How MANUFACTURES DEVELOP A CITY-A
good illustration of what manufactures will
90 Tor place when encouraged says a Penn
sylyania psper,) is afforded by the fiourishing
Town Of Canton, Ohio, where reapers and
mowers are made. When the inventor was
there few years ago, il was the duliest and
least progressive town in the State, and was
retrograding in wealth and population He
asked for ten thousand dollars from the citi-
zens, to help him start a mandatory They
raised and gave il to him. The following are
the results of the in Investment Two large agri.
cultural implement manufactures, OF ploughs
exclusively, one of stoves and hollow ware,
one of reaper and mower knives, and of sad
dlery hardware, two OF horse rakes, one of
farm wagons, one OF cultiyators, one of
wrought iron bridges, one of soaps, and others
more or less extensive. These are not small
concerns The machine interest alone sup-
ports two thousand five hundred men. The
town has trebled in population, quadrupled
In wealth, besides developing a home market
for farm products which is stimulating pro-
duction and enriching farmers in the country
tributary TO it.
The success Of this experiment affords a hint
as TO what may be accomplished here when the
immense water power of the Potomac is brou ght
into operation. Who will be the first TO set the
ball in motion VIII not our men of wealth
invest some OF their capital in this direction /,
Who will be the Spragues OF Washington and
earn not only satisfactory pecuniary returns,
but what is better, the lasting gratitude of an
entire community II is an anamoly that
with such abundant water power running to
waste, the cotton of the nsighboring South
should go past our doors many hundreds of
miles north, to Maine and Massachusetts,, to
be worked up, and the manufactured goods
brought back here for sale. Labor is cheap
and abundant here. An advertisement in the
STAR the other day, of place paying less than
ten dollars week had answers from six hun
bred and thirty-two applicants! For smaller
manufactures, and indeed for any manufac-
tuning operations, except on the largest scale,
the canal water power at Georgetown is amply
sufficient. and is capable of immediate appliea-
ton. There Il no good reason why the whole
line of the Potomac, from Washington to the
Cir At Falls, should not be devoted to manu.
featuring purposes; and the water power
