San Saba County news. [volume] (San Saba, Tex.) 1874-19??, 1892-06-03

blind the people of San Saba
county on tariff, to forget that
the farmers Of the west and north
west are effected by the tariff just
as we are, and does not stop to tell
you that they have and are leav-
ing the oldrepublican party by the
hundreds of thousands, coming to
the "Third Party" That they like
the democratic farmer of the
south, have been promised reform
by the leaders, till they now turn
away and will in the future rely
upon themselves. Democrat
forgot or don't know, that the st.
Louis conference is strong for tar
if reduction; ne forgets that the
Alliance of this nation, north,
south, east and west at the Indian
apolis session of the national
body demanded that congress put
all cotton goods on the free list,
and the men from the west, who
had always voted the republican
ticket introduced the resolution,
and voted solidly for it, and that
every sub-alliance in this nation
has endorsed the action of the
National body. The difference
between the Third Party" people
and their leaders. and leaders Of
the democrats and republicans is,
that they are in real earnest about
not only tariff reform, but with
regard to land, transportation and
currency reform as well; while the
leaders of the two old parties are
playing a "make believe" game
to keep in Office, not intending to
do anything. In proof of this, the
the bill known as the Mckinley
law and the Mills bill differed very
little, one-quarter of cent per
yard on calico, and about five cents
on the dollar on the whole tariff
list. Thus it is plain that it is on
ly intended to "whim" about tariff,
neither old party doing anything,
both wanting and bidding for the
supporter the rich manufacturers
and money power of the east;
while the people are to be voted
again for their preiudices and go
one step lower in the scale Of hui
mon degradation. The present
congress has put raw wool on the
free list, thus placing our sheep
men" at the mercy Of the Austria
Ian wool growers, but took good
care to let all Mckinley tariff stay
on wooden goods. Who does this
favor "Democrat?' 1t is said
that the Australian sheep produce
more wool on their tails than our
sheep do ON the whole body. This
wool is shipped at cost of one
cent only to the Atlantic. Thus
a democratic house destroys the
wool growers of this country,
helps the manufacturer, lets the
people suffer and still howls about
tariff reform.
Democrat says the democratic
party offers you free silver and
tariff reformation" 1 know the
leaders have promised it, but what
are the facts? The present house
is more than 100 democratic ma
jority and although they pledged
free coinage of silver in their plat
forms so did the republicans) and
from every stump, yet that meas
ure was defeated in the house by
a tie vote with IL republicans and 9
alliance men voting for free coin
age, and since that vote, twice in
the house, in the committee of the
whole, with Mr.. NJ. Lester of Geor-
gia in the chair an amendment
was offered for free coinage of sill
yer to the Sundry civil bill, and
twice he ruled it out of order, and
twice was an appeal taken from
the decision, and twice was the
chair sustained by Il large MAORI
ty, and the Southern democrats
thus killed free coinage of silver.
Whether lhird party men have
any hope ofsurcess in their depar-
ture, having LEFT the machine, they
certainly will accomplish as much
if not more than to remain in the
machine" and let Tamany of New
York, the money power of the
eastern states and the English
lords and bondhoIders rule them
Third party men have no conf
Idence in either of the old parties
