MRS. LAURA H. RANDOLPH
Merchants of Austin, now say to you
that taking quality into consideration will
meet any fair competition that may offer,
and with the further assurance that the
trade shall be properly protected, respect
fully solicit the preference of your valued
patronage. l call upon you to aid in a
strictly business way an enterprise which
cannot fail to contribute to the material
prosperity of your city. One manufacture
ing industry stimulates others, and factories
multiplied will scatter money like autumn
leaves among the people which, moving in
legitimate channels, viii swell to OVERLOOKING
the currents of your trade and commerce.
Taking up my residence among you and
casting my lot with yours, permit me to re-
Ter for single moment to what I esteem the
/ probable development OF this great Empire
State.
More than equal in area to the great val
ley States of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and
Kansas, embracing within its ATTITUDES the
climates of the temperate and torid zones
a benefcent Providence has spread out its
broad domain, and endowed its virgin soil
with fertility and variety of productions
which render it capable Of sustaining the
densest population on the face of the earth.
He has underlaid its surface with coal, iron,
copper, and the whole family of minerals
and jeweled its mountains with the precious
metals. Endowed with resources and eli
matte advantages superior to either Of the
great States referred to, it is fair to assume
that, in complying with the requisite entities,
her development in material wealth and
power will be on a scale commensurate with
either Of them.
What are the conditions under which
Texas, rising TO the maximum a her posi-
bilities, may take first rank among all the
States Of the Unionl answer, increase of
