of oatmeal tor 1890 were mora than ten
tlmee aa heavy as tSe Imports, the figures
being: Imports, 3,371,106 pounds; export,
35,460,321 pound. It would tax even the
ingenuity of McKlnley to demonstrate the
necessity of a tariff for the protection of
manufacturers who thus export more than
ten time a mueh as It Imported of theit

Governor Hogg, of Texas, appesr to
have discovered a jewel In the Hon,
Horace Chilton, the young democrat
whom he appointed to the senatorial va
cancy made by the resignation ol Mr
Reagan. In a speech at Tyler the other
day Senator Chtlton used the following
strong language In regard to the tub-
treasury tcheme;
"Concerning thlt scheme, my own duty
Is plain. The constitution of my country
It against It. The platform of the demo
cratic party It against It, Economy, bus
iness judgment,good old cornfield common
tense.lhe experience of the past, the hopes
ol the future, tho unanimous warnings of
our great statesmen, all stand in It way.
It alt these barrlert thould ever be broken
down, If (oily thould ever rule the head
and desperation (old the ballot ol thlt
country, and a trial should be given to that
scheme, our farmers will find that beyond
the depth of their present hardship there
Is a still deeper depth In the misfortunes
ol the condition produced by the collap e
ol the sub-treasury,
"It come now to perplex the counsel
of the people, to divide the organized and
exultant force which in a few year at
most will bring the country back to the
measjre and equity of the plan of the
father where agriculture led all other In
terests In profit, Impotlance and Indepe
pendence. "And It It sa'd that the manager ol thlt
scheme will forte the democratic party to
lend to It the Indorsement of It great name.
In other word, that thry will capture the
democratic party and pervtrt It. This
seems to be the settled policy of the tub
treasury leaders In Texas. Let them try.
The democratic party In Texas hat already
spoken. I believe It wLI speak again In
the tame steady tone ol vigor and resolu
tion. The best trten in Texas, the best
farmer, the best mechanic, th best
merchants, the best representative of
every profession, make up the democratic
party, and when Its voice rise (torn the
schoolhouse and village meetings In the

tremor of uncertainty or retreat Jjut It will

negative a grand and a broad aa Texa
