The Vicksburg Herald seems
to have but little faith in all cot
ton: 1t ironically remarks;
"Our people should plant this
year for a very large crop OF
cotton, for they cannot reason
ably expect to realize more
than from 5 to 8 cents pound
The lower the price the more
they will need of it" If, unfor-
tionately, there should be a
general European war, the
Herafd'sp redictious oflowprices
viii be more than verified.
Cotton has been sold as low as
4 I-2 to $ cents for a good style
of middling;; that was as long
ago as 1884, just after the
bankruptcy act. The present
outlook certainly justifes an
anticipation of low prices.

Whoppcrs.

The Galveston and Santa Fe
Railroad Company has been
much diseased of late, and fin
ally kicked the bucket" after
failing to obtain physic at Bren-
ham the other day.
The people of Brennan were
willing to invest in the Santa
Fe railroad upon condition that
the directory would contract to
carry freight from Brennan to
Galveston lower than the Cen
trail. Mr.. Kopperl would not
agree to this, and the people OF
BRENNAN would not subscribe.
-Anstn Statesman.
The first paragraph shows the
animns of the Statesman. The
second one is true; with some
trifling exception. Mr.. Kopperl
on the part of the G., C. & S. F
railroad did agree to guarantee
reduction in freight tariff, and
the people not only of Brennan,
but of Washington, Burlesor
Austin, Bell and Milan
counties will subscribe but sub
scribe literally at that. The truth
of the matter is, Austin and the
Austin StatF1HaN are jealous Of
Galveston, and ofthe Santa Fe
railroad.

BRENNAN, March II, 1878.
Editors Banner
VIII please publish for the
information ofthe patrons of the
postofhce of this city the fol-
lowing extract from the U. S.
Postal Guide: ITO inclose any
written matter in printed matter
subjects the mailing party to a
fine of five dollars, unless the
party addressed pays letter
postage"
Each postofice box or
drawer, in all postoffices, is re-
stricted to the use of one fami-
ly, firm, or company, and the
rent therefore must be paid at
least one-quarter in advance.
A person renting a postoffice
box is entitled to have the let
tiers of, his family, firm or COM
pany put into it. Letters ad-
dressed to his friends, stopping
temporarily with him may also
be placed in the box if directed
to his care or to the number of
the box. But letters addressed
to other persons residing in the
same place, and living and do
ing business, separate and apart
from a box-holder, should NOT
be placed in the box"
The next quarter commences
the Ist of April, and the atten-
ton of those who wish to rent
boxes is called to the above.

Postmaster.

DECLINE IN PRICES.


Prices OF provisions and bread
st1ffs have gradually declined
until they hare now reached a
point about the same as before
the war; that is, they have
come down to specie basis.
As a matter ot'geoeral interest
we quote from the St. Louis
Republican of the Goth inst.
prices OF hog products, four,
!! etc. We find standard mess
pork quoted at s1o.95 to S1o.374
per barrel OF 200 pounds; bacon
shoulders, Il TO A cents; clear
rib and clear sides, 81 and 81
cents; breakfast bacon, s to 9
cents; sugar cured hams. 8 to
10 cents; lard. g to a; COM
mon -four, 1915 to $3.50 per
barrel; the highest priced choice
flour is quoted at $3.50; corn
meal, 1920 TO 1926 per barrel.
Corn is selling at 40 cents a
bnshel, and choice wheat at
s1.15 TO Sl.20. There has been
a similar reduction in nearly
all articles required tor the sup
port OF a family. RI CORE
81 ending reduction has also
taken place in rents, and the
consequence is that a laboring
man can now buy nearly, il
not quite, as much tor one dol
lar as he could for two or two
and a half dollars a few years
ago during the initiation. There
is no doubt i,ut that everybody
is better oft when prices OF
commodities OF every day use
and necessity are moderate in
stead OF unreasonably high. 1t
is certainly better tol'the farmer
if the purchasing power of a
bale of cotton is increased TO
that which would have required
Two bales; and, although money
is scarce and times hard, peo-
pie are in a better condition
than they were when their
pockets were pulled out with
a superauity of greenbacks
that they were axious to spend.
a dollar is a dollar now a
days, and when man gets hold
OF one he generally knows the
value of it.

Benefit OF the Calf. Colorado and
- Santa gs Railway.

The Galveston Jousxai Of
Commerce says the bonds of the
Gull, Colorado and Santa Fe
railroad to the amount of ST.,
800, 600 can be sold immediate
ly upon the guarantee of $4,000
per mile local aid.
Three thousand dollars per
mile local aid may appear to
some as an extravagant price.
In reality, it is not SO. A large
proportion of the land along
the line is as yet wild. If put
on the market without any pros
pect of railroad connection, it
would not bring on an average
three dollars an acre. Each
square mile of land contains
$40 acres. In other words,
taking the county for one mile
on each side of the road we
have 1880 acres of land to the
mile, and all of it'within one
mile of the road. No one who
has watched The progress Of
railroads in this State can doubt
for a moment that, when the
road is completed, the value of
the lands contiguous to the
road, not only for one mile on
either side, but forten to fifteen
miles viii almost as if by magic
become largely enhanced in
value. In probably less than
a year all the lands within the
limits mentioned, not in culti-
walton, will be worth from one
to two hundred per cent. more
than they now are. Taking the
1880 acres within a mile of the
road, as an example, to be
worth six dollars an acre, in
stead of three, and we have a
gain in value of $3.50 per
mile. This is $50 over the
amount of local aid asked, and
miles of territory on both sides
of the road that are benhtted
fully as much in proportion to
value as that Immediately con-
tiguous to the road. This sub
ject is worthy of the earnest
consideration of those who are
most directly interested. :
The company, in asking aid,
makes a very fair and liberal
proposition. They do not ask
dollar of money until the road
is completed over the territory
to be Immediately benefited.

The Work Done and to be Done.

Since the passage Of the silver
bill bonds are going up instead
of down, and COLL is coming
down instead of going up. just
the reverse OF what the anti-sil-
yer men said would.be the result.
The silver bill works admirably,
and is not injurious to the ma
tional credit, as prophesied.
Now let us go a step further,
and repeal the resumption act,
and then a step further and re-
peal the law establishing the
national banks, and let the gov
eminent Issue the U. S. treasu-
ry notes, or greenbacks, and the
people will soon prosper again.
-Cotman's Rural World.
The above expresses the views
of the BANNER with, the excep-
ton, that i'll addition, it favors
the unlimited coinage of silver
or the issue of silver certificates
which would convert silver bull
lion into money without coinage.
The issue of national bank cur
rency should he abolished.

The Liberian ship Azor was
consecrated at Charleston on
the 22d by Bishop Brown, of
the A. NJ. E. church. Five
thousand people were present.
Several speeches were made,
one speaker saying: an this
country the negro is a nation of
boot-blacks, hostlers, and house
servants; a race ofmenials; if he
wishes to rise he must go where
he is on an equality with his
surroundings" These remarks
it is thought expressed the SEN
timents of a large majority of
the negroes, who propose seek
ing liberty and equality in the
happy land of Liberia.

JUsT at this day and time we
have exactly three kinds oflegal
tender money gold, silver and
greenbacks; the latter however
however is not a legal tender
for custom dues. Gold is worth
l per cent more than greenbacks
and greenbacks are worth 3 per
cent, more than silver although
gold and silver are, in law, equal
in value. Resumption means
equalization in value of notes
and coin, both gold and silver.
The balance of trade is now
something like SIoo,ooo,ooo in
favor of this country, that is our
exports exceed our imports by
that amount, Secretary Sherman
proposes an easy mode of equal
izing gold, silver and greenbacks
bymaking greenbacks receivable
for customs; this would at once
do away with the demand for
gold and silver dollars, which
under existing laws are alone
receivable for duties on imports.
