SOUTHERN PROSPERITY.

That the southern states have
made wonderful strides in advance
ment and general prosperity with
in the past ten years is a generally
admitted fact. That a greater
and brighter future awaits
her, is also true. Upon this
subject that popular and infuen-
tial southern journal, the Louis
vile courierJoprnal, takes the
following retrospective view of
chr general prosperity: aa4 4.a
"Tbe sou i.h vigorous and pros
perons, stands on the ,nrespold OF
the new year with hands out ~
pockets and feet off the fender.
With splendid haryests and with
tireless hands the emancipation
seems TO be in sight. Courage and
frugality have Brought about the
regeneration. The. underbrush has
been cleared away; the swamps
have become fertile fields and the
manhood of the sonth, walks erect
in the sunlight. The tillers have
climbed down from their seats on
the fences, and the gold-headed
cane has been beaten into a paper
weight for bank checks. There is
a general taking off of coats and
'lengthening of suspenders- The
fields laugh again with the glad
ness of the harvest. On every
side can be seen the effect of this
new spirit that has come among us.
Our homes are finer and happier,
a sure indication that our hearts
and purses are bigger and better.
The process of evolution is most
gratifying. Beginning Mt Louis
vile, we have every reason to be
proud of her enterprises and the
development that has followed.
Her ambitious commercial inter-
ests have laid peaceful hands on
NEW anu NdiustUiC. lCIIllOEN. IcT
representatives have penetrated
even into Mexico, and the enter
prise is nearing good fruit. This
cheerful prospect extends from the
Ohio to the Gulf. A few days ago
a half hundred northern capital
lists visited Chattanooga and vicini-
ty for the sole purpose of making
investments in farms and mining
lands and sights for manufactures.
The drift of capital indicates the
presence of'"pay dirt" And so it
is all over the south. For every
furnace that blows its pampered
life out in the north We will event
ually show two in the south. The
iron and the coal and the timber
and the gold are all there; the
fields are well titled and fruitful;
the people are working out, with
honor to themselves, the problem
of success; and, lastly, the war is
hardly a memory"

Iris almost impossible for the
people to adopt course which
will, in the long run, produce bet
ter results than the plan that gives
temporary help. A city or a state
will plunge into debt and leave
posterity to meet the obligations
rashly incurred. A selfish policy,
which seems for a time to give
good results, is more popular than
that which looks ahead. So leg
islature will exercise its arbitrary
power in order to relieve its con-
stituents at once, even though the
next generation suffers:
If the people of Texas, and 9th
err states where reductions have
been made in rates by the legisla-
lures or commissioners, had wait
ed few years they would have
had many more railways and much
lower rates. But they preferred
to interfere now, cut down charges
and let their children take care Of
themselves. The policy Is not 4
wise one.-Railway Register.

THE London Times says that the
continued depression in trade is a
puzzle to the community. The re-
vival of 1870 was but temporary,
and merchants now complain that
their profits have either disappear
ed altogether or are extremely
small, while great industries are
adm TIED in distress, and nowhere
is there real prosperity. But it is
merely the speculative trade which
is depressed. The hand to mouth
trade is fully maintained. The
chief cause of the~lengthened de,
preston, the writer thinks, is to
be found in the series of bad har.
vests.

: SEG4R,

The tariff question. is one which
has involved decentralization of
many of the best thinkers Of this
country. And wAiIe-it may ap-
pear strange the deep thinkers are
not at all pecuniarilyinterested, or
at best but very little. One oftheI
best and simplest Illustrations of
the working of the present tariff is
this; The sugar interestsin Louis
lana are such as to reqaire pro-
tective trriff; a duty OF about two
and half or three cents is.levied
and collected on sugar sugar is
an article of universal consumption
in the United States; sugar cane
can only be raised below the frost
line; the plant being a tropical one,
yet the consumers of sugar III
Maine, Minnesota and Wisconsin
are put under contribution to keep
the sugar planters of Louisiana
and Texas up by paying from two
and a halt to three cents Il pound
more than the sugar is actually
worth. Mexico, Cuba, Central
America and the Sandwich Islands
are all sugar producing countries,
and in those countries labor is
comparatively cheap; the laboring
man who makes thirty or forty
cents n day thinks that he does
we'll; the climate, is much miIder
than ours and clothing and food
are much cheaper, for that reason
the laborer fares equally as well
as he does in the more rigorous
climate of the United States, and
it is evident that the labor of the
tropics does not come in competi-
ton with our own. The Iaboref
is worthy Of his hire, no matter
whether he works under the trop-
zeal sun or in the rigorous regions
of northern Russia. For this rea-
son the people of one section OF
the country OF more properly
speaking the world, should not
have 2 constitution levied upon
them to support Others. Every
tub should stand upon its OWN bet
tom.

THE Gonzales Inquirer for the
last week comes out on the half
shell, and in addition is not only
sucked in but deceived by fraud
ulent advertising firm at Easton,
Pa, who for years, about the holi-
day season, have taken in and done
for unwavy country newspapers in
Texas. The Easton advertisement
is. calculated to catch the unwary
and the religously inclined editor
as it offers u premium for informv-
ton concerning that good book,
the Bible; but like all swindlers
they have bug under the clip
the bug in this case is the require
ment ola remittance of 90 cents in
silver-no postage stamps taken.
If any one has twenty cents to
send TO Easton, Pa, on such a wild
goose chase it may be we'll enough
for them to get rid of their money
and the Easton man will grow fat
and laugh. Whenever the fools
are all dead the world viii be
ready TO come to an end.

"a
This, New Years morning, 1884,
the Danny BANNER begins the ninth
yearo its. publication. I'VE have
as a matter of necessity, reduced
its size from seven TO siX-col-
umn paper, but we have. also re
duced the size of our type, so that
we give fully as much, if not more
reading matter than we did for
merly. The DAILY BANNER has
done much to advance the interests
of Brennan, it has worked long
and hard for the benefit of its town
and surrounding country, and it,
now after nine years, is compelled
rs a matter of business necessity,
to reduce its size instead of enlarg-
ing; but, we enlarge our weekly
paper and can say without fear of
being contradicted that Brennan,
small as it is, publishes the best
weekly in the interior of Texas.
The proprietors of the BANNER are
here to stay, they have been here
many years and have encountered
much opposition. Every time a
new paper has been started there
was a seeming disposition to
"boost it." but we have been here
long enough TO bury half dozen
papers and will in all probability
bury as many more. The question
is frequently asked, why do We
not get out first-class paper like
the Galveston News, the Houston
Post, San Antonio Express or Dali
las Heraldy The reason is very
plain to us-the patronage does
not justify us in so doing, and the
day is not very far distant in which
towns the size of Brennan will
have to be contented with an even
ing local paper with very few
dispatches, if any at all. A local
paper can only be supported by
liberal advertisers, and we are
sorry to say that this town does
not supply them. The state is
growing and the BANNER will grow
with it, if it is given the proper
support and encouragement. 1t
has done reasonably well; tits not
in debt, and will not so into debt ;
and as stated before, all We ask is
fair and reasonable amount of
business. The subscription lists OF
the DAILY and WEEKLY BANNER are
now larger than they ever were in
the past and are daily growing, but
the expenses of getting out the pa
pers are also growing at a fearful
rate, much faster in fact than our
business justifes. With these few
remarks we promise to have moth
ing more of a personal nature to
say to our readers for the ensuing

GEORGIA and South Carolina are
reaping some of the fruits of their
proscriptive policy towards the
railways, which are far from being
satisfactory, Rates have been re-
duced by tho commissioners Hntil
there is littleif any margin ofprofit
left. The results are that the own
ers of the existing railways are
dissatisfied and capitalists are not
willing to put any more money
into such enterprises in these
states.
1t is a great mistake for a state,
which is in urgent need of addi-
tional railway facilities, 10 place
any restrictions upon the COM
panies that will prevent them
from realizing a return to the
owners. If rates sFe too high,
that fact tends to attract capital,
and competing lines, and compete

ton in rates.-St. Louis Railway

EVERY NAN TO HIS TRADE.

II is an old saying that business
is business, and it is equally true
that any man who attends to bust
ness should be master of his par
ticular speciality. The day has
long since passed when the +Jack
of all Trades" could roam at large
through the country and make a
good living by doing very bad
work. This aphorism is made APP
parent by the present very detcc-
tive system of free schools now in
vogue throughout the state. A
great many men and women are
engaged in teaching country
who really have no prac-
teal knowledge of the art" for
such it undoubtedly is. At this
day and time every man has or
should have his own profession or
business one man cannot be equal,
" as successful rs a physician
preacher, farmer or lawyer as he
would be had he made the occupa
tion his special study. The neees-
sites of the times demand that
every worker, no matter what his
business or profession may he,
should be a perfect master of his
business, and this necessity is
made palmer day by day. The
time is now rapidly passing when
the jack-leg lawyer, inferior preach
er, or halfeducated physician can
practice his calling and make any
thing like a respectable living.
The world is rapidly becoming
very thickly populated, and the
masses are demanding and requir-
ing more education than was nee
essary thirty, forty, or fifty years
ago, when the sturdy pioneers
went west to grow up with the
country, and with nothing except
a wife, a rife and the most prima-
tive cooking-utensils, but even un-
der such adverse circumstances
the west has grown up and been
blotted out or off, of all the
late maps, and now the people
of this great and prosperous
country living on the Pacific coast
have all the conveniences enjoyed
in the older states or for that mat
ter in the mother country itself,
old England. The time is now at
hand when every man should be a
master of his calling, no matter
whether he be a professional man
or simply a mechanic or artesan.
Proficiency will always make it.
self manifest and the proficient
man is not at all liable to be re-
duced to want If he has a good
head and willing arms and hands.
