STEWART AS A GOLDBUG.
The Congressional Record " Shows Him ia
BE One In Speech of 20 Years Ago.

Tbe "COngreSs1On0I record" shows Him to
BE One in q Speech of 20 Years Ago.
tSan Francisco Bulletin. Rep.l
Twenty-Five years ago, in the Senate of the
United States, William Morris Stewart, of Ne
vada, saw plainly all the evils that would come
from driving out gold by tho issue of fat money
proposed at that time by those gentlemen other
than William Morris Stewart who are now the
most ardent advocates of Organism. 1t was
with prescent knowledge he arose in his place
on Jan. 90, 1874, as may be seen on page 1873
OF the Congressional Record, and said:
We have resources abundant to get the
gold. Forty million people can furnish all the
money that is necessary. They will get it.
When gold is invited to country like this,
with such IN industrious people as We have,
with our industry and our resources, l say
there will be no difficulty about getting sufi-
cient gold.
"Why, sir, everything we have got is meas
ured by gold. Your greenbacks are measured
by gold. But your contrivance is so uncertain
that the middleman rsaps all the reward, while
the producer is robbed continuously. II you
are going to have gold in this country you must
make demand for gold by usingit
In every country where god has been treated
unkindly. whore the Government has favored
a deprecated currency, gold has left the coun-
try. Gold left France at the time she under
took this same experiment. Gold left ENGLAND
when she allowed irredeemable paper to be cir
culated, and she had to 60 back to the regular
standard before she could get 1t back. Gold
left Holland in tho Same way. You
have legislated gold ont Of your country. In
vte it back, and 40 0OO0, 600 people will get you
all the gold you want You will have
for your currency, aud it will come very shortly.
Then We shall have prosperity based upon .

William Morris Stewart knows all this as
we'll as he did 90 years ago--or would know it
If some kind frie1d were to jog his failing mem.
ory. 1t is however, too much to hope that he
would admit the possession of the knowledge.

On This Campaign Depends Our Future
Prosperity.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I would
say that your position suits me exactly, and
that we should all be looking after this mat
ter closely during this present campaign, and
not leave stone unturned, for on this cam
paign depends our future prosperity. The
last Presidential campaign has set us all
back in progress for at least 10 years, and
think that now it is high time that we should
all be wide awake.
We have organized Mckinley and Ho-
bart Club in our little village, consisting of
about 200 members and prospects of more
coming into the club, and we are also having
prosperous Mckinley and Hobart Clubs or
ganized in our adjoining villages and cities,
and i think that if we all do our best the
prospects will be much brighter after No
vember next. Knock Free Silver on the
head, and We shall have good times once
more. H. JENKINS. JR.. Wampum, Pa.

Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1896-12-19

The past record of this firm demon
strates that it's declaration in this re-
gard is not a shibboleth for catching
trade, or commercial war cry for secur-
ing patronage, but a principle of action,
a working rule, upon which all OF its
extensive business transactions have
been based. The company have houses
at Las Vegas and Socorro, and transacts
an extensive business as importers and
jobbers in staple and fancy groceries.
A speciality is made of wool, hides and
pelts in which they do the largest bust
ness of any company in all the south
west. Some idea of the magnitude of
their business may be gathered from the
fact that the annual shipments in wool
run over 100000 pounds, and that the
company carries stock valued at
100000, employing over fifty hands in
their trade, which extends to all points
in New Mexico, and covers a consider
able territory in southern Colorado. In
addition to the grocery trade, this firm
carries the largest stock of agricultural
implements to be found in the territory.
This great commercial institution of
which New Mexico is justly proud was
founded in Kansas City in 1858 by L. p.
Browne and w. H. Chick. In 1879 1t
was moved to Las Vegas, doing an i'm
mense business during the construction
of the Santa Fe railroad. In 1898 L. p.
Browne, senior member Of the firm died,
his place being taken by his son.
Mr.. Manzanares became member OF
the firm in 1870, having worked his way
up from employe to partner. The per
sonnet of this institution is composed of
men whose interests are those Of the
section in which they reside and do
business. They believe in the future Of
New Mexico and at all times have been
found in the front rank of those enter
prising citizens who are aiding her in
the fultillment of that high destiny for
which nature intended her. Their high
standing in the commercial world is al
ways assurance of methods OF strict
business probity which has character
lied all of their commercial transactions.

first as clerk, and then as partner in
company with Phil. Holman. Remaining
here for several years, he afterwards re-
moved to Las Vegas and went into bust
ness with S. A. Clements.
In the spring Of 1882 Clements retired
from the firm, and it was during the
next year that Mr.. Martinez commenced
to take an active interest in politics.
His ability was apparent from the start.
In 1884 he did his first campaign work,
as supporter Of Hon. F. A. Manznares
in his race for Congress, and from that
time on evinced an adaptability for
leadership that was not slow Of general
recognition.
In the fall of 1886 Mr.. Martinez had
come to be generally recognized as
leader of the Democratic party in San
Miguel county. He became candidate
for county assessor. and under his able
generalship the Democrats for the first
time in years elected nearly the whole
ticket in the face Of strenuous oppoei-
ton. His own election was contested
on fragrant steal Of votes but he was
seated in Office by the courts.
In 1883 he was elected to the legisla-
ture, and returned az a senator four
years later. During the same year he
was a delegate to the National Demo-
cratic Convention at Chicago, and chair
man Of the New Mexican delegation.
In December 1893 he became clerk OF

aside from any considera-

development, aside from any considera-
tons of profit which must necessarily
accrue from it's immense exchange in
commodities There is hardly terrific
rial production that does not find a
ready sale with this house, which main
tains branch at Albuquerque, having
it's main establishment at Las Vegas
and its agents in every part OF the terri
Old Mexico. Ostensibly this firm is in
business as wholesale grocers and wool
dealers, and IN these two lines of com.
merce an enormous business is done.
Probably the greater part of the yearly
traffic is in the exchange Of these two
commodities. But in reality the COM
mercial sphere of the Gross Blackwell
Company is much broader than can be
indicated by the trade term, "Wholesale
grocers and wool dealers" The firm not
only deals in wholesale groceries and
wool, but in every product that occu
pies place on the marts of trade as a
result of human labor Commercial
Emporium and New Mexican Producers
Exchange" would be a more appropriate
title for the house, whose operations ex-
tend far beyond the scope of the aver
age mercantile establishment. For spe-
citic example:
The company furnishes the Santa Fe
railroad with ties for the whole territory;
also, with bridge and mining timber.
This branch of their trade alone gives
employment to hundreds Of men and the
means of subsistence to hundreds of
families. Thirty men are required to
transact the inside business of the com
pany, and the attaches if reckoned as
whole, run up into the thousands.
In addition to the grocery stock, the
firm carries full line of dry goods, boots,
shoes, ETC., and also handle between
$4,000 and $1,000 sheep yearly, and an
enormous amount of hides.
The firm of Gross, Blackwell e. Co. in
1881 succeeded Otero, Seller Il Co.,
which had been established some years
previous for traffic in wool. Mr.. Jacob
Gross and Mr.. Henry w. Kelly, now a
member of the firm of Gross, Blackwell
& Kelly, the well-known wool house of
st. Louis, were in the employ Of the
Otero. Sellar company, and, seeing field
for extended operations, bought out
their employers, and, together with Mr..
Arthur M. Blackwell, who, at the time
of the formation of the company, was in
the employ of Brown, Manzanares Il Co.,

Few men are better known or more
highly respected for those sterling quail

Felix Martinez. He has had broader
career and a more varied experience
than falls to the lot of most men, due in
large measure to that restless spirit Of

Mr. Martinez is native of Taos coun-
ty, and is descended from family
famous in the early history of the Span
ish possessions. He was educated at St.

career as boy Of fourteen in store at

same capacity at Pueblo. Colorado. At

Later he went into business for him

elected school superintendent, the duties
of this position requiring all his time,
thus forcing him to resign, temporarily
from his newspaper work.
He held the position Of school super

of his second term, decided to re-enter
