Railroad Prospects.

If, as We presume it does, the re-
ported heavy decline in Central Pacific
Railroad stock means also Southern
Pacific bonds, the news somewhat
dampens our hopes for an early COM
pletion of the road to this city. After
the election last Fall, the bonds of the
company declined and were, in fact,
dull of sale at any price. But the defeat
of the Freights and Fares bills gave the
company renewed confidence, and
their bonds advanced Immediately
after the adjournment of the Legisla-
ture. This was CALLING to the Bul-
tetin- CdU and few other papers that
do not want any more railroads built
and would like to destroy those we al
ready have, but the people of Southern
California did not share this feeling.
On the contrary, they regarded the adj
vance in the price of the company's
bonds as an indication that we should
soon have the Southern Pacific branch
completed into the Los Angeles Valley
at least. This portion of the State has
no quarrel with the Central Pacific or
any other railroad company. We need
railroad communication badly, and we
have no objection to the company's
bonds going up to par and selling like
hot cakes. The action of Congress has,
however, more seriously affected the
bonds than did the antagonism of our
State Legislature. Congress has not
been friendly to the Central Pacific,
and the threatened expose of its ac-
count with the Government has in
duced many holders of bonds to dis
pose of them at reduced rates. Our
only hope now for the completion of
the Southern Pacific to this city rests
on an early advance in the price of
these bonds.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-05-29
Free Trade.

That was d sensible thing on the
part of the Oregon Democracy to in
sert in their platform q demand fol
free trade and direct taxation. Free
trade is the doctrine of the masses-it
is the doctrine of all who are willing
that their business should stand or
fall on its merits. The protection
system is simply scheme Tor robbing
the many to enrich the few. The pro-
lection of a single salt manufacturing
company has taken millions of dollars
from the peoples pockets, and put
them in those of q few individuals.
The protection of n few print factories
has cost the people many more mill
lions. The very principle of protective
tariff is the robbery of the many for
the benefit of tho few, Legitimate
trade needs no protection. The cost of
transportation is the only protection
the manufacturers of one locality
should have against those Of another.
If the Sacramento Wooden Mills can
manufacture and ship to this city, and
sell the same article Of cloth at the
same price with the Los Angeles
Mills, let it do so. The fact that it
can do this will prove that the Los
Angeles mill is realizing larger
profit than the Sacramento mill is
willing to work for. If the print
factories. of Manchester can make bet
ter calico, pay transportation on it to
America, and sell it for less money
than the SPRAGUEs or our other local
factories, it seems to us that the peo-
l1e who consume the calico would be
benefited. AS it is, our own factories
make an inferior article~of print, are
protected so that the Manchester
factories cannot bring over their
goods, and the consumers are forced
to pay a higher price for poor article;
while without 'pretection'N they
would be able to obtain better class
of goods. The consumer is thus
wronged on every article that is
protected.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-05-29
Not Far Off.

tits now conceded by the most in
veterate old fogy in Los Angeles
county that the most enthusiastic pre-
dictions made three years since, con-
corning the growth and prosperity of
this city and county, have been more
than realized already; and yet but a
few thousand people have been made
familiar with the undisputed results
of comparatively isolated attempts to
develop the horticultural and agri-
cultural capacities of this portion of
the State. For full quarter of con-
fury the hill. lands of this county,
commanding the most cheerful,
healthful and attractive situations in
the whole country, have laid as idle
wastes, or been used as. second class
sheep-walks; but to-day, threSgh the
sagacity and invincible courage of a
single man, PRUDENT BEAUDRY, they
have suddenly become, what Nature
designed them to be, the most inviting
and winsome openings for homes of
contentment, refinement and luxury
in all this fair land. To those who
have given little heed to the great
work already done to reclaim and
transform these hills from barrenliess
to beauty, and who have not realized
the tremendous Significance of the en-,
terprise just completed by Mr.. BEAU
DRY, this language may seem trife
enthusiastic. These lines are written
for sharper eyes and clearer heads.
The HERALD. now speaks on this
theme to the fore-looking man and
not to the old fogy. The old fogy has
his merits, and his virtues are not
undervalued; but in his hands
the barrenness of the past twen-
ty years would have remained for the
next twenty years, and he would
croak as hoarsely and shake his head
as dismally and shrug his shoulders as
ominously twenty years hence as he
has for the past twenty years, were
the problem of retaining and beau
tifying and utilizing these hills left
for him to solve. On the other hand,
we claim to be perfectly sane and
cool-headed when We predict that the
highlands and hills, hitherto all bare
and unproductive, which environ the
city of Los Angeles, are soon to be
consecrated to beautiful homes of re-
finement and purity, where health
and happiness shall reign, and nature
shall dispute With art in the endeavor
to restore the beauties and fruits of
the long-lost and forfeited Eden which
tradition tells us our first parents
failed to transmit as the rightful her.
itage of their unhappy posterity.
The realization of this prophecy is
not far off. In the light of events
five years from this date, we ask the
doubters of to-day to read and ponder
these lines and then pass Judgment
upon the soundness of this prediction.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-05-29

THE smart ones-those old fellows
who always knew the COW would eat
the grindstone, if she had an opportu-
nifty. are confident President GRANT is
figuring for reelection. There may
be something in the prediction; it may
be possible he would like to be re-
elected, and it is probable he will be a
candidate. But it is doubtful if the
people will support him for another
term. GRANT is one of the luckiest
men in the world; so was JACK SHEP-
HERD, VAsoUEz, Senator SARGENT and
a dozen other men we could name. A
man is always lucky when he wins, but
anything else but lucky when he
loses. SARGENT could not be elected
town beadle of Mud Springs, and
VAsoUEz's star is eclipsed. GRANT
may trust his luck one turn of the
wheel too often. Our advice to him is
not to try it. Let well enough alone.
