mony.
“Court—“ You two rise upon your
hind legs here before me and grab
| your right chip-hooks together.
“Baldy” Sours was that your name
before' you came to this state? If so
do you wish lawfully to marry that
dimple daisy there?”
Groom—“ You bet!”
Court—“ Daisy are you strong
minded enough to cotton on to
“Baldy.” here all your life and stick
; to him tighter than Jim Kidd can
j straddle a broncho?”
Bride—“ Yes’r.
Court—“C’rect. Now “Baldy”
slip that Mexican ring on Daisy’s left
long finger. That’s all right now
‘cordin' to the dignity of my office
and the laws of these here states I j
do pronounce you man and wife. Go ;
and trot in double harness and don’t j
either of you kick out of the traces or I
get hankering after outsiders. Five |
dollars please:—thanks. Now Daisy i
waltz up here and lick me right |
square under the nose; that’s one of ।
the perquisites of my office. That’s)
good. Now Baldy she’s good to look
at and you’d better gun up the first
good lookin’ fellow you catch foolin’
'round your ranch. What? Oh yes
I don’t mind if I do this talking is
mighty dry work. The court ad-
journed.”

MAVERICK RIFLES.
The Non-Commissioned Officers
are Duly Elected.
There was a special meeting of the
Maverick Rifles last night to consider
how the money collected for the com-
pany should 'be expended. It was
unanimously decided to expend part
of the funds in the purchase of a sim-
ple cap and blouse guns and accoutre-
ments and to leave a balance of $l6O
in the treasury as a nucleus of a
fund which they hope to raise in the
course of a year to properly uniform
the company.
The following non-commissioned of-
ficers were then elected:
Third Sergeant —D. Talcott.
Fourth Sergeant —John Dillon.
Fifth Sergeant—Frank Newton.
First Corporal—Chas. E. Wynne.
Second Corporal—Bryan King.
Third Corporal—Will Bradley.
Fourth Corporal—Chas. Norton.
The officers contradict the rumor
that there is any dissatisfaction in
the company. While they admit that
two members were suspended for in-
subordination those members have
since apologized and been re-instated
and all are working harmoniously.

DEMOCRACY AND FREE TRADE.
For the Light:
It is a notorious fact that Blaine was
defeated in New York in lbB4 only by
the pitiful majority of 1004 votes and
that these votes were cast by republi-
j cans who pretended to believe that
Blaine had been guilty of political
I corruption. Cleveland has not in-
j creased in strength in New York since
! 1884; on the contrary his antagonism
)to pensioning Union soldiers has
) aroused the indignation of those who
I fought to sustain the Union. In 1884
I Mr. Conkling and ids friends refused
j to support Blaine.
Now the republicans in New York
j are heartily united on Harrison and
l Morton. Every faction is enlisted un-
i der the banner of Harrison and Mor-
ton and is confident of success. No
republican is skulking in his tent. I
do not regard the mugwumps as re-
publicans but as quassi democrats.
Harrison and Morton have to over-
come only a majority of 1004 inorder
to carry the state of New York and
that will be an easy task with all the
republican factions working heartily
together.
The Mills tariff bill and Cleveland’s
last annual message were declared by
the St. Louis national democratic con-
vention to be the correct and authori-
tative exposition of the tariff plank of
1884 which was so purposely ambigu-
ous and studiously unmeaning that
it might be construed to favor protec-
tion or free trade to suit the pre-
conceived views of protectionists and
free traders from their several stand-
points. This game of thimble rig and
sleight of hand succeeded in 1884.
In Cleveland's lengthy letter of ac-
ceptance in 1884 lie made no allusion
directly or indirectly to the tariff
but dodged that issue. The tariff
clause in the Chicago platform of 1884
was purposely double-dealing decep-
tive and perfidious Henry Waterson
himself admits it was a straddling of
the question in short it was a wilful
fraud and studied deception menda-
ciously resorted to in order to catch
the votes of protectionists. The tar-
iff question for the above reason was
not really an issue in 1884. But Cleve-
land’s message ami the Mills bill
plucked off the mask from the democ-
racy and committed to tree trade.
The legitimate and inevitable se-
quence of Cleveland’s message and
the Mills’ bill is free trade. Both are
pronounced in their hostility to pro-
tection. The Mills bill is the enter-
ing wedge the initial step to free
trade and will be followed up by fur-
ther reduction of duties. The people
can no longer doubt the attitude of the
democracy upon the subjectof protect-
ing American manufacturers and as
the majority of the people are opposed
to free trade thousands of men who
voted for Cleveland in 1884 will now
vote against him. This change of
sentiment will give Indiana. New
York New’ Jersey ami Connecticut to
Harrison and Morton and ensure their
election. It will also give them
West Virginia and Virginia and
render Tennessee doubtful. The
loss of the Mugwumps will be
repaired an hundred fold by the votes
of protection democrats for Harrison.
The New York Sun admitted last
January that the passage of the Mills
bill would inevitably lose New York
to the democrats. The bill would be
a law now’ but for the republican
senate a fact not at all calculated to
reassure protection democrats who
are engaged in some branch of manu-
facture or in handling American
goods and on that account bound to
resent and oppose legislation likely to
subject them to heavy pecuniary
losses.
The compulsory closing up of mills
and factories would deprive thousands
of working people of employment and
reduce them to the humiliating con-
dition of paupers. Working men
foresee that such will be the result of
a tariff approximating free trade and
they will wisely protect themselves
from such a calamity by voting
against Cleveland. What will it
profit poor men to have cheap goods
w hen this very cheapening of goods
deprives them of employment and the
means of earning money with which
to purchase even meat and bread?
Provisions and goods may be plenti-
ful and cheap but of what benefit is
that circumstance to men without
work and consequently without
money? Poor men and women must
have work in order that they may
possess money and protection by
fostering manufactories gives them
this needful work. Free trade
lays an embargo on industrial pursuits
by rendering them unremunerative.
Capital will abandon a losing busi-
ness. Laboring men would “kill the
goose that lays the golden egg” that
furnishes them with labor by helping
Cleveland to paralyze and strike down
American industries. They will
scarcely destroy their own supply of
bread and meat.
But the purblind free trader insists
that American manufacturers can
compete with goods made by Euro-
pean pauper labor and that none of
them would curtail their operations
or retire from business in consequence
of the passage of Mills bill. It is
needless to remind the reflecting
reader that declamation is in so sense
argument and that intrepid assertion
falls far short of proof. The density
of population in England and in Con-
tinental Europe depresses the rate of
wages and keeps them down. An
English laborer receives from 120 to
160 cents a week. Capital is redund-
ant and interest is low’. Owing to
these courses England is able to
manufacture cheaper than America
but for the protection would under-
sell our home manufacturers; and as
her statesmen newspapers and manu-
facturers are w’ell aware of this sali-
ent fact and are anxious to secure an
additional market for British goods
they warmly endorse Cleveland’s free
trade opinions. The Cobden club is
animated purely by English views and

feelings and desirous of propagating
free trade sentiments in the United
States solely because they will re-
dound to the advantage of British
manufactures and therefore to the
detriment of American industries.
Those who conceive that the Cobden
club of England is actuated purely
by disinterested motives in its efforts
to propagate free trade ideas in the
United States are too verdant to be
allowed to go at large without av at-
tendant. Prior to 1876 England would
not sufter her thirteen colonies to
manufacture the most trifling article
but compelled them to buy English
made goods. She still craves a mon-
opoly of our market and is hostile
from interested motives to that system
which aims to foster and develop
American industries. She seeks her
own material prosperity when she
endeavors to popularize free trade in
the United States. I do not censure
her for doing so. But I have no terms
of condemnation strong enough for
the American w ho allows England to
use him as a puppet and decoy duck.
A celebrated general said he never
made the movement that his op-
ponent desired him to make in the
field and this wise maxim is equally
applicable to the commercial regula-
tions adopted by nations. The United
States has everything to lose and
nothing to gain by following the ad-
vice of England as to the adoption of
free trade. That reflection should
possess a paramount force with
patriotic Americans.
The money paid for American-made
goods is retained among us and forms
an integral part ofthe national wealth
while the money paid for English
goods is withdrawn from the United
States and goes to the enrichment of
the English manufacturers. American
patriotism cannot be at a loss which
alternative to choose.
Domestic manufactures give em-
ployment to American laborers and
exempt them from the more laborious
work of tilling the soil. It goes with-
out saying that if all our mills facto-
ries and foundries were blotted out
the hands now employed in them
would be forced by dire necessity to
till the soil or sink into abject pau-
perism.
We want more mills and factories
than we now’ posses. Here in Texas
we need woollen and cotton factories
to manufacture Texas wool and cot-
ton. We need tan yards and shoe
factories to convert our hides into
shoes. Protection will stimulate cap-
ital to embark in these industries.
Free trade will wither and dry up
like the breath of the Simoom the
fountain of industrial enterprise and
render the producers of Texas hewers
of wood and drawers of water
for English manufacturers. If
Texans were wise in their day
and generation they w’ould spew
out Mills and Co. and vote for Har-
rison? Why? Because it is to their
interest to have protection and sensi-
ble men are not such fools as to vote
against a measure or policy that con-
duces to their material prosperity. If
weare to have a “new south” we
must fling off the straight-jacket of
Bourbon politics and cease putting
“new wine in old bottles.” Toney.
