ur. weaver,s speech.
fFort Worth Democrat.l

The speech made by Mr.. Weaver
yesterday, in the grove on Clear
Fork, was 80 entirely different from
the one made under the same tree,
two years ago, by G.. Wash Jones,
that the conclusion is irresistible,
that either the principles OF the
party have undergone a change,
or else these two apostles Of
Greenbackism are not in har-
mony upon the principles of the
party. Two years ago the bur-
den of Jones' argument was fiat
money. Yesterday fiat money was
not alluded to at all-the currency
was only mentioned incidentally,
and the burden of his song was cor
porations and monopolies. General
Weaver is unqueetionably strong
stump speaker. He is little stacy
in his address, relates an anec-
dote finely, and can very plausi-
bly, "make the worse appear
the better thing" His speech yes
teJday was not argnmentative or
logical. 1t was addressed 10 the
prejudice rather than to the reason
and understanding of his audience.
The facts were distorted and the
record perverted in more than one
instance. He did not, in every in
stance, lay the blame of the
evils that are complained Of
by his party, where they prop
erly belong, nor did he give the
Democrats credit for the efforts
made by them to avert these evils.
The reason for this arises, doubtless,
from the fact that at the time these
acts were committed by the Repub-
lican party, he was member Of
that party, and in full accord
with it on these question:. But
General Weaver was addressing
yesterday an audience composed
principally of men who affiliated
with the Democratic party at the
present time, or in the not very re-
mote past, and it was necessary for
him to create as much prejudice ae
possible against that party. Alto
gether we were somewhat disap-
pointed in the force of the speaker

MAHoNE is at home lnsugurating
a move for an extra session of the
Virginia legislature, to attempt to
enforce the partisan purposes upon
which he failed SEINE time ago. The
fact is the Republicans are demand
ing that they be reimbursed on the
failure to redistrict the state TO their
own liking.

HAYES county Democracy in
structed for Ireland. 1t began on
the Rio Grande, and swept east

and the indications are that Travis
will be added to the column, sup
ported on either side by Williamson
and Bastrop. The movement really
does look serious.

THE Austin friends of Hon. Col
umbus Upson have called upon the
STATESMAN, and request that the
forma. announcement be made in its
columns that this gentleman is a
candidate for congress in the tenth
district, subject To the action of the
Democratic nominating convention.
Mr.. Epson is now the member from
the sixth congressional district,
under the old apportionment, and
will hold in that capacity until the
fourth of March next, when the new
congress will be inaugurated. He
was first elected to fill an unexpired
term caused by the death of Mr..
Schlelcher, and therefore he is serv-
ing his second term in con-
gress. The STATESMAN was not
in favor of this section being placed
in the same district with interests in
the west somewhat diverse to its in
terests, but this opposition was not
gratified, and hence it becomes wise
to conform to conditions which be-
set us. After all. it may be fortu-
nate for the honor and integrity of
the Democracy of Texas that the
tenth district is so composed. These
reported adverse interest should be
led to harmonic in the interests of
the masses, and if this may
be done the Democratic candidate
from this district will be. re-
lieved from embarrassing conditions.
1t would be unwise indeed TO
send any Democrat from Texas
pledged to sustaining any monop-
oily, and 1t is reasonable to assume
that neither Mr.. Upson nor any
other respectable gentleman,
would accept on such condi-
tion. In truth, there should be no
question of wool or anti-wool
submitted to. If the Democratic
party of Texas can not rise above
local questions in making a plat
form, then 1t will not command pub
lie respect. 1t is to be presumed the
Democracy of this state viii not give
encouragement to the high tariff
ideas of the Republican party,
that II win AT least align itself with
the principles laid down by the De-
mocracy of the states, and thus give
aid and encouragement to harmoni-
ous doctrines for the entire country
This 1t Is presumed win be the
course of the party in convention al
Galveston, and then, of course Mr.
Upson, or any other good Demo.
crat, will stand squarely on the state
platform. This is the only way in
which nominations should be made
and certainly II the honor and dig
nifty of the party be held as worth
ANYTHING this will be the test in al
nominations Mr.. Upson has here
tofore been true to The Democratic
party, and 1t Is to be presumed he
will remain so.

Honest sIenan Majority

The STATESMAN gives currency to
a report that certain land agents in
north Texas, with organization
throughout the state, are organizing
to defeat Commissioner Walsh for
the nomination at Galveston. Walsh
has been in the way ofland agents
for several years, and no wonder
they conclude to combine to try and
defeat him, otherwise, their game OF
grabbing is blocked. We reckon
honest men are still in a small ma
jority, at least in Texas. Walsh is
not in much danger of defeat

THE Hebrew aid society are
somewhat perplexed how to provide
for the Russian refugees who con-
tinue to arrive in large numbers at
Castle Garden. Some of those refu.
gees are not without resources OF
their own, as pauperism is not a
characteristic of the tribe. Only in
this emergency, after they had been
despoiled by persecution and forced
into exile, have they been in
necessitous circumstances in this
country. But since the exodus
commenced from Russia, Hebrews
without funds in reserve were sent
out here by benevolent European
organizations, and without any pre-
vious notice to the losal societies.
The Hebrew aid society generously
extended assistance TO their people,
and ut an expense of $4,000 a month
kept them above want. But the
funds of that society are now ex-
hausted, and unless they are speedi-
ly replenished the Hebrew refugees
will henceforth be in the same posi-
tion as other immigrants.

A rival to king cotton rs being in

A rival to king cotton is being in
troduced in the south. 1t is the
pita or silk grass plant, which is a
native of the West Indies, and which
will grow perennially in the guilt
states and along the Atlantic coast.
The experiments 30 far made with
the pita have been satisfactory. "a
fabric of fine fibre was exhibited in
Washington recently, and the COM
missioner or agriculture is said TO
have danced the Virginia reel upon
sight oft.

Arthur should Pull out His Purse.
TChfcaQo Timee.1

Did President Arthur refuse TO
pay his contribution to the congress
sional campaign fund until he re-
ceived the assurance of j. Hubbell
that there would be no objection in
any official quarter? Two per cent
on $4,000 is q round sum, but il
doesn't hit Arthur as hard as the
page and the scrub woman and the
laborer in the ship yards are hurt
by the levy made upon them.

Cotton is slowly gathering specu-
lative interest as good average crops
reduce the risk about grain. The
Egyptian crop, it is now generally
admitted, will amount to little. 1t
is a mere fraction of the worlds
supply: 425,000 TO 100000 bales out
of 100000; but it has a special
importance owing to its long
staple and its importance in use
with other cOttons. This circum-
stance leads to its importation
to this country, for instance.
With the Egyptian cotton out of the
way, a small or average crop i'll this
country will put cotton high, as the
year will close with about one-fifth
to one-sixth the usual amount left
over. The Financial Chronicle, in
its reports, puts the reduction in
acreage lOw-not over Il per cent
and looks for fair crop. Until the
next few weeks weather has settled
the question, however, little can be
known.

A PLANK IN THE TEXAS PLAT
FORM.


sylvania farmers in 1880 produced in
their hay crop alone value of
1851, ,449 more than the entire
value of the iron ore taken by the
protected interests from the mines
of the state in that year, and yet
these farmers have to pay to the
protected monopolies tax of from
ninety to 240 per cent on articles OF
necessity. SO protection bears upon
the masses in all parts of the coun-
try. The farmer sells his cotton and
his wheat and his oats and his corn
in open competition with the world,
while he is forced to pay heavy trib-
ute to a privileged class of his fel-
low-citizens. Every consumer is in
volved. Thepeople pay two or three
prices for all they wear, for much that
they eat and for a vast amount that
they drink. 1t does not matter so
much about the latter, but when the
necessities of life are so heavily
taxed in the interest of mo-
nopolies, when material so ne
cessary in the development of
the country is heavily taxed
in the interest of protecting
the closest combinations of capital
it is time for the people to rise in
their majesty and stop such oppres-
sion. Protection was war
measure, and the war ceased seven
teen years ago. 1t taxes almost
everything used by the individual as
a necessity, and railways are made
to pay an enormous tariff on all ma
terial used in construction. Could
the railway companies obtain their
iron without the payment of this
heavy duty-their engines and other
material, without paying forty per
cent more than they are really
worth, there could be very decided
partial solution of question that
now disturbs the politics of all the
states. Could the railway men buy
IRON and other material for forty per
cent less, as they could were
this protection done away with, the
railway could at once convey pas
sengers and freights for much less
1t is said that the railways of this
country thus pay annually over one
hundred millions of dollars as a
premium on protection. This is a
vast sum, and if the railways could
be relieved of this enormous tax,
they could in return make most per-
ceptible concessions in passenger
and freight charges to the people.
How can the people stand these op-
pressions? They must either give
up all, rellnquish everything to
monopolies under their government,
become the everlasting slaves of
protectionists, bound hand and foot
to their very wills, or they must
have relief, liberty and competency.
The country is becoming fully alive
to this great question, and the
party that does not take the
side of the people will be
classed as the Republican party
is now regarded-the agent of popu-
lar oppression. Federal Democracy
has declared in favor of a tariff for
revenue only, and were the party
now in convention they would add
intensity to the declaration made at
Cincinnati in 1880. That Texas De
mocracy will accept the situation
and come squarely up to the require
ment of the day, is not to be doubted

The report comes from the city of
Mexico that the object of the visit of
President Barrios to tbe United
States is to promote the consolida-
tion of the five Central American
states, and to offer the annexation of
the greater part of Guatemala to the
United States. Really, this is too
kind. 1t is more tempting even
than the tender made, or alleged to
have been made, to Mr.. Blaine, of
the Peruvian nitrate beds in ex-
change for the value of a guano
claim. The consolidation of Central
America will not happen until Costa
Rica or Nicaragua are strong enough
to swallow up their sister states. AS
to the tender of part of Guatemala,
it seems to be the case that that re-
public has no certain boundaries. A
part of the territory it claims be-
longs, it is also claimed, to the Ba-
lize, another part is now disputed
by the Mexican state of Chiapas, and
a third by Yucatan. There has been
serious talk of a war in consequence
of the active discrepancy between
the pretensions of Guatemala and
Chiapas, and maybe it is this part of
Guatemala which President Barrios
wishes to have annexed to the Uni
ted States.

places, acted and spoken with discre-
ton. / need not go over what is
now tradition; but take the events
of to-day. We have been discuss
ing the recharter of ne stional banks.
The southern men are the best
takers perhaps but their eloquence
is only too often imprudent and
fatal By these facile takers the
south and the Democratic party
are presented as the antagonists
of the corporate wealth of the
east and west. This is not
really the case; but Republican
ingenuity can readily turn it in that
way. because fiery southern con-
gressmen do not guard their lam
guage. Take my state. 1t is, in the
next election, debatable ground.
Tremendous efforts are being made
to capture it. The Democrats will
carry it this time; but if the capital
lists of the north choose to retaliate
upon our unwise orators, they could
easily send money enough there to
make a Republican victory secure.
What is the sense, then, of southern
men warning against the money
power, and thereby not only losing
all hopes OF another Democratic
tidal wave, but subjecting them
selves to the danger of another car
pet-bag rule, or, if not that, to the
domination of the negro and the So
called native liberal? For my part,
see nothing but the most stupen-
dous blundering in such talk or ac-
ton, and do not intend to be party
to it not only for the good of the
Democracy but for our people, who
are weary of bad leadership and
defeat after defeat Hereunder"
1t strikes me that there is much
good sense in the above remarks,
which emanate from one who won
fame in battle and is now regarded
as one of the shrewdest of our
public men.
