One by one.

1t is a noticeable feature of every at
tempt of the Democratic press 10 discuss
tariff questions, that their papers single
out avocations or industries when they
are advocating free trade, and aggregate
them when they are dilating on the enormi-
ty of the protective tariff. For instance,
they hold up their hands in horror at the
fact that we collect the enormous sum of
SIP, 600 900 in duties, and in the next breath
seek to belittle protected industries by
singing them out, one by one. and giving
partial statistics to show that they are OF
but trifing Importance.
The Administration organ is continually
pursuing this disingenuous style of argu-
ment especially with regard TO California
industries, says the San Francisco Chront-
cle 1t recently asserted that, according
to the last census, which, by the way, was
eight years ago, there were seventy-nine
persons engaged in salt making, but it is
careful not to mention the fact that in 1887
California was the fifth in the list of salt
making States of the Union. and that the
industry has grown to be an important one.
II asserts that it does not believe that the
Mills bill would reduce the gross receipts
of the raisin- growers a cent an acre, and
that in spite of the explicit declarations Of
rasin men that the passage of that bill
would cost California $500 900 a year. at
the very least calculation. 1t sneers at the
wool interest of this State, and ignores the
fact that in 1857 California produced about
100000 pounds Of that staple. 1t forgot
its lesson a little, and declares that the
Mills bill does not touch any kind of fruit
except figs, when, as a matter Of fact, il
puts plums, prunes and currants on the
free list.
One by one the Democratic party attacks
home industries and at each fresh on
slaught the free-trade organs exclaim:
"Oh, that is a mere trhe, an unimportant
industry But it so happens that the
prosperity of the United States, the pros
perity of California, depends upon the sum
total of these 'unimportant industries"
and there would be just as much reason in
looping of a finger or toe from a sound
hand or foot, because a single one is com
paratively unimportant, as to strike down
particular industries because they do not
appear as valuable as some others.
The truth is, that the Democratic party
is in an awkward situation 1t is put upon
its defense as being the enemy of the
American working-man, and the best il
can do is to plead in mitigation that il is
only trying TO kill a hundred where il
might have tried to kill thousand, and,
like Warren Hastings, it congratulates
itself on its own moderation.

had come to her home, where she could be

ness, by loving and sympathizing friends and
relatives.
She took a high stand in our Graded school
as a scholar, and as years went on, with her
retentive memory, she stored her mind by
constant reading with the practical things OF

intelligently upon almost any subject which
appeared in the grand panorama OF life than
she could. She was a kind and sympathiz
