VISITING TOM HILL.

A DIsPArcH reporter rode from Reno
to Clark's station with Tom Hill
Wednesday 10 take a look at the conn
try. We stopped awhile at the Devine
ranch at the mouth of the canyon and
had the satisfaction OF seeing nearly 100
tons OF the best onions that ever were
grown and a model onion house. We
we're given a sample of the onions and
the dealers and other experts have pro-
nounced the onions a surprise to them
on quality.
The ranches are all as yet in winter
garb but the ranchers all have a smile
and speak OF a prosperity brought them
by the Republican administration Of the
the country's affairs. We were rather
astonished at the magnitude Of Tom
Hills home place at Clark's with it's
several thousand broad acres and we'll
kept app%urtenances. We took a look at
about 100 head OF Young cattle that will
make choice and tender beef for April
delivery. The dairy stock was also roll

emphatic in declaring that IL is the
Government through its tariff laws

admitted that the Sugar Trust, Of
which he is President, which ia the
greatest in existence, with the posi-
BILE exception of the Standard Oil
Trust. could not have been formed but
for the aid Of The tariff law. Those
who 6lled the lobSies Of Congress
clamorous for the passage of the Nc
Kinloy tariff were Interested IN some
OF tho trusts which existed then or
Wsro in contempla ton. HayemeYer

any amount OF money, working for

reason that it was Indispensable for
the successful operation Of the Sugar

II the duties are taken from any class
Of foreign goods the trust which has

Senator Sherman well understood
the effect Of repeating the law which
gave protection TO tho aomo producer
when he said in his place in the Senate
that he would repeal every cont Of

tions we're formed 10 restrain trade.
When the people who are severe i'm
