drought in he early part OF the season, II
is ESTIMATED that the cotton crop O. Eas-
tern Texas will / c larger this Than that Of
an, previous year. II is thought that the
picking Will b. cleaner than has cYerbeen
known, as he army worm which passed
through hat eLr,n in the early part of
the fall, DESTROYED all the leaves. We have
no doubt it facilities were afforded, that
mGny of the planters Of the east would
ship their cotton TO Galveston, and 'ay uP
ihelr supplies there. The people of Gal
weston should AXE The matter into conSid-
GRAFTON, cnd cNefi themselves to secure the
eastern trade.
The Gazette suproses that about fifteen
Indians have committed all the depredatIons
which they have suffered Tor the last six
months.

For the Mdependent Democrat.

That there shoull be found, at thus late
dav, and in government like on s, whose
people profess the great doctrines Of
equal rights, maj 'rity IN the NliI'n1I
Legislature leyying taxes on one portion
and interest Of the community, for the cl-
elusive hcneht o. another, is in iced
strange. 1t can only be a:co nted for as
being one of the favorite schemes Of
great Party Leadcr, whose will wa, only
necessary to be known 10 be oJeyed by
his followers. That there should be
found supporting the system, tn 'se upon
whom il was intended to operate, aud is
Eclvi!y oppressive, in violation of the
most sacred principles upon which oar
free institutions were base !, can be attrl-
huted only to the rcchlessnesS of party
zeal. which has closed every avenue
through which the light of truth and
reason can reach the Judgement OF
men.
We are told by the advocates Of pro-
lecive tariff, that we must meet rrStric-
ton by restitution; aposition which seems
reasonable enough, at first view, con- ng
from those whose interests the protective
policy is intended TO favor; but how does
it look when advanced by those who are
pIunde ed by the operation of that policy.
Let u, for example, take the great staple
of the South-Cotton. Great Britain be-
ing the great manufacturing emporium of
the world; it is there that the price Of
colt IN is fixed at a rate By which the 9th
er markets of the world, in which the ar
iclc is dealt in, are regulated She Ic
yics tax, say of three cents per pound
on all American cottons imported into her
domin!ons. Now one of twJ things mus
follow: either the raw mitenli is thereby
ma lie three cents lower than it oIId OIL
crwisc be, or the manufactured Articles
are made higher in proportion II the rate
Of d itv. IL other words, the Elgish Ia
riff would either reduce the phi c Of our
cotton three cents per pound, or it would
cause rs to pay on all the manu- ,cture !
articles we consume, price increased in
proportion to the tax Of three cents on the
raw ml'erill, which the manufacturer had
to pay. NV let lis apply the principle oil
retaliation 10 this case, and ii will bc
found to amount to this: that because
Great Britain chooses to levy duty On cot
ton which taxes either The projicar OF
consumer three cents per pDuni. trYorf
we must lay an additional tax, ID hoth
pro lucer and consumer, of fl ~ per cent;
which is much less ia point of fact, than
is now paid by the consumer of coarse
cottons. And all this is COMMENDED FIR al
"A m lment when even Great Dfitlin, the
great parent of this system of robbery and
miScalIed pr jtection, having by
it, plun1ered her producing ol'sses until
the spirit of revolt manifested Itself, has
at list been compelled to acknowledge its
injustice, and give way to The principles OF
free trade, TO a very considerable extent
by reducing her tariff, and instead t erect.
levying a tax on the property Of the |
country for the support of government.

Hon. Mr.. Sewer has heen re-e!ecte by
the Legislature Of Arkansas, Senator in
Congress for SIX years, the term of which
is t. commence on the 4th Of NJ lrch, lS4Jl
Mr.. Sewer is a good democrat, bat we
doubt very much i his election, s. far in
anticipation Of the comm enc smant of his
term of service, is in accord nee with the
democratic DO 'trine of obedience TO the
will of the people, as it is entirely I'm ,er.
tain whether majority Of the people Of
Arkansas on the 4th Of March, 1915, will
concur with Mr.. Sewer in political views.
He may change his opinion before that
time; or, although snch thing is n IT pro-
babe, maj Drity Of his Constituents may
then be opposed u what are the Senator's
present views. The precedent set in this
case is, we think, at least Vigorous, if no,
violation of the spirit Of our political in
sttlti ms. We believe that the Senators
should come '"resh from the people," AMI
that the term of six years prescribed by the
Constitution, should not be extended, as in
this in tance, so as, in effect, To place the
