TARIFF REFORM.

ex-governor Stanard, of Mis-
souri,, one of the most prominent
Republicans of that, state and a
leading miller of st. Louis has en-
rolled himself in the ranks of the
tariff reformers, declaring that
the true course for this country is
midway between free-trade and
protection. If there is any middle
ground to be found in revenue
tarff Gen. Stanard may be counted
as a Democraton the tariff issue.
1t is reported that he is willing to
go great deal further than the
Morrison billin getting away from
a protective tariff, arranged as the
existing tariff now is solely on a
basis of protection. As the BAN
NER has frequently remarked the
tariff question is a complicated
one, and opinions in regard to it
are based almost wholly on self
interest, or the interests of certain
localities. 1t may be cited as an
instance that the New York Sun
and other influential papers in the
East are almost unanimously in IA
vor Of making no change in the
present tariff; the reason for this
is apparent at a glance. The East
is largely interested in manufac-
turing industries and the high tariff
prevents foreign manufactures
from sending their wares to this
country to come in competition
with our home goods. Louisiana
being largely engaged in the pro-
duction ofsugar wants high tariff
on that article to prevent competi-
tion from Cuba, Mexico and the
West Indies, where sugar can be
produced cheaper than in this
country. West Texas being large
Iy engaged in the production of
wool wants a high tariff kept on
wool and wooden goods, while Cali
fornia produces raisins and other
fruits she wants a high tariff on
foreign fruits and so on through
the entire list Unprotected articles.
The tariff to be just should be so
as TO be of the greatest
good TO the greatest number irres-
pectlve of any particular interest,
and to so adjust it is the difficult
problem that is now before con-
gress.

WHEN the war closed Ataseosa,
was a frontier county. 1t was 20
miles between houses. Here is
what it is now according to the
Pleasanton Monitor:
From the assessor Smith we
learn that the total valuation OF
property in Atascosa will foot up
about s2,5Oo,0OO. There are about
$4,000 head of cattle in the county
over 1000 children within scholas-
tic age. A pretty good showing
both for the county and assessor.
