Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-09-26

crop will be gathered this fall, though
in some favored sections, as for in.
stance, in the eastern portion on III,
Brazos river, the crop will almost equa
that of last season. Stock are doing es.
peoially well in Bosque county.
| eve have perhaps more than 150,-
GOO head of sheep, great many OF
which will rank with any in the state a.
to grade, and quality of wool produced
What we need is wool securing mill
This would prove an immense saving in
| freight as long as the raw material /:
| shipped to Northern and Eastern fac
| tories.
81 hope to see the day when Texas
will be able to manufacture, not only all
her cotton and wool, but all the raw ma
terial such as iron, etc. with which she
is so abuudantly supplied.
''I think the convention of manufac-
| turers and people interested in encour-
aging same in our own state is grand
| move in the right direction.
my motto is, give us home manufac-
lures and home consumption. No other
state can offer inducements equal to
ours. No other state has so many nat
ural advantages.
'What Georgia has done in this line
al am IN favor of doing what we can
to develop our natural resources instead
of waiting for Northern and Eastern
capitalists TO do it for us. But under
stand, am highly in favor of Offering
every encouragement AMI all reasonable
inducements TO the North and East to
come among US aud cooperate with US
in the accomplishment of this end.
81 am gratified to note the good feel
ing which exists in this convention. l
see men here representing the different
political parties, yet to a man they seem
to have completely lost sight of party
issues, and are all working together har-
moniously for the general good of their
state.
Fort Worth deserves great credit for
the active part she has taken IN this
move. | think all the delegates Will go
away from here more than ever i'm
pressed with the magnitude of her bust
ness enterprises, the politeness of her
citizens and the liberal views or her
solid business men.
1.-THE GAZETTE is certainly due much
praise from the Texas people for the &C.
tive part it has taken to advance the
interests of Texas.
''Your Board of Trade impresses me
very favorably indeed, especially Secre-
tary Biden, who has been untiring in his
efforts to make this meeting a success
''As to the plan of action necessary to
be taken in our meeting Tomorrow |
think that state executive committee
composed of one member from each
senatorial district should be appointed,
with chairman and secretary, with
headquarters in this city. The purpose
and duties of this committee should be to
take whatever action from time to time |
as would best advance the commercial |
and manufacturing interests of Texas |
without favorlng any particular section. |
81 believe that a majority of the peo-
pie of my section coincide with me in my |
views with regard to the great need of |
giving encouragement to home manufao-
tories. l believe this to be the solution !
to the great problem. This Will do more
than anything else to advance the inter-
ests of the producer.
"Of the inducements which my own
county can offer l will mention one.
The town of Morgan, with her advantage
eous location and surroun dings, with her
two railroads, her artesian water supply,
and euterprising citizens, no more suit
able place could be found for wool
securing mill or cotton factory.
'Of course there are other good loca-
tons in the county, but this place seems
eminently fitted for those industries
''If anyone here wishes to invest
capital in a sheep ranch or fine stock
farm, can heartily recommend to him
the country lying around Merrivale, IN
the southeastern part of the county.
