assume that he sought TO paliia,e the
guilt OF his client by making it appear
that all men are given 10 the same

DEEP WATER THE r1Rs- REQUISITE.

Our trade convention can do nothing
more important to further its main pur-
pose than to memorialize congress to
push the early compl ton of our new
harbors on the gulf. If the object is to
be worth the time and money expended,
there is no time to lose. If we are pay
ing excessive freight charges, by reason
OF one thousand miles extra rail shipment,
we have paid them long enough. If we
are to have relief by the Improvement of
our natural harbors. it cannot be dene
any too soon. Ample appropriations
have already been made by the govern
ment foD the work at some points, but
there seems to be unnecessary delay In
prosecuting it to finish. If the per
diem of overseers or superinten-
dents is, In any way, res
ponsible for this it should be
known to congress and all parties in in
terest. If the work is retarded by east
ern railway interests the west and the
south should unite in vigorous and ag-
gressive effort to put them down. What
is ours by Inheritance is not to be taken
from us by any combination or influence,
however great. These natural outlets
are as much a part of our wealth ana
resources as our new, rich soil or gener-
Gus sunlight. They afford us the same
facilities for handling goods for export
that New York harbor provides fer the
eastern and middle states.
1t would be an insane freak for the
farmer or the merchant of Pennsylvania
or Vermont to consign his goods to
Mobile, New Orleans or Galveston for
export. Yet that is the very thing
which our trans-missouri states are
doing every day. The ruinous rates on
the long overland haul often determine
whether certain crops will pay, or GER
tain much needed enterprises can be
made self sustaining or not. This con-
dition is abnormal and will not last We
know our rights and will stand for
them.
That the change will result in build
ing two or three great cities on the gulf
coast, is no loss to the west. This will
represent, in part, the great benefit to
the south in forwarding the movement,
and the west will simply regard it as one
of the fruits of the reciprocity of effort
between the two sections. The Chicago
papers have already sounded the alarm.
That great western octopus spreads her
tentacles over a vast territory which is
in no wise tributary to her. Her agents
and spies will be an active force in the
coming convention, but delegates will do
well to treat the Establishments and
overtures of all eastern interests as
simply an effort to gain time, or defeat
the objects of the convention. 1t may
be a long pull, but strong pull and a
pull all together will bring us conven-
lent harbors, lower freights and better
prices and greater profits.
