Editor LIGHT
I inclose you some timely COM
ments on the admission of silver ores
from Mexico. l would be pleased to
have every newspaper in Texas that
is in favor of building up Mexican
trade copy these comments together
with any additional information that
can be given on the subject. l would
also be pleased to have personal cor
respondence with pronounced whole
sale merchants and manufacturers
who are in favor of convention to be
held in this interest and who will at
tend the same Very Resp'y,
A. w. CLIFFORD.
THE MEXICAN ORE QUESTION.
The following letter sent out on
August lst, by Mr.. A. w. Clifford Of
43l Olive street, st. Louis, Mo-, has
brought some very interesting replies
on the position of Mexican silver lead
ores toward building up our trade
with Mexico, which we give below as
a subject worthy of more than passing
attention.
st LOUIS, No. August lst, 1889.
Dear Sir: You may have observed
by the press that Colorado and Mis-
souri, lead interests are advocating the
holding of a meeting of mining men
in the near future, in this city, for the
purpose OF bringing strong combined
influence to bear against the admis-
sion of ores from Mexico. This is a
more serious matter than one might
suppose from only a casual observa-
ton, and particularly so to the rail
ways, manufacturers and wholesale
merchants interested in the traffic to
and from the great republic of Mex
leo. If you will take the trouble to
investigate you will find the subject
worthy of immediate and active steps
toward building up trade with our
sister republic instead of tearing it
down. \ wise move would be meet
ing of manufacturers, wholesale mer-
chants, railways, and miners inter
ested in the development of Mexican
trade, to be held in st. Louis some
time in August or September whereby
reliable information and unprejudiced
opinions can be secured on this i'm
portant subject. If the millions of
dollars already invested and most GER
tainly in terested sets idly by and al.
lows an imaginary evil from few
mining men in Colorado to strike a
death blow to this trade they can
blame no one but themselves.
would be pleased to have your views
on the subject.
Very respectfully,
A. w. CLIFFORD"
