November if,, 19°7 muaulaclories You may/take the dullest and most prosai * town and erect within its borders a busy, thriving manu facturing institution, where large numbers of workmen are employed f-r and a new life is at once imparted to the placeT The dull mono onv of the past »ivcs away to the sound of the steam whistle and the clangor of the shop. The streets no longer look deserted People move with .an active restlessness in strange contrast to the times when 110 tnanu facturing was carried on in their midst. The liveliest towns that we have in this country are t4io.se wholly devoted to manufacturing. The dreariest towns, where dry-rot ii visible on every hand, are those wherein no workshops arc to be found. Manufacturing towns are not only more active, but as a rule they are prosperous, as well as be ing far more enterprising and af ford better social and commercial ad antages. The typical manufacturing towns are to be found in New ling laud, in fact the Connecticut river may be said to l>e lined with tlu-111. It is invigorating to the mind, at well as to the sight, to travel through these towns, which justly may be termed ' bee hives ot indus try," All air of thrift and enter prise is everywhere displayed. The propi ietor* of the industrial institu tions, the tradesmen, the artisans and other citizen* exhibit everv outward indication of that content ment and happiness which arise from a prosperous condition. There is a reason for this a social as well as,a business reafon. First, the presence of 'workshops and factories in the midst of a com munity is in itself a source of ac tivity. These institutions drawing to them daily their scores and their hundreds of workmen, bring life and activity, not for a week, or a month, but as long as they are in operatiou. But 111 towns .purely commercial, or in lazy, seaport towns where the bulk of the male ]x>rtioti of the population is at sea, there is a too perceptible lack of life and animation. This can be lietter observed than described. Hut to one standing in a tnauufac tilling town at the morning hour, at noon, or at night, when the workmen are wending their ways to and from work, there need be little said to prove whence tlijqr vitality of the town arises Let us get together and secure for our town factories of some kind Because we have failed in one >r two_iust»iKes to land supposed eu- don't give up; remember the old axiom, "If you don't at first succeed, try, try again." Should an individual, who is facing vexing problems, and who has none to encourage, give up, be should be pitijrd, but a body of men-clear headed business men, who have one another to lean upon and advise with and to encourage—'should they give up the fight for commer cial prosperty they should be hiss ed. The reports from the daily papers from the money centers indicate tint the currency famine is clearing up. We are very glad to note this fact and we predict that in u weeks the panic will be a thing of the past. Banks all over the United States have been forced to pay out onlv a small per cent of cash, on checks drawn on them and pleasure that we have noticed during aii the flurry and excite ment of the last few days that the banks of our city have been forgiug ahead and paying out 100 cents in cash ob every dollar d*awn on them.

I'lre mer chants and farmers of this section have stood by.the banks and it is through these good people and the excellent management of our banks that they have passed through these strenuous times oblivious of tlu- tumult of the cntside world- We presume that some people think newspaper men are persistent duiiuers. Let a farmer place him self in a similar position and see it he would not do the "same. Sup |>ose that be raises a thousand bushels of corn, and his neighbor should come and buy. and the price was one dollar or less, aud says,"l will pay the amount in a few days." As the farmer does not want to be t put 11 about the matter, lie says, "All tight.'' Another conies the same way anil another, until the whole thousand bushels of corn is trusted to a thousaud different people and no one of the different persons con cerns himself about,it, for it is a small amount they owe the farmer iiiirl nf course that will not help 1 iui any. He does not realize that the larniei has frittered away his en tire crop of Corn, and that its value is due in a thousand lijtle driblets, and that lie is seriously eiubarassed in his business, because bis kbtprs trt?at it as a little matter. Hut if all would pay bitu promptly, which they could as wtdl as not, it would be a large sum to the farmer and enable him to carry 011 bis hush without difficulty. V™,_ * SUPPOSE Cotton is selling at ten cents, And \et the crop is remarkably short and the Texas yield, Presi dent Neillofthe .Farmers' t'uioii tells us, is only oue-half of usual. J list suppose the Texas crop were up to the avetage. Suppose that ,ve had a good favotable season this Year on the eulitv acreage plant'd. Cotton would not now command over seven or eight cents! We have said this beloir, but it's worth saying twice. And the moral is the old, old -tory: The one-crop system is nevei safe. ' Next year the crash may come. Get ready now for diversified fanning. Sow some grain, clover, etc , and lav your plans for bigger corn and side-issue crops in iyoß.
