FAIR NOTES.

More applications for space are be-
ing received, and space and stalls are
being rapidly assigned.
The reports of the various repre-
sentatives Of the association who are
on the road, supervising the billing of
the state, speak encouragingly of the
manner in which the people have in
terested themselves for our fair, and
the way they appreciate and admire
the beautiful posters.
Frank II. Bushick, who has been
supervising the billing of northern
and eastern Texas and western
Louisiana, returned last night. He
reports that the fair was being freely
talked up in those sections and large
quota Of visitors from all of these re-
gions can be confidently looked for.
A large portion, he says, will come TO
the San Antonio fair, who will visit
Dallas, owing to the Mexican feature
of our exposition and the general in
terest and curiosity felt for the qusint-
ness of our historic city.
The Alamo City, with all its inter-
esting features, is the most widely
talked of city in the Southwest. This,
to a great extent, is due to the recent
democratic convention, the delegates
of which returned home with inter
esting reports of San Antonio and its
great International Exposition.

Farmers and other working men

Farmers and other working men
who are not slaves to any political !
party, will do well to give attention
to and study Senator StanfOrd's bill,
which provides for loans at one-half
cash value ON real estute bearing 2
per cent. interest. Such a loan will
establish low rates Of interest, make
a revenue to the government Of
$40, OOO, 900 annually, u sum great
er than is now raised by the tariff
and the internal revenue put togeth-
er. Hence, there will be no taxation
necessary in any form to support the
federal government. There will be
no longer a necessity or even an ex-
cuse for indirect taxation in the form
of tariff of any kind. Such loans
by the government will make recip-
rOcal free trade with all the nations
possible and in every way desirable.
