llou«W>n I'nflt.
The people in the eastern and
northern sections of th is country
appear to have but little concep-
tion of the greatneaa of this state,
other than ita immense area. The
papera in other portiona of the
United States ere continually re-
ferring to our length and breadth
ae a state, but they overlook our
real greatneaa, oor resources and
present volume of production and
businsss.
The Charleston News and Cour-
ier famishes a sample of the tu-usl
comment in the following.
Texas is a great átate. It is
great enough to be an independent
republic, as it ought to have been
frota the first, end aa it probably
will be some day if the republican
{wrty lives long enough to fulfill
ta special and partly accomplished
mission of bresking up the old
Union. How large it ia in terri-
tory ia shown by a writer in the
Ladiea' Home Journal. He aays:
"Texas is two hundred and twelve
times the site of Kbode Island.
Texaa might invite every man,
woman and child now living in
the world to fettle within ita terri-
tory, offering each individual a
plot cf ground 4N# feet by 100
feet. The state would not he
really crowded, for each individ-
ual would have four times the
space taken by each perron in
New York City. Kngland, Ire-
land, Hootland, Wales, Italy and
Portugal could he trananlanted to
Ttxaaand there would atill be
room for a goot'-iized promenade.
Three of the cattle ranches of
Tex a* cover ae much territory aa
the Sandwich Islands, which we
were to annex four yeara ago."
While this imperial domain is a
source of much local pride, Texans
love to dwell upon the evid noes
of progress within these bouodar-
iee. Few ouUide of the ttate know
that the agricultural production of
Texas annually amounts to some-
thing like 1200,000,000 in value;
that the bank clearings of half a
dozen Tex is cities aggregate abnut
9800,000,000 annually; that the
taxable wealth of the state is f850,-
000,000 in round numbers; that
the value of the public buildings
and grounds and eleemosynary in-
stitutions belonging to the state ie
nearly 911,000,000; chat the man-
ufacturing output amounts already
to b.tween 960,000,000 and 9C 0,.
000,000 annually, and that the
btate debt ia one of the smalleet in
the Union, with a tax rate lower
than that cf three fourths of the
etatea. Few know that we have
our own coal and iron and an im-
mense tin ber be t, and tbatallthe
reasonable and natural wants of
man, including his homn, h a food
and clothing, can bt supplied from
our own resource*—that a Chimse
wall could be built around ua and
we atill be comfortable and happy.
It ia this development rather
than our area that is the chief
source of pride and hope to the
Texan. Possibly if the figures of
our wealth and production were
more generally the subject of com-
ment in the eastern prints, the
ciude ideas of the state entertained
in some iiuartera might undergo a
change that would be profitable to
us—the world would oease to re-
gard the state as a vast and unde-
veloped cattle plain.
