wheat-this part of Kansas is a de.
cided success. Why can't we have
our own factories for cotton, wool
flax, cordage, tinware, paper, hats and
caps, boots and shoes. All ought Ia
be made here net only what we need,
but could supply many of the east.
at less prices and at a profit too, for
the very articles we buy from them.
Here are hundreds of situations for
growing cities not in the mere name.
but in fact. Not in crowded streets
and dirty allies with two or three tam
lilies occupying the same house, but
room enough for every occupant to
have his own cottage, his own lot, his
own kitchen and flower garden, sthis
own vine and fig tree"
A manufacturing town is worth more
to evory community than commercial
one, and Kansas has scores of excel
lent situations with good motive pow
er. Too much that is and has been
made at its villages and would be cities,
is made behiRd and on the counters,
and not behind the loom and upon the
bench tor their own permanent pros
perlty and that OF the surrounding
country. No exclusively agricultural
State is as progressive and prosperous
as one more mixed with manufactures.
If it will pay to raise cotton In the
southern part of this State and Texas,
and ship it 1000 miles to have it made
up, and then 1000 miles back, why will
it not pay better to have it maaufac-
tured here where the raw material is
almost at our doors.
If it will pay to raise sheep by the
million In the Eastern States, on land
worth from $40 to 800 per acre, why
will it not pay much better here where
pastuPage for the million is free?
In many OF the Eastern States they
are new shearing their sheep and in q
few days may be seen there wagon
loads of wool being taken to the facto-
Ties to exchange for their next winters
wear and sell for cash.
When Kansas rightly prospers she
will do that and more too. A.V.
