•upon this. The real question is, what plan
will best promote the diffusion of boohs,
and not so much the comparative cost ,of
books: the multiplication ami circula
tion of them, was the main question..-
The purchase of t'ho books in certain
places might awaken ptej udices which
would reaUwt the circulation. The
natural order is first to procure books,
then eircub&te. To procure books they
in net (first he ; printed: to print we must
<4o lit .ourselves .<jr get,others to do it for
ms. ®he friends,of hiring the work done
itnust prove tjfiat it is cheaper to buy
it ham to make,-, l or that to purchase is bet
itentbtm to publish in the South. How
,can they prove this ? They must as
.sumo fthe imbecility of the ministers and
I members of the Southern people at large.
\\ViM this be affirmed ? Or will they
ssay the circumstanees are unfavorable,
. our climate bad, soil poor ? The Speak
er enlarged very forcibly on the posi
tive advantages of this class, possessed
bv the South: and expatiated on the
great prospects in the future lying before
the Southern country. *
I)r. Early then took the floor, saying
t hat he had no appeals to make to pub
lic prejudices. He meant to present i
facts and figures, lie was with Mr. j
Ralston in principle but not in prejudi
ces. He had taken this subject closely
under rev iew, and was prepared to speak
and act advisedly. With him economy
was tirst, and he felt it his duty to give
such facts as he possessed, whatever
might be the result. r l he question was,
“ was it most discreet and proper to es
tablish a publishing house?" He had
sought for information at the best sour
ces and obtained it. lie maintained
.'that few publishers were printers, and
uia&w of the most extensive publishers
had no printing establishments. Such
was the ease with the American Tract
,Society, the American Sunday School
'Society and others, He stated that there
was a distiucting between printing and
publishing: we might publish without
printing, and gave instances of this.—
Seventy or eighty thousand dollars
must be necessarily used in buildings
and fixtures —the interest and insurance
on which would be heavy, and propor
tionately subtract from the active capi
tal. He remarked ‘that the New York
Book Concern with all its advantages
had yielded not more than 3 per cent
per annum,
Another question, “ where should it
be?” must be considered, lie held
that it must be in a manufacturing city;
and showed the difficulty of attempting
the work in any other sort of place. As
a Virginian, he had the right to use his
own means to build up manufactories
in any city he pleased ; but did not
claim the same right to use the funds of
the church, lie regretted that local
prejudices should have been appealed j
to, and begged they should have no j
place in the discussion. Manufacturing
was coming South, and the prospects
were increasing. He maintained that
trade will seek its level, and the law of
commerce must rule in this as in other
eases. By reference to various instan
ces, Dr. E. showed that, by a division of
labor, printing could be hired at prices
lower than we can do such work: spoke
of the difficulties and expense of import
ing raw materials to and products from
divers points named, with a view of
showing tliAfr’a great commercial city
possessed /advantages for transportation,
which none others could have. He re
pudiated the idea that books would not
be bought simply because they were
printed in the North ; believed that all
our capital should be active; advocited
the policy of establishing depositories at
principal points, such as Richmond, 1
Charleston, New Orleans, Louisville, St. j
Louis, Nashville and Memphis, and thus
equalize the benefits of the book inter
est ; and insisted that the constantly
growing character of the country em
braced within the bounds of the church,
was such as to render it more than prob
able that a publishing house located now
would not be the proper place a few
years hence. lie insisted that great
-care should be taken in the first step in
this matter, and closed by remarking
that lie bad more to say at another time.
Dk. (JbeEK being entitled to the floor
i called tor the reading of the resolution,
after which lie proceeded. He confes
sed lie appeared before the conference
on this subject with some hesitancy];
liad no personal interest in the matter,
but spoke only as a Methodist preacher.
'This was the most important question
that would or <equld come before this
-conference. However important other
questions might be, this was more goj—
On this question he was all mi ope si/le,
not on the fence ; still he was conserva
tive, and concur and co-operate
with the rpajprity iu whatever course
they might finally determine upon, file
felt that lie was fyee from local influence,
though he might not be; he was but a
man, and might be influenced as other
men were ; believed we ought to divest
.ourselves of sectional feeling and act for
Ihe general good. Vfe should take an
.enlarged view of tlje subject and ask wliat
will accomplish tfle greatest good;
•thought our agents, heretofore, had
as well as any yuan could have
.done. He woul4 qhect the conference
to the points njade by Hr. Early. lie
thought the Dr. had made inqwrtant
points which deserve consideratei.
He had no quiiiFel with the |vorlh;
be price laid, bpt the cause tiie rjof had
been removed. JTe had no opposition
to any people or place Aorth, but would
not ask them what course he. should
pursue in this matter, as he might not
.get an impartial answer. He reviewed
Dr. E.’s argument in reference to pub
lishers not printing their,own books—
He would go right into the middle of the
question. He granted that, as a gene
ral truth, the division of labor tended
to cheapen the product; admitted that
when the value of a product was not
equal to the labor and cost of production
in any given cose, the product should be
bought, not made. He illustrated : —to
build one house, it were better to buy
the prepared material —-but to build a
thousand houses—it were cheaper to
prepare the material than to buy ; so of
other things. Where-publishers do not
print, it is because of smallness of capital;
still such publishers must of necessity
bear their propot innate part in all the
expense of publishing ; and maintained
that if this expense ultimately exceeded
the amount necessary for an outfit, it
were better to commence manufacturing
at once.
The point to which ho*would refer,
would be the cost of building, lie could
build a house, let it stand ten years—
charge year by year the interest on cost
with the yearly insurance, and at the
end of that time sell for,-a profit—could
do this easily in any one of teir cities
which might be named in 'the South.—
On the subject of depositories, there
would be such establishments with pub
lishing or printing house, as well as with
out it. The American Tract. Society
operated on the running system from
year to year; but that was not analogous
to this. Ours was to be a permanent
place. In reference to the argument
drawn from the fact that large printing
houses hired work done, it did not ap
ply, as it was incidental rather than oth
erwise. The question of transportation
he regarded as unimportant in the ar
gument. Look at our wants —at the de
mand on us —at the expectation in refer
ence to this subject. We contain, as
a church, nearly half of the whole num
ber of Methodists in the United States,
more than half the territory of the same.
We have all requisite material, and a
noble people! The West, he thought,
would soon feed and dictate to the world.
Three or four millions of people looked
to us for books of various kinds ; and
he was anxious for us to take the lead in
matters of this sort in the South. We
had all that was necessary to make
books, and wo ought to do it. The
South mace Railroads, steam engines,
brown domestics, etc., cheaper than the
North coqld do it. In all that the South
had triedlto make, taking all things into
the. account, she had beat the North.—
But why was there no large printing
j house in the South? Because no one
i could control the market in the South.
We could control that market with our
own people, because here the product
was wanted and here it ought to be
made. A publishing house proper;
I would develop home talent and improve
the literature of the South. He said
that an a different principle we could
only /command a fraction of the labor
usually employed in printing and catch
it up here and there as we could. Fur
ther he stated we were tacitly committed
to. tie world on this subject; we were
‘ah fj to do the work ourselves ; the peo
ple expected it of us, and it ought to be
done. Were we ever to do this work?
If so, when should we commence ? W e
can do it now, better than we can ever
do it again. Why not employ our own
people ? There were enough of them,
. they were ready and willing to work.—
He felt like sitting down at home. The
present system might continue until ar
rangements for manufacturing were com
i plete. Let the committee on books be
1 instructed to appropriate a definite a
mountfor investment—carry on the pre
sent system, until a better can be made,
then work for ourselves henceforth and
forever.
The order of the day was taken up,
and Mr. McAnally being entitled to the
floor, yielded it to Dr. Winans, who pro
ceeded to express his gratification for the
courtesy thus extended to him, which
he would not have accepted but for the
apprehension that his precarious health
might not allow him the opportunity to
express his views on this subject here
after.
He was Southern in his views, feel
ings, and interests, fully so; but on this
question his fe’elings and interests were
not local in their character —they were
all for the ehurefi, and the church only.
He claimed nothing for himself, on ac
count of age, Southern position or any
thing else. He only insisted to be heard
for his cause. He took the position that
the South was too rich, its soil too fertile,
its climate too genial to allow of book
making competing successfully with a
poorer country and a poorer population,
lie took ground directly opposite to that
of Messrs. Balaton and Green—we were
not dependent on the North—we fed
them, and afforded the capital which
called out their labor. Laborers could
not be employed here as cheaply as in
the North. There, they labored for a
mere support, here they would not do
so. This met the argument drawn from
the fact that books must be paid for. —
The operations of labor were carried on
more cheaply than in the South, which
would of course lessen the aggregate
cost, inasmuch as those who were edm
pelled to labor lor a mere subsistence
would labor cheaper than those where
avenues of trade, profit and speculation
were numerous, Dr. Early, he said,
had proved that the capital invested in
book-making in the New York Metho
dist book .concern had yielded only o
pgr cent per annum, and Southern capi
talists would not, and ought riot, to in
vest at such rates. He alluded .to Dr.
Green’s argument o,n house building,
and showed in what respects he con
sidered it as fallacious. He maintained
that a printing house was not necessary
to .develop Southern intellect or scarcely
an encouragement. Some of the largest
publications of Methodists laid been is
sued from houses not connected with the
church—as for instance the works of Olin
and Durbin. He expected to be,an au
thor himself perhaps; if fie should be, he
expected to publish where lie thought
the publication would be most useful
and profitable. So would any one else,
and Dr. Green himself was too good a
financier not to do it.
He thought that a book concern was
highly important so tar as the unity of
the connection was concerned, but not
a printing house. A centre of union
could be found at our mission rooms, or
the place of the annual meeting of the
Bishops. He repudiated the idea that
Southern people would spurn books sim
ply because they were made in the North.
Methodists were not so stultified. The
matter he believed was gotten up for ef
fect, not perhaps by the speakers who
had preceded him, but by some one.—
The Southern people were not so easily
gulled, as to reject books published by
an Agent of the South, merely because
such books were printed elsewhere than
in the South. The whole question re
solved itself into one of economy. Where
could we get books cheapest and be able
to procure most of them? This was the
question. Though we may have half a
million of members, and three millions
of adherents, still our field was a restrict
ed one. W e would not pub]ish all sorts
of books, nor even the most saleable
books; hence wc should have to com
pete with publishers less restricted in
character and amount of books; conse
quently they could publish for less than
we. Such publishers having a wider
field, and more extensive sale, could
publish particular books cheaper than
we.
Our borders might not remain where
they now are, and a location, very suita
ble at the present, might in future, sub
ject us to such scenes as had been wit
nessed since 1844; and he was decidedly
opposed to establishing, against econo
my, and without more certainty of per
manency than was afforded at present, a
concern so important.

The Independent Press is published weekly in
Eatonton. Gen., at the price of §2,‘.0 per annum, inva
riably in pdvance, except where the subscriber resides
in the County. .' .
As its name indicates, it is designed to i ■. entirely in
dependent, being governed alone by such rules as d*.-
ccficv, geiitlouiatilmess and good morals impose upon
every press. It hopes not, however, to mistake licen -
tiousness for liberty, nor seurrihousness for independ
fcjltUt*. *’“
Its polities will i.e Democratic—of the school of Jef
ferson, Madison aiuLJacksou. It, however, is subject
to.no party discipline which would compel its Editor
,to sacrifice truth and honor in behalf of bis political
.associates. He will always speak what be thinks.
One distinctive feature of tnis press is that.it..allows
and invites, a discussion in its columns of all subjects
whatever, proper to form reading matter tor flic popu -
lar mind. Communications from political opponents
arc admitted upon the same terms as communications
front political friends. It is required of both that they
make their articles brief, to the point, ulld free from
personality and all illiberal feeling. Religious ques
tions, as well as political, and others may lie discussed.
Much of tlie attention of this press is devoted to
Literature and general Miscellany. It is hot entirely
filled with political wrangling and party strife. In ad
dition to its literary and miscellaneous matter, it con
tains articles on Agriculture, Ac. And as Geoi
gians and Southern people generally, ace fond of field
sports, this subject also ttias in filling the columns of
tuis press.
Whatever can add to the prosperity of Georgia, and
aid in developing her resources, moral, mental and
physical, is considered peculiarly adapted to these col
umns. The cause of common school education csprei
will be urged upon the people of Georgia with all
the ability wc can command.
All Communications must be addressed, (post-paid,)
to tlie Editor of The Independent I’ress, Eatonton,
