Investments IA the direction we have lndi-
Gated. Chicago was built Mp with Boston
capital not alone her houses, business
and resident, but her manuiactur-
ing enterprises. The same Is true
| of Milwaukee and other cities. IL
! IS small moment to us Just now
who shall erect our factories. We care but
little who builds our railways, Mr.. Gould
or Mr. Smith or Mr.. Jones; the roads are
with us and are developing our trade,
facilitating the operations Of our citizens in
all conceivable manner. SO IL is with facto-
ries, VIC should care as little where the
money comes from, if we have it not our
selves. as we do about the color of the eyes
or the stature of the laborer.. who performs
the manual labor. Now how best TO set
forth our advantages. how best
VI TO induce capitalists to seriously look
into our wants, is question of much
concern TO us all. The newspapers lave
. done much, very much, to preach our
claims from hilltop and valley. the immi-
, grafton agencies have contributed large
share toward the work, the railroad compa-
mics have also extensively advertised us,
, But cannot something be done by the citl'
, zens of Dallas to show the peculiar advan'
: tages that Dallas presents over all other
pOin.s? Ono individual here and another
: one there may accomplish considerably BY
letter-writing or by personal intercourse
q but it occurs to us that if somt
/ concert of. action could be had
6 whereby the endorsement of the whole
+. city could be had, there would be mora
!, effect attained not otherwise attainabie
i Circular letters setting forth what our spe
e cal offerings are, what sort OF factories
L could proftably be run, and why our facii
g tiles for the getting offuel and other suci
: things, and these properly, judiciously dis
s tributed, or presented by proper parties
. acting as a committee for these citizens a
J. large, might accomplish much. Wemerely
h throw out this as a suggestion. There may
/ lie. and doubtless are, other methods large
o improvements upon it. But we desire t
4 impress upon the minds of our peop.e th'
n necessity of at once doing something ina
i llmake Dallas to rise within the next fly'
s years from a city Of 10000 population 10 a
!. leost 10000, if indeed not $4,000. Kansas
4 CITY progressed in this wise after she has
: secured her railways. Indianapolis saw eX
: actlv the same fate. We have, orwill have
l. in n few months, all the railways centenns
|, here that we need. Now let us avall our
!. selves OF them, and fix the status OF Dalia
Y forever. Let ms follow the examples OF AT
: lnnta and Richmond, and we shall sooi
O outstrip both. Let US know no suci
! thing us let-up in our energies
: and our ambitionings Some Two years
0 ago it was generally conceded that all I'M
|, rich region of country must have s2Eif
: Grand focal point for distributing purposes
/. THAT question has been decided now, let US
! see that we so position ourselves that IL
I will never again be rcopenod, We urged
c we pushed Tie matter of securing OF rai''
: ways. and some incredulous ones thought
5 and asserted we were striving for too much
= vet we recognized what was the first step
! We propose now, with equal ardor and per
\ tinacitv, to continually urge the erection
Y of manufacturing industries until ever!
part of our city shall be busy with the forge
o the loom, and the manufacturers machinery
