An Able Defense or the Fleecy

BY JAKE WEAVER OF MART,
"Woll, how is politics in your part
of tho county?"
"I havo not been among my neigh
bors m u oh and cannot speak authori
tatively as to them but 1 am for Clark
for governor and Mills for tho sonuto,
and I boliovo tho ticket will oarry in
Mart, McLennan county and the whole
state."
Mr. Jake Weaver needs no intro
duction to the majority of our oiti.ontj,
out there Hre some, of oourso, who
bavo not been in this county lone
enough to know the veteran cotton
raiser and ginnor. Mr. Weaver has
been in tho business moro than thirty
years aud has prospered. Ho has a
magnificent farm on Bit; Ureok on tho
Mart and Waoo road, and ono of tho
finest gins in Texas is owned and
inanageu by him on tho farm. M
Weaver lost his right bund last fa'l
by cettine it aucht in tho cin. A
singular coineidenco was noticed in
these columns at tho timn. Mr. HV.ink
lanes, another veteran rrinnnr. living
i f -. --
at Lorena, lost his arm tho aamo day
in tho samo way, and both wore ampu
tated at the samo placo-just below the

A Veteran Cotton ISaUcr or .llcl.tm
imii County-over Production not
tho Cause of Low l'rico. It Hi
tho KcMtrictltin of our Markets
for Mill anil Clark.
Mr. Jake Weaver of Mart, MoLen
nan county is in tho city today and
meoting him on the streot this morn
ing a representative of The News
put a few interrogatories with refer
ence to the prospects among the cot
ton raisers.
"Is thero any disposition in your
neighborhood Mr. Weaver to reduce
tho aoreage of cotton?" was askod.
Thore is some talk about it but I
reckon every man will r.in
all tho ground ho can get broke
including all the sod land, and now
and then a rented patch. That's my
advice to my neighbors. I boliove
every farmer ought to raise all the
corn, wheat oats, hay, in fact, every
thing in the way of feed and hogs
enough for his moat, but for a money
crop he is bound to plau'tAotton. Uot
ton is nr'ghty low, I gratit you, but if
one bale brings fcii), two bales will
bring $60, and if that is our only
money crop I would liko to know how
wo can help ourselves.
"I have heard a pmnt. a0i i...i
uvUr prouueuon as Deing tho oiuso of
the low prioo in cotton bnt I don't bo
heve a word of it. Why, in 1867
cotton sold here in Waco at 4 oonts a
pound and everybody was afraid of it
at that price. I was raising ootton then
in tho Brazos Bottom and in common
with every other ootton raisor, wanted
to know why ootton sud
denly dropped so low.
T TOflQ tnA tlinn -,. r ...
- ., ,v. vuuu us i am now that it
was overproduction, that we wore
raising too much of it, wo had better
jnaut- jess cotton and more corn and
other grain. The next year ootton
oponed up at 10 oonts and beforo the
season closed went to 18.
"This is a cotton country and it is
foohshnoss for tho farmers of Texas
to try to raisa grain for the mar
ket. As I said before it is
well enough for all of iLem
to raise their own hnna anA . j
all kinds of feed for their own use
but wo can't compete with Kansas
Missouri, Illinois and other western
states m tho grain market, and thore
are many things other states can raise
and soil us cheaper than wo can raiso
them ourselves. If this wero not
truo wo would need no commerce.
Our roilroads and steam ship lines
would bo of no nsn ulinfo..- :c
could produoo overy article of food
and clothing. '0 produoo things
that other counties cannot, and they
produoo things wo cannot and is tho
exchange of those commodities that
mases both prosperous,"
"A restriction of suoh exchange is
detrimental to all produoors too? re
markod the reporter."
"You aro exaotly right there. Wo
want to oxchancc our ootton with
anybody who will give us more of
what wo want in return for it and wo
want every barrier torn down that pre
vents a froo oxo hango of our products
with the world. This, after all, is
what determines tho prioo of any
thing. Tho more dillioult it is to ox
change what suplus we havo tho lower
the price of that surplus. Tho freor
wo are to deal with the consumers of
our produots tho moro extended our
market will be and hotter -prices we
will got.

Tho Abuse of Petition.
It is not often necessary to petition
a man to allow his name to be used as
a candidate for any particular office.
When properly used it should bo in
the hands of the people, the one peti
tioned not knowing an) thing about it
until the samo is presented to him
for nis consideration.
When used it is suDnnsnrl tn n
a man of intorrritv of nnmnao A
firmness of character, specially quail-
..vu vU uicui sumo particular crisis in
public Hffairs.
When in tho hands of offioe soe'--ers,
