900 square feet, or four acres The building
has been made bonded warehouse by Govern
ment, and already assurances are given of an ex-
tensive representation of foreign industry.
g. The object of the exhibition cannot be sub
served without an equal representation of all the
great industrial interests of our own confedera-
ton, whether in raw materials, manufactured
products or in the fine arts. The Fair viii be
opened to the cereal products of the Northern
and Western States, the cotton, sugar. and rice
of the South; the hemp tobacco, and other mis-
cellaneous products of the West the mineral
resources of all these regions. 1t is extremely
desirable that these great interests should be rep
resented as well as the manufacturing, in order
that the New and Old World should be contras.
ted together, and the two regions mutually in
struct and be instructed.

8. Citizens of the Southwest, you are invited
and earnestly solicited to be represented in this
first great American Fair. We have products
in all abundance in every department of industry
, andingenuity, if we will but send them, suffi-
cient to delightand instruct every observer. We
were comparatively unrepresented at the Londor
Fair, but every consideration of patriotism should
induce us to cooperate in this one upon our owl
> soil We are part of the nation that must OBJ
! tain the glory of success or the shame Of dicom
fiture and defeat. Let us unite with our fellow
e citizens of the North in this great enterprize
: and rely upon their cooperation in any move
!. ments we may make hereafter, for similar exhi
bitions in our immediate regions.
) Thus shall we obliterate local feelings, preju
dices and antipathies the bonds o
e s amity and concord-realize. indeed. that we ar
one people, with one hope and one inheritance
Q one faith and one destiny
