CREDIT HOUSES FOR AUSTIN.


The communication this morning on
the poor encouragement Austin offers
as a cotton market is written by one
of the very best farmers in Travis
county. 1t tells but too truly the
condition of affairs. He offers as a So
luton of the difficulty, "Organize and
buy cotton" But this general advice
will not accomplish the remedy. How
shall we organize? The answer, we
think, can be found in plan that has
been quietly talked over in Austin the
past few days. The time is past
when our merchants generally can
hope for country trade as in the happy
days gone by. Too many stores have
sprung up in small towns around us;
stores nearer the farmer than Austin,
and stores whose trade is almost eX-
clusively confined to the line of credit
they carry with the farmers. Now
while this condition Of affairs contin-
ues land will always grow worse for
AUSTIN, it is out of the question for
all of our merchants who do a retail
trade with Austin customers to do
iobbing trade with these farmers.
But can not the difficulty be bridged,
the farmers trade be won back to
Austin in this way? Establish credit
e,fn Ia, "a; no,litol In
secure the very best and most COM
plete line Of goods in all departments
of the farmers needs, and make the
inducements to them to come to Aus
tin to trade so strong they can not re-
sist. If such limo of business pays in
small towns it will pay much better
here when conducted on large scale.
The business in itself will pay, and it
will pay Austin ten-fold. Stores
of 100000 or 100000 capital
would of course be the thing !
but if these are impracticable then
start with $4,000 or $4,000. Every
inducement is now present with the
farmer to come to Austin rather than
go to Il small town, even though |
nearer to him than Austin, except the
price paid for his cotton. Start such
stores as indicated, and Austin can
outbid on cotton any point within
fifty miles Of her, and with a superior
and cheaper and more varied line of
goods to offer in trade she will at
tract not only all the cotton Of Travis
county, but that across the line of adj
joining counties. There is big money
in it for the men who undertake the
business, and there will be big money
for Austin. Can we not organize such
credit stores at once?

The Wichita, Kan, Eagle says:
"Parnell was buried without the aid
of extra police. In Boulanger's case
the militia had to be called out. The
Irish people are fully as mercurial as
the French, but they have a respect,
almost an awe, of the dead that the
French have not" The Eagle has
evidently never attended wake; nor
has it given any attention to the diff
ferent political relations these two
men bore the people.

plause.
The proposition to give gold and
silver equal coinage privilege is
treated by some as if it meant revolu-
ton in finance, but 1t truly means
Il simple return to the practices OF
other days. Let those who talk OF
honest money remember that the
same number of grains which were
put into silver dollar before the
coinage act was tempered with is the
number of grains proposed now to be
used in unlimited coinage. Let those
who see the danger of unbalancing
our foreign commerce and who mag
Nifty the dependence of American
trade upon the financial systems OF
Europe remember that we grew and
prospered and sent our commerce into
every sea in competition with England

THE GOLD STANDARD.

let those who tremble at the pros
pect OF gold money leaving our shores
and silver taking it's place, remember
that this identical consequence was
predicted when the Bland Act was
passed, and has been discredited by a
subsequent increase Of American gold
coinage, which has more than kept
pace with the silver.
The truth is England has set the
fashion in this hue and cry and
against unlimited silver coinage, as
she does in many things of less i'm
portance. That country turned to eX-
elusive gold standard over 20 years
ago. She is the great creditor nation
of both hemispheres. She believes in
a gold standard because all the world
owes her and she wants money made
scarce and valuable. The next Dem

Seed sowing Is an art that practice
and experience alone can bring TO per
lection, but timely hints will some
times prevent the beginner from max
ing serious blunders. The difference
IN soil and climate and the time of year
have, also, to be taken into consilera-
ton, as we'll as the seed itself. Com
mon sense Will teach us that the tiny
seeds of poppy and portulaca will need
but light cover and that peas and
nasturtlum must have a deeper plant
ing.
Except IN very damp ground the
soil should be well pressed down, or
'hrmed," as the gardeners term it;
while IN damp, heavy earth a light
cover Is best, as the moisture is suffi-
clent to sprout them and "A heavy soil
pressed firmly upon the seeds will chill
them and cause them to decay in nine
cases out of ten. For the same reason,
seeds sown IN early Spring rhould be
more lightly covered than those sown
In June when the earth has become dry
and warm, and seeds viii burn in the
hot Summer sun. The deeper the soil
the tirmer should be tie covering.
Never has there been such a wealth
of floral treasures from which to
choose, and never have they been of
fered SO cheaply as now. Europe Is
sending us the novelties grown by
years of patient work. Africa con-
tributes the giant OF the flower family:
ASIA Is profuse in her fragrant offer
lngs, and our sister continent is not be-
hind in her lavish gifts, while from the
islands of the sea come orchids of rarest
form and exquisite colors gathered mt
peril OF hfe AID health IN their death
breathing forests
But IN sowing the seed, or the plant,
or the bulb, it should always be re-
membered that few, weIl-grown
healthy plants showing their owners
love and watchful care is better than
the scraggly growth of many whose
owner, in the rage for novelties. has
planted more than can be wel-cared
for. and whose needs are neglected.
