President Larue's advice was sound. For
example, certain banks in San Francisco |
have been loaning money to farmers at |
six per cent. interest, provided the wheat
which was used as collateral security was
warehoused at Mission Rock. At the
same time the banks in the interior of the
State declined to loan upon wheat stored
in their neighborhood at less than ten per
cent The cause of this difference is ap-
parent Wheat stored at Mission Rock
is always within reach. It can be put on
board ship without any loss of time. 1t is
in fact almost as conveniently situated as
if it were already on board ship. And
charters for such wheat can be procured at
lower rates than tor that stored in the in
terror, and which has to await the convent
ence or exigencies of railroad transporta-
ton. But San Francisco is not the best
place for warehousing grain. A serious
drawback to it is the municipal tax of s. 25
per cent, which must be paid upon
all wheat in store when the Assessor
comes round. The same objection applies
to Stockton and to Sacramento, only more
strongly, because the municipal tax in
these cities is still higher than in San Fran
CISCO To the banker, however, the Sc
curity and advantages offered by Mission
Rock would be offered equally by any
point which afforded the same facilities for
prompt shipment. The object of the
farmer, therefore, must be to find point
at which facility of shipment exists, and
municipal taxes do not exist. That is the
ideally perfect place of storage, and these
Joint advantages are supplied by the
Straits of Carquinez, say at Port Costa for
example Here there are 10 municipal
taxes, and at the same time wheat can be
put on board ship with the utmost expedi-
ton and convenience. It's clear then. that
hefarmerwho stored his wheato the Straits
could claim from the San Francisco banks
the same terms on loans as have been con-
coded to those who warehoused their grain
at Mission Rock, and that together with
the low interest the producer would
gain immunity from the municipal
tax. Consideration of these facts
tends to show how heavy must be the
annual losses of the wheat growers unless
they can combine for mutual protection
and assistance. The problem to be solved
is how to secure warehouse room al tide
water, and beyond the reach OF municipal
taxation. If that problem can be success
fully solved it will make a difference of
from three to six per cent. on the value of
the crop, and that aggregates an amount
very well worth saving.

ms. wAssoN AND HIS HOSPITAL BILL.

EDS. RECORD Z MON : l am obliged for the
friendly tone generally of your comments
this morning upon the bill to establish q
miners hospital. etc. AS this is not the first
time, however, that the leading press of the
State has found certain objections to the same,
I feel justified il setting the matter right. az
I understand it. No one can deny the good
motive or object involved. It was my inten'
ton, in the first place, to secure
the carrying cut of the project
through a direct tax upon the mining
interpretations or products of this State, in
connection with small tax on the miners
individually, after the manner in which the
United States marine hospitals are sup
ported; but the moreI investigated the suo-
ject in connection with the present Constl-
tuition of the State on the score OF class or
special legislation, the more | got out OF pa
thence with it, and so turned the matter
of drafting a bill to an acquaintance
in want OF work, and the result is the
present bill. 1t may serve as a framework
or starting point toward the establishment OF
the institution l had in mind, but with all the
boosted generosity Of our numerous mining
nillionaires, | have my doubts as to whether
they will do anything in the way outlined or
limited at in the bill, for the better care Of
the class upon whose shoulders they have
climbed to fortune, if not fame. If the blll
should pass they can easily carry out
its provisions but we'll see what We'll
see. Deep or vein mining is but in it's
infancy in this State. and yet there Is
scarcely day that the telegraph does not report
a man killed or crippled. The unfortunates
who survive are generally unable to secure
proper attendance. even If it can be had IL

others as poor as themselves. Hence a general
hospital, well sustained, would serve the

marine hospitals provide for poor Jack"

appear that the English press or people have
discovered any indications of a Fenian
rising The natural presumption, fortified
by previous experiences of the kind, is that
the panic is false alarm. and one of the
strongest Qualifications of this belief con-
sists in the circumstance that the press has
shown no knowledge or apprehension of
any such movement For the press is
Argus.eyed. Its correspondents and re-
porters are everywhere, and it is their
special business to find out everything.
So ubiquitous are its agents that the mere
possibility of a secret and widely extended
organization such as is limited at, existing
without discovery, is incredible. In fact
the case reminds US of Hume's argument
against miracles, that it is far easier to sup
pose the alleged witnesses were deceived,
than to accept the verityof their assertions.
So it is far easier to believe that the Gov
eminent has been hoaxed than to believe
that the press has been hoodwinked 1t is
quite possible that there may be Fenian
plots in agitation here and there 1t would
be natural to expect them at such time.
But that they are widespread; that they
include England as well as Ireland that
they are formidable l.; does not appear likely
or credible. The Government is no
doubt nervous, ana especially anxious not
TO afford instruction chance to raise its
head but precautions against unreal dan
gers are apt to make men careless OF real
ones, and the cry of I" Wolf Wolf" has
often in actual life the same results as are
depicted in the fable.

CANT licenses who coolly solicit the aid of
the peoples representatives to bind the
people down to pay extortionate prices in
perpetuity.
California is in many respects dear
State to live in, and it is so because of the
greed and the selfishness of its traders.
With regard to many of them, it must
still be said that whenever they can they
charge pioneer prices. There are certain
staples which are not dearer here than else
where, but large class of goods is still
held at rates which have long been out of
all reason. There is no Justification for
this condition of things, but it is clear that
it viii not be reformed until the people
themselves, by encouraging the freest pos
sible competition, have conquered the
cheap markets which they have right to
insist upon. Of course anybody has the
right to charge excessive prices so long as
the public are left free to buy where they
choose, That condition of perfect free
dom, however, is essential, and must never
be surrendered. Whenever, therefore, any
legislation is proposed which has for its OBJ
iect the building up of some local interest,
it should be remembered that the public
are not interested IN that kind of under
taking half so much as in securing
all they need in the most economical
way. Local interests which cannot live
without charging four or five prices for
their products ought not to live. There is
clearly no demand for them, since what
they make can be obtained cheaper else
where. Ii, therefore, capital is forced out
of them it will find its way into enterprises
which can stand fair competition, and
yet repay the investor and these are the
only enterprises the establishment of which
really helps State or country. What is
needed in California to-day IS a sharper
competition than we have yet enjoyed,
and one which will sweep away the last
relics of the old period of high prices and
great profits. Such change will inciden.
tally kill the gambling spirit which has
always been so rife here, and teach men,
not only to apply themselves to steady
industry, but to content themselves with
moderate gains Before such an era can
dawn, however, there must come a full
realization of the truth that protection to
particular industries and interests is
robbery of the public generally, and that
no competition can possibly be too free
and full for the good of the community

That is curious story of the Lieutenant
who is said to have died from Inflammation
of the brain superinduced by bite from
spider, received when he was a cadet at
West Point. 1t is stated that the insect
crawled into the lads ear while he was on
parade, and that because regulations did
not allow him to put bis hand up to relieve
himself, he endured the torture until the
parade was over If this story be true we
fear it will have to be acknowledged that
this victim OF military discipline could not
have had much brain to be inflamed. A
boy who would allow spider to get into
his ear, no matter where he was, and who
was too much afraid of breaking rules to
relieve himself in such situation, must
have been but little better than an idiot
