mated the term boycotting,n has been
appointed agent for the Flixton Hall es-

/ Curiously enough the girls find the chief
supporters of the Chinese among their own
sex. Ii the women of this coast would
cease unfolding the Chinese and pleading
Tor their cause, the end of Mongol labor
would soon arrive.-[Carson Appeal.
As experiments multiply it becomes more
apparent that strikes are no remedy for the
wrongs of labor. The great strike of rail
road employees in the southwest is practi-
| cally ended, and has proved worse than
total failure.-[Mounta Messenger.
We are determined that there shall be
handsome display of our products at the
next State Fair, and while our people are

rived Observation-Disclosures Transcript.
If the boycott is not made to work evenly
1t will degenerate into a mere machine for

| The fruit-picking problem is to be solved
only by the settling up of the fruit country
with peasantry adapted to the soil, each
tied to his location by little patch OF land
OF his own, which he may cultivate when
he is not laboring for others and add to by
industry and thrift. Such population
would give steady, and in time abundant,
supply of the labor needed, and would GUST

| The Trinity Journal, speaking of flags OF
other countries being carried in our ami
versary professions, SAYS When foreigners
clothe themselves with American citizen
ship and accept the benefits and protection
Of our Government, let them also accept
the American flag-the most beautiful en-
| blem of nationality on earth-and rejoice
that their lot has been cast beneath the
protecting folds Of the Stars and Stripes.
The San Jose Mercury, summing up the
results of the recent election in that city,
says: The majority Of go against high
| license ought to be reflected upon by the
temperance people of this city. There
were among the l Jos votes in favor of high
| license great many ballots deposited by
people who would not vote for prohibition
or any other extreme measure. But the
| proof is afforded by the result that even so
comparatively moderate measure as high
license, which many believe to be an ad-
vantage to the best class of persons engaged
| in the liquor business, has only minority
| following in San Jose does not prove that
| there is any disposition to longer tolerate
| low, disreputable dives
Says the Spirit Of the Times: THE Re
| publican party must make no mistakes in
| the coming campaign. 1t is said the prime
| object that some have in view, in holding
an early Convention, is to get ahead of the
| Democrats in the boycott plank in the
| platform. Should the leaders of the Re
| publican organization be so short-sighted
as to insert pro-boycott plank in the
| platform, to be adopted by the Convention
| making nominations, every candidate in
dorsing such measure will simply COM
nit political hara-kiri." The same NAV
be said of Democratic nominees who in
dorse the boycott. There are thousands of
Democrats III the State who will not sup
port such candidates. -[GTass Valley Union
The boycott is a two-edged weapon, and
in ninety-nine cases out of one hundred it
must boycott labor much more than CAP
ltal. In nineteen cases out of twenty it is
simply a farce, as men of ordinary man.
hood will always buy and sell as suits them
best, regardless of arbitrary orders, and the
general result of the labor boycott is simply
IL
estimate that fixes the losses to labor this
year, by reason of the paralysis of indus
trial enterprises by labor disturbances, at
thousand millions of dollars. There were
million men idle last year by the general
depression of our productive industries,
and the loss to labor and to the consuming
power of the country was not less than five
hundred millions. This year. when the
season opened with increased confidence
that promised the diffusion of capital into
industrial channels and enlarged employ
ment for labor, labor has foolishly boy
cotted itself by driving all capital out of
industrial enterprises that can get out, and
by postponing all Improvements that are
not absolutely Indispensable Thus has
labor boycotted labor fully a thousand
millions for 1886, and when will the conf
dence so wantonly destroyed be restored
and the channels of industry again send
out enlarged demands for labor? We ap-
peal to intelligent workingmen to boycott
the suicidal boycotters who are simply
making labor boycott labor Philadelphi
