facilities for manufacturing surprising any state In the
Union With ghtened and liberal legislation. the
manufacturing interest would be augmented there
BY increasing the demand for agricultural productions
and LARGELY swelling the amount OF our commerce.
We have therefore right 10 expect that bill SO eau
