PLANTATION:
Capital invested in manufactures in

and taxation for a period of ten wears,
This is one of the provisions of the Consti.
tuition OF 1879 which will he of material
advantage to the State. If Louisiana
would grow rich she must have capital in
vested III manufactures and manufacture
her raw material at home, and in order to
invite capital to our State the Constitu-
tlon of 1879 adopted tho above wise and
JudlciOus provision. With the obove "a
vorable terms extended to capitalin invested
IN manufacture it would seem that this
State would soon have large umsinyested
IN building and founding factories of vari-
GUS Kinds. But before We sould engage in
manufacturing to any advantage We must
nave railroad communication between the
different portions Of the State, and with
other States. This there is at present
more probability of our having than there
mas been at any time in the past, With
railroad facilities and capital largely in
vested i'll manufacture our State would
soon grow to be a rich and powerful State.
We doubt if there is another State in
INC whole broad expanse of this country
which affords such inducements to capital.
lst to invest in manufactures, than this
provision of the Constitution of 1879. Al
ready the spirit Of railroad building bas
invaded our domain. Lines are being
constructed and projected through the
richest and most productive portions of
Louisiana, and very short period will
witness a perfect network of these iron
highways within its limits. Their estab-
IlsAment means influx Of population, the
Investment of capital and facilities for
travel and traffic. With the incoming Of
these there would open an era of activity
and prosperity unequalled in any other
State in the Union. Let capital build
factories so much needed here, and they
will not fail to prove greatly remunera.
