that by working 15 hours a day a

How many dozen shirts and half-

Leading Republicans may well
say of the robber tariff: "Gen-
tlemen, we know this is wrong;
but, sirs, where is our campaign
fund to come from?"
The spectacle of a millionaire
Senator voting to tax sewing
women is enough to stir the blood
of every voter in America. Shame
on our useless and dangerous
House of Lords!
The Fiftv-frst Congress would
like to upset the Southern State
governments and abolish Andrew
Jackson's Day. It will be too
busy, however, in fastening tariff
taxes on American workmen to at-
tend to everything.
How little Washington could
have anticipated, one hundred
years ago, that at this day his
country would be taxing one citi-
zen for the benefit of another—
that it would, in fact, be no longer
free!
Mr. Harrison should send a con-
gratulatory telegram to Governor
Bulkely, of Connecticut. A ma-
jority of the people of Connecticut
voted against Bulkely, and a ma-
jority of the people of the United
States voted against Harrison.
Of course the Republicans voted
down the amendment to the Tariff
Bill providing that the duty on
flax, hemp and jute shall not ex-
ceed 50 per cent, ad valorum. It
is through no help of the Republi-
can law-makers that the bagging
trust has been beaten..
The Atlanta Constitution and the
Sunny South each devote several
columns weekly to "Southern
News Items." These items are
given by States. Under the head
of'Georgia" and "Alabama," they
print numerous items about facto-
ries, schools and the resources of
the country,'while their items for
"Texas" consists almost exclus-
ively of reports of crime, with oc-
casional reference to drouths, cy-
clones' and other matters to tho
State's discredit. This systematic
disparagement of Texas has gone
on for years. Our people have
submitted to it quietly and uncom-
plainingly. But forbearance is no
longer commendable and tho Ban-
ner enters a Solemn protest. Wo
do not claim that false items are
printed in said papers. But it is >
clear to any observer that they in-
dustriously fill their "Texas" de-
partment with the bad, while they
seek out the good things that may
be said of other States, thereby
making Texas to suffer by the com-
parison they insiduously present
to the world from week to week.
Texas has her share of crime, but
not more than the other States, and
the attempt to create a contrary im-
pression is a libel upon her good
name that should be resented.—

The two papers abovo mentioned
are liberally patronized by the peo-
ple'of Texas and it seems to us
that policy would dictate fair treat-
ment, if a sense of justice did not..
We abhor the principal of the or-
ganized boycott, but we think that
every man should be his own boy-
cotting organization and in the
matter of newspaper patronage, we
should selcct papers that are fair
and just and untainted in political
principle. The Courier Journal
and the St. Louis Republic are pa-
lters of this class and thej deserve
a liberal patronage by tho people
of Texas.
