IAELIGhT CHIRPS.

The sheep-shearers who come over
from Mexico, every spring ana fall,
have a regular circuit they travel
shearing sheep on this side of the Rio
Grande. They are not imported I'M
der contracts made by sheep owners.
1t is true, they generally come across
under captains, as they call them, but
the captains themselves are Mexicans.
1t is difficult to see how the sheep of
western Texas could be sheared if the
MeXicans did not come across and do
the work. Americans cannot be found
to do the shearing, hence the Mexican
labor, in that line, does not come in
competition with that OF American
workmen. 1t would be pretty heavy
strain on the alien contract labor law
to apply its provisions to rowing bands
OF Mexican sheep-shearers.- An
tonic Times.
Chow is it the Times defends the
importation Of foreign labor on our
southern border and not on the
northern San Antonio LIGHT.
Why does the LIGHT lie? is it be-
cause is natural, or because it suits
its purpose? The LIGHT knows the
above i base, willful and malicious
falsehOoI The Times never defended
the importation Of foreign contract
labor anywhere" - San Antonio
Times.
THESE Mexicans are imported for
eign llbOrers. The Times defends
their importation and is convicted out
of its own mouth. Now, who has
lied? Whom the gods destroy they
first make mad.n Convicted on one
count, Jhe Times lodges the other
questions, viz: Why does it not ad.
vocatr the suppression of gambling
Why did it not howl about the May
or's answer? Why does it never
mentiat the cowardly falsehOod on
the corner stone of the city hall? Lei
the FINE, stick TO the issue and KEEP
on its neither garment. The editor o.
the Times will appreciate the follow
ing from Holy Writ: "Out of thine
own mouth, will L judge thee, thou
wicked servant"

PEDDLER VERSUS MERCHANT.
The Merchants Mail, the organ of
the retailers, published in Albany,
n. Y, has very timely article in its
issue of september 9th, on the duty
of the daily press, to sustain the trade
press in it's effort for the protection of
the regular merchants and adverti-
sers. 1t cites the evils and the inc
qualities of the situation, and calls
upon the daily press to make common
cause with the mercantile press in
warning against the evils complained
of. These are the efforts of large
manufactures to supplant local trade
by doing a retail business through
peddling agents who visit the interior
towns and cities and sell from door tC
door. The concerns pay no rent, nc
clerk hire, so far at least as their re-
tail sales are concerned, they pay NJ
fuel, no gas bills, no taxes beyond the
small license, state and municipal
that may be required and consequent
| ly are enabled to undersell the
regular retail dealer and very ma
terially cripple his business. Tina
this condition of things initiate,
against the daily press as well a.
against the retail dealers there can b,
no question. These peddlers, whether
selling on their own account or on &C

which they are merely the agents, d,

institutions. There are men, and
numbers of them in every city, who
while doing business in those cities
and drawing every dollar OF their rev.
enues from their investments and
business there, make most of their
purchases abroad and build up the
trade of foreign cities at the expense
of their own. These men, like John
Chinaman, are q constant drain
upon the resources of the COM
munities in which they live,
and drawing everything from home
they expend it abroad to the detri-
ment of home trade. These men are
of no practical value in building up
business or increasing the trade Of the
cities in which they live. In their
way they are like the manufacturers
who sell goods not to the trade, but to
consumers direct through agents and
con tlnually take from the commune
ty without giving anything in return.
It is we'll to discriminate against these
leeches and by an intelligent under
standing of the situation patrOnize
only such manufacturers and dealers
as are an integral part of home trade
and aid in supporting our home insti-
buttons. The manufacturer, who sells
to the trade and literally advertises
his goods through the daily press, is
not to be confounded with the manu-
facturer who sells direct to the con-
sumner and bears no part of the burden
of supporting the community or COM
munities from which he draws his
profits. 1t is true, the direct consum-
or may secure his supplies little
III of "a 10 nj
trade, but he more than loses this in
the added burdens he is obliged to
bear, because the man from
whom he buys pays no part of the
burden of sustaining the munich
pal government, the churches and
schools, or the business institu-
tons of the community. The tailor
in New York who makes the clothes
of San Antonio business man pays
no part of the municipal or educa-
tional burdens of this city and yet he
takes from the pocket of the San An
tonic tailor that much of his legiti-
mate profit, without lessening the
burdens of that tailOr's taxes, rents
and other expenses. Just so the
manufacturer who sells direct to the
consumer takes from the retail deal
er his profit, and while taking away
from the resources of those who
maintain home institutions returns
nothing in lieu thereof. The retailer
who advertises and so aids in main
tanning the home press is entitled to
the defense of the press, as is also the
who dealing with the
trade not only advertises as q manu-
tacturer but aids in creating adver-
tIsement for the retailer as well.
are nterdependent.
Their interests are mutual. The re)a-
ton of the daily press to the advertiser
is one of mutual interest. And the
daily press is only acting in conformi-
ty with a Legitimate self-interest in
those who act as leeches
upon home institutions and give
nothing in return for the trade privi-
leges they enjoy. The peddler nuis-
ance may be avoided by high Ii
cense tax which will act practically
to offset the rent paid by legitimate
trade. The other, by educating to
real appreciation Of home industries.
