That "Bed-aeaded Ranger whose voice
Is like the roaring lion and whose brilliant
locks stream like an oridamme, COLONEL
THOMAS PoRrER OcHurBEE, has been re-
Gently saying some good things 10 81, Louis,
and announcing in language more EN-
phatic than .olj,e what his course will be In
the coming congress. We are glad to see
his positive position on the Mexican reoi-
prociy treaty, and his determination to
urge il to the utmost ofhis ability. Weap-
prehend that our people o. Texas do not fully
comprehend the paramount importance OF
this treaty to US. When we consider the
immense volume of paying trade that is
flowing constantly between Mexico and
Europe and return, which the United
States sholld have. and Of which we are d.
priyed by the iniquitous tariff restrictions,
it is a matter of amazement that we have
lain so long apathetc. The tariff
rates are now enormous, varying
from 100 to 500 per cent, which
of course preclu les all legitimate trade
while it encoura ,es demoralizing, petty
smuggling. Undes the proposed treaty
there will be free entrance into our limits
of large number Of Mexican products,
such as coffee; all kinds of fresh fruits. as
oranges, apples, lemons, pineapple, ba-
nanasi goatskins, raw henoquin, sisal

Now, 1t must BIO remembered, that through
this state of Texas and over our railways
must come aud 20 an immense amount OF
the trade in all these products The conse.
quence must be that every city and town
ana village and farm, from Laredo to Tex.
arkana, aud from FL Paso to Sabine, must
feel the healthy impetus. 0urpeopls must
awake to the immensely of the glorious
prospect. GENERAL GRANT and other infu.
entail men are IN accord with us, and we
must combat the opposition that would
keep Texas back from an opening that in a
few years, with this treaty in full blast,
will make her indeed the great Empire
state, not only OF the South, but of the
Union.
