BUTTEHWORTH 8 SPEECH
The monotonous flow of tariff talks in
congress was broken the other day by
Ben Butterworth of Ohio who rose up
among bis Republican brethren and
amid applause from tbo Demqartjo
the astonishment and consternation
of Reed and his caucus bound
cohorts to show what a miserable
thing of shreds and patches Mr Mo
Klnley is endeavoring to palm off on the
country as a tariff revision and a tariff
reduction measure
His speeob forceful in its logio and
pltifess in its dissection of the McKinley
fraud fell like a lightning bolt from a
clear sky The discomgture of the Re-
publicans and the wrath of Reed can
better be lmaglnnd than described as
they listened to Butterworth s bold utter-
ances Interrupted ever nnd anon by the
cheers of delighted Democrats
But Butterwortha efforts will avail
nothing against the determination of
Reed and his cohorts to force the Mo
Kmloy measure through tbo bouse The
edict has gone forth that it must become
a law and a law It will bocome unless
enough righteous legislators besides Mc-
Kinley can be found in the Republican
Sodom to prevent the iniquity of Its en-
actment
Without intending It Mr Butterworth
has done the cause of tariff reform and
the Democratlo party a great service
His Republican colleagues rooognlzing
this fact havo already begun to charge
him with making the speech to get even
with McKinley of whoso increasing
strength with his party he is envious
Bs this as it may Democrats will not
fail to make good use of Mr Butter
worths speech It will be added to the
Democratlo cimpalgn literature and
scattored broadcast over the country
The people will read it and it will be
fruitful of great and lasting resorts- for
tariff reform and will be used with tell-
ing effect in the campaign of 1892

CLAItKB COMMENTARIES ON HOGG
G-D-News Editorial April 23
When Satan as described by John Mil-
ton sat on bis lofty perch in Eden de-
vising the conquest of tho new world and
tho ruin ot man he pleaded publio
reason just honor nnd empire with re-
venge enlarged as considerations com-
pelling him to do what eUe though
damned he would abhor So spake
the fiend adds the poot with pregnant
commentary and with necessity the
tyrants plea excused his devilish
deeds Ex Attorney General Clark
submits a highly interesting series of
commentaries on a recent tremendous
deliverance of Attorney General Hogg
and the sum of these comrrcntaries is ac-
centuated with the pregnant criticism
that the gist of Mr Hoggs argument
and eloquence as foremost advo-
cate and great captain in the
plenary commission enterprise resolves
Itself into tho proverbial and historio
plea of tyrants necessity With this
view of what Mr Hogg and his fellow
commlsslonists are thinking meditating
and driving at Judge Clark is naturally
distrustful of the genulness of their De-
mocracy Ho is satisfied indeed that no
Democrat true to traditional articles of
Democratlo faith could advocate a
measure that would merge lawmaker
judge and executioner In one monster of
arbitrary and uncertain discretion
Judge Clark can conceive how a Repub-
lican bred In the school of centraliza-
tion and paternalism might plausibly
defend his position as an advocate of
such a measure on party grounds He
can conceive why the leading spirits in
orders and leagues agitating for gigantio
strides in a national policy ot paternalism
and socialism should favor as they do
favor suoh a commission as Mr Hogg
proposes But ho cannot conceive how a
Democrat bred in the faith that distri-
bution of power Into distinct departments
ot government is indispensible to free in
stitjitions and that the besttgovernment
is tljfr ono that interferes legist with the
priyutufnterestsV private pursuits and
noerues otcuizens
defense for it in tho generally recognized
tenets of his party It is very obvious
however in these days of cbaotio tumult
of ideas ana tendencies in politics
that there are Democrats and Democrats
Mr Hogg represents an element of
the party infected with a spirit of
reaotiori against conditions and guaran-
tees of Individual liberty and towards
absolutism of power in a discretionary
magistracy claiming to not for a like ab-
solutism in a voting majotIty Judge
Clark represents the school of Democ-
racy which holds that the fundamental
object of a constitution is to limit alike
the power of magistracies and of majori-
ties and that to sweep away such limita-
tions Is to sweep away the foundations of
a government of law and liberty Dem-
ocrats of this school while they believe
in reform boljeve that the true way of
reform is not to multiply new laws but
to repeal a mass of old ones not to
clothe government with new powers and
new missions but to divest it
of some funotions thas have already
been unwisely conferred or unwar-
rantably arrogated Democrats of Mr
Hoggs persuasion on the other hand
believe or proppse to the contrary of all
these tenets and contentions Nowa
and bis colleagues it may be In order to
inquire how Judge Clark ana his ecu
loagues expect to maintain their standard
ot Democratlo faith in the praottcal bus-
iness of holding primary meetings elect-
ing delegatesto a Democratlo state con-
vention and organizing that body and
conducting its work Are they ready to
recognize as competent voters in the pri-
maries persons notoriously allied with
enemies to the Demooratlo party at
large Are they ready to affiliate In tho
primaries or In the convention with per-
sons who notoriously hold in contempt or
in abhorrence pnnoiplos whloh men of
Judge Clarks sohool hold to be the es
sonco of true Democratlo faith and the
only security of free government If
tbey are ready for all this then It is not
seen where or how they are to mako a
successful stnud for their cause inside of
the mechanical organization of the party
with its lines extending around a vast
medley of incongruous elements If
tbey are not ready for all this then what

GOVERNMENT AS A BUSINESS MANAOER
G D News Editorial May 16
The formation of business clubs in
Texas after the example of the one that
took the initiative at Waco some days
ago is a movement that has not com-
menced too soon Under thd circum
stances It is as natural as It seems oppor-
tune The more speciflo object of theso
clubs is to oppose the commission amend-
ment ns a measure designed to Invest the
control of railroad property in nn arbi-
trary agenoy hostile to the interests of its
owners and as consequently calcu-
lated to retard the development of the
state by exciting alarm for the security
of Investments In the broadest and
clearest business view however the
platform of these clubs most commends
Itself to consideration in this brief utter
ance We believe that every man has
the right to manage his own property in
his own way subjeot to tbo general law
of the land Her we have a briefly
worded tenet in which may be condensed
the whole philosophy ot business in its
proper relations to government and
as to its proper uses for gov-
ernment The nverago man of bus-
iness after invoking it may be
all tho special providences of legis-
lative quackery and trying the charms of
every fetish of government paternalism
must come back at last to the homely
common sense of the old French mer-
chant who was asked by the minister of
finance what be thought tho government
could and should do in the interest ot
commerce Let us alono leave us to
manage our own affairs was all bis
answer But there is a spirit abroad
uffectlng more or lets men ot all parties
and all classes which abhors the idea of
agovernment comprehensive and strong
only for the protection of citizens in their
rights of property of person and of
Industrial pursuit It is a spirit
that craves with a constantly sharpening
appetite for more nnd more government
interference with the business interests
and aomestio affairs or the people For
those who arc given up to the incitements
and fasoinations ot this spirit such a
measure as the transfer of the control
and management ot railroad investments
from private owners to a plenary com-

mission or such n meosuro as tbo pro-
posed conversion ot the national govern-
ment inio a universal bank of issue and
discount upon -produce deposits is
but the thin clge of en entering wedge
as wido n the continent nnd limit-
less In reaoh Representative nower
rightly construed the logical trend of
suoh measure when he suggested that
under the development of the policy
which they involved the government
would finally have Hs bands in every
business and have everybodys substance
in hook So it would hardly be ex-
travagant to suppose that ten years of
suoh progress would see the children
generally in government nursorics and
the mothers generally working In
tbo field or shop Tho advlco of Mr
Flower that the farmer would do well to
manage his domestlo affairs without
government interference is equally
applicable to merchants and man-
ufacturers who fancy that they can bo
blessed with a special providence in the
shape of a plenary commission to regu-
late carrying charges exactly to suit the
Interests of each Tho advice is also
equally applicable to workiugmen ot tho
Powderly school who want the govern-
ment to regulate with paternal authority
hours ana conditions of labor in a man-
ner to suppress all freedom of contraot
nnd to leave no Individual option of serv-
ice Perhaps the most unhappy aspect
of all the sohemes and dreams of pater-
nalism in relation to any business or any
interest is that the hopes which
they hold out can bring only grief
and disappointment in the day of their
promised fruition Representative
Flower in discussing tho sub treasury
bill with Mr Maouno pertinently ob-
served
The currency system of tho present
was wrong The government had not
managed it properly and could not do
so It bad taken from the state the
right to issue currency as though it was
the judge of the needs of the people
The states and their people were the best
judges But it is to be remembered
and the memory is full of sod suggestion
that the currency system of the pres
ent like tho tariff system of the present
was instituted with assurances at tho
tlmo generally accepted of results that
would answer every monetary need of
the people and provo the wisdom and
bonnficenco of the paternal govern-
ment Ihe ceaseless fretting among
manufacturers consumers and taxpay-
ers and the seething agitations over
the silver question the flat money ques-
tion and the government sub treasury
warehouse and banking question show
that both of the measures havo signally
boiled the promises and hopes which at-
tended their adoption Still the delusion
that a paternal government can manage
the peoples business affairs better than
they can manage them is not exploded
and perhaps will not be exploded untiy
tne cnapter or practical instruction in
that direction has its last line written in
a elimnv of sorrow and disaster No
revolution in social order Professor
Sumner has observed has ever been
brought about by tho oppression or
folly or wickedness of tbo rulers If such
things as that could cause revolutions
there would be but little else but revolu-
tions in history Revolutions have been
caused by holding out hopes of bliss
which the rullug powers were not able to
bring to pass And hero doubtless
lurks the supreme and final peril of tho
tumultuous eagerness of so many people
of all olasses and pursuits to surrender
manhood of intellect and individual free
agency to a blind faith in the guardian-
and providential management of a
thip government Such intellectual
beggary is as fearful as It is pitiful and
may well have suggested the remark of a
contemporary writer that the senti-
mentalists of our day bestow a huge
amount of sympathy upon the victims of
poor wages but they do not grieve as
they might over tho viotims of poor
thoughts and disordered imaginations
JuiIitq Clark has nmnounded a A NON OiKTISAN MOVEMENT
aWQstringof interrogatories to MrHogg WACOrrEX JHay 13 A movemorlt
of much Importanoe has its incepttonin
this city nnd itspurpises are olearly vset
forth In tho following -
We the undersigned hereby agree to
form a campaign dub to be known as
tho business club of Wacot The
object of said organization shall be to
cultivate moro lntlmafrelations between
the business and all other Classes to dis-
cuss proposed measures ofgoyernment
as neighbors and friends and not
as partisans to advance the cause
ot good government and the pros-
perity and security of eyery cifi
zen by advocating suoh measures as will
tend to promote the advancement of our
state and to oppose wlth firmness all
measures that will Tejtard its develop-
ment or threaten the stability of invest-
ments and especially to oppose the
adoption of the proposed amendment to
the constitution authorizing a railroad
commission believing that such measure
is unwise unnecessary amlnn Anftirican
We believe that every man has a fight to
manage his own property in his own
way subject to the general law of the
land and that an attempt to take from
tho owners of railroad property this right
and to invest the control of their prop-
erty In strangers to be selected on ac-
count of their hostility to railroads will
stop tbo wheels of progress in our state
arrest development unsettle business
destroy values and tend to bring ruin
upon our people
We pledge ourselves each to the other
to work for tho defeat ot said amend-
ment and call upon the business men ot
tho state to orcanlze and unite with us in
accomplishing this object

FLOYD FLOURISHING
The Villajre and Conn try Eurronndine Popu-
lated by aa Enterprising People A Death
Correspondence ot the Gazette
Floyd Tex May 17 Floyd is a nico llttla
village in tho western edge of Hunt county oa
the railroad running from Jefferson to McKin-
ney and is in the center of one of the finest sec
tions ot black lands there is in the state and
the entire country for miles in every direction is
a solid farm and a more thrifty self reliant set
of farmers cannot be found in Txas or any
other country We are having flno weather now
and the farmers are surely making ubo of it All
crc through planting cotton and about all tho
corn has been worked over since the rain and a
nice shower in a few daya would bo a benefit
The small grain crop is short But very little
wheat was planted and the oats crop being
killed there was not more than a half crop of it
planted over but it now looks well and bids fair
for a fine yield Tho fruit orop was thought to
be killed but it is now thought that about naif a
crop still remains on the trees The city Is still
improving despite tho last two crop years The
citizens of Floyd and community are making
active preparations for the erection of a JliW
school building and tho Masonic fratornity are
uniting with them and will use the
upper story of the building for hall purposes
And our farmers are not the kind that sit around
and complain of tho hard times and too much
rain etc butwoik with a vim in their fields
when they can work and when its too wet for
them to workthere tbey come with their teams
and scrapers and assist In grading up the
streets building sidewalks etc and fix so
their children can get to school arid their wives
to church and we are also plowing up the
church and school yards and setting it in Ber-
muda grass and instead of vacant lots school
grounds etc remaining burr patches as they
liavo been they will soon be coated over with
the beautiful green grass which not only adds
much to tho appearance of the place but lifts
ns from the sticky mud and givas us a chance to
get around comfortably without dragging
around in the slusn And Instead of the chil-
dren having to stay in doors at recess and play-
time they can get out on the grass and take
their exercises without having their feet loaded
down with mud
The metsenger of death vbilot our commu-
nity last Sunday the 10th Instant and took
from us Mrs Lee Little consort ot onr towns-
man Rev N C Little and daughter ot our
castor in charge Bev E B Thompson The
