The state of Texas will soon have a
school fund that bids fair to exceed that of
any state in the union. In that event the
educational facilities will be such that the
immigration to that commonwealth will be
greater than has been the case, even in the
past few years where thousands have been
fiocking to that locality. By her constitu-
ton the proceeds of the sales of her pub
lie lands must go for school purposes ex-
clusively. She has yet forty millions acres
unsold, which should produce not less than
S1O0,000.000 sum equal to the school

Charley Foster of Ohio is known as the
great Thanksgiving governor of that state.
The only great thing he ever accomplished
was to issue two proclamations for Thanks
giving service the same year. AS the year
is not yet completed it is barely possible
that the prolific brain of the governor may
evolve third proclamation. This peculi-
arity is easily explained, as during the
late war, Charley did not go to the front
but remaided at home and sold calico.
Whenever a battle was won, the calico
measurer would render thanks, all by him
self, that his store was safe. When the
war was concluded Charley entered into
the spirit of rejoicing, and gave thanks
because he had escaped service for his
country. He has been known to remark,
LET others make the laws of the nation,

The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-08-01

The great. the only woodpulp senator
from New York, who is otherwise known
as Hon. Warner Miller, has lately made a
speach This talk was not delivered before
a mixed audience, but was expressed be-
fore convention of paper men at Saratoga.
Mr.. Miller announces himself as being OPP
posed to any reduction in the protective
tariff which now is placed on paper. This
view he entertains from selfish motives as
he is engaged in the paper business him.
self, and proposes to make his position as
United States senator amount to some
thing as business speculation. The po-
sition must have cost a certain amount of
money. and he proposes to make it up
by enjoying protection against foreign
houses.
His position against reduction of the
tariff is pronounced, at the same time, he
permits his national pride to get the better
of his business judgment, for in the same
speech, he maintains that paper is sold as
low, quality for quality in New York as
in London" In other words the American
institutions can manufacture paper as
cheaply as is the case with English houses,
but still the high protective tariff must be
retained. The "woodpulp" senator failed
to give any reason for his views, and the
only satisfactory one is that the ring of
American houses desire monopoly in that
particular branch, as by their own admis
sion they cannot ask for protection for the
institution in this country can manufacture
the paper cheaply as can the houses in
England.
This is but a fair sample of the republi-
can protective tariff mania, as in almost
every instance the real object is to secure
monopoly. The present tariff on paper
can not yield cent of revenue to the gov
eminent for the foreign institutions can not
expect to compete when the local manutac-
tories can undersell them. 1t is not an as
sistance to the laborer, as even without
tariff English goods could not be laid down
in New York for the same price that the
American houses can produce them. 1t is
simply scheme to allow few manufac-
turers in the last to dictate to the entire
country what prices shall be charged for
paper. Thr people are becoming disguised
with the practice, and if the two parties
meet ON that issue in the next camgaign
the Democrats with tariff for revenue
only, win sweep the country as it didfnany
times before the war.
