MAJOR WAL
TONS
LETTER
Major W M Walton pop-
ulist nominee fot attorney gen-
eral of Texas has renounced
the nomination and will vote
for Bryan and Sewall In a-
long letter he says this is the
only course for any populist to
prevent the danger of the state
being voted for McKinley by
an unholy compact between
populist leaders and republi-
cans
A MARKET FOR SILVER
Among the various opinions
as to what silver will be worth
an ounce in gold if Bryan is
elected the most interesting is
that of R H Kleinschmidt of
Helena Montana He is
worth many millions of dollars
and his money backsjiis opin-
ions He offers to buy silver
at iio an ounce to be paid
for in United States gold coin
when Wr J Bryan as president
of the United States has sijjn
ed a free coinage bill He of
fers to give security on a con
tract for 100000 and to ar-
range for taking 2000000
worth on the same terms if the
other side desires The details
of this interesting offer were
given in our news columns last
week the matter coming too
late for comment
Mr Kleinschmidtts a terri-
ble fellow who by this action
has driven the New York
World to silence It first found
out that he is rich enough to
put up the twenty millions him-
self
What does he do this for
Perhaps to make or lose five
or ten cents on the dollar in
backing his opinion But no
matter what his motive the
offer is open to the world for
those who can give proper bus-
iness security in making the
contract Who calls Mr Klein
schmidt Till his offers are
taken the market value bf sil-
ver bullion as 3 future condi-
tioned on the adoption of free
coinage by the United States
is 110 an ounce price pay-
able in gold coin Who has
silver for future delivery on
these conditions Monterey
Times
A COMPARISON
Mexico is now building new
lines of railroad and extending
her foreign commerce She is
building new manufacturing
establishments and enlarging
old ones There are no strikes
or lockouts in Mexico
Although it would be an
easy matter for the people of
Mexico Ho emigrate to the
United States if they thought
that by doing so they could
benefit their condition et they
refuse to do so Our most
miserable pauper labor comes
from gold standard countries
There is more misery want
and actual suffering among the
masses in the United States
than there is in Mexico
Mexico may not be exactly a
model Utopia in ever respect
but she will stand comparison
with the United States The
goldbugs have made a mistake
in this Mexican business

Brownsville Cameron OoM Texas
Cameron County is the extreme
southern county o Texas It is
separated from Mexico by tho Rio
Grande on the south and has about
100 miles of gnlf coast as its east-
ern boundary It was organized in
1818 and contains 8308 square
miles Farming and stock raising
are the principal industries of the
people the location climate and soil
being admirably adapted for both
The greater portion o tho soil is a
rich loam and produces an exceed-
ingly heavy yield of both cotton
and corn the chief farm products
Two and sometimes three crops of
corn averaging from fiftv to seven-
ty bushels per acre are raided year-
ly while cotton will easily yield
from one to two bales per acres
Grasses grow all the year and slock
find pasturae without being fed or
sheltered during the winter Hut
the soil and climate of the Lswcr
Uio Grande Val ey are by nature
best adapted for tho production of
vegetables and fruits Vegetables
af all kinds grow all the year
oround and northern people are as-
tonished to find tomatoes lettuce
spinach English peas etc served
fresh from the gardens in midwin-
ter This is undotibUHlly the par-
adise of track gardeners and so
soon as rail trnnportntion is ob-
tained Cainemn county vegetables
by the car load will be shipped to
northern market during winter and
early spring and ij obtain tho
highest prices h there will be no
competition This is due to our
exceedingly mild climate Fre-
quently the entire winter pns e
without a single frost and there is
rarely ever any cold venther bofore
Christmas 1rtiit culture has nut
been attempted in this county on n
large scale but there is one larne
banana plantation on which this
delicious fruit yields moHt nbund
antly and in the greatest perfection
Grapes are also raised extensively
growing in almost every yard They
ripen from two to four weeks enr
lier than in any other section
Many planter hero make all of
thoir own tablo wines Oranges
and lennns also grow in profusion
and this Mrlinn could easily be
innnV to rival Florida in the pro-
duction of oranges Sugar cane is
ulso one of the most important pro
pucU of this valley The Kin
GrunnV plantation of Mr Geo Urn
lay and the Uabb SUtrrk plantation
produce gr at quantities of cane
which is all manufactured on the
Rio Grande plantation This cane
makes sugar which is produced by
experts to bp even superior to the
best Louisiana product Havana
tobacco has also proven a success
here Col J G Tucker having
made some most successful experi-
ments with it his samples were
classed by New York buyers as
equal to the best Havana
The county is watered by the Rio
Grande with its ample flow along
the southern boundary and mini
< rnu < small streams ca led arroya
and reHca s
The population of Cameron coun-
ty according to the census of 1800
is 13424 Brownsville the county
seat has a population of about
7000 Point Imhel tho oeapott of
the county has about 400 inhabi
tants and Santa Maria a griming
little river settlement has uhout2o

There are 82210 acres of sclunl
laud in the countv The county

400 ind giivfi employment to 80
teachers The average length of
the sulioul term is live months The
total tuition revenue received from
tlic State is 13 000 There are n
number of politic schools iu the
county affording ample educational
advantages
Hoinnseekers arc gradually be-
ginning to t niri their way o this
land where fanners can work in thu
open air 305 dins iu the year but
it is comparatively undeveloped as
