PROF. TURNER'S PLAN.
At the Bloomington Anti Monopoly Con.
vcntiou. Prof. Turner, Of Jacksonville, argued
at considerable length that the true
md only ade4uase remedy against TRIMS
portatiou e1tortlon ia for the people
Of Illinois to so multiply mAnutae-
tories .as to consume tbeir surplus
agricultural products within The State, IN
stead Of shipping them 10 markets abroad.
Advice Of thus sort POUNDS we'll In theory and
Is easy to give, and many plausible arguments
may be advanced In its favor. Nevertheless
IL is wholly imprncticable and dclusive, rs
Gun readily be shown
in the first place, the present agricultural
production Of Illinois al The very lowest csl-
culation, is double her Consumption Most
people would estimate 1t at treble the con-
sumption. The present population Is 2 ,oo55o,-
900. To consume our agricultural products
would 4herc{ore require I'M -nddition: 10, the
town population, equal to xAirsees cities Of the
size Of Chicago. Hall the inhabitants Of New
York, Philadelphia; Boston, Baltimore and
Pittsburgh welc 10 transport themselves into
our State, they would not more than suffice
10 consume the com. wheat, cattle and hogs
produced In nllnios In excess Of our pres-
ent local wants. Second, What manufactures
could BE- conducted to profitable advantage
within this State, that would require the
labors Of two and quarter millions Of Ar
tisans.
