We cannot do this great work in day or
. month. Az the e'eat csk springs from
the little ac0r0, % the greatness Of human
achievements originated from the most
oomm"n tlirgs. The acorn sprouts and
slowly pslshee lis small shoots upsards until
they form . hrge trunk, with broad branches
able to re.ist the mighty tornadoss snd tenn
p-sts. Msn builds his greatest works little
BY little. Tie most colossal fortunes, the
greatest manufacturing enterprise of the age,
were completed little by little; II was slow
at first, but sure and steady. Shakspeare tells
u there is tide in the Affairs of men, 10 there
is tide in the afsin Of cities; If L,aven-
worth will take il Al its food il will leave all
iis rivals far in the distance.
The Western pr.'blem: This question
which is pre-e' tel to the people Of the
West, and one which they are anxious to
solve, is how Can they fod market for 'heir
grain at living prices. To the thinking
mind the accomplishment OF this object is
evident; they must build m.nufactorie.
among themselves, thus creating large food
consuming population Who are not food pro-
ducers; manufacturing population are -
much Consumers Of meat ~ OF bread. There
IL no part Of Ou- vast country where corn,
wheat, beef and pork can be produced 80
readily and 90 cheaply as on the rich
plains Of Kansas, at the same time there is
no part of our country but the South which
vi grow cotton at such profits - to ex-
clude the idea Of any other crop; they can
better afford to buy corn than raise IT Kan
sas can send their grain to them and should
receive their cotton in exchange. In the
delightful climate Of K; Mas. the cotton
couli be Manufactured with n equal readi-
ness a. in New England. Ii New England
can afford to haul wheat, corn, beef and
pork from Kansas, cotton from the
South, and coal from Pennsylvania, We see
no reason Why Kansas cannot afford TO haul
cotton from Texas. 500 miles nearer, n
from ten to fifteen cents lers than New
England gets it, and perhaps from her
southern counties We want the factories,
with their looms and spindles; around them
will gather the living beings who must tend
and direct the mschinery!A No country can
become permanently wealthy and prosperous
which is no, in part, at least, manufactur-
ing region. The vast plains of Kansas
invite the production Of sheep. and with
them ia opened to the manufacturer another
means Of employing the loom and the spin
die; and We might 20 still further and speak
of farming implements and machinery.
Each and every character oi manufacturing
can be mAde to aid In giving . favorable
solution to the question which nov worries
the minds of the Graneers, "What shall We
do? Will it pay to raise corn any longer ?'
As manufactures Increase farmers Will hnd
more demand for their products; all kinds
of produce poultry, eggs and butter will
hnd ready market, showing the workings
OF the two combined interests, agriculture and
manufactures. Divide these two great leading
interests OF our country and adopt the free
