cit (the turiff) must be extensively

of our tariff the interests of American
labor engaged in manufacture should be
carefully considered, as well as the
preservation Of our manufacturers. It
may be called protection, or by any
other name. but relief from the hard
ships and dangers of our present tariff
laws, should be devised with especial
precaution against imperiling the exist

"The difficulty attending wise and
fair revision of our tariff laws is not

and especially a broad and nation al
contemplation of the subject, and a
patriotic disregard of such local and
selfish claims as are unreasonable and
reckless of the welfare of the entire
country. /. .-.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
A DISTRICT FAIR.

What is to hinder Elko county from
organizing District Fair and giving an
exhibition of the various resources of
our county sometime during the coming
Autumn? Our agricultural resources
are equal, If not superior, to those of
ahy county in the State, our stock in
terests nre magnificent, embracing some
of the finest specimens of cattle, horses
ind sheep TO be found on the Pacific
Coast, while our mineral resources are
lapidly taking leading position, and
all would receive additional encourage
n,ent by the organization of an exhibit
ton where q friendly rivalry would lead
10 still further efforts to excel in the
various industries and enterprises in
which our people are engaged.
An Act approved March z, 1885 di-
vides the State into five Agricultural
Districts, of which Elko county consti-
tutes the fourth district. Section 2 of
the above Act provides that '.Any City
or more persons representing majority
of the COUNTIES within any one of the
districts constituted may form ON asso-
citation for the improvement of the ma
,turinl Industries within such district"
Such Association, when formed, shall
Lave power to contract and be contract
ed with, to sue and be sued, to have a
conmon seal and to purchase ana hold
real estate together with such buildings
and other improvements as may be
erected thereon, and may sell, Lease or
dispose Of the same at pleasure. l. The
said real estate shall be used for the
purpose Of holding exhibitions Of horses,
cattle, and other stock, of the agricul-
tural, horticultural, mechanical, manu-
featuring and other domestic products
of such district with a view to the i'm
provement of all the industries in the
same.
An Act approved March 3. 1887 pro-
vides as follows: "For the purpose of
aiding each District Agricultural Asso-
citation IN this State, which may here.
after be organic I'd under the, laws OF
this State, and which shall hereafter nm.
nuaIly hold within its district fair for
exhibition, in successfully carrying out
the purposes for which, it has, been or

moneys iu the General Fund OF the State

propriated. g e. -
BY our inaotion we missed the bene-
fits OF the appropriation Inst year but
with prompt and united action ON the
part of our people it is not too late to
secure the $1,000 for this year, and we
trust that an effort will be made to or
ganize for fur in 1883 which will be
credit to our county and an incentive to
the fostering OF her various resources.
