Coins for Bangles.

A paragraph has been going the rounds of
the press to the effect that individuals or
jewellers would not be permitted to manu-
facture ladies' bangles or other ornaments
from United States coin, fad that has be-

Mr.. Rudolph Kitchener, 1.-THE manufacturing
jeweller Of this city. wrote to the United
States authorities for information on this
subject, and received the following letter:

Sir-Yonr letter of the 9th inst. has been re-

coinage 'fraudulently," and does not therefore

ture of jewelry.

the wheat harvest. The demand upon
our surplus will be larger than ever, to
supply the shortage there. Respond
ing to this demaud, wheat for future
delivery has climbed up to a higher
price than it has reached for many
years, and there is nothing in sight
that looks like decline.
A big wheat crop in this country,
and heavy expectations to Europe, will
bring millions Of dollars across the
ocean, and relief from the existing
monetary stringency will come with
the beginning of the wheat movement.
Texas, for the first time in the his
tory of the state, will have wheat to
sell. This wheat will be the first on
the market, and it will bring good
prices.

A UNIQUE ARGUMENT.

AS unique specimen OF logical ratio
cination, we print letter from Mr.. W.
r. Lamb of Bowie, proving that the
Democratic party is responsible for
cheap cotton, while high prices Of that
product are coincident with Republi-
can administrations.
The method of proof is this: In 1889
Mr.. Lamb sold cotton in Bowie for 10c.
Then the Republicans were in power.
But in 1885, 1856 and 1887, after the
election Of Cleveland, he sold cotton Of
the same grade at the same place for
II cents. Again, in 1890 and 1891,
when the Republicans were returned
to power, mis- cotton sales were made at
81 cents, but soon after the congress
sional election OF 1890, which sent a
Democratic majority to the house of
representatives, he had to let his cot
ton go for 7.65 cents. Democratic sue
cess, low cotton. Republican victory,
high cotton. After this, therefore on
account Of this.
To start correctly in the investiga-
ton of this business, we consult the re-
port of Latham, Alexander & Co. of
New York, on the prices Of cotton for
the years mentioned, and the number
OF bales raised. On the first of Sep
TENDER, which opens the cotton season,
we find that in 1888 middling upland
cotton sold for 105 cents, and the crop
for that year was 5,713,2O0 bales. In
1885 the price was 10 cents, crop 6,575,-
69l bales. The next year the quotation
fell to 81 cents, but in 1887 it rose to 10
cents, with crop Of 7,046, 1913 bales.
The ruling for 1889 was lis cents. We
thus see that, without regard to what
Mr.. Lamb may have sold his
cotton for in Bowie, the priee>ip
New York, which controls thes othSf
markets of the country, was within q
eighth of cent as high in ISL ami
1887, under Cleveland, as in 1888, tGd&
Arthur. The high price in 1889, MI
a large crop, was due to short cr
abroad. and to an unusual demand Or
cotton in the manufacturing distS -
of England.
But these things have nothing to do

The Moore Iron Works.

1t is universal fact conceded by all en-
terpriSing and progressive citizens that the
life and hopes of the future of our city are
her manufacturing industries, yet in their
infancy. During the past year Fort Worth
has made rapid strides in coming to the
front as a manufacturing center. The
great packing house, rolling mills, cement
mills, wagon factory, cotton mills and
brewery all attest our growth in the indus
trial line.
Prominent among all stands the Moore
iron works company, located at Brooklyn
Heights, just west of the city limits. This
plant was originally known as the Fort
Worth stove foundry; less than six months
ago it passed into the hands of the Moore
Abilene as president and ]. F. Moore as
general manager. From that date
through the untiring energy of
Messrs. White and Moore, aided
by their secretary, w. z. Manchester, the
success of the company has been phenome-
nal. Mr.. Whites interests in other por-
tons of the state being such that he could
not devote his entire time to the plant dur
ing the past week resigned as president,
and at a meeting of the directory on Friday
a reorganization was effected by elect
ing Mr.. R. N. Hatcher as president,
and Mr.. George r. Bowman as secretary
Mr. Hatcher as president will bring to this
company ripe experience OF many years
as successful and practical business man
in Fort Worth. Mr.. Bowman is recently
from Las Cruces, N. M, and brings to the
company many years experience in his line
of duties Mr.. Thomas A Tidball, the well
known banker, will zealously guard the in
terests of this company as treasurer.
Extensive alterations and additions have
been made, and several thousand dollars
expended in the latest and best improved
machinery. The company has now a large
number of orders on hand, and can employ
from 100 to 200 men, and can manufacture
anything in the mechanical line from a
gimlet to locomotive. With MIR.
j. F. Moore and NJ. R Kiley, well
known as having no superiors in
the mechanical line, together with the i'm
proved facilities, for labor, this company
can but have unexampled prosperity in the
future, and bids fair not only to be one of
Fort Worth's greatest industries, but will
have no rival in the state of Texas. The
force of men at work is to be doubled at
once. An addition of S25, 600 cash has been
made to the capital stock. A brick build
ing 40x60 feet is one OF the new additions.
Work on ten residences for employees begins
at once
The Fort Worth gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-189?, 1891-05-07

The new cooling house at the packery is
now above the second story. 1t is expected
to have the building completed by June l.
The brewery is working night and day
and expects to have beer on the market by
May 16.
1t was said yesterday that VIII. Chick of
Kansas City, the father of Mrs. Joseph II.
Brown, who owns the famous grocery
building on lower Main street, is in the city
at this time to make arrangements to have
large grocery house occupy it. The ne
gotiations have not been concluded yet.
A movement is on foot to secure q large
wholesale clothing house for Fort Worth.
Work on the lake and park IN North
Fort Worth is now well under way. In a
few weeks the lake will be done and the
park will be thrown open to the public
during the early days of summer.
Two merchants from Denver have leased
a store on Main street in which to conduct
q fancy grocery business.
The determination to have park seems
to be general, and from expressions from
aldermen, the majority of the council favor
getting park Us soon as possible. Several
aldermen say it is possible to get park at
once.
The Moore iron works are to be enlarged.
Outside capital joins home capital in this
enterprise.

Two well known real estate operators

Two well known real estate operators
who are in constant communication with
the East, said yesterday that the one thing
needed to cause activity in real estate was
the assurance of good crops, and both said
that thirty days would determine what
the crop would be. At present there is
every reason to believe that the splendid
crops now growing will be harvested.
There is not sign of anything to cut the
crop of wheat, oats and other small grain
short. In addition to this fat cattle will be
on the market in June. There are the best
OF grounds to believe that millions of dol
lars will find their way into circulation in
the next few months to move the crops in
Texas. In addition to the immediate
benefit from fine crops is the immigra-
ton bountiful harvests will cause.
One gentleman estimates that for the next
three years the influx Of people will be at
the rate of 100000 per year, and
most of this immigration will go west
of Fort Worth. There will be
good demand for farms of 100
and 500 acres, and a consequent
demand for city property. Building opera
tons are already active in Fort Worth
and large number of buildings will be
under way in the next ninety days
Our factories are all doing well and
several of those just started will
in Il irty days, be adding to our prosperity.
Altogether the outlook is decidedly good,
and this is apparent to the man who does
not take an optimistic view of things, but is
deemed ultra conservative.

College Plans Adopted.

Yesterday afternoon Rev. W. L. Nelms,
W. j. Boaz, Thorp Andrews and W. p.
Wilson of the building committee
of the Methodist polytechnic institute
met at the office of Mr. Andrews
and after carefully considering several
plans submitted, adopted those OF ]. ].
Kane. The building will be three-story
brick with stone foundations sixty-nine and
one-half feet front and sixty-two feet deep.
1t will cost between $4,000 and Sl2,-
900. Rev. Mr. helms said they
would break dirt at once and begin on the
building just as soon as bids were received,
which would be in a few days, when the
contract will be let. This building is one
of several to be erected. The main
building to occupy the center OF the beauti-
full campus will cost $50 600 Or over.

with the ascendancy of the Democrats

with the ascendancy Of the Democrats
or the Republicans. We quote the
prices to show that Mr.. Lamb was as
incorrect in his premises as faulty in
his conclusions. The only way cotton
prices could be affected by legislation
is by the imposition or the repeal Of
tariff duties. AS there is not, and has
not been for seventy-five years, any
sort of tariff on cotton, it is plain that
an argument is very weak that seeks
to connect the fuctuation in the price
of that staple with the triumph or de-
feat of political party.
The truth is that Mr.. Lamb and his
fellow-workers are fighting the Demo-
cratic party here in Texas because
there is no other party for them to
fight, and they are bound to have some
thing to let loose the energy of their
wrath upon. 1t is hard fighting, to be
sure, when the weapons are no more to
be trusted than such as they have on
hand, but if it gives them entertain
ment, we are willing to crafty them
that far, as it doesn't hurt anything.
THE GAZETTE directs the attention
OF Mr.. Lambs followers to the style OF
argument by which they are to be con-
WINGED, and it is as little complimentary
to their good sense as it is to Mr..
Lambs honesty of opposition to Dem
ocracY in Texas.
