EFFORTS are being made bv the Free
Traders to create sectional enmity be-
tween the eastern and western fiiaflu-
tactnters. But am Happy to inform
you that perfect unanimity of serti-

tween these two scott ions, and HAT there

of al sparhes concerned.
The feeble mutterin OF a clique called
the Free Trade tleAgue Organized in
this country New York city, J is some
times heard in the West, begging for
their efforts fall still=born on the public
ear. The great northwest has proclaimed
herself a power in this nation, and / be-
lteVe that many of the owners of the
thousands of "a factories now in the
East, will in time find it to their
interest to move part of their capital
to points west Of the lakes and the
Mississippi, where they viii find
cheaper land; cheaper food, cheaper
| operatives, and q more ready market
than they now have. The time is not
far distant when the Northwest will
count her manufacturers by the thou
sand, and her farms that are now de
Ginning in fertility, will be recuperated
by the manures collected at contiguous
and numerous factories, in the same
manner that England has raised the
| product of her farms, from ten to thirty
bushels of wheat per acre.
| The circulation of the publication we
have printed, has had the effect of
bringing a large proportion of the
western press to see that it is their in
terest as well as their duty to MD us in
the propagation OF. our views. Il
An auxiliary association was formed
in this city, soon after our. last meet
ing ut Chicago, under the auspices of
Mr.. A. B. Stone and his co-laborers,
fruits over the Whole State of Ohio, and
4 perhaps will reach into Virginia, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and part Of Indiana.
1 The importance of these auxiliary asso-
Citations is manifest. They reach,
through local personal effort, many in
dfViduals who otherwise would be left
in ignorance of our views, and the ne
| cessity for action.4 Pittsburg, Cleve-
land, Plattsburg and other points, fur
nish examples by their cooperative
unions, which it is exceedingly inn
/ pOrtantto have initiated in oil parts Of
the Union.
Importntions from Europe have large
/ ly increased. during the past three
months. Hut little gold has been eX-
ported, the large balances due on for
1 eign bills being paid by the export OF
! United States bonds, A slight improve
Inent has recently taken placein the iron
and steel trade, but a general depression
still exists throughout the country.
! Our national finances will! hoat along
easily so long us the government CON
itinues disbuTsing largely and our bonds
\ are freely taken in payment of Euro
lpean balances. But when both of these
elements cease to operate, as they sure
j ly must, all prudent business men VIII
4 use the propriety of exercising more
y than ordinary caution, MS the aecumu,
llation of a huge interest bearing deb
in Europe cannot fail to produce ulti-
mate stringency in money, and stagna
ton in all kinds of business. =
As our organization has kept itsel
I free from all combinations aiming al
increasing the prices of any class O
