THE TARIFF ON OATMEAL.

The Republican party has declared
its opposition to trusts in a general
way, and specifically did all it could
indirectly to foster them.
The Mckinley bill, for example,
doubled the tariff on oatmeal. Why?
For no other purpose than to enable
the oatmeal manufacturers to put the
prices of oatmeal as high as they
please. 1t is shown that in 1890 the
imports of oatmeal were 2,3I2, l06
pounds. and the exports p, 400, 322
pounds. The exports were more than
ten times greater than the imports,
proving. OF course, that the country
produced more oatmeal than it could
consume. If a certain quantity was
imported, it was because OF the differ
ent and perhaps superior quality, just
as we import in small quantities and
for special reasons Canadian or Euro
pean wheat, rye or barley or other
things Doubling the tariff won't keep
it out altogether. but it will enable, and
in fact has already enabled. the manufac-
turers OF oatmeal to combine and de-
mand higher prices from home con-
sumers than they can get in foreign
markets. How much more profitable it
is to bleed the home market freely
than to sell extensively abroad
for small profit. That is what
preserving the home market"
means. what it has always meant. This
oatmeal duty is a fine thing for the
manufacturers. but how does it help
the farmer? He does not make oat-
meal. lie only raises oats which he
must sell to the combine. II the COM
bine, protected from outside COMPETE
ton by the tariff wall, can push up the
price OF oatmeal at will, it can just as
easily pull down the price of oats. It's
power is no greater one way than it is
the other. So that the oatmeal tariff
can be made an instrument of oppres-
sion, of plumber and robbery to the man
who plants, reaps and gamers oats.

ELSEWHERE in this paper we have men,
toned the great Mahoney land sale. It is
certainly Il new departure in land circles,
and its phenomenal success showed the wis
dom OF the great scheme by which the
original idea was made perfect.
Coleman county has been better adver-
tised than any county in the state, the num-
Der present being over five hundred bust
ness men. and those having as many more
friends, the news Of the natural advantages
of this great country viii be carried by rep
resentative men to every town and county
in which these gentlemen reside. and Mr.
Mahoney certainly deserves praise and
credit of those Interested in the progress of
the country; indeed all the people OF this
county desires is that the country can be
seen and known by intelligent men 10 be ap-
preciated for its fine agricultural resources.
In nearly every instance the land was sold
to good, solid farmers living in different
localities throughout the state. There is a
great deal more of this land, and we invite
all good citizens to come and see it.-ECole-
man Voice.
But the advertising of this sale was
done almost exclusively in THE GA
ZETTE, and the success OF the sale is
the strongest attestation Of the value of
this paper as medium and OF the in
telligence of Mr.. John Howard in his
use OF printers ink As an advertising
medium THE GAZETTE has no superior
in Texas.

North Texas counties, bordering on the
Indian Territory, are playing in hard luck
this wear \ few weeks ago that section
was visited by terrible hailstorm which
damaged crops and other property TO Il
great extent. followed in few days by Al
cyclone which carried death and deStruc-
ton in its path. And now comes the I'M
welcome news that the Red river is on a
rampage, and the angry, swollen waters of
the stream are carrying on their bosom
families, horses ana hundreds of cattle,
aud have washed away acre after acre of
growing crops. South Texas extends her
sympathy to this unfortunate section.
- Houston Post.
The rivalry between the various sec
tons OF the state is all right until it
assumes d phase indicated by the above
misleading paragraph. North Texas"
comprises an area larger than two or
binary states, and the damage from
hail and cyclone was limited to a few
farms. How does the Post expect to
injure North Texas in public estimate
without injury to all Texas? Good
crops mean immigration-a failure
of crops from any cause) the reverse.
North Texas never had such crops as
are now being harvested. But such
tales as the Post tells would create the
impression that North Texas was
ruined, and people outside the state
would read this to mean the crops in
all sections of Texas.

but as the betrayer to lady friend Of
secret that he had promised an old
friend to preserve inviolate. Breathing
hint of Gordon Cummings card cheat
ing to Lady Brooks spread the affair
throughout the kingdom and brought on
the suit for SANDER that engaged the
attention of the world last week.
To the American mind, the attitude
of the prince in the baccarat scandal is,
or should be, humiliating in the ex-
IRENE. That the heir to great throne
should be made of such common clay,
appears trife homogeneous. 1t is not
so in England, however, save among
the nonconformist sectaries, who, of
course. raise their voices against the
scandalous affair. because it is re-
fection on the established church to
which the prince and the nobility be-
long. They never miss an opportunity
to hit that institution, and this baccarat
affair is right to their hand.
But whatever the nonconformists
may say, the average Briton, who is ac-
customed to such things, will pass it by
as trife, and sing God Save the
Queen" with the same patriotic fervor
that warmed the hearts of his ancestors
in bygone DAYS.

THE RACcARar SCANDAL.

The firm hold which the monarchy
has on the great bulk of the English
people is clearly proved by their
respect for royalty and continued toler-
ance OF titles and Difference for the
aristocracy in spite of the ever-recur-
ring scandals that agitate social circles
in the tight little isle" In spite Of
the gradual growth of the democratic
spirit and of these sentiments of
equality that are universal with us, the
titled and the greas in England con-
tinue to practice the vices and indulge
the tastes and habits that characterized
medieval days. W ales is the Prince
Hal OF to-day in manner no less en-
phatic than that of his prototype,
Henry the Fifth. The latter never
sowed more wild oats, or frolicked.
gained and intrigued more than Wales.
Although he is fifty years old and a
grandfather, he is made to appear in a
law court not only as banker in a game
OF cards where the stakes were high.

THERE is no better reason" said an
Alliance orator in Kansas the other
day, speaking 10 crowd of farmers,

Certainly not. Common decency says

IT WILL be remembered that Senator
Farwell preached . theory at the last
session OF congress, that rain may be
produced by artificial methods, if gone
about in the right way. His theory
contemplated the explosion of dyna-
mite bombs discharged from balloons in
midair. Congress gave him an appro-
priation of $1,000 wherewith to make
the experiment. This week he goes
with company of Washington
scientists TO the Great American Desert
TO put his theory to the test. ii the
senator has no better luck in pelting
the skies with bombs than he had in
peppering the president with paper
bullets at the last session. his rain
theory will not supply water enough
for duck to swim in.

not the Albuquerque develop from Dallas
or Fort Worth-but THE GAZETTE seems
alone in recognizing this act.-[Seymour

The development that would follow the
building of the Albuquerque out through
Young, Throckmorton, Haskell and on
northwestward would be amazing. We be-
lieve seriously, that if Fort Worth had left
all her other enterprises alone and concen-
trated her strength on building this line of
railroad, she would have been made by it
