gentleman erroneoEslys states) ,sthen 1t
viii give some confidence and courage
:" men having money to invest.
Therefore, laid the matter before the
Assembly, and l was fortified in doing
so by the following reasons: The mag
nlhcent benefits inuring to the country
| % folo hn
| and other pioneer railroads, and other |
objects of Congressional sympathy and |
aid, sanctify in the eyes of all wise and |
Judicious statesmen the expenditure of
the public funds for their initiatory en-
cOuragement; and the reason will cover
an objection that might be raised,
such as that mooted by the
article in question, that if the in
dustry will bear its own weight
1t should not receive legislative aid.
And l also saw that the sum OF SIC, 900
alone would not by capitalists be con-
sidered worthy of the name OF allure
ment, when it would require the invest
ment of $120, geo to earn it.
My attention is drawn to an idea in
the article in question, that IF sugar
making we're branch of industry nee
esssry to the public security, would
|
vide for It's establishment even though
it cost more to establish the industry
than it produced" II tie gentleman
means the physical security to be OBJ
TUNED from military resources, forts,
d. tences, cannon, soldiers, ETC., l can
hold up before him the example OF the
British nation, who but little over a
century ago must have remained but q
fourth rate power if 1T had not grappled
with the difficulties of the situation,
and if its statesmen had not induced the
manufacturers to come to the front,
and employ the unemployed labor then
wandering aimlessly through the coun-
try; and the power thus utilized,
coupled with the use of the steam en-
CINE, raised England from fourth
her manufactures that have made
her capable of providing security for
herself at home and for her colonies
and dependencies abroad, which have
sailed her ships in all waters and paid
her armies and na7ies TO make her flag
respected in every land aud on every
sea. If the gentleman means security
of the negotiable kind, | ASK him where
is there better security than the fac
Iories and workshops and plantations
watch furnish labor to thousands and
which consequently thousands are IL
tsTested in maintaining free from debt?
L the gentleman means security OF in
dependence, | ask wnere can be found |
1 better bulWark than being self-sus-
taibing and therefore self-dependent?
Ii he means the security OF morals,
p int out to him the busy hum of in
d lstry, the gliding motion of powerful
ia, hinery, the rattle of the factory,
the nimble fingers employed at the
loom, and the brawny muscle at the
forge; show him the plowmen in the
ieId and the warehouseman On thu
wharf, and | ask where is room for =
INN orality where all are thus EN- :
p'oyed; show him the well-flled and
VI ell-officered and appointed school
room, where flock the cail-
dren of parents, who being en-
nioyed themselves can afford to pay G
for the proper care and tuition OF their !
children. Surely Ian idle brain is the i
aeYil's Workshop" and lack of employ T
nent is the baue of society, and largely
tends to render necessary the insane S
asylum and reform school. 1t is better
to legislate away the necessity for these a
Institutions than to tacitly provide the e
inmates and then clothe them in purple
and fine linen. t
The gentleman himself Is doubtless | e
provided from inconvenience behind +
the bulwark of handsome salary, q
with his ability, and if t
be had occupied the position of the II
" ritter for the past twelve months and t.
had faced many hundred weary and d
1aggard countenances asking for work, .
and only able to employ about five out q
# each hundred applicants, he would Il
probably be more willing to endorse
he putting in practice OF e theory that
would alleviate the pain and humilia- a
ION of countless hundreds. And u hen o

,llcant for work, it requires little imag y
nation 10 follow that tace to its home,

wife and mother watching to discover
ven by the steps of the father whether
le haG obtained work; and then the
children running in the streets, no \,
