SOME of ihesimple ones, who couldn't
tell the difference between a hawk and
handsaw, ask this question: If free
grass, why not free timber? Because
crop Of grass will reproduce itself in
a year, while crop Of timber will not
reproduce itself in hundred years.
Stock may Craze on the public COM
mons, and the value of the land is not
impaired, for the grass will be as good
rs ever next year. If land is denuded
of its timber it is valueless for lumber
producing purposes for century.
That is the difference.

If the land lease advocates think
they are doing the Democracy ser
vice by denounclng an entire sectio n
as communists, 'fence-cutters"
and the like, they will find their mis-.
take at the polls. Northwest Texas
furnishes a large proportion of the
Democratic majority, and as they have
right to their opinion in the DISPOSE
ton to be made of the public lands
they do not relish the denunciation OF
such papers as the Examiner-and ii
the foolish, arrogant conduct of such
journals provokes disaffection that
will endanger the Democratic MAORI

for Democratic defeat. If the Exam.

ALI stockmen are not for free grass.
Many OF the most prominent OF them favor
tue lease ystem.-Waxahachle Mirror.
The truth is becoming known to the
lease-law advocates at last. "Promi-
nent" stockmen means wealthy
stockmen. These favor the leasing
system. L is the poor stockmen and
farmers out West who ask free grass,
as Central, North and East Texas had
it in the past. Free grass keeps the
family while the farmer plows up the
rain from the ground and develops the
agricultural capacity of the West.

was conducted in a manly way. He

City Council and the International Elk
position.

pOSltlUu,
The Endorsement by the city coun Gil
of Fort Worth of the plan for holding
an international live stock and wool
exposition at this point, in October
and November, 1887, begins to look as
if the hope that THE GAZETTE has
entertained of such II great good to our
city Is to be realized. Tie Wool
Growers association of Texas has in
dorsed the idea as one that must be
carried out. That association has great
weight, rs our state is the great wool
state OF the Union. A good strong
pull by our citizens will get the ex-
position under way The increase in
valuation of city property will be
enormous, from the time that the first
nail in the international exposition
building is driven. Our merchants
will find a steady increase in their
sales. People will continue coming in
increased numbers, and ere 1857, Fort
Worth will number 1880 The in-
creased valuation o. taxable property,
caused by an exposition, will give us
taxes sufficient to sewer the entire
city, within three years. The rate OF
taxation will be reduced as property
increases in value. Our suburbs will
soon call for annexation to the CITY.
The almost certainty of the extension
of the Santa Fe road will become an
absolute certainty, if 1t is known that
we are certainly going to have a
worlds fair. The Huntington system
Will then be forced to build to our city
from Waxahachie, ms it cannot longer
lose our trade. There will then be no
longer any delay in capitalists helping
out the Brentwood road by taking its
bonds, and that road will be built.
