 find it, are doomed lo disappointment. Go into 

 any of' our villages au.l ask, " Where are a your

 to the west; they could not he induced lo slay at

 vlTthmilk and honey.'" Westwar.l 'l'« t,.le o,

 tost'ayits progress? All classes seem to look 

 monahonietrtthevvest as the greatest earthly 

 „ Uses^ion. A man that can be conlente.l to stay

 advantages its location gives hitn for a '"»■•;<-' -l^

 "heir farms that they may eniigrale, which th.-ows 

 so much land into the i,ossess,on of '^o'"!'-'; " 

 tivelv few indivhiuals, not leav,ng enough cn- 

 ,.aned in agricultu,-e to cultivate then, ,,, a proper 

 manner. They are furthermore er,pp e,l by the 

 (act that in most cases those who purchase them, 

 instead of being able to return lo the land a pro- 

 ner share of what is taken from .t, must send ,t , 



the west to pay fbr the very land they are not 

 Ll.le to improve. The laud at the east ,s uupov- 

 erished to in, prove the land at the west. 



None can deny that the west holds out g,-eat 

 ten,ptatious to the farmer who has become d,s- 

 1 u'teued and tired of working the ""P^v^-"?! ^ 

 ' land of New England, in the cheapness o the 

 ad and the fertility of the soil, yet st.U doubt 

 whether these inducements overbalance the ad- 

 ' ma es all .Uings considered, a farm at the east 

 .olesse. Probably two-tbir.ls of those who 

 a e , ig'-atetl west could have 'nad,3 .,,o,-e mo- 

 , ey at home, will, the same amount ot 'f «' '"d 

 rfva.ion they lhe,-e endure, ,t money be tier 

 ohieet If education and social privileges a, e 

 h, ought into the account, the east possesses eveiy 

 ■iiK'anta"-e over the west. . 



f he^land be higher and the sod not so rich 



at the east, the farmer does'uot require so much 



of the for, ner, and the lallor can be made as iei- 



U e s they w sh, if they will use the knowledge 



ac d beibre them. Here the far.ne,- has a ready 



, arket for all he can ,-aise, at m.ich lugher pr.ces 



ha,i at the west; and as nia.infactor.es, net-ease, 



1 the demand is mo,-e tiian the supply. 1 he east 

 e,'n fanner has an a.lvantage ,n being able to 

 I , -chase cheai.er all he wishes to buy, m conse. 



;„re of th^ saving of transportation. The 

 a ricultural products of the west n,ust necessa- 

 'iirseek a distant .narket, and articles that can- 

 not be produced tl,e,-e must be retur,ied in ex- 

 cham-e The li-ansportat,on, commissions, &uC., 

 tlutr^operate as a bounty in favor of the east- 

 fo.-cing the western farmer to sell cheape, and 

 huy dearer than his eastern neighbor. By relei- 

 ence to the prices of agricultural slap es, I I id 

 that they are fion, 25 to 50 per ce.U. ess at the 

 west than at the cast, so that though ihetr crops 

 ,-e 10.^ abundant, they .lo not in lac. .-eahze as 

 much in p,-opor.ion for them; and w ,en they 

 "d he cist of clearing the land, the difTei-ence 

 ' ,ice of labor and agricultm-al implemen s
