OUR MANIFEST DESTINY $

Our manifest destiny is not to be simply 8 great agricultural nation. but to build up the richest and most bene- ficent varied industry and commerce in the world.
 We have exaustless coal beds, con- vertible into exhaustless power; and iron, lead copper and the precious metals, eXbaustless also. We have a broad land of varied wealth, cotton and wool and food. With these gifts of a beneicent Creator, we must build up 8 diversity of occupations, giving complete scope to all powers of body and brain, opening employ to all and helping to a higher civilization.
 We must train our skill, and develop our artistic taste, or we fall behind in the great and peaceful strife of national industries. To be dull laggards in this noble emulation would be sore disaster, keeping us down to poverty of life, few employmen;s, bankruptcy and depend ence. Let the settled policy of our Gov ernment be to protect our industry, and thus develop our great resources and the genius of our people, and we shall show such results in character and wealth and finest skill as the world has never seen. Without such policy we shall grope on in darkness and confu- sion, the giants trampling the pigmies under foot, and all liking at random to each others harm.
 Under the old conditions in the South, agriculture and that almost wholly Of one kind, in the cotton field-Was the leading and exclusive occupation. The fact was a blight on the life of the people, and the fortunate hour has come when it is being cured.
 Ia New England there WAS wide range of industries, with what result let another tell. At .the Fair O. the New England Agricultural Society. in Brat tleboro, Vt, in 1866, Hon. John 4. An drew, Governor of Massachusetts, eloquently said:
 I desire to attract the observation of this body of intelligent agriculturists to the subject of the diversifcation of in- dustry, ln its relation to the prosper ty of the American farmer. l can do little more than remind you that while population has grown beyond prece- dent, wealth has advanced beyond popu- lation; that in proportion as our indus try has become diversified, our capacity to purchase and enjoy the fruits of the earth has been much more than cores pondingly enlarged; and that the union Of the people in common purpose to de- yelop all their powers, by whatever means, whether intellectual or mechsDi- ! cal, is the secret of their own growth, and the amelioration of the estate of m n.
 Better fed, with more fulluess and variety; better clad, in more garments, and those more pleasing to the sense of beauty; better sheltered, by houses more commodious, and in styles of more tasteful architecture, and more endur- iug quality; with more books and news papers, and larger pubic libraries; en- toying incomparably more avenues and better means for travelling, and for transportation of goods; with ample crops and better prlces than ever be- fure-this very Commonwealth does, in its own current history, afford the proof
 { the advantages of our American aim
 the largest conquest over all the
 smains of industry.
