San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1886-03-10

The President of the Chicago Live
Stock Exchange has been interesting
himself in trying to secure the putting
on of double deck cars on the Texas
railroads, so as TO facilitate the transport
tation of hogs and muttons. The Texas
pool caused the withdrawal of these cars
by all the Texas roads, and now none
use them, unless the cars are double
decked at the shippers expense. The
Texas Live stock Journal, of Fort
Worth, has taken the initiative in this
State in aiding the President of the Chi
cago Live Stock Exchange, by request
ing the sheepmen to write to that gen
tleman, and sent the following circular
letter to the sheepm-n to be filled up by
them:
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1886-03-10

J
TO the President Chicago Live Stock
Exchange:
Dear Sir.-IIearing of your efforts to
secure double deck cars for the trans
portation of sheep, we would add our
mite in appreciation and influence in the
furtherance OF the movement. The lack
of double deck cars practically cuts OIL
Texas from the mutton market, and thus
works great loss to sheep raisers, the
sale OF muttons being one Of the very i'm
portant items Of profit in the business.
/ own - sheep, OF which -
per cent. are muttOns, which are prac-
tically now out of the market for want
Of double deck cars, and are allowed
to run on the range until they die of old
age.
Some 81 sheepmen have filled up this
blank letter, which have been forwarded
to its destination. These sheepmen
represented 42i, 800 sheep, OF which l6l,-
S2S are nations. 1t would require 500
double cars TO haul these TO market
while at present nearly all Of this bust
ness is lost to the roads, and the item of
the sale of mutton to the ranch interests,
or course these lGl,S2S is a very small
per cent OF the entire number, which
may be safely estimated at 500, 900 NUT
tons that could be probably marketed
were the rates within reason. The $780,
900 muttons would require 1900 double
deck cars to transport them to market.
This business is lost to the railroads OF
not only Texas but those leading to st.
Louis and Chicago, by the withdrawal
of double deck cars from the Southwest
ern system.

a R.,,ro.d Instead.

1T is well-known that congress has
been and is still being petitioned to
adopt measures to forward the Henne-3
pin canal scheme. The organized work.
ers are endorsing the idea because it
will give employment to thousands who
are now Idle. The following petition is
now beng circulated in the north and
east, and The ENQUIRER is of the oI1n-
ion that this is the better scheme:
resentatives of the United States of Amer
lea, in Congress Assembled:
" To carry out the objects of the govern
ment, we, the Undersigned voters of the
United States, petition your honorable
bodies as follows. fs- 2:r..
l, We demand that no canal be made
from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi
river at any point. "
2. We demand that so much of the
20,OOO,O 900 proposed for the construction
of this canal, as may be found neces-
sary, may be appropriated to build a
double tracked, steel-rail rail-highway
from Chicago or any other points on the
great Lake 10 the Mississippi river.
This because the railroad will cost less
money and carry more freight than q
canal, and because it will be usable at
all seasons of the ear. -

Needed More Room.

The friends and patrons of Fred H.
Taft, the peoples dry goods merchant,
will be pleased to know that he has en-
larged ad improved his store-room. so
that he is now better able than form
erlv to accommodate his customers. He
has secured the room adjoining the one
which he has been occupying since open
ng in this city, and. having connected
the two rooms with three large arches,
now has one of the most commodious
and convenient dry goods and notion
emporiums in this city. Carpenters and
painters have been at work upon the
premises for ten davs, and as a result of
their labors 'Taft's store" presents
bright and cheerful appearance. He has
added to his clerks, which fact, taken in
connection with his present convent
ences in handling goods, is assurance
that all customers can be shown the
goods promptly and enabled to make
their selections without delay.
Mr.. Taft desires to assure the readers
of The ENQUIRER that, Notwithstanding
the great expense he has incurred in re-
modelling and doubling the size of his
store, he will still sell dry goods and
notions cheaper than any other house in
Denver. If YOU don't think SO, go and
investigate for Yourselves. r. ,

4 SPECIES OF 1sav1srTros.

The Republican thinks the railroad
strikers of Texas are carving the boy
cott SO far as to make it ''s species of in
uuisition." It thinks the boycott should
only be used against employers of con-
vict labor. Well, this is good. Did the
editor of the Republican ever stop to
think that the railroads and other cor
porations were the first to start the boy
cotting business or does he consider
the discharge of a man from employ
ment because he belongs to labor Or
ganization boycotting2 2 F. -.-
The cause of the trouble on the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Texas railroads is the
boycotting by the company of the
Knights of Labor the Republican
could learn this from its own columns.
The only difference in the methods OF
using the boycott is, that the corpora
tions play it to win, and back it up with
deuuty sherifs, and Winchester rifles,
while the. workingmen surrender when
they find that peaceable means fail
them.
Why the Republican makes dlstinc-
ton against employers of convict labor
do not understand, unless it is directly
interested in some one besides Richard
son getting the contract for the capitol
building.
Oh, superfclality, thy name is IRE,
publican.

THE aristocratic uptown Christians do
not like to attend the religious services
of Mrs. Van Cott because they are held
on Blake street. The social atmosphere
of thst locality is too much for the SEN
sitiveness of the wasp. wasted, frescoed,
diamond-plastered dudesses of Capitol
hill, and they have asked that the meet
ings be held in another locality. This
is really too bad. The only reason
which can be assigned for the dislike of
the blue-blooded followers of the man
born in stable to the Tabernacle is be-
csuse it is so close to Holladay street.
Thew needn't be afraid of Holladay
street it works on different line from
theirs; and If they fear to soil their fine
habllaments, will simply remind the
bankers wives that there are just as fine
dresses on Holiday street as there are
on Capitol hill, and about the same men
bought them.

In another part of this issue will be
found petition which is being circu-
lated in some sections of the. country.
It asks that, instead of the government
appropriating S2O,OO0,OOO to build the
Hennepin canal, it appropriate $5 10000
to build road connecting the points
included in the canal scheme. 1t seems
to me that this late idea is the correct
one; railroad would be better than the
canal, for several reasons, among which
are: it would cost less money, could be
operated when canal would be blocked
with Ice, could do the bushes more e1-
pedltiously; and, chief of all reasons, it
would show the people, by comparison,
the necessity for the government to con-
troll all railroads. A double-track, steel
rail railway can be constructed from
some point on Lake Michlkan to the
Mississippi river, done in the best style,
for $5,OOO,OOO; and it could be made a
grand success. When the railroad lords
and their tools in congress think of this,
they will be found advocating the $50
600, 900 canal.

The Republican saws "the law of sup
ply and demand makes the price of
labor;' but who makes the law of sup
ply and demand2 The laws of England
made the colonists objects of despotic
oppression, and the laws Of the United
States made four million negroes slaves
but both these laws had to 60, and 80
will the law of supply and demand.
The fact is it is no law at all. Webster
says claw is rule of order;" and this
thing which the Republican calls the
"law" of supply and demand, is at the
root of nearly all the disorder in the
world. 1t isn'ta question of what Is,
but what should be; and this supply
and demand" barbarity must be cre-
mated.

probably fatal. .-. +
Colonel Phillips has been bitter and

WHEN will employees of railroads learn
that, Arthur, of the Locomotive Engln-
eers' organization is tool of the rail-
road kings? He has again shown his
hand, and the engineers must now say
whether they propose to be led by this
traitor to the labor cause, or to have the
respect of other workers and their sup
port when they need il. It is time for

Eight Hours.


The eight hour movement has re-
ceived large share of discussion andis
now fairly we'll understood among the
workers. They comprehend that the
national legislature, to curry fayors with
the workingmen, have declared eight
hours to be legal days work They
also knew that this would not enforce the
law som ething else being necessary to
put it into force. But these same law
makers never intended it should be put
into practical operation throughout the
country. But the workers themselves
have the power to add the enacting
clause and put the law in force.
Let our leaders survey the ground,
mature the plan g. so that no mistakes
will be made as far as is in their power
to prevent or foresee. And then call
upon US to voluntarily adopt the eight
hour system on the first day of May
next, and not wait for the employers to
take the initiative, which they are ever
ready to do when " ork is slack, or glu
in the market, without asking the work
ers' consent thereto.
Then, brothers, let US be true to our
selves and to each other, after having
made every preparation necessary to in
troduce this great boon to weary hu-
manity, and thus help our idle nd hun
CRY fellow worker to obtain that for
which they so earnestly yearn but in
vain, an opportunity TO provide for
themselves and their suffering loved
ones the necessaries of life.
Our theologians teach that we all in
herit depraved nature from some great
ancestor of the race. and that we all
need change of heart, and some carry
it so far as to say a change of nature.
The first may be true but the second is
doubtful, as the nature of the animal
never changes. His disposition may be
improved but his nature never. A change
of heart or of disposition would benefit
most of US. Our humanity does not
stand out very prominent, there is too
much selfshness in all of US. When it
is we'll with ourselves we care little for
others.
This eght-hour movement will give US
an opportunity of demonstrating that
our nature is not of'the animal or dog
kind, which refuses to divide his food
with his fellow. And it will also give
our employers an opportunity to show
that they possess the human nature
which is also divine. as they will be in
possession of five hours surplus earnings
of the workers. that they are magnani-
nous enough to continue to pay the ten
hours wages for eight hours work,
which they can we'll afford to do out of
their surplus heecings in the form of In
terest, Profit or Rent.
Let our leaders say as did the duke of
Wellington to his soldiers: England
expects every man to do his duty !" 1t
will prove true that what is for the best
interest of the worker is at the same
time in the interest of the employer.
Come, let US have eight hours for days
work everywhere. Then there will be
no need for our poor brothers to apply at
the police Office for nights lodging.
