10 the l,iltor OF tuo Dallas Herald
Dallas needs more farming industry
to occupy aud develop the Wide pAlrut
OF country tributary Ia her trade,
growth and prosperity, Tho ugrloul'
lural element is now and has been up
10 this period, the only and sole basis
Of her sustrnanoe aud growth, She
needs not oul Y more of this element,
but also that of manufacturing to In,
sure her continued growth aud pros,
perity ASA city OF second importance
10 none between the Mississippi river
and the Pacific coast Dallas cannot
afford TO stand still and her citizens TO
conclude that they have done enough
IN giving such start aud impetus that
she will grow without that same per.
severing and stubborn struggle which
has made the city what IL now H.
She cannot afford TO lose time aud the
golden opportunity 20 densely populate
the present immense average OF idle
acres, lying all west, southwest aud
northwest of her, aud upon whose ag.
ricultural products rs the basis, depend
her dR.
The eyes Of the world are directed to
Texas Why not let them know that
Dallas, Denton, Kaufman, ellie, Me.
Lehman, Hill, Hood, Johnson, Tarrant,
Parker, Erath, Wise, Commanche,
Brown, COuchO, Runnels, Young, Ste
phens, Palo Pinto aud other counties
tributary to Dallas, as the chief mart
Of all this region IL that portion Of the
country superior TO any other OF the
state, and unequaled on the continent?
Publish the fact--herald it all over the
world, that Northern Texas Is unsur.
passed for it's farming qualities, and
the city of Dallas the best location for
manufacturing skill and capital. Pub.
fish the TACT in all the old States aud in
the old country. DO this as Il matter
of business, and II will prove hand.
somer investment upon the capital In
vested than In any other ChanHel IN
which it may be employed. The null
titudes bring skill, industry, enterprise
and capital, and following these come
growth, development and enhance
ment of both city and county. 1t Is
the interest of the public to publish,
and the public ought to be found ready
and willing to aid in that which is u
public benefit. What value would be
derived by such heralding, and how
soon might thus be attracted TO this
vast country about her hundreds of
thousands of the requisite farm
ing population, and into
her limits those who would found
multiplied establishments OF produc-
tive industry, for the manufacture OF
cotton, wool, hides, iron, "copper" grain,
wood, &C., into fabrics of utility and
profit and meeting not only the de.
mands of home consumption, but for
the expectation of the surplus to such
markets, as were dependent rs Dallas
is now upon the other markets for
such products.
Grant that these manufacturing
enterprises were nov in existence and
in active operation and these coun-
ties all around densely crowded with
population. how much more valuable
would be the real estate of Dallas and
Northern Texas How much larger
the volume of daily business of the
banks, and insurance companies, the
mercantile houses, and the hotels
How much the enhancement OF tax
able wealth, and how much more and
easier to pay the taxes thereo II How
much more commodlous and elegant
would be the schools, church aud other
public edifices How much improve
ment in the streets, gas, water-works,
street railways, parks, &c. How long
before the surplus profits and accumu.
lations of such varied and multiplied
productive industries would afford the
capital and seek employment therefor
in other banks, factories, railways, DC.
If Dallas and the country possess
such advantages, however deservedly,
how is the world to know the fact ?
Whose business is it to advise them of
it? Whose interest is, or ought II to
be, and whose duty to do so? Ii there
are those who feel and have no inter-
est in the future of Dallas but are fully
satisfied with her present status, then
we cannot believe that such had much
if ANYTHING, to do with making Dallas
what she may now be and would only
have grown up by accident, deprived
of more wide awake progressive
class If there are those who have al
ready as much business rs they want
or care to do; or others who may have
acquired as much property and wealth
as they desire; why we cannot expect
much attention or aid from such; but
there are certainly enough others, who
can't nor will stand still, nor go back
ward if effort will carry forward. Men
who possess the same spirit OF pride
and love of success and profit in what
ever they undertake, and who do not
fear to spend and be spent in the pro-
motion of whatever promises its legit-
innate and honest reward to themselves
and the community of which they are
members.
Chicago has spent hundreds of thou
sands in making kno'pn her advantages.
She has laid tribute upon the skill, in
dustry, enterprise and capital of the
world, until she has become city Of
populousness and Importance second to
only one in the Union.
Cincinnati availed herself of blowing
her own horn "until her manufacture
ing intereits have attained such mag
pitude, that she can not
only exist, but pr0sperS
without reliance upon agricultural
products for her trade and prosperity. -.
81. Paul, Milwaukee, Omaha and
Kansas City have each in their turn
spread out in blazing colors, through
the fundamentally of that powerful
engine, the printing press, their own
peculiar advantages, and they have en-
ioyed the benefits of such OUTLAWS
thousands per cent. ON the Investment.
Kansas City has just spent $4,000 in
their first January review and advert
ising her resources and advantages,
and will no doubt find it to yield its
ten to forty fold per cent. profit on that
which cost the pu6lic--each individual
