THE SAN FRANC ISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1896. 5 PROTECTION SENTIMENT S GAINING THE DAY, California a Dumping Ground for the English Manu- facturers. CONVINCING ARGUMENTS BY FAIR THINKERS. Our Wholesale Houses Lit tle Better Than Peddling Auction Establishments Without a Sound Protective Policy. The political ball—protection for Cali- | fornia industries as against the money is- | sue—which THE CALL started a-rolling, is gaining new impetus daily. Fach) day brings fresh and convincing evi- | dence of the strong sentiment in| favor of a protective tariff as the issue! in this State rather than silver and | gold. Democrats who voted for the low-tariff administration are outspoken in their views and are as ready in the multi- plying of illustrations bearing on the comparative effects of the McKinley and Wilson bills as are the members of the | protection party. | “If we can make the laboring classes understand that the manufacturing in- dustries must be protected to insure them | steady employment at good wages,” say the representative manufacturers, “we can re-establish the protective policy. That is where the hard work has got to be done.”” “Educate the idea that free silver means pockets lined with money out of the heads | of the working classes,” say the whole- | salers and importers, “and they will give | us protection and live better themselves— | the more profitable is business generally | the easier lot will be that of the laborer.” | And so it goes. Example after example is furnished by the several branches of trade and industrial departments showing California’s extreme need for protection. The most indifferent political reasoner is compelled to admit that the industries of | the State have suffered under the tariff policy of the Democratic administration. As one political thinker expressed it Cali- fornia is made to suffer that the East may | prosper, in many instances by the| European manufacturers using the State | for a dumping-ground when the Eastern markets have an extra surplus. Tariff is | the only remedy. A. D. Spearman. “If the present condition of business on the Pacific Coast is not enough to convince | the voter of average intelligence that tariff is the prime issue in California,” said Mr. | Spearman when his attention was called to the position taken by THE CArL, “then there is little hope for relief from the bal- lot-box.” Mr. Spearman is at the head of one of | the leading woolen-mill agencies on the Pacific Coast. “*California is in greater need of protec- | tior, perhaps, than any other part of the | ‘United States. Our manufacturing in- | dustries are at the mercy of the Eastern as | weil as the European manufacturer. This | may seem strange until one takes into con- | sideration_that California is a dumping- | ground., It may not be generally under- | stood, but it is the indisputable fact just | the same, that the manufacturersof Europe protect the import rs of the East and the | principal wholesalers in the big trade centers the other side of the Rocky Moun- tains at the expense of the West. *“When there is a threatening surplus on | haud it is dumped in here. Our so-called | wholesale louses, under these circum- | stauces, become mnothing but peddling auction-houses, The money question is of great importance to us in one way—we want distributing centers. But not as a | volitical issue is it of importance to this | coast. We want manufacturing plants | that will put severa! thousand dollars in-| ulation monthly. That cannot be | done, though, unless we can establish and operate such plants under favorable tariff auspices. Protection for California is | vital. How any man of sound judgment | and good reasoning vowers can fail to see it is beyond my comprehension. I be- he\'i rotection will be really the issue in the East. 3 ‘Mr. Knight of the Marysvide Woolen- who was a delegate to the St. Louis convention, dropped in to see me the other d and during the course of our friendly confab on politics he gave it as his belief that protection would be the real issue in the East and not silver, ‘There has been agrest hue and cry raised about silver, said, ‘but we will find that the main the tariff after all,” and I am pre- pa to pelieve that he is about right. At all events our people cannot close their eyes to the grave need of the local indus- tries for protection.” | | [ Joseph Wagner. The Joseph Wagner Manufacturing Company of 101-3 Mission street is one of tbe largest machinery manufactories in San Francisco. In fact it is practically the only firm that manufactures flour- mills. 2 “l am a firm believer in protection,” said Mr. Wagner, “‘and believe that is the only principle on which the Republican party should stand firm. There is no doubt that the salvation of our industries depends largely upon the relief we get from the protective tariff. “‘Protection is the Californja gospel, and it should be vigorously advacated by its apostles. The sooner we obtain relief the better. If anything I can do or say will tend toward the Republican party’s trinmph in the coming campaign you may rest assured that THE CALL has my hearty and sincere co-operation. “The general depression resultant from the inaction of the Wilson bill has been felt in our business as well as the rest, Prior to that time we manufactured flour- mills exclusively, but have since found it expedient to branch out and include many other kinds of machinery. “Though I am not what would be called entirely conversant with the provisions of the McKinley bill, my knowledge is suffi- cient to warrant me in saying that I do not believe many articles were placed under as high a duty as they should have been. In a high tariff lies our only hope. With it will come a revival of business and consequent prosperity.” Italian-Swiss Colony. Among the largest vineyards and wine- cellers in the State is that of the Italian- Swiss Colony, near Cloverdale, Sonoma County. The company ships wine to the large cities of the United States and Eu- rope, and has agencies in some of the principal distributing centers of Europe. ‘While there are several members of the company who do notjembrace Republican- | the very ism as their politics, the following ex- pression in favor of protection was given out by the company yesterday: “The wine industry is certainly one of those which need protection in California. The tariff is the leading issue by all means, not only on this coast but in the United States, The finance question need trouble our voters but little. If we can compete profitably with the manufacturers and roducers of Europe, and even the Eastern glnles, the money will come to us all right. Yes, we do sell wine in European countries under the present tariff, and we also come in direct competition with the imported wines in the Eastern States. But that is due to merit. “If we did not make a good quality of wines we could not bnope to do much against our foreign competitors. Under the low tariff the winemakers of Europe getina lot of wines of various qualities and we have got to meet their prices or go out of the buswness. It is that condition of affairs which keeps the smaller growers and manufacturers down. They are not ip a position to hold their wines and the commission merchants, being compelled to meet the wines from across the water in the Eastern markets, cannot afford to pay the grower a profitable price for his cellar. It might make some difference if the growers could hold their wines and force a market, but not much. The great need is a tariff. It is by long odds the great issue in this State and THE CaLL's educational campaign should be encour- aged and heartily supported irrespective of party. The successful party must make that the issne.” E. Garnier & Co. This firm deals extensively in native wines, and also does some importing. *The wine industry is a part of California life,” said Mr. Garnier, “and its develop- ment and prosperity depend on our ability to place our wines on sale in the | Eastern markets in competition with the imported goods from France, Germany and Itaiy. The growers are the ones chiefly interested in a protective tariff. The middlemen who handle the product of the vinevards and wine-presses are not s0 vitally affected. Of course there would be more money in their business if the industry was prosperous along all lines, but the grower and wine-maker have no way in which to save themselves. *'If the merchants can’t handle the wine at a profit they cannot afford to pay the grower gnd maker what the product is worth. We are all at the mercy of the foreign competitor, so long as the tariff laws are such that he can lay his goods in the Eastern market at a price less than we can afford to grow the grapes for. There are not a few vineyards in the State that have been dug up within the last two years. Ourland and labor are too valn- able for a man to do anything but lose money in raising grapes at $6 or $7 a ton. If the farmers do not appreciate the bear- ing which the logic of such cold facts has on the tariff question and its importance as an issue to California, nothing eise can possibly convince them. Protection means life of our industries and the prosperity of our people.” Leege & Mill This is the leading chickory manufac- this fall condenuns the country to another period of depression. Every trade, com- mercial interest and indusiry demands protection.” California Italian Paste Company. Editor Call: In revly to your query as to which of the two, the tarlff or the momey question, is considered by the manufacturers of Ttalian pastes in this country 1o be of more importance, we will state that the money question has never been considered a factor in the increase or decrease of our business. What effect a change of standurd may have in the future we are not gl‘epnrcd to discuss. We do know, however, that since the Wilson tariff became a law the number of factories in our line in the United States has decreased, the number of men employed in the remesin- ing factories has decreased and the output has decreased st least one-third, while the amount of imports has increased more than 30 per cent. This article of food is one of the cheapest of farinaceous foods, so palatable and of such health-producing properties that it 18 no longer considered & luxury, buta staple, and can be found on the table of the poor as well as the rich. We cannot therefore attribute the de- pression in our business to hard times. There [ oniy one enemy we can point the finger to and that is the tariff. Previous to the Wilson law we enjoyed n protective duty of 2 cents por pound. This was sufficient to offset the difference in the cost of labor between this country and Europe. The Wilson bill took off this specific duty and substituted an ad valorem of 20 per cent. Whether this ad va- lorem duty means !4 cent or 14 cent per pound depends entirely on the elacticity of conseience before the American Consul as to the original cost of his_merchandise. The importance and extent of this industry throughout the United States is probably little known. There are about 300 manufactories of Italian paste in this country, giving employment to about 4000 men, mostly heads of families, Who re- of the European merchant who makes oath | do not possess, Sissieretta Jones replied: “Yes, but that is different. With me, if I made imyself white, prejudiced people would say was ashamed of being colored.” It is only about five months since the Black Patti returned from an almost trinmphal tour of Europe. She was feted everywhere, especialiy in Paris. [n criti- cal Naples she sang with great success, and in Rome, a city she only pussed through, crowds went to the depot to see the colored singer beg her to let them hear her voice. She was a nine- days’ wonder there, for colored people are a great rarity, and colored singers are quite unknown. . At Monte Carlo the Black Patti ap- peared at five successful concerts in the | Casino, and in London the Prince of | Wales and his brother, the Duke of Cam- | bridge, poth went to hear her sing. “I enjoved being in Europe, but im- portant business compelied us io come home,” said Mrs. Sissieretta Jones. And her husband added laughingly, “And the important business was that she insisted on coming back to America to see her | mother.” | e e — | LAZIEST PEOPLE ON EARTH. Live in » Mountain Range Between the Black ~ea and the Casplan. The dirtiest people in the world have recently been discovered by an explorer in the Caucasus. They live ir an inac- | cessible mountain ranee between the Black | Sea and the Caspian, their village being so snugly hbidden away that no Gov- ernment has yet been able to reach g a ceive on an average $2 25 per day. The raw material is manufactured out of whect raised in this country, it is wrapped in aper made in this country and packed in goxes of home manufacture. You can there- fore see how any legislation affecting us affects as well tne farmer, the paper manufacturer, the box-maker - and the lumber-dealer. That we need protection badly can be easily under- stood when we assert that the labor for which we pay $2 25 per day In this country can be easily obtained in Enrope for 40 cents. As al- ready stated about 4000 families or 20,000 peo- le are dependent on this industry in the Bnitea States, to say nothing of the capital invested. Whether this should be a matter of concern to our ‘ariffi-mekers the future will tell._Yours respectiully, THE CALIFORNIA ITALIAN PASTE COMPANY. Indorsed by the Pacific Paste Company. 5 A SIVER BY WTURE Voice Was First Dis- covered. She Has Appeared With Success Both in America and in Europe. “I can never remember the time when 1 did not sing,” *‘Bluck Patt ,” when questioned yesterday first steps in the art of song. “Iused to sing to myself as a cbild be- ing a little solo ata Sunday-school con- cert at Providence that some peofile said to my mother, ‘The child took a high C; you should let her learn music.’” That was how I came to study.”” Mrs. Jones is a very unassuming young woman, who modestly disclaims being a Patti, even a black Patti. It is a name that a New York paper in an out- burst of enthusiasm gave her, and her agents have gone on musing it be- cause it is novel and attractive. To tell the truth, the young singer is not black; she is just the cark copper tinge thata prima donna should be to play *‘Aida” or “L’ Africaine,” and one can imacine her playing either role with majesty and pathos. She is tall and well-built, with a good carriage, and last night the ease of her movements was accentuated by a loose flowing black silk robe, which by contrast showed how brown her skin was. Round her neck was some tawny-colored lace, fastened with a diamond star, one of the many wifts received from people who have been charmed by her singing. Up to the present the ‘‘Black Patti” has The B'ack Patti Tells How Her said Sissieretta Jones, the in her rooms at the Russ House about her cause 1 Joved music, but it was after sing- them.

PATRIOTIC AND LUCKY. Born on Independence Day She Favors It for All Great Events, WISHES TO DIE ON THAT DAY. But She Hopes That All Fireworks Will Cease on the Day of Her Funeral. Miss Lou E. Drinkall, who was born on the Fourth of July, initiated into the dramatic art on the 4th, and who is to make ber theatrical debut on the 4th, says MISS LOU E. DRINKALL. They possess.no fireplace ncr chimney. All the cooking, in fact, is done over a hole scooped out in the middle of the floor. In these houses men and women and children are huddled together; during the long winter monlhslh?’ are snut in days at a time, the cattle often sharing their quarters. Every aperture has to be closed on account of the cold. This long impris- onment is, perhaps, the cause of the degradation of the people. Horrible dis- eases result from it, which are aggravatea by an abnormal consumption of arruck, BT ed (1 0 tory on the coast and the firm is exten- sively engaged in the importation of teas, coffees, etc. Thomas Haskins, the junior member of the firm, said yesterday: “It is most obvious that California’s vital in- terests are centered in her industries. That means protection. The tariff is the issue in this State ahead of all others, and the voters will see it before the campaign is half over. As a forcible 1llustration, take the article of chickory. With a pro- tective tariff it mifh'. become one of the leading products of the country. Hun- dreds of thousands of dollars would be in- vested in the growing and preparation of the weed and the money that is sent out of the country annually would be kept at home. There was some chickory grown in New Jersey, but the importation of the dried weed ready for grinding, at a low price, made it impossible for the growers to coutinue the production. ““The climate and soil of California are adapted to the luxurious growth of the weed, and if there was tariff protection it would be one of the most profitable de- artments of agriculture in the State. hile I am willing to concede that the tariff is the prime issue in Culifornia, and has a vital connection with our industrial prosperity, I still believe we are interested in the finance question. To make my meaning clear, I'need but refer to the sii- ver mines on our.east. When they were in full operation the cities and towns were well populated. Buildings were in con- stant course of construction, and the lively business of the times gave us a mar- ket for all our natural products and manu- factures. Those markets are closed 10 us now because the mines are closed. This is a strong reason why we should be inter- ested in silver on account of the States en- gaged in its production, though the ff aud protection of our local industries irst and are naturally the prime A Valuabie Opinion. Here is an indorsement of THE Caiv's position that should carry much weight on account of the manner in which it was expressed. The local manager of one of the largest manufacturing establishments in tne United States, with agencies all over the world, who is well and popularly known in business, club and social circles, said yesterday : G5 “I am » protectionist. It is the only issue 1n_ California, but when I explain my position you will, I feel sure, ap- preciate my reasons for wishing to keep my name out of print. Our firm deals with many of the largest establishments in the United States and Europe. OQur business amounts up into the mimom an- nually. “‘Our customers are widespread and have diversified political interests, and it is not wise for the company to offend the opin- ions of its patrons by figuring promi- nently in politics. The incautious utter- ances of one of our managers in a large Eastern city caused the firm to lose one of its wealthiest customers. That is my only excuse for {:iv\ng my opinion in this way. Iam convinced that California is vimry concerned in the tariff. Her business lite depends on_that.issue. .Every voter who 1gnores protection when he casts his baliot SSIERETTA JONES, THE only sung in concert, although a large part of her repertory consists of operatic arias. When asked whether she had not aspirations to appear in opera, she con- fessed that the lyric stage was one of her dreams, but added that there were many difficuities in the way: “I am traveling most of the time, and it would be difficult to study the roles; so much study is necessary to do them well.” And then she hesitated and added, half timidly, that she feared there was another draw- back—she was not of the color of most prima donnas, and some people might be prejudiced against her on that account. hen it was suggested that make-up and wigs can effect marvelous transforma- tions on the stage, the “Black Patti’” shrank back with a deprecating gesture. “*Try to hide my 1ace and den; my own people? Oh, I would never do t{nt, ’ she exclaimed; and with a ring almost of ex- ultation in her :onii' modulated voice she added: “Iam roud of belonging to them and would not hide what I am even for an evening.” In reply to the reminder that while prima donnas who play Suleika and Aida assume an African nationality which they O ~wan o COLORED PRIMA DONN4, the strong distilled drink of the Asiatics, Besides being the dirtiest, they are prob- ably the laziest people on earth.

Aside from that, however, she aspires to the highest refined comedy fame. Miss Drinkall has already obtained recognition by her paintings, which were exhibited at the World's Fair, and has dipped into literature to such an extent that her writings—short stories and poems—have been accepted by the leading magazines of this country. On the 3d day of last July she came to Fred Belasco and stated her intention of becoming an actress. She desired to bezin atonce. He told her it would be impossible to give her an initial lesson until the 5th day of that month. But the will that sometimes accom- panies talent was too strong for Mr. Belasco’s scruples. The consequence was that on the Fourth of July Miss Drinkall 1ook her first lesson in her chosen brofes- sion. So for a year she has been studying dili- gently. Thereare black-and-blue spots, so her sister says, on various parts of her body as a result of the zeal she has exhib- ited in her stage falls. Twelve months of severe training has prought her to that trying period in the lives of all actresses—the debut. Again the will before mentioned has carried the day, and Miss Drinkall will make he first appearance, “‘just for luck’s sake,” as she says, before her numerous friends on her favorite day—the Fourth of July. The stage will be draped with red. white and blue buntings, and Old Glory will be conspicuously dmp\-ycd. Yesterday as she discussed her debut she amid a congregation of fireworks— her bmhdny;relema‘ In tact, her friends dare not profier her any other birthday gift than a bunch of firecrackers or a bundle of skyrockets. ne friend gave her a bunch of ‘“can- non’’ and swears he will set fire to the en- tire pack on the rising of the first curtain. It was even whispered among her near acquaintances that she has purchased bunting herself to decorate the stage on the event of Ler managers not meeting her patriotic demand. Miss Drinkall is a Native Daughter ana comes of a family prominent in Califor- nia. Her father is one of the well-known ?oliticluns of this State. It was her fam- 1y that directed her genius in the chan- nel of art, but nature will out, and on the Fourth of July of her jority she dropped pallet and maulstick for the stave. “It has always been my ambition,” said she, yesterday, ‘‘to bean actress. When a little girl I wouid arrange an impromptu stage in the nursery and perform for the edification of my audience of dolls.” ‘‘Are you married?”’ the interviewer timidly asked. “Yes, married to Fourth of July and the tage,”” answered she, without hesitation. “I was born on that day, and some time—a long, long number of years hence—I hope to die on that day.” It bas been kenerally ackhowledged that the face and figure of Miss Drinkall closely resemble those of the famous Ada Rehan. Ada Rehan has complete mastery of facial expression. In this Miss Drinkall comes into keen competition. Her won- derful knowledge of this art has astonished her professional friends.
