ture proftably here? The railroad
on which you are situated will give
you encouragement in manufactur.
ing, if the company have the good
sense 1 think they have. They are
interested in building up here &
large manufacturing city and max
ing this a prosperous country. II
Huntsville had 10000 inhabitants
and large industries, it would great
ly benefit the railroad. He be-
lieved the company would make
satisfactory arrangements with any
persons or companies desirous of
going into manufacturing.
He wishes to impress on them
that, whilst merchants were valua-
Bile members of society and were
much needed, mere buying and sell
ing and trading never made large
town or prosperous country. You
must have that which creates wealth
and not the mere exchange of pro
ducts. He showed by some strik-
ing examples that commerce fol-
lowed manufactures, and that no
place ever became a great CONNER
cial city that did not have very
large manufacturing interests. He
made some practical suggestions as
to what means were necessary to
improve Huntsville, which we re-
gret all of our business men and
property owners were not there to
hear. He said an enterprising, pub
lic-spirited people were far more
necessary than mere natural advan-
tages. Huntsville had a bright fu-
ture before her if she would avail
herself of the Opportunities offered.
In his lecture he said that if
Huntsville would send one of COM
mittee to visit st. Louis and Gin
cinnati, he believed arrangements
could be made to build one or two
railroads to this place; one from
St. Louis and the other from Gin
cinnati. The expenses would be
very small.
Can any one of our citizens be in
duced to go?
Let 1t be remembered that rail
roads, by the law, are compelled to
pay all attorneys fees in every suit
against them. The people can liti-
gate now.-Franklin Review and
journal.
"Wade in boots, dady's rich,"
seems the injunction of our es-
teemed contemporary. No matter
what be your cause for complaint,
fellow citizens, employ an attorney
and tackle these "soulless corpo
rations," you can have lots of fun
and make money for the army Of
poor, starving lawyers throughout
the state 1t will ..be a great work
OF charity bestowed upon impecuni-
Gus limbs of the law, and labor of
philanthropy in justly harrassing
grinding monopolies." J" Oh, no.!
you never have my dear country
men entered petty litigation against
railroads, through the shyster law
yers who swarm in our courts, so
now you must stand upon the in
alienable rights of the citizen and
pounce upon these fgrasping con-
sumers of the poor mans bread be-
tore every judge ana j. p in the
land. If they don't ring their bells
aud toot their whistles, sue them;
and if they toot their whistles and
ring their bells, sue them. ''They
are compelled to pay all attorneys
fees IN every suit against them"
So let the people ''litigate. A
wise editor Of a country paper, the
same being also a most intelligent
member of your state legislature,
tells you to''litigate"-and give the
lawyer a chance. "Walk in lemons
if you do get squeezed" is the kind
invitation. This is a free country,
and we glory IN legislators who
feed lawyers and protect the dogs
even if business interests and the
sheep Industry "be d-d."-Banner
