A NORTH TEXAS journal has the
following, as introducing a prospec-
tive republican candidate for gov
ernor, whom it represents as saying:
81 am candidate for governor of
Texas and will open the campaign at
Athens on next Wednesday. L shall
work the sub-treasury racket on the
old farmers of the state for all it is
worth, and don't you forget it,"
The republican party will be clean
gone in original foolishness, much
farther than the democratic conven-
ton was gone in Hoggishness, when
it puts such a plank as "sub-treas-
ury" in It's platform. The LIGHT
does not believe that any man who
seriously poses as possible candi.
date for governor could have been SC
green as TO make such a remark. Ger.
tain it is that no man making such g
declaration can be nominated in any
republican convention north or south

| the Pittsburg Chronicle.

| From the Pittsburg Chronicle.
The Boston Advertiser, noting the
| fact that on the Slst day of July, 1890,
| the first patent was issued to q citizen
| of the United States from the Patent
Office at Washington, discusses In an
interesting manner the first century
of invention of this inventive country.
An idea of the growth.of inven tive
| ideas may be gathered from the bare
statement that while but three pat
ents were issued in 1870, in 1889 the
number issued was 1880. The total
for the 100 years is 433, 4S2.
George Washington was inaugura-
in the spring of 1889. In the summer
of 1870 patents began to be issued.
'This comparison OF dates" says the
Advertiser, "shOws that fostering
care of inventions was among the
earliest matters to which the infant
republic gave attent ton. Everything
was to be done; departments organ
ized contendipg factions pacified; an
army, a navy, q treasury, system of
law courts, q code of federal laws
must be created, without models and
almost without material. Interna-
tional relations were to be adjusted.
An experiment the most difficult and
momentous that the world had
known, the experiment Of government
by the people, was to be tried. Yet,
with all this awful weight of care and
responsibility resting on their shout
ders, the fathers of the republic made
it part of their first concern to en-
courage mechanical and scientific in
genuity."
The claim has been made that the
Am srican system of patents is to be
credited with ali essential part in the
wonderful attachments of American
inventors; but the Advertiser refutes
this in these words: Read the bio
graphies of American inventors. The
majority We're poor boys and poor
men until and unless their patent
rights made them rich. The story of
ELIAS Howe is typical. Pity for his
wife, toiling with the needle to clothe
a growing family, set him to devise
the sewing machine. Had there been
no hope OF pecuniary reward, such as
the patent laws held out, he might
doubtless have made the attempt, but
would soon have given up in despair,
seeing how impossible it would be
for a penniless man to construct a
sewing machine, even if invented,
and how hopeless the attempt to OBJ
tain capital to develop an invention
in which neither the inventor nor
his financial hackers could have any
vested interest. If argument were
needed to prove the wisdom of our
patent laws this argument should
suffice: America has the most gen.
erous patent laws in the world. Ame-
RIGA has the most abundant and val
liable inventions in the world. These
two facts are cause and effect"

oEMocRo ALLIANCE MISTAKES.

OEMOSHS RlGIANSG mlS HN@S'
The neutrality-suspicious.
acknowledgements convention
held recently in San Antonio commit
ted more sins of commission than it
did sins OF commission. 1t was fully
as conspicuous for what it did not do
and say as for what 1t did do and say.
Is not only went out of its way to an
tagonize members of its own party in
propouncing for a commission, but it
neglected to put itself on record, in
nearly every way possible, where
such record would have secured for
it the staunch support and
hearty cooperation Of the two
great classes most generally
represented in the convention. The
Farmers Alliance and the Labor
party dominated that convention.
How then was it that nothing was
said in the platform concerning the
taxation of nonresident land holders
to the full value of their holdings, as
a measure of equity to the farmers
and small homestead owners of our
towns and cities? The farmers are
defrauded by the present system of
taxation. They are compelled to
work the roads, maintain the schools,
do jury duty, and keep alive
all the machinery of county and
state government in so far as the
rural districts are concerned, and at
the same time enhance year by year
the values of these non-improved and
occupied lands tor the benefit of nom
resident spectators. Residents are
taxed for the value of their improve
ments, their buildings, their farming
and all else, and their
lands rated higher than the unoccu-
pied lands lying side by side
with theirs, which bear no bur-
dens of improvement, but which
are continually enhanced in value
by the improvements and higher tax
alton of the resident property hold
ers. This is as true of the lands held
in the city for speculative purposes,
as of the lands held in the country.
In the one case the farmer bears the
burdens; in the other the laborer, the
the mechanic, who own
their small holdings in the city. The
only way to avoid this evil and in
justice is to tax these unoccupied
lands the full value at which they are
held by their nonresident owners.
Levy this tax, and upon country prop
erty apply it to the construction of
roads and bridges, and in a very
short time the cry against
bad and impossible roads would
be no longer heard. Do the
same thing in the cities. Apply this
tax to the improvement of streets and
sidewalks and all necessary expenses
by which the value of these vacant
lots are continually enhanced, and
there would be less complaint among
the poor, the laboring man who owns
his small homestead, the small dealer
who is taxed for his business. and the
whole body of the resident industri-
Gus who now bear nearly all the bur-
dens of city, county and state govern
ment. The alliance-democracy made
a great mistake in not putting them
selves on record In this matter. 1t
was so directly in their line that the
wonder is how they missed it.
