Wilson, president of the Democratic League of tho United Stated, was in San Francis co recontly and the Examiner invited him to give its readers a short article on tho tarill", which ho did, and among Other things said : Hamilton said that a pros perous commerce is perceived and ac knowledged by all enlightened states men to be the most useful, as well as tho most productive, source of national wealth. The high-tariir men of today teach that foreign commerce is a great menace to our national welfare and must therefore bo kept in tho rigorous fetters of our own laws. Hamilton said that commerce vivifies and invig orates all channels of industry and makes them How with greater activity and copiousness, and as commerce nourishes land rises in value. Our high-Lurid' men say, not in words, to bo sum, but in deeds, that it i better to have tho currents of industry settle into those stagnant pools called trusts than to huvo them vivified and invig orated by foreign trade. As a pooplo who produce, and will bo capable of producing for indefinite ages, a great surplus of agricultural and manufact ured products, wo must find profitable foreign markets for that surplus, or wo must invent some device whereby wo can throttle production and bring it down to the demand of tho homo mar ket. In such lines of manufacture as are protected by tho tariff and can bo centralized into a few groat corpora tions this device lias been found in tho trust. In agriculture and in some lines of mauiifiicture tho trust cannot bo made effective. Wo have reached tho point as producers whoro we must have commerce or wo will have trusts. Turin" reform aims to give us a profita ble outlet for turpliis products through foreign trade, while protection, especi ally in its latest and most extreme imuiifostation, tho MelCiuloy bill, com pols and encourages tho resort to trusts whereby labor is made dependent upon capital and narrowed in its opportuni ties of employment, and profits are sought through monopoly prices in tho home market rather than through Increasing Bales in the world's markets. I know wo aro always met with a very vigorous denial when we assort that our high tarill' is the nursing mother of trusts, and that wo wore told in the last presidential campaign that freo-trado England was plastered over with trusts, but there is no fact bettor established in 'modern economic histo jy than that trusts .arise everywhere under tho Bheltor of a protective tarill'. It is not true that England was plas tered over with trusts in 1888, or has boon at any other time. 1 made a careful personal investigation of that question myself in 18S0, and 1 speak from tho results of that inquiry. Of courso, where there is or can be a nat ural monopoly, trusts might exist any where, but they owe their oxistenco, us a rule, to artificial monopolies made jxisaiblo or created through tarill'laws. They appeared in Germany almost immediately after tho passage of the high tariff law of 1870, and they have sprung up in this country as the direct result, in most cases, of that opportu nity for the control of the home mar ket by groat combinations, protected through our tarill'laws from tho inter ference of foreign competition, KDITOUIAl. tfOTUS.

It provides that all alien owners must sell their land within live years or become citizens of tho United States. In case they fail to do either, their lands will bo sold, and after pay ment of costs the proceeds will bo de posited in the state treasury subject to tho order of tho alien owners. The large amount of land this righteous law will put on the market will be as tonishing to those who have not given tho matter much attention. Ono man alone, Lord Scully, owns about 01,000 acres of land in Kansas. Ik tiii-: alleged editor of tho Scout know enough to tell a lie, ho would probably commence something like this: "Tho Farmers' Alliance have chosen tho Scout as their official or gan." Wo will give tho editor of tho Scout a free v.ph to the World's Fair and back, if ho can show any allianco record for this statement moro than can bo shown by tho Chronicle or any other newspaper that will publish alli ance correspondence if requested to do so. Chronicle. It tho wind bag of tho Chronicle know enough to Ml the truth ho would not havo misquoted our statement in tho above manner. What we said was that "the allianco had chosen Thk Scout as their official organ in this city," which is a fact. Tin: groat tariff reformer, Roger Q. Mills, is at Washington and will re main two or three months engaged in tho preparation of a tariff compendi um. To a reporter ho unbosomed himself, and said that ho was going to bo tho next speaker. Speaking of tho work of tho next congress, Mills said : "Wo will havo a dig at the tariff and want a tarill' only for revenue. Coal, ores, wool and tin-plate will go on tho froo list, and other changes that tho domoeratic party has wanted for years will bo made. It will institute and maintain with England closer trade relations, and that will bo moro profit able for tho manufacturers and fanner. Wo want reciprocity with countries of importance rather than with miserable little South American provinces. Tho interest of our party in tariff reform has never lesboned. Wo aro only waiting for an opportunity to assert ourselves. It is a topic dear to demo crats." "Cleveland i in tho lead for presidential favors down in my state," added Mr. Mills. "Tho now party won't injure us any. After wo give thorn a thrashing, that i if thoy over get in tho field, thoy will not troublo any poison." Ex. At Tin: last meeting of tho county commissioners an order was made and tho contract let for repairing tho court house and building two additional jury rooms. At tho time wo did not think much about tho mutter, but sinco havo been wondering where tho extra rooms wore to bo built. Wo havo in vestigated tho matter and find that tho contract calls for ono room up stairs and ono down in the front of tho building, and that in order to make room for theso two extra rooms it will bo necessary to take out ono sot of stairways, leaving only ono ontranco to tho corridor up stairs. This is a very unwise move on tho part of tho commissioners, ono of whom wo learn was opposed to it altogether, and an other was not entirely satisfied with it, but it booins they woro talked into making an oidor of this kind partially, if not wholly, against their will. It was evident to thorn that additional rooms were necessary to tho building, but one of the commissioners was de cidedly opposed to building a brick addition at the roar of the building, but suggested tho improvement as spoken of nbovo, which was finally consented to by the othors. It would bo far bettor not to make any improve niont m tho way of rooms, or oven construct a wooden building adjoining tho court house to bo used as an ollice or jury room, than to mutilate and spoil the building as it now "proposud. It would eoit no more and look much bettor. One sot of the stairways takon out and two small rooms built in the oortJ"" of tho front will not only spoil tho look of the building, but will uuktf U10 upper rooms very inconven ient of HCotMi. Tho corridors of tho iourl hoiiMt ant none to largo now. It would not havo awl nuiuli more to ha ' l"Ht an addition to tha baok of On, building iu first propooud. It would then bo a credit to tho county, but as it is they arc only making bad enough worse, and wo do not see why two of tho commissioners should yield to the demands of one. We havo al ready heard a number of tho promi nent citizens of tho valley denounce any such action and say they would much rather see the building stand as it is than to have it spoilt in this way. Thk wind b ig says we aro a repub lican and must, if honest, express our true political convictions. This wo havo always done and will continue to do. llccauso we voted the republican ticket four or five years aga it is no reason why wo should always continue to do so, and while space is given tho alliance, or any other party, m which to express their views, wo will havo no hesitancy in expressing our own. Thk Scout is bound to no party, but so long as the two great political par ties remain as they are, we will be found supporting the national demo cratic ticket. We believe tho princi ples of tariff reform as advocated by Cleveland and tho democratic party are right, and if carried into effect would result in the most good to tho greatest number. Grover Cleveland is tho heart and soul of tho democratic party. Ho received our vote in 1888 and if nominated will receive our sup port and vote in 1802. STARKEY STRIKES.
