In the production of the staples for food 

 above mentioned, the proportion of the Con- 

 federate States is well maintained. In manu- 

 factures they are less advanced. These States 

 possess also their peculiar products of sugar, 

 cotton, and tobacco, which are an inexhaust- 

 ible source of wealth, and enable them to be 

 consumers of the productions of all the other 

 States.
