HIGH LICENSE TESTIMONY.

Pennsylvania and Minnesota have lust
reported upon the experiment of high
license for one year in those jurisdictions
In the Keystone State the law went into
effect June so, 1887. In the year preced-
ing, under the old Law, there were granted
14,704 licenses; in 1888, under the new
law, 1888, or a decrease of about one half
of all the saloons in the State. In 1887
the revenue from licenses was 1916, 6,179
under the old law in 1888, under the new
law, it amounted to S1,S35,963. So the
experiment there resulted in decreasing
the saloons by one half and doubling the
revenue. The officials report, also, nota-
BILE decrease in drunkenness and the dis
appearance of most Of the vile dens where
men were made stupid with bad LIQUOR
and then robbed. Now these things
it will be remembered are precisely the
results that the friends of high license
claimed would develop. Let us turn to
the Minnesota report. In 1885 there are
l,593 saloons, while in 1887, under the old
law, there were 2,S06. The figures are not
yet obtainable as to revenue, but it is re-
ported officially to have been greatly in
creased. But it is set forth with much
emphasis that the social conditions have
been very much improved during the year.
That is to say, the low groggeries are shut
up, the call for police service has fallen off
in all the smaller towns and cities and in
them especially drunkenness, brawling and
the crimes of drunkenness have decreased.
In the larger cities the effect, while
good, Is not as yet so marked.
The officials report still another
interesting fact that elections have been
more quietly conducted, attempts to vote
fraudulently have greatly decreased, and
"the polls" have not been surrounded by
anywhere near so many men under the in
fuence of strong drink. Now, these are
cold facts that prohibitionists and anti
high license men alike need to consider.
Looked at in purely economic light,
freed from sentiment, and estimated upou
the basis of benefits to the largest number.
and the results in Pennsyl yania and in
Minnesota commend themselves to
thoughtful and conservative men with sin !
gular force. 1t will not do to close O r
eyes to the march Of the regulation senti-

letter from President Cleveland in

from it, editoriaIiy says: "It would
hardly be possible to put the free

THE ONE-DOLLAR LIBEL.

Though the great majority of the men
engaged in the labor strikes of 1877 at In
dianapolis have been found and have will
ingly signed paper, circulated by their
own comrades, that emphatically denies
that General Harrison was their enemy,
but that on the contrary he interviewed for
them and did his best to secure them that
they asked for, .here are Democrats so un-
principled as to continue to circulate the
infamous story that the General assailed
the workers and attempted to have troops
fire upon them, etc. Another story the
Democracy is unceasing in circulating is
that General Harrison sometime, nobody
says when, said that one dollar day is
enough for any workingman. The General
has Indignantly denied that he ever enter
tanned such thought or uttered any such
words. Hon. J. B. Kenner, of Indianap-
oils, is upon the coast just now. He is
thoroughly well acquainted with General
Harrison and all his course, and he says
that not a laboring man in Indiana believes
that General Harrison ever made use of
any such language; that reward of
1000 has been standing for two months
in indianapolis for any proof worthy the
name that General Harrison used such
language or anything at all like it in
spirit, but no one has ventured to come
forward and claim the money. Mr..
kenner adds that "in Indiana no Demo-
crat would dare get on the stump and as
sert that it was true, if he valued his own
reputation for veracity. 1t cuts no figure
in the campaign there" Since the Demo-
Gratis outside of Indiana are so diligent in
circulating the libel, perhaps they will,
after learning that in the Hoosier State
the story is not tolerated even by Demo-
crats, change their method of assault.

RIGHT TO THE POINT

A distinguished Democrat in a recent
speech in this city insisted that the work
ers in cotton mills in America receive
lower wages and work longer hours than
the workers in cotton mills in England.
By a comparative table the REcoRD-UNIoN
exploded that statement. More recently a
free-trade Democratic Journal of California
stated that the cotton manufacturers in
this State were crippled because of a
limited market, were over-stocked with
goods, and that by the reduction of the
protective tariff reciprocal condition be-
tween this and other markets will be
created, that will give the cotton manu-
facturers Of the country an unlimited
market.
A mercantile firm of Sacramento, which
deals directly with cotton manufacturers,
and notably in cotton twines, thread, ETC..
wrote to the largest cotton manufacturer
on this coast-the California Cotton Mills
Company-and asked it concerning the
truth of the statements made He re-
ceived prompt reply, which we present
below. 1t must be stated by way of pre-
face that the proprietors of the mills are
natives of Scotland. The letter is as fol-

Sergeant Barwick, Signal Service OBJ
server, informs REcoRD-UNIoN reporter
that the highest temperature yesterday was
but 750, which is the first time since June
18th that the maximum or highest tenn
perature has been so low.
The following shows the lowest maxi
mum temperature for each month from
June to the present, viz: June, 74o July,
760; August, 800; September, 75o (yester-
day.. The highest maximum temperature
during the same time was: For June, $50;
July, 1040;; August, 1852, and September
1902. The extreme lowest or minimum
temperature during the same time was
For June, 480;; July, SO; August, 510, and
September to date, $40. The above data
shows that for the past four months the
highest temperature was 1852, and the
lowest 4S0, or a range of 600; that is, it
was that many degrees between the highest
and lowest temperature during the past
four months.
The Signal Service temperature yesterday
at A. NJ. was $50, 80 cooler than the same
hour the day before; II NJ. yesterday, 100,
being l60 cooler than at the same time "a
hours previous; P. NJ. yesterday, 6So,
which was 15o cooler than the same hour
the day before. The highest yesterday was
750, which was 190 less than the highest
temperature the day before Thursday.
The average temperature yesterday
was $50. being 40 less than the nor
NAL for that day. This is the first
time since the 18th of this month that the
daily average temperature has been less
than the normal.
The average temperature yesterday was
100 less than it was the day before; it being
72o on Thursday and but $50 yesterday.
The highest and lowest temperature yes.
terday was 75o and $50, while the highest
and lowest on Thursday was $40 and 600.
The wind yesterday was from the south,
and from eight to fifteen miles per hour,
and weather clear.
The lowest average daily temperature in
June was 500; July, 620;; August, 65o;;
September yesterday 500. Showing that
there has been but one day in the last four
months that gave lower daily average tenn
perature, and but one that was as cool as
yesterday, therefore, speaking in syllogisms,
there has been but three cool days in the
last four months, and yesterday was one of
them. No doubt the desire of the popula-
ton of the Sacramento valley is for the
weather to continue to be as fine as yester-
day was, which was regular Central Cali
fOrnia day as far as the weather was con-
cerned and for this season of the year.

ALL the sensational stories going about
that General Harrison has promised this
and that Cabinet position to certain men
in case of his election, are unworthy of
consideration. Unless we are to write
General Harrison down fool we are not
to believe them. He is far-seeing, sensi-
BILE and cool-headed man of great expert
ence and much caution. Such men do not

of how they will fill offices before they at

whether we wish it or not All the theory
in the world will not convince taxpayer
that half as many saloons, with lessened
drunkenness and lowered cost for police
service to handle drunkenness, with the
added facts of doubled revenue and de-

OAKLAND, September 10, 1883.
DEAR SIRS: Your favor of yesterday duly re-
eeived. What you saw in the papers, if as stated
by yon, is gross misrepresentation of fac is
have fair market for all our product. We are
strong opponents of any legislation III the way
OF reducing the import tariff on any articles
produced in the country. Having come from a
So-called free-trade country some years ago we
know too well how badly it would are with
both employer and employees if the. had to
compete with the low paid labor of iaat coun-
try IN any textile or other manufacturing indus
try. The California tariff papers give a correct
account OF European and American wages, that
-hoW st glance how impossible it would be to
compete and keep wages up to the present level
The conditions of labor here and in England
are very different, and it should be the aim of
every intelligent American to keep up the
standard of wages, and this can only be done
by strong protective wall. These are some of
our opinions on this subject, so pray do not take
acount OF the misstatements referred to- We
have many employees receiving two to three
times the wages paid for the same kind of work
~ England, and we can youch that it is not our
capital that reaps the greatest benefit of protec-
ion. We are yours very truly,

THE CAT QUARREL.

The cat quarrel between the two
branches of the Virginia Republican
party might mean something in state
election. but in presidential contest il
only means a wrangle between two sets
Of personal followers OF certain leaders.
The two sets of delegates will go to Chi
cago and ask admission to the Repub-
lican Convention, and whichever one is
not admitted will come back home with
mild rebuke laid on the recalctrant
shoulder of the kicker.
All that the unrecognized section Of the
party can DO will he To make the best OF a
beaten opportunity, and meekly 30 to
WORK TO elect the nominee of the Repub
lican arty.
What else could they do? There is no
chance 10 carry Virginia for the Repub'
licans except by party unity, and whether
Malone or Wise be the acknowledged
boss, the voters must come up aud vote,
or else there is no longer any Republican
party in Virginia The Republicans are
inspired with the idea OF of Pennsylvania
policy adapted to Virginia to develop her
mines aud manufactures by the system
OF protection. They are as confident in
exploiting this fallacy as in many others
hat they have tried, and as protection
has a deep and copious pocket j, is use
less to deny that ,he Doodle will flow.

cause of the down-trodden working men
who, according to volumes of reports
during the last year, are a little bit more
down.trodden in Protection Pennsyl-
vania than in any other part of the coun-
try. Blu, the way to meet all these tricks
of sophisiry is with downright denial
of the honesty of any intention declared
by the Republican party, and the proofs
OF il are in the people who preach the
