Some people agree with the Suns opin-
ions about men and things, and some
people don't; but everybody likes to get
hold of the newspaper which is never
dull and never afraid to speak its mind.
Democrats know that for twenty years
the Sun has fought in the front line for
Democratic principles, never wavering or
weakening in its loyalty to the true inter-
ests of the party it serves with fearless in
teligence and disinterested vigor. At
times opinions have differed as to the best
means of accomplishing the common pur-
pose; it is not the Suns fault if it has
seen further into the milestone.
Eighteen hundred and ninety-one will
be great year in American politics, and
everybody should read the Sun.

SILVER, TRADE AND PROTECTION

The fact is, this country needs more
money. 1t is becoming more apparent
daily that congress would have done the
proper thing had it gone little further
with its silver legislation and provided for
the free coinage of that metal. Only a
few weeks ago there was stringency of
money in the eastern financial centers,
and again to-day is heard the same cry,
despite the efforts of the treasury depart
ment to keep the volume Of currency
available for the people up to the standard
by purchasing bonds at high premiums.
One very probable cause of this strin-
gency is the enormous growth the bust
ness of the country is showing at this
time. If the commercial reports are true.
and there is no reason to doubt
them, the commercial advance of
the country is now more rapid
than ever before. From every point

Missouri has most excellent law con-
corning the taxation of express COM
panies, and New Mexico is likely to have
something of the sort before the winter is
over. High prices constitute the rule
with express companies in this country
and they ought not to object to paying a
fair proportion OF the taxes. In Missouri
tax of So is levied for every 500 earned
by the express companies in the state
and the law also provides for annual re-
ports by the companies to the state auditor
showing the business done during the
year.

TALES OF terrible distress are coming
from western Ireland. The Sisters of
Mercy have become almoners for the dis
tribution of the relief funds, and the En-
glish government wisely contemplates
the construction of railway in order that
deserving Irish laborers may have en-
ployment through the winter and thus
keep their families from starving. This
is Balfour's idea and it is the most hui
name thing that England has undertaken
for Ireland in many day.

that they possessed the assembly.
They did have possession of the senate.
The record shows however that they
are unable to organize the house.
This arrangement of districts was
made in direct violation of the consti-
tuition of the State of Iowa, and is a
crying shame because it involves utter
lawlessness. The requirement of the
fundamental law is that the division of
districts shall be made of nearly equal
population, the fairness of which is
obvious. AS the Times correspondence
shows the division was made merely
with an eye to party advantage. Thus
in nine districts returning Democrats
to the assembly the population is
250,942, whereas in nine districts re-
turning Republicans the population is
but 81 ,034. When the districting was
made its manifest unfairness staggered
even partisan Republicanism, and to
secure the passage of the bill, against
which some fair-minded and law-abid-
ing Republicans protested, required the
authority of the caucus.
The Democrats of Iowa are justified
under this showing in prolonging the
deadlock in the house even at the ex-
pense of preventing the inauguration
of the governor-elect. 1t is well that
the party scoundrelism which perpe-
trated so villainous a gerrymander
should be fully exposed to the electors
of the State. Through whole gen.
Grafton the Republicans of Iowa have
held the whip handle and applied the
lash. Let attention be fully directed
to their iniquitous methods by the pro-
longation of the deadlock. Chicago

A Farmer States the Case.

AS some inquiry is being made by
farmers through the medium of your
columns in regard to the tariff on wool
and its benefits to farmers, permit me,
as farmer, to state the facts as far as
/ am concerned and ask the question
how ! am benefited and how do / know
it.
In the wool shearing season l shear
my sheep with shears manufactured
from steel taxed one way and protected
the other tie up my wool with
Irvine taxed one way and protected the
other, that is, taxed to the farmer and
protected to the manufacturer. take
my wool to Ionia and call on Mr..
Cooper or Mr.. Page, take off my hat
and ask Mr.. Cooper, "What do you
pay for wool ?" He says l am buying
for New England factory and am
authorized to pay from twenty-five to
thirty cents, according to quality"
| sell my wool at his figure, not mine.
In the fall | 60 down to Ionia with my
wool money and must buy some blank
cts and clothing for winter. l ask
Mr.. Cooper: "What do you charge
for those blankets and how much
yard for that cloth 7" Mr.. Cooper
says: 81 purchased those blankets
and that cloth direct from the factory
(perhaps made from my wool sold him
in the spring.) That blanket is worth
$3.50 and this cloth is worth 81 per
yard. / pay him his price.
Now it strikes me that the manufac-
turer has, through Mr.. Cooper, fixed
the price on my wool and also OH his
cloth and blanket. Now | would like
to know what have had to say about
it except to sell and buy at the man.

be informed how the tariff on wool

Governor Buckner on Trusts.

Governor Buckner's biennial mes
sage was read in both Houses of the
Kentucky Legislature on Monday
He thus pointedly expressed himself
on the subjects of trusts: your at
tention is invited to the oppression re-
sulting to the people from combinations
of capital under the name of trusts.
Fostered as they are by vicious leg
islation of the general government,
which forbids the masses of the people
to seek the markets of the world,
either for an advantageous sale of their
commodities or the economical pur-
chase of their supplies, resulting, as
such partial legislation must necessar-
lily do, in the rapid concentration of
capital in the hands of the favored few
at the expense of those whose industry
earns it, it has become necessary for
the legislative department of the State
government to exhaust its constitutions
al power to protect the people from the
insupportable ex tortions resulting from
these hurtful combinations. These
trusts assume various DISCUSSES, but
they have the common object of en-
HANGING the price of articles of prime
necessity to the people, and at the
same time of reducing the price of the
commodities which the producer is for
ced to sell in order to provide for the
necessities of those who are dependent
upon him. Among other methods
adopted, corporations from other States
have leased productive oil fields, not
for the sake of developing them, but
for purpose of preventing their de-
velopment. All such combinations,
under whatever disguise they appear,
are opposed to public policy and in
imical to the best interests of the State.
They are actuated by spirit of greed
as injurious to the interests of society
and as regardless of its rights as an
organized system of brigandage and
merit to be visited by the severest pen
alties. 1t will be the pleasing duty of
1he Executive to unite with the Gen.
eral Assembly in their patriotic pur-
pose to repress the extravagant de-
mands of individual greed to grow fat
at the expense of the public; to keep
within bounds the constant epcoach-
ments of corporate power, and to en-
act legislation which, granting exclu-
sive privileges to none will be just
alike to every element of society. By
such just measure alone can public
welfare be promoted, and the liberties
of free public maintained"

been usually effective, especially when
accompanied by an increase in the
duty on the particular product the re-
calcitrant was engaged in manufacture
ing. But it has lost its charms. The
New Highlander has had his eyes open
ed. He sees that increasing the duty
will no longer help him but will only
increase the advantage his western
competitor has over run him. He
wants-he must have-free raw ma
terials. And while he would still like
to be called protectionist he will even
run the risk of losing his title to that
distinction if 1t becomes a question be-
tween that and losing his business.
The situation is full of embarrass-
ment for the party in control of Con-
gress, and it is doubtful if the Speaker,
with all his arbitrary exercise of pow.
er, will be wholly able to relieve the
party.

0iling the Waves.

The practical value of pouring lit
eral oil upon actually troubled waters
has again beeu demonstrated at sea by
the Yorktown. During her recent
voyage from Boston to Lisbon the
Yorktown experienced very violent
weather, and it was decided to try the
soothing effect of oil on the waves.
One of the officers thus describes the
experiment and its success:
We had several large bags filled
with oakum, saturated with oil, over
the side, and from time to time little
oil was poured through the weather
scuppers. 1t was a grand sight to see
the oil spread out to an enthusiastically
thin film over the water, and then these
high seas would gather extra strength
and come towards the ship, towering
far above her, and as they reached the
limit of the oil they dissipated into a
rolling swell, which lifted the ship up
and then rolled away to leeward.
This is not by any means the first
time in recent years when the saving
virtues of oil thus used have been
shown. The showing has been so fire.
quently made indeed that IL seems TO
be high time for general recognition
of the facts and for provision in mara
time law for action in accordance with
them. Well established as the facts
now are vessels might very properly
be required to carry the necessary
means and appliances for oiling the
troubled seas and the fact that vessels
are so supplied should be taken account
of in the insurance.
1t is singular that this notion of OIL
ing the sea should have been for so
many years regarded as mere figure
of speech instead of a practical device.
The discovery is calculated to strength
en- our confidence in Solomon's say
ing that there is nothing new under
the sun.

We have expected it ever since lin
mines were discovered in Dakota. Tin
has always been on the free list on the
ground that there was none of it in
this country. The American owners
of the Dakota tin mines have now
formally filed their claim for protection.
We say the American owners advised
ly for these mines have been sold in
England and while the ownership is
nominally in American companies it
is really in England capitalists. The
object OF the duty will be to raise the
price of block tin and we have no
doubt that this object will be attained,
so that the immediate result Of the
discovery of new metal in this
country will be that it will cost us
more than it did when we had to bring
it from the other side of the world.
We are OF course informed, that the
Dakota tin miners gets2. 90 aday while
the miners in Cornwall get rs cents,
and we presume that the miners ofthe
Straits settlements work for nothing
and board themselves. But we learn
ed last summer from the New York
Tribune that copper mined in Montana
by men who got $3.50 day was car
ried all the way to London and there
old for cent pound less than the
Spanish copper mined by men who got
80 cents day could be sold for
