EMOCRATIC candidates for Congress in D California run up and down promising pro- tection to voters whose living depends upon that Republican policy, but if they get to Congress they will be merged with the body of their party and will have as little influence upon its policy as the fly on the horn of the ox has upon the cud which. the beast ruminates. Mr. Cleveland, with his characteris- tic courage and stubbornness, has cleared the air by his Morristown speech. He declares that it is the purpose of his party to destroy protection, root and branch. That declaration is by authority. Even the Examiner, which for years has defamed Cleveland, and whose owner has been snubbed unmercifully by the ex-President, is ckarmed into accepting his lead- ership by the Morristown speech. It is evident now that while the Democratic candi- dates for Congress talk protection to raisins and oranges, and are florid and saccharine in their prom- ise by protection to beet sugar to make California “the sugar bowl of the Union,” if elected they will do no such thing.” The inflexible purpose of their party is now just what it was when Mr. Cleveland. sent in his free trade message in 1887 and was defeated thereby in the following year. It is just what it was in 1892, when Mr. Cleveland was elected the second time and brought on a panic that left labor without work or wages and for three years pauperized mil- lions_of American workingmen. The country is under obligations to the ex-Presi- dent for his frankness and his boldness. He illus- trates the difference between himself as the dictator of his party and the small fry who pretend to repre- sent it as candidates for Congress in this State. We invite a general perusal of his free trade speech, and then a comparison of its statements with a few facts. He declared that a high protective tariff defends the American manufacturer against foreign competition, to the injury of the people. Let us take the manufacture of steel rails as an ex- ample and see what has happened as a result of pro- tection.. We select steel rails because no other ar- ticle affects as great a variety of interests.” It con- cerned the extension of American railroads, the economy cf their operation and a freight rate that is carried back to every acre of producing land and to every article of manufacture that needs transporta- tion to the consumer. Prior to 1867 no steel rails United States. In that year were made in the 2277 tons were. pro- ALIFORNIA has 3 greater interest in ithe |duced here. 1In 1868 we made G4st tons, and in 1860 ( Asiatic trade than any other State.

There is no reason why meat on the | loof should be sent ecast to Chicago, Omaha and Kansas City to be prepared for export and then | shipped back for transshipment from San Francisco. | The natural course would be to send it here on the | hoof for preparation und direct export.. Our Califor- nia flour is already taken in appreciable quantities by the China trade. With the extension of irrigation and its application to field farming our wheat supply can be indefinitely increased to meet any demand from the Orient. But to have a profitable advantage in that market it must be accessible. President McKinley and Sec- retary Hay, taking time by the forelock, involved the | aggrandizing Governments of Europe, which were reaching out for territory and zones of influence China, tation California has the first and nearest supply | m n an agreement to preserve the open deor for zll trade. This agreement brought the issue up to China for decision in her arrangement of a tariff,. We secured her good will by our abstention from spolia- tion during the Boxer troubles and by our refusal to loot her by an outrageous indemnity. Then President | to $59 25, or nearly 30 per cent. paid England was $166 per ton. In 1870 the Republi- can party put a duty of $28 per ton on steel rails and by 1875 our production was 259,609 tons, and the price fell to $68 75 per ton, a reduction on the Eng- lish exaction of nearly $100 per ton, saving to Ameri- | can railroads $25,069,000 in price, which without pro- | tection would have been paid to England. The total { saving by shutting out the English and protecting the American rail may be estimated from these statistics of impo-tation of the English rails. We imported in tons of English rails in: 1872, 531.537 1873 857,731 1874 -148,920 1875 . 42,082 1 1876 4,708 1878 .. n Protection to the American railmaker shut out English competition, it is true, but it destroyed the English monopoly that had been fattened by tems of millions of American money paid for high-priced rails. The above figures mark the rise and progress of American steel rail manufacture. It is true that we shut cut foreign competition, but during the | above years the price per ton for rails fell from $120 50 In March, 1885, the Republicarn party reduced the protection on steel rails from $28 to $17 per ton, and in 1887 we produced 2,119,049 tons, and the average price for the next three years fell to $30 per ton! The output in 1887, at the English price before protection shut out for- eign competition, would have cost the American people $351,761,134, but the American price under Roosevelt and Secretary Hay took up with China the guestion of tariff, with the result that great ad- vantages were secured for those articles of which this | country practically monopolizes the supply. Flour is admitted free to China by the tariff just negotiated by Commissioner Sharretts- Though this privilege is general and extends to all the com- | mercial nations it is valuable only to such as have a surplus of wheat. England, France, Germany and Italy have no surplus. They are all importers of wheat to feed their own people. Russia is our only rival, but we are protected against her by the cost of transportation. Russian wheat can reach China only by long transit by rail. We send ours cheaply by water. Indeed the wheat drainage direct from the field in this State need never use a rail. It can come from the valleys hy river, be reduced to flour and loaded directly on ships for the Orient. This State is again made the debtor of Republican administration and policy by the negotiation of this Chinese tariff, so liberal to the products of Califor- mia. It would be strange indeed, and inexplicable outside the State. and a wonder inside, if after all the benefits which have been showered upon this State by fhe Republican party our people should weary of having their bread buttered on both sides and vote to have no butter at all, and but little bread. Tuesday will record the wisdom of California and will make it certain that the people know when they are well off, and do not propose to lose the substance in a vain chase after the shadow. Roosevelt’s proclamation of Thanksgiving comes timely and pertinent to the election. It suggests that the people should vote to maintain the prosperity for which they are to give thanks. If we are going to rejoice over a thing we should not begin by trying to smash it. It is to be noted that comparatively little interest has been taken in the announcement of Lipton's third challenge for the America’s cup. Perhaps the ‘hing is getting to be a little bit monotonous. When the Hungarians refused recently to pay hon- ors to the illustrious memory of Kossuth they taught the world 2 lesson which it was hard to Jearn. Love of patriotism is not yet dead in the world. The Eastern contractors who were caught recently in grossly overcharging Uncle Sam for food sup- plies may be given an opportunity to feed upon fare which does not cost much. Don’t forget to vote against amendment No. 8 on the official ballot. It is a corporation scheme of the worst kind and would cinch the public. Ofly.h&ysmmof_d:dectinmud then we can all get ready for Thanksgiving. protection was only $63,571,470, a saving to us on protected rails of $288,189,664 on one year's output | of steel rails. Now, how can Mr. Cleveland or anybody else fig- | ure out a disadvantage to American consumers result- ing from protection to our manufacture of steel rails | by shutting ont foreign competition? The story of the steel rail may be duplicated in every branch of American manufactures under the polic: of protection. Mr. Cleveland frankly threatens tha{ his party will destroy protection, and the people are boldy forewarned as they were by his message of 1887. The voters of California have the issue pre- sented free of all the cowardly pretense of the repre- sentatives of the party here. Mr. Cleveland does not talk in riddles and will not be a party to the decep- tion of the people. If they want his policy let them buy the pigs in pokes who are pretending to some- thing different. ; : e — Mayor Schmitz told a New York reporter that in California “poker is not a game of chance, but a game of skill, and the State statute so defines it"; and now half the newspapers in the East are inform- ing their readers that we are still wild and woolly. NOW DON'T FORGET. NCE more The Call warns all voters to be- ware of the menace to public welfare em- bodied in Assembly constitutional amend- ment” No. 28, marked on the official ballot as “Amendment No. 8” ‘The proposed amendment is a corporation scheme of the boldest kind, and if it be carried the effects will be far-reaching and disastrous to the interests of every community in the State and to the people as a whole. . Bear in mind that the scheme proposes the creation of a commission to consist of five members clothed with authority te exercise "exclusivc_ jurisdiction” over all the " relations to the public of “railroads, transportation . companies, common carriers, banks, insurance companies, water, gas and electric light and power; telephone companies, telegraph companies and sleeping-car companies and express companies, and of certain services and commodities, howsoever supplied to the public.” Of the five men who are to be clothed with that vast power one is to hold office for two years, one for four years, one for six years, one for eight years and one for ten years. When the terms of the original appointees expire their successors are to be elected for a full term of ten years. The original appoint- ments are to be made by the Governor. trict, therefore, the voters for ten years to come will have no voice in the selection of the commission that is to have exclusive jurisdiction over such necessary public utilities as water, gas and light. In another district the voters will have no voice for eight years, 1and in a third district no voice for six years. There- 3 In one dis- | Yafter in no district will the people have a vote in the election of a Commissioner more than once in ten years. What sort of a scheme is that to propose in a country where the people believe in local seli-gov- ernment by the ballot? 4 Bear in mind, further, that the commission is to undertake the regulation of the whole vast business of public corporations of every kind, from gas com- panies to railroads and from ‘banks to telephones. The commission is to have an unlimited power of ap- pointing deputies and clerks in every county and mu- nicipality in the State, and the Legislature is com- manded by the proposed amendment to provide sala- ries for them all. Finally, bear in mind that the corporations have raised a large sum of mondy to carry the scheme. It was sneaked through the Legislature by trickery. It is to be carried on Tuesday. by suéh resources as cor- poration bosses can devise and corporation coin can procure. If a majority of those who vote on the amendment vote for it the scheme will be successiul. ticular question will not be counted on the issue at all. Don’t forget that the corporations will bring otit tances of the danger. The ‘ameridment { beaten or the State will suffer. P Late reports from France are that the champagne | crop is short, but so long as the New Jersey cider crop is bountiful and carbonic acid gas is cheap there will be no champagne famine to disturb ‘the high rollers who judge wine by the label. W CEINESE ADMidSIONS. E have called attention to the pretense of Mr. Livernash that the party he represents, whatever it is, is the only simon-pure party that the Republican party, which passed the first ex- clusion-law in 1882, has made Chinesc exclusion as { permanent a national policy as protection or sound money. Republican administratiorr of the exclusion {law of this port has been strict and faithful. The best exclusion law that can be made will not exclude unless efficiently administered. The Geary law was the statute of exclusion for 1892 until near the close of the fiscal year 190z. It was enforced here by a Democratic administration oi this port, and by a Re- publican -administration. The statistics of admissions of Chinese under it tell their own story, and measure the decrease in our Chinese population under a Republican administra- tion of that law. The lowest number admitted in any one fiscal year under a Democratic administration was 834: the lowest under the present Republican administratior was 701. The highest number of ad- missions in a year under a Democratic administra- | tion was 2278; the highest under the present Repub- | lican administration was 1510. The average annual admissions for the last two | years under a Democratic administration was 1790; thg average under the last two years of a Republican administration was 1130, So it will be'seen that the i decrease for the last two years of Republican admin- istration has been 1320. The Republican party, ad- iministering the same law, has reduced the admis- sions by that conspicuous and beneficial figure. Un- der the Republican exclusion act, which has replaced mocratic Geary law, a’Repablican administra- tion will still further decrease the-admissiens, so that by rthe operation of mortality ale _time is in sight when Chinese will be a ¢ rips These statistics and facts controvert the strabis- matic statements of Mr. Livernash, whichare doubt- less due to a survival of that candidate’s “muscular insufficiency.” * His party is entitled to the support of all people who want Chinese admitted, under any law, for ‘it so administered the Geary act as to make it a facility in- stead of a bar to their admission. When that law went into the hands of Republican officials for en- forcement the reverse proved to be possible un- der it. The manufactured issue on the Chinese question was devised to help Mr. Phelan to the Senate, and to disst to throw into the eyes of the people to put the Democracy in power. The issue of Chinese exclusion has no opposition in California. No party opposes or for years has op- posed it in this State. ‘It is not an issue between par- ties or between two factions of our people. Its use by Livernash is attempted only to get power that is to be used for quite znather pugpose.” If it succeed, and the policy of protection is reversed, there will be no question about white competition with Chinese wages, for there will be no white wages at all, as was were so hard that even the Chinese starved. pinched and between meals in organizing and extending ‘‘goose lodges.” The new association, which is said to num- promote the amusement and profit of its members who may be afflicted with melancholy.”, Such a club is not needed here, where there is no melancholy, but in the East it doubtless fills a long felt want. The Georgians have decided to place a monument of Alexander Hamilton Stephens in Statuiry Hall at the national capital, and now the sculptor will be in a quandary, for4f he make a big figure it will not look like “little Aleck,” who weighed hardly more than 100 pounds, and if he make the thing little it will not be anything like the figure Stephens made in politics. § R e ST An English newspaper man who lias been traveling in the Mississippi Valley says: “Chicago University absurdities to gain notoriety in the one-cent press.” Chicago is of course indignant, and yet the stories told of those same professors by the Chicago papers sustain the statement of the blarsted Britisher. g i " One of the literary curiosities of the time is the number of new books that are being published about Napoleon. Statesmen, historians, novelists and gentlemen of leisure are all having their say about him and perhaps some day we may get an account of his career that will be somewhere within gunshot of the truth. ~ The country banks of Nebraska are said to be “gorged with money,” so we can easily understand why Bryan has gone outside the State to do his talking. “ 1f you wish to assure the continuance of prosperity vote the Republican ticket straight.

NEW BRITISH CRUISER GOOD HOPE TO GO INTO COMMISSION WEDNESDAY _— o CRUISER GOOD HOPE, A NEW WARSHIP THAT WILL BE ADDED TO KING EDWARD'S NAVY THIS WEEK. THE VESSEL WAS BUILT WITH MONEY CONTRIBUTED FOR THE PURPOSE BY BRITISH SUBJECTS IN SOUTH AFRICA. ks S 5 HE British armored cruiser Good Hope was turned over by the bullders to the admiralty two months ahead of her contract time. The ship was laid down September 11, 1899, and her date of commission has been set for November 5. The wreck of the famous frigate Anson, lost December 29. 1807, off Falmouth, has been found by fishermen in Mounts Bay. The men noticed a strange black object at the entrance to Love bar anad called to his attention the captain of a salvage steamer who sent a diver down. The ship lies In four fathoms of water and is quite intact barring her top hamper, and there ! will be no difficulty in exploring the wreck, which is alleged ! to contain a large sum of Spanish doubloons. The ship, when wrecked, was returning from Curacac, which It had assisted in capturing. and the year previous had destroyed ten Spanish gunboats and a battery. It is, therefore, not unlikely that the Anson may have some Spanish booty aboard. Gray has been selected as the best color for British war- ships, as being less conspicuous, and the German navy de- partment has also adopted that color for its war paint of ships. Destroyers and first-class torpedo boats in the British navy are to receive graded armaments to conform with their size and steaming capabilities. Destroyers of 20 knots' speed are to retain their present outfit of torpede launching apparatus, and those of 27 knots are to have only cne torpedo tube, while the first-class torpedo boats will have their torpedo tubes re- duced from five to three. The Argentine cruiser and practice-ship Presidente Sarmi- ente is again at London on her third extended cruise since built in 1897. The ship and its personnel are receiving high praise by the British journals which compliment the neat ap- pearance and cleanliness of the ship and the sailor-like ap- pearance of officers and crew. The Sarmiente carrles 27 offi- cers, 35 cadets and a crew of 261, and serves in the double capacity of a cruiser and practice-ship for cadets and sailors, A The Austrian battleship Hapsburg has had a very successful trial at sea, developing 19,62 knpts speed, an excess of 112 knots over the contract. She was built at Trieste and is of 8340 tons displacement. Two others identical with the Hapsburg are building at Trieste, and like all other ships in the Austrian navy of recent construction are—unequaled for fine appear- ance, and more than fulfilled cllccu;ktronp of speed.

The fault was found to lie with the center screw, which was too close to the sternpost, and being four-bladed and of excessive diameter, thereby caused shocks at 120 revolutions that sent" tremors through the ship. The diameter of the center screw has been reduced and one of the blades taken off. With this change only one blade will at any time be on a line with the sternpost. The vessel is the fastest of its type afloat. i b - The old Monocacy, for more than thirty-five years stationed in Chiha waters, is at last to be sold. She is the sole sur- vivor of sevem gouble-ender sidewheel steamers built of iron during the close cf the Civil War. The Monocacy was built by Denmead & Son, Baltimore, in 1866, and departed for the Asiatic station in May, 1866, her first commanding officer being Commander S. P, Carter. Of the seventeen officers who first joined the ship only two are still in the navy, namely, Chief Engineer D. P. McCartney, retired in 1892, and Passed Assist- ant Engineer J. W. Saville, retired in 1871. = The others are either dead or have left the service. . The Monocacy has been obsolete and useless as a war vessel for more than twenty-five years and excited the derision of the Chinese, who, until 189, belleved this vessel to be a representative of the United Staies navy and made unfavorable comparisons with the powerful ships of other nations. Her service has been confined to the coast and rivers of China and in winter quarters at Tientsin the greater part of the time. During the Spapish-American war the vessel discreetly remained at Shanghal. During the recent troubles in China the old Monocacy came within range of the Taku forts and the Chinese rebels sent a shot through her bow and smashed one of her boats at its davits. The fire was not returned, as: Rear Admiral Kempff was of the opinion that no war existed between the Chinese and the United States. The career of the Moaocacy is now drawing to a close and she will be missed because she has been the temporary homse of more naval officers than any other vessel in the navy, ex- cepting the receiving ships. The fate of the seven sister ships of the Monocacy class h: been rather inglorious. The Muscoota, Shamokin and Win- nepeg were sold in 1869; the Mohongo, some years in the coasting trade on this coast, and was finally disposed of as old metal, Ler hull being converted into nails and agricultural Xm?lem?ms at the Judson works in Oakland. The Suwanee was lost up north in the Seymour passage in 1870, and the Ashulot ran ashore on the Chinese coast in 1853, a dozen lives being lost in the wreck. sold in 187, ran for D e e R R R SR SR SR 3 employment, PERSONAL MENTION, Judge J.
