FORT WORTH'S ADVANTAGES.
The principal argument that has been
used by the friends of Houston in their
advocacy of that place as desirable
point for the ests blishment OF q refriger-
ator has been on account Of the cheap
freight rates that could be secured frsm
that point to the northern and eastern
markets on the dressed beef. Owing to
the operation of the interstate commerce
law, which permits railroads to make
rates from points where they will have
competition from steamship lines
to meet the steamship charges,
Houston, aud Galveston also, had sd1an-
tages in that respect which must be
| conceded; but the concession Of these ad-
vantages does not prove that either of
these places is best adapted for the es-
tablishment of q reirigerating plant, for
the reason that fat cattle would have to
be hauled long distances On the hoot from
the sections where they are raised, In
order to be slaughtered and shipped from
these coast points. The rates on cattle
tributary to Fort Worth, from which
the fat cattle would come, to supply g
packery at Houston or Galveston, would
have the same Objectionable features as
compared with e just rate on dressed
beef that the present rates to Chicago and
other northern markets for cattle on
the hoof have, in relation 10 what
would be proper charge for freight on
the dressed product. And il any benefit
is TO accrue to the cattle owner from the
saving on shrinkage by reason OF hsvirg
his cattle slaughtered near the point
where they are produced, how much
greater would the benefit be If the cattle
were slaughtered at Fort Wor b, where
they are raised, than If slaughtered at
Galveston, after trying shipment in the
cars!
Assuming that the dressed beef from .
refrigerator running st Fort Worth was
shipped via Houston to market, as cheap
rates could certainly be obtained for the
product from Houston to its destination
IS II it had originated at Hous-
ton, even though local rates might
be charged from Fort Worth to Houston
or Galveston. But the benefits to accrue
from saving OF shrinksgs snd from having
the animal killed without being bruised
and fevered by shipment to Houston or
Galveston added to the cost of shipment
on hoof would give the advantage to Fort
Worth.

There can

their support. There csn be
no doubt but that the Democrats Of Texas
would cheerfully suffer temporary in
jury provided that the burden is equally
distributed sround, but they will not
consent to haYe the wool growers Of
Texas singled out as oblstions upon the
altar Of tariff reform, when that reform
benefits no one but the manufacturers In
the east. Mr.. Mills eloquent and well
rounded periods condem0ing class legls-
l.ticn and Glass interests are in strange
contrast with his promise to marshal the
Democratic psrty in battle errsy against
any reduction on manufactured articles.
Mr.. Mills logic IS peculiarly lame also:
"He reviewed the history Of the tarif
from the first prohibitory acs Of 1924 to
the present day to show that the price Of
wool has gone down when it was pro-
tected and up when i. was free" II,
as Mr. Mills asserts, free wool means
s higher price for it, why does
be desire TO free Il? How can
an Increase in the price Cf wool result in
"chesp blsnkets"-the Democratic war
cry? The distinguished statesman Seems
to forget that the Democracy ia not en-
gsged in either bent fl ing or il airing the
wool producers primarily, but in en- efcrt
to put the chesp necessities in the hands
of the people, regardless OF class inter-
ests, whether that class be the morgan
lied sheepmen OF the country, or the Or
ganized wool manufacturers Of the cast.
II Mr.. Mills does not lead in other nat
tiers any better than he has done in this,
it is not to be won Tered at that he has
occasion to complain that the House does
not follow hin.

An Enolmous Coin Surplus.
CHICAGO Herald.


The Herald is in receipt of the Ucited
States Treasurer's reply to 3 question ad
dressed to the Secretary OF the Treasury
That Question was asked for the purpose
If sscertdining how much government
money is now in the vaults. The main
question WIS: Does paper money count
for anything after It reaches the govern
ment's strong box? II the Treasurer
receive $1,000 in taxes, $500 OF il in gold
and $500 in greenbEuka, does he count it
IS $500 on hand or as $1,000 on hand?
His answer seems to be clear that be
counts it as $1,000. The figures Of the
last statement show that CT 500, eco, 0C0
Gu hand only S28, 900 coo are in greer
backs, and only 500. 900 in national bank
notes. These sums seemed astonishing
| lg low to the Herald, and therefore the
inquiry. While we may suppose the pa
DE- currency 10 be one half OF the whole
volume Of money, We md only one-siX-
teenth of that paper element in treasury
which has nearly half the count1y's cur

II is, perhaps, unnecessary to s.6te

.THE Outside PUBLTC.

A Chicago dispatch reSds as fellows:
There has not been TINA In years when 8
dollar was as hard to make in the grain mar
kets as st present, aud what is more discour-
agiog Is that they are unable to see any imme
diate prospects for any improvement. The
"raEzle dazElss' Of the past year have been too

same story; That there WAS great de-
preston il stock speculation, only 8
