THE STATESMAN INVITED ARGU'

The Statesman will make no attempt to
answer Mr.. Wcbbs letter of this morn
ing-it requires no answer. Outside of
abuse of The Statesman. that is as false
as uncallcd for, the argumentatiye part
of it is built up on mere assertions by
Mr.. Webb. which he brazenly puts
against printed records of fourteen years
ago, and figures furnished by the best
known business house in Austin. 1t can
hardly be imagined that any one on this
faulty earth of ours is rs honest, as
truthful, as sentlemanly and as utterly
crrorltSS as Mr.. Webb. Yet as superbly
endowed rs he is with all these virtues,
it has not been recorded that all the
world has yet bowed down TO worship
his immaculatenoSS. Until such time
We must be pardoned if we insist that
even his diSpleasure weighs as for tritle
with us. and for doubling that his judg-
ment is yet infallible.

forgotten that courtesy which should ex-
list between gentlemen in argument that

cheerfulness, de

Yesterday Messrs. j. C.. Hunt and c.
B. Caffey of Bastrop came into the city
and told the police of the finding of the
body of a strange man floating in the
river about ten miles above Bastrop,
about one mile below Colorado Chapel.
The gentlemen were seen by a States
man reporter, to whom they stated that
the body was found last Saturday float
ing in the river Mr.. Hunt observed it
first, and calling some assistance, fished
it out, and later it was buried in the
graveyard near the chapel where it was
found. The gentlemen interested did
not know the name of deceased nor was
there anything on the body to identify it.
They have Il suspicion, however, that it
is the body of Bill Dodson, who is well
known in this city, having followed the
Avocation of Il fisherman up the river here
for Il number of years. The identity is
only suspicion, however, and it may turn
out to be Bill, though he has not been
seen by his friends for nearly week
past. and some fear that it might be him.
Mr.. Caffey gave a description of the
dead man. which goes to prove him a
man of between 10 and 40 years of age.
He was about ) feet inches high and
had sandy hair and mustache streaked
with gray. There was about three days
growth of beard on his face at the time
of his death. He looked TO be a man
who would weigh about no pounds. He
had on black vest dark colored jeans
pants and lace boX-toed shoes, No. ..
There was nothing in any of his pockets
To identify him. There was 4 small key
in one pocket that another fisherman den-
titled rs belonging to DOdson. but in this
he may he mistaken. The gentlemen in
question also reported that Just prior
to finding the body they also discovered
floating down the river the body of
horse, and saddle was floating in the
immediate vicinity of the horse. These
may have some connection with the dead
man, and they may not McSsrS. Hunt
and Caffey came to town yesterday to
see if they could ascertain the identity
of the deceased. They saw several gen
tlemen in the city who were in the habit
of seeing DodSon when he was in Austin.
and from them it was learned that he had
not been seen for several days. The
butcher where Dodson was in the habit
of going regularly for his meat. says that
he has not seen him for several days,
and some of Dodson friends in the city

inferior metal will drive out the superior!
Does he want this country to use silver
alone, so that line of brokers shall be
built up between this country and Eng
land who will extract their cent per cent
on the exchange of metals? Does the farm
or want any more middle men to cut down
his profits? If he does, let him vote for
Bryan and he will have exchange middle
men galore.
These people-Bryan, Altgeld and Till
man-are now pretending to make war
upon gold syndicates, combines and
trusts They are making war against
capital. for if there is a change to silver
do not the farmers know that the gold
syndicates would soon form themselves
into silver syndicates, which, by the way,
exist now!
They are making war upon all men
who have property. pretending to except
the farmers to get their votes, and if they
are successful they will keep up the fight
against property, and secure i'll power
they will make the fight against land
monopoly, which is their ultimate object.
If the farmers of this country know their
own interests they will give these fel-
lows a wide berth and vote strictly for
sound money and the maintenance of the
nations honor.

THE NEXT BATTLE CRY WILL BE
LAND MONOPOLY.

Bryan. Altgeld and Tillman are the
self-constituted champions of the farmers
of this country. Did it never occur to
the farmers that these men belong TO the
same class of would-be reformers who
have been for years making war upon the
English farmers. For these men TO oh
tain place and power it is necessary for
them to placate the farmers of the coun-
try by pretended championship of that
class. How long after these men get into
power. if they do succeed in decciving the
farmers and working classes of the coun-
try and get into power. before they will
turn upon what they will term your land
monopoly? We believe that every farmer
that takes these men TO his breast will
be warming into life the serpcntS that
will eventually sting them TO death. Now
they are pretending to make war upon
capital. How long after they get into
power would it be before they would turn
their guns on land monopoly? That is
the ultimate objective point of all such
socialistic reformerS, and they are purSu-
to their last battle cry of the wickedneSs
of any man owning land that God gave
to all men, and that the government ought
to own it. especially if they get to be the
government.
The farmers of this country are in Il
better condition than any other class of
men. They are less in debt with more
ability to pay any Indebtedness they may
owe than any other class of people. They
have their homes and their land and they
are always sure of making n living off
their land and being protected from the
eXactionS of the landlords in their homes
The farmers of this country ought TO
be the most conservative men in it, for
they are more interested in preventing
any kind of change that might sweep
them from the quiet enjoyment OF their
homes and certain independence
Do not the farmers recognize that prices
make very little difference while values
are adjusted to about the same all the
time? The product of the farmer is not
confined to n home market. He must
deal in foreign markets, or rather the
prices he receives for his products are
settled in foreign markets according to
the foreign demand for his products. He
of all men is interested in having the
same money as the country with which
he most largely deals, and that is Eng
land. Does he want a silver monometall-
ism, for every sensible man knows the

After pcrfccting organization by elect
ing II. Il. Hancock chairman and j. W:

order. j. w. Larremore placed the name

hearing ON a late subject matter, our
readers are simply referred to our tables
and editorials of yesterday as our answer.
We do not care, nor is 1t IN any WI!
necessary to pursue such an absolutely
collateral issue to any further length.
Mr., Webb, in casting about for some
thing to hang point on for his side,
caught upon Il farmers casual comment
We humored him and pointed out the
ridiculous position he had taken. lie
then sought seriously TO put us in po-
stion absolutely at variance with what
we have been admitting for months. He
now. through scurrility and brazen state
ments, desires to flood the public with
matter wholly immaterial, which if 1t
proves anything would prove that prices
have gone down, something that no sound
money man denies, and hence the fact
can not be tortured into a pretext for ar
gumcnt. We have given our facts and
they can not be refuted.
Mr.. Wcbb's graceless fling at Mr.. Tips
was utterly gratuitous and of course will
be ignored by that gentleman. And so
far rs The Statesman is concerned, we
have yet to know that we must get
badge of gentilty from Mr.. Webb, hence
his fling is too utterly contemplate for
notice.
We were warned when this controver-
sy opened by personal friends of Mr..
Webb that he was incapable of argu-
ment or continuous logical discussion
of any subject and that just as soon as
we cornered him that he would get mad
and resort to abuse. We must tell him
lust here that we have admitted the last
abuse of us or personality into The
Statesman If he desires to continue
the discussion upon such courteous lines
of argument as are used between honor
able gentlemen, we will welcome his COM
muncations, publish and answer them to
the best of our ability in the same way;
but the public cares nothing for our
opinion of Mr. Webb nor his of The
Statesman. If the silver question is to
be argued, all well and good; but we
must draw the line at billingsgatc.
