Many bullion producers preferred
shipping their bullion out of the

about 9 per cent. Nearly all of the
money of this tax was given to the

VALLEJO, March 1.-The wrecking

understand thoroughly their work, is
fast clearing away the sunken remains
of the steamer Julia. The diver con-
tinues in his occasional CHASTITY visits
below water, aiding the wreck
ers and searching for bodies.
He found two corpses on Wednesday

not be extricated, and 80 he made
them fast with cords, lest they should
be lost.
To-day the funerals Of Jerry Winn,
John Braveric, Oloff Nelson, and Ed
ward and James Rule took place.
Notwithstanding the rain the funerals
were very largely attended. The en-
tire fire department, uniformed,
turned out and fire bells were tolled
all the morning. There is nothing
new to report in the condition of the
injured.
THE OFFICIAL INvESTIG ALTON.
The Coroner's jury investigating the
causes of the explosion Of the steamer
Julia, visited the wharf this afternoon
and viewed the bursted boiler which
has been recovered from the wreck.
On their return Chief Engineer Kutz,
of the United States Navy, was called
and testified that he believed the toil-
or was ruptured by the front tube
heads pulling out, thus throwing the
whole pressure on the back tube
sheet, the shell of the boiler causing
,lit to burst at its weakest point.
The tubes getting away from the
tubes heads is due to two causes, viz
Intense heat when the fires are light
ed cause an expansion, and when the
| fire is shut off the reduction of tenn
perature causes contraction, and il
apt to cause leakage. Then if the
tubes are put in with dudgeon-ex
pander when they leak, it re-expandi
them. The repeated use Of this too
lmakes one end Of the tube thin.

LATEST DEvELoPMENTs.

bAIEcI OEfELOfMENTss
Eighty of the Reading engineers
who arrived here on Wednesday night
to take the places OF the strikers re-
turned late tonight.
The local press bureau, at a late
hour tonight furnishes the following !:
Intelligence of undoubted reliability
was secured at late hour to-
night to the effect that the
chairman of the engineers and
firemen's grievance committee
upon all the railroad lines intersect-
ing, parallel to, or connecting with
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
system will meet in this city to.mor-
row or the next day. This meeting is
preparatory to a general strike on all
those lines. This includes the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul, Chi
cago and Alton, Northwestern, Wis
consin Central, Rhode Island and
Minnesota and Northwestern lines.
TRUMP CARD
That the strikers are holding in re-
serve was described tonight by the
general manager of a railroad other
than the Burlington, terminating here.
He said: "Granting that no compro-
mise is arrived at between the Bur-
lington and the striking engineers,
and that the company succeeds in
filling the places of the strikers, there
is another phase that will present
itself which will not only en-
barrass the Burlington Company,
but will prove dangerous to
other corporations. The Burlington
with all its locomotives manned can
resume local business and success
fully conduct it, but there it will
stick. Through business it cannot
do, if the Brotherhood engineers
should take stand against it. They
could, and probably would, refuse to
have trains in which Burlington cars
were made up, and such action would
be effectual in blocking business.
If the connecting lines should
insist upon the performance of
the service, it would precipitate q
strike on their own roads and there is
not much doubt that under these cir
cumstances they would refuse to &C.
cept the Burlington cars. That COM
pany would have but one resource. II

Why Grant Was a Republican.

General Grants Speech Delivered at Warren
o., Sept. Is, 1880.
1t may be proper for me to account
to you, on the first occasion of my
presiding at a political. meeting, for
the faith that is in me.
l am Republican as the two great
political parties are now divided, be-
cause the Republican party is ma
tional party, seeking the greatest
good for the greatest number of citi-
zens. There is not a precinct in this
vast nation where Democrat cannot
cast his ballot. and have it counted as
cast. No matter what the promi-
hence of the opposite party, he can
proclaim his political opinions, even
if he is only one among thousand,
without fear and without persecution
on account of his opinions. There are
fourteen states, and localities in some
other states, where Republicans have
not this privilege. This is one reason
why am Republican.
But am Republican for many
other reasons. The Republican party
assures protection to life and prop
erty; the public credit and the pay.
ment of the debts of the government
state. county and municipalities far
as it can control. The Democratic
party does not promise this. If it
does it has brok en- its promises to the
extent of hundreds of millions, as
many Northern Democrats can testify
to their sorrow.
am Republican, as between the
existing parties because it fosters the
production of field and farm, and of
manufactures, and it encourages the
general education of the poor as well
as the rich. The Democratic party
discourages all these when in absolute
power.
The Republican party is party of
progress and of liberality towards its
opponents. 1t encourages the poor
to strive to better their children. to
enable them to compete successfully
with their more fortunate associates ;
and, in fine, it secures an entire
equality before the law of every citi-
zen, no matter what his race, nation
atty or previous condition. 1t toll
crates no privileged class. Every one
has the opportunity to make himself
all he is capable of.

It is a Free Trade Bill.

The Democratic newspapers, fol-
lowing the lead of the Democratic
administration, insist upon it that
the Mills bill is not a free trade meas
ure, because it lowers the rates of
duty very slightly. We regret to see
that our esteemed contemporary, the
World, continues to denounce Re.
publican newspapers that call the
Democrats free traders and their bill
free trade bill. AS matter of fact,
no one cares whether the reductions
effected by the Millrs bill are more or
less. One of the worst features of the
bill is that, while its authors pretend
that it is made to reduce the surplus,
its main object is to make an issue
for the coming Presidential cam.
paign. An appropriate title would
be "a bill to change the revenue
system of the United States" No
one would care to contend against
the slight reductions that are made
by the bill if they were made with
the protective principle in view. But
the bill is made on a free trade prin-
ciple. Certain articles are selected
aud the duties upon them are entire
ly abolished, for the alleged purpose
of giving our manufacturers an op-
portunity to compete with the for
eigners in the markets of the world.
This involves the admission of the
foreigners into our own markets, as
matter of course, and the result
must be to put an end to American
control of the American market,
which is the central idea of the pro-
tective system. The free traders
know what they are after and what
will be the ultimate result of the
adoption of the Mills bill, and the pro-
tectionists are not at all deceived by
the statements that the bill is only a
slight reduction of rates, That is not
fair and frank statement of the
case. On the contrary, it is some-
what in the nature of a trick. and
we are sorry to see 80 bold and hon.
orable champion of its opinions as
the World is, adopting the little
methods OF people who are unwilling
to engage in fair fight on the issue
of free trade or protection. The tariff
will never be surreptitiously revised.
They who suppose. that it can be, I'M
derate acknowledgement of the country.

the strongest ground that the Demo-
Gratis can take is the honest one In

Gently wrote from Brandfoad, Eng

broker as follows:
"Business here and elsewhere is
very poor. Manufacturers and mer-

they obtain.
"Almost anyone you meet in trade
circles questions you regarding the
prospects of our Tariff bill and seems
to think it is the one ray of hope they
have of an improved condition of
matters. Several of the largest man
ufacturers in this district Yorkshire)
have discussed with me the idea of
their removing their plants to the
States in the event of the tariff not
being reduced to a considerable ex-
tent, l discussed this same question
with them two years ago, but at that
time they would not entertain the
thought. Should Congress rectify the
wOrsted clause and make them pay
the same duty on woolens it would
make matters much worse for the
people here.

Blaine Will Not Accent.

NEW YORK, May 30.-The Tribune
of to-day publishes the following let
tel from Mr.. Blaine:
PARIS. May II, 1888.
WhiteIato Reid. Esq, Editor Ne,o
York Tribune:
MY DEAR SIR Since my return
to Paris from southern Italy, on the
9Th instant, 1 have learned (what 1
did not before belieye) that my name
may yet be presented to the National
Convention as a candidate for the
Presidential nomination by the Re-
publican party. A single phrase of
my letter of February %, from Flor.
ence (which was decisive of every
thing | had the personal power to
decide has been treated by many of
my most valued friends as not abso-
lutely conclusive in ultimate and pos.
sible contingencies. On the other
hand, friends equally DEVOTED and
disinterested have construed my let
ter. las it should be construed), to be
an unconditional Withholding of my
name from the National Convention.
They have in consequence given their
support to eminent gentlemen, who
are candidates for the Chicago nomi-
nation, some of which would not,
am sure, have consented to assume
that position, if l had desired to rep
resent the party in the Presidential
contest of 1888.
If l should now. by speech or by
silence, by commission or omission.
permit my name, in any event to
come before the convention l should
incur the reproach of being uncandid
with those who have always been
candid with me. 1 speak, therefore,
because am not willing to remain
In doubtful attitude. 1 am not
willing to be the cause of misleading
a single man among the millions who
have given me their suffrages and
their confidence. L am not willing
that even one of my faithful support
ers in the past should think me cap
able of pattering in a double sense
with my words. Assuming that the
Presidential nomination could by any
possible chance be offered to me,
could not accept it without leaving in
the minds of thousands of those men
the impression that 1 had not been
free from indiscretion, and therefore
could not accept at all. The misrep-
reservations of malice have no weight
but the just displeasure of friends
could not patiently endure.
Republican victory, the prospects
of which grow brighter every day,
can be imperilled only by lack of
unity in council or acrimonious con.
test over men. This issue of protec-
ton is incalculably stronger and
greater than any man, for it concerns
the prosperity of the present and of
generations to come.

ton. What would you think of the
descendants of the men who followed
the fortunes of the house of Stuart in
England if they refused allegiance to-
day to the house of Hanover and the
British queen What would you
think of the Germans who, after the
consolidation of the empire by the
genius of Bismarck, were to disavoW
their allegiance and take up arms
against the German government ?
Or what would be thought of cuun-
tryman of Cavour, whose genius
united all Italy, if now he should
take up arms against the Italian
government So the men who stood
by the Confederacy, who risked their
lives and fortunes for that cause, may
now be true and loyal to the consti-
tuition of the United States and its
amendments, and to the fortunes of
the Union, whether they shall be
good or evil"

The Condition OF Trade.

NEW YORK, May 25.-R. G. Dun
& c., in their review of trade say:
Gold has begun to go abroad in
large amounts, S5,S50,000 having
been shipped since May s. In the
present state of foreign trade, sus-
pension of foreign Investments in
this country involves exports of gold
to meet current balances, whether
any part of the foreign capital prey
iousiy invested here is called back
or not but there are indications of
foreign realizing in some securities.
The 60 out of gold, in view o. the
large accumulation of idle mo ney,
causes no apprehension. AT interior
points money is scarcely anywhere
close, and at nearly all points easier,
but complaints of slow collections do
not diminish. The volume of trade
is almost universally unsatisfactory,
but the unfavarable weather is in
most cases accepted az the chief cause,
and some improvement is reported
at Cleveland and Memphis.
The tendency of prices has been
downward, both for securities and
for products. The average for pro-
ducts was temporarily lifted by the
speculation in grain, but has fallen
again to point of FIVE per cent be-
low the highest for the year. Wheat
has declined three cents with more
favorable crop prospects. Corn has
fallen two and one half cents for the
week and oats one cent. Hogs and
lard have advanced fifteen cents on
the 100 pounds, and coffee half a cent.
but cotton and sugar do not gain, and
lard is three and one-half cents lower
than week ago. The decline in
wool since May has averaged thirty
sents per 100 pounds, Hides continue
very dull and leather generally favOrs
buyers. There is no special activity
seen in the boot and shoe trade, or
ders falling below expectations. Iron
is very irregular. Definite, though
not great improvement, appears in
the dry goods and grocery trades.
