With ali the bill OF charges annexed?
Way SHOULD YOU not associate To-
gether aud form companies and 20 ex-
tensyely into the manufacture OF
cotton, bringing the iactoy and the
held together, hauling the cotton from
the plantation but lew miles 10 the
factory, and the cloth few miles 10
the store, with no cost Of commissions,
freight, etc.
"Why not DO this, and give 70 A very
large body OF our people profitable en-
plOyment in the factories belonging 10
the farmers who produce the cotton?
Why not take advantage OF the bign
tariff and instead OF letting the profits
60 20 the manufacturers of England
and New England, let them 90 TO the
benefit of our own home manufac-
frGN a
our own home people? Instead of sell
INK your cotton II raw state At 10
cents per pound, why not manufacture
Il at home and sell IL at 25 cents per
pound? And under the operation of
the present law, no doubt the price will
be high enough TO make this possible.
This would add millions TO your wealth.
"And let me remark in this connec-
ton that ! remember no period within
my life when labOrlng man received
a larger sum of money for his DAYS
labor than he does at present, and | re-
member no period when he could buy
as much OF the necessities and con-
venlences of life with the money re-
celyed for his days labor as he can at
present.
"Why not reap all benefits of the
tariff, where you bear its burdens.
"Whv not give our labOrers the full
benefit which may result while this sys-
tenn Is upon US, and thus enable them
10 better their condition. and possibly
by the time the change is made, if our
infant industries have not reached the
period of old age. they may have
reached the period of boyhood or vigor-
Gus manhood.
Il merely throw out these sugges-
tions as to the manufacture of our
cotton at home, that the able and wise
men who are at the head OF the Farm
ers' Alliance, and the vast number of
their associates, may consider il and
avail themselves of the benefits which
Will naturally result to them, or some
one else, during the period OF our high
tariff.
Gas we must bear heavy part of the
burdens, why not have the benefits at
/ home. and retain the money at homei
And why not give to such farmers and
planters as do not engage IN manufac-
turing, and do not labor in the facto-
RES, the benefit of reaching a home
market for all the productions of the
farm, the dairy and the poultry yard.
This question seems to me to be well
worth your consideration, and If the
opportunity IS seized and well improved
l think that New England may, at no
distant day, have cause TO regret very
much the loss of a valuable portion OF
ner commerce in the Southern States,
whose people Will be better supplied at
home, within reach OF their own plan
tatlons and mines, with the productions
of their own factories within their own
