Exhibition—Annual Addresses.

The influence of such an annual balance against us in manufac¬ 
tured goods must be felt—nay, in the long run, it will be disas¬ 
trous. In these gross amounts of manufactured articles are in¬ 
cluded lumber and the products of flouring and grist mills, which, 
in this state, are, respectively, $20,419,877 and $15,130,719, and 
in the whole country, $445,000,000 and $210,000,000. If we deduct 
these items from the gross amount, our deficiency becomes still 
more apparent, for in the other articles, our proportion is about 
$95,000,000, and the amount realized scarcely $42,000,000, show¬ 
ing a deficit of $53,000,000. There are many articles of luxury 
and utility which we cannot expect to produce in this state, and 
some, not in the country. There are many others used by all 
classes of society, and necessary for the people of every village 
and hamlet in the land, which can be produced here as well as 
elsewhere. Some of these are specified in the following table,, 
and the sum total of our relative deficiency is nearly $18,000,000.

Considering the recent settlement of this state, and the neces¬ 
sity of giving attention to agriculture, the presentation which I 
have made is neither dishonorable nor discouraging. Compared
