Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-09-23
a WORD E0R ST PAIL.

We have waited for several days to see
whether Bill Kings st. Paul editor of the
p. p. would say kind word for st. Paul
and her business interests, but we are sorry
to confess that we have waited in vain. Bill
is apparently determined that he will allow
the publication of nothing in the columns of
that paper that would lead the outside world
to suppose that there was such place as ST.
Paul, or that she had aught to recommend
her to public notice. The GLOBES modesty
has deferred it from taking the lead in that
direction, but it has been ever ready to
second any efforts put forth by it's elder
neighbor to bring the claims of our beauti-
full city before the world at large. AS there
is no disposition manifest in the columns of
the Z. z. to do anything save puff Min
neapolis, the GLOBE feels constrained to
speak as fully as it's youth and modesty will
warrant, of the commercial emporium of the
Northwest.
Chicago newspapers that are apparently in
dense ignorance on the subjects the
capital of the State of Minnesota, is situated
on the east bank of the Mississippi river, and
is famed for the beauty of her location, the
picturesqueness of her scenery, and the sa-
lubrity of her climate. She is city Of
AZ, 900 to $4,000 inhabitants, all of whom
are peaceable and intelligent, many of them
wealthy and refined, and not a few famed in
public life as statesmen and scholars. The
city is the center of twelve grand railway
lines, radiating to all points of the compass
from the city limits. It is also the center of
a large wholesale trade, which supplies the
vast territory north, west and south of u.s.,
with millions of dollars worth of goods
annually. Many of our merchants i'm
port their fine goods direct from European
markets, thus saving to purchasers the
profits of jobbers and middlemen. Our
manufactures, though yet in their infancy,
are ''not to be sneezed att by any city Of our
lumber, boots and shoes, clothing, furniture,
agricultural implements, engines and cars,
cigars, beer, carriages and wagons, and
scores of other articles indispensable on the
farm and in the household. Our banks are
among the most substantial in the country,
our business blocks are the admiration and
envy of all strangers, our pirate residences
are models of elegance and comfort.
With all these advantages who can say a
brilliant future is not in store for St. Paul
The natural growth of the city insures q
population double what it is at present
within six years, while with iudicious and
united effort on the part of our citizens anc
business men generally our growth can b
greatly accelerated. The time is not fal
distant when the entire territory north ant
west of this city will be supplied with al
kinds of goods direct by our wholesale
dealers. There will be no necessity
is but little now-for country merchants t,
60 to Chicago or New York for supplies, TO
they will be able to purchase goods in GU
markets as cheap as at the East, and saw
the considerable item of freight. The st
Paul of the present is a beautiful, flourish
ing city. TIE st. Paul of the future will b.
an immense commercial mart, attractin,
hither all the business of the Red Rive
Valley and all that west and southwest as ia
as the Missouri River.
