Sherman was the speaker o. the evening.
He opened very pointedly with the ques-
tion, Who is tariff? Why is she for revenue
only? He commented strongly on the gain
England made during her free trade re-
gime and contrasted it strongly with the
fact that since the foundation of our coun-
try five-sixths of our imports were in the
shape OF half finished goods; he regretted
the mistake Tree traders have made
by admitting that manufacturers
were ever encouraged by the
tariff, and wound up with this motto:
"Free trade, equal taxation, farmers rights:
manufacturers prosperity and high wages"

to my humble cot, wishing every toiler to
enjoy but one-hundredth part of my then
exalted state.
Lounging around the hotels one meets
NO end of prominent people. While look
ing into the Union club / noticed the
stately figure of Ex-Governor Dorsheimer,
who has Just returned from a trip made
through Texas in the company of the
Southern Pacific officials. l opened fire in
the usual way:
"Well. governor, What do you think of
Texas, sir? Why, 1 believe the future
of Texas is such that no one can
tell how great a part she is
destined to play in this country's CONNER

people i met that never in life did 81 much
heartfelt hospitality stand at NV disposal
as in the broad acreage ofthe Lone Star

very long in any, but | must say San An
tonia compares fayorably with any spot /
have ever visited both in this country
and abroad; 1t is a perfect Eden and ! shall
revisit that and other parts of Texas again.
The governor represents the 9TH congress
sional district of this state, and | took
the opportunity 10 ask his views on the
tariff question. "What are your views
about the tariff" My views are substan-
sially these. that al least 10 mus DO modl-
fed, and you may look forward to the abo-
lition OF the tariff on many hundreds OF ar
that are nov taxed and yet yield a
revenue to no one, by the next congress.
OF course we can hardly expect to COM
abolish the tax in some time 10
come, yet eventually IL must

to its merits; knowing the governor

There is a deal Of "howling'' here as to
whether American steel is good enough TO
build the proposed steel cruisers. Now you
