not wish to lose their grip entirely
they will do we'll to dismiss from
their employ the San Francisco Elk
aminer as special pleader in the
case OF the people of the United
States rs. Grover Cleveland ct. al.
The Examiner in stating the
course OF Cleveland ought to do
MS some of his journalistic admirers
do in the East, they shout for the
Democratic party and carefully
avoid any allusion to Free Trade.
The Examiner, however has sell
iously set about the task OF defend
ing and extolling it.
1t takes the case OF California
and shows that the lowest wages
are paid by protected industries
1t does not substantiate its
statement by producing any statis-
tics on this subject; either from
labor or tariff source, but contests
itself with the bare assertion.
1t points to the fact. that the
manufacture OF cigars and boots are
both protected by the tariff and
that the wages are lower in these
branches of industry than in any
other in California.
Tobacco is mostly raised in the
United States and the price OF
cigars is not SO much. affected by
the tariff as the Internal Revenue
tax the very sort OF q tax that most
Of the Democratic press maintain
is the only correct thing in taxa
ton.
The cause of low wages in the
manufacture, of boots, shoes, and
cigars is not the tariff at all, but the
ruinous competitor of Chinese Ia
Dor.
In spite of the fact that the Chi
nese have entered this field of IN
dustry, the fact still remains that
large numbers of white workmen
in San Francisco make good living
m manufacturing boots and cigars.
Now suppose We take the tariff OF
boots entirely inside OF ten years
the entire boot and shoe industry Of
the United States would be trans
fered to China.
1t would be an easy thing to es-
tablish vast plants for the manufac-
ture of boots and shoes in China
and then ship them to this country.
A pair OF boots costing $500 In
wages in this country could be made |
for 25cts in China or less and sold
at large profit for $1.O0.
If this Is true of boots and shoes,
it would soon become the same |
with all kinds of manufactures for
it is folly to assume that the Chi
nese, the most initiative rose in the
world, could not in few years do |
anything with tools and machinery
now done by American working
men.
With the tariff taken off all manu- |
featured goods, the time would not
be far distant when the wheels OF
American manufacture would cease |
to revolve, the furnace pins would
die ont, the spindle no longer hum
in the factories and all the machin-
cry of our workshops be transferred
to the Celestial Empire, where men
toll for three cents a day and feed
themselves.
Under this State of affairs how
does the Examiner suppose the
wages of boots and cigars makers
would compare with the wages they
are receiving at present.
Their present wages is not due
to the tariff, but the Chinese.

IiOney-Dew.

The abundance of hOney-dew to
be seen on trees and plants of all
kinds during the dry weather, in
duced us to read its history. We
learn that it is a viscid saccharine
oxidation which appears only in
dry weather. 1t is usually but
not always associated with aphi-
des, cocci, and other insects
which feed on the juices Of plants,
andits flow is ascribed to their
punctures; but the rupture of tn e
tissues from any other cause, such
as the state Of the weather, also
produce it. Dry weather is nee
essary for the production in the
sap of that superabundance of
sugar which is thus thrown off.
This oxidation, as it dries, coats
the surface of leaves and branches
with a clammy, film to which
everything brought by the atmos-
phere adheres, aud on which molds
and other small fungi soon grow,
which impairs the health of plants.
Gardeners should, therefore, wash
off the honey-dew from plants and
fruit trees.

TESTIMONIAL

ry to call the caucus. The result
Of that suggestion is a golden lock
and key, a watch charm, which
has been presented to Mr.. Enloe
by Mr.. Cox, the chairman Of the
caucus. The following CORE
spondence explains itself:

Moderate Drinking and
Health.

I The disastrous effects of habitual
intoxicatiOn on the health are uni
versally admitted-nOt only the
immediate injury to the drunkard,
but the rem0ter effect on his pos
terity. Alcohol has thus been
proved a river of death, deeper,
broader and more irresistible than
flows from any other source.
But all good men, in not very
remote past, and not few in our
day, have accepted, and do accept,
moderate drinking as in itself safe
and helpful. The argument used
is that we are born into conditions
which everywhere impose the
nee essity af moderate indulgence
in a II our qualification and i'll all
our aspirations; that God is train
ing us to self-control as one of the
ends of our probational life.
But in the first place, moderate
drinking tends SO strongly and in
most cases, so irresistibly to ex-
cess that it never could have en-
tered into the providantial ar
engagements of wise and benevO-
lent being.
In the second place,-and this
is what we wish mainly to insist
on nOw,-moderate drinking, in
itself and wholly apart from its
dangerous tendencies, Injuries the
health, shOrtens life, and transmits
to children physical and moral
degeneration.
This is mere theory. 1t is as
serted as a fact by the highest
medical experts. Said William b.
Carpenter, NJ. d., F. R. s., of the
University of London, i'll his cele-
brated prize essay, "The habitual
use of smaller quantities of these
liquors,"-that is, the moderate
use,-''if sufficiently prolonged,
will ultimately be attended, i'll a
.rge proportion of cases, with
consequences prejudicial to the
system" His position was sup
ported by over two thousand of
his professional brethren.
But hardly any testimony
could be more conclusive than
the facts developed by o London
Life Insurance Company. This
association, having originally in.
sured only total abstainers, in
! 1850 accepted moderate drinkers,
who never drank to intoXicatioa
but kept the accounts of each
class distinct in seperate books.
During the period lS56-1SSi, OF
every one hundred in the section
r of total abstainers, thirty survived
beyond the line OF calculated sex
pectation," while only one surviv
ed in the other section.

not think that any good could be accom-
plished by continuing the session. The
election was only three weeks distant and
every movement was political. After the
election legislation could be enacted OF
more substantial good to the country than
could be enacted now even were quo
rum present.
MIR. McMillin, Of Tennessee, said that
when Mr.. Oates offered his first adjourn
ment resolution, il was the concurrent
Judgment OF the Democratic members,
after mature deliberation, that the resolu-
ton would not be reported back
avorably by the ways and means
committee. There was not q
Democratic member, ora person OF
that political faith in the country, who did
not say that the action Of the ways and
means committee in refusing to report the
resolution was wise. Had the resolution
been passed Congress would have ad-
journed before the Senate committee had
reported tariff bill, and the House bill
would have been fired at during the cam
paign. Now, the Senate admitted that
there should be a reduction OF S73, 600, 900.
Mr.. Oates thought the hegenteman should
make some exceptions, There were gen.

mittee unwise.

the resolution until tomorrow, which mo-
ton was agreed to-23 TO 2l.
