Distinguished Visitors.

1t was understood and so reported
by us that Gen. Jas. S. Hogg and the
other state Democratic candidates
we're to speak here last Saturday, and
this brought in the rank and file OF
the county Democracy from every
q larter of the compass. Unfortun-
ately Gen. Hogg had been called to
Wa, h ngton City on important bust
ness for the state, in pursuance of his
duties as attorney general, so could
not be present. But our people were
consoled by the appearance of Messrs.
William B. Workman and John d.
Mccall, candidates respectively for
state treasurer and comptroller. These
gentlemen delivered effective addresses
at the opera house in the afternoon
and made splendid impression. 1t
is not that they are orators. One can
hardly call them that, although both
made interesting speeches, replete
with COOL sense and sound as De-
mocracy could make them. They give
us rather an idea of brainy men of bust
n ess clear headed as well as strong
minded-the very men to manage the
vast financial system of the State of
Texas, with all its responsibilities, and
never stagger under the burden. The
audience applauded them tc the echo.
Hon. w. l.. Campbell was afterwards
called upon and spoke in his usual
strong and stirring style.
Nc all and Workman differ from
Ger n other of our candidates in one
respect, and have every reason to feel
pro I'd of the fact. They did not rush
10 high prominence and position upon
a sudden, perhaps ephemeral, wave
of popularity. Though both are
young, they owe their eminence to
al hful toll for the state in subordinate
positions, throughout many years.
Step by step they rose, owing no thing
to influence and everything to their
own energy and marked ability, until
the people of Texas, approaching their
services and talents, re-tendered to
Mr.. Mccall the position he has filled
80 acceptably, and called Mr.. Workman
to the high place which he has in re-
ality filled for years past. If honor
able service continues to be appreci-
ated in Texas, they will not have
reached the top round of the political
ladder when the people elect them
overwhelmingly in November next

Protection Another Name for Robbery

ETOIeCtiOn AhOtneF Ndile IOF hODDery.
In the northwest the Republican
candidates for congress are on the de-
fensive, as the Chicago Tribune admit
ted in its issue OF Saturday, when it
advised them to take the offensive
The infamous Mckinley act having
had the immediate effect to advance
the prices OF many of the necessaries
OF life to the farming and working
classes, they ere clamorous and are as
much outraged and as indignant as in
their clamor they can express. They
see, too that the trusts and combines
have grown more aggressive and
are doing just what Senator John
Sherman and the New York Tribune
warned them not to do, and have run
prices up to the topmost notch. They
are, therefore, convinced that the Nc.
Kinley act means robbery and wrong.
They know it is wrong to take from
them, from the poor to give to the
rich, and that it is robbery to take
from them as farmers and working
men their hard earnings to incieas
the millions of the already plethoric
monopolists. Protection, they are thus
made to feel, is wholly wrong. II
is unconstitutional, and therefore
wrong. No class under that in
strument can legally or lawfully
be taxed for the support of another
Every tub should stand on its own
bottom. No man hasa constitutional
right to put his hands into the
pockets of his fellow-citizens for
profits. But this is what the Nc
Kinley act enables the protected
monopolists to do. Protection, there
fore, defies the constitution and sub
ordinates the rights of the people in
order that the greed of the profit
grahbers may messurably be satisfied
What it is in this coun try it is or has
been in every OF ler. II has taken the
place of the buccaneers and pirates
who used to levy tribute and contri
buttons from the farmers and mer
chants. The very word tariff
owes its origin to piracy, and the
word protection has been diverted
from its original meaning and given
political significance equal to thai
which attaches to robbery. The
greatest Irishman of the century af-
ter GrAttan, and in some respects the
