In the political discussion pow going on in that part of the country the unex- pected demand on the part of the New York Demo- crats looms larger than any other single issue, and people are wondering whether Democracy is going over body and breeches to state socialism. Had the plank been adopted by a”convention of S Populists, or of Bryanites, it would have occasioned no remark. The significance ‘of it lies in the fact that was put into the platform by men who are looked upon as conservatives, and was formally ap- proved and ratified by a comnvention that ignored IN THE SAN JOAQUIN. | TARIFF l DEMOTCRATIC candidate for Congress in Athé Sixth-District, in the San Joaquin Valley, is abroad making speeches. His latest and most elaborate effort is devoted to proving that the combine of ‘raisin-growers is not a trust, but a labor union. Californians have not devoted themselves to an afialysis of the means by which the prune and rai- sin growers of this State have sought to so organize their business as to get living prices for their prod- uct. They are producing and handling a perishable product, which in its preparation for market is sub- ject to ‘meny risks. They have millions invested in their business, and ‘its proper commercial ‘organiza- tion is a measure of prudence of interest to.the whole State. No one cares whether this Democratic can- didate calls it a trust, or a labor union, or a Dorcas Society. Its purpose to control the market and get good prices is pleasing to the average Californiana But this labor union, or raisin trust, as one may please to call it, is not the first subject on which raisin-growers l\:a\'c combined: They are all in favor of protection, by a sufficient tariff rate on their product. They did not hesitate®to make their wants and wishes known when the Dingley bill- was in prep- aration, They joined the citrus fruit growers in sending 'a joint committee to confer with Chairman Dingley and the Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee, and thereby secured direct protection on raisins and important indirect protec- tion by a stiff rate on Zante currants. They were and are all protectionists, knowing full well that they cannot hold their conquest of the American raisin market if compelled tc meet Spanish i'aisins, admitted free. Under these circumstances this Democratic candi- date for Congress, while denouncing everything Re- publican, told his fellow raisin-growers that the farm- ers have not enough tariff protection, but need more, and by implication pledged himself to stand for still higher protection on raisins “and other <California products of the soil. If elected, how will he get it? Will he tell the raisin-growers now, while he is a candidate, that the Democratic caucus of the House is pledged not only to tariff protection but to higher protection than is afforded by the Dingley bill? ' The farmers, he says, should have more protection. Will he tell the sugar beet farmers in his district that he is in favor of a higher tariff on raw and a higher differential on refined sugar? Will he assure them that more sugar protection in their interest is the pol- icy of his party? He has orange-growers in his dis- trict. Will he abandon generalities and tell them that his party looks upon their interests with solicitude and will give them more protection than the Dingley bill? Of course he will' not offer any such bill of par- ticulars. He will go on in general terms promising\ more protection to the farmers so as to quiet the ap- prehensions of producers, who know the intimate relation between protection and their prosperity. But suppose, listening to this song of the siren, | they elect him, what ‘will he do to redeem his prom- f ise? What will he have to do to make good the least | part of his protection pledge? In the first place he will have to stay out of the Democratic caucus, be- rency. in the channels of trade, and the amount in cir- culation at the date of the statement exceeded that of the previous month by about gmo,ooo. That has rot been enough to meet the demand of the crop- ‘méving season, but"still'it shows improvement. A complete settlement of the currency problem cannot be attained under our present system, and reform is one of the pressing needs of the time. Nevertheless, we are_going to get over this emergency without dis- aster, and there will be probably just enough diffi- culty in the way of financiers to teach 'them the adyis- ability of urging Congress to enatt legislation in the direction of the needed reform at once. . e e— = The ‘police of <Oaklanid have begun a crusade against street “mashers.”’. An effort of such general value should commend itself at once to the authori- ties of San Francisco. We have too many of this par- ticular species of vermin upomr our public thorough- fares. ¥ AUSTRALIAN ENTERPRISE. - “HILE the drought in Australia has had the Wefiect of making a good many people de- . spondent enough to despair of the federa- tibn and seek to get rid of it by way of lessening taxes, it has had an opposite effect upon others. . The latter class, so‘far from despairing of the federation, seeks to miake use of it to promote the construction of a great railway. which will bring North Australia into speedy communication with the provinces of ‘the south, and thus enable the latter to draw forage from the north whenever there is a deficient rainfall. Consular Reports for October contains a report from Consul General Bray of Melbourne on the pro- posed road, which is designed to run from Adelaide, South Australia, to Port Darwin, North Australia, He says: “The South Australian Government will introduce a measure in Parliament early this session offering capitalists facilities to build this line. * * * Circulars have been issued setting forth the advan- tages possessed by Northern Aystralia for stock- raising. - The drought in South: Australia and.in the hinterland of New South Wales and Queensland has directed attention to the need of pastoral railways to carry fodder and transport the stock to meat works or new pastures.” ] South ‘Australia is not the only province moving in the matter. The report goes on to say: “The Gov- ernment of New South Wales, to assist pastoralists, has declared its intention of extending a line north- westerly from Bourke to the Queensland border, which will become a stage in the transcontinental line. It is the policy of the Queensland Government to bisect. the great lateral trunk lines with a north and south line from the border to Camooweal, which will form another stage.” ¢ It is stated that the country to be traversed offers no engineering difficulties to-be overcome. The total length of the line from Adelaide to Port Darwin will be 1896 miles, and the projectors estimate that when completed it will not only open up Northern Aus- tralia to the larger, populations of the south, but will bring the sotithern provinces 'much nearer to: the world centers so far as. transportation is concerned. The estimate is-that the journey from London via y THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1902.

It approves most of the work done at Sara- toga, the nominations were good and “the treatment of national issues was equally satisfactory— fhe dead was left to bury its dead”; but it shies at the declaration in favor of government ownership of the coal mines, calls it “a bad break,” and says: “That was sheer demagogy, as much out of place in @ Democratic platiorm as the wildest vagary of Bryan or Tom Johnson. It would have been far better to say nothing about the strike than to make this stupid bid for votes.” The Democratic papers of New York do their best to igate the blunder, but nevertheless they con- demn it. The World says: “The ‘plank advocating national ownership and operation of coal mines is an inconsiderate and hasty utterance reflecting the just iignation at the mational menace of a coal Then it adds: “Mr. Hill's blue pencil have canceled this too impulsive response to the exasperated public feeling of the hour.” The Times says: “The platform oversteps wise -bounds in advocating government ownership and operation of the anthracite coal mines, but the Times has for hs been warning the operators that their policy would lead to demands of that nature.” The Chicago Chronicle, looking at the issue at a distance from the scene of the fight, finds no reason for speaking mildly of the matter and frankly de- clares: “The demoralization of political parties ‘is demonstrated anew by the action of the New York Democrats in demanding the confiscation of the an- thracite coal mines ‘by the government'—presumably the National Government. If a Populistic conven- tion in the Far West dominated by Mr. Bryan had ad- vanced this idea it is probable that most of the Demo- crats of New York would have characterized it at once as rank socialism, which it is. The situation in the anthracite region has been very exasperating, but there is no more reason for appealing to socialism for a remedy than there is for advocating the crowning and anointing of a czar at Washington.” It is to be noted in this connection that the Demo- crats have now put forth three plans for dealing with the trusts. The first and favorite is that of reducing the tariff, the second is that advocated by Senator Morgan of using the taxing powers of the Federal Government to impose such taxes on trusts as would crush them out of existence, as State banks of issue have been crushed; the third is that.of government ownership. Such is the sum of the political wisdom of the leaders of the Democratic party, and it is not strange that upon such showing the people refuse to intrust them with the government. e —— Under the stress of the fuel famine caused by the strike in the anthracite mines the price of hard fuel in Boston has risen to $14 a cord and kindling wood to §16, and fiow the thoughts of the people are turning 1o peat. posed by the burst Jists. public famine shou mo: BSota: 45 vy It is noted that none of the smart set have yet re- plied to Watterson, and a, suspicion is growing that they never heard of him, and couldn’t reply to him anyhow unless he first gets an introduction.

HEN the treasury statement for July was Wpublishcd, showing a deficit for the first month of the fiscal year, there was a thrill of hope in the breasts of the calamity howlers. For a time they gloated over a prospect of being able to go before the country during the fall elections shout- ing aloud that the revenues of the country were { diminished; the expenditures increased and the treas- ury approaching bankruptcy. The treasury statistics for August largely dispelled that dream, and now comes the statement for the first quarter of the year showing in place of a deficit a handsome surplus. A summary of the statement for October 1 says: “The first quarterly period of the fiscal year 1903 closed yesterday with a highly favorable showing for the treasury. At the close of the first month of the quarter there was a deficit of nearly $9,000,000. This was reduced by the operations of August to $1,552,- 064. The statement issued for September shows that the excess of receipts for the month was $11,025,583, and for the three months $9,009,009. The receipts having reached a total of $26,225,777, an in- ¢rease of $7,000,000 over the corresponding month of last year. There was also an increase of more than $2,000,000 in internal revenues compared with those for August, although compared with September, 1901, there was a falling off of $2,600,000. For the month just closed the total receipts were $48,580,381, against $44,434,423 for the same month of last year. The ex- penditures for the month show an increase over those for September, 1901, of $5,000,000, and aggregated $37,554,798.” It will be noted that the revenues for September exceeded the expenditures by a sum sufficiently large te entirely wipe out the deficits of the two preceding | months, and the available cash in the treasury was in- creased by more than $11,000,000. The total of that fund stood on October 1 at $221,253,304. Of that $136,124,771 is gold, an increase sine August 31 of $21,467,077. The tetal of the gold’ fund, which in- cludes the reserve and trust funds, is $500,506,825, an increase of $19,204,102 during the month. This is the largest sum,of gold ever held by, the treasury, and it is perhaps the largest amount of gold held in any one place in the world. While money has been piling up in the treasury there has been at the same time an increase of cur- i to practice law,. September business was unusually large, the customs | stances, they are doubtless the best thing to be done. There are times when it paysa community to be bold. Taxes are high in Australia, and the long drought. still continues over wide areas of ‘territory, but nothing can be domne to relieve the situation by standing idle and complaining of fate. The construction of the transcontinental railway will afford a means by which stock men in the future can move their stock to fresh pastures when need comes, and in the meantime the construction of the road will give work and wages to idle men and thus go far to bring immediate. relief where it is most needed: . The authorities at Nome hanged a condemned man a short time ago in an ice-house. They might at least have chosen a warm place and have made the transi- tion of the unfortunate fellow to his next world less abrupt and startling. e e — THE BOGOTA. HE converted gunboat Bogota has sailed from T this port, manned by American gunners and crew, to offer battle to the Colombian rebel craft Padilla. It is supposed that the latter is also manned by Americans, so that fellow-citizens of this country are about to meet in combat, under alien flags. When the Padilla was bought in England, by Sal- ~ador, she was brought out by a British crew. Upon | her delivery the British captain and his men made preparations to return to England. The Salvador Gov- ernment sought to make a contract with them to re- main and continue in charge of the ship. This they refused, and thereupon ‘Salvador made a flagrant at- tempt to detain them by force. It was not known then that the Padilla had been bought for the Colom- bian rebels, but had her English crew remained with her the fight, when she and the Bogota meet, would hayc been between Americans and British. It is supposed that every effective officer and gunner.on the Padilla now is an American. It is a romance of a small revolution that both the Colombian Govern- ment and the rebels against its authority have to come to the United States for effectivé sea-fighters. And it is remarkable that Americans - are readily found for such service at a time when the recruiting stations find it difficult to enlist enough men to man our own warships. o The explanation is probably that men who go into the naval service want action; they .want war; they glory in the rapture of the fight, and so find no in- ducement, in a time of peace, to enlist at home when they can find plenty of fighting abroad. In our navy they can only play “John Cox's traverse” up one hatchway and down another, while, even on such toy fighters as the Bogota and Padilla, they can havg the pleasure of trying to knock each other out of the water. The experiment of their employment is risky, however, for the Colombian Government and the rebeils. Among thes‘e, Americans may be some political genius. who may conclude to put himself at the head of affairs and take pbuessiop of the Colom- bian Government for ‘himself. In such event the two American crews might combine, and, having the whole navy at their disposal, they could speedily change the map of Central America. Out of all the information that has been given con.. cerning the retirement of Speaker ~Henderson the | the @ most gratifying and at the same time most surprising item of hews is that he is not going to New York Islands ‘to his home in -Nebraska.. Mr. Thurston, who retired from Congress in the spring of 1900, was appointed by Pres- ident McKinley as one of the Government directors of the St. Louis world's: fair. e was permanént chairman of the St. uis ‘convention which nominated Mc- Kinley and is regarded as an able and conservative gentleman. His views are sought by the party managers. “Theé time has long since passed when the great West may be overlooked in the matter of framing the Republican plat- form and selecting the nominees,” contin- ued the Senator. “If the West had been fairly treated in Congress and at the na- tlonal conventions we would never have heard of Populists or Pop- ulism. There was a deep seated, firmiy grounded idea preyalent among the Western people—and especially among the residents of the Cen- tral West—that Eastern interests receiv- ed attention in Congress and at the na- tignal conventions at the expense and to the detriment of the. great West, and while I do not think this is true, the feel- ing has existed, nevertheless, It is time now that we demonstrate more specific- ally the untruth of this belief. “If we can put some Western man on the ticket with Roosevelt, 1 believe it will greatly add to our voting strength. Of course there are many good men who would make admirable running mates with President Roosevelt. , Senator Dolli- ver of Iowa would have been nominated for Vice President at Philadelphla two ‘years ago -had President Roosevelt de- clined the place, which at one time seem- ed possible. I see no reason why he would not make as strong a.candidate befere the next national convention. He is a stromg, -able man of wide learn- ing and experience, secured through long service in the legislative halls -at . Washington. We want a man in this position who has the confidence. of the people—a man who has been tried out, as it were—a man whom the people know and whose opinions on public ques- tions aré a matter of record. The Vice Presidency is no longer a place for g dead-and-buried statesman. -We “should have in this office.a man who, if called upon, could fill the office of President to tne credit of himself and the American people.
