MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES
When in 1872 Fort Worth resolved
to enter the race for supremacy with the
cities of Texas, the prospect was about
IS gloomy as any that ever confronted
any ambitious town. All about us were
rivals far in advance and laughing to
scorn theEsspirstion Of "whistlIng sta
ton" to be anything more than feeder
to cities well on the way t. municipal
greatness.
Fort Worth knew Ethat before the era
of railroads sl large towns and cities, all
trading and manufacturing centres,
were built up on wster
courses, and that since the
railroad began to take the plsce of the
river, It was the railroad that made and
unmade towns. Fort Worth knew that
distributing facilities were absolutely es-
sential to the building Of large city, and
to the work of providing itself with rail-
roads applied itself with result known
to every resdir ysmsn in Texss-Fort
Worth is aoao the great railroad centre Of
the state. AMI this proud pre-eminence
has been won in six yesrs.

THE WOOL TARIFF.
a high TArin Does Not Make High Price
ZEE FARMERs AID THE WOOL TARIFF.

THE FARMERS AND THE WOOL TARIFF,
It is mistake to suppose that the
farmers as class are in favor OF keeping
up the duty on wool and woolens. That
stsuncn agricultural newspaper, the
Minneapolis Farm, Stock and Home, in
late issue said:
From 1876 to 1883 we hsd the highest
tariff Oh wool in our history. at the
last-named date the duty WAS reduced 10
per cent. ad valorem. The average price
OF imported woods. since the 10 per cent,
reduction has been from II to Is cents
pound, so the reduction Of duty since the
excessive one OF war times has been from
IA TO is cents pound. In the mean
time wool has been steadily declining,
though the rspldity of the decline has
been less since the 10 per cent. reduction
than it WAS from 1875 to 1888. Pascti-
cslly the past ten years has been
period OF the highest wool tariff We
ever enjoyed (?) therefore il
msy be little interesting to learn how
much this high tariff benefited wool
growers in the way of prices. For pur-
poses o. comparison we have taken the
July prices OF medium wool in New York
from 1928 to 1887, and made averages of
prices for each ten years of the time
During this time we have had sll Sorts OF
tariffs and practically no tariff, but prices
fuctuated as wool was IN good or poor
supply or demand, but always In $3.50

any of the seriously disputed points and

the Hcnncpin canal and the survey Of
the Drsplaiurs canal AS continuation of
the Illinois river improvements. Sena-
tor FRYE is opposed to providing for any
canals in the river haTbOr bill. senators
DoIph and Ransom are supporters of
both propositions, but of course the Hen
