THE MAN ABOUT TOWN.


ent Subjects.
Our hind sight is always clearer
than our foresight, but some things
aresdemonstrable on the spot For
instance, thee street railroad track
from the Houston street turn-ta Bile
along SOlidad street, across the head
of Commerce street, through the
square is nuisance, and must be-
come more so every day. The rail-
road company could be as we'll ac-
commodated by another route and the
public Inuch benefited. 1t needs no
argument to prove the great relief of
SOlidad street and the narrow corners
at the head OF Commerce street by
the removal OF the street railroad.
Another ITEM Everybody knows
that the dam at the Lewis mill backs
up the river right in the heart of the
city, and that the sewerage emptied
into this part of the river is increas-
ing. The dam is a threatened dan
ger to the community. 1t should be
condemned and removed while it can
be done at the least cost to the people.
Five years hence the people will be
cursing the shOri-sightedness Of our
present city rulers for not Sc
curing the land for an ample park.
Now it can be had for two hundred or
three hundred dollars per acre. We
can locate a site that will have no
equal on this continent in historic
interest and beauty. 1t would make
a park worth millions to our city. 1t
should be secured before private
greed and speculation place it beyond
the reach of public requirement..
When Fort Worthfailed to secure
the democratic convention she nailed
the two republican conventions and

question OF selecting the place for the

a matter of municipal speculation.
Why not put the thing up at auction. |
The truth is the struggling aspirants |
for the democratic nominations have |

San Antonio being re-

The Presidents Aversion to the Camera.
 New York Tribunel

President Harrison has peculiar aversion to having his photograph taken or his portrait drawn. A number of efforts have been made to persuade him to sit for picture amid the surroundings in which he is daily found in the White House, but they have proved of no avail.
 He sat for some pictures to the regu- lar Washington photographers when he came here first, but lately he has re- fused to give any sittings. Postmaster General Wanamaker is equally averse to being photographed.
 The other members of the Cabinet are not so backward about having greatness thrust upon them.

FOURTEEN TIMES AS HIGH
TAXES.
TChicago Inter ocean.1

The Sheffield England Telegraph has
been interviewing some citizens and
manufacturers of that great center Of
the British iron and steel trade who ac-
companied the members of the Iron and
Steel Institute on their visit 10 the
United States. 1t is with great pleasure
that we transcribe certain passages OF
these interviews.
Mr.. George Senior was asked by the
reporter:
Can you give me any idea as TO the
cost of living in American"
Mr.. Senior responded quickly: ''In
Chicago | saw meat ticketed at from 10
L. cents per pound, and this was about
the New York rate. l might say that in
Chicago | saw 400 or 800 fine cattle sold
at 39S cents per pound, taken alive.
Bread and meat are much cheaper than
In England"
What is your opinion of the condi-
tion of the workmcn in the United
States"
Men work in our own trade Gron
and steel much harder and steadicr
than in England. The wOrkngmcn
earn bigger wages and the artisan proper
is much better off than his brethren in
England"
Mr.. Senior employs a great number of
wOrkmen in Sheffield: his testimony,
therefore, is unimpeachablc. Moreover
he is a free trader.
The reporter asked him this question;
we beg the readers attention TO 1T and
to the answer:
DO you think the prosperity of tho
American workman is caused by the
operation Of the protective SYSTEM"
Il have given the most careful con-
sidcration 10 this natter said Mr..
Senior, land ! have found that people OF
means who are not engaged in trade are
free traders"
We beg a consideration Of this tcSt-
mony, the people Of means who are not
engaged in trade are free traders That
is 70 say, the rich who consume but do
not produce. The gamblers, whether in
stocks or cards, the rich and idle, who
wish 10 hire cheap servants and 20 pur-
chase cheap Injuries. The money sharks
of Wall street. The moncyed nabObs
But the men who pay or receive wages
arc not free traders.
As 10 why so many farmers are pro-
toctionists Mr.. Senior says:
"Thcy argue that il is better TO be
saddlcd with a little more expense for
clothes than 20 be called upon 10 bear
the heavy taxation imposed in England.
The average taxation of America does
not exceed six pence twelve cents per
acre"
The average taxation per acre i'm Great
Britain is just fourteen times as much as
in America, being (Sec Mulhall's Die
tionary of Statistics. page s. seven
English shillings OF twcnty-four cents
each per acre.
Mr.. Senior is free trader. and Mr.
Mulhall is a free trader, and both OF
them are Englishmen. We submit their
conclusive testimony 20 the consideration
OF American free traders who tell the
American farmer that he is taxed by
the tariff and we ask them: Is there
one article for which the American
farmer pays fourteen times the price
paid by the British farmer? We have
shown that the British farmer pays
fourteen times as much tax ON each acre
OF ground a is paid in America.
