WHO PAYS THE FREIGHT

The Henderson Times, representing
East Texas sentiment, favors the alien
land law as amended by Mr.. Gossett,
and opposes special session. \ special
session would not only re-apportion the
legislative districts and give political
justice to West Texas, but it might
amend the Gossett alien land law and
give cheap money to West Texas.
But who pays the freight? Let the
official figures from the comptroller's
report tell.
Angelina county in East Texas pays,
in state and school taxes $1,000 annu-
ally more than it draws from the school
fund apportionment. Archer county in
West Texas pays in $500 annually, and
draws out sl700 annually.
Cherokee in East Texas pays not
quite SIS, 600 and draws out over S21,-
900. Bell county in West Texas pays
over SAC, coo and draws $50, 900. Brown
county in West TEXAS pays s15, 900 and
draws out less than $4,000. Callahan
county in West Texas pays $4,000 and
receives $4,000.
Freestone in East Texas pays not
quite 81, 900 and draws out over SIS
900. Baylor in West Texas pays in
$4,000 and draws out $1,000. Childress
in West Texas pays in nearly $4,000 and
draws out 500. Clay county in West
Texas pays in over $4,000 and draws
out less than $4,000.
Leon county in East Texas pays in
less than $4,000 and draws out over
$1,000 Hardeman county in West
Texas pays in $4,000 and draws out less
than $1,000. Wichita county in West
Texas pays in nearly $4,000 and draws
out less than $1,000. Wilbarger in
West Texas pays in nearly sl3, geo and
draws out less than $1,000.

some awyer, who had got copy of the
bill and discovered the hidden evil in
it, first announced its effect. the most
astonished OF all men were some of the
legislators who had voted for il. They
had been fooled into voting for law
that they had no hesitation in denounc-
ing as the most Ubiquitous that could
have been devised. By such means
was the Gossett amendment to the alien
land law put upon the statute books of
Texas-by Just such means as the crafty
enemies OF the silver dollar disabled it
and reached their ends.
The people of Texas now ask the
legislature to undo the evil that it I'M
consciously did. They do not want the
alien land law repealed. It suits them.
But they do want cheap money, and all
OF it that they can get. and to this end
they ask that the law be so amended as
to let foreign land companies hold land
for five or six years. when they have to
take it for debt. This is all the change
that is called for.

A HISTORICAL PARALLEL.

In 1873 the bill TO demonetize silver
was put through congress, and it re-
ceived the votes OF many members who
were friends to silver currency. The
| bill was so drawn that its true object
was skillfully hidden, and only the
| most searching scrutiny could detect
the blow at the silver dollar. Being
called up and rushed through at the
close Of a session, no opportunity was
allowed for this scrutiny, and it was
more than q year until the country
learned that silver had been surrepti-
tiously demonetized. Even the presi-
dent did not know he had signed bill
| demonetizing silver.
We make mention of this most ia
grant and now widely known piece OF
sharp practice to show how easy it is to
carry through questionable bill in the
closing hours Of legislature. when
members have not time to give that
thought and inquiry to q bill that
should be bestowed upon every pro-
posed law. BY such means the Gossett
amendment to the alien land law was
put in the body Of that bill few DAYS
before the legislature adjourned.
Nearly every member of that body
wanted law enacted that should pre-
vent the acquisition of large bodies Of
lands by aliens, ana their holding in
perpetuity. The people of the state,
without regard to party or faction,
called for such law. AS it was orig
inally submitted to the committee hav-
ing the bill in charge, this was its sole
intention and end. Members read it.
and seeing nothing bad about the bill,
resolved TO vote for it. The newspa-
pers published synopses and approved
the bill, for it did nothing but prohibit
the acquisition, by purchase, of land by
aliens. Under this misrepresentation
the bill was called up shortly before
the legislature adjourned, hastily read
over by the clerk, and put through.
In the meantime, however, Mr.. Gossett,
a member of the committee that had it
in charge. had inserted clause that in
effect prohibited the taking Of landed
security by foreign loan company or
individual, or domestic loan company
ii foreigner had any interest in it.
Without any thought that they were
voting for law that was TO drive mil
lions OF dollars of cheap loans from the
state and bring bankruptcy upon thou
sands of our citizens, this bill was put
upon its passage, and receiving the
governors signature. became law
This was about the middle OF April.
Not until the latter part of June did the
people Of the state have any knowledge
that the alien land law affected foreign
money, upon which they had come to
depend very largely for the means OF
developing the states resources and
putting forward its industries. When

THE ExpULs1oN oFTuE ANTS.

The expulsion OF the anti-sub-treas-
uryites from the Dallas pow-wow was
a plain and palpable violation of the
organic law OF the Alliance as set forth
by President Jones in his annual adj
| dress. That law guarantees to every
| Alliance member the absolute right to
hold what political opinions he pIeases.
and permits no discrimination against
any member on account of his politics
or his religion. The Alliance mem
bers who participated in the Fort
Worth meeting were acting entirely
within their constitutional rights when
they met TO condemn the sub-treasury
proposition. No matter by whom
fathered, adopted or promulgated, they
regarded it with disfavor and abhor-
renee, and had perfect right under the
rules and practice of the order to meet
and condemn it. Any individual mem
Der had, and has, that right; why
should not hundred or q thousand
members have it or exercise it?
The PRONUNCIATION Of the bull OF ex-
communication was unauthorized. high
handed and inquisitorial. 1t was an
effort TO brand as traitors to the Ali
ance such honorable men as kendrick.
Rogers, Goodman, Moody, Sargent and
many others. none of whom had any
share in the plunderings of the fraudu-
lent Alliance exchange, or the midnight
rape OF the Mercury. 1t means that

in the organization who will not fall
down and worship the sub-treasury
calf. 1t means that there is no other
god but Macune, and that Tracy.
Lamb ct al. are his prophets 1t
means that fraud. chicanery and hum
buggery are triumphant, and that the
high priests of the pawn-shop heresy
hope to further gull, bamboozle and
work the supplemented farmer.
As there is nothing whatever in
common between the ms and outs. it is
not presumed that those who opposed
humbuggery and fraud feel greatly
distressed at being segregated from
the wolves Of the order.
Virtual voluntary separation took
place when they met in Fort Worth
and placed themselves on record in
opposition to the rank heresy and de-
vastating idiocy OF the sub-treasury-
ties. The position which the ants
occupy is in the estimation Of the peo-
pie miles and miles above that OF the
office-seeking iunta that now rules the
Alliance roOst.

Atlanta Constitution.

While agriculture is depressed, and the
farmers of the country have good cause TO
complain, the situation, nevertheless, has
its bright side.
According to the latest census reports,
there are 2,500,000 families in the United
States. OF these 10, 80, coo occupy farms
and homes that are either owned or rented
by them unincumbered. The other 1850 900
own homes and farms incumbered by mort
cages.
This is not bad showing. When over
four-ffths OF the families of country &C.
cupy homes that are not mortgaged. it is
safe to say that the people lack a good deal
of being ruined. But this apparent pros
perity should not lead the thoughtless to be-
lieve that there is nothing worse in store
for US. The robber tariff, legislation in the
interest of privileged classes, and the ex-
travagance of billion-dCllar congresses will,
if allowed to continue, swell the number
of mortgaged homes from year to year,
until they will make an appalling total in re-
ports of the next census. The very fact that
matters are no worse should encourage us
to make the fight for economic reform while
the chances for success are as good as they
are now. 1t is no time for policy Of mac
tiyitv

see how West Texas is taxed to subsi-

have the votes they are entitled to and

EASTERN lenders of money are
guarding themselves against possible
effects Of the free coinage Of silver by
putting clauses in their mortgages re-
Quiring the principal and interest to be
paid in gold. Should the fears that
they pretend to have, that free silver
will drive ouS gold, come 10 pass, they
will be in a very comfortable fix. No
matter how much OF u premium gold
may be held at. the borrowers will have
to buy it to pay the interest aud prin-
cipal OF the debts. But as it is not
likely that there is anything in their
fears, it is not probable that borrowers
will suffer on account of the gold pro-
viso. They can get legal tender notes
without paying a premium, and ex-
change these notes at par for gold.
