Editor. FREE TRADE SELFISHNESS. The theory of free trade has very aptly been pronounced "a science based on assumptions." The correctness of this diagnosis finds confirmation in the nervousness of the average free trade advocate when confronted by the cold facts of history and business experience. No country has ever succeeded in at taining national prominence in the absence of a rigid regard for the defense of those industries rendered practicable by reason of natural resources and the ability cf its people to make and keep themselves in most part independent of business rivals in other countries. England is at once the inspiration of free trade evangelism in the United States and the model to which free trade attorneys invariably point to their ideal of economic government.

Yet, within recollection of men now living, when modifying its policy, the British Parliament repealed a code of laws, certain provisions of which would make the protective features of our present tariff seem the extreme of conservatism. It was not until after three centuries of protection, and when confronted with the fact that British acres could not longer meet the demand for bread and meat for British tables, that Parliament ventured to repeal the corn laws and to remove the barriers of defense from about those products of manufacture that rigid protection had brought to a unparalleled perfection. This chapter of British history so rigidly excluded from the speeches of those who are seeking to anglicize the policy of this country, and given no place in the pages of literature with which the Cobden Club so liberally supplies its American allies, is none the less one that the patriotic student of the situation cannot afford to ignore. Nor Bhould he fail to recall the fact that the policy of protecting her industeries 6o long as protection beems essential to supremacy, is one that Great Britain has never altogether abandoned. Every important line of steamships owned by British capital and run from British ports is defended egainst damaging competitionby subventions that constitute a guaranty of intereets upon necessary investments, but British con suls are quite generally tinder instruc tions to act as agents of such lines if their services are required.

Another form of British protection is now claiming attention of our cabinet and minister to England. Represents tives of the department of agriculture have for seme months been in England under instructions to minimize the expense and embarrassments heaped up against American live stock under an assumed fear of contagious diseases, but in reality to ally the restlessness of British farmers and stock raisers over American competition. Great Britain has ever been prompt to handicap foreign competition when its freedom was likely1 to operate to the pecuniary disadvantage of her subjects. The pressure for free trade with this country is no exception to this rule of national selfish iness, and will be reversed as the change from protection was made whenever the exigencies of British interests seems to require such a step. In the organization of the legislature yesterday, Tucson with her usual modesty got there with both feet.

of the council and the chief clerks of both houses is not to be sneezed at for a beginning. All are able and pains taking gentlemen and we commend the 6olons on their excellent judgment. It appears as well "as republicans can appreciate the talent of the old pueblo. The legislature is in session and inasmuch as it is almost wholly democratic th6 people will watch with interest the many reformatory measures that have a promise of being introduced. McKjnley expressed the general sen timent when he said that congress would remain in session till the 4 th of March if necessary in order to pass a bill insuring honest elections.

The Phenix Herald was the first paper to print the governor's message. Which it did on the day of its delivery to the legislature. It was a commendable piece of enterprise. The printing of the delinquent tax ist for the year 1800 was awarded the Citizen yesterday. This is a sure guar antee that the work will be done well.

The Citizen get a full report of the legislature each day. This gives the news twelve hours before it can be elsewhere. C.JMetek Zulick, always conspicuous for his assanine qualities, has beaten all high water mark records this season. The third houseis reported as being unusually well attended. The sack however, is reported emalL -r ALTHorcH Coconina county is not born a war for the respective offices has already been inaugurated.

Thk legislature in its desire to reduce and reform should avoid crippling the public service. Welcome Governor Irwin toj Arizona Fuu.y ona thousand acres are being planted to fruit- this year -at Phenix, and jvicinrty. Prrrr desert-rsiwl patents were received at the land office this morning. Many of the foregoing passed to certificate but a few months 6mce. The republican administration is certainly the friend of the agriculturist in Arizona.

It takes but a month now to secure a patent to land whan under the democratic it took at least a year. The Agriculturalist in Arizona, is treated as a fair and honorable gentleman, and upon compliance with the law an absolute deed is given him by the government to the land upon which he.has made his home, and by the sweat of his hands has herescued from the desert waste. This policy is the reverse of that adopted by their democratic predecessors, who treated them as rogues and land thieves. This difference ought certainly to make even the most ultra democrats do a little thinking in the of the party that daily shows itself the friend of all men. The "Phenix Herald gets there with both feet on the square proposition that the judiciary of Arizona is none too well paid at present.

Indeed for the ability we have now in the department the salary is not as much as such ability would command in the ordinary prac tices of law, and yet there is an inclina tion on the part of a portion of the coming legislature to cut off such portion of the salary of the judges as they are getting from the counties. Th is is mere political clap trap even if accomplished and can only result in crippling our ju diciary very seriously. If such a bill ehould through mistaken zeal of some political demagogue find its way into the legislature, fair minded men who are honestly there seeking to do the very best they can, to support the interests of the people must carefully weigh the effect such a measure must unavoidably have jupon the court which above all other departments of our government should be in position to command the very best talent, the highest order of ability and integrity. A mere pittance cannot do it, men must be paid for their labors and no one of ability would be willing to occupy such a position when he could command a far better salary and save himself the criticism and un certainity of public position. Arizona is willing to pay well for the best.

The pros and cons on the free introduction of Mexican lead ores into the United States are as far from a satisfactory solution today as there were when the question first came to the fore on the ruling of Secretary Windom nearly two years ago. On the one 6ide have been arrayed the smelter men and their interests, on the other side the honest hard working American miner, taught by practical and too of ten sorrowful experience of the effects of free lead ores on the mining industry of the west. The reciprocal features in the McKinley tariff bill ha3 again stirred the heart of the American miner and meetings have been called in New Mexico looking to the repeal of an objectional' clause. At a meeting of miners held in the city of Deming, N. SL, this 12th day of January, 1891, at which were present in person the producers of more than half the ore mined in the Territory of New Mexico for the year 1890, and by proxy more than one fourth more, thereby making a representation of fully three- fourths of the ore producers of New Mexico, the following resolutions were offered and unanimously adopted: Whereas, We are informed that ef forts are being made to have the tax by the McKinley bill reduced or removed from Mexican lead seeking entrance to the Uuited States, we would respectful ly present for the consideration of con gress the following brief statement of facts: 1.

Prior the legislation of last year, which resulted in placing a tax upon Mexican lead, there was not a lead mine in New Mexico working to a profit. Smelters that owned good lead mines had abandoned them and found it cheaper to use Mexican lead produced by peon labor. 2. As soon as it.Jbecame apparent that the Mexican lead would have to pay the tax the smelters began to recov er their abandoned lead mines in our own Territory, and, bo far as we know, they have, without exception, been put in profitable working condition. 3.

Mining camps that have for many years been deserted at once showed signs of life. Hundreds of mine owners who have been without means to develop their properties because the price paid for lead has been two low, were at once enabled to begin operations. 4. The yast lead ore bodies that have been exposed during this short season of great activity have surprised all of us. There has been opened up twice as much lead as we had believed to exibt This is particularly true in San Pedro, Magdalena, Cook's Peak, Florida, Hachita and Pina Altos districts.

5. There has, then, by reason of this better price for leadprung up an almost entirely new industry in this Territory. The lead production will nearly repre sent the gross profits of the entire min ing business of New Mexico for 1889. 6. This new branch of our mining industry, which has begun to be devel oped and which holds much promise to us as miners, so long as Mexican ores are compelled to pay duty, has not flour ished at the expense of miners of any other classes of ores.

Dry or siliceous ores carrying no lead are now being treated for less than was charged by smelters in 1888 or 1889, when the lead came in from Mexico free; and Wheeeas, In 1890 thousands of dollars have been actually produced from what was worthless lead ore before the McKinley bill, not $1 of which appears to have been paid by the miner of dry ores. 7. It is our opinion that there are in New Mexico a great sufficiency of lead ores to smelt all the ores of our Territory, therefore, be it, Resolved, That we most earnestly petition the Congress of the United States etoV protect our new industry of Ilao! mffiihg itf Mexico by refusing to allow the lead ores of Mexico produced by peon labor to come in without taxation, and beg that the tax be not re duced as the margin for profit now vouchsafed is only such as insures a reassnble profit to the lead miner. Among other suggestions of the acting governor's report Is that the Com-missiober of Immigration take a recess. In th8 suggestion a least the democratic majority will concur.

Thk Courier gays: Tucson people oppose the abandonment of Fort Lowell We, too, are opposed to the hope that General Proctor, Secretary of War, will rescind his order. He knows why it should be kept up. The decease of David Ealakua, King of the Sandwich Islands may lead to trouLJw in the kirgdom of sunshine and Ki iolina, a sister of David, is success, to the rone, but there exists a strong republican feeling and Kapiolina may not be in it. Jebby Simpsoj Ingalls' rival for senatorial honors in Kansas was recently in New Orleans, and sent in the following order at fashionable restaurant: -bole. of.

consume, quale ontoo-te lobster salad, mianase potatoes, roui umlet, and a quort of shampain" Simpson is the Alliance candidate. The Star suggest Governor Irwin make hie appointments from both parties, thai both parties may be alike The suggestion is natural ooming from a -democratic source at a time when the democrats are not. in it. It would be a precedent however that it would be hard to get a democrat to follow." Moreover' instead of -dividing the responsibity it would simply do away with that Our neighbor evidently intended the suggestion as a practical joke. It is not easy to exaggerate the importance of.

the Nicaragua canal bill which has been reported to the senate by Senator Sherman. It provides in brief chat the capital 6tock of the' company shall be limited to and the company is authorized to issue bonds to that amount to run 100 years, and to bear 3 per cent interest, these bonds to be guaranteed by the United States as to principal and interest as those become due. It is also provided that the bonds fehall not be sold at less than par. Careful provision is made for the protection of the government it being reputated that the bonds are to be held by the secretary of the treasury and delivered to the company for sale pnly in proportion to the progress made in the work of canal construction, and six of the' fifteen directors are to be appointed by the president of the United States It is confidently expected that the company wili.be able to meet all' its obligations as they accrue, and that States will not be called upon to 'pay either, principal or interest. If there should however, be any failure the Unit ed States would have to foreclose and become the owner of tne property; and this possibility leads necessarily to the consideration of international relations.

The only treaty of the United States that bears upon this question is the so- called Clayton-Buiwer' treaty of 1850. By this convention the United States and Great Britian bound themselves not to obtain anj exclusive control over the canal, which at that time was contemplated as an enterprise immediately to be undertaken, and agreed also not to "colonize or assume or exercise any domain over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito Coast any other part of Central America." The report of the committee accompanying the bill argues that this treaty does not interfere with tne proposition made by tne bill, since the treaty was based on the idea of the immediate prosecution of the enterprise then projected, and has therefore be come obsolete. Great Britain now con trols the Suez canal, and this, in con nection with other acts of England, is considered ample reason from discharg ing the United States from its obliga tions and declarations under the treaty. Moreover, in the opinion of the committee, the proposed measure contains nothing inconsistent with any of the engagements of the United States under the convention of 1850. It is argued, also that the work is so great, and its possible benefits so transcendent that it should not be kft to private enterprise, which, in the chances of the future, might fail.

The guarantee of the government will enable the people to obtain funds at a lower rate of interest and will prevent the control of the canal from falling into other hands through the purchase of bonds and company securities for foreign account. As for the interest which the United States has in the proposed canal, this has so often been set forth that no repetition of it is necessary. It is perhaps to be regretted that that the plan for guaranteeing the bonds was not proposed at the outset, but there is undoubtedly a much stronger sentiment in favor of this work than then, and there is a general recognition of its national character. The senate committee certainly make a strong argument in favor of the bill. Specimen Cases.
