The south and Texas have plenty Of "shot-
guns" and know how to use them as well as
ever. But tho south has had no occasoE to
uso them since the surrender Mt Appamsttox.
We voted for Horace Greeley, to convince
the north of this fact. But they refuse TO be
convinced-they are sill "lying and sticking
to it." We voted for General Han
cock, 'soli3,' to convince the north
that we wanted restored Union, with a
patriot and statesman at its executive head;
with justice, peace, prosperity and brotherly
love for ALL But the north refused to be-
lieve us. Had W. gcne in a body to either
Grant or Garfield, the north would have
gone dead against either one of thom. 1t
was General Hancock's personal misfortune
to have been supported by solid south."
Our people now see it, and will probably
never sgain give their united strength to
any presidential candidate. Of course we
cannot tell what four years may
bring about. The south desires an honest
upright government, to be achieved through
pure politics, but speaking particularly for
Texas. we can also say that we desire peace
and an opporl unity to develop our resources
to fill up our fertile but idle lands with indus
trlous immigrants; to build railroads; erect
sohool.houses and busy factories; to dig out
our bars and open our seaports to commerce
These are our great specislties To these
interests, here in Texas, Texans can apply
themselves without exciting the ire of oul
northern brethren.

Since the election there has been much
talk in the south about manufactures, and
such like, to make this section independent ci
the north. This Is ali well enough, but there
is a matter that addresses itself not to aggre-
gate capital ana rich syndicates, but to indi-
yiduals, and has fully as important bearing
upon the independence of the south as cotton
factories or iron foundries TIE south is an
agricultural country, and it is This that gives
it the first prominence. Yet We send to the
north $50 100000 every year to buy wheat we
could raise at home, Here goes thirty NIL
lions out of the profit of tbs cotton crop, that
could Just as well be kept TO improve our
own section. Also the south is good pork
climate, yet as many millions 60 north to pny
for the pork we eat. We send north for our
meal, our cabbagCs, our potatoes, and when
GU" years table of provisions is made upfully
Sl00000,O0O of our cotton money has gone
north to pay for what could have been raised
at home almost without an effort. A Iejple
who live this way will always have their nose
to the grindstone. The talk of beirg indie
pendent of the men who furnish Us our
bre ID is bosh. They will be our masters so
long as they deal us out our rations. All
around we hear our planters say it is cheaper
to buy food than to raise it, that there is
more money in an acre of cotton than an
acre of corn or wheat. Maybe SO, but when
you take that 800 100000 for food
out of the cotton crop, there is
evidently balance on the wrong side
of the ledger, SO far as the south, as
section, is concerned. Is the planter sure,
after ALL that it is cheaper to buy than 10
raise his bread? Is it cheaper for him to en-
courage the general Impeachment Of his
section, even if he does secure All immediate
gain In the long run he will suffer with the
general public. The first step towards indie
pendence is for our people 10 address them
selves to correction Of their erroneous
teaching that ''it Is cheaper to buy than to
raise bread" To eradicate this false theory
is important, even above manufacto'
ries. The cotton mania is responsible
for another great loss to this section. Every
planter, from tie tenant Of ten acre LOT up
to the landlord of as many sections, plants
all the cotton ne can get in the ground.
This prevents attention to other crops, SO
that the little whoa. produced is allowed to
go to destruction at harvest. Then the corn
is allowed to rot in the field because the cot
tor must be picked in the fall. The whole
system of production in the south "a abom'
Unable, Manufactures are we'll enough, but
if the south would travel the road to pros
perity it must begin at the bottom and first
correctthe errors of vicious system.
