thew can better themselves, especially
when it costs them only few dollars to
get there, and they have had a man ahead
TO spy out the land.
The only thing that really hampers our
industrial progress is the protective tariff,
which. by restricting foreign commerce,
throws our manufactures on the nome
market for support. Further, 1t teaches
our proprietors to rely for success on
fancy prices, rather than economy IN
management and excellence in product.
No industry can prosper under such
principle. The proprietors may indeed
quickly become millionaires, but the in
dustry will languish. Economy in man
agement does not imply cutting down the
wages of workmen; they cannot be had for
less than they are now paid, but the stop
page of big dividends on watered stock
and fancy salaries to useless officials.
Again. we are told that whatever the
| wrong and robbery may be, the tariff
must be maintained until the war debt is
paid, as the people would not endure
direct taxation. This, at best, is a dem
opogical view. but it is not true. Our
state, county and municipal taxes and a
large part of the federal are now direct.
There has been no mutiny about it. it
would seem that the people should prefer
! that fair, honest system to our indirect
tariff, the most unjust, burdensome and
corrupting of taxes; unjust because II
taxes the many for the benefit of the few;
burdensome because the favored few get
two dollars out of it t. the governments
one: most corrupting because 1t gives the
government the right to take money
from our pockets without our knowing
when or how much it abstracts. This Is
very dangerous power to give an agent.
The people would not for a moment
think of giving it to their state govern
ments: they would not rebel if the fed
eral government were deprived of the
| same.
The idea that the people would not sub
nit to quiet federal taxation implies that
they have no national patriotism; that
the national government to obtain sup
port must slip up on them, and rob them
unawares. Yet cannot but believe that
all legitimate federal dues levied directly
would be paid inst as cheerfully as rec
essary local taxes. But there undoubtedly
would be a protest against unjust charges
for the substituting of corporate and cap
italized interests; hence the ardor of cor
ruptionists for continued indirect taxa
ton. They well know that TO rob it is
best not to let the victim be aware of it
THE STATESMAN is a friend of the PEG,
pie. Will il please explain why it, in
common with many other honest papers
states so bluntly. that free trade IL i'm
practicable, thus virtually abandoning
the field to the robbers?

freight train on the Sunset, four miles
from San Antonio. where there was a thick

Ne. I. L. WREN was announced as an
independent candidate for the legislature
in July, but later, on the 31st of July. he
withdrew from the race. 10 his card of
withdrawal is found the following:
Il could not make a successful race
without support from elements in your
midst, and to secure whose support /
should have to conceal sentiments which
my conscience and mind approve
Mr.. Wren is again on the independent
ticket as a candidate for the same posi-
ton he then refused. One or two things
would follow. Either he has the "ele-
ments" all right, or his conscience is get
ting elastic and he can now conceal his
sentiments. We have learned of no radical
change among the voters, and it must be
inferred Mr.. Wcen's real sentiments will
not be made known in this canvass.

The san Antonio Express quotes You as
saying: We are all in favor of
free trade whenever it becomes practi
cable" l would like for The STATESMAN
to explain why it is impracticable. Our
natural facilities for the production of
almost every raw or manufactured pro-
duct are not equaled on the globe. Our
coal and ores are inexhaustable and, as
com pared with the European pits, on the
surface. Oar building material i abund,
ant, our food products cheap. With Us
forest looks On farm and farm smiles on
furnace and factory. Here are all things
needful in the hands of the most indus
trious and skillful of races. But in the
face OF all these natural advantages our
capitalists insist that they must have an
average bonus of forty per cent on their
product TO enable them to compete with
"pauper' labor. Any intelligent man
should know that this talk about the
underpaid labor of Europe as
compared with that of the United
States Is all nonsense. The labor
ers of Europe have their fathers,
brothers and sons in the mines and fac
tories of New England and Pennsylvania.
1t costs laborer less to get from Liver
pool to New York Or Philadelphia than it
does from either of those places TO St.
Louis. The equilibrium of condition IS
just as easily established between Europe
and the United States as between the
different states of the union. Anglo
Saxons have ever been wanderers and no
home tie will keep them from going where
