TEXAS LAND SCRIP.

Texas is now the point TO which emigra-
ton tends, aud various causes nre contrib
uting to the tide Of population flowing in
that direction. chief Of which is the Cheap
ness of what is known as Texas Land Scrip.
A. many do not understand why il is that
this scrip can be sold at such low figures,
it may be OF interest to explain the manner
in which it occurs. The public lands in
Texas are owned by the State. She has
given literally Of these lands for the con-
struction Of railroads. Contractors have
built the roads and taken scrip for their
pay. OF course, in making such contracts
duo allowance was made for shrinkage in
converting the lanl into money. As soon
as ten miles of road was completed, the
State would issue the scrip. This scrip is
similar to United States land warrants. 1t
is not limited to any particular locality,
but the holder, AZ we understand it, can To-
cate OF any public lands in the State, ex-
cept each alternate section, which is re-
tained by the State. When the contractor
go! his scrip, he would go to bank and
hypothecate it to raise money. In effect,
he would sell it to the banks, and the re-
suit is that the st. Louis and other banks
hold large quantities of this scrip. They
arc now endeavoiing 10 "unload" and
agents all over the country are engaged in
selling to individuals and colonies. The
general price is 5000 for section Of land,
6lO acres, or little over 30 cents per acre.
The holder of the scrip can locate wherever
he prefers, except upon the alternate
sections reserved by the State. A colony
is organizing at Toledo, with the intention
of locating at some point west of Fort
Worth. Without saying anything for or
against this system which has been adopted
for the purpose of securing the settlement
upon and improvement OF Texas lands, We
haye thought the foregoing facts might be
OF interest to many of our readers.

HARD TIMES.


The oldest inhabitant declares that he
has never before known such hard times
MS the people are now enduring. Ofcourse
under the old wildcat banking System, ter
rible crashes occurred and hard times fol.
lowed, but in those times one dollar in
money was not then needed where ten is
now required, in proportion to the popula-
tion. Then, business men dealt largely
almost excluIively-il "store orders" II
man employed large numbers of men, he
either kept store of his own or had ar.
rangcments with some merchant by which
his uployes were paid at the store, and
he had a substantial reduction OIL the
prices charged his m,n. Then, too, COM
paratively little work was done by machin-
cry and people lived more upon their own
products, direct, than now. The farmer
hll his wool cardod on shares, hired it
spun, got it wove into "homs-spun" cloth
and the women OF the household made
the clothing for the men. Thus was it in
all things, and but little was needed or
seen by the people. Now it is different.
Every man must have money in almost
every business transaction. The farmer
sells his wool for cash and pays cash for
his clothes, and almost everything used IN
the house must be bought with the cash.
This condition OF things makes it neces-
sary for an imn,nse increase OF currency,
and many seem unable to understand why
it Is that the psOple cannot get along now
with as little money, per capita, as they re-
quired thirty and City years ago.
Oae caTse OF the present remarkably dull
times, Just after one of the best hAIvests
ever enjoyed in this country, is owing to
the peculiarly OF the tax laws, requiring
the taxes to be ptid semi.annually, and
the money thus collected to be locked mp
in the Treasury until such time "a it can
be arranged for disbursement to township
AMI corp plration treasurers. The money in
general circulation is thus largely taken
from the pockets OF the people and locked
up for from one TO three aud six months
In districts OF country where money il
scarce, this system really dopriveS the peo-
pie OF the currency absolutely needed for
business transactions, and there must ncccs.
sarily be "dull times" until the currency
can be returned to the people again
through the various and somewhat tediou,
channels which it il required to traverse
This SYSTEM of tax collection always results
in more or less business depression, and il
times like these which the pHblic are nov
experiencing, the Inconvenience Is indeed
very great The Legislature of our Stat
would do wise thing in changing tn,
method Of collecting ,xes or OF handling
tho money collected for ia xes, 20 as not I,
so effectually Withdraw It from circulation
for so long period. Certainly this nigh
be done without endangering the safety o
the money belonging to the people, an'
with great advantage to general busines
