A CALL
For a Convention OF Texans Interested in
Developing the Manufacturing and Mer-
camille interests of the State.

Fort WORTH CHAMBER OF CoMMRRcE)
SECRETARY's OFFICE.
FoRr WORTH, TEX, Aug. q, 1880.
A convention of delegates from trade
and manufacturing organizations, munio-
qualities and people interested in devel-
oping the manufacturing and mercantile
interests of Texas has been called to
meet in Fort Worth on September "a,
1890, for the purpose of devising ways
and means to induce capital to seek our
state and accomplish this object.
The advantage to accrue to the people
of Texas by having our raw material,
found in endless quantity in this state,
manufactured into merchantsbls COM
modities must be patent to every mind
that has given the subject careful con-
sideration. Manufacturers are disposed
to come to our state, capitalists are ia
vorably disposed, but there has been no
united action to place before them the
facts about our resources and the vast
field open to them and wholesale mer-
chants. This convention Is called to
meet the demand made upon the state.
1t is proposed to have Eastern and
Northern manufacturers and capitalists
present at our deliberations. Governor
Ross has expressed a willingness to CO.
operate in the matter.
To this end you are cordially invited
and requested to send one or more dele
gates from your organization, munich
pality or county to this convention.
Efforts will be made to arrange with the
railway companies for reduced rates TO
delegates and others who attend. AS
the time is short we respectfully urge
immediate action and request that you
send TO the secretary of the Fort Worth
chamber of commerce the names of
those selected to represent you IN the
convention.

A BRICK TIE-UP.
Over Six Hundred Buildings in New York City
to be Left to the Mercy Of the Weather
On Account of Boycott.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The threatened
tie-up of the Brick manufacturers asso-
citation is at last officially announced,
and no more brick will be shipped to the
city by members of this association, who
comprise So per cent. of manufacturers
supplying this market, until the boycott
against the Verplanok manufacturers il
lifted By walking delegates. A few of
the manufacturers will carry out their
unable to cancel, but with this impor-
tant exception no brick will be delivered
in this city while the tie-up lasts. Manu-
facturers stopped loading brick at 6
9. m, Thursday, and the last af these
barges will have arrived here by Mon
day, and after that day the effect Of the
action of the manufacturers
win be very seriously felt
in every department of building.
BY Tuesday if the manufacturers agrees
ment Ii carried out the brick market
will be 4 1000, 200 short, and This def
ciency will increase every dvy. The re-
suit will be cessation of work on nearly
every uIroefed building now in process
OF construction In this city, which will
have the effect of throwing out of work
60, 900 men of all trades, and will
occasion loss of over 500 900 day to
workingmea. Manufacturers are de-
termined, and the struggle will be one
of endurance. Walking delegates an
nounoe their intention Of not only con-
tinuing tbs boycott against the verplanck
paint firm, but of extending il
to every member of the brick
makers' association who joins IN the tie
up. and If they adhere to this reso-
luton the loss to all branches of build
ing industries will be enormous. It was
predicted that this action of the manu-
facturers would result In sudden rise in
the price of brick, but an increase of
only twenty-five cents per 1000 has been
obtained SO far. According to the
Ruiid:nR Record and Guide there are
fully 600 buildings In this city under
construction and actually in need OF
brick, and unless the boycott Is de-
eiared OF before the present supply of
brick Is exhausted buildings will be left
10 the mercy Of the weather.

THE farmer AT HOME AND IN
POLITICS.

There is no class of men who are or
ought to be, more conservative in view
ing political questions, than the farmer.
The calm and somewhat secluded life
which he leads, conduces to reflection
and thoughtfulness. The nature of his
occupation begets and fosters DISPOSE
zion to look ahead of him, to
calculate and weigh. What to
plant or sow, and when and how, are
problems that are ever present, and
not entirely clear. Many more of as
perplexing character come to call
for the exercise of his best Judgment
and discrimination. No important
change in the manner of his farming IS
ever made without long and anxious
consideration. His best thought is given
to it, and the matter is viewed from
many sides, and perhaps the advice or
experience of others are sought to aid
him in coming to correct decision. No
Sensible farmer makes abrupt and in
considerable changes in his plan of
cropping. When he has hit upon a
plan that brings good results, it will re-
quire great deal of proof to convince
him that radical change will be all the
better. Every exemplary farmer 10
thoughtful, calculating and conservative.
He is SO by force of circumstances, and
the nature Of his calling. Hence it fol-
lows that the farming communities of
a country are regarded politically, as
we'll as industrially, as the balapoe-
wheels or regulative factors in the econ
omy of aEairs civil and political. The

FENCE CUTTING CONTROVERSY.
Mr.. E. E Radiord of Abilene Replies to The
Gazstte's Baird Correspondent

r
Gazstte's Baird Correspondent
ABILENE, Tx, Aug. %, 1880.
Editor Gazette.
l notice in THE GAZETTE of yesterday
that Mr.. Dorsey (your Baird correspon-
denD has again forced me to ''ths
meetin - as he is wont to term his re-
cent controversy in regard to the recent
fence cutting in the counties of Callahan,
Coleman and Taylor.
First, we have q short explanation to
offer in regard to the sworn statement Of
Mr.. Oscar Jones, about which there
seems to be huge Misunderstanding all
around.
When your correspondent here sent In
his last letter of the 10th inst. he failed
in part to specify what Jones' pasture
was alluded to in his communication at
the time, and simply put in these words,
"the Jones and Kelly pastures; and
through a typographical error was
made to say the Jones s. Kelly pastures
instead.
Now Sheriff Jones Is the man that was
alluded to IN my correspondence, and it
was generally understood here that his
surveyor still says that If his pasture was
also cut that it was in Callahan county
as well as the Kelly ranch house, as has
been stated In my previous correspond
ence. Dorsey also takes within his large
scope of Imagination all of the cutting
instead of the first three pastures cut,
which brought about this correspond
ence, and to show that we are willing to
shoulder our part of the disgrace, If such
it IS, that every foot of the last pasture
cut was in Taylor county, but our eiti-
zens do not consider it any disgrace OF
our county when lot OF Callahsn's law
less citizens come within her borders and
destroy her property, as is the case in
this instance.
Dorsey, is not the county of Callahan
in the far famous Abilene oountry2
Have you not received just benefit By
placing your products, together with the
rest of the counties that compose the
Abilene country, for exhibit
In regard to my report on the Mission
grapes raised in Callahan county by
Capt. Maltby last year to THE GAZETTE
in my specials during the fair, would
like TO say that while / know Capt.
Maltby's grapes to be very fine, that l
never sent in the article, but it was sent
by Mr.. Bailey, the former Dallas CORE
spondent of THE GAZETTE, who was sent
out here to assist in reporting the far
during the opening day.
In closing this article, and 1 hope the
closing of the controversy, L wish to
thank Mr.. Dorsey for his kind invitation
to their fair next month, although Mr..
Radford in case OF acceptance will GER
tsinly not attend with his family, for as
yet he is a single man and cannot accept
the family invitation.

! inertia OF agriculture is opposed to vio-
lent and abrupt changes IN political or
governmental affairs. OF no class OF
citizens can it be said more truthfully
than of the farmer that "he is best
governed who is least governed.
And yet, truthful as all this may be ,
there are times when the farmer aroused
by continuation of adverse legislation
and unfair discrimination that handiosps
and worries him, sets about correcting
the evil in manner wholly different
from his customary calm and reflective
methods. Every farmer in America has
been plundered and robbed outrage
ously for more than generation by the
Ubiquitous financial and tariff legislation
enacted by the party Of patriotism,
trusts, syndicates and combines. All at
once a nostrum is invented by some
political doctrinaire and is intro
duced in congress by a fellow called
panacea for every wrong and
salve for every wound. Instantly,
and without moments thought,
as it seems, the national Alliance con-
yention at st. Louis took up and adopted
the new born financial bantling, and the
sub-treasury scheme of the govern
ment's lending money to farmers at a
nominal rate of interest, became an ar
ticle of political faith among farmers all
over the West and South. No one, it
seems, or but few of them, reflected that
the government has no money to lend;
that it is not and cannot play the part Of
mortgage and investment company, that
it has no money of its own to do with it
as it pleases, or as the interest of class
may prompt. If the farmers spent 1.-THE
of the thought and reflection on this fool
sub-treasury scheme-whioh is in every
way imaginable contrary to common
sense and the genius of sound Democracy
and good government-that they spend
in deciding whether to plant field to
cotton or corn, they would put 1t aside,
as Quay did the force bill, or as the
Savior of mankind did his satanic
majesty. Why they should do SO is as
plain as the way to the parish church If
they would look into it. We are pleased
to note that the Texas farmer is looking
into it, and now hesitates to accept IL
without more time to think. 1t is good
omen that should have great weight in
persuadlng other state Alliances to stop
in their hssty career and think bit.
Let them look before they jump.

SOME SIGNIFICANT FIGUREs.

The railways in the United States Of
which there were, June 80, 1889, 157 1853
miles, employ 704, 743 men, or 459 men
to every 100 miles. The railways in
Great Britain, numbering a total Of
19 1920 miles, employ 346 1852 men, Or
1748 to every 100 miles. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that the English railways en-
pIoy nearly four times as many men to
the mile as do the railways in this coun-
try. Longer distances, perhaps, may
partly account for such a wide differ
ence in the expense of operating roads
In this country, but only partly, for we
find that the record of accidents and
casualties on American railways are
frightful, compared with those occurring
on British railways. According to the
statistician of the interstate commits
sion, from whose report the above facts
are Cleaned, the number of deaths oc-
curing from accidents on Amer
lean railways is one for every
357 employees, while in England IL
is one for every $40. In this country the
number injured is one for every thirty
five railway employees, and on English
railways one for every 155. English
railways employ nearly four times as
many men to the mile as our own roads,
and yet less than half the number of
casualties occur. The reader can draw
his own conclusions from these facts.
