A. II. BELO CO. DRMQCliATIC KQCTRINK HKOAIIDINQ SILVEll COINAGE. Gainesville Hesperian: The Dallas News continues to lecture Air.

Culberson and uc- i-iist'M him of violating or repudiating the llnunclal plunk of the platform. The News Is ably nnd la equal to any paper or jiny man in defense of its views. If It will tell us what its silver policy hi it will gratify thousands of Its renders who dru as anxious us WH nru lo know. financial plunk In the democratic a means nothing: if it Is not carrlfil out. To In favor of free coinage and still no steps to It, would be decep- i pure and simple.

Mr. Culbi-rson fclves bis views of how thf silver In pint form should be curried out. Tho News believes first, last nnd nil the time In sound money. It holds that the commercial rating and olllciency of nil ilniinr-H should IK? the flame. A tc the best means of securing this parity perlmiiB no one 18 prepared to suggest an Infallible plan.

Perhaps the best and. only way would be by some sort of International regulation. In fuel: It Is whether any sate and reliable standard for tho development of a monetary system can be Instituted save by i a i a agreement, either express or Implied. The value of pold Is fixed by nn i and common consent of nations under the universal laws uf. commerce.

So to an extent lit tlicr present relatively low value of silver. The ability of a country to huld half- silver dollars Is certainly limited hy Its credit. The credit of this country has been strained already by a burden of this kind. The strain became so dangerous that statesmen of. both parties joined with euuli other In the repeal of Hit Sherman silver purchase law.

Howuver, no reasonable objection can be urged tu such "safeguards of legislation" as arc neressary to Insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals if r.uch are possible. We have tf mtfoty tfhbuld InfaiMbly maintained. It not vtlvvr declaration In the platform" which Mr. Culbemon prvpowM 10 carry out. The platform now for reckless and unwnditU'iiul loosenewi to which he nurrrndtra himself.

It declares ex- 'preaaly aynlimt U. democratic party of Texan In convention assembled ut expressly refused to adopt the very statement regarding quvBtlon that Us candidate now claims authority to make. The silver plunk presented by minority of platform committee wojs aa follows; 4. We hold to the utte of both gold und silver as the standard money of the country and to the cotnagH of both without discrimination against cither or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of'colnuge of both metals shall adjusted by such safeguards of lugllatluii us shall insure the umiiiteimiicti ui' the parity of the two metala, and the equal power of every dollar at all Umcs in the markets and in the payment of debts, and we believe that this parity and purchasing power will be maintained by the free and unlimited coinage of both metals ul the ratio of 1(! to 1. This was rejected by the democracy of Texas.

The candidate of the party disregards this fact, repudiates the creed of his own party and adopts as his platform the populistic rubbish which the convention cast out. Jf the Hesperian will read and consider the matter fairly it will flnd It Impossible to get around these facts. The national democratic administration has reduced the expenses of the government $28,000,000 a year. THE LAW AS A CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT. Fort Gazette: Does It reach any trusts It should not reach, and, If so, what are they and where are they? It reaches every firm of merchants in tlie state who dare to mark prices on tfreir goods as well as every clerk who sells the goods.

It reaches every commercial club in Texas. It certainly includes labor unions. It applies to lovers in contemplation of marriage partnerships. If not, let some of the whoopers who seek to deceive the people with it explain why not. They can not do eo.

They prefer to use the pitiful abortion as a campaign document and to deceive with it the very people whose confidence and support they have The Gazette gives the bench and bar of earth the following: When jurisprudence first started on its career of real development the trusts which are prohibited by the. Texas law were declared to be criminal and were the common law In force in Texas to-day aa a erlmlnal system, every offense that onn be unished under our statute would be pun- Immedlatt of silv vrktr Wit.

So live that when you pass away you will leave cither a monument or a good Impression. BTOLEN TRANSPORTATION" Is Sold by a Stranger to a Ticket Broker In Fort Worth. Fort Worth, Oct. a slick talking, well dressed stranger entered a ticket broker's office on Main street and offered for sale a 1000-mile ticket over the Santa Fe, Rock Island and Cotton Belt, Issued to H. H.

Keck. which he represented to be his name. He stated that his house had called him in and he had no use for the transportatio Tho broker bought the Santa Fe ticke paying J9.SO for It. The stranger at once left. Later on the genuine H.

H. Keck. who is a well known salesman for a st. Louis firm, arrived and reported to the broker that three mileage books had been punl Ishal.ble under that. The "trusts" prohibited by the Texas law Include nil the firms and persons mentioned above and this law is being vigorously applied to cotton seed crushers who were unheard of wlHMi "jurisprudence first started on its career of real development." Jf tho common law were In force in Texas'to-day no person could be prosecuted for felonious conspiracy to commil an act which would not be criminal if committed by him singly, and men would be permitted by law to do In combination all that they would be entitled to do as individuals.

But whatever the law of the land may be it Is certainly fair to demand a shall be evenly enforced. The present "trust law," apart from one express exception, applies to almost everybody and should nut be used solely against cotton seed llendH for campaign purposes. lm night and aski lm ing hi THE STATE CAMPAIGN Chairman Dilworth on Mr. Crowley't at Yoakum, im to look out foi ou oi 'hem.

If t'he state says the employers must pay a tlxed price for the work, It has practically tlxed tlie price of the commodity, Tlio law ran fix the price, but It can not compel the consumers to buy at that price. The next logical step Is to make a penal offense not to buy at 'that dollars of equal value in the markets of price. Then why not let the law fix the the world now and The News believes rlce everything directly? would be as any other decree would be enforced.

Let us see how t(his will work. A is a maunufacturer who pays his men on an average $2 a day. Owing 'to Home cause lie finds he can not pay tliia any longer and reduces wages to $1.80. The men oppose this. They say they can not live on less than $2.

The employer says 'he can not pay more. The matter Is taken up by a compulsory court of arbitration. Suppose the court days the men must 'take the $1.80. How can this 'be enforced? Say there are 5000 employes. Who can make them work? The constable, the sheriff, the yodse comltatua, military forces may All be called out, but none, can make 'them work.

The Hesperian entraps Itself.

It says that Mr. Culberson gives his views "of how the silver declaration In the platform should be carried out." There is not one word in the platform that justifies the loose and precipitous method suggested by Mr. Culberson. The silver plank In the platform was framed and adopted to prevent the very thing that he approveu. He says: "I believe the parity of the two metals may be maintained and am therefore in the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver without discrimination at the present ratio of 1G to 1." If the party which selected Mr.

Culbevson as a candidate held this way why did suprRest anything Ilka "safeguards of legislation" or "International agreement?" The Hesperian will please answer. Mr. Culbereon holds that no safeguards of legislation are nreossary, no I a i a agreement required, that the mints should be flung wldo open and thn world flooded with light dollars just like those which made the repeal of the Sherman sliver chase law and the adoption uf plunk In the platform necessary. If Mr. Cul- borson is right then the silver plank of the democratic platform Is merely a uscl-ess force.

It moans i under his remarkable eagerness to take off ilia bridle. The platform clearly contem- plutt-E that uf llm-tf (hinga must be done to prot'cct the from an overdose of cheap silver, First, the silver In a dollar must be Increased so as tr a It In Intrinsic and exchangeable value with a (fold dollar, or second, adjusted by International ngiioe- rner.t, or third, safeguards of legislation. Mr. rulherpon imya no a i whatever to any of these conditions. The Xows believes that these "ondltlons $1.80 or not wi him to do so.

cheaper to do this directly than through the cumbersome machinery of compulyory arbitration. The workman would be a slave under oompulnory arbitration. He lias little freedom of contract now. Jle must submit to the ruling prices. But compulsory arbitration will destroy what little 1...

It will establish the prices at which he can sell the only commodity he possesses--'his labor. He must accept work all, If the court tells so, even if the actual cost of living Is $2. On whatever side we look, compulsory arbitration means cramped Industry and enslaved labor. There maj' bo some change In the developments, but I do not know It now.

comment and discussion have been made upon the report a few days ago relative to the escapades of Hon. Miles Crowley a resident of Boston, Mans. A great many reports have been put In circulation to the effect that since air. Crowley does not deny the charges made against him immediate action should be' taken by the democratic party of the Tenth congressional district, for which Mr. Crowley Is a him to withdraw from the race and permit a worthier man to be named.

Under the light of existing circumstances the News correspondent called upon' and interviewed Hon. J. C. chairman of tho Tenth district, relative to the status of Mr. Crowley, and whether or not any requests had been made, or whether he would take action In the matter.

He stated that no requests had been made upon him concerning Mr. Crowley and his candidacy, and so far as he personally Is concerned he believes Crowley's chances for election are good. He has heard of the charges made against Mr. Crowlev, but believes that they ore for no" other purpose than political buncombe, arid that eventually they will react as a roarback on the parties who perpetrated them.

Crowley's chances have not been damaged. ROSENTHAL AT WAELDER. "Waelder, Gonzales Oct. A. J.

financial review to-morrow will say: Dullness and purely professional trading have again been the marked features of the week's KpeuulajJon. The difference between t'he market and that of the past six weeks has been that a more discouraged tone made Itself apparent In certain stocks which have hitherto resisted bearish manipulation. Operators for an advance have parted with their holdings. It can not be said that this movement assumed the form of an equal liquidation. The short Interests seem to have been considerably reduced, owing to the ability of the bears to cover a portion of their outstanding contracts.

Tlhe disturbing Influences have been the fear of gold shipments. Induced by the rise of foreign exchange to a level which would i a permit gold exports to Germany without any loss to bunkers making them. No engagements of specie, however, were announced, and on this fact a rally was created on Thursday and Friday, due to covering on short contracts by the room traders. London It would seem, had a share In creating this 'eellntt, unfavorable vlewn coming from that side regarding financial conditions liere. although sales of stock on London account were not particularly larfe and did not have groat effect upon the market.

Ihe movement, such as it was, was mainly In the railroad stock list, the granger Kliares being also affected to some ex. he unfavorable earnings now ex- nibited may be directly attributed to the heavy world's fair traffic of the corresponding period a year ago. The Industrial share list, as usual, has furnished the largest share of speculative Interest. Sugar. In particular, experienced a decline which carried the price to the lowest figure reached since the present decrease of the stock began.
