THE "FARMERs' TARIFF.' IS

Exports and Imports OF Farm Produce
Mckinley Duties to HumbuE Farmers
Enormous Exports Make Duties on Farm
Products WOrthlsss-E'iEures For Farm
ers Who Think.
The pretense that our farmers derive
any substantial benefit from the duties
on farm products is one of those cheap
est tricks of the ProtectiOnists. A few
cold facts and figures will expose the
shallOwness of this attempt to gull the
farmers
Uncle Jerry Ruslz, the secretary of
agriculture, applauded the increase of
the duties on farm products. He re-
ferred to the increased prices prevail
ing for many farm products, and was so
simple as to claim that the Mckinley
duties had something to do with raising
prices Pointing to these higher prices,
he said with confident simplicity: 1T
IS impossible not to see the beneficial
influence of the tariff protection award
cd the farmer under the present law"
He also prOfessed to see that the wise
economic legislation already secured
hold out still brighter promise for the
future
But how can any possible duties on
farm products help the farmer? We
send out of the country ever. year mil
lions OF dollars worth of those products
over and above what we import How
can duties in such cases affect the price
leyites take the farmer to be such a fOsl
as not to be able to draw this evident
conclusion from the treasury reports of
our trade?
The farmer needs only to know what
IS in those reports, needs only to know
the figures showing our imports and
exports Of farm produce in order to un-
derstand what an iil-disguised humbug
AIcKinley's sO-called farmer tariff is
Here is a statement Of our imports
and exports Of the products for the ifs
cal year ended June so, 1890, together
with the old duty ana the Mckinley
duty in each;

the $500, 600 in city bonds that have just
been sold seems to be the aIi-absorbing
topic at present. | desire to state a few
facts in connection Herewith, that the cit
liens of this city may know the true condi-
ton of affairs. That the bonds were issued
for public improvement there can be no
question That the city council should ap-
ply the proceeds of said bonds in the man
ner indicated is without doubt. / desire to
call attention to the following facts: First,
that the ordinance authorizing the issue of
the bonds was passed more than one year
ago. The bonds were issued and placed on
the market. The day set for the sale was
sold on that date. as the public is well
aware. The title of the bonds is general
Improvement bonds At the time the
bonds were issued l was city secretary and
helped to prepare them with my own hands.
The reasons for calling the bonds general
improvement bonds were these: We had
under course of construction an electric
light plant, sewers. street improvements
and many other improvements that would
be necessary to nay for from bond issue
and we did not think il advisable to issue a
series of bonds for each separate improve
meut. that the proceeds of this recent
bond sale for the streets, sewers. public
school buildings and grounds, fire hall or
any other improvement the council might
see fit to use them for"
Chow does the council propose to use the
proceeds?"
I'VE propose 10 use the proceeds as was
recommended by the financial committee az
the time OF their issue"
''IIow was thatl'
'In retiring accrued Indebtedness for
permanent improvements. Had the bonds
been sold on last April, as was contem-
plated, there would not have been a scrip
or other debt on the city to-day. The I'M
provements would have been paid for as the
work progressed from the proceeds of these
bonds. as l have said before, the bonds
were not sold, but the Improvements have
gone steadily on, and the money arising
from advalorem taxes and set apart to pay
city laborers and employees, has been used
to pay for the permanent improvements as

the business in all its branches and depart
ments throughout the Lone Star state.
Matters of importance, greatly afectlng
the live stock raisers, feeder ana SHIPPER
as well as the butcher and consumer, Will
be discussed BIZ men of ability ana Keen
foresight, who are devoting their time and
money to the business.
That the livestock business of Texas is
not enjoying the prosperity 1t should is an
admitted fact; that it now has no state Or
ganization is equally true. 1t Is. therefore,
not only proper, but is duty that stock
men owe themselves to get together IN con-
vention and see if something cannot De
done to place this important industry Oh
more prosperous basis.
The CITY of Austsn, the capital of our
state, being centrally and conveniently
located, is the proper point at Whlch 10
meet and take the initiative step In this
important work. Her citizens are taxing
an active interest in the move, and are
making elaborate preparations TO entertain
and take care of all who may attendi no
election or delegates certificate IS
necessary. A cordial invitation IS extern
ded to every one in the state who is directly
or indirectly interested, either as producer,
consumer or dealer in livestock.
The Journal will not undertake to make
especial mention of the various matters
affecting the stock interest of Texas that
ton, but will merely refer to few of the
most important and in which all are inter
ested.
The government quarantine law, which
now is almost prohibitory as far as our
stock cattle traffic is concerned, will be
fully discussed and the secretary of agri-
culture asked to make such changes IN his
restrictions as justice may demand. The
best methods of breeding, feeding and mar
keting the products OF the state Will be
carefully looked into, and such improve
ments suggested as may appear of vital i'm
portaDce.
Railroad freiqhts win be looked into and
the services and aid of the state railroad
commission asked for should 1t be found
necessary.
Combinations, monopoiies and trusts, det-
rimental to the live stock interests, will not
be overlooked in the deliberations of the
convention.
In short, all matters materially affecting
the live stock interests OF the state will re-
ceive careful attention and such action as
may appear just and proper. To the end
that the good work may carry with 1t
the weight and influence its merits de-
mand, it is earnestly hoped that all VITO
possibly can do SO will attend.

An important convention of the stockmen

orally discussed, and will, no doubt, be
largely attended.
The Texas Live Stock Journal OF this city
will, in its next issue. refer editorially to
the convention as follows:
As is doubtless already known TO the read
ers of the Journal convention of the
stockmen and butchers of Texas is called to
meet at the city of Austin next Tuesday.
the 18th. This convention has been called
by and will be held under the auspices OF
the Green Beef and Feeders association Of
Travis county, and in which lively inter
est is being manifested by the business
men and citizens generally of the Capital
city.
The Journal is aware of the fact that
times are hard and money unusually scarce
among the stockmen of the state. So much
so that they perhaps feel that they can lily
afford to devote either time or money to
any enterprise other than required in the
economical conduct of their business. The
expense of this occasion has, however,, been
greatly lessened by reduction of railroad
and hotel rates. The expense will there
fore be of minor Importance, and will be
mere than Offset by the good that will &c

Don Campbell Acquitted of the Charge of
Numbering =. u. Ailibone.

Numbering \. ID. AIliDONe.
Monday afternoon the case of Don Camp
bell, charged with numbering a. ID. ALI
bone, cotton broker OF Shreveport, IN TINS
city last summer, was called, ana the entire
afternoon and the forenoon OF Tuesday was
consumed in securing jury. The case
went to trial Tuesday afternoon, and
Wednesday afternoon the evidence was all
in and County Attorney Gillespie for the
state and Q. I. Moreland for the defense
made their arguments. Yesterday morn
ing Attorneys Chapman and Robert Mozart
spoke, occupying the entire morning, anu
in the afternoon r. NJ. Wyune and j. G.
Kearby, the latter of Dallas, closed the case
the former for the defense and the latter o.
the prosecution.
1t was hard fight, as the best legal
talent was represented on both sides. The
trial was watched with much interest
throughout, as the defendant was prom
inent business man of this city, and the
dead man. Allibone, was equally as proml-
nent as a cotton broker at Shreveport, La,
anu both men were widely KIN own in other
cities.
After the shooting Campbell's examining
trial came off before Justice McClung, amt
he was denied bail. Not long afterward
Campbell's attorneys succeeded in getting 4
habeas corpus hearing before Judge Stead
man OF the t'orty-eighth district court, ana
Campbell was given bond in the sum or
$500. which he in a few days succeeded in
giving.
Yesterday afternoon at about 80 o'clock
the jury returned with verdict OF mot
guilty"
Campbell, from the first has been conf
dent, and at no time lost hope. His wife
sat with him all through the trial, as did
also many of the lady friends of Mr.. and
Mrs Campbell, and during the arguments
on both sides the ladies were in tears. but
throughout Campbell was an eager listener,
but at no time showed affectation.
When the verdict was returned the court
room was crowded, but all was still as
death, and the reading of the verdict was
heard by everyone. At its conclusion the
scene was indeed affecting, the friends of
M and Mrs. Campbell crowding around
them to offer congratulations to them and
their attorneys.

THE LOCAL STAGE.
The Admirably Artistic Performance of
Paul Rauvar To-NiSht-Rose COghI.n.

The Admirably Artistic Performance OF
Paul Rauvar To-NiSht-Rose COghl.n.
The attraction announced fer the opera
house for tonight aud Saturday and the
Saturday matinee, is a stirring and even
thrilling play in five acts entitled Paul
Kauvar." Its construction is so admirably
artistic that there is not dull passage nor
an anti-climaX from the rise to the fall OF
the curtain. The action of the play occu-
pies two and one-half hours, but so rapidly
do events of the most intense interest
crowd one upon the heels of another, that
the play-goer is hardly aware OF the lapse
of a single hour a long history is crowded
into the action of the play, and in order to
do this ii is necessary to make each and
every scene develop its share OF the story.
This makes it a play SO full of action and in
cident that one cannot afford to miss line
of it, and as the scenes are laid during the
Reign of Terror in France, 1t is easy to IN
derstand that the plot is one of intense and
thrilling interest. Our theater-goerS GER
tainly have q treat in sore.
A GREAT FAyORITE.
There are few actresses to-day before the
public who can rank with Rose COghlan as
regards experience and versatility. She
has now been travelling as star for many
seasons, and even during this period she
has been seen in "Our Joan" "Jocelyn,"
Lady Barter 'sNance Oldfield," Lon
don Assurance" and the general line of old
comedies, and now this season she is to
come before us in a new departure, "Doro
thy's Dilemma This is also the third
time that she has been identified with male
costume AS Rosa!ind she donned the
doublet and hose, and in "Jocelyn" we saw
her in knee breeches and stockings and
now she makes her appearance in the full
regimentals of an English dragon. feat
ure of Miss Coghlan's season is her COM
pany, which, she says, is by far the best
she has ever had. Each member has re-
ceived a good share of favorable commenda-
ton in every city where the company has
appeared. John T. Sullivan. leading man,
is well known for his good work, and SO is
William Redmund, who gave up a starring
tour in order to accept an engagement with
Miss Coshlan. Thomas Whitfen, a thor
oughly good comedian and a great favorite,
is in the company; John s. Marble and Ed
