1hat promise was made on the 18th of
November. 1892. How has it been full
affairs can be pretty clearly understood
from the following dispatch from Wash
| lngton, dated the I'd of July:
The comparative statement of the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the government

More Light from Texas.
| After the sheep-growers and business
men of San Angelo, Tex, held a meet
| ing in June to protest against the free
| wool provisions of the Wilson bill, the
secretary was authorized to send the
| following dispatch, which, with the an
swer, form some interesting reading:
San Angelo, June u. 1s94.-To Senator
| John Sherman. Washington, D. c.: Has
Senator Mills shown you telegram of reso-
lutions passed by citizens mass meeting
here yesterday in regard to wool as per in
Chas. W. Hobbs, Secretary.
Washington. June 15 1S94.-Chas. W.
Hobbs, Secretary, San Angelo: Senator
lied me to state to Senate action of your
meeting. which will do. John Sherman.
The meeting was largely composed of
Democrats; and the curious thing about
the matter is that the Democratic farm
ers and business men of the rock-ribbed
| Democratic state of Texas, should ask
John Sherman, a Republican senator Of
| Ohio, to act as a Texas senator in repre-
| senting them on the question of protecting
| their business interests against the de-
| Structiye influence of a Democratic Con-
gress.

The New York Sun on the Democratic
situation at Washington: "Old platforms

of elimination furnished. On public

Some Points of Interest.
President should understand that the
popular apprehension springs not so much
| from croaking as from distrust of the
party now in control of the national
finances. The croaking of w.nch he
complains does not compare with that in
the place he now holds. If he win whip
his wild congressional team into line for
sensible action he will have no need for
solemn assurances and warnings against
listening to disquieting tales"
The Springfield (Mass.) Union: ''The
Democratic party in 1892 because that
party promised ''doilar wheat" have
learned that Democratic promises are not
worth fifty cents on dollar
| A senator states in very terse language,
the character of the Democratic tariff
bill: ''In the cost in money, the destruc-
ton of property, the ruin of trade, the
misery, the starvation of men accustomed
to work for the comforts of life, this
bill is twofold worse than four years
| of war"
In Lincoln's first speech on the tariff
he put mighty argument in a very
few lines: "When an American pays
twenty dollars for steel to an English
manufacturer, America has the steel and
England has the twenty dollars. But
| when he pays twenty dollars for steel
to an American manufacturer. America
has both the steel and the twenty dol
lars"
| The Inter Ocean: "It costs the Ameri-
can farmer from 10 to II cents per
pound to raise WOOL The Australian
cost is from 5 to cents per pound. SO
Democrats propose to raise their wool in
Australia. If wool growers had been as
smart as the sugar men. and organized
and bought into the administration in adj
vance, they today would not be making
mutton out of their focks.'
