TRAVIS COUMTY POLITICS
This has been an ofTyear in politic
but with the dawning ol 18'J4 we may
expect things in a political way to liven
up for the contest to be settled by the
sovereigns in November. VVe must
elect a congressman and all our slate
officers. Old Travis was a red hot
i 'Urlr I'nnniv tn the last election but
It remains to be seen whether or not
the optioning factions of a year ao will
be harmonized on lines of sound seine
and Democratic principles before we
can ful' how the countv will go thU
timn The count v certainly has
nothing to take back for the past.
In strictly county politics exciting
times may be expected. Already the
air Is full of change and tne woons
urn roll of candidates I'oeslbly one
of the most import ant changes to take
pl.ce will he in the county clerk's
office. Mr. Frauk Brown has beeu
county clerk time out of mind but
It is understood that at the lam elec-
tion he said that he would not be a
candidate again aud so his mantle
must now fail on other shoulders.
The Statesman has heard mentioned
for this place Captain fthoads Fisher
and certainly no better choice oould
be made. He Is a man of
rips years and experience. He was
for many years employed In the State
Land olllce and was for nine years its
chief clerk. He la a Democrat sound
to the core and a man tried and true
In every walk of life. Whatever
changes may take place in our county
affairs Travis can not do better if he
will accept the olllce thin elect (.apt.
Khondt Kislier county clerk.
I'm k Statkhman is not a prophet
at least for 10 months ahead and
what other c.liansres iny occur il can
not now uttempt to predict. Hut it Is
understood tills will be a campaign
noted for its length and that within
the first month of the new yuar it
will be very well understood who
all the candidates will be. The
more the merrier. The great Ameri-
can people 1 jve excitement and more
especially political excitement. This
will accomplish one thing if it does
nothing more it will turn the tide of
gossip switching it off onto public
men and things instead of private
matters and individuals and that
wil! be a blessing. Trot out your can-
didates gentlemen it Is a free for all
race and It will be fun for the boys
and at least for awhile quite Interest-
ing to all of you.
Of course there Is opposition to the
Wilson tarl'f bill. Although the Demo-
crats won the race against protection
5000000 people of this country voted
for it aud It . is natural that they
should make a little noise about It.
SETTLH THE P1USV1PLE OF PRO-
TECTION FIRST.
The Nation a New York Demo-
cratic paper of the most conservative
and highest character rarely ever
er.s but It certainly did last week in
lis leading editorial when it de-
clared that speedy action on the tar ill'
was more important than the nature
of the bill Itself. The Nation says
very truly that manufacturers do not
know what to do In this uncertainty
aud cites the fact that while the kind
of wool we grow Is not grown in other
countries the very fear that our wool
used iu the manufacture of carpets
might be used as a substitute for for-
elgu wool In the manufacture of cloth
Inir induced the committee lavoring
the Mclvlnley bill to put a tariff on
wool at ill! per ceut and argues while
that tariff exists wheu there is
h'.qie of free wool inanufac
Hirers will not purchase a supply and
thereby shorten the mauiifacture ol
carpets. Other things are also cited to
show the uecessity of Immediate ac
tiou of Congress so that prices Ail
be settled and manufacture go on.
It is certainly a strong argument
iu favor of immediate action but The
Nation goes too far wheu it siys that
immediate action ou the tariff bill is
mora important than the bill Itself.
A suspension of manufacture for ouly
a hhort lime would injure the Imsiuess
of the country but almost auy tem
porary suspension ot business can
belter be borne than the
Una! postponement of the settle
ment of the principle Involved in
the tarill'bill. The Democratic party
h:i- fought too loug and sacrificed too
ni'ii'h wheu the victory is wou to
make humiliating terms with the
enemy for expediency sake. The battle
li is been fought upon the plain issue
whether a tariff for reveuue ouly is to
be the honest policy of this country
lor of course as loug as there is a cus
tom tariff it must involve to eonie ex-
tent the false piluclple of protection
or whether the McKlnley bill is right
in principle but aiay be too high in
itr protective terms. Whether in fact
a protective tarifflu which revenue to
the government is a mere Incident
and the principle of paying
a bonus out of the pockets
of orhers to manufacturers is right.
That was the Issue settled by the peo-
ple in their votes iu 18 j0 tnd 1392 and
It was settled just as the Democratic
ii itionul platform declared and just as
Mr. Cleveland had dsclared when he
sacrificed the presidency by boldly
asserting that the whole principle ot
a protective tariff was wroug uucou
stitutlonal aud dishonest and unless
this congress can obey the mandates
of the people and lr.gralt the doctrines
ol the tariff nlank on the policy and
workings of the government we had
belter suffer a postponement of the
whole question until the people have
an opportunity to elect a congress
that will obey their mandates. We
ktiov that this is even an extreme
Democratic view of the matter but
we are tired of com promises that
mean nothing and settle nothing on
this question and we regard the set-
tlement of the principle of more im
portance than the immediate resump
tiou of operations of the manufactories
or the county.
THE WORK OF THE HEATH OFFI
CER.
The industrious activity of our
health superintendent Dr. it. M
Swearingeu is not fully appreciated
because his work is so silent that the
citizens of Texas will be glad to learn
that while smallpox is ragiDg at
Lowlen Lerdo aud Durango along
the Hue of the Mexican International
railroad which is an extension of our
railroad system into the City oi Mex
ico Dr. Hwearingen has secured the
active co-operation of thi officers of
that road in isolating their fenced sta-
tions from the general public so that
it may aid his own officers in their
quarantine duty at Laredo and Jagle
I'ass Texas. At first the officers of
the road objected to any kind of ac-
tion in the premises but our superin-
tendent of health has convinced them
of the value of the policy they have
adopted of thorough co-operation with
him iu keepiug emli pox out of Texas.
Tlie eternal vigilance so necessary
to shut out contagious diseases it
will be seen is even ex-
tondeil into Mexico by our efficient
health officers. For years the health
officers of Texas have urged the
Mexican government to adopt com-
pulsory vaccination for small-pox but
they have heretofore been deal to all
appeal. Now by the influence ol
Dr. ywearingen the officials of he
International and other Mexicau rail-
roads have become earnest in their
appeals to the government of Mexico
to enforce compulsory vaccination
with the best prospects of success in
in that respect. The Mexican people
are opposed to vaccination and will
only submit to it upon compulsion.
It Is to be hoped the efforts in this re-
spect of our efficient health officer will
induce the authorities to adopt the
compulsory system and thereby not
only save themselves from the fatal
scourge but give additional safety to
our ports or places of entry of the
maiu travel into this country an the
Mexican railroad lines.
A conoiussman from Ohio thinks
we ought not admit any more states
into the union until we can civilize
Kansas. Kansas it is true hai been
behaving like an overgrown baby
ever since its admissiou into the
union. Perhaps the cause of it Is
that Kansas has always felt that it
was a kind of bastard fledgling and
uudr the bar siuster had not the
pride to behave as well as the itates
with their escutcheons emblazoned
with the bar dexter. Hut that is a
poor reason why we should not admit
Utah with a larger population than
any state yet had asking admission.
Utah for a while was not very faith-
ful to the eeventh commandment but
she has repented and given security
for good behavior by abolishing polyg
amy.

R. 0.
Sun A Co. on the Condition
of th
Buiinesi of the Conntry.
Nkw Yokk Dec. 20. Dun's Weekly
Review wivs:
Starting with the largest trade ever
known mills crowded with work and
all business stimulated by high hopes
the year l!?!3 proved iu Midden shrink
age of trade commercial disasters aud
depression of industries the worst for
60 years. Whether the tiual results of
the panic of 1873 were relatively more
Fevere the cauty records of that time
do not clearly show. The year cloi-es
with prices of many products the
lowest ever known. "With millious ol
workers seeking io vain for work aud
with charity laboring to keep back
suffering and starvation iu all our
cities all hope the new year may
tiring brighter uavs but the dyiug
year leaves only a dismal record.
Review of the different dt partmeuts
of trade given today exhibit a collapse
of industry and business almost with -out
precedent. The iron industry sus-
tained a weekly production of 181. "i-M
tons of pig to May 1 but by Oet. 1 the
output had fallen to tons aud
recovery to about 100.000. Dec. 1 still
leaves 40 per cent of the force uuetu-
nloyed. Over half the woolen manufacturers
are idle aud only a brief recovery has
been made since November. Sales of
cotton goods are fully 1-4 below the
usual quantity. The small advance
attempted in boots and shoes a year
asgo was not sustained but with price
a low as ever shiptuen.s of boots unds
shoes fjom Boston were 24 per ceut
le.-s than last year in December.
Not only manufactured goods as a
whole but the most important lariM
products are so low farmers find little
comfort. Enormous stocks boughtand
htld with the aid of banks until heavy
receipts in the spring caused a collapse
ot wheat nork and cotton pools.
Disastrous failures helped produce
alarm which soon made money im-
possible to eet. but even at the last
hour of the panic prices were scarcely
lower than now. Wheat was repeat
edly sold here and at Chicago at tlio
lowest price ever known ana but 1
cent above it now. Pork lell 7 in an
hour when speculation burst but sells
lower vet today.
Cotton lifted a cent with accounts of
scarcity in September but lost most of
the t'aio and sells below 8 ceuts. Thus
unreasonable speculations by preveut
inir sale of surplus products have
proved a great injury to farmers at a
time when their enforced curtailment
of purchases was disastrous to all other
industries Clear evidence of siiriuK-
age in different braucties of business
is afforded by answers already received
to several thousand circulars request-
ing figures of sales during the last half
of 1893 and 1892. Full information of
results will be given hereafter but re
turns of textile goods already show
sales amounting to $438!M8i5 this
year airainst $70347882 last year a
decrease of 37 per ceut.
Iron returns thus far aggrega e ifw
853180 against $05520021 last year
decrease ot 38 per cent. Reports thus
far of iewelrv snow a decrease of 29 pt r
cent furniture 20 p;r cent dry goods
20 per cent hats 19 5 per cent hard
ware 19 per cent shoe manulHcrureis
18 per ceut and bv (Sealers 8 per ecu.
and clothing 10 per ivnt
It is curious tlie only trade showing
any increase as yet is m groceries air-
grrgare sales tieinir I per cent larger
than in the last halt of 1892. In 37
years covered by records of this
agency numbers of failures hive only
once risen a little above 1GG"0 iu a
year. In 1893 the number reported
has been 10.050. Aggregate liabilities
in all failures reporten has in six years
risen above $200000000. This year
strictly commercial liabilities exceeded
S331.422.939 Liabilities of banking
and financial institutions have beeo
$2100.p)(i8(i4 and liabilities of railroads
olaeed in the hands of receivers about
$1212217033. As all reports have
hitherto been to some extent erroneous
through inclusion of failures not strict-
ly commercial classified returns are
more complete and instructive than
auy hitherto published. They show
3220 manufacturing failures with lia-
bilities of $104707440 10.03 failures in
legitimate trade with liabiiities of $85
527890 and 302 other failures inelud
ing brokers and speculators with Iim-
abilities of $30002735. Average liabili-
ties iu manufacturing $50000. In legiti-
mate trading $8000 and in other fail-
ures $11000.
