Home Aaaaf afacture.-This great suppor-
ter Of country, are We Us whole doing
anything in this State toward introducing
zig among us2 I am sorry to say no. We
fnever have tried; VIC never gave helping
hand and cheering word towards introduc-
ing it here. Yes, there are few exceptions,
among our editors, who in their papers
sometimes try to awake the mind of the
people, and some few mechanics from the
North who have lmmigrated here, and who
are working hard against the stream in lay
ling the foundation of home industry
Many amongst you will say, "We get things
ESQ cheap from the. North that it would be
kno use to try'to compete with the North"
This shows how little confidence VIC have
ia.eufselS apd how small an opinion we
feasFusv OF the richness of our soil. which in
every way is so lavishly bestowed on us by
Mother Nature.
am young in years, but have seen the
| world, and in my fifteen years of travel, in
which have ramblcd all over this great
Union, from east tC west, from north to
south, over Mexico, South America, Aus
tralia, Africa, China and over the whole of
the European continent, [ have never seen
better, Il healthicr and, for manufactures,
more suitable country than the upper part
Of South Carolina.
Water Powcrs.-Find me a country
where there is such an abundance of natu-
raj water power, large and powerful enough
to run all the factories in the Northern
States, and What arc W. doing towards using
them? Nothing, my friends

for years until you get convinced that not
farming alone, but home manufactures, too,
will help to make this State the banner
State Of the Union. My friends, shall the
waters, natures great gift, still longer run
idly without paying us their tribute? Is
not our State gifted with all the materials
necessary to utilize these waters
Forests dnd TimJerS.-See our forests |!
The pine trees are waiting for the axcmen
to fell them to be hauled to the saw mill,
moulding and planning machines, there to be
turned into prepared lumber, with which to
build aud furnish for us comfortable houses
and furniture. Now, instead of the luxury
OF comfortable home, we live in log huts,
and the soft side of q rough plank is our
bed There, too, are the oak and hickory,
also waiting to be cut and manufactured
into spokes, fclloes, pick and axe handles,
wagons, DC. The willows on the creeks
grow and die where idle hands might be
employed in basket work.
CoHOn-What are we doing with our
cotton? ? We sell it to the North or to
England to be worked into different cotton
fabrics, and in the latter shape it comes
back to us again, and we, as a good people,
knowing no better, pay all the freight, com
mission, manufacturing cost and other cx-
pcnscs, with a heavy interest, and admire
the wonders Of the water powers of the
North, which, with the help of machinery,
are made from the fruits of our soil and
with our money. How many people could
we not employ in such enterprise Well,
my friends, the time is hope not far away
when we will make our own prints and
other fabrics, and give our Northern friends
a chance to buy from u.s.
]o0l-How much wool yearly leaves
our State, bought from us at trinc? We
buy this wool back again at enormous price
in the shape of wooden goods such as cloth
ing, blankets, hats, &c. Many of you wear
today a pound Of wool in the shape of a
Hampton or Tilden hat, the original cost of
which was thirty cents, and now perhaps
costs you $3. Is it worth two, three or four
dollars to make such hat? | guess not.
Wics.-How many hides arc yearly ship.
ped to Baltimore and New York to be re-
turned again in leather or in tie shape of
boots and shoes? And what kind of an
