Congresitnan Caldwell ot lllinms
was akeJ his opinion the other

bill originated by the Republican

practical hanker, and his opinion

the bill is a couspieu ,m in

he hits some center points in the
following:
"In my opinion, iho title of the

Home Manufacture.
Tin; Coluinbin Statcsnitiu savs
something is wan ted in that town
Yankees. The Mkssaui: thinks
the same thing is wanted in Mexico.
The Stateiiian argues the matter
so well that we tioti) lielow how it
connects the ease with another
subject. The Statesman says:
''The Yankees, whatever else
they may be, tire a shrewd, indus
trious, enterprising, manufacturing
people. Th'-y make nearly every
thing this country uses. Theybtiv
our raw material and make us pay
dearly for the same article in the
finished product- ii is by this
met hod that the oast controls the
west. When the west goes into the
mauiifactriug business, and only
then, will this condition change.
Then I he constant (low of money
from west to cast will cease. In the
east every tilth- town is a maun
faetlllillg eelltrr."
"The Statcman has often suggest
ed I hal factories be established in
Columbia. We have argued the
mutter from every standpoint.
Again we insist, there is nionev
for capitalists and laborers who
will engage in the manufacture of
eerlain commercial articles. We
have the raw material for many
things, Look at our inexhausti
ble bods of coal ; our splendid beds
of lire clay: broad forests of tim
ber; iii.irries of building stone,
find et we are content to let these
things remain almost untouched
and buy from abroad what we
could make at home."
