A Plethora of Wealth.

From Talmage's Last Sermon.
The prosperity Of this nation has rolled
up until the crest Of the wave has broke n
and recoiled upon itself. More corn and
wheat and cotton and rice than we can
find profitable market for. More manu-
featured goods than we can dispose Of.
The grain markets are glutted and the
factories by the hundreds stopped or
run with only half the spindles har-
messed, and wages are cut down because
the supply has swamped the demand.
Nothing Is the matter to-day with this
country but over production and under
consumption. Where there is work for
ten there are twenty who offer their SER
vices. and the hundred thousand wheels
Of American industry are slowing up,
not because there is too little, but be-
cause there Is too much. God has snowt d
upon the track Of the nation such vast
accumulation Of prosperity that the en-
CINE which draws the train cannot pillow
any further through. The American ma
tion is being choked to death with sur
plus OF production and manufacture.
Too much wheat, too much corn, too
much cotton, too much fruit, too much
coal and iron, too much hardware, too
many dry goods, too many shoes, too
many carpets, too many cattle, too many
artisans, too many merchants. too many
lawyers, too many doctors, and from the
large numbers of excellent men in my
own profession without settlements,
some might think too many ministers.
The deluge Of supply rises fifteen
cubits high above the mountains of de-
mand. The load of national wealth is
greater than the team can draw. The
man who dies for lack Of crust Of bread
Is no worse off than the man who smoth-
ers to death In wheat bin. The ma
tion suffers to-day, not Of marasmus,
but OF plethora; not from consumption,
but from apoplexy. What shall we do?
Let us rush right down to Washington
and have the tariff changed say multi
tude. But put up the tariff as high as
the tip-top house of Mount Washington,
and while you might keep out foreign
goods, we have enough mills Of our own
left to weave ten flannel shirts where
there is one back to wear them, and ten
pair Of shoes for every two feet that need
them, and twenty curtains for every
window that could support them, and
twenty pair Of eye glasses for all the
visions that could be reinforced by them.
| Doctor the tariff with homeopathic, or
allopathic, or electric dose from now I'M
til the Thanksgiving Day of the year
2O00, and you cannot in that way cure
this chronic national malady.

MESQUITE BLOCKS.
A Visit to the Wood Block Side.
walk Factory OF w. Scott.

A LIGHT reporter paid visit recently
to this Interesting factory at 800 to 30s
South Laredo street. When he ap-
preached he found two-story building
and at Its side huge pile OF timber,
which on inquiring he found to be the
mesquite In Its rough state. BY means
OF tramway this timber is put on a
car and by means Of tramway track 1t
reaches the second floor Of the factory,
where an ingenious engine, invented by
MIR. Scott, lifts the timber from tho
track, places 1t on a saw table, and with
marvellous celebrity is cut into four inch
lengths. Ere one can descend the gang
way to the lower story, these four inch
blocks are cut into every imaginable
geometrical shape by various saws.
After undergoing this operation, another
car is loaded with them and the conve-
nient tramways run them until they
reach the houses to which each size Is
assigned. These houses are built In a
row, each one having number. In one
OF these houses Is to be seen the newly
Invented mesquite curb, another inven-
tion by Mr.. Scott. This Is intended TO
take the place Of the old fashioned curb
stone, and good example Of Its success
can be found In front OF the High school
on Acequia street. The great desidera-
tum obtained In this curb Is that no
change of temperature affects 1t. From
the noise Of the saws the LIGHT reporter
visited the engine room, where he found
the motive power which runs this fac
tory is a large Atlas engine, and was
supplied by Messrs. Elmendorf & Com
pany. This is run by Mr.. Soott's
youngest son. Mr.. Scott Is prepared to
TO put down mequite floors or walks Of
any pattern and of various colors. He
guarantees all his work for five years,
and the merits Of mesquite is well
known, as can be testified by the 1000
running feet Of the best sidewalk to be
found In any city. 1t Is not necessary to
debate on the merits OF mesquite side
walks-the proof Of the pudding Is In
eating-and no one can deny that the
proof of their superiority is incontest-
able. The name of Walter Scott, too,
Is so well and favorable known In San
Antonio and this frontier that no COM
ment Is required. He Is one Of the
pioneers Of the mandatory industry Of
San Antonio, and Ii Is hoped he will
reap the harvest he so richly merits. San
Antonio needs a few more men Of Mr..
Scott's intellect and energy to carve out
the hidden treasure that San Antonio
has hid In her raw material.

Alamo Iron Works.

Among the most solid and useful insti-
buttons OF San Antonio is the Alamo Iron
Foundry. This foundry was began about
nine years ago, but the enterprise
dragged along and was n losing speoula-
tion, until about five years ago, when 1t
became the property Of Messrs. Holmn-
green & Sons. This firm, by their in
dominable pluck and hard work, have
demonstrated the fact that foundry
and machine shop will pay in San Anto-
MO. They are now engaged in erecting
new shops and foundry, In order to meet
the large and rapidly increasing business
that seeks them. The new works are
situated on the Southern Pacific railroad
q short distance south of Commerce
street, where there will be sufficient
room to carry on the business. There
Is already erected n foundry 40xS0 feet,
with blast furnace of 5000 pounds an
hour capacity, cleaning room 35x40,
and an office and store room 20x35. This
Is for immediate use, and will be occu-
pied in few days. Soon will follow the
machine shop 30xl00 feet and engine
room 30x40. This foundry and machine
shop will be one of the most complete in
the Southwest. The work turned out
by the Alamo Iron Works speaks for it.
self, the most notable of which is the
new Kampmann building, the Dullnig
and the new Maverick buildings and al
most all the new buildings In the city.
They have some 40 hands employed and
the weekly pay amounts to some $500.
They are also manufacturers agents for
engines, pumps and everything In that
line. The foundry department you will
find complete in every particular, and
they can make castings from three
ounces to two tons, They have con-
stantly on hand iron ratings for bal
comics, galleries and graves, which are
executed in the latest and most artistic
style. For finish their work is not ex-
celled In the State, and their wonderful
success is but the reward of merit.
Their new works will be a model Of Its
kind, and with the increased facilities
| they will be enabled to even excel their
| past work. 1t is now not necessary to
send North for any kind Of iron work,
for Messrs. Holmngreen & Some can I'LL
| your orders just as well and at a great
saving in freight. Besides, by patron
izing them you assist In building up a
worthy enterprise and keeping your
| money at home.

SOMETHING ABOUT SMILES.
A Plea for the Use of An@sthetics
in the Photographers Studio.

Bill Nye, in Denver Opinion.
There are many varieties Of the genus
smile. There's the smile that Is child
like and bland, the cultivated smile, and
the plebeian smile that rlpples forth like
the first joyous laugh Of the boiler fac
tory, and that spreads out with gurgle
that closes the eyes, trots out the wis
dom teeth, then shows a roguish dlmple
In the tonsils.
There might be enumerated, also, the
classical smile, the subdued smile, the
parlor smile, the sacred smile, the before
election smile, the after-election smile,
and the smile that you get two for a
quarter, called the twofor smile.
Then we have the stage smile and the
portrait smile. DO you call to mind the
genial smirk which is, In fact, the thin
silk overskirt OF joy covering the silica
sham OF nameless woe? Do you hap
pen to have about your home the photo
graph Of friend whose petrifled gayety
fills your eyes with briny weep?
Joy is something that we cannot seize
ruthlessly and lead 1t into the photo
grapher's laboratory by the ear. I've
tried that. | always leave my umbrella
and my hope behind when go into the
photographers gilded hell. / can laugh
while the dentist pulls my sound teeth
and plugs the poor ones, and l can even
be gay while nature and the cucumber
OF commerce are engaged In mortal COM
bat, but cannot affect Joy that do
not feel while the cast-iron hat-rack Of
the artist leans against my love ofhome,
and the artist bids me look at a place on
the wall that is freckled with iodine.
l am positive that the art of pho
Biography Is upon the eve of grand
stride toward perfection. Those who
have never seen anything on the eye Of
a grand stride will find little Of interest
in what | am about to say; but the day
Is not far distant when no sane man will
have his photograph pulled without the
administration OF an anmsthetic. Cut
this out and see II am not right.

phrase Of an old poem Is dedicated by
an admirlng friend:
MIXED VI.
I've wandered through the village, Tom,
Along with Little Joker,
To listen to the hooking bird
In the cottage by the sea,
While Reeds gray mare was never beat
At smoking Little Joker.
The colored girl and poor old Ned
Are smoking Little Joker;
I'd offer thee this hand of mine,
Susanna, don't your cry,
For publicly or on the sly
Wen be smoking Little Joker.
Hark, hear nm angel sing.
He's smoking Little Joker;
We're coming father Abraham,
Along with Anna Lyle,
The girl left behind me,
All are smoking Little Joker.
The nice young man and fairy belle
Are smoking Little Joker;
And the Captain with his whiskers
He dotes on Little Joker;
We will rally round the flag, boys,
For Johnny stole the ham
Yankee Doodle Hail Columbia.
They all smoke Little Joker.
