A MONUMENT TO THE CONFED-
ERATE DEAD.

Thirty years have passed since the ter
mination of the sectional war between
the states of this republic and there is
no monument erected at the capital of
the state of Texas to commemorate the
gallant deeds of our dead or show the
gratitude of the people of the state
to the men who sprung to arms to de-
fend the homes and the frcsides of this
state.
The Confederate dead lie scattered
over many fields, their bones are bleach
ing in the thick jungle of the wilder
ness" by the lonely stream their hasty
graves were dug and the only requiem
is the sad music of the pines as the
winds sweep above them and the green
grass waves over them. No monument
marks their resting place, but like Their
mopylae, the only monument necessary
to preserve the memory of Leonidas and
his Spartan band, their only record is,
KILLED at Manassas" fell in glory's
circling arms from Morgans heights at
Fredericksburg, died charging with
Pickett's division at Gettysburg, lost his
life in Jackson's valley campaign, or fell
driving Banks down Red River.
That is the only memory of the Confed-
crate dead.
On every field of the contest where

preot deal of discussion. The movement
first began in Massachusetts and the
newspapers of that state at once attrio-
uted the movement Of mills from that
state TO the restraining laws placed on
manufactures by the legislature ana at
tempted to quiet the alarm by assurances
that the repeal of these restrictive laws
would bring all the cotton mills pacK
home.
The movement has extended to New
HAMPSHIRE, where no such restrictive
laws have been imposed and the sooth-
ing syrup prescribed by the Boston pa
pers failed to put to sleep the unruly
Infant industry" which we can term 1t
in Hbe South. In fact, these papers
are now acknowledging the inevitable
and are contemplating the moving of
the cotton mills from the New England
TO the Southern states just as they were
wont in the far erstwhile to contemplate
the abandonment Of the rocky farms
of the New England states by the far
mers of that section and their settlement
in the West and South.
The abandonment of these New England
farms by the sons Of the Puritans was
really as sad n thing as the story of the
Irish emigrants lament. Generations OF
ancestors had been born, lived out their
allotted lives and had been buried upon
them, and these farms were sacred spots
and with sad hearts and fearful eyes
these PEOPLE turned from the homes
where every rock and tree contained a
memory. There was sentiment in the
abandonment of these old homes and
nothing but dire necessity compelled the
New Englandcrs to seek homes in the
West and South
These people, however, are n severely
prudent and practical people and those
who were left in the bleak and barren
hills of that country engaged in manu-
facture and had only to be convinced
that the manufacture of cotton was
more profitable in the South before they
begun to look about them for localities
in the South on which to build their
mills and start their business of the
manufacture of cotton.
In the last few months this
movement has taken wide and
general scope and it is now acknowl-
edged by New England papers that the
exodus from that country will in n short
while be as complete and total as was the
exodus of farmers some time since. What
is Austin going to do to launch her bark
on this general tide and sail on to fortune!
Austin has advantages in her completed
dam that very few localities in the South
possess. Now is the time to strike. Now
is the time to spring on the topmost wave
of this tide of enterprise that leads on to
the greatest manufacturing prosperity.
Fellow citizens, let us not be laggard
in this contest for supremacy in n new
enterprise, but meet together and imme-
diatcly inauguratc measures to grasp the
opportunities that so temptingly seem to
play into our purpose and enterprise in
building the dam. Who will take the lead
in this necessary effort to utilize our great
water power and introduce its advantages
to the New Englandcrs who are seeking
locations for their cotton mills?
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-01-31

every blade of grass grows greener
watered by the blood Of the gallant sons
of the South, the government of the
United States has erected monuments
to the memory of the Federal dead. The
marble shafts point heavenward and as
the sun rises over every field of battle
its light Eliminates the names of the
Northern dead, glorifies their
deeds and perpetuates their mem
DRY. Not only that, but the
remnants of the Northern army, the
wounded, the aged and the broken are
provided for by the generosity of the
nation. We of the South, in common
with the North, pay larger tax to sup
ply this pension than we do for all other
revenues of the government. Nor do we
bcgrudge it,
But shall we let the glorious deeds
of the men in whose beings flowed the
best blood of the South be forgotten? Shall
we permit those who are coming after us
to believe that we were ashamed of the
part we took i'll the eventful period
from 1861 to 1865? Never, never, never.
it and we point with glowing pride to
an hundred fields where the Southern ar
mics displayed Il gallantry and heroism
not cxcelled in all the annals Of war We
point with cxulting pride to battle fields
where with inferior forces, inferior arms
and inferior equipments of war the most
magnificent armies that were ever mus
tered upon field of battle were com
PEELED to halt and finally yield to the
invinciblc charge of the ragged Confcder-
ates and in several instances where these
armies Of superior numbers, splendid
organization and perfect drill were put
to flight in most ignominious rout
Not that these Northern armies were
less brave than European armies, for we
believe no European armies could have
stood before the Northern armies of the
United States, nor that they did not
also exhibit splendid courage, but that
there never were such armies as those
led by Lee, Johnston and Magruder. The
men Of these latter armies were born sol
diers and they were fighting for their
homes and the firesides of their wives
and children, and they fought as never
armies fought before and perhaps as
never armies will fight again. This is not
hyperbole, it is solid truth.
Shall we let the memories of these men
be forgotten? Shall we let the heroic
intrcpedity Of the Southern people lapse
into forgetfulness? No, Il thousand times
no. A monument to the Alamo stands
in front of the capitol of the state of
Texas. Will not the members of the
Twenty fourth legislature make an appro-
priation to erect a sister monument on the
other side of the lawn dedicated to the
memory of the Confederate dead who
fell fighting for the rights and homes and
| fircsides of the South?
