creased, and in some States 1t is very
low"
Here arc eleven States with an area
nearly twice as largo aud an aggre-
gate population four times as large az
Texas, showing in six years an eggTe-
gate increse in values of $Gil 900, zoe.
In the Same time in this State alone,
1t is, in the absence Of exact figures,
safe TO say the increase ia values
has reached $3OO,OOOOOO or moIe,
or nearly one-half taat OF all
the southeast OF the Mississippi.
The.value OF Texas property, assessable
now, reaches in round numbers, $780,
100000, or nearly one-fourth the asses
sed value Of all the South, between the
Potomac and tho Mississippi, 10 say
nothing Of Arkansas.
In tho matter OF railroad building,
than which there is no better criterio
Of grow5h and business activity, Texas
leads oil tho South, In 1879, in the 10
Southern States beyond tho Missis-
sippi, there wero some 1900 miles ia
round numbers. Now tho figures
reach 1900, or say an increase OF 49,.
per cent. In Texas, in 1870, we had
but 2,500 miles Of railway. Now We
have about $500 milep, or an increase
OF 100 per cent. greater than that OF ali
the southeast of the great river. Or,
in other words, Ioarly 1000 miles Of
railway have been built in Texas
alone, while 10 other States were
building but 5000 miles.
In the matter Of population and de-
Velopment it has been still more re-
markable. Take, for example, tho six
principal cities in this state--Gllves-
ton, Houston, San Antonio, Waco,
Fort Worth and Dallas. In 1880 their
aggregate population was about $1,000
souls, whllo now it is 10000 or more,
acc )rding to the best estimates and
local c0nsus3s. Botween 1870 ana 1880
the increase in the State was almost
l0J per cont, and that growth h2s beon
kept up since 80. In no other state,
nor In ell tho South, wa3 the growth
moro than onafourth of this per cen..
The enlargement of Tho cities men
toned ia but an illustration Of tho in
crease in population ia noarly every
county in Texas, our present popula-
ton being estimated at considerably
over 100000.
In tho matter Of manufactures, other
States, notably Georgia and South Car
ollna, have Outrun uJ, but we haYo |
compensated 10 degree Cor this lack |
OF manufacturing enterprise by iorg-
ing ahead in agriculture, producing
now tho largest cotton and grain |
crops in tho South. Tho pic.
turo is an attractive one Tor
Texans to dwell upon. 1t illustrates
