Tbojnnltiiilluity of small manufac
tures In the North and West is a
so urea of iK'i'i'cimil astonishment to
the inlml itants of those sections, as
much as to those of less enterprising
regions. Year by year the number
of sttmll establishments which are
rapidly creeping up to the dignity id’
great ones increases so largely that
the statistics are startling. Nor is
this confined to any sf>ecial locality,
where, for instance, agriculture
would yield but sorry profit, or
where the populations are mainly
foreign—from manufacturing town's
in the Old World. On the contrary,
this marked increase is quite as per
eeptible in those Western and North
eastern States where agriculture nays ]
large profits, as in those where hard i
winters and narrow boundaries make j
the labor of the farmer fruitless and
his life full of harassing perplexities. I
In Illinois and Missouri, where ugri- j
culture.certainly will pay if it will]
anywhere in the world, manufactu
ring lias already taken front rank
among industrial pursuits. Those
two great States, whose millions of
fertile acres will yield almost evert
pyoduct possible in a Northern elf
mate, have dotted their territory with j
smart towns, in which the fabrica
tion of useful articles to be sold in
the neighborhood Is engaged in with
as muen energy and pertinacity us in
any New England town. The people
who once eoushlered manufacturing
plebeian are now proud to earn their
oread, as well as some huge profits,
by means of it.
In a single town in Illinois, a town
containing, perhaps, twenty-live hun
dred dwelling houses, there are at
least six score manufactories of nil
grades. Vast numbers of agricultu
ral implements are annually made
there, and, we dare say, are shipped
South to planters who ought to be
able to buy them from manufacturers
in towns not more than ten to twen
ty miles from their plantations. This
busy Illinois village also makes ma
chinery, furniture, gloves and mit
tens; ui> windi- streets of (louring
mills, and sends into the market all
varieties of paper. At the same
time it is prosperous in an agricultu
ral sense. It managed to ship more
than three hundred thousand bush
els of grain, nearly a million pounds
of butter, and thousands of cattle
and swine, during the year just past.
It is needless to say that money is
plenty and circulates freely in that
town in Illinois ; that the streets are
handsome, well paved and lighted,
ami lined with elegant residences;
and that the savings banks are nu
merous and in good condition And
this tow n would serve as an Illustra
tion of the condition of thousands in
the Eastern and Western States.
Tito spirit of New England is not con
filioil to her "bleak hills,” as they
are sometimes called. It has perme
ated the greater (Kirtion of tlie Uni
ted IStutes.
There is no good reason why ugri
culture and mum duet tire should not
go hand in hand thoroughout the
South its in the West; no reason why
the Southern people should not see
their villages thrive and blossom on
tbe profits accruing from small man
ufacturers, hist as those in New Eng
land do. The Mouth only needs to
learn thoroughly the lesson which
the example of the Illinois town
mly teach it. There are hundreds
of ahhentabllshed settlements in
many of the Southern States which ,
possess finer facilities for manufac
turing than many of the most pros
perous towns in the East and West.
There is better water-power uud a
greater supply of it, there is cheap
labor in abundance; there are kindly
skies and fruitful soils, which make
food cheap and life agreeable, in j
greater measure than in higher
latitudes. Jet the Southern commu
nity rulquius moneyless, discontent
ed, forlorn; their young won leave]
in desjMiir, and migrate to "fresh
fields and tUMtures new;” and they
fall into greater decay year by year.
They do not start manufacturing en
terprises “because they have no eap
yet they will find that the
greater number of establishments in
the Eastern ami Western cities are
smalt, arid were started by Individu
als, or in many eases by families, on
almost no capital at all. A person
begins by making a few plows for his,
jjjtjghbora; year by year his business
kcs>uiup larger proportions, until lie
lias ii ma'mmoth factory anil sup
lilies a dozen counties. An tndustri
bfis funnily, desirous of getting on in ;
the world, makes clothing, or gloves,
pr hats. The profits of one year are
used to enlarge the business, arid in a
few twelvemonths another ' manufno
tory” is established. This is the way
J>roß|>erons towns are built up. Tt is
liocause each one works, turning his ot
her industry into a hundred different
ehauuelo for the common weal, that
ijiich thriving oommiinities as the II
fifiqis tiiwn are springing up by scores
and hundreds in the North. It is very
easy to build up just such commu
nities in the South. The planters and ,
farmers of the Southern States need
but tpvo things to insure their mate
rial prosperity; these are ioenl man
ijfactures, that they may not be com : ,
t s<Jlud to aw‘i 4*l tljuir money thou
sands of miles a way out of their see
tion for every article which they need ; ]
and the production on their own soil
of the myriad articles of food, which
they now laboriously get from the
North and West, But local pianufae
turee are their prime need ; and they
must learn to create small enter
prises, just tvs they were created in
tha liliiitiis town, by individual
thrift ami indus try. A. Y. Time". i

A short time since a well-known
gentleman of Mobile received three
tickets in afiiit Concert Association,
and a circular informing him that
the three tickets were sold for $2. and
Unit he could sell two of them for
tlmbnmtittip: ami keep tin- other for
life tt'jaiye. or keep all of them and
remit the *2. Of course sm-li ticket
was guarantee Ire win a )<rize. The
idilowing is a copy of the sensible,
business-like reply:
“Devk Hiu: I received your kind
favor, mailed November sth, with
three tickets in your lottery enclosed,
for whiolMdease aeee.pt my thanks.
You ask me to remit you two ($2) dol
lars. My dear sir, money is too scarce
with me,l can’t do It,(until the tickets
draw a Jiriwe The time for drawing is
not far off, and you are so <iertin the
tickets will draw a prize, 1 think it
will lie well and safe to wait until af
ter the distribution, then pay you:
self for the tickets, deduct twenty doi
lnrs for vour trouble and kindness,
and remit to me the balance. You
ask me to notify you if I desire more
tickets. I think the more tickets I
have, the greater Is tie- chance of re
ceiving the “capital prize,” so I leave
it with yourself to send as many as
you think proper, and I will agree to
allow you 25 per cent, off all that may
be drawn, after first deducting there
from thaeost. of the tickets. You w ill
please forward me a statement of the
di-frlbtttion, H ill’ll inilAitlted.
