A Thousand wrongs.
Bastrop Advertiser

Remember when you are about TO
cast your votes that Edmund j.
Davis declared himself, not four
months since, in a public speech, a
Radical Republican. Remember
further that Edmund j. Davis has
declared himself, time and again and
in the most public and positive man.
ner, high protectionist.
Remember further that, under the
administration of Edmund j. Davis,
you were compelled to come
from your homes to the town
of Bastrop and register, then
to return to your homes, then
to return again to the town
of Bastrop and cast your votes.
Remember, further, that under the
administration of Edmund j. Davis
policemen were employed for days
previous to and during the election,
without any necessity therefor what
ever, and that the good people OF
Bastrop county had to pay these po-
licemen.
Remember, further, that you were
compelled to come to Bastrop and
take a vote whether martial law
should be declared or not.
Call 10 mind a thousand wrongs
which you suffered under the Davis
administration, and ask yourselves
whether as good citizens, as sincere
patriots, you can either directly or
indirectly aid in the election of Ed
mund j. Davis to congress-either
by voting for him or failing to vote
| for John Hancock.

Sm0re UnfOrtunate.' -
1San Antonto Timea1

The Express ever reasons within q
circle when on the tariff question.
While it accuses the STATESMAN of
having but one idea on tariff it
shows itself to be more unfortunate
than the STATESMAN, because it has
no defined idea. We see little room
for any information on the part of
our contemporary in favor of Demo-
cratic ideas. All true Democrats IA
vor a strict construction of the con.
stitution. This is one of the cardinal
ideas of Democracy, and we
say that under the constitu-
ton congress can only i'm
pose duties TO raise revenue for the
support of the government. The
distinction between revenue tariff
and one for protection is well I'M
derstood by all persona who give
the subject any thought. When du-
ties are levied for revenue there is
necessarily incidental protection to
that extent, but tariff for revenue
only must be laid with that
object alone. Democrats do not
recognize the authority in congress
under the constitution 10 pass
laws for the protection of
favored classes. When we state that
in adjusting the tariff, if ten cents on
wool is found to be within a revenue
standard, it should remain, we
state a proposition which accords
with Democratic doctrines. True
Democracy denies the right of pro-
lection in any form. These princi-
Piles are 30 plain and generally
understood that all may understand
them except editors who have the
wool pulled over their ewes.

OLD Man Gathings.
rSan nfonio Timea1

The STATESMAN of recent date
contained the famous election order
issued by E. j. Davis during the adj
ministration. The fact that such
order had been issued is fresh in the
minds of the people, but the exact
wording of the order was not re-
membered. We hope the people
will read it. because it stamps Mr..
Davis as a despot of the first water.
The worst despotism of Europe has
not known such a thing in the past
fifty years. There Is another act
committed by the police of Davis,
who were acting under his orders,
which should find a place alongside
of his election order. We refer
to the robbing of Col. Gathings,
of Hill county, in 1872. A nephew
of Col. g. killed negro in Bosque
county, about twenty-five miles from
his uncle's house, and upon mere
suspicion that he had gone to Col.
CPS house, Gen. Davidson, at the
head of a company of state police,
went to Col. Gathings and demand
ed the nephew, and as the old man
was unable to comply, he was ar
rested without warrant and carried
to Hillsborough, where Davidson
released him for the sum of $4,000,
which the old man paid. These men
were acting under the orders of E.
j. Davis, and as the money was not
returned he must have approved the
act of robbery. Such is the man
who now seeks Office at the hands of
the voters of Texas.

To the Editor of the Statesman

To the Editor of the Statesman:
l am in favor of tariff per Sc, that
is, tariff is essential to the promo
ton of any rising industry in our
country that admits of home pro-
duction and manufacture, when the
material of such industry is pro.
duced and manufactured in other
countries and poured into our mar
ket. For a large overplus of pro-
duction and manufacture, in the law
of trade, means cheap, aud this pre-
vents the investment of capital, both
in manufacture and the production
of the raw material with us, and
stiles an industry. Wool, for ex-
ample, that would otherwise
give remuneratlng employment
to a great many of our
people. Hence a tariff--the higher
the better-gives immediate conf
dence and we are not afraid to invest
our money in sheep or factories.
This Immediately raises the price of
wool and wooden goods, which the
general consumer is forced to pay,
but is compensated for by the thrift
impaired to the industry and the
money kept at home. But in time
the manufacturer increases his capt.
tai, capitalists become Corporations,
corporations unite. The producer
caunot unite. They begin to weld
the balance of power against him,
and he begins to loose the benefits
once derived from the tariff.
Now, the wool, iron, steel and
other highly protected industries
have grown to be a power in the
land, and don't wish to "down" at
any bidding. They corrupt the
halls of legislation, and send
their political hirelings even into
Texas to secure seats in con-
gress in their interest. Hence
| all things considered is it not
policy to ourselves and patriotism
to begin to use moderation on al
high protected articles, with duty
free on those we cannot produce al
home. General free trade would BIZ
disastrous at present but there is nc
free trade party. The Democratic
platform emphaticslly announces 6
tariff for revenue, and that covers 6
wide field and gives all needed pro.
lection now.
In regard to mohalr, l doubt i
protection would be a benefit to il
now. 1t is too scarce everywhere
to supply the demand, which opens
it to competition everywhere, to the
extent of the ability of the consumer
If free trade could become univer.
sal the world would might be better
of.
There has been so much said of late
to sheep men about tariff is my apol
logy for writing this for their con
sideration. A Wool GROWER.

An Extraordinary Interest.


The opposition in this district have
made the silly charge that Hon.
John Hancock is not a Democrat,
when the truth is that no truer one
lives in the state, and the great booy
of the people of the state recognize
the fact. The extraordinary interest
in his election now manifest through
out the state proves conclusively the
great confidence aud esteem in
which he is held by the Democrats
of the state. In congress he will
reflect honor upon his state. The
Republicans of the district curse
Hancock and eulogize Mr.. Epson,
but let the matter be reversed, and
we would find complete change in
their tactics. If Epson had been
nominated instead Hancock, then
they would abuse Epson, and swear
that Hancock was defeated because
he was Union man. With them il
always depends upon whose OK was
goIed.

Hon. A. W. Terrell:
Dear Sir-In accordance with your
request, l state the following facts:
During the April session of the leg
isiature 1 informed you that j. V.
and e. B. Farwell, Col. Taylor and
myself, contractors to build the new
state capitol for Texas, desired to
get rid of a party who had a small
interest in the contract, and who, we
had been informed, had made dis
honorable proposition to the state
architect. 1t was alleged on the
floor of the house that one OF the
capitol contractors had offered the
state architect $4,000 to change some
item in the specifications. You drew
at my request release of his inter-
est to myself and associates. When
offered to pay you, you declined to
receive pay, and stated that while
you remained a senator you would
take no fee from any one having. a
contract with the state, and that the
prompt action taken by me under
| such circumstances was 80 unusual
among public contractors it had al

was made in the denial referred tc
above, which was made some time
ago. Besides the writer of this knew
the circumstances now stated b!

Voting Them Like sheep.
dallas Times.1

Whenever candidate begins to
fill up on red liquor, and lay his
troubles on his friends, then you can
bet he is giving up the political
ghost. Wash Jones is trying to let
himself down light by laying it all
ON Davis. Wash was under the
impression that his gang was to do
all the nominating and the "Isads''
the most of the voting but the lat
ter have named the tail OF the
ticket and put some of the old Davis
gang on it, and Wash. is kicking"
The truth is, both Jones and Davis
made a mistake in believing they
could vote their parties in a trade
like sheep. In the little transaction,
Davis put in everything that had
wool on it as belonging to him, and
Wash. put in all OF his Greenback-
ers. 1t seems as if neither can de-
liver.

THE DAY BEFORE
The Opening of the Virginia state
Fair.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 31.--This day
was a great day in Richmond, being
the industrial event of the year. The
military, civic and trades paraded,
and the city presented a gala appear
ance, the streets being filled with
more people than was ever seen on
them before, while many houses
were decorated with flags, bunting,
etc. The weather was delightful.
The parade of this year was far supe-
rior to that of last, not only in the
number of exhibits, but in their supe-
riority, and the success of the de-
monstration surpassed the most san-
guine anticipations. The display
represented interests amounting to
many millions of dollars. The pro-
cession was near.y three hours in
passing given point, and the num-
Der of people who witnessed the
parade is estimated at from 10000 to
$4,000, of whom $1,000 to 10000 were
strangers. The fair of the Virginia
State agricultural society opens here
tomorrow, and promises to be emil
nentlY successful. Exhibits of the
departments are numerous and good,
and there will be races each day for
good horses. Fine sport is expected.

THE Citizen, q paper published in
this city by the colored man, Hamil-
tom, shows that the Hubbell fund has
arrived. Appealing to the colored
element it says of Judge Terrell, ale
openly says he does not care for
your votes, and why should you sup
port such hypocrit?" All who
have heard Judge Terrell know that
he has always spoken kindly OF the
colored people, and in the senate has
labored for their education. He has
predicted that Davis would drive
most of them to Trigg's support, but
has from the first labored to show
them that the Democratic party was
their truest friend. Ifthis effort to
excite hatred against the candidates
of the party, which so willingly ed
ucstes this race continues how long
before Texas will adopt the Ken
lucky law and let the negroes edu-
cate their own race? The thinking
element of our colored voters should
pause and reflect before following
the lead of men who, this man
like Trigg at Blue Bluffs, are teach
ing them that the Democracy hates
them.

THE Democratic property holders
of Austin voted the city tax in favor
of the free education of colored
children as well as whites. Will
these colored people vote for Ireland,
who as the coming governor of Tex
as is to shape policies IN their inter-
est, or will they vote for Jones a
trickster in politics, who if they were
TO vote for him every two years from
now till the end of mis- days could
not be made governor? Then, too,
will they not vote for Hancock, the
man who is going to represent them
in congress? And will they not vote
for these and other Democrats to
show that they properly appreciate
the bounties of Democratic, legisla-
lures to their community, the con-
sideration paid by Democrats to the
educational needs ofthe colored race
in Austin and in Texas
