enehcent climate that spreads over much
of your vast territory, the great variety of
productions which your soil and climate
render possible, give a promise for the
future OF prominence among the great
States, that means we can scarcely fail
to bring Texas to the front rank. The
advantage which you have to traDsmute
the great productions of the field
into the manufactures of products is
very great. There can certainly be no
reason why very large part of the million
bales of cotton which you produce should
not be spun in Texas. l hope your people
will mole and more turn their thoughts to
this matter, for just in proportion as a COM
munity or State suitably divides its energies
among the various industries, so does it re-
tain the wealth it produces ami increase

earth, is our system OF Government. l am
