“When the low rates were made ef-
lective to Texarkana and Shreveport
from outside points," continued Air
Mayfield, “tho Texas Commission en-
deavored to have the railroads put is
the same rates to Dallas and othe
Texas points and their answer was to
raise the rates into this state, thereby
increasing the advantage of Texar-
kana, though they did raise the rate
from Shreveport."
Despite the holding of the Commerc
Court that the Texas rate was unrea-
sonable, Commissioner Williams still

hered to, even though it did violence
to a time-honored custom.
We are not to agreement with Mr.
Bryan in all his views. Very often we
find ourselves differing with him upon
matters affecting the public weal, and,
unlike him, we are not opposed to
serving light wines at social gather-
ings and dinings, such as had by him
a day or two ago; in fact, we think
it adds to the Joy and all round suc-
cess of the occasion, but our views
upon the use of the beverage at our
table is entirely different from his,
as shown by a lifelong course in that
respect, and to require of him to
change his habits and custom. to break
a resolution sacredly entered into in
the years that are gone, simply to con-
form to a custom even though it is
hoary with age, and thus preserve the
soclal amenities. Is an unreasonable de-
mand, and ono that no self-respecting
American will insist upon.
Beoretary Bryan is the lord of his
household. He blds his guests come
and partake of his hospitality, and if
they are not pleased with the charac-
ter of it, then they can decline the next
invitation and go where more con-
genial company can be found and
where drooping spirits may be re-
vived by the nectar that flows from the
fountain of good fellowship.

it is expected that a committee of

It never seemed to us quite in har-
mony with th® Democratic motto of
"Equal rights to all, special privileges
to none," to put a tariff on the prod-
ucts of the factory and admit free the
products of the farm and ranch. The
individual who produces a commodity
that is protected by a tariff, whether
he be a manufacturer or a farmer, re-
ceives some benefit from the tariff,
and it is but just that the farming
and ranch interests should be pre-
ferred in beatowing advantages by the
Government rather than the manufac-
turer.
The Democratic theory of a tariff
for revenue only I* the only correct
theory of the tariff, but in levying a
tariff to meet the legitimate expenses
of the Government, we should not lose
sight of its benefits. Free raw ma-
terial, with a tax on the corresponding
manufactured goods, benefits the man.
ufacturer only. The consumer has to
pay just as much for the finished
products a* if both the raw material
and the finished product were on the
taxed Hat, and the Government does
not get a* much revenue. On the other
hand, if both the raw material and
finished product are taxed alike th®
original producer and the manufac-
turer receive benefit® alike, and the
consumer is not hurt if the tax is
on a revenue basis only.
However, th* present Congress will
pass the tariff bill now being consid-
ered. and We ar® willing to await its
effects, both as to the prices of farm
and ranch product* and the prices paid
by the consumer for th® manufactur-
er’s product.—Lockhart Register.
