CROUCH IN CIJ€RO
His Address Confined Strictly to Na-
tional Issues. .Logical Reasoning
Captain B. L. Crouch of Pearsall,
the republican nominee for congress
from this, the Eleventh district, ad-
dressed a fair-sized audience at
Turner hall Saturday night, and
while he did not make an exhibi-
tion of sky-scraping eloquence or
profoundly,subtile statesmanship,
his speech was, nevertheless, preg-
nant with practical suggestions and
was was a splendid array of logical
conclusions, viewed in a republican
light, from beginning to end, being
frequently punctuated by outbursts
of applause from both republicans
and democrats, the former, of
course, being more largely in at-
tendance.
Mr. William Westhoff, one ol
Cuero’s staunch citizens, and an
earnest advocate of the republican
faith, introduced the speaker in a
few well-selected words/ paying a
splendid tribute to his woith as a
man and citizen, and said that fee
had been assured by prominent re-
publicans in the district.- tnat tliL
party made a most grievous blun-
der. when at its nominating con-
vention in 1896 Judge Glass was
selected instead of Captain Crouch
to represent this district in the na-
tional eoqgress.
As a prelude to his address Cap-
tain Crouch assured his audience
that he could not promise an orator-
ical treat, but that he would state
plain facts, having followed the oc-
cupation of farming and stock-rais-
iug in this district for twenty years
which fact placed him in a position
to more intelligently observe jlje
especial needs of this partsictilar
section of the State and consequent-
ly he had formed opinions of his
own as to the kind of legislation
needed, not only for this immediate
section, but for the whole of this,
tie grandest cotnmon wealth in the
Union.
He then entered upon his ad-
dress proper, confining himseli
strictly to national issues and dwel-
ing chiefly on the finance and tariff
questions.
The result of* universal coinage,
he said, would result in one of tht
greatest commercial catastrophes
the world has ever known, in that
it would retire gold and bring all
paper currency to a level with sil-
As a oAof he referred to the
loretn import duty 637,000 head
j had been brought over in • three
years and ten months. The pro-
tective tariff policy, he said, had
placed the American manufacturers
of farm implements in a position
where they were able to supply
domestic demands at a cheaper fig-
-ure than any outside manufacturer
could afford, and that under the i
present import duty our manufac-
tured wares are finding ready sale j
in foreign markets, thus practically ;
driving the foreign competitor out!
of the field.
Referring to the seemingly help-
less condition of the cotton growers
of the country, the Judge declared
his umcompromising faith iu the
law of “supply and demand.”
stating that statistics would show
that since the 6o*s the increase in
population and production of cot-
ton was out of all reasonable pro-
portions, and that there now could
bj : »ut one alternative—that of re-
ducing the acreage, building up
new industries and seeking other
employments. He said that two-
t of Texas was a non-
tural section and that the
resources of the state offered splen-
did fields for the pursuit, of other
occupations besides that of raising
cdtton. The wool-growing and
sugar industries could be made, un-
der proper republican legislation,
to pay handsomely. He favored
the building of the Nicaragua c’anal
as an accommodation to our com-
merce and convenience to our navy
in times of war, but thought it
should be^constructed by the gov-
ernment and not by private corpora-
tions. He also favored an increase
in the number of the powerful

the late rebellion, which caused it
to be bought and sold as ordinary
commodities, greenbacks going
down as low as 37 cents, * thus
paralyzing the business of the coun-
try, producing millions of idle
men, and crippling their ability
to purchase even the bare necessi-
ties of life.
He alluded briefly to the indus-
tries of the country, emphasizing
his remarks with reference to the
improved condition of affairs under
the present administration as com-
pai ed tg the administration of Pres-
ident Cleveland, showing, from a
republican standpoint, that the
protective tariff was 9. question of
supreme importance to the Ameri-
can people, in that i^had increased
our foreign trade and built up do-
mestic industries, which, under
the democratic administration, had
suffered incalculable loss, opening
up shops that had been closed or
running on half time at reduced
wages .and small profits, if not
actual loss,and giving employment
to the millions of unemployed who
had been thrown out as a result of
the operation, for the first “time
since i860, of a tariff policy verg-
ing on free trade. He suggested
that we were all familiar with the
effects of the protective tariff on the
home manufacture of barb wire
and wire hails, two commodities in
which every farmer and stock raiser
are interested, also as to the effects
on the cattle business between this
country an<T Mexico, stating that
under the tariff law imposing a
duty of $10 per head on cattle from
Mexico the records show that only
eight head were brought over to
this country in four, years, while
under the twenty per cent, adva-

fighting vessels of our navy, and
that the standing army should only
be increased sufficiently to control
the newly acquired territory; but
that it would be a wise plan to or-
ganize troops in each state to meet
in camp annually under the call of
the president for instruction, thus
doing away with the enormous ex-
panse of maintaining a vast stand-
ing army, for which some are now
contending. He eoncluded his ad-
dress by saying that no other na-
tion had any right to decide for us
what disposition we should make
of the Philippine Islands. As to
what policy we sfiould pursue with
reference to the gvernment of these
islands the speaker said he was not
prepared to say. He said we were
entitled to Porto Rico and the
Hawaiian Islands and that the
Cuban affairs should be settled as
per the original intention of the
administration.
During Judge Crouch’s entire
address he did not, directly dr in-
directly refer to his oponent, Hon.
Rudolph Kleberg of this city, and
his remarks would not in any way
have pinched the toes of any one,
be he ever so sensitive.
