Occupation taxes for 1899 weie
$918,902.48, and in 1902 (estimat-
ed) at $1,051,621.18, or an increa' e
of $132,718.70, or 14 per tent in
three years. Other matters might
bi mentioned, but I trust the fore-
going summary will be satisfac-
tory.
Texas has a great fu’tire, for at
present the mode of farming is de-
cidedly primitive (with rare ex-
ceptions the surface has only been
scratched). As more light is given
out, and the population increased,
it is not unreasonable to suppose
that a more intensive, diversified
and scientific system will be devel
oped and accepted by this people.
When timely, deep and thorough
preparation of the soil becomes
known as a necessary prerequisite
in the production of full crops, and
that irrigation and a fixed system
of rotation of crops, and au intelli-
gent use of proper fertilizers for
the respective soils are more fully
understood and appreciated there
will be a change, and the result
find that in 1898 the taxable ‘will be easily the doubling of pres-
ent crops on the same acreage.
....Some Few Facts Worth Knowing...
The growth and popularity of the Kohler & Campbell make pianos is evidenced by the
fact that they are handled by most of the very best dealers in the United State*.

The Kohler & Campbell Piano is a modern instrument that satisfies the most critical.
The tone, construction, durability, and finish we guurantee will last and produce
good music as long as any piano that was ever made.

The Kohler & Campbell Pianos are honestly made and sold honestly. They are repre-

unnecessary expenditures, the happy medium between the extremely high-priced

The important conference at Oy-

in by tbe president, Senators Han
na, Aldricb, Allison, Spooner and
Lodge and Postmaster General
Payne, occurred on Tuesday and
the outcome was in entire accord
ance with that predicted in these
letters some time ago. The presi
dent yielded his tariff revision
views to tbe men who warned him
that any reduction of the duties on
trust made products would iffect
his defeat in 1904. He agreed to
go before the country and advocate
the already time-worn issue of Cu
l*an reciprocity and a constitutional
amendment for the control of the
trusts. He is, however, going up
to Minnesota Where republican
candidates are promising their con
stituents that the election of a re
publican bouse will mean tariff re-
vision and be is likely to have
some very embarassing questions
put to him. Tbe western republi-
cans will not be put off with the
advocacy ot a constitutional amend
ment which it will take yenrs to
effect. They have clearly stated
that they want such a reduction of
the duties as will insure a prompt
decrease in the prices of the neces-
saries of life and when Mr. Roose
velt attempts to divert their at-
tention be is likely to receive some
severe surprises. Everyday, the
democratic leaders in Washington
are receiving reports to the effect
that some republican congressional ly, sober, industrious, hospitable
nominee has declared for tariff re-
vision. but when the president gets citizenship of Texas,
west, the people will have an op-
portunity to learn bow much those
declarations mean.

Be it Resolved by the Legislature of
the State of Texas:
Section 1. That Article 6, Section

Texas be amended so as to hereafter
read as follows:
Skc. 2. ftvery male person subject

000 acres of public land worth
$20,000,000, making an aggregate
of $46,000,000 permanent school
iund. The available 'fund is the
interest on $26,000,000 worth ai
bonds, and a tax of 18 cents on
the $100 on $1,000,000,<foo of tax-
able values, making about $3,-
700,000 per annum from this time
on. We have a corps of teachers
employed who are the peers of anj’
who have made teaching their life
business.
With more than 10,800 n.iles of
railroad, 27,000 mileq of tele-
graph and telephone, electric light
and water plants in almost every
town, many miles of street car
lines, with a bar and medical ex-
perts equal to any in tbe profession
there can be no reason why Texas,
and Texans, should not stand be-
fore the world the moral, social and
intellectual equal of any otber peo-
ple.
To sum up the data and show
the condition and progress of the
State during the past four years,
we
values of tbe State amounted to
$854,6(9,365, while in 1902 such
vAlues amounted to $r,ooo;00o,ooo
as estimated by the comptroller,
amounting to an increase of $145,-
380,635, or 17 per cent in the four
years.
In 1898 the railroad mileage
amounted to 9058 miles, with a
value of $71,032,235; and in 1902
there are ro.Sry miles, and the
value is estimated at $86,536,000—
an increase of 1759 miles, or very
nearly 20 per cent in mileage, and
an increase of $15,503,765 in value
or 21 per cent increase in value in
four years.
Banking facilities have increased
from 194 banks in 1899 to 325 in
1902, or an increase of a fraction
less than 70 pej- cent in two years.
In 1898 there were 18,000 acres
of rice, producing 180,000 harrete
worth $540,000. In 1902 there
are 200,000 acres of rice in cultiva-
tion, the yield and price being the
same, the product will be 2,000,-
000 barrels worth $6,000,000.
This is not the only progress at
tached to rice culture, for It has
demonstrated the value and prac
ticability of irrigation in the pro-
duction of crops in Texas. This
will attract attention, and vast re-
sults will follow.
Since 1898 the phenomenal oil
developments have attracted the
attention of the civilized world,
and no man can tell what the final
result will be.
In 1897 tbe total receipts of the
insurance department were $78,-
391.16, and the disbursements were
$9,664 47, leaving a net revenue of
$68,726.69; while in 1902 the gross
income was $165,857.98 and tbe
disbursements amounted to $to,-
410.12, leaving a net income of
$>55-447 86— a gain of $86,721.17,
or 120 per cent in five years.
In 1898 the rate of taxation was
20 cents on tbe_ $100. It was
changed to t6^i cents in 1900,
and so it remains.
In 1898 there were 6,308,254
bead of cattie rendered for taxation
valued at $62,649,994; • while in
1902 tbe rendition is estimated at
7 500,000, valued at $85,000,000.

"While tbe people may be more
or less interested in Cuban reci-
procity and the amending of tbe
constitution to permit federal su-
pervision of the trusts," said a
prominent democrat yesterday,
"the question which vitally con
corns them is, ‘What is going to
be done in regard to the coal
strik ?* Cuba is a far way off but
tbe winter is almost here and we
have no coal in our cellars and
there is no prospect of getting any
without paying a sfnall fortune for
it. It is already predicted, that an
immediate ending ot the strike
would not be followed by reason
able prices for coal before the first
of January and if that proves true
what is to become of the much
wanted prosperity? The people
will have to curtail on all expendi-
tures in order to keep their houses
comfortable. When the large ma-
jority of the people are forced, from
any reason, to economise, it means
hard times; and, unJess I am very
much mistaken, the hard times
will be felt before the elections aud
with disasterous effect ou republi-
can success. I do not know the
remedy for the present situation in
Pennsylvania, but I do know that
all republican legislation makes for
the rich and at the expense of the
poor. It serves to concentrate the
wealth of the country in the hands
of the few and the people will be
brought to realize that fact and
will vote the democratic ticket.’’
pr
| Washington News Letter.
The report that Speaker Hender-
son has decided not to run for the
Fifty-eighth congress proved as
great a surprise to tbe democratic
leaders as it did to tbe republicans
and numerous theories were offered
in explanation. That it is a most
tangible evidence that there is fric-
tion id republican circles is admit-
ted by all. Tbe Iowa republicans everything and buy nothing. Tbe
are badly split, tbe DoiRver-Cum-
mings- Roberts faction favoring tar-
iff revision, as opposed to tbe Alli-
son Henderson-Shaw-Wilson com
bination which opposes the slight-
est change in the duties which
have proven ol such great service corporate gre^d, this is all forgot-
to tbe trusts. That the former fac-
tion represents the majority of Iowa
republicans, was proven by the
tariff plank adopted at the recent
state convention. Prom these facts,
certain democrats draw the conclu
sion that Speaker Henderson fore-
saw defeat in bis efforts for re-elec-
tion, particular^ as he was likely
to be opposed by so strong a candi-
date as ex-Governor Boies, and he
took time by the forelock and de-
cline! to run. At all events, it
must be conceded that he has “re-
tired under fire," and a tnott
searching fire.
Another and more ingenious the-
ory which is advanced iu Wash
ington is that Senator Allison im-
mediately telegraphed Speaker
Henderson from Oyster Bay to the
effect that the president had agreed
to suppress his tariff reform views
out of respect to the Wall street
interests and that the speaker then
declined the nomination on the
ground that he was not in sympa-
ihy with the tariff revision plank
of tbe state convention, in order
that the republicans pf his district
might renominate him and thus,
at least to a certaiqextent, repu-
diate the plank referred to, and at
tbe same time deliver a blow to
the aspirations of the Dolliver-
Cummings-Roberts faction. Gen.
Henderson is known to be a very
shrewd politician, however, and it
is quite possible that he sees farth-
er into the future than do the ma-
jority, and that be taken this op-
portunity to retire aud devote him
self to bis law practice which will
prove more remunerative than it
would if he waited to be defeated
The latest rumor current in
Washington is to the effect that

Dallas, Tex., Sept. 24.—The
men of Dallas held a meeting on
last Friday evening and practically
completed all arrangements for the

here for that occasion. The Gov-
ernor will go from Dallas to St.
Louis with the Texas World’s
Fair Commission to participate in
the ceremonies connected with ded-
ication of State and Territorial
building sites.

These figures do not show a very
rapid increase of population, but
they exhibit a constant, steady
and healthy increase; and it will
be noted that, while there was a
considerable increase of negro pop-
ulation, at tbe end of each decade
tbe white population bad increased
to considerably more than the
whole of the last census.
When compared to the increase
of tbe entire country as a whole,
and especially at the last decade,
tbe showing is very satisfactory.
Tbe increase from 1890 to 1900
of the entire country was 20.7 per
cent, while that of Texas was 36.4
per cent. The population of Tex-
as in 1900 was it.6 to the square
mile, while tbe average population
of tbe other fifteen Southern States
was 48.8. This will give an idea
of how much elbow room we have
in Texas for otber people, and still
not be much crowded.
It is population and capital that
increases value and make business
profitable; and Texai has tbe room
for the population, end safe and
profitable investments for capital,
and her people will welcome both
with pleaaure.
Many people have a very vague
idea of Texas; some think it is the

The protective tariff i» tbe es-
pecial holtby of the republican par-
ty. The theory is that a protective
tariff ia neceasary to protect the
manufacturing Induatries of Amer-
ica. Yet it is a fact known to all
men who care to investigate, ad-
mitted by republican leaders and
never denied that the American
manufacturers are selling the pro-
ducts of their factories cheaper in
foreign markets than in the United
States. It may be interesting to
our readers to know the difference
in the prices paid by people in for-
eign countries and the people of
the United States for the same arti-
cles manufactured by the same peo-
ple. Here are just a few things:
Cultivators that sell in the United
States for $11 sell in foreign coun-
tries for $8.40; plows, selling here
at $14, are sold in foreign countries
at $12.60; axes sell here at $8.25
|ier dozen and are sold across the
water at $7.20 per dozen; wire nails
< cost us $2.25 per hundred pounds
while our friends in foreign land
buy the same nails from the same
factory at $1.35‘bat bed wire is sold
here at $3 per hundred pounds and
for $2 in the foreign countries; the
American house wife pays$27.5ofor
the same sewing machine which
the ladies of Germany, France, Eng-
land and South America buy for
$20.75. These are but a few sam-
ples.
It must lie understood -that those
things afc manufactured in the Uni-
ted States and shipped to the for-
eign-markets and sold there at the
{trices quoted.
The question arises, how is this
done ? No sane man believes that
any manufacturer will sell his wares
Itelow the price of production. That
even the most unsophisticated will
not believe. It simply means that
the American manufacturer can
produce goods just as cheap as the
European manufacturer. The con-
tention of the advocates of the pro-
tective tariff is that it protects the
home manufacturer* from the for-
eign manufacturers who, it is al-
leged, employ cheap labor. Be that
as it may, the fact remains that the
American manufacturer does pro-
duce his goods cheap enough to sell
them as cheap as the foreign manu-
