been subjected to drought of such Sc
verify as to render the production of the
necessaries of life impossible.
The season for planting this year Fls
passed and early crops having been
killed by frost there is no hope for re-
lief unless summer rains should Secur0
q light fall crop.
The loss of stock, the depreciation in
value of all kinds of property, the ina-
bility of ranchmen to procure money
for the payment of taxes, the prevalence
of smallpox through section extend
ing through San Ignacio in Zapata
county, to Rio Grande City in Starr
county and the baleful effects of the
Cara revolution combined have pro-
duced a destitution hitherto unknown.
The losses on cattles the principal in
dustry of this section, are estimated at
so per cent, and in Nueces county alone
GO, 900 head have died.
The famine district contains popula-
ton estimated at $4,000 to 90, 600 people,
and probably one-quarter of this num-
Der require assistance, while the re-
sources of the balance of the population
are only adequate to maintain them

tional wealth. The rest has beer
mortgaged, assigned, sold or trans
ferred in one way or another to the
non-producing class, who control at
present nearly eighty per cent of the
national wealth. 1t is now nowhere
disputed that thirty thousand men own
more than one-half the national wealth,
while the rest of the people, over sixty
four million, own the other half.
1t is facts like these which form the
basis of the protests which we hear
coming from Christian pulpits constant
ly. To such facts the vast organization
of labor is chiefly due.
How far legislation is responsible for
this unfortunate drift the mass of the
people mean to know between now and
next November. That a system of
sweeping taxation, which has thrived
for nearly thirty years, is largely re-
sponsible, great majority OF the peo-
pie have already expressed their con-
viction at the polls.
And what financial legislation has
had to do with it the people are going
to ask, too. This is going to be a cam
paign of education in many ways
When the battle of reason becomes gem
