The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1880-10-07

IN his speech. in Tammany Hall,
September 2Sd. Senator Ben Hill of
Georgia, said:
approach the issues as Il Southern
man and ask: Is it wise. Is it just. is
it patriotic, to tell the people of one
section of this land that they must
hate those of the other: The Re
publican party says il is wise and pa
triotic, but they do not believe their
own assertions. Until recently |
cherished the hope that such an is
sue would never again be presented
to the American people. 1t seems
to me singular that the argument
should be advanced by the Rcpub-
icans that the Democratic party
should not be trusted because the
South chooses 10 adhere 10 that
party. People who are ruled by
reason and intelligence and not by
evil passions do not believe that the
serious charges made against Us are
true. We all belong TO the same
country, our destinics are the same.
We must stand or fall together.
There is one fact which Republicans
of intelligence-ROscoc COnkling
Dlcluded-do not appear TO grasp.
II is simply this. There existed at
! one time South that advocated re-
bellion and slavery. That South Is
dead. The South which now exists
is o believer in full liberty
and in the Union OF these
States. We are educating TO-
600 colored children in our schools.
The colorea people have found from
bitter experience that the Democrats
of the South are better friends and
more worthy of trust than the
Radical carpet baggcrs of the North,
whose motto is 10 rob the Southern
whites Of all they can. and the poor
blacks OF all they have. Is it any
wonder that the darkies turned
around and became Democrats?

DoS CAMERON, who il now in
Washington, admits that the Repub-
licans' hope of success in this cs'n-
paign hangs on a slender thread. If
the business classes can be made to
believe that the country will go to
smash in the event of Garfield's de-
feat, the Chicago nominees will
stand fair chance of success, but if
the soaring" programme should
fail. change will be inevitable.

In making this result the average
price for cotton and the minimum
price OF goods is used. The estimate
on labor is too liberal. since the
operatives would be two-thirds
women and girls, and money saved
on this item would pay the small ex-
pense of baling and boxing goods.
But lot rs make more liberal esti-
mate, and admit that $50 more per
day will be needed than the
above figures call for, still we
have 500 per day left as a
premium on manufacture. With
500 working days in the year. this
gives a surplus of $4,000. The cot
ton handled in one year at such a
mill would be 1920 bales, valued at
$S1, 900, and the South Carolina mills
show that the premium on manufac-
ture is double the value of the cot
ton. From the Colorado river there
could be collected. with sufficient
outlay, ten times the power taken
from this little creek in South Caro-
lima, and the expense of obtaining
power for a mill running $50 or
500 looms would be small. Are we
to go along forever without an en-
terprise to build up and maintain
Austin, or viii our capitalists give
us this little mill as a starter? If
they win do this, in twenty years
thereafter there will be 5000 looms
turning ont cloth on the banks of
the Colorado river, and Austin mills
would then annually convert 24.sOO
bales ofcotton, worth 81, ,2l5, 900 into
SS,0OoOoe yards OF cloth, worth So
$4,000. To demonstrate the yalue
of mills in the midst of our COTTON
fields, and to chow the value of the
Colorado river water for manufac-
turing purposes. II is only necessary
for us TO have this nucleus around
which would, in Q few short years,
cluster industries, giving employ
ment to thousands Of lahorers and
supplying means Of sustenance to as
many people Is now inhabit our
