! in easy reach of the rest of the world.
Factories shall have been establish
ed-the backbone of nearly every city
| in the world-immense canning fac
| tories, to take care of the enormous
produce OF the lands surrounding the
city-which shall have at last been
cultivated.
There shall be tobacco fields in
nearby proximity to yield their part
toward the great power Of commerce
and there MUST be broader
minded set of people, who, in the
strict pursuance of their own business,
shall have outgrown the petty atmos-
phere of the provincial town to the &C
tual exclusion of affairs of other peo-
pie!
There shall he city to be reckoned
with, in short, when Mr. Halleys
comet finally, in, the year 1885, conde-
sends to look things over down here
| once again.
