The Waco daily examiner. [volume] (Waco, Tex.) 187?-1888, 1885-08-02
First OF August.

Looking back from to-day 10 this
day one year since, vast business
changes and chances come under The
vison. Then we were in the latter
half OF the third year of inferior crop
results. Doubt aud gloom filled the
hearts of the people. Not that there
was any real cause of alarm, for with
all the grooming about crop failures
the people had actually made enough,
not only for subsistence but for busi'
ness profit. But our people are so
APT TO grumble. 1t seems second
nature with them. No matter how
lavishly God showers blessings upon
them they yet find something TO coin-
plain of, and they arraign almighty
power and goodness because every
year is not u tip top crop year. This
course is not only unwise but il is sin
full. II not only unnecessarily demon
lilies the people but it is n wicked
flying in the face ofOmnipotence. In
contrast to the pinched and parched
condition of trade last fall, we see Oh
every hand the utmost hopeful conf
dence. The people are VIGOROUSLY
strong in their faith that they will be
more than able to meet everything at
maturity, and the long deferred im-
proyements may be attempted with
reasonable hopes of early completion,
without the hopeless inyolvment OF
the farmers. Every farmer is setting
M piBws ieS9faffs u9pEon running inning
prairie soil, and the mosi
of them are buying new implements
building new houses and barns oil
competently repairing old ones, and
there is certain indefinable cont
dence and bearing which speaks onl,
of progress and substantial advance
ment. OF course this condition pre-
vailing among the agriculturists ha'
its good effects richly distributed t.
all classes. Upon the farmer depend
all other branches of human industry
especially is this grandly true OF Tex
rs, because we are agricultural and
pastoral, instead of mineral aud man
ufacturing. The magnitude of oul
operations may be summed up briefly
us follows: And it must not be for
gotten that the cost OF living to oul
agrioulturists is less than TO anyothel
people Oh earth.
The cotton crop of the state will bt
in the neighborhood of 100000 bales
probably, If a clean pick is had, il will
exceed that estimate. This is Just u,
good for $lO0,OOO,O00, as one dollai
is for another. II commands money
down at any and all seasons, under
any and all circumstances. Tn,
wheat crop of the state cannot fall
short of 100000 of bushels and i
may 90 TO ten. This, at seventy fv,
cents per bushel will give us the enor
nous aggregate of s6,O00,O00. In oati
we make S3,000,OOO; IN corn we max,
