A COMMERCIAL VIEW.

The San Francisco Commercial Herald
and Market Recier, which is one of the
most conservative of papers, and generally
treats of matters and things only from the
commercial point of view, says that the
best interests of the State are threatened
by the unchecked process of hydraulic
mining 1t adds that the commercial
bodies, which should be foremost in action
to prevent irreparable damage, have been
the slowest. 1t says:
They all have common interest-the presery-
alton OF the river channels and the bay to com
merce. The evil will grow worse every year. 1t
IS only now, with some rains in the mountains
that the river boats have been able to get up to
sacramento, and there they had to unload their
cargoes on barges Even if an acre of agricult-
ural land were never injured, the keeping open
OF navigation is worth millions to all the places
mentioned. Mayhap some very conservative
merchant may fear to ALLEVIATE the miners and
the trade OF the mining counties But we tell
them that IN this there is no war made against
mining as such. San Francisco, Sacramento
MarysVllle, all have arisen through mining
ana IN their early history were par erceLlelce
mining towns. They retain the old love still

them, as attendance on more than one ma
chine, they rarely manifested any desire to
accept it, notwithstanding it brought with
it commensurate reward Their fear APP
pears to be that the additional industry
asked for, while it may for the time being
be rewarded by additional 'pay," is only
means to ascertain their capacity for addi-
ticnal duty, to be followed by reduction of
the wage to the original figure, while re-
tanning the new duty as a part of their
daily labor. But in the case of the white
laborers additional duty, within capacity,
accompanied by additional reward, always
brought cheerful responses. Natural am
bition among these laboring side by side
caused an emulation that resulted faver~
ably both to employer and employed.
The great end among she white opera
tives is TIE amount of money earned, and
the desire is constant to make 1t as
large as possible. Thisrenders their labor
more profitable to the employer, as1 the
cost OF production is shus reduced an pro-
portion to the extent of the same 1t does
not appear, from the report, that it sug-
gessed itself to the company that "a reason
for the popularity of the Chinese laborer
is, that in the majority of eases he is a
slave to all intenss and purposes. He is
earning wages, no. for the purpose of graft

cal desires, but BE is working for the patel'.
Ja,nilias back in China He is laboring
under the stimulus of superstition that
his eternal salvation depends upon his
obeying a cruel and merciless law of the
family, that holds him in bondage from
which there is less hope of escape than was
open to the slave at the South, since death
at least freed the latter. The whole sub
ject may be said to be contained in the
simple statement that slave labor never
was and never can be as profitable as free
labor, and the Chinese coolie is slave of
the most AFFECT class, and most servile con-
dition

IN FAVOR OF WHITE LABOR.

The California Jute Mill Company, in
response to questions sent to it by a Con-
gressional committee, has made report
that is of more than passing interest, be-
cause such rarely come from manufacture
ing sources. The company was asked its
opinion upon the question of the efficiency
of races in employment-whites and Chi
nese. 1t has been generally supposed, from
the small wage the manufacturer pays to
the Chinese operative, that he would be
found excusing himself for employing him
on the ground of the necessity arising
from competition and the economy of his
labor, as well as his tractibility and the
reliance that can be placed upon him as a
steady worker All that is old argument,
and pat in the mouths of most manu-
facturers. But, in the present instance,
we lind a manufacturing employer report
ing adversely to the employment of Chi
nese, as compared with white laborers, and
giving substantial reasons for its action.
In brief these are: The company sue
oeeded one of similar title that failed,
after twelve years experience, because of
low prices and want Of enterprise That
company employed Chinese, some GOO, with
few white bosses. The successor COM
pany resolved to eliminate Chinese labor.
as far as it could, and test the economy of
1t by employing efficient white hands For
time it was handicapped by the inexpe-
rience of the laborers-young women and
boys of California. But within two wears
they have been educated up to the proper
standard. They are now steady, efficient
operators. A great difficulty with which
the employer had to contend was the lack
OF skilled labor market from which to
draw, and the consequent risk of the
hands leaving after having been taught,
but this was overcome by selecting those
showing the greatest aptitude and expert
ness, and making it pecuniarily to their
interest to remain-that is, we assume, by
making capacity the measure of ample
reward. The decadence in wages generally
was factor in favor of the experiment, for
according to former schedules the company
could not have employed white labor at all
IN competition with the cheap labor of
Calcutta Finally the company found it
self placed with about one-half of white
and one-half of Chinese laborers in the
mills. 1t was thus able to test the value
of each class of operatives. Under these
conditions the Judgments reported deci-
dedly in favor of the white labor, for the
reasons that it is the more profitable, and
is the more easily handled. The Chinese
it sgas found had to be spoken to through
their own boss or Interpreter; were dull,
cared less for their employers interests
and were less clearly. If their wages were
so cents day they cared only to do labor
sufficient to earn exactly that amount, no
matter how easily their daily wage might
be increased by extra industry. 1t was
found that if additional labor was put upon

Culpable CareIessness.

EDS. RECORD UNION: Some three weeks
ago some unthinking parties cut bee tree
about mile east of this place, and started
fire. 1t spread in the woods, and it cost
the railroad company and the populace
much labor and anxiety before it could be
subdued. 1t came near burning ND a lot of
wood, shakes, lumber and houses, to saw
nothing OF the destruction of property had
it got INTO the snowsheds, which at one time
were III imminent danger. Only last night
some parties unknown cut bee tree some
four miles east of Emigrant Gap. about
four hundred feet from the snowsheds in
an air line, fired large cedar tree. and left
1t burning. BY dint of perseverance a. l..
Rabe, with his railroad force, assisted by J
Ashburn and party, succeeded, after it had
spread over quite an area, in getting it sub
dued. Had a slight wind prevailed from
the south the sheds could not have been
saved. only two years ago parties here
lost hundreds of cords of wood bv the
carelessness of a party having fire out.
1t Is getting 10 be too common for bee-tree
cutters, campers, stockmen and tramps to
start fires, and go off and leave them burn
ing. Please tell us in your columns where
the remedy lies. Is there no law against
1t, and what the penalty? Essay.
Emigrant Gap, October 8, 1885.
There is remedy. The District Attor-
ney OF your county will be able to point it
out to you. There is certainly civil
remedy for such culpable negligence and
disregard OF the rights of others. No one
has right to fire forests, or either to burn
timber on his own land so as to endanger
the property of another.-[ED RECORD

The action of the City Council on
Thursday night gave evidence Of con-
siderable undertow of political sagacity
and skillful maneuvering. The majority
acted as if they had but some s., 900 left
to the credit Of the city, aud when that
was expended the city bad to be wound
mp. A bill was pending in the Legis-
lature to permit the City Council to
borrow $40, 900 to bridge it over it's finan-
cial rapids until the first of July. 1t
had already passed the House by a
large majority, and the full intention
seems to have been to rush it through
the Senate on Tuesday. For this pur-
pose, an uncalled-for show of poverty
on the part of the city seems to have
been kept up apparently for the purpose
Of rushing the bill through. 1t is true
that the situation looked rather alarm.
ing with only 5000 in the treasury,
with twice or thrice that amount
that had to be met, but there
was no real cause for alarm. The cash
in the treasury did not represent the
amount of appropriations. They were
not exhausted and as long as this was
the case there need have been no hesita-
ton in drawing orders for interest,
the sinking fund, nor even for miscel-
laneous expenses ii the banks were
willing to honor the order, which they
always have been in the past. The
charge against the City Councilmen
and Treasurer is for overdrawing the
appropriations, not an overdraft in the
treasury.
So long as the appropriations are not
exhausted it is evidence that the money
due the city in taxes have nor been
paid, that is all. If the appropriations
have been made to exceed the revenue
of the city then indeed would there bt
reasons to fear q financial crisis. -Four
years ago the City Council, then politi
cally as 1t is now, had no hesitation in
drawing upon an empty treasury. Had
1t stopped there it would have beer

not believe that it is advisable to over
