Vk hnven't much of n mivy to fight Italy with, but if the American caglo emits ono of his fiercest slirioks the organ grindoie will ha frightoncd out of sevon years grovth. TUi: La Grando Gazette is tanking no friends by imbibing Mich abuse no hnu recently appeared in Unit paper in rogitrd to our city marshal, over the -signature of "llobrow Citizen." Thk roadleton Tribune has clmnged bunds again and is now edited by Stephen A. Lowell. The first num ber undortho new management ar rived Inst weolc and is much unproved, both in matter of reading and general mako-up. Autioi.ks of incorporation wore filed recently at San Francisco of "The Elaine Legion of the Pacific." It is stated the object is to advance the in terests of tho republican party, but it is tho first movo in tho interest of his nomination for president. Ex-Si:nator Inoalls suys ho pro poses to devote his attention to malt ing money by limiting. Wo trust that ho will succeed ; but whether ho does or not ho will bo bettor occupied than in tniiking money out of the farmers by exacting usurious rates of interes for money loaned upon mortgage, as ho is credited with having done for years. Tkxas is a big stale and n hospitable ono, but it alco has an invinoiblo prcd" judico-in favor of the democratic party. Tho Fort Worth Gazette bids Presi dent llarrixon a hearty welcome, but begs louyo to add that people in tlat neck o' tho woods will all bo dropping their ballots in 1892 for u presidential candidate who believes in tariff for rcvonuo only. Akothkk outrage has boon perpe trated on the taxpayers of this oily by tho council. Last week two more or dinances wero passed and published in tho Republican at an expense of Sf7.fi0 just $:i.-18 more than it wuld havo cost to have them published in Tin: Scout, whore they properly be long. Oh, yes, this is a progressive council, working for tho host interests of tho town in a horn. Oim artiolo last week, in which wo intimated that certain citizens hole wore working to tho detriment of tho growth of tho town, seems to hnvo oroated considerable ill fooling among u fow of our citizens. Ono individual, in particular, seems to take tho whole matter on himself and invaded our sanctum last Saturday for tho purpose of relieving himself of n lot of advice, intended for our benefit, and further forbid tic again publishing such an artiolo. There is nothing mean about us, 1m V we will state for tho banotit of liim and all others that Tun Scout will oontinuo, us in tho past, to vonti lato anything of a public nature that to tijijloofi not ecein right, without fpnr or favor. Tim sunso of tho democratic party 60ms to bo that tho campaign of 1892 will bo fought almost entirely on tho tariff issue. Col. Henry Watterson, in mi intorviow tolographed from Galves ton, says ! 1 take it for granted that wo shall lmvo omo silver legislation, but 1 have no idea that tho democratic party can bo lured into the perpetration of as great a blttndor as tho advancement of silver to tho first place in tho next campaign and the consequent obscura tion of tho tariff" issuo. On this last tho party has fully como to a porfect agreement. This teems to bo tho opinion of tho leading democrats throughout tho country. Tim silver question is a hoc ondary otmiiidoration. The tariff issue is of more iinortneo to the ieph and it now look hs though the cam paign for 1892 will bo opened on the sumo linos of 1888. In tho vet, yhqro tho silver queatiou seems to havo its atrougtttt ndvocnUt, a i stofltUly dying away and jh opu- at In coming convinced that the tariff is of more importance than anything el- j in politUs. THE IWItMHltS' AliMANCK. This now organization seems to be rapidly growing in favor throughout tho entire country, and will no doubt "cut quite a figure" at the next presi dential election. So far there is nothing indicative of a political movement on tho part of tho alliance, but it is plain to bo seen they are opposed to a tariff for more thftn revenue only, and are advocating many good principles, the most of which arc in accord with those of the democracy. For this reason wo can not see why any democrat should join tho alliance, but there are many good reasons for republican farmers joining, for well they know tho tariff on arti cles of daily consumption is slowly grinding thorn down, and they have taken this means to relieve themselves of the burden by joining tho nllinncc. As ovidenco of this fact, we call atten tion "to tho last November election. There was a unity of action on the part of tho farmers throughout many of tho eastern states. Why was this so? Tho farmers are beginning awaken to tne Munition oi athurs and have given the great political question an unusual amount of thought and attention. They cannot help but see that tho present system of complicated taxation laws and high tariff duties throws the bulk of tho expense of the government upon their shoulders. Tho principles advocated by Clove land, if carried out, would result in tho same benefit, in most instances, as thoHo advocated by tho alliance While there is no doubt that tho alii unco is growing very rapidly, they cannot expect to come in power for number of years, if at all. Therefore tho farmers need not expect relief for, somo time, unless tho democratic par ty comos in power at tho noxt election in which event the most important measures advocated by tho alliance will be carried out. While we are in sympathy to a great extent with the alliance, and think much good would result to tho farmers through tho prin ciples and doctrines of that organiza lion, we havo great faith in Cleveland and tho principles advocated by him will surely bring about tho same good results. Wo wore present at tho organization of tho county alliance in this citv last week and aro pleased to nolo tho in tcrest manifested by tho many farmers present, and also amused at tho utter ances of somo of them. While it is generally understood that the alliance is an organization that knows no party, no soonor wero two ollicors, formerly of tho snmo political parly, elected, than ono niomber from tho rural dis tricts raised a "kick" and thought tho officers should bo more equally divided This Bamo gentleman, when tho letter from Tin: Scout was read, offering tho alliance tho free uso of two columns of space in which to present its views, to bo controlled and edited by somo member of tho alliance, arose to onquiro of "tho past record of Thk Scout," and wanted to know whether it was in sympathy with tho cause or not. Such men aro of no bonofit to any party and wo aro in hopes tho alliance is not composed of many such num. If it is it will never stand, and will slion moot tho samo fate as tho grange Tm: Scout is an independent paper and proffered tho spaco for tho bonofit of tho alliance tho samo as it would to any othor organization. It matters not whether wo favorod their move ment or hot, and it matters not to us whether they niako uso of our columns or not. Mr. Swinohart, of tho Elgin Recorder, inado a similar oiler, but 13. S. MoCoinas, of tho La Grando Chron icle, who claims to bo running "tho only democratic paper in tho county," said ho would give tho alliance tjio uso of all of his pnpor and "do tho editing himeolf." It would seem from this that "thp only domooratio paper in tho county" has gono back on tho party ontirely and will horoaftor allllinte with tho alliance This is supposed to bo a stunner tp tho democracy. So far as wo aro concerned, independently, wo aro not uditing a p'apor for tho alliance, democracy, or any othor party, but fully accord all of them space in our columns. Our editorial viowb are our own. Aftor considerable discussion in rogard to tho propositions, it was final ly deoided, after a vote of thanks being oxtondod to tho editors for their genor ous oil'or, to loavo tho matter till tho noxt mooting. Tho column of Thk Scout tuo al ways open fur tho diicti8iou of m a Iters i of public intercut and tho nolilicul iatuc of the day, but nt tho same lime we will uhv no hosHnney in express ing our own views and at this time, IhIu-ui:;; that tho tariff is tax and th it tli. piiiu ipU-s advocated by Cleve land and the democracy are right, we cannot do otherwise than favor them, I hi- alto u number of the principles of 1 the alliance. There seems to bo no differenco between these two organiza tions on tho tariff and many other im portant questions. The alliance has declared in favor of tho free and un limited coinage of silver, a question which Cleveland has taken a bold stand against. This is a question on which both great political parties aro divided, and if we are to judge by tho reports from all over tho country, the advocates of this measure arc growing less every day. Tho only strength the agitation for free coinage ever had was derived from tho action of men who, having silver to sell, were directly in terested in making the public pay a large price for it, upon men whom they could persuade that free coinage will make it easier to pay their debts. 'Timidity is passing away. There have always been a great many men, m congress and out of it, who believed tho free coinage movement to bo base! upon most injurious false principles and who yet dared not set themselves against something that bore tho ap pearance of a popular movement. As toon as the facts are faced it is discov ered that tho demand for free silver is a well subsidized and cnrefully nursed scheme, tho promoters of which nro more noiny than numerous. It is seen that there is strong opposition to free coinage in both the great parties and in every part of tho country Even in the "silver states," so called, there aro many men who not only see and admit privately that free coinage would inflict great injury upon tho land, but who do not believe that it would benefit their own section or even the owners, of silver mines. Tho two per cent land loan scheme is another measure that we believe the alliance favors to a great extent Such a scheme, by which ono class of citizens can borrow money of tho gov ernment at a low rate of interest, to the exclusion of everybody else, is in consistent and can never expect to scuuie tho united endorsement of the alliance. Tho government has no money in its possession, that in measure did not come out of tho pock ets of tho farmers; and it is not law to loan it back, but legislation to keep the money in their pockets is what will benefit them and the country. Wo cannot hopo for any permanent lelief to tho country until a tarifl' re form measure, even more liberal than tho Mills 'bill, is carried through con gress. It will not come from tho "republican side of the chamber," and it is in tho democracy that tho hopes of tho people aro centered. It will como. Tho battle of ideas tho ideas of hate and tariff robbery and that of good will and free trade will close with tho triumph of right, for the right will triumph though it battle with wrong through ages. Eastern journals are calling atten tion to Major Mclvinley's inconsisten cy. At Toledo, on 1 ebruary xzlli, ho accused Cleveland of "dishonoring one of our precious metals," of "discredit ing silver" and endeavoring to stop tho coinago of silver dollars. At Boston, six weeks later, ho sneered at the de mand for "tho freo unlimited coinago kof silver" as dangerous. At Toledo ho was a silver man ; at Boston ho was a gold bug. COVE CULLINQs.
