that this fact is being appreciated.

The census OF 1850 showed that
there was twice as much capital in-
vest. 4 in the principal manufactures
of tue State AS ther. WAS "a 1870.
Doubtless the census of 1890 Will
show even gr alter ratio of increase.
The indications are decidedly that
way. This property IN manufacture

every other direction. and wall bs
recognized as the harbInger of q
new aud better era, IN which the
State will he greater IN every re
spect than she has ever been before
, The weakness of North Carolina II
the past has been peculiarly upon
, this point. The State has been too
! exclusively agricultural. Very ht

duced for sale 10y our people, exeep
the products of the farm; and IL
: products that have been sold froI
:. the farms have. on certain lines an
TO "A considerable extent. made ia
h State poorer instead of richer. Th
4 wealth of the State must com
:. through mechanical and manuia'
!, turing channels, and not thIong
& products of the farm: the history
,e the past abundantly proves thi
n. fact. The increase, therefore, {
II the manufactures IN our midst is q
as evidence of the present and CONT
ne prosperity of the State.
