On the Mississippi River we have nearly all the markets.

Boats are passing there every day going directly by the banks of the river.

We have the markets of New Orleans, Vicksburg, Memphis, Saint Louis, Chicago, and we have, you may say, the whole country open before us where we can create a market.

We make the best market we can for the products of our small farmers.
Q.Do you know something of the prices in the North for the various crops you have mentioned, and if so, how do they compare with the price realized by your laborers at home?
-- A.

Our laborers realize the prices of the Northwest.
