as now and heretofore directed in the State, Ii
greatly disprOportiouate TO the other industrial
processes Of life, and its tendency is 10 decline
and ultimate decay, would suggest as Il remedy
the incorporation Of manufacturing companies,
with the most liberal charters. The grant OF
these cannot injuiOusly affect other Interests,
but on the contrary promote them.
The charters will be inducements 10 new in
vestments, and as they may divert capital and
labor from other employments, especially from
agrc uture, to that extent, the planter Will be
renewed from a competition that has been drag
gIng down the price Of his staples.
Like all the great works Of internal improve
ment, the plan in view contemplates that there
should be Joint effort and cooperation. wis,
policy will awaken the incentive TO action, and
impose no restraint that will retard its progress
or mar its success.
An exemption from taxation, or the imposi'
ton Of small tax for specified number of years
and also an exemption OF the private property o
the stockholder from liability for the debts o
the company of which he is a member, would
in my opinion, conduce TO the establishment o
extensive manufactures, and as a consequence
give an Impulse 60 all the useful and mechani
cal arts and their train Of attendant blessings.
OF these, in paper like this, 1t can scarcely
be expected that should address you ut large
except by suggesting for your consideration,

ever extended into States, Empires OF King
doms, Ia which the pursuits Of labor are so di
yersihed as to supply general wants, and thos'
which are cent? ned to the production Of few
rich staples to the neglect OF the common neces
saries OF life--the general effect Of that trade
in which the raw materials are returned In manu-
featured fabrics at increased prices, varying from
two 10 five hundred per cent; and an imPartia

As an offset for the exemption of private prop

/ Of manufacturing corporations, the Goyerno
recommends that each incorporated company 3
required under specific penalty TO give to eac
indented apprentices the opportunity OF acquir
ing, free OF expense TO the apprentice, the rudi
ments of an English education. On this poin
he says:
| In this aspect thu plan is fraught with philan
! thropy. Our educ ational system is in some re
specis deficient, By reason Of the sParseness
population, and the distance Of pupils from tn
places Of instruction. By the proposed schem
classes will be assembled, and the facilities
mental improvement be afforded without put

l At the same time the apprentices will be &C
cnstorned 10 habits Of industry, so that on reach

and habits of bodily labor which has produce
the most energetic end successful men OF u
modern age.
