But, beyord this there opens 8 vast inviting
field for tale Ut and enterprise in Manufactures, TO
which We would invite the attention Of our Young
Men.
TLis country ha. become the largest market on
esrh for Fabrics, in proportion to its population
II is rapidly increasing in population and con-
sumption. Whoeser among Us Knows how 70
make almost anything well and cheaPly need not
look abroad fer market. We buy more Broad'
cloth snpuAly than any other nation yet We do mol!
mske one yard in hundred Of IL while we
make Cassimeres, De LAiues, Prints, Drills, Flan-
Lels, CouLterptnes and many other fabrics,

or Hosiery We have extensive consumers,
and hardly any thing can be simpler than its manu-.
fscture; yet We import tue great bulk of what We
consume, while exporting none Of our own pro-
ductiCn. In short, there are scores Of opportuni-
ties on every eide for embarking in Manufactures
With moral certainty OF immediate success and
ultimate wealth.
Nor DO We need capital, as i, often asserted.
There is capital enough in this country, and readi
ness 10 invest it. if It's owners can bat De sure that
it will be wisely employed. Our greatest def
cheney is in practical knowledge. Were ten thou
sand of our young men thoroughly qualified to
direc. and manage manufactures, there would be
room for them all Mills and improved water
pow ers sell at ruitcus rates in good part because
there are few or none qualified by training aud ex-
perence to make the mos: Of them. Had one
fourth Of our youth who have been sent to college
during the lsst ten years been sent i1sted to the
best manufactures Of the Old World there to
study and master the mes. approved methods Of
spinning, weaving dyeing, &c., our National
wealth would have been far greater than it IL, and
cur Labor more generally employed and more lb'
orally remunerated. May We not hope that the
immediate future will correct the errar Of the
