The Bryan-Bailey tariff con-
troversy when whittled down to
the essential point appears about
this way: The Baileyites claim
that to take the tariff off
raw material would favor the
manufacturers, while the Bryan-
ites say to leave it on favors the
producers of the raw material,
whioh if true is a special privi-
lege in either case, contrary to
the democratic doctrine of“equal
rights to all and special privi-
leges to none.” So the game
seems to be blocked. What are
we going to do about it? The
only just way we see to avoid
the evil is to throw overboard, as
soon as practicable, the whole
tariff system and raise revenue
by income tax and other more
eqitable ways. This, it is true,
would amount to free trade, but
America, with her resources and
superior energy can well afford
to step out in the open and fight
her commercial battles like true
men in competition with the rest
of mankind. The tariff ques-
tion has not been understood by
the masses, but agitation will
in time bring out its iniquitous
features and result in the final
over throw of the system which
builds up one class—be he man-
ufacturer or producer of raw ma-
terial—at the expense of the
masses. The only hope of doing
this lies in the ability to hold the
democratic party intact and win
over, by a campaign of education
enough of the republican voters
to oarry out the reform.
What the democratic party
needs is to become unified upon
an honest and just plan of hand-
ling the tariff question—have its
ideal—and announce its deter-
mination to work up to that plan.
An individual who sets his ideal
peg far ahead and strives to
work up to that peg is a far more
successful man than he who lets
each day provide its own plan.
It is just as essential for a party
as for an individual, to have a
fixed purpose towards whioh to
work, and it should announce
those purposes in its national
platforms; and right here comes
in the benefits that should result
from the present agitation that
has been started among the dem-
ocrats of Texas but whioh is sure
to spread to the party in every
state in the Union.
Some men are born knockers,
some knook because of bad liv-
ers, and others aohieve the habit
by associating with the chronic
knookers. To the first we have
nothing to say; to the second we
reoommend fasting and prayer,
with liberal libations of condens-
ed mineral water; to the third
we suggest that every time you
hear a man knooking his own
town mark him off your list of
associates, and resolve to give
your town a boost for every
knook you may have given it
while under the influence of bad
company.—Ex.
Texas 8tate Fair.
Greatest Offerings in History of
Fair Secured.
Dallas, Texas, Oct. 4.—(Spe-
cial): With the lowest railroad
rates and the finest attractions
in history, the twenty-fourth an-
nual meeting of the State Fair of
Texas, whish begins in this city
Saturday, October 16, will un-
doubtedly be the most success-
ful and the most brilliant ever
offered to the thousands of pa-
trons of the institution. Every-
thing is in readiness. All the
improvements contemplated have
been completed. The entries in
the live stock department have
taxed the splendid accommoda-
tions there to the utmost. With
forty-four oountios exhibiting
their farm, orchard and garden
products, the agricultural devel-
opment of the southwest will be
measured even better than last
year. In spite of additional show
oases installed this year in the
textile department every square
foot of this division will be given
over to the display of the handi-
work of the women of the South.
The art loan exhibit will be para-
mount. There will be three
thousand birds exhibited in the
poultry department. Officials of
the national association will de-
liver leotures each evening on
matters pertaining to the poultry
industry. There will be matinee
horse shows every afternoon of
the first week. During the last
week, cattle, sheep, goats and
jaoks and jennets will be judged.
Ten acres will be devoted to the
implement, machinery and vehi-
cle display. The bee and dairy
products departments will have
many new features of an educa-
tional value and exhibitions that
will show a marked improve-
ment over last year. The bench
show will have dogs galore—760
in fact—and all the popular
breeds and varieties will be rep-
resented.
All that is beautiful, strange
or extraordinary in the world of
flowers will be found in that de-
partment. The corn show will
demonstrate the possibilities of
the southwest in the production
of this crop. Displays of the in-
dustrial arts totaling in value
millions of Dollars will be found
in the Exposition building.
Gowns, frocks and millinery di-
rect from Paris will be exhibited,
Children of the Southwest will
find many exhibits of interest in
the manual art department. There
will be a strange collection of
Aztec arohologioal remains in
the geological department. The
mineral resources of the south-
west will be exploited as never
before. In fact, every interest
will be represented in a manner
that will make every oitizen of
the southwest proud; and make
him firmer in his conviotion that
this is the greatest and grandest
portion of the Union.
All the latest devices in the
soientifio world will be demon-
strated. The famous Curtiss
aeroplane—the same type with
which the American aviator won
glory in the European oontests—
will be at the Fair. The Strobel
dirigible, another type of the
airship, will also be there. Ae-
rial navigation will be demon-
strated for the first time in the
South.
In Musio Hall programs will
be given three times daily that
will alone be worth the prtoe of
admission to the Fair*. Band
Master Alessandro Liberatti
with his seventy talented muei-
oians, twenty great vocal artists
and a grand array of instrumen-
tal soloists will be the feature.
Vaudeville aots will add addi-
tional interest. • The manage-
ment has booked several addi-
tional vaudeville artists, and a
brilliant page is assured for the
State Fair musical and enter-
tainment history.
Every evening Pain’s peerless
pyrotecnic drama will be given.
This drama introduces fighting
airships, armored autos, aerial
torpedos, etc. There will be a
gigantic outdoor stage for 250
performers, There will be acres
of realistic scenery, a military
band, novel marches and sports,
there will be a whole oirous of
acrobats, gymnasts, clowns, high
wire experts and sensational
specialists. The depicting of
this thrilling pyroteohnio drama
and battle will necessitate the
most gigantio display of fire
works in the history of the South.
As predicted earlier in the year
the $60,000 in purses and stakes
offered in speed department have
attracted entries from the own-
ers of the greatest race horses in
both running and harness class-
es in America. There will be 10
days of horse racing and three
days of automobile events Dan
Patch and Minor Heir, the for-
mer champion pacer of the
world will race on the afternoon
of Monday, Ootober 18, for the
ohampionship of the world. There
There will be five running races 1
and three harnesss races each
afternoon. On Saturday, Oct,
16, one of the greatest steeple-
chase races in the history of the,
United States will be held. The
afternoons of Oct. 28-29-30 will
be featured by sensational auto-
mobile and motorcycle events.
In the motorcyole events a raoe
for world reoord on a circular
track will be made. The auto-
mobile track is the longest, wid-
est and fastest in Texas. Proper
safeguards have been made
against accidents.
Jupiter Pluvius has been elim-
inated by the management. But
whether the rain god frowns or
not is a matter- of indifference.
The great lake whioh peroolatea
beneath the fair grounds has
been tapped by wells placed dif-
ferent localities on the grounds,
water of the purest and best
best quality is flowing into great
tanks at the rate of hundreds of
thousands of gallons daily. The
city has been out off and the fair
will run its own water system.
Water in abundance will be had
for sewerage, drinking and wash-
ing purposes.
In the matter of rates the rail-
roads have treated the manage-
ment better than ever before.
For the first and second Satur-
days of the Fair a long distance
rate of $4.30 has been made from
Galveston, Houston and San An-
tonio. The limit of tiokets of
this kind is the Monday night
following, so that patrons will
have an opportunity of spending
Saturday, Sunday and Monday
at the Fair. The same low long-
distance rates will apply from
all points in the southwest. Sea-
son tickets will be sold for one
and one-third fare for the round-
trip from all points within ninety
miles; beyond that distance one
and one-fifth fare the round trip.
Sale of these tiokets will start
October 15, with the return lim-
ited to November 1. A rate of
$1 for the round trip will be made
to Dallas during the three Sun-
days of the Fair from all points
within 100 miles. For all points
within 150 miles the rate will be
$1.50. A special two days* fare
of one fair plus 10 cents has
been made for points within 175
miles of Dallas. A visit to the
great exposition will be within
the reaoh of all.

eome say why not take it off corn,
what, cattle hogs and other farm
products as well asoff wool, hides
and lumber, Well here is the ri
reason. A tariff on what we ex-
port, because of a large surplus,
does not furnish any protiotion
and hence does not in any way
regulate the price thereof. We
export wheat, corn, cattle and
hogs; but we import large quanti.
ties of wool, hides and some lum-
ber. The two classes are not ef-
fected the same way by the tariff,
one being exported products and
the other leargely imported pro-
ducts.
