Next. the Iron-nadking Business.

West Virginia had, in 1910, as good
natural resources, in every respect, for max
ing iron, as West Pennsylvania. Yet, &C
cording to the census Of 1910, (when no
stone.coal was used in iron furnaces,) West
Virginia made only 4,660 tons OF cast and
of bar iron, a year; when West PennSylva-
MIA, made 116, $50 tons. The value Of the
West Virginia iron was $4,000 dollars,
that Of West Pennsylvania iron was 4, 1884,
600 dollars. The West Virginia iron mas
tiers made seventy per cent OH their capital,
and 800 dollars worth to the hand--chiefiy
slaves. The West Pennsylvania iron mas
tiers made 109 per cent on their capital, and
720 dollars worth to the hand:--all free la
borers.
There is no sign of material error in the
census returns, from which we derive these
results; and no error can be supposed, which
would materially change them.
The iron business has since increased in
West Virginia; it has increased vastly more
in West Pennsylvania.
Mex, Manufactures.
IL to the value of the cast and the bar
iron Of each country, we add the value OF
the manufactures Of iron and steel. of wool.
cotton and leather, we get total OF no.
900 dollars in West Virginia, and about
six millions OF dollars in West Pennsyl-
vania.
The cost of constructing new buildings,
amounted, in West Virginia, to about one.
fourth of what it didin West Pennsylvania;
indicating an increase in wealth and popula-
ton at the same comparative rate.
Manufactures make towns, and towns
make good markets for farmers; the larger
the towns the better the markets, and the
more valuable the lands near them. The
Pennsylvania towns ale larger and more
numerous than the Virginia towns, both in
the Valley and West Of it. The boast O
our West Virginia is the coed city Of Wheel
ing. Would that she were six times a.
large, that she might equal Pittsburgh. anC
that she grew five times as fast, that she
might keep up with her.
We glory in Wheeling, because she only
in Virginia, deserves to be called manu-
featuring town. For this her citizens de
serve to be crowned--not with laurel-bu
with the solid gold Of prosperity. But how
came it. that Wheeling. and next to her
Wellsburg.--of all the towns in Virginia
should become manufacturing towns? An
swer: They breathe the atmosphere Of fire.
: States, almost touching them on both sides
: But again; seeing that Wheeling, as sea
for manufactures, is equal to Pittsburgh
. ard inferior to no town in America, excep
Richmond; ard that moreover, she has a
most no slaves.-why is Wheeling so ia
behind Pittsburgh, and comparatively $
slow in her growth! Answer: She is i
, country in which slavery is established b
, law.

But let US return TO the general COM
parison.
The AGRlcULTURE Of West Pennsylva-
mia is much better conducted, and much
more prosperous, than that OF West Viz
ginia. We have calculated its productive
ness from the census tables, in the manner
before described and we end that the farm
ing industry of West Pennsylvania yields
the annual value of two hundred and twelve
dollars to the hand; that Of West Virginia,
one hundred and f(ty-eight dollars TO the
hand. This result is substantially correct;
for the lands Of West Pennsylvania are
much more highly valued than those of SINH
lar natural qualities in West Virginia.
This is true, both in the Great Valley, and
West Of the Allegheny. Mark that fact,
fellow-citizens; it is worthy Of deep consid-
Grafton; it is full of meaning. Lands III
West Virginia are much cheaper than SINH
lar lands in The free country North Of Viz.
ginia. Yet rather than buy and cultivate
these good cheap Virginia lands, Northern
farmers go farther, pay more, and fare worse;
so they do, and so they will. They look
upon all Virginia as an infected country
and so it is.

The Great Valley of Virginia, between

Thus it appears fsllow-citizens, by in
fallible proofs, that West Virginia, in all
her parts and in al her interests, has auf-
fered immensely from 4ha institution Of sla-
very. tg fr
The bad policy Of ihs Legislature in for
mer times, in respectful the roads and land
surveys west of the 4neghany, did great in
jury to the country. Bot after allowance is
made for this, a vas balance of injury is
chargeable to slavery and to nothing else.
In the Great Valley.where the other causes
had little or no operation, the effects of sla-
very are most manifes and most pemicious.
In those parts West 4 the Allegheny, upon
the Ohio and its nasigsble waters, where
want of roads and disputed land titles did
least injury-there too. the corrosive touch
Of slavery has also shown its cankerous
effects.

The Virginia section increased moderate
ly, the first ten years; but scarcely at all, the
second ten. The total increase in twenty
years, was less than fourteen per cent.
The Northern section kept on, all the
time, increasing at good rate; and gained
in the twenty years, thirty-eight and half
per cent, nearly three times as much as the
Virginia section.
Yet the Virginia section was at last only
half as thickly peopled as the other, and
ought, therefore, to have grown twice as fast
Instead Of that, it came almost to full
stop, the last ten years; in fact the newer
mountain counties, where there are almost
no slaves, and they only, increased a little,
the other and richer counties, where slaves
were numerous, and had been gaining on
the white population-these counties have
increased very little for twenty years; some
of them have rather declined. The land ha:
already got slavesick, and is spewing out
its inhabitants.

land, should be afflicted with this yello,c fe
yer and this black vomit.
