AemOsala Nanu1:a cfures.-If we seem
to make this subject hobby, It'll because we
believe, and are justified in believing, that the
introduction of manufacturing establishments of
various kinds, is the only way by which our beau
tiful and healthy city be made to grow in
wealth and population, or to hold it's own,
as it now is. Property owners should fully real
ize this fact that without some such means to fur>
nish employment to the laboring population, that
population will certainly seek such employment
in other and more enterprsing places. Nor is it
sufficient to sit down and wait for men of enter~
prise to seek city place to settle and build
up manufacturing establishments, because the
whole northwest is full of such places, and in
many of them large inducements are held out to
manufacturers and practical business men. The
consequence is that many places in this and adj
joining States of not half as many inhabitants as
we have, and with nothing like the natural faciIi>
ties, have many kinds of manufactures in full OPP
Grafton, and are growing rich and populous, while
We are standing sttl.
We have again and again referred to the estab-
lishments we have, and to those in prospect
Still there are other needed branches, that might
be established, and there is capital enough IN the
to induce their establishment.
We understand that Mr. j. H. KIxBALL COM
templates putting a first class FIGURING and Gus
tom Mill into his large warehouse. He has the
power already there, and plenty of unocupied
70 ON We believe he would find it to his adven>
tsge TO do it, not only in view of immediate re-
suits from the Mill itself but also in view of the
| indirect results through the enhancement of the
value of real property.
We have hitherto spoken of the establishment
of first class Wooden Factory in Kerosha. That
enterprise is not yet fairly inaugurated, but it
| should be at once. Two or three of our leading
merchants have spoken to us in reference to this
matter, and all concur in saying that such es>
Enlistment could not fail OF being great benefit
| to the place, besides paying large profit on the
| investment. And the statement has been frequent
~ made that such an enterprise would receive
from the business men and property holders, al
the material aid requisite for its completion.
With all due Difference to the opinions of 9TH
ers we would suggest thai the most certain an
expeditions method to get such an estab lishmeni
INTO operation would be the formation of Joint
Stock Company, raise the means, and then invite
some reliable practical Wooden Manufacturer
who has some capital and large amount OF
skilI and energy, TO take charge of the Factory
ent time, no business in the country pays suct
large dividends on the capital invested, as the
Wooden Manufacture in ali its BRANCHES. The
business once in successful operation stockhold-
ers, if they wish to withdraw their capital, will
find no trouble in doing so, as the practical op
orators of the business would find it for their Owl
interests to absorb the outside stock as fast as
possible.
4 Such establishment would give permsnen
employment TO a number of tamies-would en-
nance the value of property-would make hom
} market for large amount of the wool grown il
n the county, and add in corresponding degree t
e the demand for every kind of farm product in til
vicinity. But it is useless to enlarge upon tn
e benefits to all portions Of the community in th
r establishment of such manufactures. The nesl
. or YOU can bring the producer and the consum,
n together the more profitable becomes the labor
each, Manufacturing communities are the ricl
est communities in the world, and no farmers
l. he world make SO much money OF the san
II mount of land as those in the vicinity of larl
manufacturing centres.
