Governor's Message to Wyoming Legislature 1879
The governor notes general prosperity in the Territory, improved industry, and lawfulness with one northern border exception. He warns against unlawful acts by labor and capital, urges fair wages and lawful remedies, and discusses prison costs, county finances, and proposed reforms to courts, elections, and county offices. He highlights stock and beef markets, railroad-era trade, and rapid expansion in cattle, wool, and meat exports to Europe.
