BEEVILLE, March 3, 1894.
To the San Antonio LIGHT.l
Beeville has not presented a
more lively appearance for many
day as on yesterday, when the
hosts were gathering. The different
orders Of Masons, Knights Of Hon.
or and Knights of Pythias, in full
uniform marching, the Yorktown
brass band playing an appropri-
ate march, and everybody on the
move preparing to go over on the
excursion to Goliad. The railroad
company had not anticipated so
large crowd Of passengers, hence
the difficulty in procuring
seats, many of the passengers
being compelled to ride in box
CTS on the top of the cars and on
the platforms and steps, every
avoilable lodging place was full. 1t
was indeed a merry crowd, and all
express themselves as we'll
pleased with the days program
and their treatment at the hands OF
Goliad's citizens. In the crowd
which went over from Beeville was
Land Commissioner McGoughey
and Hon. Jno. d. Mccall, of Austin
and Hon. l.. S. Lowban, Of Flores
vile.
During the day, yesterday and
last night, light showers fell
here which wet the ground about
! inch,with good prospect of more
today.
On Thursday night some Bee
vile amateurs playing in the roll
of ministries Gall youths) at
Refugio were trying to immitate
the "game of craps" originated by
the Georgia Minstrels, and during
the performance one of the boys
Arthur Potter, in firing off pistol
supposed to have been loaded with
blank cartridges, shot John Mer-
rift in the leg and Curran Archer
in the head the two latter were
also actors. The wounds while pain
fcl are not considered dangerous,
and the boys were all brought back
home yesterday.
Nathan Greedy, Esq, Of New

NEW YORK'S OPINION.
HER coNGRESSMEN REVIEW THE
"sPLENDlD NOTHING" TARIFF.

Payne, Ray and Sherman Score the DEM
ocratic LegislAtion-A Surplus Of Labor
Must Result In Lower wages-The Prices
of Farm Products Must Be Lower.
The advocates of the new tariff bill
have made two claims in its behalf.
They have asserted that it would great
ly facilitate importations, and that this
would result in reducing the cost Of
goods to the consumer. 1t does not re-
quire prophetic eye to discern that
their claims are the strongest indict-
ments that can be brought against the
splendid nothing" Here is the logic
in the case: The greater the importa-
ton, the less the demand for home prod
ucts. The less the demand for goods pro-
duced at home. the smaller the amount
manufactured The smaller the amount
manufactured, the fewer workingmen
required or the less the aggregate paid
by manufacturers
The more workingmen out of employ
ment the harder the times, and the
harder the times the less money is cir
culated. Therefore what will 1t profit
the man out Of work in this country II
England and France and Germany are
the more prosperous by reason Of In
creased expectations, even il as the re-
suit there is decrease in the cost Of
goods at home?

Labor Is Punished to Reward Importer
Who Psraded For Grover.
The burden of free trade IL already
upon us. How can we tighten It? The
rush of importers to secure their foreign
goods from the custom house at the low.
or rates of duty has told the story. Near.
ly $40, 900, 900 worth Of foreign goods
withdrawn for consumption in less than
o week means the sale of nearly $40.
900, 900 worth less of American goods
manufactured in American mills by
American wage earners. It means that
the distribution Of more than Is, 900, 900
In American wages has been checked
within five days.
II this curse continues, there can be
but ons result The foreigners arc de-
termined to have and to hold our mar
kets. Shall we surrender them? We do
not desire-no true American desires
that American wage earners should be
compelled to sell their labor in open
competition with the cheaper labor Of
other countries The workers in the cot
ton mills of New Bedford, in the fax
mills of New York, in the potteries Of
Trenton, in the glass factories Of the
west, have entered their protest against
q reduction Of wages that has been fore.
ed upon them by Democracy.
What can be done to tighten the bur.
den2 The manufacturers should not be
expected to pay higher wages than theii
foreign competitors and to sell their
goods at the same prices. It has been
the decree of Democracy that American
manufacturers and American wage earn
ers must be punished in order to re-
ward the New York city importers Of
foreign goods, who turned out with
such dignified grandeur In their parade
of 1892 to the honor and glory Of Gro
yer. II is the duty Of all true and pa-
triotic Americans to overthrow this for
eign domination. Check the sale OF
these foreign goods, check the stoppage
of our mills, check the oheapening OF
our labor by buying American goods

do SO. Let the psople ask only foi

1t is difficult to forecast the farreaoh.
ing effects of the new tariff law. II n
certainly to be hoped that some Of its
disastrous results have been discounted
in the past 18 months. Ever since Dem.
ocratio control of the senate AZ well as
of the house and the executive became
apparent the universal prosperity then
existing has given place to universal
disaster and distress such as no PEN pan
describe. This was largely due to the
threatened assault upon American In.
dustries. Now that we can see the ex-
tent Of those attacks under the new lew
we may at least hope that for the next
1S months distress and disaster will not
be 80 universal
Under the new law it is painfully
evident that wages in many branches Of
industry must be cut down from 10 to
30 per cent, while in other branches the
trainers Of the bill have blundered into
f~i- r-otactinn- That thia cutfin0 dnvfa
process will be attended with wide
spread strikes is a matter Of the most
serious apprehension. Strikes are disas-
trous though the striking workmen are
in the right They are doubly disastrous
when, as sometimes happens, the work
ingman is in the wrong. There is
abundant reason for the fear that Ire
strikes in the cotton and pottery ind U.s.
tries will be followed by still others
The mischief of the reduction IN a
few industries is that wages will 90
down in sympathy in other bra9ches of
labor -
For example, IL wages are higher in
one industry, those following less re-
munerative calling will offer their serv-
ices at lower rate, and 30 the rates
reach common level Under the census
of 1890 the total wage earnings Of our
people reach about $40, 600, 600, 900 q
year. An average reduction of 30 per
cent means loss of o., 900, ,000, 600 an.
nually.
Taking into account the reductions
made in the last 18 months and the fur
ther reductions manufacturers will be
compelled to make under the new bill,
30 per cent is low estimate Of the re-
duction of wage earnings sure to follow
Such reduction would take away one
fifth of the consuming power of our
people, would destroy one-fifth of our
own markets and one-fifteenth Of the
markets of the world. We cannot esti-
mate the loss Of our own markets under
this bill It has opened the door to for
eign importations. Foreign goods will
crowd out the American from our own
markets We cannot see the end, but OF
one thing we may rest assured-pros-
perity will return again only through
