Forelcn Crit,cIms of the BIN.

The criticisms of the bill that have come to
us from foreign sources may we'll be rejected
for repugnancy. If these critics really believe
that the adoption by us of n freetrade policy,
or of tariff rates having reference solely to
revenue, would diminish tho participation
Cf their own countries in the COM
meroe OF the world their advocacy and the
promotion by speech and other forms Of
organized effort of thi movement among our
people is n rare exhibition OF unselnshness in
trade. And on tie other hand, II they sincerely
believe that the adoption of a protective tariff
policy by this country inures to their profit and
our hurt. 1t is noticeably strange that they
should lead the outcry against the authors OF a
policy so helpful TO their countrymen and crown
with their favor those who would snatch from
them a substantial share OF a trade with other
lands already inadequate to their neces stiles.
There is no disposition among any OF our peo-
pie to promote prohibitory legislation. Our
policies are adopted not to the hurt Of others,
but to secure for ourselves those advantages
that fairly grow out of our favored position as a
nation. Our form OF government, with its incl
dent of universal suffrage. makes IL imperative
that we shall save our working people from the
ngtations and distresses which scant work and
wages that leave no margin for comfort always
IN rOUani
that our markets are open to friendly CONNER
cial exchanges OF enormous value to other great
powers.

THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Farmers Prospering.

The report OF the Secretary OF Agriculture de-
serves especial attention in view Of the fact
that the year has been marked in very un-
among the farmers looking TO an increase Ia
that the efforts of the Department have been
intelligently and zealously devoted to the pro-
motion OF the interests intrusted to its care
A very substantial improvement In the mar
ket prices Of the leading farm PRODUCTS during
the year is noticed. The price of wheat ad-
vanced from 81 cents in October. 1883, to Sl.00A
in October, 1880; corn from 81 cents TO 5OA
cents; cats from 1914 cents to 43 cents, and bar
ley from 63 cents TO ~ cents. Meats showed
substantial but OF so large an increase. The ex-
port trade In live animals and fowls shows q
very large increase; the total value In such ex-
ports FOR the year ending June 30, 1890,
was S33.OOo,OOo, and the increase over
oSo. oSS Nearly Nearly 9OS ,ooo more cattle and
over 40 C0J more hogs were exported than In the
preceding year. The export trade in beef aud

Better Election Laws.

American citizens were required TO catalogue

not doubt that with absolute unanimity it
would begin with -free and honest elections"
And it Is gratifying to know that generally
there is a growing and non- partisan demand
for better election laws. But against this sign
OF hope aud progress must be set the depressing

THERE is something for the Legislature
to do at the next session besides elect U.
S. Senator. 1t is conceded by everybody
that John P. Jones will be reelected to the
position, and that the Democrats have no
one in their party who cares to measure
sacks with him. This being the case, let
the Lyon County Republican Convention
place on the ticket for Assemblymen men
who they are certain will stand right up to
the mark and fight for Lyons interests. ire.
spective Of any influence that may be
brought 10 the contrary. The most import
ant subject for Lyon to consider will be,
whether or not she shall be consumed by
Storey. We think that the people of this
county are opposed to such proceeding al
most to unit, but there might be such a
thing as few who have no interest in the
county being in favor Of such a move. The
Convention, we believe, should exact a
pledge from its nominees for Assemblymen
that they will vote against demonstrating
Lyon county first, last and all the time.

WHILE the new law relative to silver has
advanced the price Of silver bullion consid-
erably and demonstrated beyond doubt
that fire. coinage is what is wanted, the
law does not altogether inspire confidence
IN men Of means who are anxious to invest
in mine property, The huctuatiOn Of the
price Of bullion shows that it is still com.
modify that can be dealt in the same as hay,
potatoes or pig iron. What should be done
with silver is to make it a money metal the
same as gold. Capital could then be in
vested in silver mines with the assurance
that at no time could gand Of manipula-
tors lower the price. A free coinage bill is
what will be required to effect this change,
and that is what Congress should keep
working for until it is accomplished.

THE counties in the eastern part OF the
State that The consolidation proposition
would annihilate, are very much opposed 10
the scheme, in as far as 1t effects their
boundaries, but they do not seem to care how
much consoli dation takes place in the west.
eru part of the State This is natural, we
suppose, and the people Of Lyon county are
Just as much opposed to the consolidation
scheme. but probably would not care SO much
what was done with any other county. Sell
protection is ope Of the FIRST laws Of nature.
The reason that Lyon county is opposed to
being annexed to Storey is because this is an
agricultural county and the taxes are bound
TO diminish instead Of increase as the county
settles up. The rate Of taxation in Storey
county is one-half more than it is in Lyon
county and the heavy taxpayers in Storey
want to be helped out with their taxes. This
is natural, but they must devise some other
means 10 obtain assistance than from the
farmers Of Lyon county. The doing away
with the county government of Lyon would
save probably $4,000 year. How far
would this 60 towards reducing the taxes in
the, what would then be, county Of Storeyf
The officers of the one county could not be
expected to do the work now being done in
both counties for the same money, and there
fore the cost Of running the government OF
the new county would be increased at least
one-half. The people Of this county are now
paying 50 o5 on the 500, taxes. 1t has
been claimed that the consolidation of this
county and Storey will reduce the rate to less
than s. 80 on the 500. 1t is wrong esti-
mate, and while it is hard to tell just what
the cost OF the new county government would
be, it is safe to say that the tax rate would
not be much less than 81, and certainly not
less than 50 50 on the 500, to say nothing
Of what it would cost the residents Of our
part of the county individually, when they
had business at the county seat.

WAR ON GAMBLING.

The District Commissioners now
intend to make war on gambling
saloons. In making war on these
places we take the liberty to sug-
gest that there should not be any
made on account of
color or social standing. No
club no matter how high
it is, has any more right to conduct
a gambling place than the lowest
dive in town. We know or rather
believe that the Commissioners
will do all In their power 70 purify
this community and eliminate
gambling hells which proves so IA
tai to some of our best young men.
Commissioner Roberts is to be
commended for his efforts in at
tempting to inaugurate reform in
this community and now if he will
reform the police force he will do
an important act.

DO WOMEN RUIN MEN? !?

Women are frequently accused of
running their fathers and hus-
bands by willful extravaganza,
with an emphasis on the adjective.
They probably do assist at their
downfall, in repeated instances,
not from willfulness, but from lack
of understanding of the valne and
use of money. The idea of any
normal representative woman be-
ing so malignant, or reckless, or
incOnsiderate as to crafty her
taste, or love of adOrnment, or her
sense of luxury, with any con-
sciousness or suspicion of such a
result, prepOsterOus, especially
when she is supposed to esteem
and love the man she deliberately
undOes. Such thing is so entire
ly foreign to her nature as to be
beyond hypothesis. She would
not be capable of it, if she were
totally Indifferent to the man.
Nothing but the densest selfish,
ness, or the deepest malice would
furnish the motive for such al act
which is, as rule, incompatible
with wOman's nature or wOman's
methods.
At any rate, it is not an excep.
tiOn when a woman ruins man
financially, or otherwise, indeed !?
He is very ready to proclaim him
self ruin by her; he seems to think
that the charge relieves him. He
is so constantly the cause of her
ruin that he is anxious to turn the
tables on her. And to be ruined by
a woman sounds romantic, is cal.
culated to excite pity an sympa-
thy, to put him In the position of a
maI tyr, especially in the eyes of his
own sex. Men almost always ruin
themselves, in a monetary sense
particularly, but lack the courage
to avOw it. Their weakness de.
strOys them, and they dislike to
acknowledge weakness; they pre-
fer to give it the name of some pic
turesque wickedness.- Junius

COMMITTEE ON ELECTIONS.

The committee on contestant
election cas- IS has done good work
thus far, aud demonstrated to the
country that fraud in elections
will not be tolerated. The COM
mittee, although it has done well
must not forget that the Ameri-
can people are watching with pa
tience and anxiety the case of Col.
James Hill of Mississippi. 1t is
hoped and expected that Col. Jas.
Hill will be seated as there is no
doubt that he was fairly and hon
estly elected to this Congress.
Democratic methods of carrying
elections should not be indorsed
by an American Congress as it is
evident that the democracy of the
South has resorted to every dia-
bolicaI scheme to rob ni.tIde rep
resentatives of their just and legal
claims to representation in the
national legislature of this nation.
We hope therefore tn the
Committee on elections will see to
it that the gun-shot policy OF Mis-
sissippi will receive a black eye.

Because she will stick to him
