Who Is a Democrat?
Houston Post.

Governor Barnett Gibbs declares that the
expulsion of member of the Democratic
executive committee of Dallas county be-
cause he favored the sub-treasury plan was
without precedent and without warrant.
He defines Democrat as - man who votes
the ticket, whether on one or every plank
Of the PLATFORM Governor Gibbs is the
authorized organizer of Democratic clubs
in Texas, and must therefore be accepted
as authority, especially as his ruling is in
exact accord with that of the chairman of
the state executive committee a year ago.
Somehow, though, this definition is not al
together satisfactory. \ firm believer in
Jeffersonian Democracy, in all the tenets of
the party without reservation, might refuse
to vote the ticket if sub-treasuryites should
capture the primaries and make objection

a Democrat The Independent or Mug

The Extra Session.
La Grange journal.

Some of the Texas papers seem to be very
impatient because Governor Hogg does not
convene the legislature in extra session.
They should possess their souls with pa
thence. The extra session will be called at
the proper time, which will be, at the
latest, the second Tuesday in January. A
great many of the legislators are farmers
who are busy gathering their crops and
looking after their interests. and would not
care to leave their home sooner.

The Bell County Alliance has re-
solved in favor of the alien land law
and the sub-treasury scheme. 1t is
right that the two follies should go
hand in hand. The one leads to the
other. The alien land Law was shrewdly
indorsed by the sub-treasury schemers,
but now that the Democrats have an
inkling of their game there are not
many Democrats who can be used to
promote the devices OF Macune. Surely
in vain is the snare spread in sight of

ANOTHER GIANT FRAUD IN THE
CFNSTS

Protection organs have been faunt-
ing in the face Of the public for months
our boosted per capita wealth, which,
is claimed, has grown from $514 in 1860
to 1899 in 1S90-a glorious triumph of
protection. A recent issue of the New
| York World exposes in the most di-
rect and convincing manner the we'll
| executed fraud by which Mr.. Porter's
census is made to misrepresent the
facts and deceive the people. The
fraud is Of gigantic proportions, and
worthy of the political manipulator
| that conceived and executed it. The
| plot was Matched in the wealth division
| OF the census bureau, and in brief con-
| trasting the increase of combined taxed
and untaXed wealth under protection
| with the taxed wealth alone under free
trade.
Wealth being classed as taxed and
| untaXed, the records show that in this
country 40 per cent of the wealth is
taxed and 81 per cent untaxed.
That which is taxed is assessed at an
average Of 10 per cent of its real value.
| Since 1870 the value of untaxed, as well
as taxed, and also the true as well as
| the assessed value OF the latter, have
| been placed in the census records. In
| 1850 the assessed valuation of taxed
| property was put down at So, 0S4, 500,-
| 005, and the true value OF the same at
| SIG, 159, 6l6,06S. No account whatever
| was taken of the value OF untaxed prop
erty, which, as stated above, is 81 per
cent of the whole. The census for 1870
shows that the assessed value OF taxed
property declined from $12, OSi. 800, COS
to 81. 342, 7S9, 500. But Mr.. Porter says
that during this decade, when assessed
values declined nearly billion, the
| actual wealth increased from SIG, 1884,
616,O6S to S30,O6S, $3.50 OF course
such a thing is preposterous. The
fraud in these figures is found in the
misuse of the words actual wealth."
which Mr.. Porter says was $40, 159, &c.
06S in 1860, when as a matter OF fact it
was S31, POI, 910,616. This is found by
taking the ratio of taxed to untaxed
wealth and making the proper esti-
| mate. The balance is thus restored be-
tween the assessed valuation and the
actual wealth of the decade.
The per capita wealth in 1860, based
on The combined taxed and llntayed
wealth was S993. Mr.. Porter, basing
it on taxed wealth alone, for the pur-
pose of false comparison, puts it at
ssh. The per capita of lS90-the total
actual wealth OF taxed and untaxed
property, which is put down at So, &c.
000, 600, being taken as the basis, is
found to be $500, or an increase over
that of 1860 of Sc for thirty years, or
20 cents year. BY Mr.. Porter's false
comparison the increase is s4S5. Again,
the true value of taxed property in 1860
was SIG, 159,616,0 6S, and in 1890 it was
So, 49, $50, 404. These are the official
figures OF the census. With them as
basis, the per capita for the former pc
Rod is S514, and for the latter s5I7, or
an increase for the three decades OF So.
a measly 10 cents a year. Again, let
US turn from the true to the assessed
value OF taxed property and see what it
discloses for a series of years.

The demand OF the people as crystal
lied at San Antonio was for law pro-
hibiting corporate ownership of large
bodies of agricultural or grazing lands.
But the land corporations pulled the
wool over the eyes of the Texas legis-
lature and started the cry against
aliens-it was popular to damn the
British" and the blinded people see
more harm to Texas in offering security
to money than in the ownership OF
millions of acres of Texas lands by in
dividuals living outside of the state.

The decision of the Waco district
court that the alien land law is uncon-
stitutionai, and therefore OF no effect
from the beginning, is what everybody
looked for. The best lawyers OF the
state had declared that it was fatally
detective, and it only needed to be
brought to judicial test to demon
strate that fact. An appeal will prob
ably be taken to the supreme court, as
this decision is not final, though, being
an official Interpretation OF the law, it
is a step toward the overthrow of that
law. There can be no doubt that the
decision will be affirmed, and that the
Gossett law will no longer stand as
a menace to the prosperity OF Texas.
