New Orleans is made at the North. In 1eli-

The Southern Methodist Book Concern gets
most of theirs from North of Mason and
Dixon's Line. Most of the newspapers oil
that State are manufactured South. The
Picayune is sound upon the Southern ques-

The Bath Paper Mill in South Carolina
lostits first capital mainly for the want Of
steady home demand for its products. That
Company labored long and hard to introduce
their excellent paper into use; that estab-
lisbment is now doing we'll and making money
for its proprietors. 1t is now becoming gen
erally known to publishers that good and
cheap paper is made at the South it is like
" that that branch of industry will be able
to take care Of itself, particularly as the con-
surner purchases directly from the manufac-
turer, which is not the case with manuiactu-
rers in other branches, who can reach the
consumer only through tie merchant, who,
if he be like other men, will have his atten-
ton directed to making money; and they
CAN oil succeed best in carrying out that OBJ
ject by selling goods that are made far away

from home, for everybody knows the worth
of a leading article of home manufactured
domestics, and therefore the trader may not
be able to realize as large q profit as may
satisfy bis tbirat for gain,
We have In our mind another branch Of
industry which, though small, enters into the
/ general list of neglected employmcnt-the
manufacture of silver ware. In old times,
when from the scarcity of money but little
silver ware was used, almost every town in
the South had its silversmith to make spoons,
cups, Sc. How stands the matter now
There is not village in the whole South
where you may not find Yankee silver spoons
for sale, and we think it would be difficult to
find silver smith at work anywhere in the
State, out of Charleston. Even that city
does not support, att ought to do, one silver,
smith. There is one establishment in that
city which has been struggling for life ior
thirty years past, scarcely able to live and
almost entirely unknown to the people Of the
State, so far as trade goes. That establish,
ment hos been working always against o hot
Northern competition, besides wind and tide
against it in that proverbial Indifference about
Southern patronage to home industry. The
proprietor of that one establishment is pro-
verbal for his honesty and industry, and has
struggled through life and raised family o.
useful descendants, but has me-. amassed the
wealth that has been the better fortune o.
those who dealt in Yankee silver ware.
We inspected beautiful silver tea sci
made by the proprietor OF that establishment
which was exhibited at the Institute Fail
two years ago, which, to the manufacturer's
great modification, did not get the highest
premium, which was awarded to articles o.
Yankee manufacture. We use the word
Yankee" in speaking of all the people NORTH
Of Mason and Dixon's line. We do not pre-
