THE FREE ZONE.
1t l. Regarded AZ q Terror of Local Mer-

1t l. Regarded AZ q Terror of Local Mer-
chants ON the American side
The Washington correspondent of n
Mckinley organ speaks of the free
zone in Mexico a 1.-The terror Of local
merchants on this side Of the border.
That j. to say. the terror of American
merchants in towns along the Rio
s;rande Why their terror Its easily
explained.
The free zone is strip twelve miles
wide on the Mexican side of the Rio
Grande. Into that strip goods may be
imported upon payment Of only one
tenth Of the full Mexican duties As "A
consequence Americans can cross the
river and buy goods which have paid
only light duties and thus save a good
deal of money if they can get home
with the goods without being stopped
by American custom house officers II
is because the temptation to buy goods
on the Mexican side and smuggle them
across is very strong that the free zone
is a terror tn American merchants
But why should there be any tempta-
ton at all to smuggle the goods The
great professors of protectionist poll
teal economy. including william Me-
Kinley and BENJAMIN Harrison. teach
that il is the foreigner who pays the
duty and not the American consumer.
Ii follows. Of course. that the American
consumer can gain nothing by passing
by the door of the American merchant
on the Rio t.rande and buying from
the Mexican Merchant in the free zone.
This must be 30 If the doctrine .of the
republican professors is true.
But as a matter Of fact Americans do
buy from Mexican merchants and take
the risk Of getting caught and punished
for smuggling. This is not a theory of
the college professors and closet stu
dents whom our eminently practical re-
publican brethren hold in contempt
II is "A hard fact-the very sort Of
thing to which the protection econ
omist is forever appealing. And this
fact proves conclu>ivelv that the re-
publican doctrine mot theory. of
course for Your republican despise-
theory that the foreigner pays the tax
j. utterly false Ii proves conclusively
that the American consumer pays the
American tariff tax. lie would not
take the trouble and run the risk Of
smuggling were il otherwise.
This standing demonstration that
their tariff doctrine is false and that
the enormous Mckinley taxes are piled
on To the prices of domestic a well a.
foreign goods is extremely offensive to-
the republican brethren. Therefore
they have been untiring in their eff
forts to induce Mexico 10 abolish the
free zone Thus far the Mexican gov
eminent has not shown itself disposed

IL was just the day for q grand hunt.
and bud and Coon determined to make
the most OF it. Long before the sun

narrow passage leading into q deep

What do our farmers who voted fol
Cleveland think of these good Demo
cratic times, when wheat is selling at AZ
cents bushel. Argus.
Why, they realize that Repub-
lican tariff on wheat has not helped
them any, and that few traitors,
who got office by calling themselves
Democrats, have SO far prevented
any change in it, and that the Re-
publican policy as to the demoneti-
cation Of silver has not been changed.
We suppose, too, they think that
under democratic times" they
have been able to get as much
money per acre for their wheat as
they did under Harrison. Demo
cratic sunshine and rain, falling on
the good and evil alike, has given
many Of them % bushels per acre
