50 WISCONSIN AGEICULTURE. 



attache, and a beautiful carved female head attracted universal 

 attention, and should be awarded a diploma. 



11. — A premium of three dollars is recommended for the very 

 beautiful and ingenious model of a ship exhibited by George 

 Eichards, showing in minute detail all the varied machinery 

 of a large sail ship. 



14. — The exhibition of Umbrellas and Parasols manufactured 

 by H. Middleton, No. 14 Wisconsin street, Milwaukee, was 

 well deserving of the honor of a diploma. Those who, by their 

 skill and enterprise manufacture articles of daily use within our 

 own State, and thus prevent the necessity of importing such 

 articles from abroad, deserve to be patronized by all well-wishers 

 of our thriving State of Wisconsin. No principle in political 

 economy is more clearly self-evident than that we should manu- 

 facture for ourselves as much as possible, thus creating a home 

 market for our agricultural products, and preventing the expor- 

 tation of money for the purchase of the articles manufactured. 

 In this way the returns received by Wisconsin for her grains, 

 lumber, metals, etc., exported, would be in the form of money, 

 rather than of the products of the industry and better economy 

 of other countries. 



24. — Hats, Caps and Furs exhibited by Messrs. Troop & Bail- 

 ey, Hatters, Milwaukee, a diploma. 



45. — The committee award a diploma to Messrs S. Shoyer & 

 Co., of Milwaukee, for superb articles of Gent's Clothing. 



77. — Messrs. Atkins & Steele, No. 171 East Water Street, ex- 

 hibited a lot of well made boots. 



20, 21. — The Truss Hoops, Crows and Trowels, were good 

 specimens of Cooper's Tools, etc., exhibited by E. & H. Clark, 

 Milwaukee. 



112 to 136. — Hardware Tools of various kinds, some of them 

 newly invented, and others with many newly devised improve- 

 ments, making them more convenient and usefal in the hands 

 of skilful workmen, were exhibited by Lefever& Green, 81 East 

 Water street, Milwaukee, who, for their enterprize in supplying 

 the country with these indispensible articles, should receive a 

 diploma from the Society.
