The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1879-08-02

industrial leader; that exporters of raw
products (as America) pay all the taxes,
by separation of consumer and producer,
growing dependent--w while manufacturers
las France )-by labor-get independ-
ent:--truths which are fully exemplified
by England's manufactures in 1873, viz:
OF raw cotton, fax, hemp, jute, silk and
wool imports (269 9-Io millions dollars
when manufactured, gave 1886 4-Io mil
lions, and profits to said industries of near
ly 1000 millions, showing manufactures
as yielding FIVE profits to one in agricul-
ture But they are also proved by the
1879 manufacturing exports, per capital,
viz: America, $I,35; England, $I5,S2,
and France, $3.50. Hence Frances man
ufacture exports 1883 were seven times
and England's fourteen times those of
Americas; proving that manufactures are
the strength of England and France, and
the 7oeakness of America
In 1873, of Americas exports, exclu-
ding specie, $737155,o1I, I3o5 millions or
1914 per cent, were food, and 900 mil
lions, or 1868 per cent raw products: to-
gether, Cos millions, or oo.o7 per cent.
Manifestly, by shipping more of these
than surplus, we cheat our people, leav-
ing them idle and starving, while employ
ing and feeding the world!
A more criminal plan is Uncomfortable.
This reversed, would give national pros
perity through labor: Webster's 'ssource
of all wealth."
AS said, 900 millions raw products,
when manufactured, will bring 1900 mil
iiors: clearly we lost on same 1900 mil
| lions.
The fruit of this mine. in twenty months,
would give sum nearly extingushing our
public debt on May I, 1879:

"A radical change in manufactures is
near. The folly of shipping raw products
over continents and oceans, to be returned
manufactured at an increased cost of zoe
/ per cent, and the wisdom of manufactur-
ing them right where raised: flax and
hemp, West; and cotton, jute, and ramie
South, are now apparent. The plan Of
bringing people to products, rather than
products to people, would employ mil
lions, saving millions of dollars.
/ Free traders wrongly urge selling ou1
cereals for foreign manufactures: till ag
riculture fails to employ or to pay-wher
help may come from home manufacturers
As keen suffering must precede this (seer
by our State since 1879 clearly we should
press Home Manufactures! .astl

HOME VERSUS FOREIGN TRADE.
The vast value of home over foreign
trade appears from u. S. corn, oats, ane
wheat, analysis of II years, ISo5-77, viz
1. OF I3,oz7,742, I4S bushels corn raised
said time, only 333, I66,o44, or 2.55 pc
cent, where exported, leaving IL ,6o4,576,
Io4, or o7.45 per cent, for home consump
ton. The home corn consumption o
1877 1907 ITO millions bushels wa
thrice the exports of fifty years, IS26-'75
4o3 $40 millions. 1t would need IL
;. years said exports to make one, 1877
years home consumption.
2: OF 1891 ,oo4o75 bushels oats raises
said time, only $685. 80, or o.26 per cent
were exported, leaving 3,o71, 1S5 ,S42, o
a9.74 per cent, for home consumption.

So, bushels, to make one years, 1877;
home consumption, 4oI Lilo million
bushels. 81. st.E sa -s.
3. Of 5,6o1,713 bushels wheat raise
said time, only COL, S44565, or 1854 pc
cent, were exported, leaving 2, 64S757, los
, or 81 40 per cent, for home consumption
The home wheat consumption for fiv
years, 1871, 1,S4173.S64 bushels, wa
nearly twice the exports of said thrice
years '65-77, or 10000, 900, bushels NOR
than the wheat exports of fifty years, 49,
rs, 1,o62,4 15,747 bushels.
f. Of19,954,4o7953 bushels, the aggre
gate of said crops raised at said time, onl
44,SSS, S39, or Alb per cent, were export
ed, leaving 10000, 51o,11 or 1921 pc
cent, for home consumption. 1t woul
need 2o4 years said exports to make sal
home consumption. 5t 4-.s - #aa aa

of home over foreign trade and America
;, loss in not further fostering manufacture
; the bulwalks of England and France.
6. In 1873, of exports, only 90 s. 10 mi
lions of dollars, OF S.24 per cent, of Amer
ica's, while 600 3-1o millions of dollars, c
;, 1928 per cent, of England's, and 373 Al
:, millions of dollars, or $40 per cent, c
Frances were manufactures. So #

Americas, only 40 $40 millions of do
. lars, or o.33 per cent, of England's, an
SO 4-1o millions of dollars, or 1o-o2 pc
cent, of Frances, were manufacturers.
