Oh the subj q of the volume eff manu-
factories in Philadelphia or of the coun-
try at large Mr., DobSOn, to who's 6
letter in the REPUBLICAN, a couple OF
weeks ago Mr. Dean ) is a reply,we pre-
sumo is more able to DO that he is one
of the lea ting manufacturers Of Phila-
delphia as MIR Deanis Of Delaware. These
gentlemen seem TO have studied the
census of 1870, relating to tia indus
tries Of Philadelphia aud have come to
different conclusions. Thus it becomes
a question OF dispute between them
which people viii Judge from their own
standpoint OF knowledge upon the sub.
iect. But a. hlr Deans lengthy reply
is not only for he purpose of correcting
alleged Measurements male by Mr..
Dobson, but evidently for the purpose
of making a political point as we'll, it
brings the dispu-e within the scope OF
editorial Comment, The concluding
para graphs Of Mr., Deans letter, like
the winding ny Of ,e}ture which
closes with All eloquent peroration, is a
direct appea, to the farmers of Della
wale, 10 show ,hat they are taxed to
protect the III 2hlnlGal indu Stri % of
the ountry, ia wlich they have but
little interest waiIe there is no protec-
ton thrown around agriculture. II
strikes us that Mr. Dean in making
his conclusions FROM the census reports
of 1870, from which Mr.. robson also
took his, did not Include as Mr.. Doh
son did the area in aud ar und Philadel-
phia, which brings in Delaware and
Montgomery counties, two OF the larg-
est manufacturing counties in the
State. A t,t.ure u do this on the part
OF Mr.. Dean, makes a difference in
calculation OF 90, 900 900 pounds of wool
or its sub.tirpt.s and of ~ 600 nersors
engaged in manufactures. If Mr.. Dean
will count in D.r,w.r. and Nou.om-
