In our local columns to-day appeari u
pppcitneo of a clais of letter# that for
some time have been pouring into our city
addressed to friends, real estate agenti,
banker*, and city officials
We are not of Mat school of socalled
joutnnlists who feel themselTes called
upon to boom their Boutrouhdings re-
gardless of conditions and consequences;
who think it no discredit to themselvc*
and their papers, and not disgusting to
t&eir readers, to un»ettle business inter-
ests, and break up homes abroad by
means of highly colored,false representa-
tions of locil con litions, ass-ductire as
misleading, to induce capital and popula-
tion to their respective sections
No cyclone ever struck a towa with
m ire disis'rous effects, in the end, than
does the irreioonsible b > mer strike who
suoce ds in beguiling th« unsu<pecting
emigrant into loss and disappointment,
thereby putting curses into his mouth
that *vlll spread and grow, to the serious
injury of the section involved. Expe-
rience teaches that boom-iuflated values
oaude a resultant depression even below
the low tide of prosperity, requiring time
and care for a a recovery, t-ven to normal
conditions
El Paso n-eds no false praise to entice
capital and aealth seekers to her embrace
She bkiZes not as the misleading it'nis
fatuus, but as the star of Bethlehem,
where hope bears a fair promise of re-
ward; where experience teaches, and
substantial p-os jects indicate,that health
cla ms no fairer c ime and investments
have no more satisfactory abo^e.
Now, while the labor and race qties
tious urg asiuming such colossal propor-
tions throughout the ltnd, and "high
tariff" is mercilessly bleediug the most
important industries of the nation, caus-
ing more or less uneasiness and depres-
sion in commercial circles, it is truly
encouraging to see. such experenced
capitalists as N, W Harris & Co, S. A
Kean & o, and other prominent bankers
of the east, and our wideawake locol
bankers grasping f ir El Paso cit3' bonds,
ofevery description.
It requires no financial ability or pro'
ptetic genius to foresee the wonderful,
pfrhap3 unprecedented, future growth of
El Paso, as foreshadowed by such letters
as the one under considera'ion, which
show conclusi vely th<tt as a leader in the
race of progress, El Paso is fully re-
cognized abroad, as well as at home.

Political p-iinters are multiplying and
accumu'a ing like undisposed of rubbish
in a junk shop, and it is gralif>ing to
the advocates of a good honest adminis-
tration of government to know that a
state of confusion exists in the republican
camp which seriouslj threateni to cause
a general and disastrous stampede of the
party from its old leaders and principles.
Dissatisiaction with the policy of the
administration is becoming daily more
geneial and for reaching. Everywhere
are Heard nearing rumblings of the ap-
proching upheaval of public opinion
which is to hurl the "G. O. P."(theguilty
old party) from power—tho power so long
mimsed and abused.
Even on the outskirts,the small fry,the
crossroads politicians,grown reckless in a
sinking cause, disgusted with, barefaced
njustice, und emboldened by the growls
of superiors in the ranks.are kicking with
an energy worthy of a good causa.
This is a healihy conditions of things—
for the country, and should bo allowed
to grow until the honest republicans see
and acunowledge the error of their ways,
and until the Guilty Old Party falls "by
the way side, or disintegrates because of
its unjust "pronction," never ending
raids ugon the treasury, and general cor
ruption.
aw;ke and act,
' There is much to be done in El Paso
:«id by El Patoan's before we are read/
to recicve, in a creditable manner, the
immense population and the mints of
capital that are evidently preparing to
join us for weal or woe. A site for
the sixteen company post must be pro-
cured, and it will take money,
Tie site for the Mill's dam and lake
must be procured, which will take
money. The White Oaks road must be
built, which will require money. Arte*
sian water must be bad, and those who
have charge of the matter must wake up
to a realization of the importance of the
matter and push the entei prise to a sue
ful termination.
We need less outside advertising and
more inside push and action. El Paso is
well adveitised. Her resources are
known abroad. Her credit consequently
is good. A world of enterprise and mil
lions of idle capital have an eye on every
enterprising act for development by her
citizens. Well may the Progressive As
sociation look to its laurels.
ings, or disreputable growlings over the
loaves and fishes that may be in sight,
should be frowned out of countenance
and made to take a back seat in the coun-
cil of honest men who are disposed to
work for the good of their fair city.
Let harmony prevail. If officers are to
be choscu. let them be such as will be
acceptable to th -men who are to bear
the burden of the enterprise so commen-
dably contemplated and started All
classes of people and all branches of busi-
ness are r»present»d in the association,
and hence the offi. ers should be represen-
tative men, steady, upright, impartial,
able and nf unquestioned integrity, else
the association will be uo longer a pro-
gressive one
Business in Y»leU must be dull and
amussmeuts scarce, when G lal and his
friends can find nothing to interest them
more than the Billy little game of ' count
out *' which they are playing just for
fun.
The El Paso Progressive association is
to bold a business meeting tonight. E^cry
member who has the inten 8t of the city
at heart should attend, and attending, as
a man who dtrres to do right, should see
to it that the interests of the city are not
wantonly jeopardized to serve the pers
sonal ends of some unscrupulous hanger-
on. Let such action be taken as will be
for the public good. Let no man's per-
sonal claims for a moment prejudice the
waking iuterests of El Paso. Let the
unqualified desire.the boldfaced attitude,
the untrammelled,fearless action of every
man present, regardless of private inter
ests, personal preferences and politics, be
for El Paso,s advancement first, last and
all the time.
Ue is a miscreant who does otherwise,
at this the most important juncture of El
Paso's history, when there is so much to
be done to prepare her for the
boom, for the coming of which
w.e have not yet put every
thing in order, but which, if well pro*
vided for, promises to eclipse any sub-
stantial, lasting boom on record. Those
who, forgetful of their own manhood and

SHALL WF. HAVE COMMERCIAL WAR?
Th« Danger to Which Our High Turin
Apostles \r« KxjMisiiii! U*.
One of tin' favorite ideas of tho pro-
tectionists is tin:, tin' country must bo
made what they « ill commercially inde-
pendent of all i :i rest of the world.
Everything that m he made on sacred
American soil, ti. it. we must make: con-
gress niust legislate to haVtj it done; con-
sumers mm t. pay. inciter pru.es in order
that it m.v.' he done, ami we will keep
our money at Inane and all j^row rich
together. Tho l'< t 'igner we will treat as
commercially our enemy, for he that
cures not for his <>* it household is worse
than an inliih l.
Foreign <'omm> i < is scarcely to be de-
sired, u is held, and so we will pass Mc-
Ivinley udmini-tr. '.ive customs bills and
McKinley UiriiT r vision bills and wall
ourselves i;i commercially from the rest
of \he world.
The barbarism and anti-progressive
spirit of these sentiments are worthy of
the middle ages. It is such sentiments
as these that the civilized nations of the
world have succeeded within the present
half century in getting China, the hermit
nation of the east, io abandon.
But if we grant that these sentiments
are just. we must still note that those
who lvoid them overlook one part of the
problem of commercial intercourse. We
call prevent the importation of foreign
goods, and we can con.intte to prosper-
in a less degree, of • course, .but still to
prospor,
The more .important question is, can
we get on-equally .well, without selling
any tiling to lie' S'orei .;i;er? What, for
install:- -. <1<» 111" 'rowers of wheat and
corn and cotton think of this question?
Our farmers exported'- three-fourths of
the $'!!4,t)',M,G0 I worth of products sold
abroad- last year. The Cotton growers
sent otlt S';(i(i.00!).000 worth: the wheat
grow, i s over HSS.OOO.OUO worth of wheat
and Hour, and the corn growers added
about §:»(>.(iOU.OOO more. Other farm prod-
ucts bring the-rand total up to almost
$000,000,000.
Now, what do the farmers think of
this "commercial independence" scheme?
Are they willing to 'see commercial in-
tercourse endangered to their own hurt?
Do we suppose that we can pass laws
shutting out foreigners from our ports
with their wares and not be retaliated
against by these same foreigners? Our
farmers have already had a taste of this
kind of tiling in the action of France
and Germany in shutting out American
pork. Do the farmers want more of that
kind of thing? Are they ready to see
their ou u foreign markets endangered
or restricted in order to give our protect-
ed manufacturers "a high protection wall
to defend the holy homo market for
tlieni?
This is not an idle theory. A French
paper at Lyons, France, has recently
printed an article which has attracted
some attention in this country, showing
that the principal European nations
would most likely take retaliatory steps
to protect their interests if tho McKinley
bill should become a law. According to
this paper, a member of tho French
chamber of deputies, M. Maximo Le-
comte, recently had an interview with
the French minister of foreign affairs,
and learned that France, England, Italy
and Switzerland have united in a joint
address to the United States government
on tho subject. These nations will show
our government that we sell them a great
deal more than we buy, and that hence
it is a matter of much greater import-
ance to its to hold our European market
than to shut the European out of the
American market.
The Lyons paper calls attention to the
fact that congivss passed a law two years
ago authorizing the president to take
measures of reprisal against Canada; and
the French editor closes with the follow-
ing significant warning to our American
law makers: "They could not be sur-
prised, therefore, if tho governments of
countries whose commerce is threatened
by the application of the McKinley bill
should do the same thing on their own
behalf, should this ill advised measure be
adopted with the oppressive and out-
rageous provisions which arouse against
it so justly the indignation of tho com-
mercial classes of the Old World."
