clude that smuggling OF cattle and
merchandise is going on extensively
along the Rio Grande border for hun
dreds of miles, and that the present
force of customs guards is entirely in
adequate to cope with the situation.
By this practice of smuggling the law
abiding citizens of this unprotected
territory are severely l handicapped.
TIE merchants and cattle dealers must
at all times come into competition with
the smuggler, and prices are CORES
pondingly lowered. The question of
tariff or no tariff does not enter into
the matter at sll. The law is there
and in order not to work great injury
on those who observe it's provisions it
is very necessary that the law be
strictly enforced. The treasury de-
partment should by all means make
early provision for properly policing
the border and stopping this damaging
traffic.

caused much dissension already in the
ranks of that old and honored Or

more before it is settled. We cannot
see why the proposition should meet

tain the G. A. r. as an organization
composed exclusively of survivors of
the civil war, the war for the union.
