C,ibraItar speaks.

cuuraEtS Hc lo IuhAe some extreme effort to suggest to you practical solu- tion of the problem under discusslon- How to remedy our territorial trade depression" It does not actually re- quire a statesman to observe that the waters of river diverted from its accus toned channels and used for other pur- poses than navigation, will eventually create shoals md san6bars, dangerous to water crafts, and subjecting ships and boats of commerce 70 wToctags and total loss. Upon Q similar hypothesis you can divert the fiOanc.si stream of any state or territory from it's original course (which, by right, should be home patron ago) and ! Ou naturally 1CFio,e tac Llgu- CIal waters ut your own teTrltoTy. and make it tIlbUte Co some distant financial streams wherein large cra!.s sre sailed < the future expense Ct yuJ.r oTs .Frs- pcrIty and tLc complete stEgGatg- oi your business and enur5 line Cr home IEausJrlcg. To eSeLp.-sy, J Wlli s4sIu lew lleas .oT digestion Montgomery. Nagd d O., Ct Chicago, hGy, paDpulsia and catalogues, each with five thousand sIIsirlt ted plctG-cs, distributed Lll ever iuis territory, ELd, ! regret to say, Int .l- vlii mud tLC.g advertisement .n sC-.e of our territorial newspapers, side by side win tGCse oi our home merchants. BiOOmiugdale Bros, of New York City. MInstOck X LubIn, of Sacramento, and others, have thousands Of catalogues and circulars distributed broadcast over thIs territory. These are read by every lit- tie girl from 10 to I5 years of age, and SO on respectively up the path of ages. The consequence Is, that these books read constantly at the ireside, and splendidly Illustrated, draw greatly Ep0n the imagination and appeal earn ss.iy for patronage. The United States
 mail furnishes an avenue oi obtaining these articles with great ease Ln3 dis patch. The result Is the home merchant .s overlooked, ignored and completely forgotten, and The very life-giying prop critics Of Q community are sent away t0 build palaces iI New York and erect colossal merchGu disc empCriums iu Chicago. This is but the clothing de- pertinent of the question. How is it with the ea.able5 aud necessities 0f fife:
 How many living within this territosy &
 their living by the EesidenteTs CI tlis territory, send away for groceries Co Cal if0rnia, for poultry and eggs likewise even as far east as ihs state of kausls,
 thus killing those industries within ter rItorisl limits, and placing the farmer ol the footing of a hand -to-mCuth toileg.
 You will fad some of the Legislature and attaches of of the last Arizona Leg isllture, who enjoyed the benefits of .Ae
 Territorial iinancIal crib now enjoying California climate, having shaken of the dust of Arizona from tEeIr feet. Are not these instances that l mention proof Of a terrific strain upon tue hnauccs 0f q State or ot : IeTTIt-.y? II ysu send your money away for purchases it will be that much less in circulation a. home and It needs no great philosopher to SD expound II. You asG me wuat remedy l propose? l answer that there IS no Territorial law, that can come in cOutiIct with tGe United States mail, sou must loos for your remedy Tn .the a.l important word, self protection. Tle days of OK teams and slow postal service have passed away, you are facing tbe progress of the world concgntTutel within the United StBtes. TEe railroads bave annihilated space, tle telegraph hus annihilgted time, and the printing press run by steam aud shortly to be aC- celerated by jbe addition of electricity has become for good or evil a power all powerful. l suggest that the home merchant deals more lerient!y with Co pillars of J0UrLa!isnl. that a better uu- de-staudl1g be entered .intO between the men whO illustrate t. the world ibe resources Of our Territory, and the mer- chants who are doing business within the Territory, tLat you Invoke to yJar aII ali the l0Wa. oL tl- lrl-t-I1 press at home and Coltria-te lIbes-liy g. t-c fr- Ul gs-lCs g-- I-ls ire W4'- Ere.

Ny climate is here. hiy interests are here. l would suggest to yOu tlat Ii necessary "iLe self Protective League of Arizona be formed that no man be elected to the LesislalaTe of Arizona unless he ls a. land or property owner ia ArizOuB, that none uut permanent and actual residents of ;his Territory shall hold the benefits oi Ia.a -sTr rFFraa drawing pay from the Legislature. This importation Carpet BaE system must be done away with. Individually I will give my vote to such 6 league, and a combined News paper press Of the Territory recognizing the vital princi ples at issue, will form themselves into g cOhort Of protection, so strong, that the thousand and one skeptlcs that arise in opposition will fall and fail a wreekaye of their own imbeclllty. Charity begins at home, patriotism con- ettutes protection of home and fireslde, and | an in favor of that patriotism which says Arizona first, last and all the time. in preference to building up uaboh princes in New York and colOs- sal millionaircs Tn Chicago and SanEran- cisco. And now when 1 look out upon this array of the wealth and beauty ot this once ancient city of Tucson now remodeled and modernized, and behold here likewise the representatives from all over the Territory, l cannot help but feel convinced that the beginning of q vigorous campaign has been instituted and that the ominous cloud of trade de- pressed, and finances stagnated will 500 n be shattered into ten thousand pieces and the unhomogeueousp parts will uev T, never. never te permitted to come to- gether agGIn so long Bs Arizona and We shall have a free will of our own.
