THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUN DAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 189 FREE TRADE RUINS CALIFORNIA FARMERS. ’ It is a well-known fact that the effect of | tha free trade policy of the Democrats as | expio<sed in the Wilson bill has had a disastrous effect in California. A calm stuty of the results by Californians as | Californians, irrespective of their party Yeliefs, convinces the multitude of labor- ersin workshop and field that the one pol- ‘cy that insures prosperity to California is (!1e American.system of thorough pro- tection. All through the San Joaquin Valley and in the rich regions of the Sacramento the farmers and horticulturists know that | there has been a marked depreciation of | farm values and the values of farm pro- ducts under the reign of Cleveland, the | reign that Bryan and Wilson’s other ora- torical companions heralded as the coun- try’s salvation. The man out of a job and the man who cannot sell his products know full well | that free trade in a few important items has ruined their business, and they know, | too, that there would be universal bank- ruptey if the vpolicy of the free-trade | Democracy were applied to anything like 11l of the great staples of the country. It is evident to any one who talks with the farmers of the State and mingles ireely with the great industrial classes, that free-traders are now very scarce: that men who were once sangnine that Clevelandism would benefit the country are now confident that ruin has followed two years of free trade. They know full well that capital has become alarmed and labor discouraged under a brief reign of iree trade, and are beginning to see the wisdom of the Republican volicy, which advocates a stern adherence to American principles. The way that cheap products work ruin | when brought from afar was recently | shown with great clearness by Senator Dolph, who said: “The market in European countries for our breadstuffs at best is a limited one. It is only to supply the fluctuating deficien- | cies in their production to meet their de- | mands for consumption. Many European countries are making systematic efforts to | increase their production by more | thorough cultivation. New regions, where Iabor is abundant and cheap, are being ex- plored and brought under cultivation and made accessible by new transportation lines. The Brinsh Government is aiding | in the construction of railroads in India | 10 open up a market for the products of the rich soil of that province raised by cheap labor, and in other ways is en- couraging increased production. Russia, by better methods and better transporta- tion facilities, is largely increasing her vroduction of wheat. The Argentine Re- publie, with the advantage of cheap labor, | and with a soil and climate adapted to wheat growing, is being settled and placed under cultivation, and is producing an an- nually increasing surplus of agricultuyal products to compete with ours. Africa is being explored and opened to civilization, and her virgin soil may yet be taxed to “The foreign price of agricultural prod- ' supply the wants of European and Asiatic | countries. | Bad Laws. ucts will be determined by the supply from all these sources, competing with our own surplus, and is beyond our power to control. But the home market is ours by right. We can control that. We car, by fostering manufacturing industries home, increase the home demand for agricultural products and by maintaining the vrotective system can save the farmer from ruinous competition at home with the cheap-labor products of other coun- tries."” particularly those of California, now know 1o their sorrow the truth of Senator Dolph’s portrayal. They understand that the destruction of great factories, the desolation of thousandsof Eastern homes, has forced the country to underconsump- tion of agricultural produets, which is one of the chief reasons for duil times in Cali- fornia and all over the Union. The way_ that protection helps farm laborers and the country in general, rais- ing also the wages of mechanics, was re- cently shown in a concise manner by the American Protective Tariff League. They showed conclusively that in 1860, the last year of a revenue tariff, there were 1,311,- 246 persons employeda in manufacturing, mechanical and mining occupations, ac- cording to the census, for the tables headed “manufactures’” then included me- at | The farmers of the entire Union, and | | 100 farmers. Facts Which Show How Agriculturists Fail When Manufacturers Are Hurt by chanics, miners and quarrymen. In 1880 the tables of manufactures, mining and quarryin account for 2,992,793 workers. The number weas about four persons for every 100 of the population in 1860, and about six persons for every 100 of the population in 18%0. In addition to the gain resulting from increase in population there was a gain of 50 per cent in these in- austries, due to the National policy. “The first effect is that for every 100 farm workers there were about 26 persons encaged in manufacturing and mining in 1860, but in 1880 about 40 persons for every Thus was created a doubie home demand for food, as respects pet- sons employed in these industries, and far more than a double demand for materials of farm production. In this way wages of farm labor were raised in spite of an enormous immizration. “The workers in new manufacturing establishments need houses, furniture and all the products of mechanical works. For every mechanic in 1860 there were about two persons engaged in manufacturing and mining; 1n 1880 for every mechanic there were at least three such personsde- manding his services. But that is not all; | a vast number of the mechanics them- | selves found employment in the new manufacturing works, so that the in- creased demand for other mechanical N works fell to a smaller part of the whole number. Thus the demand for mechanical labor not in manufactures and mining was more than double, and the wages of mechanics were thus advanced. “Finally, the development of manufac- tures and of mining employed 1,700,000 persons who were notsoemployed in 1860, and who, but for that development, must have sought woik in mecnhanical trades or in farmin Had half of them gone into farming, increasing by more than a tenth the number of farm-workers, must not that have depressed the wages of farm labor? Had the other half gone into me- chanical trades, increasing by 80 per cent the number of mechanics, must not the depression in wages of such labor have been severe? “Thus it is that the increased demand and increased wages for labor in one ce- artment have affected with incalculable Ele!smg labor in every other department of industry. And so a free-trade policy, by closing thousands of factories, mills and mines which protection has opened, and turning out of employment workers numbering a million or more, compelling them to seek work in flrmin% or in me- chanical trades, must cause a frightful de- pression in the wages of all labor.” It is such facts as the foregoing that have led many thoughtful Democrats to abandon Cievelandism and embrace the sound doctrines of protection, the history of which shows that progress is its un- erring companion, It is this quiet reac- tion of thought in the minds of the masses that promises to make William McKinley the next President of the United States. When the people fully understand the extent to which the great agricultural classes are dependent upon the general prosperity of other classes, and that artisans and the general population can- not prosper nnder free trade, the advo- cates of that doctrine in America will be as rare as the friends of any other ancient, exploded cause. POPULISTS FLOCK 0 MkINLEY They Want Protection, | Sound Money and | Prosperity. ‘ TIRED OF THEIR PARTY. Men Who Figured Prominently on the People’s Ticket Last Election. ARDENT REPUBLICANS NOW. J. B. Robinson and B. K. Collier, Once Leaders of Populism, Tell Their Stories. The Populist leaders are deserting their camp. They will have no more of Popu- lism. They have felt the power of con- viction and are now ardent supporters of McKinley and the power behind him— protection, sound money and therefore prosperity. Men who no later than two years ago went through the heat of a political cam- paign as candidates on the Populist ticket have foresworn their allegiance to the Populist party. Fusion and free silver proved too much for them, so they are Re- publicansfighting under the banner of pro- tection, sound money and prosperity. One of the m notable of these trans- formed Populists is J. B. Robinson, the chimney-pipe manufacturer on Market street, who was a very formidable candi- date for Supervisor on the Populist ticket two vears ago. He declares that it isa priceless privilege to vote for McKinley. Discussing his stand in favor of Republi- canism, yesterday, he said: “Two years ago I was a candidateon the Populist ticket for Supervisor of the Twelith Ward and polled a vote of nearly 13,000, the largest number of votes of any mai f!e of course polled enough votes to elect him. “‘Now, I'm out for McKinley, for protec- tion and sound money. Don’t forget that —protection; that is the main issne. I came from a manufacturing district, Can- ton, Ohio, the same town as Major Mc- Kinley comes from. We had plenty of work there, and good wages under protec- tion always. I was foreman aud superin- tendent of one shop there for thirteen years, in tbe employ of one firm. There was a change of at least 25 per centin wages, as one of the results of breaking down protection. “When I beard that McKinley was nominated I telegraphed him that after- noon my congratulations, and told him that the country would baye a Christian President, because he is a thoroughly good man, and 1f ever there has been a more beautiful or more noble man before the people for the same length of time as he I'don’t know it. He has been in poli- tics over twenty years, and there is not a black spot on him. Afteritall I don’t be- lieve he is worth more than $20,000. “Bryan, I suppose, is also a good man personally, but when he has undertaken to give us free trade and free silver he has iven us a dose that we cannot swallow. e have had an experience in that line, and I think we should have them in homeopathic doses, 1f at all. “I neard Major )fckinley make his first political speect. It was at a flag presen- tation in Canton. To sum up, I consider it a great privilege to vote for a man whom 1 know to be so pure and so clean as he.” Another ex-Populist who has joined the ranks of the Republican party is B. K. Collier, the attorney. He was one ot the most enthusiastic Populists in San ¥ran- cisco, and received the nomination for the Fourth Congressional District two years since on the People’s party ticket. But he wants no more of the Populists. He ex- lained his reasons for changing as fol- ows: “] am going to support McKinley right through, and I have very good reasons for it, too. “The Republican partyand the People’s party in the South are the only parties that either desire or endeavor to have a | free ballot and a fair count, and the Demo- cratic party in every Southern State is owned and controlled by a lot of ballot- | box stuffers. In 1892 the National Repub- lican Committee assisted our ticket botn with funds and with speakers, and it showed me that at leastin the South the Republican party was anxious to have a fair count. - “In November, 1893, I came to Cali- fornia, and in 1894 made the campaign against Shannon and Maguire on the People's party ticket. I've read the plat- forms of all the parties and am fully con- vinced that the present standard of money should be n:aintained, as I cannot sce how the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 will give employment to the idle people in this country. "I think Mr, McKinley | for no man can get money unless he earns | on the ticket, except Mayor Satro. | struck the keynote when he said that ‘we need open mills rather than open mints’; | it, and no man can earn it unless he has an opportunity to work, and the idle people ! of this country will never get work unless high tariff. “I consider that Mr. Bryan owes his nomination to Southern Democrats, and 1 If the Democratic platform were enacted into American industries are protected by a | | be doubtless, if elected, would be under | their influence and their control. THE STRANGE MEN OF MARS law we would simply go one step further toward free trade, and free trade is some- thinz that every American should vote sagainst. 1 decided over four months ago 10 support the Republican ticket on ac- count of its high protective ideas, and long before I ever knew that McKinley would be nominated. Now that McKinley is nominated I feel it is the duty of every American citizen to support the Republi- can party.” DURRANT'S APPEAL. He Will Be Allowed to Kemain in the County Jail Until the Supreme H Court Takes Action. | Chier Justice Beatty of the Supreme | Court yesterday issued the following writ | | of probable cause in the case of the people | against William Henry Theodore Dur- rant, now under sentence of death for the | crime of murder in the first degree: I, W. H. Beatty, Chief Justice of the Su- | preme’ Court of the State of California, do | hereby certify that in my opinion there is probable cause for the appeal of said defend- | ant in the above entitled action. W. H. BzarTY, Chief Justice of the Suprems Court. This little document means much to the young man adjudged guilty of ‘‘the crime of the century.” It means that pending his appeal he will not go to San | Quentin, and furthermore, acts as 2 bar to | all furtuer proceedings in the lower court | in connection with the case until the ap- | peal shall have been decided. Itiscon- sidered probable that the appeal will be heara by the Supreme Court at its ses- sion in Los Angeles next month. HORACE GASQUET'S COIN, to the Children of Joseph Kahn. Romantic Story of the Fortune That Rewarded the Kindnesses of a Friend. Horace Gasquet, a storekeeper of Del Norte County, who recently died at St. Mary's Hospital in this City, leit a large estate, over a portion of which there will probably be a great deal of litigation. Gasquet accumulated a fortune during the last twenty-five years as a dealer in general merchandise at Happy Camp and Central City, and during that time wasa patron of the firm of Porter, Slessinger & Co. of this City. Believing in their hon- esty, he was in the babit of depositing }wx’th them large sums of money, prefer- ring that they should handle it rather than deposit the money in bank. | In January last Gasquet fell il! and was brought to San Francisco for treatment. At that time he had on deposit with Porter, Slessinger & Co. $25,200. Gas- quet subsequently died and when the ex- ecutors of nis will sought to obtain the money they found it had been drawn by Joseph Kahn, a member of the firm, to whose care the coin had been intrusted. The Probate Court of Del Norte County issued a citation commanding Mr. Kaha to explain the matter and the explanation was made yesterday before Judge Coffey. It seems that Kahn was the favored member of his banking firm in Gasquet’s eyes and that when the storekeeper made his annual visits to San Francisco he was in the habit of dining at Kahn’s residence and accompanying his host to the theaters and other places of amusement. At the Kahn domicile the countryman became acquainted with Percy D. Kahn, the 19- year-old son of the shoe merchant, and with Fannie, his 12-year-old daughter. On the stand yesterday Mr. Kahn pro- duced a letter dated January 12, 1896, | written 1mmediately after Gasquet arrived | at St. Mary’s Hospital, asking him to call and see him, as he was very sick. Kahn testified that he did so and that he made his old friend as comfortable as possible and procured several pnysicians for him. Gasquet the next day, so Mr. Kahn testi- fied, said he was not satisfied with his will, made some time previously, and that he wanted to leave something to Kahn's chbildren, of whom he was very fond. The result of the conversation was that on January 14 Gasquet signed a check on Porter, Slessinger & Co., drawn in favor of Joseph Kahn, for $25,200, the total sum he had on deposit. This check Kahn sub- sequently cashed. The Del Norte County heirs assert that the money does not rightfully belong to Kann or his children and are making strenuous efforts to recoverit. The hear- ing of the matter will be continued on Thursday rext. —_— Professor Griggs’ Lectures.

I have no doubt about it. “Besides this I examined Mars through the telescope a good deal and distinctly saw the canals discovered by Schiapparelli. | They were very plain. The idea is that | these canals were made to conduct the | meiting snows irom the polar regions for purposes of irrigation. Professor Lowell is a firm believer that by human intel- gence these canals were constructed and of course believing this, he believes firmly that there are men in Mars. “Mars, yon know, is one of the nearest of all the planets to the earth.

CLEVELAND, On10, Sept. 5.—The Painesville trestle, thirty miles east of here, is 300 feet high and a mile long, with a single track elec- tric-motor raiiroad. Officials will station men at each end to keep truck clear for relay. The courier crossed the trestle and arrived at Painesville at 1:50 P. M. PAINESVILLE, OH1o, Sept 5.—Couriers on Painesviile division are doing wonders in spite of rain and muddy roads. They have covered the eleven miles to Madison, including a long and steep hill, in 35 minutes. ASHTABULA, OHIO, Sept. 5.—Bond’s time from Geneva to Asutabuls, ten miles, was 33 minutes. Roads were vile. The courier had ross a new bridge building at Say- brook, and took a header just before reaching relay station here. Elwell, substitute, came in ten minutes later. He fell twice and broke two spokes. BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept. ninth district. Raintin shape. Left Erie at 7:05 P. 3. reach Rochester about 7 A. M. Major McKinley, in delegating James R.

The officials of the Cleveland and Painesvilie electric road were amazed at tne daring scheme. Many people assembled at the gorge whicn is bridged by the trestle to see the riders, When midway on the trestle Gif- ford fell, but the trailing courier passed on. Gifford then recovered himseif and the two crossed safely. Rochester, 300 miles from New York City, will bg reached early this morning. The packet is still behind the schedule time, but should arrive at its destination early to-morrow morning. LI WILL NOT COME. The Chinese Viceroy Will Return to His Home by Way of Canada.

He is a true specialist, one who reflects honor and dignity upon the profession to which his life is devoted. His long and brilliant record in hehalf of suffering humanity en- titles bim to take rank among the leading medical lights of the world. He is to America what Sir Astley Cooper was to England, Ricord to France, Koch to Ger- many or Roentgen to Austria. The deep knowledge and expert skill of Dr. Cook is universally recognized, and is now being fully appreciated by the sick people of San ¥rancisco and throughout the Western United States. Among the vast multitude who have re- cently sought ana secured relief from this noted healer are many who had for years struggled in vain against the ravages of disease; many upon whom other doctors had repeatedly experimented and repeat- edly failed; many who had given up all hope of ever again being blessed with sound health, but who after receivinga few weeks of careful attention from Dr. Cook feel that they have been complately rejuvenated and given a new lease of life. A glance at Dr. Cook’s voluminous file of testimonials shows that people afflicted with all sorts of special diseases have been cured by him. Some were suffering from ailments of the eye, ear, nose, throat or brain; some from diseases of the heart, lungs, liver, stomach, kidneys, bladder or urinary organs; some from drains, irrita- tions, stricture, syphilis, blood impurities, varicocele or hydrocele; some from piles, fistula, rupture or chronic catarrh; some from the most aggravated forms of female complaint.

It is distinctly of his own origin or discovery, and is the re- | sultof a lifetime of hard work and per- sistent study, diligent research and scien-! tific investigations in this and foreign lands. It is purely vegetable in its compo- | sition and perfectly harmless in its effect. It does not stimulate temporarily, but re- stores permanently. During the past twelye months it has been tested on more than five thousand young, middle-aged and old men, who, as the result of errors or excesses, were tortured by the woes of sexual debility, deformity or decay, and its success has been hut little less tban miraculous. It never fails; even in the wors¢ of cases, to bring back manly power | and to remove every trace or symptom of weakness.

Every person who applies to his office for treat- ment consults Dr. Cook himself, and no one else. He goes thoroughly into each individual case and carefully follows it | throuch every stage until the patient is | completely cured.
