" to 10 said that if slavery were
abolished tho South would do its
own IN ;nufacturing, and wo, 1T least,
admitted it agnin and again. One
source Of Now England prosperity is
cut of, and il! seems 10 US wise 10
face tho truth, and soasonab]y con-
slider whittier We are to turn for
compensation. Tor q long time the
tinor fabrics, and the machinery to
mako them, will doubtless continue
to have their hone in New England.
1T is for lis, rs the manufacture Of
the coarser cloths becomes unprofit-
able by reason of Southern competi-
ton, to introduce the manufacture
of finor goods, and great variety
of articles now imported from Eng
land, France, Belgium, Germany and
Switzerland. The worst of it is that
there is in New Hampshire no raw ma
torial Of any kind for extensive
manufactures. It must be up hill
business in more senses than one to
freight such material to Northern
and Western Now Hampshire, and
then freight the goods back. Any
freight tariff not ruinous to railroade
is prohibition Oh such manufac
lures in this part of the State. Of
course Nashua, Manchester and
Dover have all immense advantage
over the rest Of us in this respect.
IF we had cheap fuel. that might
offset this disadvantage. But by
far tho cheapest fuol wo can now
get is coal freighted from Ponnsyl-
vania. You cannot manufacture
anywhere without cheap fuel, and
this cold climate requires good
deal of it. II We are to manufac-
ture ut all, it must DO those articles
which require little frcjghting, and
little fuel. A business has been
lately introduced into Lebanon
which well illustrates this point
the manufacture of watch koys-
which is being carried on success
fully, and will employ about
thirty hands the coming
winter,
You may do something with the
shoe business in Southeastern New
Hampshire, but north of Concord
no ono soems to dare to attempt it.

On what, then must New Hamp-
shire, outside of Buckingham, Straf
ford and the eastern part of Hills
boro counties, mainly depend in the
future for prosperity Upon sum-
mer boarding, Us we think. She has
tho grandest scenery, and, during
five months in tho year, tho best
climate on the continent. With the
present method of doing business in
the cities, it is becoming moro and
more an absolute necessity for busi--

summer vacation in tie country,

ness systematically, and mango it
prudently, can, in our Judgment,
make moro money in five months

business in Now H,mpshiro. But
they must havo land, and raise their
own table supplies manly, and not
receive them daily by express from
Boston. That will never do. There
can and ought to be something
fresh and luscious from tho garden
on the table oyery day from the first
of June through tho season. Two
acres of land thus cultivated, with
your market at your own dinner
table, will afford a better profit than
any twenty-five acres devoted to or
dinary farming. New Hampshire
has tho advantage over every other
State in this particular. If we are
wise we shall recognize our grand
mountain and lake scenery and in
vigorating summer air as the chief
est OF our resources, and utilize
them Dreciselv na Pannav1vo,,;o
