A Sainplo Protected Industry

and a British possession Inrgely en-

The United states consul on Turks
Island gives an exhibit of tho salt

which furnishes some facts for jellec
tlon to people in this country who buy
nnd use salt
Tho Engllth government owns tho

Our home manufacturers of snlt pro-
test that they cannot maintain them-
selves with foreign competitors except
by tho protection of n tarlll which ndds
70 per cent to the cost of foreign Bait
And yet it Is a fnct ns disclosed by the
report of the United States cousul thut
the original cost of seven aud a half
cents u bushel for salt on Turks Island
Is Increased to twenty cents by tho
natural charges of transportation be-
fore reaching u port of this country
Tho home manufacturer thus has an
advantage equil to moro than 12 cents
a bushel without the addition of an
Import tax of 70 per cent The ques-
tion thnt boldly Intrudes Itself upou
consumers of snlt is something like
this If salt cnu bo profitably pro
duced nt n cost of seven nud n half
cents u bushel on Turks islnnd why
cannot It be mndo In this country with
equal profit at twenty ccuts Is the
difference lu the cost of manufacture
the inference between the wages of
saltworkers in tho United States and
saltworkers lu Turks Island or is It
tho difference between the prollts de-
manded by American silt manufac-
turers nud foreign manufacturers
An Incident of history shall serve to
embellish a chapter In protection liter-
ature lu tho Knnawhn valley of
West Vlrglula are rich salt springs
and by n generous provision of nature
there is In tho same vicinity nu inex-
haustible supply of Honing gas This
gas furnishes u motive power to lift
the salt brluo Into largo tanks nud
supplies n fuel for use in evaporating
tho brine Under such favorable con
ditions for the cheap production of
salt ono would have thought that the
public would not long bo deprived of
the resulting benellts of u reduction of
tho price of salt Hut ho tulnklug he
will llud himself in error The salt
manufacturers of the United Stntes do
not want cheap Bait nnd being safe
from foreign competition they are en-
abled by combination to keep up the
prlco nt home The owners of the
salt works in Ohio und elsewhere
seeing that tho natural advantages
of theKuunwhu salt springs would al-
low the production of suit ntn price
that they could not compete with
pooled their interests nud leased the
Ksuuwha springs for a lonn term
und then closed Ihe works nud stopped
production The lease of course cost
themn grent deal but they could well
afford to pay it for nothing In return
tlnce they cut oir cheap production
and kept up the price of their product
This Is a fair snuiple of the working
of a tariff system Tho bounty of nu
ture Is rejected for tho protection nnd
support of monopolists An article
that Is produced near our coast for 71
cents n bushel becomes under our
tariff lawt worth threo times thnt
amount Millions of consumers pay
this additional cost for the support of
a few hundreds It is time to abolish
tho system of protection
Hot By Cokes Friends
Isut the Statesman firing at ran-
dom when It hints so broadly too
thut the friends of Senator Coke are
growing restive nnd nro almost per-
suaded to make n break against con-
tinued political preferment for the
present executive of Texas Nobody
Is simple enough to suppose thero Is
friendship between Coke and Ireland
in tho very nature of things thnt can-
not be But there is peace or at
least an armistice which Is likely to
be continued for some time yet If
tho restlvenesa to which the States-
man refers tlndg expression on the
part of Cokes friends ns such the
publlo will be somewhat astonished
Mr Coke has n thorough appreciation
of the dignity of his position nnd he
has not been nor Is It probable that he
will be betrayed Into auy unseemly
exhibition of his aspirations ni to the
future It is uot believed however
that Mr Coke la devoid of aspirations
that he is prejiarlng to retire Into
private life at Uie end of his present
And
term vhy should he It Is a
legitimate usplratlou to ngaln be hla
own successor But Mr Coke and his
frJeuds casting about for menus to
promote these aspirations will hardly
deem It expedient or appropriate to
antagoulie the Ireland lolluence If
they do there will be trouble la Mr
Cokes pathway when he Beeks re-
election to the senate for the Ireland
lnflu ue Is nut to be dtaplsed or bs
llttled Tho truth Is thero Is no need
for Mr Coko or his friends to an-
tagonize nny manor Influence Coko
Is doing well m It s and can afford to
lot well enough alono Jfo Is strong
with his constituents nnd his strongtli
comes from his Intrinsic merit and
nblllty ns a ptiblio man If Ireland Is
to como to grief tit Houston It Is not
probttblothnt Cokes friends ns such
will haven hand in it If they do
their chief will doubtless proy ns
other men have done to bo saved from
his friends

Territorial Delegates
A question to bo settled at tho na-
tional Democratic convention is as to
the admission of delegates from tho
territories Tho matter has not pro-
voked much discussion but it is of
grent enough importance to merit con-
sideration nud nn expression from tho
stnte convention which convenes lu
this city on the 11th of June Tlbero
aro nine territories including the Dis-
trict of Columbia nnd to glvo these
two votes each as proposed adds
eighteen votes to the convention Tho
territories hnvo no voice lu tho election
of n president nnd these eighteen ter
rltorlnl delegntes are therefore repre-
sentative of no constituencies thnt cnu
pnrtlcipnto in the election of n presi-
dent whom It Is proposed to give them
u voico In choosing Without terri-
torial delegntes tho convention will
enst 892 votes nnd if the twothirds
rule be adopted Mo of thBe will nomi-
nate but with the added delegates
from territories 617 nro required to
make n nomination Thus It Is made
possible for representatives with no
votes behind hem to defeat tho nomi-
nation of n man who may bo thb choice
of voting Democrats Territorial dele-
gates ought not to bo admitted nud
tho Fort Worth convention should to
Instruct tho Texas delegates
Two Oases and How Unliko
A remnrknblo scene wns witnessed
In Ihe court ofnppeals nt Austin Inst
week when n lawyer mudc an enrnett
plea for u reheurlng for u young mnn
sentenced to n long term of Imprison-
ment ns n highwayman Ills client
was his sou for tho lawyer was the
father of theyoung robber Maklnson
As wo rend of it unotherlncldentcnme
to mind detailed u few wedks ngo in u
Philadelphia paper An unhapjpy
wifes second husbaud the couple had
separated brought suit for custody of
n little child his nud her daughter
aud the young Inw er who prosecuted
tho suit wns the miserable womans
own sou the fruit of Uer earliest mar-
riage her first born Calmly end with
deliberate methods ho examined nud
crossexamined her ns she sat In the
witness box and sought with fiendish
sarcasm to brenk down her testimony
At the climux tho bewildered nnd
heartbroken woman could only sob
My sou is it Indeed yott who nro
talking to me thus nud fell fainting
upou the lloor Fortunately such ep-
isodes are so rare that they only in-
spire n thrill of horror as we read of
them hko some morbid unnatural
story of the unreal nnd grotesque
How much more ukln to Immunity
this scene of the old man nt Austin
pleading for another chance for his
wayward sou The woman we have
wiltten of was not charged with any-
thing to disgrace the name of wife or
mother Incompatibility of temper
nmeut hnd placed her husband und
herself far npart But had she been
tho worst of her kind tho spectacle of
her own son for tuouey or nny other
consideration acting ns her Inquisitor
nnd prosecutor Is ns unnatural nnd re-
volting as anything thnt can be Im-
agined We do not know how young
Maklnson will fare he Is from all ac-

richly deserves tho punishment pro
posed for him but the old fathers ef
fort will win sympathy and respect

are not in sympathy with its interesta
or principles
nt nil only
far ns their own aspirations and
ier8 ° ual Gains are concerned
As Mr Coleman says We have notk
Ing to lose but all to gain These
words nro very much ffite n few men
of the old Democratic party snld in a
private oiusus durngtue dnysgone
ny when they found no show for ollce
lu their own pnrty und came to them
selves nnd said Let us arise and eo

Third Since 18CS there has not been
In nny of the nutlonal Republican
platforms n word syllabi letter or
sign fostering bucu suicidal expres-
sions much less forming or proposlne
to form a color line True a
few Incapacitated aspirants have
been defeated and then o y
out Down with your Ignorant
negroes thoy nre not lit to vote
Such men nre always afraid of thema
Jority vote let It be white or colored
4 Mr Coleman says in this attitude
referring to what he calls n decline of
the Republican party In the Soutb
We rick nothing in forming n white
mans Itepubllcan party In Texas but
we do better ourselves und do not in
jure anybody white or black We at
least preserve our Individual selfre
spect and save ourselves and families
to n Kreat degree the ostracism so Ut-
ter lu many localities in Texas
Now let mo say that the above reads
well lu print nnd looks well
In a flrctclass Democratic pi-
per nnd in the views of
all truly enlightened Retubllcans
should only be ndvocated by thorough-
bred Democrats and uever was or will
bo advocated or followed by auyt lller
tyloving Republicans In this or any
other stnte of this nntlonnl govern-
ment And men claiming to have such
clevuted white mans party views
should wander back to their tint love
the Democratic party where only they
and their families will be free from
Democratic ostracism and political cen-
sure
sureFifth Mr Coleman siys In sup
port of these views let me cite you to
Harrison county whero there Is 1500
colored majority and only three or
four outspoken white Republi
cans As to this I only wish
to state thnt It may be
true but how often these few ehan
their names I cant tell but musteay
without fear of contradiction that the
number does not correspond with the
list of Republicans from that county
who aspire to government appoint-
ments to oillce Hence I should not
bo n bit surprised if there will notte
quite n large club of tho white wan 8
Republican party raised in tbatcounty
if us sUted there nre only three or four
who aro Republicans from choice and
uotforofllce So I would advise Col-
E W Morten to send bis deputies to
that couuty at once as very
few If any outspoken Rspub leans
will join his newborn Democrat c oil
spring the white mans Republican
Sixth Mr Coleman says Tills
Inveterate desire for political position
by the educated colored geminan to
Is about
been tbe millstone and now
the neck of the party tn Texas and me

of the song goes it
As far as this part
converted
is true of some aspiringnewly
verted Republicans As tbe educated
colored can read taB8

much change of heart
that there is not
and hence they nre beaten for some
for some fedenu
