THEIR EYES ARE on MIS-
SOURI,.

The recent elections in Missouri
show that state to be going strong
ly Republican. This is a fear
which we have apprehended for
some time and it will be hard
blow for Kansas and Nebraska.
Heretofore thousands and tens of
thousands of eastern immigrants
have crossed the rich fertile val
leys of Missouri, with her wonder
full resources, and have settled in
Kansas and Nebraska, all on ac-
count of the reputation Missouri
has borne for bourbon democracy.

With th 9s dread terror removed,
land win rapidly advance in value
and the bid state of Missouri will
rise as a mighty empire. All her
vacant lands will be occupied and
her valleys will blossom as the
rose. We congratulate Missouri
on her future prospects, but it
looks Il little the worse for North

"A little more than two years

the farmers think of having ten
per cent added to their real estate,
twenty per cent to their horses and
fifty per cent to their mules for the
purposes of taxation.
Mr.. Atkinson, in his article
in the May Forum. undertakes to
establish three very important
conclusions: first, that the statis-
tics of land-mortgages show pros
perity and not disaster; second,
that there is no tendency toward
the development of a landlord-and
tenant class in the United States:
but, on the contrary, that land
ownership tends strongly toward
small individual holders: and
third, that the farmers are coming
TO hold the political power in the
United States, and that there is no
need to fear the consequences, be-
cause of their conservative chrac-
ter and general prosperity.

The president and a majority in |
congress say the Wilson bill is |
democratic policy. Senator Hill |
and other leaders say it is not. |
The southern states say an in

The northern states say that it is
not. On one side is Hill, on the
other Cleveland. Which one are
the democrats throughout the

later on the skirts. Black stockings

Why He Is For Judge Noonan.


To the Daily LIGHT.
| heard Democrat assert the
other day that he could not under
stand the reason why a farmer or
stockman could be in favor Of pro-
lection. Now, l am a semi-farmer
and StOCkman and | will endeavOr
to explain my reason for being in
favor of high protective tariff. l
raise beeves, the average selling
price of which at three years old,
on San Antonio's market, is fifteen
dollars. Mr.. Stockraiser, from
across the Rio Grande, brings his
beeves to my market, San Antonio,
and receives the same price as | do,
less about two dollars duty, leav-
ing him thirteen dollars net, which,
on returning to his ranch in Mexi.
co Immediately becomes twenty
six dollars in Mexican money.
There is no one, think, who will
contend that a Mexican dollar will
not go as far towards raising beef
in Mexico as an United States dol
lar will in Texas. SO you see that
my Mexican competitor receives
twenty-six dollars for the same
beef that l receive fifteen dollars
for, whereas under high prOtec-
tive tariff he could not do so.
This is a stock raising district
which by all means ought to be
represented by man thoroughly
cOnversaut with the stock inter-
ests. In George H. Noonan we
have man not only in touch with
the stock interests, but at the
same time an able jurist, and
above all an honest man.
Money spent in foreign coun-
try is money lost. True the east is
so remote from Texas that at first
thought one might say that as far
as we in Texas are concerned, it
is the same to us IL tho money we
pay for our goods is spent in
Europe or the east. But Mr.. Edit
or, let the mills in the east be
