The fight was particularly savage one,
Convict Dunlap being pounded until
covered with blood and almost unable
to stand when his second, IA guard,
threw up the sponge. The news Of the

end he must be well posted as to facts
or he would not thus crush into
print 1t comes to us on the best o.
information that cotton in great
quantities is going to small towns
around Austin, that should come here
Farmers do not haul cotton long
rather than short distance unless 1t
pays them so to do. Why is it the
cotton is carried elsewhere than Aus
tin? Surely Austin merchants sell
their goods as cheap or cheaper than
do their rural competitors; then why
should not the farmers prefer to come
to Austin to sell their cotton and buy
their supplies? 1t is answered, be-
cause they cannot get as much for
their cotton here as elsewhere-but
why should this be? 1t is answered
that country merchants carry the
farmers, and as the farmers
take out their cotton in
trade the merchant can afford to give
them a better price for cotton. But
shade of business sense, if such prac-
tice profits the country merchants
will it not also profit the city mer-
chant? If the country merchant with
his limited trade and credit can carry
the farmers, can not the larger con-
Germs in the city do so with more ease?
If this is the bug under the chip, then
Austin merchants have their better
ment in their own hands and should
make the farmers know at once where
it will most benefit them to deal. But
if, as it is claimed, cotton buyt rs,
as such give for cotton in Kyle, Ma
nor, &C., better price than Austin
cotton buyers offer, then indeed the
matter deserves special looking after.
But taking either and both horns of
the dilemma our business men should
look seriously into this question. For
if the practice of giving Austin the
go-by is carried on to the extent claim
ed, then are our business interests
being woefully Slapped and crippled.

any time before July I, 1893, wher
the Mckinley duty of cents pound
will begin to be imposed on imported
pig tin. 1t is proper to say that
there has always been some question
as to the existence of tin in paying
quantities in the Black Hills.
But about the Temescal mines in
California, very recently brought to
notice. there was no doubt at all, so
strong and matter-of-fact were the
statements as to their actual output
published in the veracious San Fran
cisco papers, and republished in the
protectionist Eastern papers. The
tariff reform press was for once silenc-
ed. They were convinced partly
by the photograph taken during Presi-
dent Harrison's tour in California
representing the president, Secretary
Rusk and Mr.. Wanamaker on a rail-
road platform, with truckload OF
California pig tin in the foreground
and partly by the specific statement
that SO tons of it had already been
produced and that the production was
increasing. 1t was said that the out
put was from four to six tons OF pig
q day, and would soon be at the rate
of 3, 900 tons year. The average per-
centage of tin in the ore was said to
be 1G per cent, and in selected ores 20
per cent. There were $50 men en-
ployed and there were orders ahead
for $500, 600 worth of metal.
All this, it now appears, was ro-
nance, prompted by the mistaken be-
lief on the part Of the protectionist
press that pig tin was already dutia-
BILE at cents a pound, and that the
California output could be used to
prove the value of the Mckinley act.
Fuller knowledge dispels the pleas
ing illusion. There being no duty at !
present on pig tin, the California tin,
if made, is not a Mckinley
product. But it is not made in the
quantities reported, and the mines, it
appears, are about to be closed. The
entire product up to July was eleven
tons. Since that time the rate of pro-
duction has been lessening, and, ac-
cording to Mr.. Crossman, one Of the
work will probably soon
cease altogether"

THE .SOUTHtS WAY.

The South is the richest country in
the world. Every day facts prove this
assertion to be true. If it were not it
would be nation of paupers, sinking
constantly into deeper and deeper
poverty. No other country could con-
tinue, year after year, importing
every article of wearing apparel, every
article of food, every tool and vehicle,
and piece of machinery, every article
of furniture, and escape sinking into
the direst poverty. No other country
could cut timber from it's forests, ship
it hundreds of miles, have it made
into furniture or wagons and shipped
back and bought, paying the freight
both ways and the salaries of innu-
merable middle-men in the purchase
price. No other country could
keep men at work, hundreds
of miles away, supplying its
smoke houses and corn cribs,
filing it's syrup barrels and even fur
nishing it's pickles and potatoes, its
fruits and jellies, its mincemeat and
preserves. No other country could
go on year after year tickling the sur
face of the earth with pillow and TAX
ing half crop from the half worked
field and expect to pay for all these
expensive foreign luXuries. And yet
the south has done these things for
many years, and this proves that in
no other country on the globe can a
living be made so easily. True, she
is not in prosperous condition, but
can one expect that? True, her farm
ing classes are complaining that times
grow harder with them every year,
but what would they have? Do they
want the earth? People who spend
their lives in the cotton field that they
may keep northern manufactures
going have little just cause Of COM
plant.
And there is no reason under the
sun why every article included in the
list above should not be manufactured
here at our own doors; giving en-
ployment to hundreds and thousands
of people; utilizing southern tim
Der, giving southern farmers
market for an infinite variety of farm
products, making money plentiful and
times easier, and filling the land with
prosperity. There is more in southern
manufactures than in all the wild
and vague subtreasury schemes that
ever were started. While the farmers
are complaining that their lot is a hard
one, let them reflect that the slipshod
policy of the community is enough to
bankrupt any agricultural class; and
that things are as well with them as
they are is due to the natural re-
sources of the country, and not to
their own good manapement

A Better Though Lame Substitute for the
Subtreasury Plan.

The promise of the United States
to give to the bearer hundred weight
of pig iron at Pittsburg, bolt of do
mestic at Lowell, thousand feet of
plank at Detroit, a bale of cotton at
Memphis, bushel of prime wheat at
st. Paul, would be accepted by all
Americans who know the prices of
these articles, at their market value
Such promises would also circulate
freely in commercial circles abroad.
Such certificates of deposit would
be, we think, a very great convenience
to all business men. They would help
to move the crops. They would make
the prices of staples steadier. They
would save many charges. The pro-
Queer would deposit his produce and
would use his certificates to

MOB La W.

The Galveston News notes the III
creasing appeals to mob law through
out the country and the dangers arlS
ing from such appeals, and says tha'
the only comparatively safe reCrea'
from their violence is in the grave,
"and even that is not nearly SO safe as
the crematory.n The STATESMAN
deprecates as earnestly as the News
can do the prevalence of mob law.
Every mob is a wild, soulless, unreas-
0ning thing, and it has cruel and
deadly strength which demolishes IN
a moment what years have gone to
build up. Worse than all it makes
mistakes, and there is never any OPP
portunity to set them right. But the
mob themselves are not so much TO
blame after all. The law is proverbi-
tally slow, and 1t is growing slower
every day. Quirks and bubbles, mis-
trials, changes of venue, appeals and
a hundred other devices are resorted
to, in order to gain time for some man
VIGOROUSLY guilty; and in not a few
cases he walks out of a jail free man,
or is given shorter term for muir
der than the man handcuffed to him,
who has only stolen COW. Let
murderer once escape, and justice con-
elders her hands washed of the whole
matter. The state offers a pitiful re-
ward for him in the first place, which
would tempt no man to arrest des-
perate criminal. With the close of the
administration even that reward
lapses, and the murderer may
consider himself safe. The
STATESMAN could mention half
% dozen brutal murders committed
within the past six years with the
murderers still free and not dollar
set upon their heads. In view of such
facts as these, it is little wonder that
a crowd of indignant citizens, having
caught murderer whose hands are
still red with the blood of his victim,
should string him up to the nearest
tree without waiting for the chances
of the laws delay.

4 SUGGESTION TO AUSTIN.

Within comparatively short time
Austin will have the finest water
power in the South, and it is time she
were debating with herself how to
use it. Such an infinite number of
things can be done with this water
power, it would be pity to let any
Of them go by default. If Austin
were New England city, an Austin
paper would not have time to canvass
such question. Her shrewd
moneyed mon would have had their
plans laid long ere this, and the water
would hardly begin to flow over the
dam before it would be turning count
less wheels and setting in mo-
ton a vast amount of machinery
and all Texas and the
whole south would feel the thrill of
that first flow of water. There are
however, cities in the south, that are
built that way and Austin will be one
of them. Atlanta, Georgia, is the
most prosperous city in the south, and
Atlanta's manufacturing interests
have made her what she is. She is
surrounded by poor country, where
the soil is worn out land expensive fur
tiliZers have to be used to insure any
return for the farmers labor. But
Atlanta is filled with manufactures,
and the shrek of whistles and roar of
machinery sound from morning till
night, all overtime city. True, Atlanta
did not build all these manufactories
herself. She is indebted for many of
them to Northern capital. But does
Northern capital do any charity work?
Does it not plant its enterprises where
it can get the best returns on the
money invested? And if Southern
manufactures pay Northern capital
lists, would it not pay Southern CAPT
talists, too? A good portion of North
ern Alabama has been completely
transformed through the development
of her manufacturing interests, and
her little villages have become thirty
ing and populous cities. This is no
time for Texas, the greatest state
II the entire sisterhood, to neg
lect her opportunities and, Wcome
tagging in at the rear end of the pro-
cession; and to bring the matter nearer
home, Austin will soon hold the key
to the situation. A few enterprising
men, using the opportunities at hand,
can not only build up Austin, but can
bring strength and commercial i'm
portance and prosperity to the whole
state. Once set the waters of the
Colorado to turning the wheels of
manufactures, and time will be in
augurated when there will be work
for those now unemployed, and a
ready sale for everything the farmer
can raise; when he will no longer be a
slave to the tyranny of cotton; when
business will be brisk, and money
plentiful, and when city and country
will feel the impetus ofnew life.

THE FAKE "TIN" CAMPAIGN.

The Ohio campaign is conspicuous
for it's being advertised for cause
which turns out to be worse than a
circus fake. An alleged tin plate is
the banner of the campaign and pro-
lection for home tin manufacture the
shibboleth. All this because McI<in-
ley's notorious tariff bill imposes a
tax of cents a pound on imported
pig tin. But the fraud of all this is
apparent when it is noted that the
Mckinley law says this duty shall
only be imposed on and after July LIST,
1893. 1t may in fact never be impos-
ed at all, for that clause may be
amended. But in the mean time if
the other part of the Ohio cam
paign is true, and they are
waving genuine American made
tin plates, it would seem that
something of weight is given to the
claim that this tax on raw material is
not needed to protect the manufacture
of our own pig tin. But how about
our supply of such pig tin? The Bal
timore Sun, of the 25th, thus explodes
two recent luminous claims upon
american protection" and the ed
itorial is respectfully urged upon the
attention of Ohio citizens and those of
other states now deceived by the Ohio
slogan of protected pig tin:
Confident predictions, fortified by de-
tailed statements of fact, convinced all
good Americans that we have in Da-
kota and California an ample supply
of good tin ore. Senator Moody, in
speech of Aug. ~, 1890, advocating
duty of 4 cents a pound on pig tin,
gave his fellow-senators the following
information: "In that portion of the
states of South Dakota and Wyoming
known as the Black Hills there has
been discovered and developed within
the last six years the most extensive
and probably the richest quartz tin
mines thus far found upon the
globe. The ore is very rich in places,
and the gulches contain large amount
of stream or placer tin, which has
been successfully worked for a num-
Der of years and many tons have been
put upon the market" This was all
it now appears, senatorial fiction.
Dakota and Wyoming have not yet,
in fact, produced any tin at all in a
commercial way. We hear of it but
we never see it. The delay in sup
plying it for sale has been explained
as due to the decision of the company
to buy 6OO-stamp mill to crush the
vast quantity of ore that had been
gotten out. But Prof. Claypool of
Akron, O., one of the editors of the
American Geologist, who has recently
visited the Black Hills, tells differ
ent story. In response to a request of
the trade journal Hardware that
he would give the result of his
observations, the professor writes:
"There is scarcely enough ore taken
from all the mines together to keep
stamp mill of fair size at work" AS
to the alleged jubilant confidence of
the mining company, he says: "The
present attitude in the region is one
of suspense, and it is difficult to say
what the next move will be-" BY
which he means, it appears, that he
expects collapse of what Senator
Moody called "the richest quartz tin
mines thus far found on the globe"
AS the yearly consumption of pig tin
i'm the United States is some 1900
tons, Dakota is evidently not to be re-
lied upon for our supply now, nor at

The hanging of Powell and Leeper
at Gainesville closed a tragedy which
has been made more pitiful by the
frantic efforts of Powell's mother to
secure his pardon. Whatever might
have been his crime, however deeply
his hands might have been stained
with blood, he was still her boy, for
whose sake she would willingly have
died. The memory of his innocent
babyhood and boyhood was in every
effort the unfortunate mother made;
but he has answered for his crime,
and against the verdict given there is
no appeal.
