WASHINGTON, July TO- Hon

IN an interview tonight de.
'nies the authenticity Of the
reported interview with him
some weeks ago in which he
was quoted as saying that
the democracy must beat the
|alliahce out of existence. Al
an agricultural organization
he thinks the alliance q good
thing. He favors all the de-
mands Of the alliance except
the sub-treasury and land.
loan bills, and the govern
ment ownership Of railroads,
but condemns t h e alliance
methods tocontrol the demo.
cratic party in the South and
commiti it to the support OF
these tn rec Objectionable
MEASURES. He says that the
complaint Of the farmers are
just, but some of the RENE
dies proposed by the alliance
are infinitely worse than the
disease that the democratic
party favors-the reduction
OF taxes, more extended mar
kets for agricultural products
and q great volume Of sound
money.
He adds that II the demos
Gratis gets control If thegov-
eminent the farmers will find
in these measures the relief
they seek and are entitled to,
He strongly condemns all Sc

Agriculture viii Advance.

While our county generally
is growing in populationand
wealth, it is an abnormal
condition OF affairs that ag-
riculture, which has always
been recognized as the basis
|of prosperity and wealth,
should send up it's wall of de-
preston. The situation at.
fords an interesting probleth
whether the farmers general
~ are suffering more than
men in other occupations.
Merchants complain of short
profits and unremunerative
business, and published re.
ports show their failures.
But in the cultivation. Of
the soil, and care Olive stock,
probably no occupation re-
quires more varied knowl-
edge than farming. With
such intelligence and occupa-
tion there will be luxury and
elegance. The tiller of the
soil will be not tonly the "hon-
est farmer but the intelli.
gent gentleman. He will dig
nifty and be honored by the
labor with head and hand
which will give him health
and wealth. There are far.
mers of this kind now, and
their numbers will increase.
Such improved conditions
come of steady growth, they
are not made to order. But
it is safe to say that among
the evolutions OF the future,
the developments in aericnl.
ture and the condition Of
the farmer will be no less; at
least, than those Of any oths
er industry.
The law enacted by Con-
gress and some state legisla-
lures, within a few years, to
protect the public against
the monopoly and extortion
Of powerful trusts and COM
binations of wealth, and the
manufactures and sale of spu4
rious and adulterated food,
will require amendments, and
the vigilant power Of the
governments must be exerted
for their enforcement.
In many states legislation
is needed to reduce taxes by
reduction Of salaries paid
state and county officers.
While public officers should
be we'll paid in order to se-
cure the best service, there is
no good reason why they
should be paid salaries which
amount, in two orfour years,
to more money than the av.
erage farmer can make in a
life time. Then, with read
justed tax laws the now bur.
densome taxes under which
farmers labor will be reduced.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

~ greaC Dig scandal, lnvOlV
ing ough more than one
of it's members, the admins.
tration, may be the outcome
of the Itata business. 1t is
whispered IN inside circles
here that the opinions OF GER
tain people--the matter is en-
| tire y too serions TO use
names upon no better basis
than rumor-have eeninfu-
enced both for and against
the Chilian insurgents by the
receipt of large sums OF mon
ey, which has, according to
the story, been furnished by
certain parties in New York
who are heavily interested in
Chilian commerce, and whose
business rivalry is thought
by many to be at the bottom
of all the trouble in that un-
fortunate country. Certain
it is that Balmaceda and the
insurgents are both represen-
ted in Washington by shrewd
agents and lawyers, the lat
ter Americans, and the ap-
pearances indicate that both
sides are well supplied with
money and that at least one
side has paid big money for
the right to use the news col
umns OF certain newspapers.
The administration officially
recognizes t h e Balmaceda
governmental but Senor Mont
the representative here OF the
Chilian insurgents, or, as he
says, "the only constitutions
al government of Chili", ap.
pears to be confident that
the Itata will be released by
the courts and that the insur-
gents will soon be recognized
by this Government.
1t is rather an odd coinci-
dent that Secretary Porter,
the defender of the extrava-
gance OF the billion dollar
Congress, and who has been
preemineht in his party as a
spokesman, should have reach
ed the same conclusion that
the late Hon. Samuel j. Ran
dali, who as chairman of the
Committee O n Appropria-
tions of the House Of Repre-
sehtatives made a reputa-
tion for honesty and econo-
my in public icexpenditures new
.er surpassed, did as to the
,advisability Of abolishing five
out Of the six Auditors off,
ces OF the Treasury depart
ment, because OF the useless
ness of the work done in those
offices, which consists almost
entirely Of duplicating the
work done in the Offices Of the
Comptrollers Of the Treasr-
ry. Mr., Randall ones drew
up a bill to abolish these and |
some other useless bureaus
OF the Treasury department,
but he found it impossible to
secure support for it in Con-
gress, because it meant a re-
duction in the number OF
clerksemployed which meant
m nc h less patronage for
the Congressman. 1t would
be an easy matter, we're Con,
gress SO disposed, to save
nearly $2,OOO,OOO per. year.
in this one department, BY ia

Randall'so originalidea, which
for some reason Mr.. Eoster
has seen flt to endorse.

rng l rARaEiss ALLIANCE. a

The farmers alliance Is the product OF
indignation and despair indignation at the
merclless exaeIions imposed on the agri-
cultural interest By the republican party
and despair that the other national party
would ever be able 10 obtain the suprem-
aey and right the wrongs pe-petra'ed by
Its powerful adversary.
That this indignation was originally we'll
founded is beyond question. lis doaet-
