Congressman William L. 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,

TliK bill prohibiting aliens from
owning lands in Kansas is now a law
of tho state. 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.
