BRENHAM DAILY BANNER
J. O. rankin. Proprietor.
Wednesday Morning, Aug. 8.
Thk state treasury .deficit ie now
something more than $400,000.
Ths Democratic cry at Saratoga
seems to be in favor of less heat and
more hugs and harmony.
The Democracy of Tennessee
elected their entire state ticket by
a handsome majority.
A Bcsisiss man too stingy to ad-
vertise cannot be expected to bo
any ways liberal in dealings his with
customers.
Yob can save money by consulting
the advertising columns of the Bas-
sir before making your purchases.
Try it and be convinced.
The silver question is goiug to
loom up immensely in the Derao-
cratic State convention, and will not
down at the mere bidding of the
gold-bug advocates.
Senator Gorman has been severe-
ly denounced by the democracy of
hia home county in Maryland, in
mass meeting assembled, for his un>
just and bull dozing stand on the
tariff question.
--«>» ......
Freedom and order are icterde
pendent—the one increasing with
the other. Nothing is more certain
than that both will continue to in-
crease in America. Those who
Tould check them should be crushed
out.
The Houston Post claims that
Governor Hogg's San Antonio
speech was an effort in vain. As
fast sb the people get together in
conventions they indorse the presi
dent's action in suppressing the
Chicago rioters.
The Galveston Tribune says: "The
interest of many cotton farmers in
Texas demand a material reduction
in the IIouston^Galveston differen-
tial, bo that the crop of the State
may get to the gulf without being
taxed to protect Houston's cotton
business."
the soutm's prospciiitv.
Gov. R. B. Hubbard in his splen-
did speech at the Smith county fair,
held at Tyler last month, psid the
following handsome tribute to the
South, her industries and prospects:
"The total assetts of Southern
farm interests increased from
# 2,314,000,000 in 1880 to $3,18*2,-
000 in 1890. a gain of #8G8,000,000,
against a gain in the remainder of
the country of $3,000,000,000. In
1890 the South had total farm as-
setts of $3,182,000,000, against
$12,897,000,000 for all other states.
With less than one-fourth as much
invested in agriculture as other sec
tions, the value of its farm products
was $773,000,000 against fl,fi87,-
000 for other sections. The total
value of farm products of the en-
tire country was $248,000,000_y*ore
in 1890 than in 1880, and cX* this
increase the South had nearly one-
half, or $107,000,000. With • total
investment in farms of $3,182,<XK),-
000 in 1890, the total value of the
Souths agricultural products was
$773,000,000, or a gross revenue of
24.1 percent on the capital, while
the combined capital invested in
agriculture in other sections was
$12,797,000,000, with a product of
1 1,1)87,000,000, or 13.1 per cent, or
only a fraction more than one-half
as much as the South's. In other
words, for the capital invested,
Southern farmers received nearly $2
for every dollar received by the
farmers of other sections. This is
simply a confirmation of the state-
ments that have repeatedly been
made—that properly cultivated
Southern soil will yield larger re*
turns than that of any other section
in proportion to the cost. The
Western farmer, who has beeu
accustomed to paying high prices
for his land, can go south and
secure at ridiculously low prices,
laud that needs but to be carefully
tilled to yield abundant harvests.
The fruit crop of the South in*
creased from 1880 to 1890 twenty
million dollars."
Xi?e sense of order in the people
is the sure guarantee of the sufety
of society and of free institutions.
Only those whose conscience makes
them cowards have any reason to
fear the American people or any
disposition to deny their capacity
for self-government.
The people are slowly awakening
to the magnitude of the task the
democratic part} has undertaken to
free them from the grasp of the
trusts, and a halt cannot be called
until the task has been accomplish-
ed. To succeed we must roiuain
true to our platform and our colors.
« ■
The Houston Post says: "Pre
dictions as to a bolt in the coming
state convention are without sub-
stantial foundation. No matter
bow anxious a few disappointed
politicians may be to create discord
the Democrats will rally together
and sweep away the contending
factions and their pretensions."
The Taylor Sentinel says: "An
effort is being made by the friends
of both parties to have the Hon.
Joseph D. Sayers make his opening
campaign speech at Taylor, at which
time it is expccted that his opponent
Major W. O Hutchison, will meet
him in joint debate. If this ar-
rangement is made a large crowd
will be attracted to Taylor on the
date of the speaking."

Tramps have been entirely ban-
ished from the city of Baltimore.
The recipe was simply to open up
the "Friendly Inn," and applying
the following: Wood-sawing and
wood splitting was offered as the
only means of payment for meals
and lodging. Certain compulsory
features, such as a hot bath every
evening under the supervision of an
attendant, with a liberal uso of
carabolic soap, and nightly disinfec-
tion of wearing apparel were
regularly exacted.
Tbk Bastrop Advertiser saye:
"Major Sayers is in Washington at-
tending to bis duties, and he will be
there as long as he has any duties to
attend to. He can not meet the
populist nominee until congress ad-
journs. Bat that is all right. Alaj.
Hutchison is wise to do his speak-
ing in the absence of tbe democratic
nominee. That he will get rheuma-
tism about the time congress ad-
journs, as be had once before when
be bad just left the democratic
raaka and run as a republican nomi-
nee for cOBgrece, we confidently ex-
pect Jb tbe meantime we do hope
our ex-democratic, ex republican,
popoJiat friend will announce when

pMpa*
A CHAPTER ON POPULISTISM.
Under the abovo caption tho Cor*
pus Christi Caller "goes for" the
Pops in the following style:
"The Populists, while pretending
to love law and order, denounce
Grover Cleveland for seeing that the
laws aro enforced. Denouncing in
unmeasured terms tho national bank-
ing system, they support for con-
gress (over irj the Austin district) a
gentleman who owns the greater
portion of the stock in a national
bank. Professing to be a party of
principles, they select as leaders
disappointed office-seekers from the
two old partios. Promising every-
thing, thpy coine into power only to
ruin by mismanagement and misrule,
as Kansas and Colorado will attest.
Without the ability to financier five
dollars into their own pockets, they
presume to direct the finances of a
great nation and billions of dollars
are to them as leaves upon a tree.
Advocating the wildest theories,
they demand everything and offer
nothing in return. Ever preaching
consistency, they practice the reverse
and their inconsistencies crop out
in iheir every act and word. Al-
ways clamoring for money, they
make war on capitalists and the rich
man, unless he belongs to their
party, is to them an eye«sore and a
curso to humanity. Such is tho
Populist party—a party that is as
inconsistent as it is wild in theory
and whose policies are dangerous
and a menace to good government."
Thehk is evidently no exaggera-
tion in the rumors of the appalling
death rate from tbe plague in China.
Sir William Robinson, governor of
Hong Kong, in his official report,
places the number of deaths in the
Canton District alone at 120,000.
Businoss in Canton is entirely sus-<
pended. Tbe Chinese have attempt-
ted to frighten the God of Pestil-
ence by exploding firecrackers and
pounding gongs, but their efforts
have not proved a success. Latest
dispatches indicate that the pestil-
ence has not abated in virulence.
The Houston Post gets at a truth
in the following way: "No reputable
paper in the United States is mak*
ing war upon the intelligent and
law abiding foreigners who come
here to make this country their
homes. They are all right and are
heartily welcomed to American
shores. It is the ignorant, tbe de-
graded, the vile oflacourings of
European countries that cause tbe
press to call for more effective re-
striction of immigration."
Says tbe Philadelphia Manufac
turer: "Europe has got its food
from us cheaply the last year—
thanks, no doubt, to the gold valua-
tion of silver; in other words, tbe
appreciation of gold. The prelim:*
nary official report of the United
States bureau of statistics states
that our total exports of wheat for
twelve months ending June 30th,
were 87,968,280 bushels, valcad at
$59,124,287, compared with 117,-
104,085 bushels, valued at $93,421,-
885, in the previous year."

That it \vi|ll n"t <1<> to put .-ill of one's
eggb in one >asket has 1m-ou thoroughly
demonstrated by the Ixjrry crop thin sea-
son. Willi thousands of crates ripe tho
ability to rem it a market is without any
fault of ours sniUh nly taken away. The
strawberry crop lias Ikcii the principal
one of this section, and while it will not
only hold its present yield, but will
double und treble it, it will in a year or
two Income of secondary importance.
Prunes, peaches, cherries and small
fruits generally are a necessity to the
fruitgrower because they furnish him
with money early in the season as well
as early in his business. They are a
means to an end, lurnishing money to
support, the family and to improve the
farms. They all bear one fatal objection
as a crop to bo relied upon, and that is
the absolute necessity of finding a mar-
ket for them as soon as they are ripe.
This luay not be true of the prune, but
for it the same condition exists—it must
be taken care of at once when ripe.
Tho fruit of Hood River, tho one that
is to inako her famous as well as pros-
perous, is tho winter apple. That can
be kept. It can bo gathered leisurely,
onee in bearing, bring better and stead-
ier returns and at tho very least outlay.
John Sweeny's orchard last year, its
first year of bearing, produced moro net
money than would or could have been
derived from the same area of land
sown to wheat in 11(1 years. This year it
should yield 50 times as much, next
year 70 times as ranch, and then for 20
years 100 times as much. In other
words, ono acre of winter apples is
worth more, year in and year out, than
100 acres of wheat. Six acres of good
orchard will yield a larger not yield
than a section of wheat land. Multiply
tho acres in Hood River valley by 100
and some idea of tho wealth that it will
eventually produce may bo gained.
In other words, every (section in fruit
will produce a cash value equal to three
townships of wheat. The winter apple
is going to accomplish this result, and
the next few years as the young or
chard* come into bearing will prove tho
truth of this assertion, though it now
seems a wild one. We can but reiterate
our former words: "Plant apple trees.
Twenty acres if you can; ono tree if that
is your limit, but plant at every oppor-
tunity. " When this valley is an orchard
from the mills to tho summit east of us
and from the river back for 20 miles,
then only will it havo attained its full
development.—Hood River (Or.) Ola
