| LID. INDEPENDENT: Saturday
night last the Republicans of this
State and city made the greatest effort
OF the present campaign in the form of
parade, and it is conceded that they
made respectable showing, having an
| immense procession of some five thou
sand people mounted, in wagons and
on foot. Many buildings were gaily
decorated with bunting and flags, aud
taken as n whole the pageant was i'm
pc ing. 1t lacked, however, euthusi-
asm, and nearly one half of those who
turned out were working men forced to
do so, or lose situationsi the other
| huff was composed of representatives of
our factories who paraded their wagons,
ETC., as an advertising expedient. Such,
in few words, was this long talked of
Republican-Protecti demonstration.
Now that Cleveland has twisted the
British lions tail until it howled, (the
lion, not the tail, and the Democrats
in Congress have given US a bill that
will forever settle the Chinese immi-
grafton question, California may be
safely counted upon to give her electo-
raj vote for Cleveland and Thurman.
In sporting circles here bets are freely
offered that Cleveland will carry this
State, and the Republicans are using
every effort, both fair and foul, to pre-.
vent the cyclone that will surely sweep
the party from the country. 1t is quite
amusing to see how the Republican
journals are trying to steal all the glory
for the Scott restriction bill, but the
facts are SO we'll known here that their
buster avails them nothing.
When q Republican begins to cry
Free-Trade, and the pernicious results
of the adoption of the Mills bill and
openly asserts that the wages of work
ing men will be reduced below living
figures, ask him the following ques-
tons:
Did you ever 500 man who got more
wages on account of protective tariff
If protective tariff keeps up wages,
why hos not your party doubled that
tariff, and consequently doubled wages?
Why has every Republican President
since Grants first term recommend in
his annual message u reduction of the
tariff on necessities?
Why does England pay her wage
workers higher wages than any other
European power?
Why million men have been out Of
work under the high tariff
HOW protection protects workingmen
when Chinese come in duty free2
Why workingmen earn higher day.
wages in unprotected than in protected
industries2
Why rice is taxed more tnan 113 per
cent. while diamonds are taxed only 10
per cent?
Why the longer the high tariff con-
tinues the thicker becomes the plaster
Of mortgages upon the farmers land0
1t is q we'll known fact that the cor
porations which employ many men are
constantly cutting down wages and de-
claring dividends to stockholders, and
It is likewise we'll known that the oh.
ject of all corporations is to secure cheap
labor md that nearly all corporations
and trusts favor high protective tariff.
Now if the Mills bill reduced wages, as
claimed, would not the said corpora.
tioDs endorse it Mt once, and thus &C.
cure cheaper laborP A protective turiff
benefits only the rich man, and the
more the tax the more the poor man
has to pay for his actual necessities.
These are only few out Of many of the
Inconsistencies of the present turiff
schedule.
This is the grand season Of the year
in San Francisco, one perpetual Sum-
mer; the most delightful days; no
winds, no rains, no cold, just exquisite
~ pleasant, which makes one feel how
nice it is to live.
