Where the West Finds It's Market.
The Chicago Tribune presents the fol-
lowing interesting facts, which deserve the
attention of every man interested in West
ern enterprise and progress:
Exclusive Of cotton, rice, cane sugar snd
molssses, which are not Western products
the United States exported in the Year end,
ing June 80, 1850, to all foreign countries
S6l ,89l, ,042. Exclusive Of the same p-o-
ducts the Western States produced 40 per
cent. of the whole agricultural product Of
the Union Assuming that the West ex.
ports in the same ratio that it produces,
and We have foreign market for $24 s00,-
900 of the value of all agricultural articles
produced in the Western States.
As the total agricultural production Of
the Western States is sbOut ], I59 millions,
of which say 259 millions may be deduct
ed for the value of farming implemenis
animals held for use improvement, wear
anc tear, &c, there Temsin 900 millions for
consumption in the producing States, and
for market in other States and foreign
countries. It therefore appears that the
proportion Of the market furnished By the
United States for our produce, compared
with that furnished by all foreign countries,
is as $37 90 to 81 90. If we inquire where
this market is found, we discover that
the same year the manufacturers Of pig

The complete statistics for 1860 on other
trades are not msde up, but those of 1850
range thus; Bakers l3 millions, black
smiths l6 millions, csbinet ware II mill
lions, calico printing IA millions, tsiloW
10 millions, clothiers and tsilors
48 millions, carriage makers IL millions,
distilleries l6 millions, hats and caps IL

millions. Estimating SO per cent IS the
average increase on these figures from 1850
to 1860, and we have the sum of 1857 OOO,-

total for that year to $l,O20,00O,000, or
about the equivalent of the entire sgricul-
tural product Of the Western States. A
very large portion Of the value of these
manufactured products consists in the
western food which entered into them, and
for which they paid. But beside the man.
ufacturing classes, the numbers engsgedin
commercial, financial and professional pur-
suits are included among the food coBsu-
mers. But the peculisrity of the msnufac-
turing class is, that they are not only COM
psting in the market to make the farmers
produce dearer, but to make the farmers
clothing and other articles of purchase and
enjoyment, cheaper.
Nothing, therefore, can be palmer than
fha- a-anAi-.-a..ss----s-a-t.--
between the manufacturing and farming
classes, and their absolute dependence on.
each other for market. Those who sup
pose. therefore, that the manufacturing in-
terests Of the country can be broken down
without breaking down the farming inter-
ests by the same blow, or that the former
can be built up without building up equally
the latter are wholly in error,
