REVISED TARIFF BILL
Laid Before the Ways and
Means Committee.
The Dallas News special cor-
respondent from Washington in-
dicates that the tariff bill is not
drifting on placid waters altogeth-
er. He says the changes made in
the tariff bill by the ways and
means committee have raised a
veritable storm. There has all
along been much dissatisfaction
among the Democrats as to the
bill. There can be no conceal-
ment of this fact. There were many
Democrats who complained that
the Wilson bill was in line with
the Democratic platform, which
denounced as unconstitutional
and undemocratic taxation except
for legitimate purposes of the
government. They construed the
platform to mean that protection

The report of tbe Immigration
Bureau for the fiscal year ending
June 30 indicates clearly that tbe
heavy inflow of aliens during the
past few years has been checked,
but the records of the last few
months give farther information
on the subject. Emigration from
the United States has steadily ex-
ceeded immigration into the Unit
ed States since tbe turning of the
tide was noted last Augu et, and
the exodas to Earope promites to
attain phenomenal proportions
before the end of the year. Ii
June tbe increase of emigration
to Europe amounted to 20 per
cent more than iu the same of
1891. Io July the iucrease was
about 12 per cent, in August ii
was 300 per cent and in Septem-
ber ?50 per cent. Germans and
Italians are largely in tbe major!
ity of those leaving for foreign
shores. The financial panic is
given as cause for the retreat from
this country.

In a lecture delivered recently
io St. Louis by Mr. W. L. She!
don'on the “ Problem of the Uij
employed,” he gave statistic*
collected by himself by persona*
correspondence with the larg<
firms of the city. He finds tha*
there are now 18,000 working
people put out of employment,
and he states that these figures
do uot include those employed in
service, in which de-
there has been a large
down of service. One ot
five qr estious propounded by
one illustration ; of the 3,000 men
reported as employed by several
of the brewers, the estimate* g»*e
, about 1,800 to 2,000 ’ as saving a
[part of-*beir wages-. "It is also
perhaps an interesting fact that
the heaviest percentage of those
who report “ none ” of their em-
ployes as Baving at all is among
the contractors. I also assume
that they are a kind of men who
know a great deal about their
employes. If their figures repre-
sent the total average on this
question among the working peo-
ple of St. Louis the conditions
would be discouraging. It is
true that some of their number
report quite a large number of
their employes as saving a part
of their wages. But the total av-
erage from the'r reports is rela-
tively very low.
Great Is Texas.
Hon. John E. Hollinswortli,
Commissioner of Agriculture, in
a report of what he believes Texas
is capable of producing under
favorable circumstances, says:
“It has been one of my main
efforts as Commissioner of Agri-
culture to collect in my depart-
ment an exhibit of the various
products of the state, together
with such information as would
be of use in exemplifying the ag-
ricultural and horticultural possi-
bilities of Texas. WhHe I readily
admit the great value of our un-
developed resources and the im-
portance of establishing factories,
yet at the same time I am forced
to the conclusion that the wealth
of Texas consists in its incompar-
ble agricultural and horticultural
possibilities, pursuits to which
our people are in all things adapt
ed and the soil, climate and season
lend every aid. I do not claim to
have completed my work so far as
to give in full these possibilities,
yet I think sufficient can be said
to aronse an interest at home and
to be exceedingly suggestive to
all persons investigating such
questions.
“In beginning, I will assert
that in no place does experiment-
ing with varieties and methods
produce more startling results
than in Texas:
“ The men in other states who
understand the value of intense
farming as applied to varieties
and methods are successful where
they are, and we need just that
kind. In France five acres is a
large farm. In California ten
acres is sufficient for auy family
In Massachusetts twelve acres in
cultivation is ample to base
good income, and Texas can sur-
p iss them ail by the same meth-
ods. Men in Texas are getting
rich on ten acres of land. These
facts are uot known to the general
public only "as a matter of vague
rumor, and in consequence many
are saving and striving to get
from February to August no tonly
send occasional car loads of v
etables and fruits, but snfficie1
people should engage in the busi-
ness to send a fast special train
over every leading railroad in the
Btate every day in the whole time
to the great West and the North-
west. Near the small towns along
the roads men could buy ten acres
of land for a few hundred dollars
and get more out of it than they
do now out of 200 acres. The
women and children will be given
ample work in packing and box-
ing fruit and other products, and
at increased wages. Bee culture,
which goes hand in hand with
fruit growing can be then made
an important industry, and dairy-
ing in Texas will be carried on to
large and profitable business.
Williamson county in 1892, from
2011 stands of bees secured 100,-
264 pounds of honey, valued at
$8,641.00.
“ In the old states, when they
can raise eighteen tons of fodder
per acre, each cow pays $90 in
the creamery. We can raire over
sixty tons in Texas, and should
control the creamery business of
this country.
“I have endeavored to set out a
few of the possibilities of Texas
from generalities, and as direct
and certain as I could make them.
Should my department ever be
supplied with funds to collect a
complete list of Texas possibili-
ties, based on methods that have
been successfully applied in this
state, and varieties that do best
and show the most profitable re-
sults, and then through the prop-
er and most approved channel
present these facts to the people
of our own state, I have no hesi-
tancy in saying that the state of
Texas will awake to an impor-
tance in the markets little dream-
ed of today, and the annual prod-
uct of fruits and vegetables will
equal, if not exceed in value, our
wonderful cotton crop at the
present time.”

A “ Trust ” Which Is Popular.
There is a great deal of indig-
nation felt against trusts the sugar
trust, the Standard Oil trust, the
Welsh Tin Plate trust, the English
Salt trust, and other combinations
of the kind, are vigorously de-
nounced, and it is a subject of
controversy whether there are
more trusts in England than
America, aud whether protection
or free trade fosters them. But
there is one form of trust against
which no one lias anything to say.
That is the tiust the public re-
poses in Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

denounced. They stood on the
principle that there should be no
free list, and that every article
imported should pay a small tariff
to raise revenues. By their ar-
gument when one article was
placed on the free list and a tariff
was put on another article, this
tariff was a protection on the ar-
ticle on which it was placed.
Another element of the party ; at
heart protectionists, complained
that the articles in which their
localities were interested were
protected, and thus the Demo-
cratic members have gone about
mumbling and complaing private-
ly, but afraid toJ>a bold and open
plaints.
er the changes in the
bill, which are really of not any
great importance, were greater,
would make no difference. The
changes have only afforded op-
portunities for open expressions
of dissatisfaction, the same dis-
satisfaction having existed all the
time. The ways and means com-
mittee is aware of this dissatis-
faction. Its argument, and it is a
sound one, is that the policy of
the government for thirty years
can’t be Bet aside in a day and
while the bill is far from perfect
it is a great improvement on the
present law, as must be admitted
by all, and that the beginning of
the destruction of the protective
idea has commenced. It appeals
to the Democrats to put aside in-
dividual desires and personal in-
terests and take the measure as a
whole and as the very best that
can be done. It appreciates the
dissatisfaction and is fearful that
if it is allowed to have vent in a
caucus the bill will be ruined.
The most of the members are old
and skilled politicians and they
understand their brethren well
enough to know that there is many
a one of them who would attack
the bill under the cover of a cau-
cus who would not dare to do so
in an open session of congress
with the newspaper correspond-
ents sitting in the gallery. Bnt
there is a trouble confronting
them. The Republicans will
stand solidly against it. Now if
a faction of the Democrats mar-
shal any strength against any ar-
ticles in the bill, then with the aid
of the Republicans they could
win. And, yet, if such a faction
were overcome there, then the
chances would be that they would
abandon their fight on the out-
side. Another strong argument,
even with the ways and means
committee in favor of a caucus, is
that there are many men who
would gladly be whipped into the
line by a caucus that they might
offer the action of a Democratic
caucus to their constituencies,
wanting protection on some arti-
cle as their reason for voting
against the desires of such con-
stituencies. Take the West Vir-
ginia congressmen for instance.
Several of the districts want a
duty on coal. The same may be
said of several districts in Ala-
bama which want a duty on iron.
The representatives are Demo-
crats, who do not at heart agree
with their constituencies, per-
haps. If a Democratic caucus
decides against such duties these
representatives can say that, as
Democrats they had to bide the
action of such a caucus. Yester-
day the chances against a cancus
were not at all bright, but today
they are better. Congressman
Wheeler of Alabama started out
today with a petition asking for a

As to the internal revenue, the

What the Press is Saying.
Houston Post: Immigrants are
coming to Texas by the scores,
mainly from Georgia, Tennessee
and Alabama, and they are of the
most desirable kind. Many, if
not most of them, will at once
become free holders and assist in
developing the agricultural capa-
bilities of the country.

that their party is still alive. The
advent of cold weather aids them

New York Post: Gen. Clarkson
chairman of the National Republic
executive committee said to me
yesterday: “ It is a mere waste of
time to speculate about who may
be nominated in 1896. Personally
I believe if the Republicans con-
vention should be held today Mc-
Kinley would be nominated by ac-
clamation, but everything may be

Tariff Reform.
Houston Post: Secretary Mor-
ton is interesting himself in the
matter of the improvement of
public highways iu a manner that
may be productive of much good.
The establishmentW an inquiry
department in connection with
the agricultural department must
certainly be the means of collect-
ing a great deal of valuable infor-
mation and it is possible that
some legislation may finally be
brought about that will secure
better roads throughout the coun-
try than have been known before.
The department proposes to learn
something of the road laws which
have recently been adopted in
various states where they have
been tested and the results will
be given to the public along with
such suggestions for amendment
as may seem proper. Having
made a start in the direction of
public road improvement ad-
vancement will be easy and nat
ural. The trouble heretofore has
been that the matter has been
passed over too lightly, that peo-
ple have been content to let
things rock along in the same old
way without making any system
atic effort for a decided improve-
ment.. Some of these days an
issue of this sort may have as
much attention as peanut politics
in a campaign before the people.
It is certainly a question in which
the public is vitally interested.
