12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1895. JAPANESE GOODS FLOODING SAN FRANCISCD, One Effect of the Tariff Bill of William Wilson. LABOR IS CHEAP IN KOBE Reyrall, English and Alert, Does Not Overlook the Main Chance. HE FOUND THE PORTALS OPEN. Two Yankee Salesmen Come and Pile | Up Orders for Nippon's Low- Priced Products. When Congress a year ago last February passed the tariff bilt of Wi m Wilson of Virginia 1ts author and the Democratic majority which played Polonius to his Hamlet did not then count upon the dis- 2 element the Orient was to become in the trade of the world. Less than two y have elansed—only ifteen months, in t, since the bill be- came a law and the Fifty-third Congress adjourned its first session—and aiready this country is threatened with a flood of the products of the cheap labor of Japan. The lack of foresight of the man who is now Postmaster-General and the inistaken policy of the Democratic party have made it possible for the d irbing element of - trans-Pacific handicraft to begin its work | of demoralization in the industrial world and the markets of the Nation, for within a week or two past a single manufacturing house of Kobe, Japan, s placed in this City alone, through a quick-witted repre- sentative, Orders for nea 00,000 worth of the finished products of Nibpon's swarthy myriads. And at such figures! | as the proverb puts it. He acted on it | without any hesitation, and was soon | doing a thriving business sending manu- factures to manufacturing Britain. The finances of the world have helped him, too. He can get British gold for his roducts in Britain, while he can pay his aborers with Mexican or Indian silver, the ratio of which to gold among the | money exchanges is now about 35 to 1, or, in other words, an English sovereign is as good as ten of the bright silver dollars with which he pays his employes. And | these employes he pays at the rate of three of such dollars for one month for expert work and two of them for ordinary labor, and 1n some cases only half adollara month! G 2 “To him that hath shall be given,” itis said, so after the British opportunity came the American. W. F. Burns, a young man hailing originally from Baltimore, chanced to be in Japan, and to Reynall | Burns suggested the idea of making an | | experiment with the United States. The | Wilson tariff had opened the portals of the | country, so why not enter? Reynall con- | cluded to enter. A brother of Burns, Edward O. Burns, | domiciled at 2120 Pacific avenue, in this | City, was communicated with, and he, too, | paid Japan and Kobe a visit. It isthis | brother, who has since come back and | sold about a half million dollars worth of | Reynali’s goods in San Francisco. W. F. Burns is in New York, and is reported to | be doing still better. It was Edward O. Burns who got the $9000 carload of buttons order; who sold $50.000 worth of upholstered furniture to a | local furniture concern; who, to use his | own words, has “sold enough matches in this City to supply every man, woman and | child with matches for a couple of years, | at least”; who bas been so liberal in busi- ness matters that to one house, the rating of which is about $5000, he sold $6000 worth of goods, and who boasts that he received an order “‘from the head man himself of the Manufacturers and Producers’ Associ- ation,” whoever that might mean. BURNS’ POINT OF VIEW. | Reynall’s Representative Says It Is “Prices That Talks.” Mr. Burns was yisited at his home yes- | terday afternoon. He told this story: Yes, I have sold goods here made by Reynail; Jots ot them. Idon't have to drum; it's prices that talks. Tjust tell the merchants whatI can lay the goods down here for and they give | the orders. | Tl say this for Reynall, though: | | | | | { | He buys | Think of a ‘“great | haif as much in this country as he sells here ! Burns; “they are altogether too indepen- dent.” SR o WILSON’S OBLIGING TARIFF Comparison of It With the Schedule (1890) of Mr. McKinley. Two things help H. E. Reynall of Kobe, Japan, in his business. One is the Wilson tariff and the other a favorable rate from the Canadian Pacific. The difference be- tween the two routes amounts to 25 cents per 100 pounds, easily, on an ayverage to Mr. Reynall, says Mr. Burns; and if the prod- ucts of Kobe’s factories could come here and compete even if the tariff were 60 per cent higher, the inference is that their net profit is at least 50 per cent to Reynall and his agents. Mr. Burns says that is about the present profit. Take a look ata comparison of the Mc- Kinley and Wilson tnrigs on some of the articles brought to this country now from Reynall’s workshops. Mr. Burns says he can lay down cutlery and surgical instru- ments in this City for half the price now asked for similar articles in the trade.

ONE LOCAL FURNITURE HOUSE HAS ALREADY PLACED AN ORDER FOR §50,000 WORTH OF GOODS WITH A JAPANESE FIRM. [From a photograph.| 0ss”” of buttons turned out by H. E. eynall of Kobe selling in San Francisco for almost the same price a single gross of American-made buttous can command in the trade! The price is so low—so ab- surdly low—that it was necessary to get a cablegram from Reynall to assure the buyer he was not being imposed upon! | And then he took $9000 worth on one or- der—a button order, which is_certainly a very remarkable phenomenon in the world of speculation. Ind not orly buttons can Le brought here at such ridiculously low figures, it seems, but matches, upholstered goods, clothing, table and toilet linen, and even bicycles. And who is this man_ Reynall? A few iears ago he was plodding along in the usy streets of London, England, looking sround with an Englishman’s keen eye for the main chance. He received a sug- gestion that turned his attention toward Japan and its 40,000,000 active people. Men, women and children work in Japan. To toil is second nature with them. They are very apt disciples of Tolstoi without ever having heard of the sage of Moscow. Reynail went to_ Japan, establisbed him- self in Kobe—or Hiogo, as it was called— and he is now rated at a_cool $1,000,000, with aplimited capital behind him to boot. Reynall was doing pretty well as it was without bothering with America. Free- trade England afforded him a glorious op- ortunity. He coula out-English the Euplish themselves in matters of business, for while the Manchester or Birmingham manufacturer bad to }]'my sisted upon having families—and well-fed well-clothed and well-housed ones, witha —and was, therefore, compelled by the very nature of things to pay the worthy workman the hire due his character and intelligence, the Kobe manufacturer had to do with a different class entirely. Rey- nall found a cheap, amiable, ignorant and lively people in a tavoring climate and cumbering a semi-civilized land already over-populated with them, and he imme- diately conceived the idea of doing what the philospher would have told him not to do, to wit: *‘Sending coals to Newcastle,” mefl who in- | when it is all summed up. He sent over $50,- | | 000 by the last steamer and we sent beef and | | tobacco back to him with it. We sent five car- loads of a Milwaukee brand of beer, &lso. Matches! Why, I sold a cigar-house here | which represents’a New York firm 250 cases | | of matches, and it is to have its advertisement | | on the boxes, and then the matches, boxes and all will Cost it less than the boxes and ‘Pasllng alone would in this country. Isold 500 cases in St. Louis, for that matter, to the | president ot the Diamond Match Company. e said he did not want our matches to com- | pete, with his and would buy up what I had. was in the business of selling matches, so 1 let him buy. It takes about five days to make that amount of matches. There are 600 dozen boxes in & case, and they are parlor matches at that. What can we undersell here? Oh, wood and willow ware, upholstered goods, clothing— almost everyihing in the menufacturing line. We import cotton from New Orleans and Texas, wool from Australia, have silk at home or get it from China, and, as for timber, we have plenty of forests, Our import duty in Japan is & mere bagateile. 1t does not amount to over 5 per cent ad valorem. And Ill tell you what you can do in this country: You can raise your tariff 60 per cent and then we can come in and compete with your own goods to an ad- vantage. The highest rate of wages we pay is §3 per month per man, and meny of our employes receive only 50 cents & month. It doesn’t cost them much tolive, you sce.

If ] hadn’t been a “god” I would not heve had to pay more than half a cent. Burns said Reynall did not ship any- thing via the Pacitic Mail or Southern Pa- | cific, because he could get much better { | rates from the Empress line of steamers | and the Canadian Pacific. The rate of- fered to Reynall by the Pacific Mail for | the distance between San Francisco and St. Louis alone, he said, was $1 85, while | the Canadian Pacific would ship all the | way from Kobe to St. Louis for $2 25. The | cotton imported from New Orleans and | Texas went via St. Paul and Winnipeg, | and thence over the Canadian Pacific to | Vancouver, B.

There was a general reduction of everything the Orientals were able to make, and with their advantage of cheap labor—an aver- age of $2a month in depreciated silver as against $30 a month (a conservative esti- mate of the American average) in United States gold coin—what is to hincer Japan from driving American merchants out of buginess in their own country ? dsuid sy MUST GO TO CONGRESS. Local Manufacturers Favor Prompt Actlon at Washington. A. 8. Hallidie is very much in favor of immediate action being taken by the man- ufacturers on this coast to bring to the at- tention of Congress the great danger of the competition of the product of the cheap labor of Japan. “There should be some steps taken by our manufacturers here soon, for the peo- ple of the East are not awake to the dan- ger and it may take some time to bring them to a proper appreciation of it, as it did in the Chinese question,” ke said last evening. *Of course, they can manufacture very cheaply with their low wages, and we protect ourselves against it a great deal of harm will be done to many of our indus- tries. They have, I undersiand, started a factory for making watches, which they propose to sell at 50 cents apiece. Then they are turning out nails and articles of that class. They are now spinning cotton, and the wages paid to the laborers in that industry is, I believe, about 37 cents a week. What can we do agamst that? They have only some 10,000 spindles. and it is a curious thing that they don’t put in more. However, as soon as_they find that they can manufacture and export to the United States, of course they will do it. As soon as they begin to appreciate their advantages you may be sure that they will make use of them. “The new tariff bill has more than doubled our importations from Great Britain, especially in woolen goods, and if Great Britain can with its higher priced labor do so much ia the United States with her manufactures, what may we not ex- pect from Japan? “It is simply a question whether we want to bring the status of our wagesdown to that in Japan and expect’ our m_chanics on the top of thar to send their children to be educated in our schools. ““Of course there is a great deal tobe said against levying a duty on goods in excess of the difference in the cost of production, but heretofore the cost of production has been based on labor in Great Britain. But what are we going to do in the case of Japan? The condition of the people is peculiar. The rate of wages and cost of iving is a mere trifle compared with ours. Are we to be gu'ded by their rate of wages and cost of living? ‘It is important that action be taken in the matter promptly. Probably the mosi practical thing to be done would be for Congress to avpoint a committee to go to Japan and look into the matter and study the question. There should be little delay, for whatever is to be done would necessa- rily take some time to carry out. Our sal- vation in that respect lies in the fact that it will take Japan some time to get in a position to do much exporting.” Samuel Newbauer, secretary of the Met- ropolitan Match Company, believes that the only salvation is in an increase in the duty. ‘““As to matches,” he said last night, “the duty is altogether too low as itis. A small reduction in the price of imported matches would knock out the match- gether. The Japanese have been sending in matches forsome time of certain kinds, and, with their low wages, could, with very little trouble, manufacture all kinds and land them here at prices that we couia not compete with. Our only hope is in Congress, and something should be done quickly to bring the matter to its atten- tion.’ GEORGE WHITE 1N JAL He Will Serve a Five Days’ Sentence for Contempt of Court. The Mendocino County Czar Refuses to Talk for Publication at This Time. George E. White, the Mendocino County cattle king, is at the County Jail serving out a five days’ sentence for contempt of court. His time began yesterday morning at 10 o’clock, though as a matter of fact he reached the City at about the same hour Saturday night. He was in charge of Sheriff Johnson of Mendocino County. White is not alone, but is cheered by the presence of John S. Rohrbough ofthe same county, who must perforce serve out a similar sentence. In addition to the five days in the County Jail these two men must pay a fine of $500. In the early part of the present year an effort was made to appoint a receiver for ‘White, owing to certain executions then in existence against him. Before the mat- ter was definitely settled White leased to Rohrbough fora term of years ce rtain prop- erties subject to these executions. He and Rohrbough were held 1n contemptof court and sentenced to five days in the County Jail and to pay a fine of $500. This decis- ion was upheld by the Supreme Court. “I have nothing to say for publication at the present time,” said White yesterday. “Maybe in a day or so I may give the pu lic something that is as startling as it is true. I see no way of avoiding the five days’ time in the County Jail, though, candidly speaking, I don’t care the snap of my finger forit. I think the sentence ex- tremely unjust, but in view of the fact that the Supreme Court has so decided I see no way out of it. 1 was never in jail before, and never will be again if I can avoid it. It is very comfortable here, how- ever, and I ha 0 reason to complain of the accommodations. ““Will I pay the fine of $500? That is a bard question to answer just at present. ‘Wait until the time comes and then ask me the same question. “I shall insist, however, that my time in | the County Jail began Saturday night— | from the time of my arrival in the City. We went to the City Prison, but were re- fused admittance, and not being able to find the County Jail put up at a hotel.” ————— MEMBERS CONFIRMED. One Hundred Candidates Pass Archbishop at St. Paul’s Church. There was a grand celebration at St. Paul’s Catholic Church yesterday after- noon, when 156 candidates were confirmed by Right Rev. Archbishop Riordan. The majority of these were little girls ranging in age from 8 to 13 years, buc there were others just seeking confirmation who were well past their childhood. Assisting the Archbishop were Fathers Connelly, Casey, McGinty, Muiligan, O’Grady and Very Rev. Father Prender- gast. The music was by the St. Paul's Shoral Society, under the leadership of Mrs. Amelia Quinn. At the conclusion of the confirmation and after Archbishop Riordan had in- voked a solemn benediction, 100 boys were enrolled into the League of the Cross. Before administering the pledge the Archbishop made a brief address upon the evils of intemperance. “If boys,” he said, ‘‘were brought up in the good old-fash- ioned way there would be little danger for them, but now they have too much lib- erty. If the strenuous efforts which are vut forth to stop this liquor curse seem un- called for, we have our warrant in the Bible. Not only the Old Testament but the New cries out against intemperance.” The boys were then enrolied in the order and a grand rally of all members of the League of the Cross was announced for next Wednesday night. TWO SMALL FIRES. One of Them Believed to Have Been of Incendiary Origin. A fire which the authorities believe to have been of incendiary origin started last evening in the building at the southwest corner of Twenty-sixth and Bryant streets. The building is a two-story frame, owned and occupied up to a few months ago by Paolo Caribiou. The property is now in litigation and the present owners are un- known. The fire started in a stable in the rear of the dwelling, and as the house was unoc- cupied it is believed the blaze was started accidentaily by tramps, or perhaps inten- tionally. The fire communicated to the adjoinin dwelling on _Twenty-sixth street, owne: and occupied by M. Kerchen, and bef ore it was subdued about $1000 damage in all had been done. The alarm was turned in from box 285, The alarm from box 327 was for a fire in the residence of Thomas Ward at 25 Boice azrecl.

The Much-Discussed Theme Tabooed by a Pioneer Organization—Laurel Hall Club. The *‘old man” will still have a chance to continue his roles of protector, bread- winner-in-chief and sturdy oak of the human family if the Laurel Hall Club has its way. It is a notable fact that neither the toast- mistress nor any .of the ladies who re- sponded to toasts at the Laurel Hall Club breakfast on Friday made any reference to the ballot as woman’s weapon. Consider- ing that all loyal suffragists have been urged by their feminine Moses, Susan B. Anthony, to advocate suffrage on all public occasions, whether of social, political or religious nature, and that they bave not been known to lose such an opportunity since the last woman’s congress, this_was especially noticeable. Mrs, Sarah B. Cooper, who though a recent convert to woman suf- frage and is its_ardent supporter, did not mention any talismanic words in her ten- minute address on *Literary Clubs.” This fact was the occasion of much com- ment outside the club circles. Within those circies it was well known that this abstinence from arguments or appeals in behalf of equal suffrage was 2 mark of def- erence to views of the amiable hostess, Mrs. I. Lowenberg, who is president not only of the Laurel Hall Club, but the Philo- math as well. She gave the breakfast at the Palace Hotel in honor of the Laurel Hu}ll Club, but invited a goodly represen- tation from the Century ana Sorosis clubs, and Woman’s Press Association. Of ail these clubs the Philomath takes probably the strongest stand against the new woman, or the ballot-in-hand con- ception of her, and next in the rank of conservatism, with regard to the question involved, is the Laurel Hall Club, the pioneer of women’s clubdom in San Fran- cisco. While there are afew members of both clubs who may be found in suffrage ranks, the large majority are opposed to it. Mrs. Charles Freeman Johnson’s re- sponse to the toast, ‘‘Man,” is said to embody the sentiments of the club as an organization. The lady said: ‘At this era of the new woman a toast to man seems rather unmanageable, yet this is a mandate. [ can express my senti- ments by asserting that marri-age is the best ‘age’ in the world. Mansin any capacity is a power among us. In spite of the noisy fads he will go on loving and protecting the fortunate woman whose happiness it is to be in the shelter of his strength. “So I say, may good fathers, brothers and husbands multiply and continue as from the beginning to help us make thav one blessed spot in life—a home—a home of Jove and mutual dependence unmarred by any question of equality.”” This toast in contrast to the “roast’’ the male fraction of humanity is so likely to receive at similar gatherings awoke hearty applause, and the handshakings and in- formal indorsements that followed would warrant the spectator in believing that man still has a chance for a reasonable place in the estimation of his fair sisters il he tries to be worthy of it. Mrs. Lowenberg, the hostess on the oc- casion of the tabooed topic, says mildly that !‘she has not received the suffrage | ide: i in%s‘ he officers of Laurel Hall Club are: Mrs. Lowenberg, president; Mrs. Thomas W. Collins, Mrs. John Farnham, Mrs. R. 8. Fiske, Mrs. D. W. Guptill, Mrs. Russell Wing, vice-presidents; Mrs. Irving Moul- ton, secretary; Mrs. John T. Hill, corre- sponding secretary; Mrs. Stephen Roberts, treasurer; Mrs. W. R. Parnell, Mme. Emelia Tojetti, Mrs. J. Brandt, Mrs. Ed- ward R. Taylor,~Mrs. Philo_D. Jewett, Mrs. George Peterson, Mrs. Louis Wein- mann, executive committee. CLITOY OF IS MUSCLE The English Gentleman From Burlingame Whips Al Hess. There is a tacit understanding that not to be discussed at the club meet- Suspected He Was Duped—Sequel of a Flying Trip to Stockton by Special Train. Talbot Clifton of Burlingame donned his warpaint last night and in consequence the scalp of Al Hess, the racehorse tout, dan- gles from his belt. In the billiard hall of the Palace Hotel the following story was told: For some time Clifton has been enam- ored of a Stockton lady, who, he was led to believe by Hess, reciprocated the pas- sion. Clifton, however, overstepped the bonds é)rescribed by aociet{ in some fash- jon, and according to his friend Hess he found himself in a disagreeable position. { @ ne money would be needed in the nego- tiations for peace, and Clifton must pros- trate himself at the feet of the young udg. It was necessary to do this at once. So Clifton chartered a special train and be- fore many hours found himself in Stock- ton. The special train cost bim $516, so the story goes. Arrived in Stockton it did not take Clifton very long to find out that he was the dupe of somebody. That per- son he firmly believed was Hess and he laid his plans accordingly. h Last night Hess appeared at his rooms in the Palace Hotel and without much formality told Clifton that it would take quite a further sum of money. Clifton ap- parently acquiesced, and invited Hess in. The unwary horseman stesped inside and Clifton immediately locked the door. Calmly rolling a cigarette he informed Hess of his suspicions and that he pro- posed to give Hess a sound thrashing then and there, and he did. When Hess came out his face was cov- ered with blood, his head was full of b""‘&” and his clothes were in a dilapi- dated condition. Mr. Clifton was without a scratch, and that is all there is to the story up to the present time. According to Mr. Hauser, a friend of Lord Clifton’s, and who accompanied him on the famous flying trip, there was no lady in the case. ‘‘Hess induced Mr. Clifton to charter a special car to Stockton to see about some aileged mining property,’” said Mr. Hau- ser last night. ‘“Afterward Mr. Clifton | suspected that his leg was being pulled, and meeting Hess to-day told him to come | to his apartments. When they met there Mr. Clifton told Hess what be thought of him and punished him pretty severely. “But there was no woman in the case; it was a mine,or an alleged mine,” added Mr. Hauser.
