PUBLIC SPEAKING.

Last night, Judge Rector, of Bastrop, and
Judge Evans, U. S. district attorney, and
Judge George Paschal filed the speaking APP
pointment advertised for this city. Judge
Rector delivered an able, argumentative, tenn
crate address, arraigning the policy and acts
of the democratic party in our state. He
was followed by Judge Paschal who devoted his
remarks to the tariff question and fully demon
started his ability to cope with its intricacies,
and to make it plain that the interests of our
community laid in the defeat of John Ham
cock, Esq.
Judge Evans followed in an eloquent speech,
and the large crowd dispersed when the
speaking was over.
Maj. Ochiltree was invited to speak, but
declined in consequence of engagements with
friends from his district whom he met in this
city by appointment.
. The meeting was success.

'CHLEICHER SOUGHT HANCOCK FOR
FINANCIAL WISDOM

When Mr.. Schleicher made his break with
his party in this state in the financial question
and he found himself almost standing alone,
and classed as republican, the position
was trying one, and he felt shaken even in
his own welgrounded reasons for the position
he had taken and among all the men in the
state he sought John Hancock, first, because
he had spent some years in Congress during
the financial discussions, and second because
he had a great reputation as a statesman.
Schleicher told friend the result of his inter-
view with Hancock; he found that he
was unable to answer his simplest question
satisfactorily and he discovered that he was
ignorant of the great political issues of the
lay although he had spent years in congress
where a man not posted but representing the
people honestly should have informed himself
in order to act intelligently. Schleicher had
bent his mind to the questions of tariff and
finance and at the end of his labor found
himself on the side of the republicans and like
an honest man who had reached conclusions
of patient investigation he stood by his
position before the people and defeated John
Ireland, who belongs to the same school Of
politics as John Hancock, platform statesmen
who have never investigated or studied the
political economy of our government.

man called in for shave, and taking his
seat in the chair had his wants duly attended
to. The operator noticed feather sticking
out of his beard, which was rather well grown,
and supposing it had merely lodged there
started to pull it out. The man stopped him,
saying: "Don't: that hurts me-" He then
told our informant that ever since his beard
began to grow that feather had had place on
his cheek and that pulling it out did not check
its growth. but rather increased it. He had
finally concluded to accept it as inevitable,
and accordingly never allowed it to be pulled
out now. The feather was very perfect and
about like that ordinarily plucked from
chickens tail.

EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT.

THE Texas Wool has come out openly
against Hancock. About time.
"Tariff for revenue only" killed the big
Hancock candidate for President in 1850, and
it will kill the little Hancock candidate for
Vice-President in I884.-[Castroville Quill.
But it will settle his congressional aspira-
tons to begin with.
The man who will permit his prejudice
for party to come between him and his honest
convictions of right, especially when those
convictions favor his own interests, is bigger
fool than "Thompson's colt" - Texas
Wool
But, Mr.. Wool, men die for principles,
sometimes, and this may be the case with the
Thompson colts who compose the Hancock
club.
So far as "tariff for revenue only" is con-
cerned, we have said, and we reiterate it that
there can be no such thing. There can be no
duty upon foreign importations without cores
ponding-- protection to home production
Texas Wool.
You are mistaken,-you fail to grasp the
question entirely. A ''tariff for revenue only
can be tariff affording no protection at all
A "tarif-for-revenue-only" can be so adjusted
that so far as our industries and productions
are concerned we may as well have free-trade
pure and simple. Whenever the democratic
idea prevails, then the tariff will be adjusted
to revenue basis. For instance if you take
off the.tarif upon an article now protected, In
proportion to the reduction the importation
will increase so that with less duty the same
revenue will result until the adjustment can
reach almost the minimum offree trade. You
stimulate importation by reducing duty and
the home industry is finally des-
troyed, while the government goes on
collecting just as much revenue without afford
ing any protection. 1t seems strange that the
people who should understand the tariff ques
ton only skim over it, and keep on accepting
the democratic idea that "taritf for-revenue
only" also means tariff for protection. By
protection home industry is promoted, and
the public revenue provided for; by the tariff
for-revenue-only the home industry would be
left unprotected but the revenue would continue
to be the same as it is now.
The republican party is protection party,
the democratic party is free trade. Pay youl
money and take your choice.
