lief, beautiful water, delightful scenery and
FREQ board-which was o welcome boon
after our Austin experience, at the charm
ing little city Of San Marcos, just thirty
miles from Austin, on the International and
Great Northern railroad San Marcos is
the capitol of Hays county, has thrifty
population Of about $500, nestled OF the
base and on spur of the Blanco mountains,
and ia famous for It's SO hataqua Hill" and
San Marcos Springs"-the source OF the
wonderful river of the same name. Ono

n more remarkable river than the San Mar

color and delicacies Of shades and tints OF
aquatic vegetation than can be seen deep
down In this lucid reservoir of wonders, be-
yond the power Of pom to portray. Inc
water gushes from the base OF the noun
tains, forming at once lake covering TWO
aores. from ton to fifteen feet in depth, suf-
fic,ent to Hoat O steam boat. At the foot OF
the lake are the falls over which the water
dsshes in foaming frantic glee, forming a
river from thirty to forty yards wide and
from fifteen to thirty feet deep. The waters
Of this lake and river ore clear, but are OF
innunerable tints of color, and are filled
with water plants of thousand fantastic
shapes and hues, which can be seen clear
and distinct at depth of fifteen or twenty
feet. Deep in this water paradise myri-
ads of fish lazily swim and feed, unmindful
of the tempting bait placed almost in their
wide open mouths. The fish look pro-
voking, refusing as they do to nioole al

trailing vine, creeping upward, finds some
half hidden tree top around and over which

IF NOT FREE TRADE, WHAT Is TT

The Democracy are trying to hedge on the
tariff question. AS the end of the debate APP
proaches, and the defeat of the Mills bill is
more clearly foreshadowed, the advocates of
ing cause with new pleas and subterfuges.
The latest Of these is q fat denial that they
are in favor of free trade. Finding that the
name and the doctrine are hateful to a large
majority of the people, they are claiming that
the Democratic party does not favor free
trade. All they are aiming at is a reduction
of the revenue and "tariff reform" The
Mills bill. they say, is not a free-trade bill,
but distinctly recognizes the doctrine of pro-
lection. Thus one of the free-trade organs
says: eff there is anything notorious about
the Mills bill, it is that its reformation of the
tariff is from a protectionist stand point, pure
and simple, in its every proposition" This
will be news to the author of the bill and to
extreme free-traders, like Mr.. Car
Isle, Henry George and others who
support ii. 1t is true that the Mills bill does
not abolish all duties, and it even makes a
show of increasing some; but it is essentially
a free-trade measure, framed in the interest
of that policy and so understood by all its in
telligent advocates. 1t makes a test question
of wool, and puts that on the free list Free
wool is the central idea and keystone of the
whole bill. and its author and supporters
would yield everything else before they would
that. The real animus and object Of the bill
appear in its treatment of wool. on which the
duty is not reduced nor modified. but wholly
repealed. This is free-trade pure and simple,
and If the same treatment was not applied to
other articles it was only because the
trainers of the bill were afraid to develop the
Democratic plan Of campaign all at once.
Free wool is the entering wedge, the tip end
of the free-trade camel's nose, which once ad-
mitted viii soon be followed by the whole an
imal. humps and all.
This attempt to disguise the character
Of the Mills bill and to conceal
the Democratic position on the tariff
question il a false pretense and an eff
fort to deceive the people. The real issue is
not reduction of the revenue nor revision Of
the tariff, but free trade VS.. protection. It is
not a question Of detail but of principle. The
Republican party stands for the American
idea of protecting American industries pre-.
serving American markets for American
labor and maintaining good wages for Amer
lean workmen, and it favors q revenue system
that viii accomplish this by discriminating
against forsiga manufacturer at avery point
