Autioi.ks of incorporation wore filed
recently at San Francisco of "The

stated the object is to advance the in

is tho first movo in tho interest of his
nomination for president.
Ex-Si:nator Inoalls suys ho pro

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.

Tho Fort Worth Gazette bids Presi
dent llarrixon a hearty welcome, but
begs louyo to add that people in tlat

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.
