Markets were closed, and our sales stopped. In our own dis trict nearly everything stopped. Some say the tariff did not do it. What did, then? We want to diversity our industries. We have immense resources. We ship every year to New England things that we should make S70, ,000, ,0o0 annually out of. Hale and Perry have immense deposits of min eIal, and it should be developed. There is greater riches in those counties than in auy county in this district. There is one point on which the democrats have gotten ahead of us, and we don't want to rival them in that. It is a s-t-e-a-i plant.
