al the Instance OF Mr.. John Owens, who
made his acquaintance en- route from
Houston, proposes to return 10 short
time and look the ground over more
carefully with view to establishing a
cotton aud wooden hosiery mandatory
In this city. This gen lenan is a practi-
cal manufacturer end has $4,000 capital
to invest In such manufacture. This fact
Is thrown out for the benefit Of our
manufacturers aid committee, who
should make more definite enquiri's
concerning this gentleman and place
themselves in position 10 talk business
to him when he returns from his Cali

price OF San Antonio prosperity, and
every opportunity should be heartily
and eagerly embraced that has In IL any
promise OF manufacturing returns for
this city. On the establishment OF such
industries our future prosperity de-
ponds more than upon any other one
thing.

A MUGWUMP'S VIEW.

Mr.. Henry Z. Bowen, formerly and for
some years editor ofthe Brooklyn Union.

Mr.. Bowen Is the son OF the veteran edi-

states during which he made 1t bis

democratic party under the leader

unfortunately discarded. Mr.. Bowen
considers the situation radically chang

DESTROYS OF a change OF political leader

such changes would relieve the country
Of the accumulation OF surplus and so
save the business OF the nation from the
terrible drain of $4,000 a day alleged to
have been made upon its resources and
business capital BY the policy which
dominated the republican cabinet. This
situation remains unchanged. The
promises OF the democratic party are
uDkept. The reforms in the civil ser
vice have not only not been made as
promised but the whole service has
degenerated, competent men being dis
placed by incompetents. This utter
failure Of the democratic administration

ever any line of business, and es-
pecially manufactures, becomes SO
profitable as to attract attention, hun
dreds of new men and millions of
new capital embark in it, and the
result is a competition that quickly
reduces prices to a normal basis.
There is only one way in which
values can be maintained at an arti-
fetal or exorbitant figure, and that
is by the combining of producers
into "pools', or "trusts." AS two
of the largest and most avaricious
of these "trusts" control the pro-
duction of articles on which there
is absolutely no duly-hard coal
and gas--it can not be claimed that
a protective tariff is responsible for
their existence.
