The Chicago Inter-Ocean makes
good point against the free traders in
the following: 1.-The Iroquois Free
Trade Convention, now in session at
llayerly's, is not remarkable for num-
bers, but is made up Of good looking
set of men elegantly dressed, as BELTS
the guests of the "sllk stocking De-
mocracy. The bulk of them are out-and
out Democrats, which is eminently
proper. A few eminently respectable
| Republicans are participants, but they
look detected and badly out of place.
| There are none of them that look rs
though they could be classed as "slaves
Of monopoly" "a favorite term with free
traders, nor do they seem to have felt
the grievous oppression of protection to
any great extent. II any thing they are
better dressed and better up in ETH
quette and beles-lettres than any con-
vention that has assembled in Chicago
during the year. 1t would have paid
the leaders Of the enterprise to have
hired few horny-handed citizens in
common clothes to be present, If only
for appearance sake. People engaged
in mitigating the woes of the poor and
oppressed classes should not neglect
when appearing in public show some out
ward evidences of their sympathy with
the masses. The speeches were fairly
entertaining, and a good round lot of
figures, running up into millions and
billions, supposed to represent amounts
made to manufacturing monopolies"
by the poor and oppressed Taxpayers,
always called down the house with en-
thusiasm, and gave the speakers O
chance to take drink. The probabil.
titles are that the excitement will reach
climax, when the Rev. Henry Ware

trade than anything else except evolu
. ton, will give them touch OF his elo

TO TUE iIGHt There is n vast diff
ference between an honest, laborlng,
poor man. and the tramps, vagabonds
and communists that Horace Baker
would have excurted into Texas free.had
the ways and means been at hand. 1.-The
above is from the Laredo Times Ilor-
ace Baker is simply land agent, and no
one would for moment suppose that
he would 90 out and gather up lot OF
lmpecunious people and bring them to
Texas just out of pure charity. lie
wanted to sell lands, and he wanted II
simple endorsement for Governor Ire
land, but that gentleman to show his
contempt for poor people in general,
said: II have not thought it advisable
to set on foot emigration projects. am
not satisfied that such labor will re-
dound to the prosperity or happiness OF
ourselves or our children. Our descend
ents will be elbowing each other into
the seas in order to find standing room
In the near future. We have enough
population for self-protection and while
desire to see good men with vim and
energy come to our country. | am not
disposed TO AID persons who have not
the energy and push to come on their
own accord" Mr.. Baker simply wanted
u credentlal as to who he was, and did
not purpose bringing people to Texas
who were not able to pay their way, but
the Governor who wanted to 'indicate a
policy" must hint that no word OF the
resources and capabilities, the attrac-
lions and the benefits of Texas should be
advertised to people abroad, but if any
one wanted to know about it why he
would have to come and find it out fol
himself.

TIE general expressions Of sympathy
for Galveston. in her hour of need, and
the prompt subscription Of money Tor
her poor people throughout the state,
shows that there is great boon OF IRA
lernal feeling upon the part Of all the
people in the hour of distress. Distance
is annihilated, and all interests are for
gotten, save the one great call for com
fort ana sympathy. Galveston said she
could take care of their own uniortu-
nate people, but this is too much a
burden, and the great State OF Texas
cannot afford to let her have that honor,
and will see that ample funds are fur
nished to provide for the houseless and
keep them from want.
OS THE subject Of the cotton crop, the
New Orleans Times-Democrat says;
1.-THE report Of the National Cotton Ex-
change for October, fixes the present
crop at d, 1850. 2G5 bales while this Ia n
loss Of three.quarters Of million bales
from the earliest estimates made, 1t Is
still the largest crop with two excep-
tions. lSS0-Sl and 1852 SO, ever produced
and is more than half n million bales
greater than the average Of the last six
wears. There is nothing therefore to
feel very gloomy about, but something
perhaps to regret that the favorable
promise of the first three or four months
OF the season was not maintained. The
acreage il placed at l7.7li,IOO. an In
crease of q per cent over last year and
the largest amount Of land ever placed
in cotton. all Of it was in one plan
tation 1t would occupy an area equal TO
the state of South Carolina. But this
immense acreage constitutes but n very
small portion Of the cotton country less
thpn one-twentieth of the land suitable
for this great staple. The cotton crop
of Texas this year, although 1t does not
reach the 2.OOO,OOJ bales prophesied for
1t some months ago, will yet, II the
figure fixed by the National Cot
ton Exchange. l,ia3,5l0 bales, proves
correct, be the largest ever raised by a
single state. In the matter of the yield
per acre Louisiana still stands at the
| head Of the list, with n production OF
half bale to each acre under cultiva-
ton. which is little below the average
| while Texas Is second; having done
much better than hitherto in the yield
to the acre.

TIE financial policy of the city, as
discussed by Alderman Lockwood and
ex-Mayor French, is quite refreshing in
this that 1t shows up the true inward
ness of the rebate system on taxes and
the happy faculty OF borrowing money
from the bank to pay city current ex-
penses. Mr.. Lockwood's statement
looks like a revelation when he says
Mayor Callaghan came into office
without dollar In the treasury to pay
the current expenses of the city and a
debt Of S6l 900. Taxpayers will ponder
over these things and realize that the
city Ia continually borrowing from one
fund to pay another, and that the inter-
est on amounts borrowed from the
banks is quite neat little sum, being in
the neighborhood Of 5000 in conneotic n
with the rebate on taxes, and yet the
waterworks contract will take in, before
another year, sl7, 800 for fire plugs, be-
sides the extra charges for the parks and
repairs, being fully one-half more than
should be paid, but which is actually
squandered, in the face of the actual
needs and the barrenness OF the treasury

The San Antonio Gas Company, much
to their credit, have made three reduc-
tions in the price of that necessity with
in the last two years, and yet the price
is $3.50 per 1000 feet, less special reduc-
tions. The Water-works Company,
however, have not and do not make re-
auctions, but instead intimate TO any
patron who kicks, that he ought to be
thankful for what he gets, or the price
will be raised. The city will own the
works one of these days, and then there
will be fair charge all around.
