had to do with outgoing freight rates
west over the Southern Pacific and
collateral rates over the Santa Fe in
the weal. The matter of the threaten-
ed increase of incoming rates was prac-
tically dismissed by the meeting as
too monstrous to contemplate but it
is certain that the roads will have a
hard row to hoe before they succeed
in raising incoming rates very much.
As to the outgoing rates west the sit-
uation resolves itself into a plain bus-
iness proposition.
1. Our business men are assured
(by Mr. Shepardl that the Southern
Pacific will iiot lower the outgoing
jobbers" rates until is obliged to.
2. There are two ways by which
the Southern Pacific might be forced
to lower the tates westward. One is
by means of boycott to speak plainly:
that it. throwing all the incoming
freight into the hands of another line
or lines and thus starving the
Southern Pacific into making conces-
sions. The yher is to encourage the
building of a competing line to the
west.
The boycott was well characterized

the power might not have to be used.
If the proposed freight bureau had the
authority to go to the freight men of
the Southern Pacific and show them
that all the incoming freight could be

it might be tiiat the aforesaid freight
men might not care to take the
chances. Anil again they might hit

son to be glad of their contributions to
the campaign. Bryan ites have been
loud to Interpret Harrison's silence as
against McKinleyism. but in a very
thoughtful cool clear statement points
out the strength of republicanism. He
does not aKree to the Porto Rico meas-

of republicanism and he asserts the
dignity strength and honor of re-
publicanism as upheld by McKinley
and his cabinet. Cleveland contribut-
ed but five lines to the campaign. In
these he said that he saw no reason
to change his opinions from those of
a public letter written by him four
years ago. The letter referred to was a
strong argument against free silver.

It is a source of gratification to all
El Pasoans who believe in the cham-
ber of commerce and its possibilities
for great good that tbe meeting last
night postively refused to allow the
old question of a separate organ iza
tion of shippers to be reopened. That
question was all thrashed over a year
ago and the uecision then reached
was and is by far tbe wisest.
The chamber of commerce is an or
ganization broad enough and virile
enough to include every existing or
ganization and every one that may
hereafter be formed for the advance
ment of the city along any line. The
transportation committee is a strong
one. and was selected for just such
work as it is now called upon to do.
Nothing would be gained by segre-

By that it is not meant that all who
were present at the conference are di
rect shippers of merchandise or manu
factured goods. But it is evident to
any who care to look into the question
at all that the interests of the ship-
What we need in this town is not
more separation but more getting to-
gether. It is easy to get up a little
club for this purpose and another little
club for that but the hard thing and
consequently the one most to be de-

pers are of more vital interest to all difrerent elements in the community
the people of the city than the welfare to DU olreher. rordie th lu.i
of any other particular class of the
community.
It is no doubt unfortunate in some
respects but it is none the less true
that this city depends at present on
the jobbing trade more than anything
else for its prosperity. There is prac-
tically no manufacturing here and it
is the men that buy to sell again thai
keep business moving. As a plain bus-
iness proposition it is desirable that
every man should stand in with the
shippers for by so doing the surest
way of advertising El Paso ami ex-
tending her influence is adopted.
Every city is the metropolis of its
trade territory no more. Ixindon is
great betame the world trades there.
New Yotk is the trade center of the
rnew world. Chicago controls the
trade of the transmissippi region. El
Paso is now and will ever be. if our
people stand together' in the work to-
ward that end. the trade center of
the great southwest. But the great
southwest is growing and we must be
careful that some other city does not
take the trade away from us. We have
not yet all the trade by any means
and there Is a great deal of work to be
done before EI Paso controls the trade
of Arizona and New Mexico.
Practically all of the dissatisfaction
expressed at the meeting last night
good of the whole people.
In union there-is strength and it is
the duty of every loyal El Pasoan to
stand by the chamber of commerce as
the only commercial body that has
ever been a success in this city and
as a movement that uromises to le
permanent and increasingly successful
and useful.
WHY
NEW YORK MEN SHOULD
MOVE TO EL PASO.
Because the climate's better. Our
ventilation is unsurpassed and the dry
air creates an "east of Suez" thirst.
for which various gentlemen in El
Paso can create symphonies in fluids.
Because it's better to come early and
keep lKth lungs.
Because of the picturesqueness of life
here. Our visitors can sit on the ve-
randas and flirt with Cibson girls
while they watch Remington men go
y.
Because we haven't an extradition
treaty with Dick Croker.
Because we all talk English here
or think we do.
Because our street car men haven't
the "step lively" habit and our hay-
motor cars are safe and conservative.
The country can calm down now
that both the ex-presidents have biok-
recent flop and Henry Star-Eyed-God-dess-of-Reform

but is willing to gulp it for his sake;
thinks McKinley is amiable and well
meaning but weak and guided too
much by the advice of casual strang-
ers; and is quite sure McKinley is
planning to drive a spurred heel
through the wreck of the constitution
into the asphalt underneath and spin
the L'nlted States capitol topside down
on one finger.
One minor matter the Bryanocracy
finds it convenient not to mention in
its proposals to tinker with the cur-
rency for the "benefit of the working
man." is that there is a class of people
the nominee of a combination which
had taken your party name to gild
principles unknown to democracy. You
stood steadfastly by the financial views
and political philosophy of Jefferson
Jackson. Tilden and Cleveland. In
your national convention at Indianap-
olis you declared that you had "as-
sembled to uphold the principles upon
which depend the honor and welfare
of the American people in order that
the democrats throughout the union
may unite their patriotic efforts to
avert disaster from their country and
run from their party."
That convention said that "the dem-
ocratic party has survived many de-
feats but could not survive victory
won in behalf of the doctrine and poli-
cy proclaimed in its name at Chica-
go." You went firmly to your duty and
did it well in the hope that there would
be no further attempt to use your
party name as a mask to the abhor-
rent principles advocated by Mr. Bry-
an. In his defeat his misled support-
ers were admonished and chastened

When Bryan was first nominated in
189 there was $21.13 of actual money
in circulation per capita one-third be-
ing gold and gold certificates. There
is now $26.78 per capita two-tilths
gold and the rest just as good. And
better is an increase of $3.63 good mon

Grover Cleveland's refusal to flop
must give some of the somersaulting
democrats cold chills if they think of
a day when Bryanism shall be no more
and straight democracy shall free her-
self from socialism. There will be
more somersaults needed in the future
for those democrats who have begun.

Is there any old-line democrat in
this campaign? If so won't he please
stand up and be counted?
Bryan's most convincing and most
pplauded argument is. "You're an

The Kansas City convention was
averse to reaffirmation of the Chicago
platform and a majority of its dele-
gates honestly hoped to purge the
party of the vicious heresies which
had lost it the respect and confidence
of the country. But through the pow-
er of his organization and by reason
of the hope of success born in his
nomination by the populists. Mr. Bry-
an prevailed against the better sense
of the convention compelled indorse-
ment of the false doctrines of 189t
and by the' votes of Alaska and Ha-
waii forced the specific restatement of
his dangerous and destructive finan-
cial theory. He stands now. therefore

cepting the populist nomination has
added thereto his declaration in favor
of an unlimited issue of greenback
currency.
He is pledged by his own declara-
tions to destroy the gold standard to
effect the free coinage of silver at the
artificial ratio of 16 to 1. to the ex-
pulsion of both gold and silver from
the country by a resumption of green-
backs to the destruction of judicial
independence and revolution in the ju-
dicial tenure to a system of direct
legislation which transfers law mak-
ing to the ballot box and destroys our
representative institutions and to a

This assault upon the three co-or
dinate branches of our government if
it succeeds will revolutionize and de-
stroy the whole system. What will
follow is already visible in his appeals
to class hatred envy and prejudice.

ty has promoted the purposes which
then justified its existence. We have
