4 BOARD OF TRADE.

The necessity of Board of Trade for
Fort Worth has been urged by the press
of the city periodically for years, ard
without avail, and yet the need of q nu-
cleus for organized e fort in behalf CT the
city is not denied by any citizen. The
Merchants and Manufacturers Bureau
was the outcome of this demand, but,
while the wolk of the bureau
is bearing good fruit, and will bear
more in future, the requirement
of Fort Worth is for something more
comprehensive and pretentious. THE GA
zETTE is informed that 500, 600 are avail
able for the erection of building of four
stories with ell modern appliances, and
this building could be constructed with
reference to the tenancy Of the first or
second floor by the board.
At present the trade OF the city
will not justify a building devoted
purely to mercantile purposes, and the
rooms OF the board could be utilized in
addition as the assembly place of the
people converting to further the progress
CT the city.
A membership OF 100 at $40 per annum,
payable quarterly, would furnish all the
funds needed; or membership of 200 at
$40 annually, or OF 400 at $40 annually.
It would rebound to the general
benefit to make the membership
as large as possible, and it
cannot be impossible to End two hundred
citizens who will subscribe $40 annually,
payable quarterly, for the purpose OF Sc
curing to Fort Worth board of trade
and adding to ii & structure that will be
an ornament to the city and give an i'm
petus to the building boom.
The press can only urge this matter,
and it devolves On the people to say ii the
pressing need shall be supplied.

An Obi set Lesson In Revenue Reform.
PHILADELPHIA Re cord.

The history of the auinine duty affo cd 8
little object lesson which will bear re-
petition just at this time, when the organs
of tariff monopoly are filing the pub /;
ear with direful prophecies over the pro-
posed reform of the revenue laws. When
the resolution to repeal the duty on
quinine was introduced in the House in
1879 the wholesale price Of quinine was
upward of So 80 an ounce. The manu-
featuring chemists, their representatives
in Congress and their organs everywhere
raised a doleful cry over the proposed
repeal. 1t was predicted that the Ameri-
csn manufactures of quinine would be
closed, their workirgmen discharged, the
country "fIooded" with the cheap quinine
OF Europe, and that the price would rise
again after the foreign manufacturers
should have secured control OF our mar
ket. But the House, in an outburst OF
Indignation over what our esteemed
contemporary the Evening Telegraph
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1888-01-06

! Justly described as "blood,tax," passed
| the resolution OF repeal by large ma
jority.
| Since that time Quinine has gone down
in price. until it may now be bought for
ABOUT 30 cents an ounce. It's use has more
than doubled, and the American quinine
has not been driven from the market by
| the ''pauper" quinine of Europe. On the
contrary, the American quinine factories,
which were formerly limited to four, have
increased to ten or twelve, and the num-
| Der OF persons employed In the business
has largely increased with them. Yet
! such was the pref created by the cry
OF monopoly when this question was IN
der discussion that the Pennsylvania Med
| 1csl Association passed resolution
against q repeal of the quinine duty, and
after the duty had been repealed the pes
pie of an sgue- smitten district onSthe
Susquehanna actually sent representa-
tive of the monopoly to Congress 10 de-,
mand restoration of the duty
1t is quite true that the later stages ID
the decline CT the price of quinine have
not been wholly due TO the repeal of Ne
tax. The increase in the sources Of
supply by transpiantipg the cincnons
tree to the East Indies, the less wasteful
method Of securing the bark, and inn
proved processes of manufacture have aII
of course contributed to this result. But
the repeal of the duty caused the first
downward movement in price by breaking
up the monopoly in this valuable medi-
cine, and the consequence is that it is
now within the reach of the poorest OF
the fever stricken. The abolition of the
duty cheapened the medicine not only to
the poor Of this country, but the world
over, by putting it out of the power of
few to control it's production.
This lesson shows how little credit
should be attached to the prophecies OF
the organs of monopoly IN regard to the
effects of tariff reform. Every assertion
and prediction which they made concern
ing repeal of the duty On quinine they
are as Justify repeating now. This, how,
ever, is only single instance of the dis
grace OF their theories. The results Of
the tariff of 1916, during period of fit-'
teen years of unexampled industrial snd
commercial prosperity, refute them st
every point. Yet they 90 On asserting
and predicting just SIS if this period in
the country's history had been an utter
void.

SIBERIAN s PRONUNCLANENTO

/ Ii
Senator Sherman has taken occasion TO
air his views upon the tariff question in
the United States Senate, formally &C
cepting the challenge made by President
Cleveland in his late message to Con-
gress. Mr.. Cleveland presented the
question in concise, practical, business
like form, denuded of sprawllng surplus
age or soaring sentimentalism. He said
nothing new or strange or surprisipg-he
stated in a brief aud felicitous manner
the views and hopes of the Democratic
party since it's foundation. Mr.. Sherman
also has been peculiarly concise and
business-like. He presented no new
theories or facts; no new arguments or
reasons. lie simply repeated what has
always been the Republican doctrine,
modified slightly to concillate certain in
terests, and he presented his cause in q
statesmsnlike manner. Il is conceded
that no better fnancier can be found in
the country, certainly none in the Repub-
success in life is sn evidence of his abil-
tiles in this respect. There ere few more
formidable disputants than Mr.. Sherman
and siDgularly few upon the question OF
finance, which has engaged much OF MS
time and thought for many years. Mr..
Sherman may be said to speak for his
party and the contest for the next presi-
Dental offices may be considered out
lined. The bloody shirt may serve the
purposes of provlr cial aspirants to office,
but in the great contest coming the tariff
will be the only issue OF Importance. The
Democratic party dare not temporize or
evsde the issue. The issue is joined and
it must be decided on its merits. The
cool conservatism of the country favors s
reduction of the tariff, and led by the
Democratic party, will achieve victory.

CHINESE PENAL LAW.
A Severe Application of the Code to Unsuc
cessfal Ply sicians.


The Chinese penal code provides that
when an unskiliful physician, in admins
tering medicines or using the acupuncture
needle, proceeds contrary to tho estsb-
lished forms, and thereby causes the
death of the patient the magistrate shall
call in other physicians to examine the
medicines or wound. IL it appears that
the injury done was unintentional, the
practitioner shall then be treated accord
ing to the statute for acct
dental homicides, and shall not
be allowed any longer TO prsc-
tice medicine. Bat il he shall have de-
signedly departed from the established
forms, snd have practical deceit in his at
tempts to cure the malady in Or
der to gain property. then, accord
ing to its amount, he shall be trea.ed as
thief, and if death ensue from his NAL
practice, then for having thus used medi
cine with intent to kill he shall be be-
headed.

"GATH" has been ridiculing the Anglo.

"GATH" has been ridiculing the Anglo
maniac blubberings of Minister Low
ell, and in this pursuit he is eminently at
home. When he comes to figures and
facts, where the sarcasm of the young
polemic cannot serve him, he founces
around, lost in outer darkness. In
speaking of Lowell, Mass, he says, "It
runs 100000 spindles, employs Us, 900
hands and buys 10000 pounds Of cotton
annually" The cotton purchased would
make say 1900 bales, worth, at 8 cents a
pound, 100000. On this amount Of raw
material ne employs $4,000 hands.

THE GREER COUNTY QUESTION

THE GREER COUNTY QUESTION.
The proclamation issued by President
Cleveland warning people that the title
to Greer county was vested in the United
States will tend to settle that much veXed
question. II has been known that the
commission appointed by the federal
government to investigate and report On
the subject had not found, what a great
many maintained, that Texas had au-
thority to exercise proprietary rights
in the territory known as Greer county,
and that the titles given by this state
were valuable. THE GAZETTE published
the finding of the commission more than
q year ago, and while giving the news to
it's readers in good faith and without
other motive than to keep them Informed
upon this, as upon all matters Of public
interest, criticism of unusual severity was
heaped upon it by less enterprising
papers that had failed to secure the
information. As 8 matter of state
pride THE GAZETTE would like
to have this magnificent territory
added to Texas. It is surely q prize well
worth struggling for. In the interest of
the home seeker, Of squatters' rights, of
the man with the hoe or the man who
lives at the forks of the creek, it is IS
well, perhaps, that Uncle Sam has taken
charge. The value OF Greer county has
long been known and the land shark came
in early and secured apartments "on the
ground floor" Thousands of sections
were shingled over with claims and titles
OF one kind or another ard the develop
ment of this county was arrested. What
was of tantamount Importance to Texas
was the fact that the unsettled condition
Of land titles in Greer county was
accepted outside of Texas as sample
Of the land titles in all other parts Of the
state, and capitalists were disinclined to
risk their money in the state. The prom
inence given Greer county by Congress
was such that many people concluded
that what was tue in Greer county was
true all over Texas. 1t is not likely that
Congress will change the decision Of the
commission as shown by the Presidents
proclamation. The matter may, without

The Waco Examiner mentions a big
mosquito net as one of the chief wants OF
Dallas. We have not been in the town
since the state Democratic convention
met there in cotton pen nearly eight
years ago, and the mosquitoes there then
were multitudinous and hungry. They
invaded the hotels in sWarms thicker than
the locusts that overrun Egypt, and rev.
eled in e banquet upon the best blood oil
the state. Unless delegates can be pro-
tected against the blood sucking herd
another convention ought never to be
held in Dallas.

A SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITION.

The local columns of THE GAZETTE
yesterday gave detailed report of the big
elevator and Touring mill to be erected in
Fort Worth by Cameron & Tatum at 8
total cost of nearly 100000 The valu :
of such augmentation OF the city's manu-
featuring interests is self-eVident; and
the strengthening of Fort Worth as the
our-producing mart of North Texas by
this addition to it's milling capacity
will soon be apparent. But the
Significance of this acquisition
is not, thus, all told. MIR. William Cam
eron is gentleman Of recognized bust
ness acumen, of state wide reputation,
and with business connections covering
large portion OF Northern and Central
Texas. That such man, at this juno
ture, concentrates his capital and ener-
gies in Fort Worth is advertisement to
the public Of the deliberate judgment OF
one of the best known business men in
the state that Fort Worth presents the
most attractive field for the con-
centration of his capital and energies.
MT. Cameron has seen early what will
soon become plain even to the least dis
corning.
