A CALL
For a Convention OF Texans Interested in
Developing the Manufacturing and Ner-
camille Interests OF the State.

FORT WORTH CHAMBER OF CoMMERcE)
SECRETARY OFFICE. :
FoRT WORTH, TEX, Aug. q, 1880. }
A convention of delegates from trade
anu manufacturing organizations, munic-
qualities and people interested in devel-
oping the manufacturing and mercantile
interests of Texas has been called to
meet in Fort Worth on September "a,
1890, for the purpose of devising ways
and means to induce capital to seek our
state and accomplish this object.
The advantage to accrue to the people
of Texas by having our raw material,
found in endless quantity in this state,
manufactured into merchantable COM
modities must be patent to every mind
that has given the subject careful con-
sideration. Manufacturers are disposed
TO com, to our state, capitalists are ia
vorably disposed, but there has been no
united action to place before them the
facts about our resources and the vast
field open TO them and wholesale mer-
chants. This convention Is called to
meet the demand made upon the state.
1t is proposed to have Eastern and
Northern manufacturers and capitalists
present at our deliberations. Governor
Ross has expressed a willingness to CO.
operate in the matter.
To this end you are cordially invited
and requested to send one or more dele
gates from your organization, munich
pality or county to this convention.
Efforts will be made to arrange with the
railway companies for reduced rates to
delegates and others who attend. AS
the time is short we respectfully urge
immediate action and request that you
send to the secretary of the Fort Worth
chamber of commerce the names of
those selected to represent you IN the
convention.
K. NJ. VANZANDT, President.
f. S. BIDEN, Secretary.

THE BRITISH IN EGYPT.

Egypt "has not sufficiently pro-
crossed, :" IN the opinion of the English.
to warrant the withdrawal of the British
garrison kept there since the fall of
lsman. OF course not, and perhaps
never will. The sort of progress that
will dispense with British military sup
port is beyond the reach of the Egypt
ians so long as that country can be of
any service to Albion. Salisbury and
the rest of them are skilled in the order
of craftsmanship that best knows how to
prevent such hopeful and heaIthful pro-
gress. They can be depended on to keep
the situation sufficiently muddled to
afford ample pretexts for continuing
the protectorate, and maintaining
strong garrison there. Besides
has not Christian England charged her
self with the herculean task of civilizing
the Soudan, Outstanding the natives,
and uprooting the traffic in slaves? How
can she accomplish these phila nthropio
undertakings without having Egypt and
the Nile as q base of operations? Clear
", tie question is ridiculous. Then, too,
there is the Suez canal, which she owns
and controls. Can she afford to with
draw her arms from Cairo and
Alexandria and leave that impor-
tant interest and strategic point
to the protection of Turks and Arabs
who care nothing for England or
her property? Another ridiculous ques-
ton. No. Egyptian progress will
have to do wonders before England will
withdraw her helpful hand and allow
Khedive Tewtk to rule alone.

MoEINLEY'S DEMAGOGUER y

M'EINLEY'S DEMAGOGUER
When Mai. Mckinley congratulates
his Buckeye hearers, as he does in all his
stump speeches to them, on the fact that
Europeans are very much worried by his
tariff bill, is he doing a prudent thing?
The government, through its ministers.
is endeayoring at present to obtain re-
taxation of the French and German de-
crees against American meat products,
and to that end must necessarily pursue
conciliatory and friendly policy. Can
it do 30 to any purpose when the high
priest of protection goes about exulting
which his bill has produced
among those same French and
Germans, as though they were
nveterate enemies of ours, whose plum
dering and ravaging designs upon US he
had checkmated by clever bit of tariff
strategy. VIII his taunts and cries of
exultatlon over fancied victory induce
him TO be more gracious towards us, or
will they become more obstinate than
ever?
What would Mr.. Mckinley or any
other American citizen think and feel If
the case were reversed, and he had to
endure the taunts of Ministers Caprivi
and Ribot over clever coup made
against US? 1t is after all lit tie less than
Y-i1 20 Arnn
going about rejoicing over the
fact that he has made it well
nigh impossible for foreigners to sell US
their productions. He reiolces because
he has discovered what they don't want
done, and then did it. The sum of his
craftsmanship touching trade relations
is, to find out what the enemy wants
you to do, and don't do it with ali your
might. That may be good enough gen.
eralship in war, but what sort of states
nanship is it IN the economic affairs of |
peace? Lootlng and burning property Is
allowable in war, but not in peace. Be- |
sides foreign people that ask for liberal |
trade relations with US, are not enemies |
of ours, as Mr.. Mckinley seems to think. |
The man who sells a farmer horse is as |
great, yea, greater enemy, for the |
farmer has it in his power to breed and |
rear horses himself as legitimate part |
of his business. There is nothing inim-
zeal in the natural and unrestricted trade |
relations that ought to subsist between
nations. The victory gained by obstruot-
ing and embarrassing these relations is |
barren and fruitless one, mockery and
a delusion.
Mr.. Mckinley probably knows this,
but chooses to utilize it as campaign bum
combe on the stump. In other words, he
is not above playing the role Of the artful
demagogue.

The spendthrift Congress.
Albany IN. " Argus.


In his long and honorable public ca
reer the Hon. Joseph d. Say srs of Texas
has performed many services to the peo-
pie, but none SO signal as his powerful
statement of the condition of the finances
of the government, delivered last week
In congress-. As member of the COM
mittee on appropriations, MIR. Sayers for
wears has been familiar with the expen-
ditures and income of the nation, and
under his sledge hammer facts the apol-
ogies of Allison and Cannon for Republic
can. extravaganza break into bits. ''lf
the majority in this house, said Mr..
Savers, "shall not be changed in the
coming elections the people will be in a
pitisble condition indeed. For should
you gentlemen continue in the control of
this house, holding as you will the entire
framework of the government in your
hands, there will be left but little Of liz
erty end property to the people
by the time your administration
will have expired. I acknowledge
that there will be Teasing
and mu sic and mirth in the mansions of
those who have grown rich and powerful
under the MANAGEMENT OF the fiscal affairs
of the government, but In the homes of
those who earn their bread by the sweat
of the face there will be no gladness
whatever.
Mr.. sayers shows that the appropria-
tions already made amount to S423 ,000,-
900, and that SAG, 900, 200 must yet be
voted. Against this expenditure of
S469, 900 600, which does not include
S3s, 500 900 for deficiencies. there is an
available revenue of $3.50 900, 200 as es:i-
mated by the secretary of the treasury,
leaving a balance against the govern
ment of SIS, 900, 900 as the result of
Republican rule. Mr.. Sayers' speech is
an arsenal of facts for the Democratic
newspapers aud Democratic speakers and
q stern reality for voters to face all
through the country. The exposure was
bound to come.

Money Stringency.

Editor Gazette.
Please solve for Democrat this conun-
drum:
If the whole machinery OF the United
States government must be put in motion
to "relieve' New York city business
men, then how long will it be before IN
successful business men in other cities
discover a "stringency' needing UncIs
Samuel's help? How long before the
farmers, the manufacturers, will dis
cover 'stringency?" II New York,
then why not tho farmers? IL either
why not relieve your pocket stringency

Clearly, sir, it seems to me that both
president and cabinet are making q ludi-
crous exhibition of stupid partisanism IN
this effort to placate New Gork
business men. If that body oil
business men bankrupt business,
and are short of money, then
1t should not be permitted 10 place It's

selves to Grapes-Ths IdIewllds to
Give Grand Ball.

Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, Sept. l5.-Last night
Leo Lane, Walter Burton and George
Mcneil, aged fourteen, sixteen and thir-
teen respectively, were arrested after
hot chase by Detective Kirby and Pa
trolmen Pegues and Alexander for bur-
glary. These boys were seen by Mr..
Scott to break a window glass at the
front of NJ. d. Darlington & Co.'s store
and take from the inside two baskets
of grapes. Mr.. Scott took after the
boys and ran them by Officers Pegues aud
Alexander, who also started in pursuit.
The boys separated, but were soon all
overtal- n and lodged in the city Jail.
This 10 Jrning their case was transferred
from the city to the county court.
On next Saturday night there will be
concert at the opera house for the benefit
of the G. A. r. monument fund. An
interesting and extended programme has
been arranged.
During the fair the Idlewild club of
this city will give grand ball. Presi-
dent Armstrong of the fair association
has rendered the club the use of the
music hall for the occasion, aud the same
has been accepted. The ball is expected
TO come off during the stay in this city of
ex-President Cleveland and his wife and
no pains will be spared to make it the
grandest social event ever had in the
state and will be in no wise connected
with the fair management.
The city schools opened to-day with
very large attendance, and the number
will be further augmented to- morrow
by the admission of the Hebrew children
who did not start to-day on account of
the Jewish holiday. Many of the school
rooms are already over crowded, and at
the council meeting on Wednesday night
further provisions for room will probably
be made. Seveuty-six teachers are now
employed, and more may have to be
added.
Dallas is following the lead of other
Texas cities in the substitution of cleo
tricity for the mule, as a street car
motor, and in few months this city will
have as good system of street raIlways
as any city in the state.
The opera season has closed at the Oak
Cliff pavilion, and Tomorrow night the
Brown s. Ellis standard dramatic COM
panY open the house with the Cricket of
Leave Man.
w. H. Masters, general ticket agent
of the Santa Fe, arrived in the city this

GRANDMA HoAR sees constitutional Diff
fioulties in reciprocity, but can see moth
ing whatever out of the way in using the
taxing power of the government TO build
up New England manufacturers. Gen.
uine reciprocity is free trade, or re-
turn to the free and unrestrained opera
ton of the natural laws of trade. AS
that would benefit the masses of con-
sumers instead of handful Of Eastern
millionaires, it is, in Hoar's opinion, IN
constitutional. If it would enrich any
one IN his immediate neighborhood, or
insure his success in politics, Hoar would
say things equally as ridiculous and abb
surd of the decalogue and the golden
rula

THERE is almost as much antagonism
between the house and senate as though
they were controlled by different parties.
The senate amended the silver bill to the
extent of giving us free coinage, which
was afterwards modified, or rather killed
in conference. 1t also amended the Nc
KInley bill by injecting into 1t q modi-
cum of Blaine's bogus free trade elixir :,
which the house on Saturday objected to
by an adverse vote. What the fate of
reciprocity will be in the conference
committee is. hard to tell. But if Reed s
Col. Blaine's fad will be knocked into
kingdom come.

of the world for each week, aud is filled
with choice literature and miscellaneous

Hamilton had gone out hunting alone
several days before. Green made up
party and started to find him about
thirty miles from the ranch. He had

AFTER all has been said of Reed g VIC
tory over Blaine in the late contest in
Maine, 1t must be confessed that Blaine
was much less injured than the friends
of Reed would have us believe. In real

dog fall. Blaine opened the fight some
weeks ago in an effort to modify the tar
if bill by hitching on reciprocity an

the senate to overcome Reeds opposition

a triumph over the other Maine man.

JUDGE CALHOUN president, of the

clared unequivocally the other day in an
extended speech to the convention that
the purpose of that body was to restrict
as far as possible political franchise to
the negro. The admission will of course
cause few Northern hypocrites to look
heavenward and throw up their hands in
holy horror, but no one cares for them
any more. 1t is no longer fashionable
for puritanical bigots to burn people for
imaginary causes.

A MANUFACTURES of wooden goods at
Philadelphia says, in an article published
in the American Wool Reporter, that
an American weaver can weave 100 yards
of wooden goods In week. At the
present rate Of duties, to say nothing of
the very considerable increase afforded
by the Mckinley bill, the amount of
protection on the 100 yards is s6s. so,
while the wages of the weaver is S12,
leaving q balance of protection of S57 80
for the manufacturer. This Is how the
benefits OF protection are applied to the
wages OF labor, about which We hear SO
much at election times. The employer
of weavers pays their wages out of the
amount of protection granted him for
that purpose, and has FIVE times as much
left for himself.
