REPRESENTATIVE BALL.


In tho course of one the last debates of the ses
sion Of congress just closed Representative Ball, who
was attacking the republican policy of fnvorng the
trusts was interrupted by republican member who
inquired
Well tell US what is the democratic remedy for
trusts?"
Mr. Ball replied instantly: TO place all trust
made products on the free list; to deny trusts any
protection whatever in interstate transportation TO
prohibit to them the use of the mails, it is pro-
hbited to other frauds and to naugurate admins
tration which will to penal statutes instead Of
inuuctons in prosecuting these conspracies against
competition and the natural course of commerce"
The aptness of Mr.. Balls reply has been favorably
commented upon by democratic papers all over the
country In a few words he outlined the democratic
remedy for the truste, remedy that would be an ef-
tective remedy and Enthusiastically showed the people
what could be break UP this organized oppres
sion under which all the people suffering

Great Britain the Importance of this matter to our
ships railways and industries is obvious"
It is stated that oil can be sold for shngs

It adds: In San Francisco two years ago less than
1000 barrels of oil used fuel in twelve months

PROSPECTS OF HOUSTON.

When 1t is considered that Houston handled 2,470,
1S9 bales Of cotton last year. that conservative
estimate of the rice acreage this year is little
100000 acres which double the acreage of last year.
and which will increase the commercial Importance Of
Houston to the extent of S600O000 this year; that
600 10000 feet of lumber is the extent of Houstons
lumber trade for the year. the Of the citys
prosperity the triple foundation of cotton rice and
lumber is appreciated.
The manufactures OF Houston are growing at a
rapid rate the rate of increase 1890 in the
Der OF establishments having been 1414 per cent and
in tho amount of capital invested 97.3 per The
value of the ctys manufactured products for 1900
was $40, 56S,175.
When the stimulus to manufacturing of all sorts
which Is being felt Of the discovery
the enormous oil supply at Beaumont at Houstons
very door has had it's full effect the amount manu-
featuring done in Houston will be greater than the
most ganguino venture to predict BY tho
discovery Of oil the of fuel has reduced from
30 to GO per cent Without this discovery and conse
Guent reduction of expense the number of Houstons
manufacturing establishments increased in the ten
years from 1890 to 1900 1414 per cent. With these
facts before it Is safe to forecast wonderful in
in Houston manufacturing during the ten years
from 1900 to 1910. Indeed in the two years of this
period that have elapsed manufacturing enterprise o
all sorts have been constructed here and those pro
jected and shortly to be enumerated
make up very extensive list
and when In addition to all other considerations
the great fact taken note of that Houston is to have
deep channel to the sea and is to be conve tee
into port, 1t is that there is not city in the
United States that has such sure prospects of great
and rapid increase.
