How THE Factory HELPS THE
FAnM.-''It will cost you bushel Of
wheat to send another to New York mar
ket," wise one remarked to a Western
colonist.
ave don't intend to send our. wheat
to New York." was the reply, We are
putting up mills to grind it for home
consumption"
These colouis;s are on high road to
success. They will not only make wheat,
but ut tho same time market We at
the South should be willing to learn a
lesson from the West in this matter. We
make cotton. Can we not also make a
home market for it, aud thus make the
factory help the farm? On this point
the following remarks from the New
York Tribune are worthy of thoughtful
attcntion;
'The introduction Of manufactures
into, agricultural communities brings to-
getlfef tho essential elements Of wealth.
producing enterprise, establishing the
shortest circuit of communication. This
is in accordance not only with the laws
of political economy, but of that higher
order whereby Nature conducts the COM
merce Of the material world. The farm
er and manufacturer each have needs
which the other supplies; and to bring
the two into ouch close connection that
exchanges can be made with the least
possible cost, is saving that must COM
mend itself to the dullest mind. If our
grain eau be bartered for cloth made
within sight ef the field where it grew,
that is plainly better deal than send
ing the same grain to Liverpool to pay
for faorics woven in Yorkshire.
'The factory adds value to the farm
by affordipg home market. A home
mark ct saves the charges, risks and waste
oGious carriage the profits Of iaicryen-
ing HEdeiss sali'l lsYsei
turns, and gives mcrchnntablc worth q
products that will not pay such charges.
Better still, a home market is sure
market, little subject to the fluctuations
incident TO foreign demand. Regular
home consumption steadies prices, drive,
ont speculation, aud gives to intelligent
forcthought u basis for reasonable calsu
lation."
