The Multiplication of Industries by American Production
The author argues the United States should self produce watches and other goods. Machinery outpaces imports in watches and textiles, with silk, pottery, cutlery, woolen cloths, carpets, and leather. English printing prestige declines as American tech and processes advance, citing Scribner's and St Nicholas as evidence.

American agriculture and the call for brighter leadership
The article argues that American farming suffers from a brain drain as its best talent seeks other fields. It stresses the need for more intelligent and ambitious workers, citing social and educational factors that hinder rural progress and urging improved opportunities to retain top minds. It then shifts to a history of the American Watch Company of Waltham, detailing capital, production growth, workforce, and price competition with Elgin, plus expansion into India, Australia, and the English market.
