COST OF RAISING COTTON.
Figures are Given by Man of Practi
cal Experience.

Figures are Given by a Man Of Praeti-
cal Experience.
A gentleman, who has had several
years of practical experience in farming
in Bexa- county gave Light reporter
the following figures yesterday on the
cost of raising cotton:
Interest on land at the rate of per
cent. at $25 per acre, $50; breaking
land, 50 per acre; narrowing and plant
ing. so cents per acre; cultivating.
three times, 35 cents each time, $1.O5
per acre; hoeing, twice, at 80 cents
each time, 81 per acre; picking 800
pounds of third bale at 40 cents,
50. 20 per acre: hauling to gin, 80 cents.
Total cost per acre, $3.50.
This is at the rate of one-third bale
per acre. The cotton seed is offset by
the cost of ginning and marketing.
The cost OF wear and tear OF fences and
other property is not included, nor are
taxes and accidents, such as hail and
other destructive storms. Allowance
is made for a laborer and team at 81
day.

GOOD STREET WORK.

Street Commissioner Micklejohn has
the thanks of the spublic in recently
giving San Antonio two good streets
for the use of vehicles, namely, Market
street and Avenue d. Market street
was in a wretched condition for years.
Now it is laid and smooth as asphalt
paving and takes off a great deal OF
the traffic which overlooked Commerce
street.
Ave. ID was a good street, but had
worked up into dangerous holes and
those culvert crossings were a menagt
to every wheeled vehicle and even t.
equestrians and pedestrians. They
were choked and in many places
broken and rotten. They have beer
taken away and the necessary drain
for storm water has been effected by
the scooping out basin at least TWEEN
ty-four feet across, but of so easy a
decline that there is no jar in crossing,
These dangerous and costly culverts
will be taken out all over the city in
time and streets treated in the same
manner as Avenue ID.

OUR PARKS.

Water pipes are being laid on Wash
ington square by the city, in order TO
have water to aid in putting this long
neglected park in good condition and
making it beautiful with lawn and
shrubbery. 1t will soon be ploughed
and sodded and laid off into walks and
flower beds, and shade trees will be
planted.
Alderman Mahncke, chairman of the
city parks committee, is having the
old, half dead chinaberry shade trees
removed from Travis park and sturdy
young shade trees of another variety
substituted. This causes the park TO
have temporarily, a somewhat de-
nude appearance, but the growth Of
the young trees will soon cover the de-
ficiency.
Milan, Cor Paschal } square park, is
being ploughed. and when smoothed,
grass viii be sown, and next monte
trees and shrubbery will be planted
therein.

were addressed plainly to we'll known

Mr.. Sutor thinks the letter carriers

TO MOVE no HARRls.

Mr.. Louis Mackensen is near Hous-
ton putting his plant in snaps. AS soon
as he gets it sufficiently improved he
will move his stock from San Antonio
to- it. We are glad he is getting
where he can have plenty of room.
This will perhaps interfere with his ex-
hibiting at the shows this winter. He
was recently employed to judge the
poultry at the Seguin fair of which he
writes: Il was surprised at the num-
Der and quality of the exhibition.
There were many specimens which
would have been good company for
the best at our large winter shows.
The breeders down there are anxious
to learn and are trying hard to breed
up to the highest notch" Now that
Mackensen has broken the ice we hope
he will be called on to judge other
shows. He is as we'll qualified as many
of the national reputation" judges,
is as honest as the days are long and
will make an excellent judge.-South-
ern Poultry Journal.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1897-11-28

Mr.. Mackensen is one of San Anton
. los leading poulterers and was one of
the leading spirits in organizing our
two annual poultry shows, in 1895 and
1886. His reasons for moving to Har-
ris county are stated to be that he will
have more room to branch out in his
business, and can better raise his feed
there than here.

MR. GROW on THE GOLD STANDARD.

The Hon Galusha A. Grow is one Of the his
toric men of the last half Of this century. He
entered Congress In 1851, served continuously
for several terms as Representative. and was
elected Speaker of the House, and, though not
constantly in Congress, has been active In pub
lie life and as a champion Of Republican prin-
ciplcs for forty-six years. and Is still a useful
and honored member of the House. His speech
before the Monetary Conference, of which I'M
I,ortant portions are given to-day, shows no
lack Of care and patience a student, or of
ability as a rclsoncr, and withal the pure and
exalted patriotism Of the man Is not questioned
even by opponents. Mr.. Grow arrays a great
body Of facts, drawn mainly from sources
of the highest authority TO sustain the argu-
ment that there can be and should be for the
civilized world but one standard Of values, and
that any use of two having varying relations
TO each other must involve necessary failure
and dishonor.
II is probably true that the confusion Of
thought which mistakes circulating medium
for a standard Of value. to which Mr. Grow
so persistcntly calls attention, is the cause Of
a great part Of the strife on this subject Mr.
Grow himself does not seem at all times en-
tirely free from The idea that the number Of
the value measures in use may 90 far to deter
mine their fitness for that service. The meas.
IRE of values. however. does not need to be in
definitely multiplied in order to perform that
service any more than fresh yardstick Is nee
cssary for every measure OF length. Mr. Grow
presents many facts 10 show how large n part
of the active business Of commercial nations Is
transacted by use Of credit substitutes for
money. and how greatly the efficiency of these
has been increased by nsurlng their ready and
certain redeemabilty. and accurate representa-.

ton of gold in value. The solution OF inc
whole monetary problem will have come VINE"
the perfection of the monetary machinery n'S
gone so far that precisely the monetary value
Of the gold coin represented shall always a,-
tach to the various forms of circulation useo
from the United States legal tender down 10
the bank checks.
The zeal of Mr.. Grow takes him shade TOO
far in some sentences which appear 10 imp!
that gold has never changed and can never
change It's value or purchasing power, from
year to year or from century to century. Inc
great increase in the worlds supply NJ one
,eriod did in the judgment of the ablest STU
dents. render gold somewhat cheaper with re-
spect to other things just as its comparative
scarcity might have rendered 1t dearer at an
other period If substitutes and credit machin-
cry had not wonderfully lessened the quantity
of the metal required in performing with safe'y
and accuracy a given volume of commercial
transactions.
But il Is not in the least necessary TO urge
that the worlds accepted standard of value has
never undergone any change whatever, any
more than it is to suppose that the ordinary
foot measure never expands or contracts with
ttmperaturn For the standard which ap-
proaches more closely to accuracy than any
other attainable will be used for that reason.
Value it should always be remembered. is in
enc essential respect different from other quail
ties such as length or weight, because 1t Is ut
bottom nothing but the human estimate of the
relative desra blcncss of different objects. In
fixing a price. meu nstnctively balance the
gold in their minds as well as the thing priced.
The standard being strictly maintained the
estimates of the commercial world determine
from hour to hour the relation between that
known and definite quantity Of gold and other
things, without going into any calculation to
determine whether the gold is slowly growing
scarcer or more PLENTIFUL
