WewiIi now proceed 10 compare the agricui-
ural productions of the seven free, with those OF
the six slave States, constituting together, the
original thirteen States of the Union
The United States census for 1870, speeches
the quantity of articles raised in the different
States, but in most instances leaves their value
undetermined. Lest the prices at which have
estimated the various articles, may appear .high
10 the Kentucky reader, I would remind him oil
that which he knows already, II he VIII reject
moment, that most agricultural productions IN
the Atlantic States are worth from nifty TO one
hundred per cent. more, than they are m the
States in the interior ] have the State census
Of Massachusetts, for 1915, before me, IN
which the Prices of the agricultural productions
of that State for that year, are specified. Pre-
suming that these prices are pretty fair ente-
ron by which to estimate the value OF Ike pro-
duetious in other Atlantic States, Ishall be gu-
ded by them, to considerable extent IN making
the estimates which follow;
