hats and collected it when he sold the
same to the jobber or retail dealer, he
in turn collecting it from the wearers
of hats. To render justice all around,
the excess should be refunded
to every man who paid it
when he bought hat trimmed
with the material rnduly taxed,
and not to the importer or hat makers.
not to the Stetsons, Knoxes and Dun
laps, who, highly protected in every
bit OF material of whatever sort that
enters into the manufacture of hats,
have made vast fortunes in their bust
ness. But to refund the money in that
manner, would be simply taxing every
man who wears hat in order that the
tax. less the charge of collecting and
discussing, may be repaid to him,
which OF course appears very silly.
But that is not how the matter will
proceed. The excess, if it shall turn
out to be such, will be repaid to the
importers and wealthy hat makers, and
the millions who wear hats will be
taxed 80 per cent additional in order to
give bonus of $40, 600, 600 or $50, OOO,-
600 to the hat makers, who have never
sustained the loss OF a cent. The re-
suit, therefore, is that the people paid
tariff duty Of so per cent on the trim
ming that went into the makeup of
their hats, and will be called on to pay
30 per cent more, or total Of so per
cent, the 80 per cent amounting
to millions, being direct gratuity or
bonus which the courts may order paid
to the already over-protected hat
makers. Such are the beauties of our
blessed tariff system, and such the
skillful and statesmanlike manner in
which il has been administered by
the g. 0. p.

THE allwise politicians and editors
who are auarreling over who will be
the next nominee and whether the PEG.
pie are for Cleveland or for Hill will
learn something soon. The people who
carry the Democratic banner to victory
or honorable defeat are thinking more
about what will go in the platform
than about who will be nominated.
When they stop to think about men,
they look to the Northwest. Personal
organ business, like the St. Louis Re-
public, has lost favor with the Demo
cratic party.

AS THE investigation goes on, the
people begin to sympathize with Judge
McCord. Everybody was his friend
and claimed a slice of the pie. Those
men whom the judge could not fill up
on pie got mad. They went in with
the pie eaters of Waco to have an in
yestigation at the expense of the peo-
pie. The Federal judge had only two
or three to fill up with Cotton Belt
soup, and he was lifetime officer.

MIR. CLEVELAND is not in it in vir-
ginia. Governor Mckinney is reported
as saying that it would be very unwise,
as political affairs stand at this
day, to nominate Mr.. Cleveland for the
presidency, because of the fierce an
tagonism that will be made to his cleo
ton by the farmers of the country, due
/, in great part to his position on the sill
yer question. The governor thinks
that we oughtto take no risk. He says:
A divided Democracy cannot elect any
body-a Democracy united, harmonious and
enthusiastic can elect their candidate at the
next election. We must find the man who
can produce harmony. Mr. Cleveland, it
now appears, is not the man. We have
plenty of them and at the proper time the

Fort WORTH is in it. The big pack
cry and cotton mill will in a few weeks
be supplemented by the iron rolling
mill, and the brewery is to be supple
mented by big distillery. The one
incomprehensible thing is, that town
which has so many railroads to bring
people into it and SO much to attract
people to it will not provide hotel ac-
commodations suitable and sufficient to
supply the demand. Fort Worth is
the best hotel town in the Southwest.

THE esteemed Fort Worth GAZETTE
seems to think the only thing worthy of
consideration in the International and Great
Northern investigation is the testimony
concerning the Newses and their dealings
with the Texas traffic association. There
may be several other ''niggers'' in the
wood pile, dear GAZETTE, and you may be
sorry to see some of them EMERGE Austin
Statesman.
When you find the ''niggers, point
them out. As for the matter of grief.
THE GAZETTE, as newspaper, has
already been made to sorrow over the
investigation.

men and teachers why the closing of schools
was called commencement exercises Why
not closing exercises2 Will you kindly
answer the question for the benefit of your
readers heres Yours truly,

This question, SO frequently asked.
has never been quite satisfactorily
answered, college men themselves be-
ing not quite certain as to the reason
why the close of q collegiate course
should be christened commencement.
The reason usually given, and probably
the correct one, is, that while ''com-
mencement day" marks the close of
school life, it also marks the beginning
of LIES school. The student then en-
tiers upon new pursuits, and this day is
virtually the. commencement of a new
career.

this be true, THE GAZETTE would like

SENATOR GEORGE of Mississippi does not,
as stated in some papers, come out in favor
OF the Ocala platform, but he fayors that
platform excepting as to the sub-treasury

The exceptions are the most important fea-
lures of the platform. Senator George
seems about in line with the new move

WHY DOES FORT WORTH GROW,

/ DOIsS UNI WonIf1 ut6OWg
More than once skeptical outsider
or faint-hearted insider has asked TIL
GAZETTE the reason for its faith in
Fort Worth. Seven years ago, wher
the town seemed dead, when accumu
lated disasters appeared to have
worked the ruin of the proud young
city, when immigration had become
emigration, when vacant houses could
be found on every street, when naughty
rivals laughed in their prosperity and
the feet of this Christian town had
well nigh slipped as it saw that pros
perity, when faith lived in few hearts
only of all the people, man with a
rent roll asked with a sheer, ''What
do you see in Fort Worth?n THE GA
zETTE pointed to the West, then
stricken by drouth, and gathering
pecans with which to buy bread, and
said: There lie al, the millions of
acres of cheap lands. and here is their
entrepot."
Again, a few days since gentleman
from distant state asked, "What is
your faith in Fort Worth?" Now, as
seven years ago, THE GAZETTE points
to the West, thriving and prosperous
and harvesting wheat where seven
years ago hunters wandered, and says,
There are the cheap lands OF Texas
and here is their entrepot."
From 1884 to 1887 the clouds hung
black over this city, and yet in that
time Fort Worth added four or five
railroad outlets to its distributing faci-
lities and builded thousands of houses.
What was it? How was it? Why was
it? Northwest Texas and trunk lines,
To-day all business languishes from
the effects of the great panic, and yet
during this panic Fort Worth has
added the great packery, the grand
brewery, the big cotton mill and nu-
merous other manufacturing institu-
tons, and built some of the finest bust
ness structures IN the Southwest. What
is it? How is it? Why is it? North
west Texas and trunk lines
Despite the drouth years ago, Fort
Worth grew.
Despite the panic of 1s9O-91, Fort
Worth has grown.
Why is it? How is it? Why does
this town of all the towns in Texas
thrive when other towns are dead and
listless? There is and can be but one
answer: The territory tributary to the
city has made the city and will make
it greater than it is.
Years ago Fort Worth had leaders
who planned for it. The town grew
faster for their planning. And to-day
if Fort Worth had leaders the town
would grow faster because of their
work
Fort Worth has grown despite drouth
it grows now despite panic and self
ishness and greed and treason and
envies and jealousies. It will grow
not even treason can stop its growth;
but it could grow so much more rapidly
if it had leadership. The men are here
the money is here. And when these
men do step forward and call the old |
guard together the progress of Fort
Worth will more than even now aston |
sh all who wonder at its vitality and |
It's steady advancement under condi-
ions that seemed to betoken disaster
md death.
There is West Texas. Here is Fort |
Worth. Fort Worth is founded upon
/ rock.
