The MCKINLEY Law.

The Mckinley tariff proves as the
months go on to have made-though
it gave the country the inestimable
advantage of free sugar-a much
smaller reduction in government rev.
enue than was predicted by its oppo-
nents when it was passed or believed
by its critics in the first year after it
went into effect. The aggregate rev.
enue from all sources for the first
three quarters Of the fiscal year which
has just closed was 1868, l40,537.
This is SAT 100000 less than for the
same nine months of the fiscal year
of Is9O-9I, in which the Mckinley
act went into effect, the new law
going into operation October /, 1890,
and the sugar clauses the following
March. AT the first sight this seems
a very serious reduction of revenue;
but, as a matter of fact, the revenue
III the nine months from July |, 1890,
to April /, 1891, was heavily swollen
by importations to evade the higher
duties of the new law.
If the comparison Ct revenue un-
der the Mckinley act is made, in
stead, with the first three-quarterS of
the fiscal year $4,000, in which the
tariff of 1883 was working under
normal conditions, the reduction of
revenue under The new tariff is far
smaller. In the nine months ending
April !, 1890, the total revenue was
s295, 2S9,lO7, or S27,O92, $40 more
than in the nine months just closed.
This points to a reduction of revenue
of about s96,OOO,O0O for the year.

TERRITORIAL.

The surveying firm of Pietz 81
Merry at Eddy, has dissolved. Mr..
Merry was formerly at Las Vegas.
A young alligator was seen on the
banks of the Pccos just below Seven
Rivers. This is the first one ever
heard of so high up the river.
Col. Richard Hudson wishes to be
appointed agent for the Mescalero
Indians. The office is said to carry
a salary of $4,000 and to be worth
about $1,000 a year,
A proposition that is bothering
some of the young married men of
Eddy is, whether to buy their wife
an Easter bonnet, or purchase 40
acres of Pecos valley fruit land.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Pecos valley railway
company will be held at the office of
the company, in the city of Albu-
querque, territory of New Mexico,
on the 10th day of May, 1892, at ~
o'clock noon.
AT n meeting of the board of d.
rectors of the PccoS Valley Town
company, held on Monday, April T.,
1892, it was decided to enforce the
condition reserved in all deeds issued
by such company against tho sale Of
Intoxicating liquors in the town Of
Eddy and to reclaim all property on
which the sale of the same Is persist
ed in.
Mann Satterwhite, the well known
contractor, has thirty teams and
about 65 men at work on the lateral
being built from the eastern canal to
Hagerman flights. The tlume reach
ing across the valley beyond the
Nights is nearly a mile in length,
while the length of the lateral Will be
about four and a half miles. The
actual difference in altitude from the
reservoir on the cistcrn in which the
lateral flows on their western slope,
is 76 feet, yet 1t requires 1920 feet
of pipe to reach from one to the 9th
err. The cistern referred to is about
20 feet square and 8 feet deep. The
reservoir is 80 feet square and feet
deep, the water being forced up
the pipe by steam pump.
The work will be completed by the
first of next month.-Eldy Argus.

There are $4,000 boomers waiting
to enter the Cheyenne lands,and only
10000 quarter sections for them, but
none of them have sense enough to
come on to New Mexico, where
thousands of good locations can be
had. The best way to colonize New
Mexico would be to pass law pro-
hibiting immigration, and the settlers
would at once begin to pour in by
the thousands. "You can't" is great
argument with many people.

We have heard it rumored several
times lately that the Santa Fe COM
pany were wanting to put in larger
shops than at Ration, somewhere
along the line where there was a
good and sufficient water supply, and
if such is the case Las Vegas should
lose no time in pushing its claims
for them. There is no place in the
territory that has the advantages we
have here, and if urged by good
body of citizens there is no reason
why they can not be secured. 1t is
such a selfevident benefit that no
citizen of the town can fail to see the
great advantages to be derived from
the employment of large lot of men
here, and if the company should re-
quire the donation of few acres OF
land to insure the erection of shops
it ought to be secured and decided in
a few hours.

to the country west of the Missouri

evidently considers this country
somewhat similar to Siberia or the

BLAINE'S FRIENDS CONTROL

The majority Of the executive com
mittee Of the republican national com
mittee, as made up by Phil Armour's
lobbyist, Campbell, is composed OF
strong adherents of Mr.. Blaine. Mr..
Platt, who has no use for Harrison, had
to be consulted about the New York
member and named one Of his own lieu
tenants, the late republican candidate
for attorney general, who went down
with Fassett last year. Platt and Fas-
sett have frankly declared that the re-
publicans were beaten in New York on
account Of President Harrison's unpopu-
larity. 1t is impossible to believe that
they have any expectation Of carrying
the state for Harrison this year. Tho
New York leaders are exceedingly wroth
against Tracy, Elkins and Miller, of Mr..
Harrison's cabinet, whom they accuse
OF trying to convince the president that
he could carry the election without the
vote Of New York. The New York Sun
says that Il Carter was one of the
presidents friends who ventured to pro-
test against the turning down Of Clark
son, but that Secretary Elkins was in
favor of it, and carried his point. By the
way, Jul Carter is not making much
Roadway in getting on the national com-
mittee, where he can serve his chief.
Col. Botkin still holds the fort, and
rightfully too. The Montana republi-
cans are unanimously for Blaine and it
is just that they should be represented
by a man loyal to their chosen leader.

The One Conclusion,

canoe 10 not because Nj. Carnegie is a re-
publican, but because in his speeches and
hi. maga zine articles he has made himself
the foremost champion of a policy which
protects republican capitals SITS and demo-
cratic capitalists alike and brushes demo-
cratic and republican laborers without re-

are bent upon is the defeat of the syst, m
which protects the few and impoverishes
the many.
The republican organs attempt to answ r
the anti-tariff arguments produced by tt .
Homestead outrage by pointing to the fas t
that a democrat is interested in the Coerr
d'Alenes mines is SO ridiculous as to reach
the climax of absurdity. In the first place
there is no similarity between the tv o
events, but even if they were precisely the
same, and if some of the proprietors we 9

ference would it make will the Issues of

the fact that the republican party has
falsely and hypocritically assured the la
boring men that q high tariff maintained
high wages? Would it alter the fact that
Andrew Carnegie is the man who has been
the chief exponent of republican principles
and the arch hypocrite IN the tariff ques-
ton? Would it obliterate the fine spun
theories and golden promises which Mr..
Carnegie has published in the name of PC

i. These are the points that must be CON

if the laboring men were in the wrong at

THE murder of the non-union miners
who had left the Gem mine and were on
their way out of the Ceur d'Alene
country vas a cold-blooded and afro
cions crime whose perpetrators should
be hunted down and punished. We
cannot for a moment believe that the
murderers belong to the miners union
of Idaho. We are rather inclined to be-
lieve that the crime was perpetrated by
irresponsible looters and camp followers
who always attend such scenes OF dis
order and excitement. But the miners
union of Idaho owes it to honest labor
to clear it's organization from any posi-
BILE imputation that it's members knew
aught Of these murders. 1t cannot do
a better service than by denouncing the
crimes and by putting forth every effort
to capture and punish the men who
have done SO mucn to discredit the
whole cause Of labor.

If the Helena men who own the Frisco
were republicans instead of democrats, the
HELENA INDEPENDENT would have been
saving the air and denouncing protection
in two or three languages before now and
the other millionaire organs would have
joined in the Observation-Disclosures.
If Mr.. Lee Mantle wanted to be truth
full, which he evidently does not, for
political reasons, he would tell his
readers that the majority of the stock
was owned by such good republicans as
A. M. Hotter, A. j. Seligman, Peter
Larson, A. M. Esler and others. It so
happens that not only a majority of the
owners Of the mine are republicans but
the officers of the company are also of
that political faith. That does not pre-
vent The INDEPENDENT from SAYING
that politics have nothing to do with
the case, or that none of these eminent
and honorable republicans has become
a Observation-Disclosures by reason of a pro
teutive tariff. But it is too much to ex-
pect MI. Lee Mantle to be fair. He
isn't built that way. He would sacrifice
his political friends for the sake of at.
lacking a political opponent.
