The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1884-08-28

the whiskey ring. the navy ring, the
star route ring, the credit mobilier ring,
and all the rings that were forged by
Grant and his strikers were worn by the
fashionables OF Washington. Could you
not lend brilliant ray TO enllghten us
about the doings Of the Radical 'riDg'p"
Answering the Terrell Times In the
above. the LIGHT would say, that 1t is
now Incidentally engaged In trying to
cniiglhrn the public regarding the
Court House Democratic ring here, but
will have time to shed all the light pos
sibe ON any other ring, Democratic or
Republican.
In Is certain there are at least 10000
Democrats in Texas who are tired Of
wearing the CALLING yoke Of the machine
and also opposed to Governor Ireland's
reelection. Why should not men Of
this class cast their votes for the nom
inee of the Republican convention and
elect him Governor OF Texas? Nobody
except the managers OF the machine
would be damaged by smashing the ma
chine into fragments, and having a new
deck, a new shuttle, n new cut and
new deal. 1t Is notorious that hundreds
Of the ablest and truest Democrats In
the State are prescribed by the "ma-
chine" which controls the Democratic
party Of Texas-A. w. Terrell, Marion
Martin and Judge Flemming, all Demo-
Gratis, who oppose the lease law, all
Democrats, who favor the protection of
the wool interests OF Texas, are pro-
scribed by the machine Democrats who
are In control. Such mon should scorn
to play the part OF spaniels to the men
who spit upon them in the most con-
temptuous manner, and shut them out
from the honors and emoluments OF
Office merely foi the crime Of differing
from the bosses In one or two points.
"UNDER the protective SYSTEM" says
the Rochester Union, ''the manufacture
Of favored commodities was lucrative
employment and was eagerly pursued
until in 1882 the capital employed
amounted to $4,000, 223, 500, producing
goods to the value of S5,360, G67 FOG. The
result is that this enormous quantity Of
goods has not been consumed. Over
production has left immense stocks,
which even low prices cannot sell. 1t
would require each OF the 100000 vo-
tiers in this country to expend upward
Of $500 annually in manufactured goods
to consume the large stock" TO which
ha Neil fol
lows: "Grant that your figures are cor
rect; will free trade diminish that sur
plus? VIII 1t not enable English manu-
facturers to dump upon the American
market their own surplus and destroy
native industries which are giving en-
ployment to thousands Of workingmen
at better wages than are received in
England? Do you suppose that you will
get rid Of the evil of over-production by
abolishing the tariff? Over-production
is the standing grievance of English
manufacturers. They make every year
more goods than they can find market
for, and this explains why they are so
anxious to have Democratic President
elected In the United States. They want
to get back 50,OO0,OOO Of customers by
stamping out American competition
