WHEx the PLANTATION BIrrERs were first
made known to the American people some
seven years ago, it was supposed they were
an entirely new thing, and had never be-
fore been used. So far ~ their general
use in thu United States is concerned, tais
may be true. II is also true that the same
Bi,tsrs were made and sold in the Island
of st. Thomas, over forty years ago. as any
cid planter. merchant or sea captain doing
business With the West ladies will tell you.
1t is distinctly within my recollection that
on the return Of my father (who was sea
captain, and doing all extensive trade in

BACKWARDS OR F sRwARps.-Cities never
stand still, bur unlike revelations, they
sometimes 50 backwards. Our city has
reached point in her history where there
is need Of extra exer.ion 10 make her hold
hsr own, and grow with that steady grow tn
necessary to mske her the leading city Of
the state. We already have = large retail
trade, larger than any other city 10 the
State, and the things most needed nov are
maaufacturing and wholesale houses. Facts
bear out the asse -tion, that every manufac.
turing establishment, and every wholesale
house in the city 10 making money, Ard
every year extending their trade over more
territory, and yet IT . great disadvantsgs.
People wonder why it is that Davenport,
with all its facilities for manufacturing,
and its favorable location for commanding
the trade Of the northwest, does not do it.
What manufacturer or business man is GO
ing to invest fifty or a hundrsd thousand
dollars in Davenport, when there is no way
to send his wares over the country! Why
cannot cotton be brought uD the river and
manufactured in Davenport, ~ well - to
be taken to Massachusetts,. Surely there
is western capital energy. and brains suf
ficient fer the emergency. Yet such things
are not done, and for the very simple rea
con, that like the cities Of John Chinaman,
We are hemmsd in, not by massive ma
sonry, but by one Of the richest and finest
countries above ground. The time has come
for rs to choose "back wards OF fsrwardsv
More railroad communications, more room

the land owner and surplus capital.

At all for these things and yet they are the
stepping stones to the city's prosperity,
and individual wealth, without which II 10

SHIELD WooLEx MiLLs.-Our citizens
oil have e sort Of lawful pride in this popu-
lar establishment, and are never tired Of
hearing Of its prosperity. Most Of them
have but little idea Of the amouat Of goods
daily manufactured, and the constant run
that is being made upon ito resources. Be
it known then, that the daily average Of
goods that are passed into the salssroom
from the finishing department 10 not less
than Eve hundred yards. The mill 10 run
ming daily until half past nine in the eve
ming, thus making day and quarter Of
time. One would naturally suppose that
three thousand yards Of homemade goods
would supply this market, and that Mr..
Shields would Hnd no difficulty in filing
his orders. This 10 mistake. Though be
entered upon the fall trade with . pretty
heavy accumulation Of stock. made up du
ring the more quiet summer term, he il per-
picked every day to make out goods enough
to Gill the orders. The retail trade 10 very
heavy. and many days consume more goods
than he can manufacture. All this proves
thai home manufactures are not disregard
ed in Davenport. The people understand
that be is making superior articles Of Ca.si
meres, F.annels, Blankets, Yarns, 4c., and
they are not at all slow to make it known.
