Manufacturing.

We learn from the Faribault Republican,
that at meeting Of the Faribault Board of
Trade, held on the 18th instant, a commit
tee of three members of the Council of
Patrons of Husbandry, namely, Messrs. G..
W. Tower, O. F. Brand and G. &. Fox, ap-
peared as deputies for the purpose OF as
certaining what action the Board were
prepared to take in the matter OF the
establishment of joint stock enterprise
for manufacturing purposes.
The Board Of Trade adopted a resolution
favoring the organization Of stock COM
pany Of $4,000; and a committee was ap-
pointed to take active steps in conjunction
with the Patrons for securing subscriptions.
This is right. Let the country and cities
strike hands in building up home manu-
factories. 1t is the salvation Of the West.
Let the mechanics and the farmers unite
their capital for this purpose. Thus will
the farmers find home markets for their pro-
ducts, the mechanics work for their sup
port, freights will be saved, the necessity of
all shippers, agents and dealers done away,
the farmers will deal directly with the
manufacturers and know what they arc
getting. Business centers will he built,
the wealth Of the State will be increased,
farms will rise in value and farming be
made more profitable.
We join heartily with the editor of the
paper named, in saying: "We regard this
movement as very important and trust that
it may be actively pushed. We believe
that farm machinery can be successfully
manufactured here. and thus many thous-
ands Of dollars saved, and placed in circu-
lation at home that are now sent out Of the
State We hope to see the time not many
years hence, when Minnesota shall not ship
bushel Of wheat without grinding, nor
import an agricultural machine from with
out the State. but will grind her own wheat
and make her own machinery.
