We would be pleased to have some of our populistic and silver standard ex changes explain to us why a Mexican dollar is worth only 55 cents in the United States. There is no use theorizing on the use of the pardoning power invested in the governors of states. If it is right the jury system is wrong aud vice versa. Wm. Seott should either have been hung, acquitted or allowed to serve out ids time. McMinnville has progressed in the culture of fruit during the past three years and within a short time thous ands of trees will be bearing. A horti cultural society, including all the or- cbardlsts of this vicinity, would be of vast benefit to tho industry. The fruit raisers should agitate and organize. Some people are so peculiar as to think that the prospective change in the tariff law by the democratic con gress, whereby the duty on wool will be reduced or removed entirely, has caused the present financial depression. The same thing has, no doubt, caused the shortage in the fruit crop and the increase in hop lice. Notwithstanding the great precau tions taken topevent fire in the World's fair grounds the cold storage building was burned Monday, and thousands ot dollars and twenty lives were de stroyed. These great buildings are nothing lint tinder and an uncontrolla ble tire within the grounds of the fair would bring about a loss of life hereto fore unequaled by any catastrophe, earthquakes and Hoods not excepted. The management should be very care ful. Free raw material and fewer tariff re strictions te the United States does not mean our surrender to the, British manufacturer. It means that the American manufacturer will compete in all the markets of tlie world with the Englishman and through tlie American ability to do more work in a day, witli lætter machinery, drive him out. Commercial freedom is necessary to commercial success. England rec ognized this years ago. it is now dawn lug upon the United States. A POOR ARGUMENT FOR SILVER. WILL IT COME?
