wholesome and Efficient Discipline R.,r
Our Infant Industries.
President Cleveland directs the at
tention of Congress to the fact that
competition is strangled among our
domestic producers by combinations
quite prevalent at this time, and fire.
quently called trusts. from which the
people can scarcely look for any con-
sderation. He forcibly observes that
the necessity of combination to main
tain the price of any commodity at
the tariff point furnishes proof that
some one is willing to accept lower
prices for the commodity and that such
prices are remunerative.
To the minds of statesmen it may,
perhaps. seems better to allow these
trusts to go on to their legitimate re-
suit. thus insuring a reaction that
will make a general reform not only
possible but certain. But if on the
contrary. it should seem wiser and bet
ter to attempt to apply a remedy to
the system, very simple one sug-
gests itself The trusts, as rule, are
nothing more nor less than infant in
dustries, which have developed certain
eccentricities in consequence of Gov
eminent stimulation. To withdraw
the stimulant ends the trust and re-
duces the infant ward OF the Govern
ment to docility.
Let us suppose a sugar trust as an
example Under Government stimu-
lation it is enabled to force ninety
per cent. of the firms and companies
in its line into a consolidation under a
single management. 1t can thus defy
all the laws of trade and exact such
prices as it pleases until the protective
tariff limit is reached. But if the fos-
tering Government, on evidence that
an infant industry was demeaning it
self thus under the effect of Govern
mont stimulation, should take away
| the stimulant by suspending the pro-
tective duty, the consumer could buy
his goods where he could get them
cheapest and the trust would be rem
dered harmless.
If on proof that thirty per cent. or
sixty per cent. or ninety per cent. OF
the companies engaged in protected
industry had formed pool combina-
| ton or trust, the Secretary Of the
| Treasury were authorized by a pre-
scribed time-law to cease collecting,
| during a prescribed time, the tariff-taX
protecting that industry, pools, COM
| binations and trusts would soon be-
come as odious to protected industries
as they are to consumers. 1t is not
! going too far to say that such a law
would force genuine competition in
nearly every line of protected manu-
facture The remedy is beautifully
simple. The objection to it is that it
is homeopathic in the sense of curing
like with like. If however, the Gov
| erument is fOrced to continue to pro-
| tect these infants, it is certain that it
will be compelled to interfere to dis
| cipline them.-iSG. Louis Republican.

1t is a significant fact that most of the
women vino have achieved fame in art, lit
erature, or AFFAIRS have enjoyed vigorous
health. This shows that the mind is never
capable of the severe and continued applica-
ton necessary to creative work, unless the
body is at it's best. The woman who aspires
to fill an exalted place among her associ-
ates must be free from nervous debility and
female weaknesses. DR.. Pierce's Favorite

EMPEROR WILLIAM OF GERMANY.

A great light has gone out in Europe.
Emperor William, who with frame of iron
has for ninety years defied the destroying
touch of time, has at last yielded up the
struggle and fallen before that sickle that
must sooner or later cut down all man
kind. He was noble gentleman, an heroic
monarch. Known rs the "amiable king"
of Prussia, he has for seventeen years
proven good claim to that title as en-
peror of Germany. He has had for his
right hand man of iron purpose and
answering will, and to him undoubtedly
he owes very much of the dignity
and power his empire has attained;
but to William, the emperor, be
longs the credit of having stayed
his realm in peace, when the crusty
and crafty Bismarck would Oftime5 have
plunged it into war. He has always been
known and loved as kind and iadulgent
emperor, peace loving yet proudly in
dependent sovereign. He Escended the
throne of Prussia January ?, 1861, and at
the close OF the great Franco-Prussian
war he became, on January IS, 1871, the
mperor of the great confederation of
Germany. Since then the historic events
of his reign are green in the memory of
all. There was no ruler of this generation
so respected, honored and revered as En-
peror William. He was held in the eye
of his people as their puissant, yet kind
and considerate lord. His death is blow
to the empire of Germany, and what
events may quickly tread upon the time
of his demise no one can forecast.

CLASS INTERESTS.

While vast and varied interests are
knocking at the doors of congress seek
ing to control its action, each in the quest
of its own good, regardless of the others,
the inquiry becomes pertinent what are the
relations to each other and the compar
alive financial power of these different
interests.
The total property valuation of the
United States Is about fifty billions.
Of this prodigious sum the total capital
invested in railroads, according to so
good an authority as Poors Manual,
is eight and a half billions in round
numbers, or about one-sixth of the whole
sum total valuation. The amount in
vested in farms is about fifteen billions,
while that of manufactures about which
so much fuss has been, made, doesn't ex
coed three billions. Or more compactly
stated:
Farming interests Sl5OOo, OOOOO
Railroads ......'....... ................ e,Jn,WOUO
Manufactures ...................... 3,0OO,OOO0O0
Now, these figures. show there Is five
times more capital invested. in farming
than in manufactures, and yet the latter
has for the last twenty years claimed
a monopoly of governmental protection.
All these big interests alike help to support
the government, and they are entitled to
equal protection from the same This
result, however, is not the case as is
proven by the records of federal legisla
ton for the last quarter of a century.
These show that not only have the benefits
of government been unequally distributed
where its burdens we're the same, but at
least one of the great Glasses of interests
the farming-has been Disseminated
against as in favor of manufactures.
The above figures suggest the injustice
of such legislation and the late tariff pro-
mitigation does not tend to shift that onus
of false discrimination from the shoulders
of our congressional solons. When will
all classes of property have equal justice
done them?

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
AUSTIN AND THE STATESMAN.

To those gentlemen who do not think
The STATESMAN fills the measure OF
newspaper according to the standard they
have erected, we have this to say
Whether it be good, bad or Indifferent,
The STATEsMAN is a far better newspaper
than the patronage it receives 1ustihes,
and, we will add, there are only two
ways by which The STATESMAN will i'm
prove its newspaper service; the stock
holders must put up the cash to
do so or the people of Austin must accord
it a more liberal support.
For more than month we have been
working to issue an illustrated special
immigration edition. our representa-
tives have canvassed various cour ties in
the state and have received generous
encouragement. In Burnet county alone
five thousand copies of that edition have
already been sold. In the city of Austin,
after fair canvass has been made, we
blush to write it, less than five hundred
copies have been sold. With few notable
exceptions when canvassers called 10
solicit orders for copies of the special
edition. they were generally told to 'call
again" Perhaps if some publication out
side of the state, that has no interest in Aus
tin or Texas, that never published line
for Austin or Texas should undertake the
work The STATESMAN now has in hand, the
result might be different. Notwithstand-
ing these facts, in few days we will issue
and distribute the full edition as hitherto
contem plated, and it will contain an
elaborate statistical and historical re-
view of Austin and Travis county.
This is the home of The STATESMAN, and
we propose to do our share towards telling
the world of our great resources, advan-
tages and attractions, and for our reward
will accept the consciousness of duty per
formed This will be rather thin cruel,
for the support of a newspaper, but, if it
is the best Austin can afford, THE STATES
MAN will not complain.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-03-15
THE DOCTORS AND THE ASYLuMS.

The resolutions adopted by the Austin
District Medical association at its meet
ing, Thursday evening" concerning the
lupatic asylum and other eleemosynary
institutions, were evidently founded on
sound judgment, experience and prac-
tical knowledge of the wants of those in
stitutions.
The resolutions endorse the idea here
tofore, and on more than one occasion,
advanced by this paper, that the
tenure of Office, especially of the
superintendent of the lunatic asylums,
should scarcely be restricted to two years,
but the incumbents be subject to re.
moyal for cause only. As is very truth
fully stated in the resolutions, the position
should,like that of professor in the State
university, be put as far beyond the reach
of politics as possible. The biennial
change of management of the Lunatic
asylums is liable at any time to be die
tated by partisan instead of scientific or
humane considerations, destructive of pop
ular confidence in this important in
stitution, no less than injurious to
the unfortunate patients themselves.
A change in the law, as suggested in the
resolutions of the doctors, would evidently
be to the interest of the lunatic asylums.
First of all, men should be selected who
have made insanity life study. They
should be educated, cultured physicians of
ability, honor and experience, who could
win and retain the confidence and esteem
of the patients and all connected with the
asylums, as well as command that of the
people of Texas, to whom the asylums
belong.
Such men should be given the manage
ment of the asylums during good behavior.
Each should feel it was his home in which
he could take pride. If the two lunatic
asylums of Texas were conducted upon
this basis, they would be run more
smoothly, with less trouble to the state
and with better results to the unfortunate
patients there immured.
