abandonment of every boot micar
ractory in the country,' Senator Mc
Enery of Louisiana cut loose from
the recognized principles of the dem
ocratic party and came out flat-footed
for protection. Senator Bristow, tho
new republican from Kansas, made
an equally great sensation when he
Btrongly advocated a material reduc
tion in the sugar tax, as the only way
of 'preventing graft and greed on the
part of the trust.' Close students of
affairs political at tho national capital
are tonight pointing out that the
present trend of events means noth
ing less than a new political nlien-
ment and that the birth of a national
party, which will bo neither repub
lican nor democratic, but a combina
tion of both, is only the matter of a
short time. In support of this argu
ment they lay Btress upon the declar
ation of Senator McEnery that 'there
is a great change of sentiment going
on In the south in relation to pro
tection' and to the attitude of Sen
ator Bristow and other members of
the republican side of the senate, who
repeatedly cast their votes in favor
of free trade during the prcseit tariff

BEANS
at SAN BENITO, TEXAS
in the Valley of the Lower Rio Grande
will bring the farmer much larger returns than Corn, Wheat, Oats or Cotton
will bring tho farmers In regions farther north.
Wo mean GREEN BEANS, or. SNAP BEANS. There is a reason for this.
It Is that wo can, in tho Lower Rio Grande Valley, raise beans in mid-winter
at a time when they will not grow in any other section of tho United States.
This Is because wo aro farthor south than any other part of the country, have
the mildest and most equable climate, and are tho nearest immune from frost.
Who, in tho north, would not pay well for tho privilege of eating tender
and delicious SNAP BEANS fresh from tho fields In Decomber, January,
Fobruary, March or April?
At San Benito it requires very little effort to mature and harvest snap
beans and eight weeks from tho timo tho seed is planted the crop should
bo harvested and sold.
During the winter months the demand for snap beans is practically un
limited and they aro hurried north by express on overy train leaving the
Lower Rio Grando Valley.
Tho price is always good, ranging from $1.00 to ?1.75 per bushel.
Since 125 bushels to tho acre is not considered an exceptional yield, and
sinco tho expense of raising them is very small it is plain that the profits
are very largo. There are farmers in this valley who havo more than paid
for their land with one crop of snap beans.
