In another column will be found IL
very interesting letter from Texas,
which is written by gentleman who
formerly reided here, but has lived long
enough in that State to appreciate the

IT is matter Of surprise that so
much real property is being offered for
sale in this city, and that so few sales
are made. In this respect, however,
Red Wing is not different from other
cities generally. The fact is, business is
is depressed everywhere and property is
shrinking in value 50 rapidly that hold
ers, who are not well enough off to be
secure, are anxious to realize before

give it place in our columns. There
is no such contest between the people
of Western cities and those of the
country as he imagines. Indeed, their
interests are identical generally. If the
farmers are prosperous, the laborers,
mechanics and merchants of the cities
can expect to prosper; on the other hand
if the farmers are poor, the city
people cannot avoid suffering with them.
In all cities there are spectators,
usurers, etc., who prey upon the
country people and town people, too,
whenever they can, but it is not fair to
hold all the residents of the cities re-
sponsible for the sins of these few Ish-

MEssRs. WELLMAN g. BoYNToN have
been compelled to make an important
