To my mind, the rcyer.e- which have
come upon Maine seem To be the result
not chiefly Of natural, but Of artificial
conditions. We all know that In some
things New England Il at q disadvantage
as compared With the West. She has a
long, cold winter, and, consequently,
a short summer. She has thin, hard
soil, not capable of yielding, for equal
labor, as large returns Ia the agriculiur-
lat, as are obtained from the soil of Wis
consin, or Iowa, ar Illinois. hut she
has one great advantage that the farmer.
of the western states do not enjoy, aud
that should largely Offset her dIsadvan-
tages. This advantage is proximity Ia
market.
Proximity to market Il 90 the farmers
