Staiss was engaged ia manufac-
asring. But even in the city of Lowell,
he sresisst manufacturing city IN Che
States, not half Of the people are nanufac-
sarers. There are 20, 1856 inhabitants in
Lowell, and only 1886 .samslsctsrys and
sfsdvs. The number If manufacturers i,
snalI, when compared with the whole pop
slsiion. There are 46,SS4 cotton, and
II ,268 woollen manufacturers in the East
ern States. In all58, lO2. Now does any
sns believe that these few people are going
- eat de Western States out Of house and
hene? 49,
Taking IN, with the manufacturers, all
- eafpeutess, snillers, mechanics and all
he faboring tradesnen Of every descfip-
don and The number il only l24,8l5.
Now We ask where is tins great manufac-
turing market Of the Eastern Statesl WHY.
e she whole l24, 8l5 should rely entirely
81 he west for support, then the single
city q New York would Be Eve times as
big market. The population Of New
England Is ], 1874 ,e59, and to feed these
they grow annually 2,0l4,l20 bushels of
wheat. 1856. os9 Of rye, 77s,os4 Of buck
wheat, $685., 800 bushels Of corn and 35,-l
le0 800 bushels of potatoes-they produce
t400, 81 worth uf garden sauce, $500, 8l8
worth Of applss and have $9,1l7,144 in
cone from their dairy and make 6. 693 GOT
pounds Of sugar. In addition to all this we
.are told that, i they only have litAle pro-
isrfioa, they win consume the enormous
amount Of $l20, 000. 900 worth Of western
produce which they annually float down,
Ne Mississippi river. $3.50 m
IA Ths fact Is the eastern States never did
md never will and never can consume one
6fsh psrt Of die surplus products Of the
wei. That The western State. find mar
~ - he eastern. cities for. their produce
- grant. But It only goes there 70 be e.
lysr1st - J Jorsign worked. The western
lsoph have 40 ships. The people Of the
iealt a. nearly Al the commercial business
~ The whole nation, and this Is the rea-
son that ali western products Of expor: find
: market in The eastern cities. Il
~ j. Turn for this humbug Of manufac-
Turing market in the east, the people are
told that they shall have high duty on
thsirs beef, pork, butter, cheese, lard, sc.
But these are things which cannot be pro-
teded because We produce more than the
fqqntry can consume and we have to send
them 70 foreign market where the price
= regulated. None Of these articles are
inpotted 70 this country.
There are articles upon whichthc farm
