Alexandria Compress and Warehouse
Company.


The undersigned respectfully calls
the attention of the producers and
buyers of cotton to the following SUI
perior facilities offered by the above
company for the COMPRISING, storage
and handling of cotton.
A large and finely constructed COM
press building, connected with covered
yards, supplied with large cisterns and
an elevated tank, kept constantly filed
with water by means of steam pump
from a we'll on the premises, with a
a supply of hose sufficient to reach ev-
cry part of the property in case of fire;
thereby enabling the company to OBJ
tain the lowest rates of insurance.
Reliable watchmen are on duty at
all hours, both day and night. The
side tracks of the Texas and Pacific
and the Southern Pacific railroads pass
in close proximity to the platforms,
thus avoiding drayage to or from the
warehouse.
Charges for storage, handling and
COMPRISING cotton will be as reasona-
BILE as those of the most favored mar
kets of the country.

with less than he now gets for his
days work by exchanging.
The 1000, 900 free and independ-
ent farmers are a II TO Protec-
ton, a thorn in the side of the mill
owners. Their surplus must be
sold abroad, and their payment for
it must be brought into the country.
The object of the tariff is to drive
them from the farms and into the
mills, where 9O5, 900 protected
American workmen are now trying
to compete with foreign paupers,
making foreign pauper products.
If it succeeds it will drive mill wages
down to the European, if not to the
Asiatic limit. Men must then work
at any wages offered by the mill
owners
The tariff has no other object.
1t is for Protection-the protection
of the mill owner-not for revenue.
When our agricultural surplus is
destroyed by the monstrous tax now
levied upon it, when all Americans
now selling their products in foreign
markets are confined to the Ameri-
can market, when all our workmen
now making surplus for sale abroad
are engaged III competition with
foreign paupers and trying to make
what they now get in exchange, we
shall be ready for free trade, the
Protectionist tells us.
Yes. But not a ship would then
bring into an American port one
dollars worth of foreign goods.
Having nothing to sell we would
have no payment to receive. We
would be so poor that we could nei-
Their buy nor sell, having no surplus
to sell or with which TO buy. When
a country has no longer a surplus
to sell the mission of a protected
tariff is ended. 1t has destroyed
the surplus, made an increase in
wealth impossible and may be rolled
up and laid away.-Ncw YorZ
