figures to show that tlae doctrine he asi

if the railroad property was taxed ae-
cording to the Democratic plan, it would
yield to the city instead Of the ST14.T9 re-

justice and fairness, and appeals as well
to the self-interest Of all the people.

right
Mr.. Blacks prediction that he will be
the next Governor of New Jersey, and
that when he becomes the Chief Exeeu-
tive he will stand for the people and the
peoples cause. was tumultuously cheeged
as he was when he concluded.
From Orange the candidate was hur-
ried to the Parker meeting at the Rose
vile Riding Academy. He arrived there
just at the close Of Mr.. Parker's speech
and was brought before the gaze Of the
great audience as the cheers for tht
Presidential candidate were dying away
Immediately the applause was resumed
It was not a long drawn-out cheer that
greeted Mr.. Black. but it was intense
and genuinely enthusiastic.
1t was besides a personal tribute, and
not reflection of the political ardor that
Mr.. Parker had left after him. His
speech received close attention and ht
was frequently applauded as he enunci
ated the equal taxation principle, and ap
piled it especially to Essex County ant
to- Newark.
After the meeting Mr.. Black went t.
the Continental Hotel and retired earl,
to bed.

of Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate

in the hall when he got there, all eager
to hear him discuss equal taxation. He
was introduced by DR.. james L Wright

utes to cheers and hand clapping. He
had to beg. at last to be permitted to
speak and even then it was some time
before the applause died away.
Mr.. Black resuned his campaigning

cases. This is an imposition on the tax
payers and on this account which annu-
ally amounts to $4,000 and is intended
for the payment of overcharges in taxes
and assessments and legitimate claims

Y exican Cusher.

News comes from Ebano, Ia maulipas. that the Mexican Pe- troleum Company struck at that place last Saturday, says the Chihuahua Enterrrise.
 The report says that the flow of oil when the we'll was shot was so strong that 1t greatly damaged the derr,ck.
 It is stated that the oil is now under control, as the company has a 100000 barrel tank. The strike was made at depth of 1.7OO feet.
 The oil is a thick, heavy vari- ety. and the flow and pressure are reconsidered remarkable. Four other wells are being sunk in the vicinity of the one just struck, and it isstdted these will be shot in a few days.
 If this report of the gusher is true it is the most important thing that has happened in Mex leo, as it gives encouragement as to the probable solution of the great fuel problem of the re- public.
 There is almost a prohibitive tariff on fuel oil, and if it can be discovered in Mexico in large quantities, this country will have d boom never seen before.
Holbrook argus., 1904-04-30

Germany adopted protective tariff in 1880; and there has been a rapid reduction in emigration since. Official figures show that the number of persons leaving Germany to settle in other coun- tries. principally the United Sta tes, has fell from 22O,9O2in 1881 to 22,O37 in 1901.

During the operation of the wilson-Gorman Tariff we sent out of the country SIP, 2,O0O,O ,OOO in gold in excess of that received. During the last nine months we have imported $56,0OO,OOO in excess of that exported. Pro- tection gives us a favorable bal ance of trade large enough to pay our immense foreign obliga- tions and a good balance be- sides. In short. everything is on the right side of the ledger
