Texas and the Tariff.

Congressman Savers of Texas. Il life
long Democrat who has always supported
the low tariff doctrines and measures of
his party. evidently recognizes the grow
ing protective sentiment among Demo-
Gratis. and especially its rapid growth in
the South. In Il recent statement an
nouncing his candidacy for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor of Texas
published in the Dallas News of Nov. q.
he said:
II am earnestly of the opinion that the
people should countenance and support
any reasonable and proper policy that
would tend to secure the construction
and operation of all kinds of industrial!
and manufacturing establishments with
in the state. Present conditions imperd-
lively demand it.
IN the other Southern states notably
in Tennessee. Georgia, North Carolina
and South Carolina. very many manufac-
turing enterprises have been successfully
inaugurated and profitably conducted
converting the raw material into the fin
ished product and furnishing remunera-
tive employment to labor in many forms.
The policy of our people. it occurs to me-
should be to export the manufactured ar
ticle rather than the raw material. Such
a policy would open up and multiply the
opportunities for our own citizens to find
profitable employment, and would OBJ
viate the necessity of annually paying
many millions of dollars to other COM
mUnities for what we must have
However large the aggregate of our
productions in point of quantity our peo-
pie can not and will not be prosperous if
labor can not find constant and remuner-
ative employment and if the money re-
allied from the sale of such productions
is altogether expended in purchasing
from other communities such articles of
wear and use as might be profitably man.
ufactured within our own borders. In
Georgia there were in 1880 employed in
the manufacturing establishments 2iS75
persons. In 1890 the number had in,
creased to $500.
in 1880 to over $1,000, 900 in 1890 and the
value of the product was increased from
$50. 900. 900 to over SOS. 900 900. And notwith-
standing the severe and continued finan-
cial depression since then, an increase in
the number of establishments. in the
wage account, and in the value of prod
ucts has steadily gone on. In South
Carolina during the last six months the
number of spindles has increased from
3OO.O 600 to 100000. while many mills of the
East have been compelled to shut down
on account of the depression in such
products. In North Carolina there are 206
cotton mills. operating 10l6.2i7 spindleS.
"a, 62l looms, and l4lO knitting machines
They employ about 10000 hands. and con-
sumo practically the entire cotton crop
of that state.
Il have gathered these facts from Off
cial sources borrowing the language
used. When it is recalled that these
states were the battle-ground between the
contending forces in the late war. and
that they emerged from that great con-
flict in an exhausted and desoiated con-
dition, their progress has been indeed

An Old Desk Filled With Wealth.

Many a tale has centered about a
missing will. or other valuable docu-
ment, that had become mislaid and
was. brought to light just in time to
foil the villain and ensure the doing of
Justice to ali parties concerned. How
ever much of truth may have been at
the bottom of these stories that so
captivated the fancy certainly none of
them have been based son foundation
more improbable in seeming than was
an incident which occurred the other
day in Washington.
Some months ago a shortage was dis
covered in the accounts of Mr.. Spofford.
the librarian to Congress-. This short
age amounted to about $4,000. Wher
Mr.. Spofford heard of he said what
ever the shortage might be he would
make it good. He did so from. his private
property and no one at all conversant
with the facts for a moment suspected
that Mr.. Spofford was other than a
man Of the strictest integrity. That
view. in fact.was accepted by the coun-
try since which time public comment
on the incident ceased.
When a short time ago the work OF
moving the books from the old to the
new quarters was under way some one
cleared out the old desk which Mi.
Spofford had used In the drawers OF

than in money matters.

man of business, and that what with
the copyrights and like matters good
deal of business management had de-
volved upon him, it is not so surprls
ing that the results are what they are
now seen to be. Presumably Mr. Spot
ford had entirely forgotten the exist
ence Of those valuables and yet his
memory respecting books and authors
is so retentive as to be nothing short

wonderful Texas is greatly superior Ia
any of the states named in extent OF
area. in fertility of soil. in variety of re-
sources. and in situation. yet she lags be-
hind them all in manufacturing pur-
suits. In the matter of wooden mills
Georgia has five, Kentucky eighteen.
North Carolina thirteen. Tennessee TWEEN
ty-five, and Virginia twenty-four yet
Texas. with largely more sheep than all
combined, has only one.
THE hides, horns. and hoofs of all cat
tie slaughtered in our state as we'll as
our cotton. wool timber. iron. clay. and
other natural products should be convert
ed into articles of manufacture by our
own people and within our own borders
thereby enhancing the value of the raw
material and creating a large and con-
slant demand for the produce of field and
garden. i can not think that there is any
country where the conditions for success
full manufacturing enterprises are so in
viting, and where they would be as profit
able and beneficial to all classes of So
ciety as in Texas. When We consider the
present cost of sending the raw material
to other states and countries for CONVEX
sion into the finished product and of re-
turning that product to ourselves for
consumption. the drain upon our re-
sources is frightful to contemplated
say nothing of the loss to the state IN
the endowment of its own citizens IN
manufacturing pursuits and TO the farm
er in the price of his farm and garden
products"

All Facts % Not Always Appear on The
Surface.

All facts do not always appear on the
surface of things. This seems to be
applicable to some of the estimates
under consideration by Congress at the
present time. That of PENSIONS, Mr..
Dingley pointed out, would not show
because it provided for more money be-
ing paid out in given time that more
money was to be expended for pension
purposes. There may be more due in
the way of pensions a certain year than
the department finds time or means
for paying out within the specified
limit of time. That would not mean,
however, that the government had
saved anything thereby.
Mr.. Dingley in the same speech al
luded to the estimate Of a deficit of
$21,647. 1886 for the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1899. How many reading that
would call to mind if they ever had in
mind the fact that the law compels the
secretary of war to put into his esti-
mates those made by subordinates Of
that department., whatever he may
think Of merits. In this way the esti-
mate for river and harbor improve
ments alone amounted to more than
100000. This with the estimates for
other pubic works made very pretty
sum OF about $4,000, 900. Mr.. Dingley
referred to this and to the fact that
no one at all acquainted with the con-
ditions supposed any such amount
would be expended for those purposes.
Indeed 1t is doubtful II much more
than third of the amount estimated
is expended for river and harbor i'm
provements. Mr. Dingley said he was
not violating confidence when he stated
that the secretary of the treasury and
the President both expected the re-
ceipts next year to exceed the ex-
penditures.

Doctors could donothing for me, and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
I will tell you about it:
had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, I flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
fow must be stopped If possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it. I
said would try it, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. l still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.--MRs. b. A. LOMBARD,

An Enseiiye Appeal.

Representative Linney of North
Carolina. 1t appears. made on Friday
one of the most effective appeals (sn
far as the galleries were concerned) for
the abolition, the demolition Of civil
service reform that have been or are
likely to be made in the national
House. q
He held up as an example for the
national government, the Republican
administration. to follow the policy Of
Tammany Hall in New York.
He attributed Tammany's success to
it's allegiance to the spoils system.
This honor among thieves seems to
have appealed very forcibly to his i'm
agination, to have fired his patriotism,
SO it is not surprising he should have
thought to inspire the nation to follow
in the footsteps of the most corrupt
political organization, an organization
that has no more love for party in the
broad sense than it has for country or
honor, in a limited sense, that ever ex-
listed in this land.
We trust the opponents of civil SER
vice reform will flock under that ban
ner emblazoned with the Tammany
tiger. Let them fiaunt it before the
eyes of the world. Possibly by the
time they are through with the crusade
they will discover, which they appear
not yet to have done, that not all nor
the greater part of the voting popula-
ton of this country, nor the part which
controls it's political destinies, are made
up of such as the Tammany element in
New York city. To the credit of New
York it must be said this element is in
the minority, but it's danger consists
in it's solidarity. it's inability to care
for anything except share of the
plumber, the blackmail of the saloons
and the bawdy houses. By all means
inscribe the banner of anti-civil service
reform with that winning motto
adopted by Tammany, ITO hell with
