THE PRESIDENTS VISIT.

In a few days the president OF the
United States will be on Texas soil.
The first time in her history the chief
MAGISTRATE of the country has ever
accented of the hospitality OF the big
hearted people dwelling between the
Sabine on the East and the Rio
Grande on the West.
In this instance our distinguished
visitor is a Republican. 1t is not,
however, as partisan the people OF
Democratic Texas will extend
hearty welcome to Gen. HarriSon, but
as the president OF the United
States-our president-who becomes
the guest OF the state and
to whom honor is due
as the head of the great government
of which Texas is one OF the most
loyal members.
During the few days President Har'
rison will remain in the state ne
should be made to feel that he has not
been in an enemy's country, but
among a people whose Inequalities
will evince thier repect for the chief
executive OF the nation. One good
result of the presidents visit will be
he will see us and the people OF the
south at their homes as they
are, and not as pictured by
the bloody shirt howlers OF
the Northern states whose business it
has been to put us in false light be-
fore our rulers and the people OF the
North, who have never understood
US.
1t is pity that the president could
not have come through Central
Texas, and seen the most populous
part of the state.

PETERS POSITION.

1t is gratifying that the newly
elected Kansas senator has emphatic
ally denied the report that he had
said that on all party questions he
would vote with the Republicans. 1t
is alleged he made the remark in de-
clining to be present at the Palmer
jubilee at Springfield. PETER, how
ever, has prepared an article for the
Kansas Farmer giving his real posi-
ton. In the meantime he has stated
in an interview that when he severed
his connection with the Republican
party it was for all time. The act, he
says, was deliberate and taden because
he saw reforms we're demanded
which the Republican party would
never undertake to perform. New
issues are now presented which that
party will never take hold Of, and that
is why he left it. eve must have
more money" says PETER, "and great
deal more. Besides we must have y
reasonable tariff law"
What Senator PETER SAYS has the
right ring about it. If he isn't 8
Democrat he is so close to it that he
will gradually fall into line with us
He wants tariff reduction and an en-
larged but not an inflated currency
SO do we. The Republicans want
high protective tariff, even higher thar
the Mckinley law carries it. They
advocate contraction, which robs thu
poor man and the laborer to enricl
the bondholder.
Consequently PETER and the Re-
publicans can't agree. Before he is
year in the senate Petler will be goot
Democrat, while his predecessor
Ingalls,, is hoeing his potatoes in thu
vicinity of Atchison.

AND NOW AUSTIN TO WORK!

Let u6 take a cool anu uoIiooi"N
view of things just as they have been
and are. For the past eighteen
months Austin has been in an unnat'
ural condition-divided between hope
and fear, between buoyant excitement
and the shoals of dependency. Sew
enteen months ago after most heated
contest Austin elected by a splendid
majority a mayor upon a definite
platform. Five months later, after
the most exhaustive discussion OF
that platform, its greatest plank TOOK
shape in law under the command OF
the people, speaking as 27 to l, and
Austin through her dam was pledged
to glorious victory. Then the town
was wild with enthusiasm, the
people seemed to forget how
many stages there are to the end OF a
long journey. They had at one JOY
GUS bound leapt to an accomplished
result. Austin was to them city OF
100000 people and riches abounded
everywhere. But cooler thought re-
vealed intermediate steps to be taken.
The bonds for the construction of the
dam had to be sold. 1t is useless to
90 into the history Of the months be-
tween May and October 10, when
100000 Of those bonds were sold.
It is enough to recall how doubt of
the sale OF those bonds was studiOusly
by some circulated and the people
kept on tenter hooks until on the
night of October ID their joyous
shouting and the Gin and glare Of
fireworks told the bonds had been
sold. But there came two other pro-
voking delays-the railroad to the dam
site and new city charter. The first
should and would have been disposed
OF by last January had not the city
council by the most ridiculously, I'M
business.like action delayed its finish
ing even until q fortnight later than
now. But the end of that work is 80
plainly in view it may be considered
as finished. AS to the city charter,
for four and half months that has
been most vexing question but past
all it's sea OF troubles it is now in the
governors hands, who has said it will
become law without opposition from
him.
Enough of history, what of the fu-
ture? With our doubts and fears con-
ouered, what of Our purposes for the
future? Have we been unnerved by
the uncertainties of the past few
months and by their money
stringency? Or have we not
the rather drank from them
stronger courage, more undaunted
purpose, more uncomfortable resolved
The past is gone and Austin has cap
tured every fortress she has stormed
but there are still other heights tc
scale. Austin has told 1876 represen
tatives OF every section of the state
what she intended to do. We made
no vainglorious boasts, but simply
pointe to facts and figures. Shall
not those representations all be real
lied to the very fullest extent? lii
this work there is some duty for every
man in Austin however humble he
may be. The first duty is never to
say one word OF evil but all of good
about your town. Be full of good
cheer and strong purpose yourself and
your neighbor will soon be enthused,
Remember "there is no such word as
fail" There is a clear stretch now
ahead but its up grade and every
mans shoulder must be pressed CLOSE
up behind the wheel. Are you neigh
Dor, and you, and you doing you
full duty by Austin? If not be en-.

The Fiat Value Cranks.

In his New York speech Mr.. Harri-
son says he believes he speaks "that
which is the common thought of all
of us" in saying that "every dollar
should be everywhere and at all times
as good as every other dollar"
IF he so believes, his creed condemns
his conduct, for it was not long ago
that he signed bill to cheaper the
dollar in one pocket and make it more
valuable in another.
Before he signed the Mckinley bill
asdollar was only good for fourteen
pounds of sugar. Now it is good for
twenty. So every person who has a
dollar with which he wishes to buy
sugar has had its buying power in
creased six pounds of sugar.
The Mckinley bill thus increases
the sugar price of the dollar, because
it gives free trade in raw sugar.
But by increasing the taxes on
several thousand other articles in
common use it diminished the pur-
chasing power of the dollar in trade
for them. Except in the single article
of sugar, it cheapened the dollar.
Under the Mckinley bill, the dol.
lar offered for free-trade sugar is not
a hundred-cent dollar, but a coin
worth 140 cents and upwards, when
its purchasing power now is compared
with its purchasing power for taxed
sugar. And the dollar offered for any
one Of the thousands of articles on
which excessive taxes are imposed by
the Mckinley bill is not Hundred
Cent dollar. 1t is generally less than
a seventy-five-cent dollar.
The "fat money" people wish to
cheaper the dollar by printing enough
fresh money on good cheap paper to
give everybody some. The Mckinley
people cheaper it even more effectual.
ly by passing laws to decrease the
amount of the dollars worth, so that
those who monopolize supply. can

A Combine in Glass.

A combination of the table glass.
ware manufacturers of Pennsylvania,
Ohio and West Virginia was perfected
at Pittsburg July 10. 1t comprises
eighteen firms and has capital stock
of 81 100000. Mr.. ID. G. Ripley is
president of the combine. 1t is per-
haps unnecessary to say that the Nc
Kinley bill increased the tax on glass
ware. Under the old law, the tax on
plain pressed glassware was 40 per cent,
and on ornamented, engraved or dec
Grated goods it was 45 per cent. The
new rates are respectively 60 and 70
per cent, besides the duty on packages
and charges, imposed by the admins
trative law, which amount to from 5
to 10 per cent.
This Mr.. Ripley appeared before
the Ways and Means Committee when
the tariff bill was pending and asked
for an increase Of taxes. He said in
reference to class Of tumblers,
specimen of which he exhibited,
1--WE think on this class of goods our
labor should be protected" and this
was the burden of his song. Tho pur-
pose of the new combination, however,
is stated to be "to systematic the
workings of the several plants and to
secure such economies in cost as may
result from a consolidation of interest"
There is nothing here about protect
ing labor; the employers are to be the
beneficlares of the trust, and labor
must take care of itself.
Incidentally it appears from Mr..
Ripley's statement before the commit
tee that the tariff protects labor and at
the same time reduces the cost of the
article upon which the tax is levied.
He also exhibited plain whisky glass
which sells here for SO cents, but which
is sold by the importer for "a cents
per dozen, and he informed the COM
mittee that "our labor on it would cost
us AZ cents" 1t is not apparent how
those articles are ever to be made here
and be sold for less than the imported
articles now cost, whatever the tax
may be. Perhaps the new combine
may solve the problem but if it does,
labor will not be greatly benefited by
the solution.
Foraker will probably use this and
the other trusts to show that if Sher-
man goes back to the senate he will,
in compliance with his promise. vote
to repeal the Mckinley bill.-Louis-
vile Courier-Journal.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1891-09-16

trade in raw sugar in the same bill
which increased the taxes on every
thing else. They cheapened the value
of every dollar except the sugar dol
lar. Sugar standard dollars are
worth AZ per cent. more than they
were last year, and at least 60 per
cent. more than dollars measured by
the clothing standard, the tin-plate
standard, the barbed-wire standard,
the window-glass standard, or any one
of the hundreds of other standards by
which the dollar is measured every
time il is offered for the necessaries
and comforts of life.
Under the Mckinley bill, the sugar
dollar is monetized, or almost so. But
dollars used in buying the goods of
the protected trusts are always below
par.
1t is not less a lunacy, and even
more a political crime, to try to put
fiat value into commodities than it
is to stamp it on piece of paper.
The fiat money people and Mr.. Harri-
son are in the same boat. He has no
right to make mouths at them when
he is an advocate of fiat values just
as they are. When law is passed
saying "This lot of tin-plate, now
worth 81, shall be worth $3.50 here
AFTER" how does it differ in reality
from the law which says "This piece
of paper, now worth half cent, shall
be worth a dollar hereafter ?" The
one is just as much a process of at
tempting to create fiat value as the
other. The objects are diverse, but
the one cheapens the dollar as does
the other.
Mr.. Harrison is q fiat value crank"
in the worst stage of the delusion, and
it does not become him to ridicule the
mental weakness of those who are
suffering from a milder form of the
anne disease. Elk.

Forty Cents a Day in Chicago.

The Mckinley organs in Chicago
are now trying to break the force of
the disclosures relative to the pauper
wages paid in the clothing industry in
this city by declaring that similar
labor in London, Paris, Vienna and
Rome is paid no better.
So it comes to that, does it? After
the people of the United States have
been taxed thousands of millions to
enrich few protected interests on
the false pretense that such taxation
was necessary to maintain wages, they
make the discovery that women in
Chicago are working on pantaloons,
coats, vests and cloaks for 40 cents a
day, and when they express surprise
and indignation they are coolly asked
if the people engaged in the same
lines in European cities are any better
paid.
1t will occur to some intelligent
Americans, no doubt, that that is not
the question. The millions of plumb
err exacted by the tariff benefciaries
are demanded on the promise that they
will divide the spoil with their en-
ployes. They do not do it. They
pocket it. They hire their labor in
the cheapest market. They sell their
products in tariff,cornered market
for two prices.
Let the people remember that the
best the clothing protects have to
offer in palliation of their starvation
wages in Chicago is the assertion that
similar pauper laborers in Europe re-
ceive no more.-Chicago Herald.
