U.MFAC TUBES OUR RESOURCE—THK I
FIRST STEP.
Hut there is one subject mi which we have a |
-euse vrhan one resource is diminished to fall •
hack'upon anoiher. Our manufacturing Inter
ests If properly developed and utilized, may j
he made to go far towards supplying- del'iciem Is.
m our other industries. In Virginia there is a ,
vast field for manufacturing enterprise. Our
t'-cilities for manufacturing are almost un
-L.iiia.U-Hl. We should have cotton factories,
oilier factories and workshops of all kinds, Y\ c [
have numberless mines that may be profitably
worked We have limitless forssM that might
be brought into the various forms of wood work i
md a vast supply of diversified raw material
that could be anally oonvertsd imo merchantable
goods Our water power i» unbounded and our
market facilities are unquestionable. When |
Virginia turns her attention to mamitai'tiirim.-
In good sarnest, the days of an unexampled
prospsrtty will commence.
The above from tbe Whig has the true i
ring. Excellent talk about manufactures ,
comes from all our papers, but alas ! why I
don't we get tho manufactures. To manu
facta-., we need money and skilled labor. I
We have neither ; who has ? Men in the
North and in Europe are supplied with
both, and are using them profitably to |
themselves and the communities where they j
live. In those communities they find su
perior social organization, means of employ- '
ment aud improvement, good roads, good j
schools, and tbe spirit of enquiry, progress j
vigorous minds crave, and enjoy, j
They will not leave such localities and j
seek new fields among strangers, where
a narrow, bigoted .and clannish spirit is
manifested ; where even educated men arc j
so ill-bred as to vaunt their superior blood
on all public occasions ; where the boast of j
gentility and chivalry is accompanied by
the best possible evidence, that tho boaster
is neither gentlemanly or chivalrous, and
where offensive allusions to people born
outside of Virginia, disgrace social commu
nication, and even tbe columns of respect
able journals.
There is no home for enterprise where
none are welcomed who will not smother
t'teir principles and convictions, if against
th. popular voice ; where men's politics or
birth-place are made the conditions of pat
ronage. As well expect to rear an orange
grove in the dismal swamp as to nurse the
fair Industries into life and fruitfulness,
amid tho poisonous atmosphere of clannish
liatc, zealously and ignorant conceit, which
so largely prevail in Richmond and through
out the South.
Till this is changed we shall nave no
general influx of capitoland skillet! labor to
build up manufactures, or open our mines,
unless under some powerful slimulous we
can get an emigration so vast as to. over
whelm utterly, and drown out, this pre
scriptive spirit.
Our people will have to linger on, and ■
see their children grow up poor, inferior in
acquirement and enjoyment, while other ';
States and nations rise to power aud pros- j
l>erity, with resources far inferior to our
Tbe first step forward to the inaugura
tion of enterprises worthy of this city and
the State, must be taken by the press. The
rule of fossilized old gentlemen, exhumed
memories of departed days, must be thrown
off on the one hand, and on the other that
fierce and barbarous mob to which the press
now panders. For whom do you write
"Scalawag aud carpet-bagger," and the
whole category of foul slang, which offends
the ear ? Not for the great body of the ;
the people, its business men and the pro- '
ilucers of its wealth. It is to gratify those
worthless and mischievous classes who still
hold, by some bad enchantment, a vestige
of that power which, in '01, compelled the
Convention to pull down the old fag after
the people had voted for the Union.
It is because there is not yet courage ;
enough in tlie press, ami iv the moderate
and substantial classes, to rise above this j
malignant influence, that capitalists feel no
confidence in our starUity. It is not your so- '
cial ostracism that these men care for mere
ly, but they know that a society that suc
cumbs to its inferior elements is unsafe.
In such a society a contagion is in the at
mosphere, pervading everything, and cor
rupting the very fountains of justice, en
dangering every right sacred to manhood,
and every interest precious to civilization.
New York has just experienced deliver
ance from such conditions, ami for the first
time for many mouths her business men
feel safe once more. Her salvation was one
of the grandest achievements of the Amer
ican Press. It is in the power of the Vir
ginia Press to release this city, and the :
State from an influence not less cruel,
mean, cowardly and destructive to its ma- |
terial iuteresU than Tammany Hall. We
mean the tyranny of proscription for opin
ion's sake.
INDUSTRIAL t.'O-OPERATIOJI.
From an extended article in the New
York Tones upon this subject, we make the
following extract. It il of the utmost im
portance to every laboring man and every
capitalist that some itieuns should be
attained to prevent strikes, ami equitably
distribute tlie results of capital ami laboT :
One firm in this city, it appears from a
recent communication in the I/mdoii Spet-
UUor, has made a remarkable and guc_es»
ful experiment in this direction, to which
the attention of all students of this great
problem should be called. The .Messrs.
Ilrewstcr, carriage makers, of this eitv, ;
state that tind-ng. w their business ci* i
more thrown Out of i-oiiiiiumaatioii and
sympathy with tlioir employ.*, and (hat i
thus misttflderstandiiigs might nriso which
woiiM lead to strikes, ami knowing
thflt a valuable business like theirs
would be greatly injured by a .sudden
strike, they resolved to give their workmen
n permanent interest in their businass.
The weak pothts of tlte English industrial
lartnershrps they thought to be tho paying
alwr its share of the profits after capital
ad received its interest and the managers
iir salaries. lor thus, in a "bad year,
when every man hail done his full duty, it
would happen that interest and salaries
would eat up all the profits, and the labo
rer- get nothing. Tho average working
tan, as Mr. Hrewslcr says, would not un
crstaud this, and would become suspicious
nd talk of " bad management," and lose
lis interest in increasing production or
economising expenses, and finally, perhaps,
would leave the establishment entirely. To
avoid these troubles, tho Messrs. ISrewstcr
resolved to pay tlieir men the highest
wages of the trade, and in addition a certain
share of tho prolit, before capital or the
managers were paid, and to put each year i
by itself, so that in the event of the capital ',
being seriously impaired, Ihe men would
not have to make up the losses of the em-
The percentage with which they com- ,
mem ed was ten, per cent, of tho profits, j
which, if wo consider that tho business was |
prosperous, and that no difficulty had ever ]
occurred between tho masters and their
workmen, and that this was an untried ex- |
pcriment, seemed a fai>' arrangement. They i
also gave the men great power in the ad- |
ministration of the concern, allowing the ;
"Hoard of (governors" at any time to pass j
a resolution advancing Ihe wages, and only j
giving the I 'resident—one of tho firm—the j
power of vetoing, but in caso the resolution \
was repassed by a two-thirds vote, permit- !
ting il to be law. From this liberal arrange- •
tiiei t they have experienced no utiuoy-
I obstruction to their business. Mar
ias reigned, they slate, throughout j
tablishment, and the utmost good i
prevails between employers and
en. There is, in every part of the j
, tho most careful cleanliness and j
■der. Far greater economy is shown j
ry department, the men are more
al in attendance, there is less waste
<, and improvement in all directions,
irk is better done and the production
aluab'.e than under tho old plan.
p first dividend was made m -July,
or six months, of three and seven
percent., amounting to .3,000; the
» in -luly, of four per cent., or
• is certainly a fair and reasonable
i-U'orl made to unite the interests of labor I
and capital in one branch of trade in Now
York. The share paid to the workmen, it
is true, is small—still it is a share, and gives
them a permanent interest in the business.
It is also a voluntary concession of employ
ers to laborers, and must have gootl effect*
on both parties. Strikes will not be apt to
Rin the Messrs. Brewster's trade, and
working man chooses to take only
hours, he does it, and pays for it,
tor people do, by reduced profits. The
used economy ot the factory will prob
almost pay the allotment to the men ;
the whole business is put on a firmer,
more satisfactory antl more humane basis.

with all the other foundries."
The Richmond Whig says:

guilty of an inadvertence in failing to mention
