He aid in part: We hear it said that the tariff is the n ether of trusts, and that they are the -uiee' of all sorts of evils. W do .ave trusts, -and some of lhni are as bad as they are reprtd, but they are not the i.rduct t .the t.iriff, and if thejr werey the tsr.fT with ite att ndant prtin-rcty and tiusts.

That the tariff Is not resrons.ble for trusts 1 ahawn by the fact that, while they have free trade ln England yet they also have more trusts in that country than In any c-ther. , True are simply th-i feature of our modern business oonc-IWoi.s with respect to which party llius canr.ot be drawn.

Local Dealers Do Not Believe the Story of the Production Re ported from There. (From Dally Sept. 23d ) The following was taken from the telegraph columns of the Portland Or- egonian, of the 2 2d Inst.: "Forest Grove. Sept. 21. D. C. Stew art finished a 10-acre tract of hops yes terday, which yielded him 61,000 pounds, or C100 pound, to the acre." The yield reported being such an extraordinary one, the item was shown to a number of Salem nop buyers yesterday. , ' Win. Brown, one of Salem's best- known dealers, said: "That certainly must be a enletake. I have heard of IVi ton of hop to the acre, which was considered an exceptionally good yield. Washington , county is not the section of country from which an ex tremely targe yield per acre, may be expected, the hop yards, generally be ing on vne upiauu, mm wte quaimy in the growth is excellent. 1 should think that 4300 to 1800 pound, would be a very good yield for Washington county. "I once purchased a lot of hop from a Mr. Pollard, being the output of an eight-acre yard. , and this tract had averaged nearly 1V4 tons to the acre. but I do not think that any such enor mous yleldt ha been produced this year. In this section of the country the Gilbert ft Patterson yard, at'Eola, is considered one of the best produc er this year, the yard having yielded o er 2000 pound per acre, but thi crop was especially well cultivated, and the output I of excellent quality. Other dealers, to whom the dispatch was shown expressed themselves in the same vein, and doubted the truth of the statement. CABINET CHANGES. Few Administration Have Had So Many a that of Mr. McKJnley.1 When William McKlnley became president of the United State on March 4. 1897, John Sherman was ap ex inted secretary of state; Lyman i-J. Gage, ecretary of the treasury; Rus sell A. Alger, secretary of war; John D. Long, secretary of the navy; Cor nelius N. Bliss, secretary of the In terior; James A Gary, poatmaater-gen-era!; Joseph B. McKenna, attorney general, and James Wilson, secretary of agriculture. Eighteen months be fore the next presidential Inaugura tion only three member of the orig inal McKlnley cabinet, Secretaries Gage, dng, and Wi Hon, remain, thr having been change in all the other The number of cabinet change which have occurred in two and a half years, though not unprecedented, ha been unusual. Six cabinet officer nave resigned, either to retire to pri vate, life or to accept other appoint ment at the hand of the president. These Include Secretary of State Sher man, who went out tteoause of ill health, and hi successor. Secretary Day, who accepted a United State judgeship; " Attorney-General McKen na, who accepted a seat on the su preme court bench of the United States; Postmaster-General Gary, Sec retary of the Interior Bliss, and Sec retary Alger of the war department. It Is the general rule as regard cab inet change in American politic that they are most numerous in tne cab inet of a vice president who becomes preaident by the death of the elected president- Tyler, for Instance, pro moted to the presidency by the death of William Henry Harrison had dur ing hi exciting administration four ecretarle of the treasury, five ecre tarie of war, five secretaries of the navy, two postmaater-general. and three attorney-generals. Andrew Johnson had Ui-ee secretaries of war. three secretaries of the Interior, two postmaster-generals, and three attor. ney-general. The most stable of the cabinet office I that of ecretary of the navy, and Jt I usually held by one man only during the course of an ad ministration, the record of the Mc Klnley cabinet being the same in this particular as that of many of it pre decessor. Preaident Pierce had one secretary of t.he navy during his whole term. Buchanan had one, and Pres ident Lincoln had only one. thaugh the operation of the navy department during the administration of Secretary Welle were more extensive than those during any previous administration. President Johnson had one secretary of the navy; President Grant, except for a nrief time at the beginning of hi first term, had one secretary; Preaident Garfield had one. President Arthur one. President Cleveland (first term) one. William C Whitney: Pres ident Harrison one, Benjamin F. Tra cy; President Cleveland one in his second term. Hilary A. Herbert, and Preaident McKlnley ha had on only, and there "are no present. Indication of a change in the secretaryship. The attorney -general, the constitu tional legal adviser to the president. I usually of fixed texture, subject to the fact that an attorney-general be ing by profession a lawyer aspire, very often to a Judicial post, hi ap pointment to which br hie superior, the president, make a vacancy in the office of attorney-generaL Neverthe less, there was only one attorney-general during the whole of the adminis tration of Hayes, there was one only during the administration of Presi dent Arthur from " 1SS5 to 18S9, and there was one only during the admin istration of Preeiident Harrison. Cleveland In hi second term had two attorney-generals, Mr. -Olney. after ward made secretary of state, and Mr. Harmon, appointed to succeed him. It la a peculiarity about the cabinet change during the McKlnley admin istration that though many, 'they have all been harmonious, unaccompanied by personal or political friction, and in every case of an amicable character. CREDITABLE. Valpalralso and Santiago are to be creditable, go-ahead little rttles. For the past few months women have been employed ' ia tramway , conductors in both places, and they .are said to do admirably.
