The sub-treasury idea seems to
be losing ground among the
brethren.
It is already a settled fact that
Governor Hogg is candidate for
re-election.
All the indications are that there
will be a lively scramble in gu
bernatorial circles from now until
the state convention.

the Dakotas, in the Indian Terri
tory and in Western Kansas and
Nebraska. Every part of the
country that lies between the
Rocky mountains and the Alle-
ghanies is, or should be, greatly
interested in destroying the aridi-
ty of the country mentioned above
and restoring it to its ancient fer-
tility, for the aridity of that coun-
try is the cause of nine-tenths of
the drouths that damage the states
lying in the great central valleys.”
“The West.”
m speaking of the power of
the West, the New York World
says: “ The rule of the majority,
which is the supreme law of Amer-
ican politics, was illustrated again
in the selection of Chicago for the
National Democratic Convention.
The first ballot showed clearly
that all questions of fitness, com-
fort and convenience were subor-
dinate, as they were likewise in
the Republican National Com-
mittee, to the determining circum-
stance that the convention had
to ‘go West.’ There might be a
choice between Western cities,
but there was no question of
choosing any Eastern city.
“ This is a significant fact and
one well worth considering. When
‘ the West ’ is spoken of it means
the geograpical area between the
Alleghanies and the Rocky Moun-
tains. This area contains the
preponderance of population and
of political power.
“It controls the actions of Con-
gress as well as of National Com
mitteee. May it not determine
also the decisions of National
Conventions f ... -

gent understanding of the Nation-
al political situation who does not
understand the political sentiment
of‘the West.’”
platform should declare upon the
financial question, very much de-
pends upon the action of this
congress. I believe it is possible,
notwithstanding the political com-
plexion of the Federal legislature,
to effect some wholesome reform
in monetary conditions. Unless
this shall be done, I am earnestly
in favor of submitting the issue to
the people through the agency of
a well-formulated announcement i
of purpose by the next national
Democratic convention, and I do
not perceive how such a course
can be honestly avoided. Demo-
crats, and I believe a majority of
them, throughout the Union have
denounced the financial legisla-
tion which has deformed our stat-
ute books in recent years. They
have educated the people to be-
lieve that it has been evil and
evil continuously. District and
state conventions of organized
Democracy have proclaimed in
favor of its correction. Candi-
dates for congress and members
of congress have made covenants
with the people on this line—in-
dustrial depression and seething
popular discontent have followed
in its wake, and now the time has
come when promises ought to be
redeemed, and performance should
be vigorously prosecuted, without

J. W. Bailey.
The press dispatches state that
Mr. Bailey of Texas made the
speech of the day last Friday.
The discussion was over the rules,
aud Mr. Bailey rose to oppose a
rule which provides that during
or pending the consideration of a
report of the committee on rules,
the speaker shall entertain no dil-
atory motion except a single
motion to adjourn. He took the
broad : ground that such a rule
constituted a majority of the com
inittee a legislative triumvirate
and declared he was forever
against seeing 332 representatives
lay down their commission at the
long drouths of the west than any-
thing else.
The convention pf stock raisers
is in session at Austin, and is re-
ported as being one of the largest
aud most important meetings held
by the stock raisers of Texas for
several years. The stock interests
they represented was valued at
- $150,000,000.
It seems that Governor Hogg’s
enemies struck the wrong note in
circulating the report that the
reason he appointed Senator Chil-
ton he was “ not tainted with a
Confederate record.” A Hillsboro
editor who has examined into
the charge has found it unirne.
The Louisiana lottery has re-
ceived its death blow through the
decision of the supreme court of
the United States. It unanimous-
ly upheld the constitutionality of
the anti-lottery postal law and re-
fused writs of habeas corpus.
The decision is certainly a great
victory tor the anti-lottery people
and will create a profound sensa-
tion among the lottery followers
• of Louisiana and elsewhere.
Foster, the weather proguosti
cator, says of the improvement of
the climate of the Western states
aud territories: “ There has been
an improvement in the climates
of Kansas aud Nebraska in their
eastern portions, because the
prairie fires have been kept out
and trees have been permitted to
grow. Millions of trees have
been cultivated in the eastern
parts of Kansas and Nebraska and
now there are millions of trees
re, large and small, where there

ago, and these trees have improv-

mentioned as they have done in

past. The same means will im-

FARMERS’ ATTENTION
Is kindly invited for a few moments. Does it pay you to buy an
inferior article of any kind, and especially an agricultural
implement, even if it does cost a little less! No it don’t, and
you know it. You should always buy the best and then take care
of it. Now we have gone to the expense of buying a big supply of
plows, cxiltivators, harrows, corn and cotton planters and
all kinds of steel shapes, the very best made. ,We have bought
them for your benefit as well as ours. Come in and purchase what

There has been nothing done
by congress to remonetize silver.
The act of July 14, 1890, provided
merely for the purchase of so
much silver monthly by the treas-

S. W. T. Lanham Talks of the
Financial Question.
Fort Worth Gazette Special.
Washington, Jan. 30__Con-
gressman Lanham said to a Ga-
zette man: You ask ior an ex-
pression of my views as to the
“ proper treatment of the financial
question by the Democratic party
in the coming campaign ” for pub-
lication in the Gazette.
In reply 1 would say that in my
jndgmeut tbe questions of tariff
reform and remedial financial leg-
islation are so correlated in sound
economy that neither can be ig-
nored by the Democratic party.
They travel the same road, with
the common destination of nation-
al prosperity in view. Taxation,
under existing law is too rigorous,
too burdensome and mal-adjusted.
The money supply is too restrict-
ed and too much subjected to ar-
tificial regulation. Even if the
tariff be reduced, the volume of
safe, ew*stit«tional currency must
be enlarged.

were made redeemable in coin, as
formerly, we would have the bi-
metallic basis, which would mean
an enlarged basis for the issue of
notes. Neither the government
nor the people would be so sub-
| jeet. to financial squeezes as with
a gold basis.
If gold were demonetized, as
well as silver, aud diamonds made
the basis of note issue aud re-
demption, the volume of circulat-
ing medium would be proportion-
ately contracted, the danger of
financial pressure or squeezes
proportionately greater, and the
value of every other commodity
would be lessened. Silver coin-
age would not only increase the
volume of change to the extent
of its coinage but, giving a bi-
metallic standard,^would enlarge
the basis of note and bond issue
by enlarging the capacity of re-
demption. The notes and bonds
of this government are now re-
deemable in gold, instead of in
coin, as formerly when we had a
bi-metallic standard. Of course
they are not redeemable in gold
on hand but in gold that could be
obtained by the government with-
in a reasonable time.
The circulation has been con-
tracted by reason of the single
gold standard, and silver coinage,
or a bi-metallic basis would en-
large the volume of change and
the basis of note issue and there-
by stimulate all trade. The great-
est benefit would not be in the
number of silver dollars put in
circulation, but in the enlargement
of the basis of note issue and re-
demption.
The only man who has reasona-
ble cause for opposition to free
silver coinage is the man who has
hoarded gold to make it command
a high price on the day of settle-
ment. The fact that gold is the
standard and that it is coined in
large pieces has a tendency to
encourage men aud combinations
to hoard it more than they do sil-
ver, coined, as it is, in small de-
nominations, aud for this reason
silver has ever been called the
money of the people.
The silver miners’ profit from
free coinage would not in a series
care of themselves. Doing thus,
we can safely trust the people.”

we come to practical politics,
there is more immediate prospect
of securing financial reform than
tariff reform. The Democrats
of the senate, aided by the silver
Republicans, can pass a free coin-
age bill aud if we elect a president
in 1892 can carry it into full effect
But we know that as the senate is
now constituted no measure of
tariff reform can be enacted, and
with a Democratic president in
1893 it is not certain that this con-
dition will be changed. To do this
it will be necessary to overcome a
Republican majority of eight in
the senate. If we do not become
panicstricken, if we openly pledge
our faith and manfully keep our
pledge to restore the quality to
which gold and silver is entitled
under the constitutiou, Democrat-
ic victory is almost certain.
Evasion of the silver question
will not make us 1000 votes. It
will be said that the Democratic
party is merely hiding its rea
principles—seeking to get votes
by subterfuge—endeavoring to
grasp power on the tariff issue
and then use that power to under-
mine our present financial system
and those persons who would vote
against our nominees on a silver
platform would vote against them
in spite of our expedients. For
every one we gain by such
artifice, we would lose 100 among
our own people. Many voters
who believe financial reform to be
pre-eminent in importance
would be driven into the third
party or the sulks, and like the
Greely diversion, and every other
stratagem which we have attempt-
ed, when election time came on
we would find that it had tumbled
upon our heads in a complete
failure. Horace Chiltqn.

If silver were remonetized and
the bi-metallic standard once more
established, the beneficial effects
would soon be apparent. The
monetary system of a nation is to
bo compared to tbe physical sys-
tem. If starved, it becomes tin
healthy, and if gormandized it
becomes unhealthy. The monetary
system is starved now, and there
is not enough silver in sight iu
the world to gormandize it, nor is
there likely to be.
Silver coinage is not a seuth
raeut, but would be a substantial
contribution to the necessities of
commerce and the monetary sys-
tem, It was not a sentiment prior
to demonetization, but a substam
tial basis of change, a hand maiden
of commerce aud labor. It was
not a sentiment with Mr. Jeffer-
son, who, after a study of the
finances of the world, with a mind
unequaled in the world, cautioned
us, as we would be a free aud
prosperous people, to hold fast to
silver. It was not a sentiment
with the Jews, whose general
prosperity was greatest iu the
days of silver coinage.
