A enlomstrnnce.

Mr. EDIToR:-I was pleased with the larger
portion of Mr.. Wells's article in recent is
sue of the Press on Maine as manufacturing
State. His darect arguments are all very well
put. Maine has undoubtedly, the natural fea-
lures requisite to her becoming great manu-
featuring State.
But when Mr.. Wells undertakes to strength
en- his Legitimate arguments by throwing doubt
upon her capabilities in other directions, i'm
plying that Maine is not adapted to other
branches ofindustry, We are compelled to rem
onstrate.
In ship-building her facilities are pre-emin-
emit; the amount of our tonnage built, surpass-
ing that of any other State, in proportion to
population.
In numbering, our resources will continue
ample for many years, and the business must
be large and profitable.
But what offends me most is my friend
Wells's slur upon the short season and the
"infertility of our SOIL; as if Maine cannot be-
| come great agricultural State Mr. Wells,
with his well-known facility in that direction,
illustrates his position by reference to some "re-
gion" where he summered among the rocks: ga
region, over ten acres of which crasshopper
might look with tears in his eyesp All, my
dear Mr.. Wells, seem to see" that rare face
of yours expanding into broad smile with the
fine fancy of that tear-eyed grasshopper; little
thinking what an impression would be made
upon strangers mind in reading it'll
Now, then, without stopping at this moment
for any details of argument or special statis-
tics, am bold to assert that Maine has most
generous agricultural resources; producing in
| abundance all the great staples of our latitude,
and requiring only skillful cultivation to show
| the most satisfactory results While our noun
talns, lakes and streams furnish the best of wa
Ter power, our river intervales and uplands pro-
duce nay, grain, corn and potatoes with all ease
and aDundanee,-and higher up, the greenest
and sweetest Of pasturage. The valleys of the
Androscoggin, Kennebec and Penobscot show
as handsome farms as any other norton of
New England, while the lands of the Aroostool,
or st. John are not surpassed in depth and rich
ness by those of the prairies. And if you will
come up into the valley of the Sandy River,
with your hungry grasshopper, you will soon
wipe that tear from his eye and confess, with
a tear in your eye that on have wronged your
state, by talking of the sterility of her SOIL
