A DISCOURAGER OF ENTERPRISE.

There is something to think about in
this quotation, taken from a dispatch
which says that syndicate is prepar-
ing to buy up all the rice mills Of the
South:
The syndicate propose to put in Dutch
milling machinery, by means of which the
price of rice will be lowered so that the i'm
porters of foreign rice cannot undersell
American.
Note the language. The syndicate
propose to put in Dutch milling ma
chinery, by means of which the price
of rice will be lowered so that the i'm
porters of foreign rice cannot undersell
American.
The presumption is, then, that the
foreigners are able to undersell Ameri-
can rice, because they have better and
more economical machinery for clean
ing and preparing it for market. When
We get this improved foreign ma
chinery, we shall be able to compete
with the foreigners who are now
using it.
Our people, instead of keeping up
with the progress of the world and
putting in the most economical ma
chinery-machinery that will do the
most work in the least time-have come
to depend upon the tariff to protect
them against competition. In this
way the tariff has become discourager
of enterprise and advancement. AS
long as foreign competition is kept out
of the country by taxing it, our manu-
facturers and millers will not keep up
with the world in the use of the most
improved machinery to do their work.
With old machinery and Anticipated
methods they jog along, depending
upon the tariff enacted by paternal
government to keep them up against
the competition of enterprising foreign
ers.
The tariff is not only tax-it is an
enemy OF enterprise, industry and in
yentiOn.

THE GAZETTE urges a special session be-
cause it is demanded by justice to the west
ern half of the state, and because thousands
of Texas people are threatened with bank
ruptcy by the operation of the Gossett alien
land law. THE GAZETTE believes that cruel
law will DC amended by a special session be-
cause its ruinoas effect is now known. The
GAZETTE does not believe the Twenty
second legislature intended to wreck Texas.

THE GAZETTE does not believe that
either the governor or the legislature
intended to injure Texas by any law
enacted or signed, or that either real
lied the effect OF the Gossett law. But
now that the effect is becoming each
day more apparent, the governors in
tention will be determined by his action
in regard to special session. Not to
call it under the circumstances would
indicate an Indifference of which he
cannot be accused until he does fail to
heed the cries for relief.

held to the sub-treasury fallacy. We
know that at a meeting of the SUBJ
treasury Alliance of Texas, held at
Waco few months ago, resolution
was adopted pledging the members of
the Alliance to not only support the
Ocala platform, but to oppose all candi-
dates for Office who will not support
it. No Democrat can say, in advance
Of the action OF his party, that he will
oppose any candidate of that party
who refuses to believe as he does on
any point: and in this case the sub
treasury Alliance took up the fight
against the Democratic party OF the
state. That party's declaration is
against the sub-treasury. The Alli-
ancee then-or that part OF it which
follows the sub-treasury banner-made
utterance that it would not support any
man that stood on this Democratic plat
form Of opposition to the sub-treasury
plank of the Ocala platform. The issue
is clearly made up. If one wishes to be
in line with the Democratic party of
Texas he cannot favor the sub-treasury
scheme; if he wants the support of the
sub-treasuryites he cannot oppose it.
What will he be for, the Democratic
party or the sub-treasury?
That is the question that the Demo
cratic executive committee of Dallas
county had to settle, and its decision
was that any man who had pledged
himself to oppose candidate for Office
who stood on the Democratic platform
was not the right kind of man to
counsel good Democrats how to act.

history OF pensions for services in the
late war, it is found that in 1866 the
number of pensioners amounted to 1885,
40. This number increased gradually
to 1873, when it reached 23s, AL. That
appeared to be the natural maximum,
from which the number declined stead
lily for five years, the additions for each
year being less than the deaths. or
diminution from other causes. During
that period the net diminution was A.
413 names.
Then began pension legislation that
excited the cupidity of thousands who
never before thought of applying for
pensions. First came the arrears act
granting back pensions as well as the
current rates. This was an extraordi-
nary stimulant. Other bills followed
increasing pensions in certain classes,
and finally came the disability bill,
grand omnium gatherum that swept in
hundreds of thousands that previously
had no title or claim to pensions.
Under the various acts making pension
grabbing easy. the number OF pension
ers which in 1878 was 223,9 1898, grew
rapidly until 1891, it had reached
grand total of Sc, 100. In 1874 the dis
bursements for pensions amounted to
$50, 1898, 149. After that the total de-
creased until it reached 500, Si4, As.
Additional legislation stopped this nat
ural decrease, and turning the stream
in an opposite direction has run it up
to Sis, 54s, $50 for last year. and prom
ises to carry it $50, ZOO, 900 next year
The commissioner states in his report
that he expects to adiudicate 100, 900
more names this year than last, or in
other words 100000 new names will be
added to the rolls, making a total OF
$4,000. 1t will be easy during the sue
ceeding year to add IA, 900 new names
to the rolls to bring the grand total up
to round million. That will be easily
accomplished under existing laws. But
as the hungry pretorians are clamorous
for more pension legislation, there is
no telling where the looting is to stop
unless the Democratic party can main
tain a firm front against the gigantic
plundering and pension bribing of the
Republican party.

The Dallas News says the alien land
law ives the demand of the San An
tonic convention. The San Antonio
convention demanded law to prevent
corporate ownership of land, and no
man will contend that grazing or agri-
cultural lands, especially in large
bodies. should be held by certificates of
stock that never die. The Gossett law
was not the demand of the San An
tonic convention, but is the demand of
the party headed by Macune and Jones
and Tracy.

A CONSISTENT THING TO DO.

The action of the Democratic execu-
tive committee OF Dallas county in de-
handing the resignation of one of its
members who has taken his stand on
the Ocsla platform, finds no defense
among the Democratic press of Dallas.
It falls to the lot of THE GAZETTE,
therefore, to vindicate the propriety Of
the committees conduct.
The Dallas Times-Herald, journal
that is generally to be counted on as an
exponent of sound Democracy, assails
the committee and says: "The SUBJ
treasury is only part Of the Ocala
platform, and is not pronounced against
by any national Democratic conven-
ton" Therefore, that paper holds
that it was improper to exclude a man
from the councils of the party because
he is a follower of the sub-treasury
party.
The sub-treasury is only a small part
of the Ocala platform. True enough.
A drop OF prussic acid is only small
part of the glass of water in which it is
dropped, but it poisons the whole. 1t
if also true that no national Democratic
convention has put the ban of its con-
demnation upon the sub-treasury, one
very good reason ior this omission be-
ing, probably, because no national
Democratic convention has been held
since the sub-treasury question got into
politics. The state Democratic con-
vention has, however, recorded the OPP
position of the Democratic party OF
Texas to the sub-treasury, and that Is
good enough and high enough author
ity for county executive committee to
act under. The state Democratic plat
form also repudiates the doctrine OF
state ownership of railroads, which the
Ocala platform calls for.
We take it, however, that the &C
ton of the Dallas county committee
was put upon other grounds than the
mere circumstance that Mr.. Cole
