That policy which secures productive EN-

making the manufacturers OF the naliol
the customers Of the farmer, and the ia,
mers the customers of the manufacturer
If we would be independent in reality Q
other nations, we must encourage agri

market. and secure within ourselves til
capital which results from The manuiac
ture Of our own raw material"
We took occasion while at Tama ccehi
! ly to look over the works now esiablis,le,
there. and have written up The following
article, thinking it would be of lhte .est t
our readers.
