TOM GROWN AND THE PROTECTIVE
COMMISSION.


COMMISSION.
One of the reasons offered by Col.
Tom Brown in his debate with Seth
Shepard at Brenham for continuing
the present commission law and its
sponsor Governor Hogg was that its
purpose was to preserve Texas for
Texans and prevent foreign products
from coming in and competing with
our home products. This is the same
reason given by the Rep ublican party
for perpetuating the protective tariff
and the Democrats have shown con.
clusively that such laws Cypress
the many and enrich the few
This theory has prevailed as nation
al policy for quarter of century
Texas has, every four years, rolled up
from 100000 to 100000 majority
against it, Now it is proposed to foist
the same principle in different form
upon the state as state
expecting that the Democratic
party of Texas will stultify
itself. 1t is proposed to build a
Chinese wall around Texas by fix.
ing the rates between points
in this state so low that products
from other states cannot compete
with those of Texas thus enabling the
Texas manufacturer to charge more
for their products, AS the farmers Of
Texas are the principal consumers of
manufactured products it is easily
seen who will have the burden to
bear. This burden is made the heav.
Ter by reason of the farmers depend
ence upon other states for market
for his products, the shipping rates on
which the state commission has very
little to do such regulation coming
under the supervision of the
Interstate commission. The farmers
of Texas never gave their support to
the railroad commission as a measure
to be used for the purpose of cutting
off all competition from other states
for they well know that their surplus
must find market among the very
people the commission would prohibit
from selling to the farmer. Will the
Democrats of the banner state coun.
tenance this move to fasten upon
them the principle they
have fought so valiantly for
years? Texas wants freedom. She

cracy of protected manufacturers at
home after long years of battle against
national system of favoritism to
which her people have paid tribute
under Republican rule. The farmers
have been the principal sufferers IN
der the protective tariff system and it
is they who will suffer under a
high protective commission system.
The commission is here to stay but
it must not be perverted, and made to
serve the purpose of the advocates of
favoritism. The commission must be
placed in the hands of Democrats who
are loyal to Democratic principles,
and who will adhere to the doctrine
of equal rights to all and special priv
ileges to none.

urers for the month of October for taxes
collected; the tax money collected since
that date is in the First National bank to
the credit of the collector as an official
fund.
During the years that this county had
Democratic sheriffs and collectors the tax
funds in the months of October and
November of every election year
were used for the purposes of buying
votes and oorrupting the voters.
These are facts that can be veri-
fed by any person who desires to verify
them. Conklin is an honest man and
good official. The most bitter fight is
made on him as the gang well knows. With
the sheriff and collector its creature, the
county funds can be used for political
purposes and for personal ends.
1t is matter of the utmost import
ance to the property holders and to the
citizens who are tax payers and want
taxes honestly collected and honestly
accounted for, that G. NJ. Conklin should
be elected to the office which for fifteen
months he has filled orsditably, ably,
oourageously and honestly.

WAGES RISING.
The Incontrovertible Evidence Afforded
by the Census Reports.

/ The InCOntfOVefllDlc I.NINeilCo AHoFNSu
by the Census Reports.
Every indication deserving the notice
of intelligent men which has hitherto
appeared has pointed unerringly to the
fact that the people, especially the
working people Of this country were
never before so well off as now in the
midst of the campaign Of calamity
waged by the Democratic party Com,
missioner Peck's report and the senate
report on prices and wages showed this
and they were backed up by the state
ments of half a dozen other official re-
ports from various states on industrial
conditions
Unfortunately the complete census
returns Of the progress made since 1880
are not yet available but the partial re-
ports which have appeared corroborate
| in every particular the reports from
other sources. Most significant are the
census figures given out from Washing
| ton. They relate to some Of the princi
pal industrial centers in the country
and tell a story not at all comforting to
the free trade Democracy.
1t appears that in Chicago average an
nual wages per capita increased from
$436 to $3.50, or $500 per cent, in the
I census period; in Buffalo average wages
increased from &ll3 to $500, Or 21,55 per
cent; in Rochester from 1857 to $5l2
or $43. 90 per cent, in Denver from $3.50
to $793, or $48.29 per cent, in Lynn
from $40 to $500, or 20.57 per cent
Two cities in the south--the stronghold
of American Cobdenism--ar consid
cred, Both show far greater increase
than any of the others. Wages in Nash
vile increased from an average of S274
in 1880 to $40 in 1890, a gain of S. 81
per cent, while Atlanta shows an in,
crease from S949 to $420, or $73.55 per
cent, in the yearly earnings per capita
of its working people.
A recent census report has shown that
in the Democratic city of New York
average wages per capita increased more
/ during the census period than in any Of
the northern or western cities mentioned
above. They were S427 in 1880 and $653
or 1898 per cent. greater, in 1890
The eminent free trader, Edward At
kinson, in The Forum of last May said
"There has never been a period in the
history Of this or any other country
when the general rate Of wages was as
high as it is today, nor a period when
the workman, in the strict sense of the
word, has so fully secured to his own
use and enjoyment such a steadily and
progressively increasing proportion Of
constantly increasing product"
This statement is borne out by the Off.
cial figures of the census office and the
reports of the different state bureaus Of
labor statistics.
American workingmen have in the fig,
ures here given q fairly accurate gauge
of the rate at which their condition has
improved and is improving There is
little likelihood that they will stop the
process of improvement by their votes
on election day. They are not yet tired
of progress and prosperity, No free
trade! No pauper laborl-New York

CATRON AS A BUSINESS MAN.

Some of the Democratic White Cap
sheets hint that Mr.. Catron could be ex-
cused for being large property owner
if ever he had done anything to improve
his property. What mess of rot this is.
People in Santa Fe, Lincoln, Grant, Dona
Ana, Rio Arriba San Miguel and Mora
counties, where Mr.. Catron owns prop
erty, know him to be ever on the alert
for expending money in improving his
lands, ranches, hocks, herds and orchards,
and as for mining, he is known to be one
of the most fearless investors, always
willing to take the last chance in striking
pay streak. There is no legitimate
business enterprise in New Mexico that
he has not invested money in whenever
he could see his way clear to reaping a
fair return, help the territory and his
fellowman.

W. n. PATTERSON.

W. H. Patterson, of Kelly, is the Re-
publican nominee for the council from
the district composed of the counties of
Socorro and Sierra. Mr.. Patterson has
made an active and energetic campaign
the past three weeks, visiting nearly every
precinct in the counties named.
Mr. Patterson is a native of Piketon,
Ohio, and was born in 1856; he attended
the public schools in his town until II
years of age when he engaged in teach
ing school for two years. He took a
course of two years at the Ohio Wesleyan
university at Delaware, Ohio, and
then took Horace Greely's advice
and came west, getting as far as
Cimmaron, Kansas, where he settled
for while and farmed quar-
ter section of land. He then headed for
the mountains remaining at Leadville
where he worked for several years as a
miner and in the Grant smelling works.
He took trip to what was then Washing
ton territory and came to New Mexico
and to San Pedro in Santa Fe county in
1882, and has been a resident of this ter
ritory ever since.
When the San Pedro works closed in
1883 he went to Socorro county and into
the Magdalena mining district. Since
then he has been in that district engaged
in mining and merchandising.
Mr.. Patterson is practical miner and
mine operator; he is we'll known as a
straightforward, honest and good bust
nessman and was put up by the Republican
party that the miners of Sierra and So
zorro counties, two of the best mining
counties in New Mexico, might have a
representative in the ASSEMBLY; if elected
the interests of the miners will be care
fully and successfully looked after by him
as will the interests of the people of
those counties as whole.
The indications are favorable to Mr..
Patterson's election and it is to be hoped
for the good of the territory and of his
Legislative district that he will be success
full by handsome majority.

Union Veterans, Attention.

In his letter of acceptance Grover
Cleveland makes bid for the soldier
vote by devoting paragraph of hypo-
critical praise to the men who saved the
nation in the hour of danger. The
veterans know Mr.. Cleveland. They
know Benjamin Harrison. No amount
of fattery by the Democratic candidate
or of Justification by his party organs
can obliterate the record. The Press
herewith presents the first absolutely
accurate statement published showing
the facts in regard to the treatment Of
the Union veterans by Mr.. Cleveland
and President Harrison.
During his four years of office Mr..
Cleveland signed !, 246 pension bills and
vetoed 524. Up to the present time
Benjamin Harrison has signed 1915
special pension bills and vetoed none.
Veterans of the Union, which will you
support, the politician who sent a SUBJ
stitute to the front and as president took
malignant pleasure in adding to his
pension vetoes every sneer of which his
clumsy wit was capable, or the loyal
comrade who shared your perils with
you, and whose pen has gladly signed
every bill to relieve your needs that has
come before him?-New York Press.

LDOKING FIRST CLASS.

As the day for the great elective strug-

takes on very roseate hue in certain
quarters which have, until now, been
deemed by some to be of doubtful
nature. Within the past few days things
have changed very much for the better for
Republicans in Kansas, Colorado, Oregon,
Virginia, Indiana and New York. The
tide that has set in in these states
of late has set Republican observers to
talking more confidently than ever, and we
look for returns therefrom on Tuesday
next that will rather astonish some of the
political prophets in this region.

JOSEPH KILLED OFF,

The campaign is coming to an end and
the Democratic lawyer bosses at Albu-
querque have attained their end in one
particular; they have succeeded in show
ing up Joseph's character in its true
light; be he defeated or be he elected, in
that respect it matters not. Joseph
stands before the people of this territory
self convicted liar in many instances
and it has also been fully demonstrated
that his land grant transactions will not
bear the searchlight of thorough inves-
tigation. Should he ever come up for
anything in the future the damnable
record he has made in this campaign will
be brought out against him and defeat
him.
Public opinion is growing in this ter
ritory and Joseph's record will not be for
gotten, Poor Joseph.
