UNITED AND VIGOROUS ACTION
NECESSARY FOR AIrSTIN

Ihe number of people that were in
Austin on Sunday clearly demonstrates
that the natural attractions of Austin
and its environments are sufficient TO
gather into it large crowds of excursion
lists from every section of the State. If
we were to add to these natural attrac.
tons some special attraction, and obtain
from the railroads low excursion rates.
we would have much larger number of
people than we had on Sunday, when the
only inducement outside of Austins pub-
lie buildings, the dam and the lake. was
excursion rates on the railroads center
ing here.
We call attention to this to show how
we, as citizens of Austin, are sleeping
upon our advantages. If the excursions.
such as we had on Sunday, with the pres
tige of three days were supplemented by
some special attraction, the streets and
stores would swarm with visitors. Many
of them. it is true, would be on pleasure
bent and the natural curiosity to see the
public buildings at the State capital and
the great dam and magnificent lake, but
the people of this country are disposed to

The sound money campaign OF educa
lion during the past two months has had
profound and wonderful influence, anC
the result is remarkable and decided
change in sentiment. This work OF
education is going on all over the country
notably in the South and West.
In Mississippi out of seven congress
men-eect, all of whom it was claimed
were free silverites, four have come cut
strong for sound money. A notable
change in Mississippi is that if Hon. I.
j. Graves, member of the legislature and
editor of the Aberdeen Weekly. In a re-
cent issue of his paper, over his own
signature, he declares: "Whiln | have
always been a strong free silver man,
and believed in it as much as any man,
there has been a considerable change in
my mind about this great question. !
have been studying the question diligrnt-
ly, reading all that was sail on both
sides, and have come to the conclusion
that the free silver craze is one indeed. |
could not go before the people of this
country and tell them that l believed
in the unlimited coinage of silver when
l do not. Some men do it, but | will not
The speech of that great states
man, John G. Carlisle, at Memphis, has
never been answered, yet many attempts
have been made to do it, but they were
mere bare assertions without any proof
TO sustain them, except an appeal to the
prejudices of the masses. The people
are not in distress and times are improv-
ing, and what causes all this scrambing?
Nothing but a desire to hold office ON the
part of some men. Politicians usually
advocate the thing that will get them the
office Some of my friends may be sur
prised at my change of opinion in this
matter, but | ann just as honest in if rs
l was in free silver, and | can not go be-
