Ndc To the manufacture of such articles As are IN
constant demand IN an agricultural community Such
as agriculture. implements, wagons ana coaches,
saddory. harness, Sc. machinery, tannerles, OIL
mills, mills for flour corn and Oat mca., pcdI.'Ddrey,
&c. factories for substantial fabrics IN wool linen.
and cotton factories for white lead and paints. for
doors >ashes and blinds chairs bedsteads furniture,
&c, Be. Al these things are constant wants IN
these countries. The material for most of them
can be bought for from IS 10 80 per cent cheaper IN
Chlcago than IN New.Nork or Boston. Buildings
can be bought 81 rented for about GU per cent. oi

transportation alone on bulky articles would make
Yankees profits
