and did not reach the figures of 1868
until 1881, when it was 164 100000.
Mr.. Lynch goes on to say: "But bear
ing in mind the caution as to economic
phenomena, l do not say that this de-
crease was because of the tariff. Prob
ably there were many causes. But what
1 do say, and l say it without fear of
contradiction, is that the tariff of 1867
failed to prerent the decrease of sheep,
and it failed to foster and increase the
growth of wool. 1t was expressly de-
signed to encourage the wool grower, and
it had no such effect.
"Wool growers are dependent upon
wool manufacturers for their market.
Hence wool growing cannot thrive un.
less manufacturing is prosperous. The
question, then, is, why has not manu-
featuring been more prosperous?
Nothing, not even the tariff, can
make goods sell which consumers have
not the ability to buy. Further, as the
price of an article is forced up, the num-
ber OF consumers who are able to buy il
is decreased. If, therefore, the tariff
raises prices, it decreases consumption,
and the manufacturers of goods at high
cost fail to find consumers at profit.
The tariff cannot increase the ability ol
consumers to purchase, but it can and
does increase the cost Of goods by pre-
venting the American manufacturer from
buying his wool in the markets of the
world where he can buy cheapest.
"There are but three great wool-pro-
ducing countries: South Africa, the
Australian Colonies and the South
American States about the River Platte.
In Canada, in the United States. in Eu.
rope, in Great Britain, in Russia, they
have from seventy to one hundred sheep
to the one hundred inhabitants. In
South Africa they have 800 sheep, in
Australia 2,4O2 sheep, and in the River
Platte countries 1850 sheep to the one
hundred Inhabitants. These three
countries grow wool to sell. Their natu-
raj advantages make it very cheap, but
our tariff says to the American manufac-
turer you shall not buy it without paying
a tax of from 80 to 100 per cent. The
consequence is that the foreign manufac.
turer can buy these cheap woods at from
one-half to two-thirds what the Ameri
can manufacturer would have to pay.
"Wool growers cannot sell at high
prices unless their customers, the manu-
facturers, are prosperous. Manufacturers
cannot be prosperous unless they can
buy their wool on the same terms as
their foreign competitors.

EDITORS HERALD: A notice in the
Times this morning endeavors to explain
why Virgil-or Vergel-should never be
written with "e," but l fear bis argu.
ment is thin and authorities obscure, else
he would know that P. Virgilius Marc
according to Roman Classical Literature
by R. w. Browne, M. Al was born on
the ides the 18th Of October, B. G. 70. on
on small estate belonging to his father
at Andes (Pietola) a village of Cis Alpine
Gaul, situated about three Roman miles
from Mantua.
It. has been disputed whether his name
was Virgilius or Vergilius. Most proba-
bly, both orthographies are correct, as
Diana, Minerva, liber and other Latin
words were frequently written Deana,
Menerva, leber, etc.
I think this ought to put aside all doubt
as regards the spelling Of this name, and
leave the HERALD as it has been from
the first, perfectly correct.

James A. Whitney. They make delight
full yoke-fellows, and we may well ex-
claim as to them, par Mobile fratruna
The story of Whitney is told by the
World thus:
Mr.. James A. Whitney, of this city,
who classifies himself as "high- tariff
Democrat" announces that he shall vote
for Harrison. 1nasmuch as Mr.. Whit
ney admits that he voted for Blaine, the
prince OF Protectiopists, four years ago,
it is apparent that the Democrats will not
lose nor the Republicans gain by his
vote on the same side now.
The fact that Mr.. Whitney proclaims
himself high-tariff man and in favor of
"extending the principle of protection
to subsidies" shows that he is not a
Democrat, and that he took his true po-
sition in 1884. The Democratic party
has never been high-tariff party nor in
favor of subsidies.
President jackson condemned quite as
vigorously as President Cleveland has
done the maintenance of tariff for sur
plus. And every Democratic platform
the iniquitous tariff and demanded that
dAdtlOu OO COAuACo W PuUllC pOScS
and be limited by the actual needs OF
economic government.
Mr.. Whitney was tardy in his change.
He should have gone with the promoters
of Trusts and the defenders of monopo-
lies when Samuel j. Tilden led the
Democratic party in bold and honest
fight for Tax Reduction through Tariff
Reform in 1875.
As. Mr.. Whitney is said to be very
skillful patent lawyer he should take out
a patent for his process of making gains
for the Republicans by inducing men
who voted for Blaine in 1884 to support
Harrison this year.
Contrast the attitude of these mercen.
aries with that Of men like Judge Krum,
OF st. Louis, Republicans since the party
started, who associate themselves with
the Democratic party on principle. For
every Hessian-like Democrat lost through
his lust of gain the party gains the votes
of ten honest men who believe that the
tariff spoliation of the war ought to
cease

ssThe Wife.c

ne
Mr.. Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theater
Company from New York City, who will
present their great success, The Wife,
for the first time in this city at the Grand
Opera House for one week, beginning
next Monday evening, is known to the
profession as the dramatic happy family.
There has never been a quarrel among
its members since its organization, it
is said; and this is remarkable
from the fact that they have pre-
sented The Wife during their entire
season in New York, which covered a
period of 250 nights. The Lyceum Com
pany has, from the high encomiums re"
ceived from the San Francisco press, un-
doubtedly achieved the greatest success,
during their four weeks run at the Bald
win Theatre, ever accorded a dramatic
company in that city. The Chronicle of
August 9th says: CATER a successful
run of The Wife during the three weeks
of crowded houses, fourth week, without
change of programme, is announced,
to the great satisfaction of a num-
ber of theatre-goers, who wish to
review the many pleasurable scenes
of this phenomenally popular play.
We say phenomenally, because it is an
American play so local that the auditors
understand illusions to different cities,
SO homelike that each character becomes
a personal acquaintance, play without
one word to cause blush. motives as
pure as the love of husband and wife, an
ability which makes every man better
husband, wife more loving and be-
loved, receives the smiles of approval
and tears of sympathy which crowds
have INDUCED in through these many
representations"

Mexican Recruits.

NoGALEs, August 10.-A call has been
made by the Republic of Mexico for an
addition to the standing army of thirty
Thousand men. This number will be
raised by enforced enlistment. Each
district is required to furnish q certain
number of men, the apportionment being
made according to population. Men be-
tween the ages of 18 and 80 are gathered
up regardless of home ties or business
affairs, and compelled to serve in the
army. As q consequence, hundreds of
men are leaving the country, hurrying
across the line into the United States
and filling the border towns and settle.

large demand for soldiers has not yet

REPUBLICAN journals are bestowine

REPUBLICAN journals are bestowing
much coincidence on the Democratic
party at this moment, the occasion being
the death of ''Blinky" Morgan. This is
sheer waste of sympathy. Republicans
should weep for themselves. Our party
is rid of "Blinky," and we are glad of it.
The Republican party still has to bear
the odium of such ardent admirers of
its great moral ways, as Dorsey, Dudley,
Chandler and Hayes. Moses is, indeed,
gone, but Yarmouth still remains.

Peculiar Gaze of a Supposed Paupef


Some two years ago an old Englishman
named John Hayes, or Ayes, as he some
times called himself, bought a piece of
property of about seven acres at Fair
view, adjoining the residence of Post
master Gardiner. He was the solitary
occupant of his small cabin, and at
tracted some attention through his
penurious manner of living. He raised
some chickens and at the present time
there are probably 500 worth of fowls
upon the place. A few days ago he
became i'll and went to Los Angeles,
where he proceeded to the Sisters
Hospital for treatment. He informed
the Sisters Of his property here and also
of his chicken raising. He had at
that time quite an amount of money in
the Commercial Bank at Santa Ana, so
it is said, which fact was also made
known to the hospital attendants. He
became worse, and being about to die,
suddenly refused to speak further of his
possessions. He died on Monday, and
the authorities in Los Angeles are said to
have been unable to locate any of the
mans property or to establish his iden-
tity. Hayes was thereupon buried as a
pauper. The peculiar part of the affair
is that the deceased was regarded as be-
ing in quite comfortable circumstances.
He invested in Santa Ana property about
a year ago, sold out at an increased valu-
alton and invested part of his money
here, purchasing seven acres from B. j.
Snodgrass at Fairview, and depositing an
account in the Santa Ana Bank. His
chicken ranch has since his depar-
ture been without care, but the poultry
is valued at not less than 500. It is not
believed the eccentric party executed a

Specialize celebrated case of Joe
Dye, we'll known at Los Angeles, accused
of the murder OF Herman Haines, in this
county, two years ago, is on trial for the
second time in this city, and Judge Will
liams' court is filled with people, anxious
to witness the proceedings. Hon. s. M.
White and Harry T. Gage represent Dye.
This morning Dye and his counsel ap-
peared in court. White moved a con-
tinuance, to prepare for trial, stating that
the defense's most important witness,
Wiseman, was now in Guatemala. Will
liams denied the motion. Gage
then asked that the defendant
be allowed to amend his plea
OF not guilty. and solemn stiffness pre-
vailed in the crowded courtroom as the
lawyer said Dye desired to plead: "Once
in jeopardy, once convicted, once acquit-
ted, and not guilty" An extended ar
gument followed on the part Of the prose-
cution. Williams said the plea was
novel and characteristic of Gage. A
fearful error would be committed should
he decide not to accept the amended
plea. Much comment was made when
the Judge gave counsel but two days in
which to prepare for the trial. 1t has
been confidently anticipated by leading
residents that Dyes request for change
of venue would be granted. The trial
will be of sensational character and
will consume over two weeks. Gage and
White depart this evening for Los Ange-

result was twenty-three fish, of which
four was fine 'yellow tails" These
weighed from thirty-one to forty pounds
each. The honors of the catch were
even between the Colonel and Mrs.
Ayers, as each caught two fish. The same
is true of sixteen fine rock bass, of which
each captured eight. When the editorial
fishing party drew in to the shore in front
Of the hotel, enthusiastic admiration ran
high among the guests. All the people
at the island take much interest
in fishing. A lucky fisher caught a
"yellow tail" weighing seventy five
pounds in front of G. W. Remington's
house, not one hundred yards from the
shore.
Fishing, however, is not the sole de-
light OF those who are at Santa Catalina.
