Tun withdrawal of money from
Texas under the Gossett alien land
law is like the withdrawal of blood
from the human system The Gossett
law v ill bleed Texas lo financial death
THFJtE is not a majority of the Texas
legislature in favor of bankrupting the
tate The Gossett amendment of the
alien land law will te wrecked as soon
as a special session gets a chance at it
A delegate to the Dallas meetins of
the Alliance tells it that the convention
Mas very harmonious So it was after
everybody had been kicked out that
didnt stand in with the subtreasury
fellow
Tin Gazettes Austin correspond

will be called and that an amendment
of the Gossett law will bo in
cluded in the objects mentioned in
the call for such session Justice de
mands an extra session and so doe <
the tinancial condition of the people of
the state
The Gazette is not sectional East
Ttxas is sectional when it legislates to
hold West Texas in bondage through
lease laws alien land laws with Gossett
amendments and such like abomina
tions East Texas papers are sectional
and hope to distract attention from
their sectionalism by crying out against
those who dare to show up their selfish
ness
Tin Gazette prints today a com
munication from Mr D S los the
spirit of which this paper does not in
dorse and the policy of which it seri
ously questions Molasses catches more
Hies than vinegar and ho man is ex
empt from mistakes The communica
tion is printed to show the exaggera
tion of the fceltig excited by the
destructive alien land law as amended

The scholarship papers still continue try
ing to justify their course by lelating the
bfticlhs to the girls of Tcas The scheme
is all right but why not scud them toTevas
schools The papers that sny in one ol

to Texas girls Go out of Texas to school
lnty be consistent but the Kegister tails to
see it Sherman Kegister
Is the Register quite sure that the
religious press of Texas would have

of the colleges under church control
The Register should interview its home
colleges on the subject
The mangiest dogs in the manger

burning the grass on the Cherokee
Strip because they are not allowed to
invade it and settle there on free lauds
taken from the Indians As long as
they cant enjoy it thev are determined
that nobody shall get the benefit of the
rich grazing in the Strip If the Fed
eral government does not deal with
those incendiaries as is provided for in
case of arson it will fail in its duty to
the public
The Gazette republishes today the
platform adopted last August by the
Democracy of Texas There is not a
word in the document demanding the
exclusion of cheap money The third
party does demand this in its formal
approval of the Gossett amendment
Tne demand of Democracy is that no
corporation alien or domestic shall
praetVrilly through stock certificates
fasten a worse than law of primogeni
ture on this state The present alien
laud law goes further it goes as far as
the subtreasury demand and seeks to
remand the state to a r > per cent per
month monev
Mi Gibh = thinks it is remarkable
that with so many printed copies of the
bill furnished members and with so
many representatives of the press at
Austin this agitatiou should come so
late He is speaking of tho alien land
law and tho agitation for the repeal of
the Gossett amendment If Mr Gibbs
will acquaint himself with the circum
stances of tho passing of that bill he
will not consider the silence of the
press and the action of tho legislature
to remarkable The bill that was
passed was not tho bill that had been
read and approved so generally It
was a case of sailing under false colors
President U S Hall of the Mis
souri Alliance has been overthrown by
the subtreasury faction of the order
Defeat in this case is a badge of honor
He fought a good fight for honesty and
common sense in the Alliance but the
craze against which he opposed him
self was too violent and lie fell before
it A divided Alliance in Missouri as
in Texas will come of this work The
fanatics are in tho saddle and they will
ride down all who do not go with them
or get out of the way Scnsiblo and
conservative farmers cannot consent to
approvo the Ocala platform and they
will have to do that or leave the Alli
ance or take up with the movement
that started in the Fort Worth conven
tion which will likely l > e perfected in
the St Louis convention in favor of an
Alliance built upon the original plan of
a nonnolitical organization
President Polk of the National
Farmers Alliance is credited with be
ing a man of good sense but ho will
forfeit his claim to that reputation if
he does as he is reported to contem
plate doing and sends a challenge to
fight a duel This is the Nineteenth
centurv The duel is a relic of barbar
ism that has no place in this age If

THE GAZETTE FT WOETH TEXAS PETDAY AUGUST 20
tha things said against Mr Polk s
character are true ho is not going to
mend matters by shooting their au
thor cr getting shot by him If these
charges are not true they wont hurt
and tho law provides a remedy in a
suit for libel It will be a great let
down for the Allianco as a factor in
civilization and advancement to go
into the barbarous business of murder
If it be possible to imagine such a calam
ity let us suppose for a moment that the
state had a legislature composed of such
men as Doremus and Jenkins of the Xews
Johnson of the Post Edwards and Brann of
the Statesman Grice and Canfield of the
Express Byrne of the Day and Malone of
Tan Gazhttc What would become of the
state Unless some Cromwellgor Cincin
natus went in and took thes Aigoted pa
triots by the heels and threw them out of
the windows of the statchousc the state
would soon be in the condition that Phil
Sheridan mentioned when he spoke of what
he would do with Texas if he owned it and
a certain other place Crockett Courier
Such a calamity is impossible No
newspaper man ever goes into politics
but if we could imagine newspaper men
as Texas lawmakers there would be
more commonsense legislation more
practical benefit to the people and
less listening for the roar from the
forks of tho creek socalled than
any state ever knew
WILT GO AS THEY PLEASE
The contention over tho transporta
tion of The Gazettes Texas girls is
unfortunate as it will unavoidably re
sult in dividing the shipment of this
bevy of Texas loveliness In this con
tention The Gazette can take no
part and those of the young ladies
whoso fare is paid by this paper are
now advised that they are free agents
in the matter and that The Gazette
does not presume to dictate their
route to Hardin college If the young
ladies whoso fare is paid by The Ga
zette desire to go by the Texas and
Pacific it is all right with The Ga
zette if they prefer to go by the
Santa Fe it is all right with The Ga
zette and it is all right with THE
Gazette if they select any oilier
route
The contention over The Gazettes
girls is very natural and it is also very
unfortunate but while unfortunate
The Gazette cannotiindit in its heart
to blame the railroad bovs
llllLnlNC ASSOCIATIONS AITECTED
Seme weeks ago when The Ga
zette intimated that the operation of
building associations might be affected
by tho Gossett alien land law a good
friend in Fort Worth laughed at this
paper for having gone mad on the
subject That friend will doubtless
be interested in reading the following
piece of information from Hillsboro
For some time past one of the leading
loan savings and building associations in
tho South has been doing business in this
city and a considerable number of citizens
of all classes have taken stock in the entcr
pi ise and in that way invested a portion of
theirearnings Today Mr George I Jordan
of the firm of Upshaw Jordan received a
letter from the headquarters of the compa
ny in New Orleans notifying him of the
withdrawal of the company from business
in this state in consequence ot the passage
of the alien laud law
They write him that in view of the fact
that thoy aro unable to state whether or not
any unnaturalized persons are connected
with their association owingto tho peculiar
working of the law as passed by the legisla
ture they cannot afford to do any further
business in tho state until its modification
or repeal They write further that in view
of tho fact that the law in effect says no
alien can lorin a part of a corporation which
loans money in the state of Texas and the
further fact that their charter bylaws and
regulations expressly states that any per
son may become a member of the corpora
tion they are unable to tell just who aro
or who may become members of the com
pany and hence cannot afford to run the
risk consequent upon tho conduct of busi
ness from their standpoint in this state at
this time
Building associations who have even
a singlo alien stockholder are vitally
affected by the Gosset law and so are
the homes obtained through such asso
ciations
THE MKINLKY RflT ON COTTON
A former resident of Fort Worth
now living in Montana sends us a copy
of the Helena Journal Russell Har
rison s paper with a blue pencil mark
around this paragraph
Our dispatches this morning show that
there is a decided improvement in the busi
ness outlook all over the country except in
the South where there seems to be a large
surplus cotton crop and a weak demand
That difficulty will soon bo overcomo when
the stocks of foreign goods are reduced and
tho great American mills are run at full ca
pacity as the McKinley law will enable
them to do
That home market again A
thing always to bo had but which
never comes When the first tariff on
foreign manufactures was imposed tho
argument was made that it would
build up a market for the farmers
products and we would no longer have
to depend on foreign nations to take
our surplus That was something
near a hundred years ago and yet that
home market is still to come The
McKinley bill is to fetch it
If any sort of evidence could convince
the American people of the absurdity
of the claim of prosperity depending
upon a high tariff this McKinley bill
should supply that evidence in abund
ance The most alluring promises were
held out of its revivifying effects upon
the fortunes of the farmers It was es
pecially to raise the price of wool and
cotton Wool and cotton are now lower
than they ever have been at any time
since the war The only agricultural
products that are higher now than they
were before the enactment of the Mc
Kinley bill are corn and wheat two
cereals which it did not touch The
former is high on account of the failure
of the crop last year and the latter be
cause of the failure of the crop in Eu
rope this year and the extra demand
for our surplus It is the foreign mar
ket that causes the advance
As The Gazette showed a few days
ago Europe takes four hales of our
cotton for every one that is taken in
the North The McKinley bill does
not advance the rate of tariff on cotton
since to do so would be too ridiculous
for oven McKinley as cotton is an ex
port and not an import The raising
of tho tariff on cotton goods can in no
wiso help tho Southern planter The
New England manufacturer is going to
buy his cotton as cheap as ho can He
wont pay a cent more for it when he is
doing a good business than he has to
and he will pay that much for it when
business is low with him because he
has to And the tariff that shuts our
market to foreign looms therely lessens
the demand for our cotton from foreign
spinners for if they can t sell so much
goods they can t use so much cotton
and the narrowing of the market for
cotton decreases the demand for it and
reduces the price That is the way the
McKinley bill builds up prosperity in
the South
THE UE3IOCUATJC DEJIANI
The third party approved the Gossett
alien land law This is what Democ
racy in convention assembled last
August demands
We demand that the constitutional pro
vision that prohibits monopolies contrary
to the yenius of a free government bo re
spected and obeyed in all particulars and
especially by an enactment of a law that
w ill prohibit tho further operation of laud
corporations and requiring those now hold
ing possession or title of lands to dispose of
the same within such reasonable tiino as
will not impair invested rights and that
tho policy of selling public lands to actual
settlers may be strictly enforced
Democracy makes no distinction be
tween alien and domestic corporate
ownership of lands in the evil to the
country from such ownership Indeed
tho millions of Texas acres owned by
William Walter Phelps an American
individual if held from division would
be as detrimental as though held by an
alien corporation The Democratic
doctrine is that the land should be held
for homes for the people and not as
pastures for corporations but Democ
racy does not demand that the people
shall be deprived of cheap money
through tho expulsion of mortgage
companies that have reduced the rate
of interest from Zi and 10 per cent lo S
and 9 per cent
The subtreasuryites would like to
drive the people to desperation by ex
pelling money from the state for in
desperation men could be forced to in
dorse tho pawnshop financial theories
of third party leaders
1 lie Alien Lund fir
Texas Insurance and Hanking Bulletin
Texas has but recently enacted a law di
rected at alien ownership of land in Texas
which if it stands the test of the courts will
have the effect of driving permanently from
the market tho only cheap money availa
ble and practically the only money being
loaned upon real estate securities The
new law debars foreign syndicates front ac
quiring title to land in Texas thereby de
stroying in a groat measure their security
from loss in case foreclosure becomes nec
essary putting them upon such occasions
entirely at the mercy of others The result
of the adoption of this piece of hostile legis
lation is that foreign money has been with
drawn from the market weakening one
large bank at Fort Worth which in turn
has earned down another at Jefferson and
greatly inconveniencing many other mon
etary institutions throughout the larger
cities The most interesting and poetic
feature of the situation is that the very
greatest hardship will be experienced by
the very class of men responsible for such
narrow legislation for these aro tho men
who have been borrowing foreign money at
low rates on long time and with real estate
security more than 70 per cent of all the
movey loaned upon farm lands in
Texas being alien capital These people
are already taring notice that no extensions
or renewals will be granted and doubt
less before lone the reformers will find out
what it is to be driven to the local banks
whet o they can only borxo w in limited sums
on short time with personal security and
at a much higher rate of interest It seems
to be but another caso of the strong man
pulling down the pillars of the temple to
avenge himself upon his enemies only to
be himself buried deepest in the ruins
But viewed alone from the standpoint of
patriotism it does seem a matter for deep
and lasting regret that Texas or any other
young and rapidly developing state should
wantonly discard so valuablo an aid as
cheap foreign money and throw itself
solely upon the assistance which a limited
local capital is able to give knowing how
absolutely impossible it is for the demand
to be met from that source The Bulletin
will look forward to the time when a
broader and more comprehensive states
manship shall characterize the people chosen
to exercise the legislative function in
Texas
What Girls Can Do
Texas Farmer
The late contest for scholarships offered
by several Texas papers to girls was doubt
less sugcrested by tho similar offer of the
Ladies Home Journal which has for sev
en al years been working liko a charm
both for the Journal and the young contest
ants Tho great success of this schema is
suggestive of reflections very encouraging
to the girls
In this case tho fact is brought out that
gills are popular Men have come to re
gard their education as one of the important
questions of the day Twenty years ago a
publishing house would have made this
offer to boys instead of girls That many
of tho votes were prompted by selfish rea
sons no one doubts yet many were not
Behind much of the effort lay a generous
desire to help girls to an education Why
Because advantages they have had for some
years past have proved them possessors of
undreamed capabilities that are becoming a
power in the world Men are coming to re
gard the cirl an important factor in lifes
great work Not only this but in a com
parative way with boys
Twenty years ago as before said the wise
publisher would have taken hold of the boy
as the promising element in an enterprise
like this That tho girl is selected now is
due to her own hard earnest efforts In
many of our leading institutions of learning
she has for years outstripped her brother
and now is showing her ability for practi
cal application of what she has learned In
the case of the Ladies Home Journal girls
win scholarships by hard work in canvass
ing for subscribers
Tho almost marvelous increase in its cir
culation is a proof of the industry and busi
ness talent of girls
The Cutris publishing company believed
that that they could do that work better
surer and faster than men or women or
boys hence the offer was made them and
not through sentiment Business men
rarely are governed by sentiment They
cant afford it
What of all this Simply this fact girls
that you can do much of the worlds import
ant work and that work will be freely
given 3ou just as fast as you are prepared
to do it There arc always ready places for
prepared people of either sex but women
aro to have a larger share than they have
heretofore had
Many women and girls when left to their
resources for support get discouraged and
soured toward the business world because
places are not given them In most of
these case = it is because they are not quali
fied to do the work They have not studied
and labored for that purpose Happy the
day for gills when education includes a
training and knowledge for selfsupport
If the girl has done so well with her limited
opportunities what may we not hope for
from her when they are great and broad as
they should be
Improve what is before you and be sure
a vl > fr
V fr U
as you prove yourself efficient and useful
opportunities will constantly open before
you Fortunes may not bo poured at your
feet as they seem to have been to some of
the fair contestants for the scolarship
prizes but recognition and success will fol
low cheerful earnest effort Texas Farmer
always has a hurrah and a hat off to
the girl who tries to help herself especially
to the Texas fanner girl

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
riatforui Adopted by the Democracy of
Texas Upon Which Gov llosc
was Elected
1 That we the Democracy of Texas in
convention assembled pledge anew our de
votion to the timehonored principles of
democracy and reanirm tho principles an
nounced in the last national and state plat
forms
i That the government of the United
States has only the powers expressly given
it in the constitution of the United States
and the amendments thereto and we be
liee that the perpetuity of the Union
created by said constitution and amend
ments constitutionally and consistently
w ith popular liberty and the blessing o t
local selfgovernment can be secured only
by tho jealous confinement of tho Federal
government in idl its departments to the
legitimato and economic exercise of the
powers so expressly conferred upon it
3 That on this principle we oppose any
tariff or duty Itir other purpose than reve
nue only We oppose tho collection and
distribution by the Federal government of
any money in aid of the educational sys
tems of the Southern states or any if them
or in tho way of advancement on loan to
any citizens or class upon any sort of se
curity whether government or commercial
bonds farms or other products We opi > ose
the election law recently passed by tho He
publican house of representatives and con
demn all the recent encroachments by the
Federal judiciary upon the power of the
states
4 That in a free representative govern
ment there is no room for any life tenure of
any office and of such tenuie i born arbi
trary and irresiXHisiblc power Therefore
we favor an amendment to the Federal con
stitution limiting the tenure of Federal
offices to a reasonable term of years
> That we are opposed to the continuance
of the national banking system and demand
the abolishment thereof as soon as by law
the same can be done We demand thi pas
sage of all necessary laws preventing the
creation of trusts and providing for the dis
solution of those now in existence That
wcareinfit or of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and indorse tho action of
our senators and representatives There
fore w e aro opposed to paternalism in all
its forms and acting upon this principle wo
oppose the ownership by the government of
the railway and telegraph lines of the state
as destructive to the rights and liberties of
the people and tending to the establishment
of a despotic government
t > We believe that it is the right ard duty
of the state to regulate and control the
public highways within their limits and
that effective regulation is impracticable
without ihe agency of a railway commis
sion Therefore we favor tho amendment
to article 10 section 2 of the present con
stitution relating to railroads submitted to
a vote of tho people by tho last legislature
and we demand and plcdgo the enactment
of a law creating a commission clothed with
any power necessary to prevent abuses and
discrimination and to make establish and
maintain reasonable rates of charges for
the transportation of passengers and freight
having origin and destination within the
limits of this state
7 We demand that the constitutional
provision that prohibits monopolies con
trary to the genius of a free government
bo respected and obeyed in all particulars
and especially by the enactment of a law
that Mill prohibit tho further operation of
land corporations and rcquping those now
holding possession or title of lands to dis
pose of the same within such reasonable
time as will not impair invested rishts and
that tho policy of selling tho public lands
to actual settlers may bo strictly enforced
S Wo demand that as a general diffusion
of knowledge is essential to the promotion
of the liberties and rights of the people
the constitutional provision requiring the
public free schools to be maintained and
supported for a period of not less than six
months of each year shall bo fully and
faithfully carried out and that tho univer
sity it branches and the other public edu
cational institutions bo properly endowed
and maintained
9 We demand that suitable provision be
made by tho state for a home for tho dis
abled Confederate soldiers where their
reasonable wants may bo supplied and their
miseries alleviated without humiliation to
them as objects of charity
10 We favor separate coaches for white
and black passengers on the railways of
this state and demand that our legislature
pass a law which shall compel railways to
furnish the same
