speech at the Courthouse to a lerge au

the cause of the growth and prosperity

Its trade, and that the country which
supports it must itself be in prosperous
condition before we can look for any
progress in town built up by its trade
and commerce. He here gave some
good advice and counsel to the farmers
contrasting the imperfect tillage and the
want OF labor~saying implements Of our
country with the deep and thorough
preparation and cultivation Of other Io>
calities, showing conclusiveIy, that we
should not expect even as good results
as we have attained.
In connection with the profits OF
farming, his arguments were conclusive
that the exactions required of labor, by
transportation upon costly railroads were
greater than the profits resulting from
even judiciouslY directed labor cou Z
