Excerpt from The Westward Movement Capital, and the Facilities Which St. Louis and Missouri Offer for Its Investment These significant facts show that the westward migration of manufactories is a general and rapid movement. This transition, obeying economic laws and incapable of arrest, will compel a readjustment of eastern industries. Every sec tion of'our country now exhibits an unmistakable disposition to supply its own wants. Every region in which the cost of transportation from other localities permits a profit is establishing its own manufactories. This universal and strongly marked tendency towards industrial independence is a distinctive feature of our material development. Capital, delicately sensitive to every economic change and actively adventurous in quest of profit, always seeks the most favorable places for investment. Latterly millions of eastern money have been expended in theestablishment of furnaces, factories, and workshops in our southern states. Doubtless the westward flow of northern funds will continue.
