San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1888-02-09

Of the organization is not to make
money, but 10 control trade; that
Is not to make money by the
profits arising from wsrehOuslng, but to
largely surrender the profits Of ware
housing 10 order to cohtrol trade and
center 1t here, trusting TO the Increase
Of trade for the profits TO be made out OF
enlarged business transactions.
AS the LIGHT understands the matter
as 1t will be presented at the private
conference today, 1t is the intention, II
the requisite number OF stockholders can
be secured, to erect at some point so
centrally located as TO railway lines as
to avoid all teamIng, large warehouses
for the storage Of cotton and wool and
also cotton compress. The warehouse
company will endeavor to secure from
the several railway lines reaching this
city such concessions as will enable
tn IN to give the wool and cotton grow
ers Of south and west and southwest
Texas the full benefits OF such prices for
their products as can only be secured by
the direct competition OF large
number OF buyers in open market;
and, this with very little Increase
OF cost to the wool grower over
the Offering Of his product at his
own ranch or farm. Through freight
rates are to be established from the
original point OF shipment to the final
market via San Antonio. This wool or
cotton consigned to San Antonio for the
competitions OF buyers and reshipmeni,
will be forwarded to Its destination I'M
der the original bills OF lading, and thus
the cost OF Offering 1t in this market will
be reduced to minimum. The wool
shipped from Laredo, or Eagle Pass, or
anywhere else, would pay its regular
freightage to this city, and sold here,
would be reshipped under the old bills
OF lading to its eastern market, paying
from this point the through charges less
cost OF original shipment to San Anto-
MO. Should the grower desire TO hold
his wool or ship himself, his warehouse
receipts would be such security as the
banks would willingly make him ad-
yanoes upon at sixty or thirty days, at
rates considerably below the ordinary
interest charges.
This Is the mere outline Of the scheme
proposed by one OF the most conserya-
tive and reliable business men in the
city. II he can secure the cooperation
OF other business men likeminded with
himself, the company will be formed.
The railroads will then be interviewed
and their cooperation solicited. The
working out OF the entire programme
following In order as the occasion and
necessity present themselves, and capital
can be Induced to embark in 1t.
The whole plan is business from first
to last Its success will settle the ques
ton OF Texas wool market forever, and
perhaps unsettle some other things
which the rivals of San Antonio now
herself in this thing she will help her
self to many other things which will in
nure to her benefit and place her head |
and shoulders above all competitors for
the commerce OF southw west Texas
IN CritIcising the ColoTed people Of |
Louisiana for not sending full cOlored |
delegation to represent them because
the state convention had majority of |
colored votes in il, the democracy are as
usual painfully obliyious Of the fact,
that the intelligent oolored people Of the
south look for those who will represent
their interests as citizens and not as
oOlored men, when they assemble in con-
vention. IL the democracy could learn
this truth, 1t would save them from
many blunder. The colored people
are not one-hslf so anxious to represent
as they are to be represented. No one
hears them complain because colored
people do not hold office, or do not rep
resent their colored constituencies. The
complaint is that the cOlored people are
not represented, their interests are not
cared for In the chambers of legislation.
The politIcalprivileges guaranteed them
under the constitutional amendments
are denied them at the hand of demo-
cratic majOritles, created by the sup
preston of the cOlOred vote. 1t is OF
these things that complaint is made, and
righteously.
