depce and whose careful calculations entitled to
credit, that Milwaukee the coming year, WI export
twelve millions of bushels Of wheat; this, OF course,
will include -four in bushsls Whether correct OF not
we feel confident that Wisconsin will rase surplus Of
fifteen millions Of wheat, and this, when moved 70 the
seaboard for the purpose OF canoeing old liabilities
and the purchase of goods, will be the most complete
refutston that could be made of the wholesale sanders
that have been circulated regarding
When we add TO the item Of wheat the wool clip OF

43 cents the reports fer the coming year Of our sur
plus quantity Of gins, our beef pork, lumber
IRON lead, and copper may reasonably estimate our
revenue for the coming year at ngnres ranging rom
twenty 10 twenty-five millions Of dollars. Whoever
seeks 10 ignore the future wealth and importance OF
Wisconsin knows but little Of her mighty resources, of
which the greater share 10 yet undeveoped. With a
climate delightful and saluorous, with shorter Winters
and longer Summers than in the latitude in the
ew-EDgland States, soil rich and productive, and
easily titled il possesses n very high degree those
elements which essential to the prosperity Of an In
teligent and enterprising people Living, as we do;
miles distant from either milwaukee, or Chicago, and
having no pecunary interest in either locality TO swerye
us from stating what we believe 10 be true, we have
no desire to underrste or exalt either place
at the expense of the other, or at the
expense of truth illinois is great and
glorious State and Chicago is indeed mighty city for
her years. We wish her 10 thrive and grow still
greater, as we do every other Western city, and TO
build up her interests upon her legitimate resources
without the necessity of vilfyng abusing her beau
tfu sister, Milwaukee We feel deep interest in the
growth of Milwaukee, interest because she wor-
thy of interest, and sustains people who have no
superiors in intelligence, enterprise and morality in
any of the cities Of the West. And while we shall
labor to advance the prosperity of Wisconsin as State,
ana Milwaukee city, it shall never be done at
sacrifice Of Truth by undertaking and derdlng our
neiQhboring States and cities. We feel glowing and
growing pride in the prosperity and future importance
of the entire Northwest. and have written this article
merely because our State pride would not allow us TO
ait quietly under the beler LASH when know that
malice and not Justice, moved the arm that has endea-
vored TO strike the blow.
Let the Northwest but do its duty let every locality
build itself up from ts own natural resources let Iyai

Northwest will assume a position, ere many years,
that will challenge the admiration and command the
respect of the Eastern and Southern portions OF the
