pgr hr ' >? nl'**?i-*e?a??i >'mW i^MUiKMMw??? For the Tings. An Interesting Lbttar From Ttzu. B.iilkv, Tkxas, Feb. lo.?Kim tor Union Tines: ? flere in Texas we are undergoing the same difficulties in n\oney metiers that your people are confronted with in Caroline, ao<t we suipoae all o*er the cotton growing "4Ty states. If we may judge the wholo South by the situation bore it i? in a worse condi'inti than for many years. The pros) ect b. rets the most critical it has been at any lime during ibe eight years I hare been hero, owing, no doub', in a great niessure to the extreme ly low puce or Uolinn, which is the leading industry here. It is the dependence or most farmer* f?r raising money. The country produces morn co: Ion now thin i* i eota-sry to supp y the demau Is, under the circumscribed tiuiucul system. B|^ The f&ulh will h*vo to produce less eetten or the government wi 1 have ti devise ways find menus to put more money in Circulation. IJut when w>ll the pro luction of cotton decrease? The ind cations do not poiut in that direction just now, with so much of Texas being developed every year, t<> say nothing of the immense cott in growing te giun ill all that country lying N rth of Texas to Missouri and Kansas, ant from New Met co on the West to Ailtaurns on the East, embraced in the Indian Territo y, ail of whioh produces cot on to a greater or lets extent. And it is reasonable to sup, ose, Mr. Editor, the terr.tory West of the Mississippi will prodhce as muoh o>tt?n within a few years as is proluced now in the whole country. The value of o?i ton is very low and and this being the case it will doubtless, to a great extent, obango the Modus oumrrandi of the business methods it tic Miulueru conntry. The oh uigc is even taking place now. A failure to obtuin advances from wholesalers by Southern Merchants who depend largely upon a co lon cr p tor th? pay uient of their bil s, wou d operate very effectually upon planters in a reduct on of the , Acreage of cotten throughout the South and Southwest. Word now conies from Saint Louis, to the effect that many wholesale houses are now quitting the Southern territory on aocount of the depressed fiuaucial condition of this country. . Many drummers, so it is said, hare been taaeu from Texas territory by St. Liuis houses since the holidays. It is to be hoped tint the depresse I condition which now confronts us umy, in the end, be the means of b inging about some * good results in tho future. It may change the m inner for the best, in ninny business transac ions ; it may bring informs in fintocespit may change the style of living to a gr*nt extern, and much good may come from our pre-eul sui rounding*, though we may not be able to realize it f >r sometime to come. There is somothiog very wrong about the financial system of our country, and our sUiesmou ate beginning to realize tlie situation. 1 will quote you mi extract from a recent letter of Judge Culberson of Texas to one of his constituents, upon the money ' 4 M ' "1 uo n?l underestimate tho imparlance _ > of our success in the ou>vn< of 1802. Bat if we mast surrender our convictions upon the money question and en lure indctiuite'y the evils nod oppression of the preseut system, it n becotnos puriioont to enquire what we are to gaiu by the election of a democratic president? If our people are to be robbed merci- -? lc-sly by a system of finance that it fast ft reducing the firmer* of the South to p >verty, -* under a democratic administration, what becomes of our professijus of devotion and ' loyalty to the interest of the people? 1 do not believo that it is noccsstry for us to betray the iuterea! of our people to the greed of Eastern capitalists in oider to e'cct a democratic president. The great West stands reudy to unite with us in overthrowing the hideous out rages of the tariff uad the financial despotism which uow oppresses the people, find all that is uooessary for us to secure success is to be true to those who have bonded us." , > .# It is very evident from these expressions s* of Mr. Culberson that he believes that the - I financial system of the omatry is in e do> plorable condiion, and that the reus lying ) of Kis tlxe paramount duty of our statesmen at the present juncture. Now is an excellent time to buy land in Texas. It ie down lower than for some time. Lands can be bought here now from $5, to $10 J per acre cheaper than the same could have been bought four years ago. Improved lands and 1 mean by the term improved, land that is cleared fcuued aud with Ifrfuses and cis igri), on: , upon ii, mat wuiiif j nave sold Tour years ago, all the way frorijii20 to $35, per * in mauy iostauoes, can noffbe had at from $15 to $25. Of course the prioe of cotton ? has hod a great deal to do with thi9 decline iu liud. By the way, that reminds me that some one, only a few days ago, sold some cation in Wolfe City for three cents per pound. Corn was very scarce in this State last ' year, and sold as high as $1 per bushel, for a time, but it did n it range s> high only a shot t time. A large crop was produced last season, cousec|ueoMy the price is much lower ? this year. It sells at 40 to 69 cents now, sad tt is more than probable that it will not go any higher during tbo summer. ? Some farmers will plant Iqss cotton, while y others will p'ant as much as ever the com- / ing season. x Hare trora time to time written you a great de^l about llio newspapers iu this Western ouuuiry, but I am sure I never told you about the Galveston and D?llas Newsct. These publications are, you might sty, duplic^es, The publishers are A. II. Belo & Co. The llelos came from Salein, N.C., and located in the city of Galveston, where they commenoed the publicaiiou of the Galveston Newt some 60 years ago. The Dallas Newt _ was established nearly seven years since, T and is the otfspriug of the former. It may 1 leein a novel feature, to publish two papers J couta<ning nearly the same news, 316 miles apart, on the same morning. The Sia'e ie tlititled into two divisions fop news-gathering ; Galveston working the Southern while Dallas works ihe Northern division, and the news thus collected each (ley is imerchangk ed by a telegraph, line, jrhiob connects the two offices, and which are operated by their own operators. This h is been successfully carried on for more than six years. The Dalles Nnot runs a special train out of the . City every morning at great expense and pleoes ibe paper in several large towns * before breekfast ; also making connections '.nth many early out-goiog trains from Piano, MoKinoey, Sherman and Denison. *Fhe Newset are a financial success. / Politics seem lo be et a low ebb bere just . t^Pj^w. (lue l+tars more about the senatorial c&nteat thien anything else, which will come up dming sn extra session of the legislature, ? which is being talked of being oalled. Mr. I Horace Chiliou was appointed by the Cover* -1 nor to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Reagan who resigned to accept the Ckairmaoehip of the Railroad Commission. If the extra session is called a Senator will be eleoted. Messrs Chil'on, Mills and Judge Culberson, a-e alt candidates and in rojahiimble judgment Mr. Chilton will be elected or o infirm* d ; but Mills will make a strong reor, simply bemuse ho wee beaten in Congress for the pwtkeiship.
