CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CALL,
4 State Convention to Take Measures to
Have Texas Represented at the Column
bian Exhibition at Chicago in 1893.

The chamber of commerce has issued the
following call:
The legislature Of the state Of Texas has
refused to make an appropriation IN
aid Of the Columbian exhibition, and unless
immediate stepsare taken our great state
viii have no way of showing TO the world
its greatness and vast undeveloped re-
sources. With a view to overcoming the
difficulty the Chamber of Commrce of Fort
Worth asks that the various cities of the
state, the Chambers of Commerce and
Boards of Trade, commercial org carnations.
progressive organizations, and county i'm
migration societies send delegates to a con-
vention TO be held at Fort Worth on MAY
Il at y N. to discuss plans, and, if possible.
organize for the purpose of having the STATED
efficiently represented at the Columbian
exposition.
1t is, therefore, requested that each com
mercial organization appoint one delegate
and one lady delegate for every ten mem
bers. Each immigration and progressive
association one delegate and one lady dele
gate for every twenty members, each citf
one delegate one lady delegate for every
1000 inhabitants. Kindly acknowledge the
receipt of this call, and forward to the sec
rotary of the Chamber Of Commerce the
names of the delegates appointed. TI-uly
yours, X. VI. VASZANDT, President.

profit This farm would have cost S60O.OO0
and the balance of the appropriation could
have been used to cultivate the entire -
600 acres. The investment would have
yielded a fabulous interest, which would
rapidly swell the school fund, and the con-
victs would have been placed in position
where the state would be relieved of the eN-
pense of providing for them without re-
Enumeration In regard 20 the sugar bounty
bill, l would say that il passed both houses
almost unanimously, and was regarded, not
as condoning the bounty system, but as an
acceptance of the inevitable. and was moth
ing more than proposition TO indirectly re-
turn the bounty TO the tax payers. II may
establish precedent, but if il does, it also
saves the state $50, 000 year.

Governor Hogg declares over his veto
that the state of Texas shall not accept the
, cent sugar bounty offered TO cult
vators Of this staple under the Mckinley
tariff bill. No; not unless Texas walks
over his dead body to get it.
Governor Hogg regards il as an imperti-
nence and IN unwarrantable interference
with state rights for the beggarly United
States government TO step in and fling into
the teeth OF the noble state of Texas its
contemplate two cOpparS for sugar raising
In the first place, the Texas sugar farm is
worked by convicts, and it would not DE
Qnlte the thing anyhow to take the bounty.
In the next place and mainly, if Texas
would admit that the general government
might thus encourage suga" culture Il would
be Il practical admission that the same de
spicable and outrageous power might also
encourage and run any other industry in the
sovereign state. The general government i'll
this case would be like the mule that thrust
its nose into the farmers cabin to get II
warm, and then got its whole body inside
and drove the farmer out.
One would think that the subject of sugar
would have sweetening influence on the
temper of Governor Hogg, but we regret to
say that the contrary seems to be the case
There is flavor of acid, sulphuric acid II
that, in the following:
The state is sovereign Of her own affairs and
cannot be disturbed in the legitimate exercise
OF her prerogatives. II she desires to raise
sugar by convict labor. under no circumstances
could she with prOpriety ask or accept from
any government q license TO do so. Nor could
she yield to supervision of her affairs by any
officer not subordinate 10 her own laws. To
do so in one instance would lead TO another
and finally the supervision by the Federal gov
crnmCnt over the cotton patches. wheat fields
stock ranches, lumber yards and factories
within her limits. Precedents by government
usurpation become stronger than law. The
worse they are the more difficult to overthrow.
When they are erected on the obstruction of
the constitution, like this bounty act the
wrong which produced them strengthens as
the fruits of the crime spread, until they be
come fastened forever on the people
When before in the history of nations did
a state ever refuse government bounty?
There is only one man who could do ii, and
he is the governor of Texas and his name

Arizona Anxious to Join the Sisterhood of
States--The Long and Short Haul
Clause, and the Sugar Bounty
and Sugar Farm Bills.


Mr.. II. NJ. Creswell informed What-Not
that he has been in the Indian Territory Tor
several weeks preparing to pasture his cat
tie. He states that the Choctaw Indians
have passed q law that prohibits the drlv-
ing OF cattle into the Choctaw country atter
the 18th of April. and also prohibits all for
eigners from using the Choctaw lands Tor
grazing purposes. In order 10 evade this
law, the stocimen are grazing their stock
under an Indians name. However, in the
Creek Nation, where Mr.. Cresweu oper-
ateS. the lands are leased to Americans, and
driving IS not prohibited until the 18th Of
May. Speaking OF the habits OF the Indians,
Mr.. CreswelI said: The Indians own the
finest country in the world, but they are
too lazy TO cultivate it. The land VIII pro
duce anything, and the yield OF corn will
average sixty bushels 10 the acre. How
ever, the little land that is cultivated IS
leased from the indians. and the farmers
labor under many difficulties"

MACUNE CRATES.
The Scene of His Effort is at Austin-Some
of the Things He Tried to Prove,
and Some He Didn't Touch.

special 10 lEt OTdLtllc
AUSTIN. TEX, April 15.-Dr C. w. Ma
cune, chairman Of the National Alliance
and Industrial Union. addressed a meager
audience at the courthouse tonight. He
said that the Alliance is far different, and
its objects different from what they were
six years ago. 1t is high evolution in
material progress, Il sinking fund to
which farmers may resort as a great
reserve power. 1t is a power that
cannot be stayed or put down, and it is not
political, save when it may serve to tenn
porarily meet an unjust cor dition.
Some figures were cited to show the rela-
tive supply of money to the needs of the
people. after which the sub-treasury scheme
was taken up, the orator attempting TO prove
that it was practical and constitutional,
and would not innate or depreciate money
below the gold standard. He cared nothing
about the detail of the plan, the principle
was all. II was not poll uical question
either, although Democrats and Republi-
cans try to make it so, while its friends OPP
pose the idea. 1t IS a plan that will bring
foreign gold into the country in order to
redeem warehouse certificates in the hands
of the farmers and purchase the products
needed in foreign market. Instead of being
class legislation it is plan to abolish class
legislation. Adopt it, and there never was
seen such an era of agricultural prosperity
in Texas as would follow. The great virtue
OF IL resided IN what was called the .lnffeX-
lille and automatic character of it.
Nothing was said to indicate the probable
amount of money necessary TO put the
scheme in working order. The govern
ment said Mr. Macune might issue green
backs TO such an extent as to depreciate
their value. but the sub-treasury plan was
not vulnerable in that way Its fexibility
was the vital elixir that kept it always in a
sound and healthy condition
Nothing whatever was said about 4 third
party the orator taking particular care TO
inculcate the idea that the whole plan Of
the Alliance was noH-political.

CRaMPED Up FREE TRADE.

The superintendent OF one OF the
Mexican mines had an interesting talk
with the public through the columns
of yesterdays GAZETTE. He discussed
reciprocity of trade between the United
States and Mexico in very intelligent
and instructive manner, and inciden-
tally said that while the Democratic
papers are slyly insinuating that re-
ciprocity is really free trade, 1 consider
it vastly different"
Reciprocity differs from free trade as
an hour differs from day, as a part
differs from the whole. Reciprocity is
free trade in enumerated articles be-
tween certain countries. 1t is there
fore modified free trade. and the adop-
ton Of that policy by the Harrison ad-
ministration at the urgency of Mr..
Blaine is an advance of the Republican
leaders toward the Democratic posi-
ton.
If reciprocity is good thing to en-
large the volume OF trade between the
United States and the countries on this
continent, it should be better thing
TO extend it to the European countries,
for We could look for much greater
trade with England. France and Ger
many than with Canada, Mexico and
the South American states. Whatever
is for our good should be made as wide
spread as possible to give us the largest
benefit
The Democratic policy is not free
trade between a few countries, but q
low tariff SO adjusted as to foster our
trade and commerce with all nations.

\ WORLDS FAIR CONVENTION.

CHICAGO, Ill, April II, 1891.
Editor Gazette, Fort Worth Tex:
As the legislature has failed to make an
appropriation TO have Texas represented at
the Worlds fair, viii you not strongly urge
the calling of state convention ut the
earliest possible moment in such city as
deemed most suitable. If the leading
papers in Texas will agree upon time and
place for holding this convention l will in
advance thereof visit several cities il diff
fercur sections of the state, accompanied
by prominent World fair representative TO
assist in arousing an enthusiastic interest
throughout the state and secure large at
tendance 1t the convention.
JonN r DICKEysoN.
World Fair Commissioner from Texas and
Secretary National Committee.
As there was no way to arrive at an
expression OF sentiment with regard to
the time and place for holding such
convention as the need of the state de-
mands in consequence of the legisla-
lures failure to provide for a state
exhibit at Chicago, and such conven-
ton as is contemplated in the above
telegram. the Fort Worth Chamber OF
Commerce. to whom was referred Mr..
Dickenson's telegram, decided to take
the action indicated in the call printed
elsewhere.
There is no time TO lose in this
matter, for now the people are left
to their own resources in formulating
4 plan OF action and putting that plan
into execution. Indeed, other conven-
tons may be necessary, and certainly
much time is required in which to
raise the funds and organize thor
oughly for what shall be creditable
state display. In this matter Texas

must be represented as whole at
Chicago, and in proceeding to act
upon Mr.. Dickenson's suggestion, Fort
Worth had in mind the necessity for
state unity and concert.
1t is to be hoped that between this
date and the day fixed for the conven-
ton, each and every county in the state
will discuss the best method to provide
a state exhibit and come to Fort Worth
prepared to debate and determine the
very best plan for making such presen-
tation at Chicago of Texas as state as
its greatness of resources, vastness of
area and need of development demand.
