"FOR ONE so YOUNG"
A Little Child,s First EpfstOlary
Efforts.

Mr.. Adolph Rimpau of Anaheim, has
a little boy of 7 tender years. He spent
a few weeks at Santa Monica, during
which time the little fellow wrote the
following letters to his father. A
wicked newspaper reporter whose eyes
they fell under thought them SO good for
one SO young that he purloined them
for publication. 1t is few children of
that age who could pen SO good letters:
SANTA MONICA, CAL, Aug. 20, 1888.
My DEAR PAPA-I write you these few
lines to let you know that we are all well.
Papa send us some stamps.
Papa why did you write so bad,
hardly can read the letter; don't write
so bad. Tell auntie that we miss her
very bad.
Mamma has bad headache. Send
us some fruit. ARTHUR.

WASHINGTON, September 25.--The
Senate Finance Committee met to-day.
Present: Senators Sherman, Allison,
Aldrich, Hitchcock, Harris, Vance and
Jones. The new tariff bill was laid be-
fore the Committee, which began its con.
sideration. The majority of the men,
bers were personally in favor of making
it public at o7ce, but it waa decided in
Difference to the ancient usage to await
the action of the full Committee. Each
member receipted for copy of the new
bill and took it away with him. The
prevailing impression is that not more
than three or four days will be required
by Senator Beck to complete the minor.
ity report, and that the bill will be re
ported to the Senate and made public
Monday.
The bill is voluminous affair, cover
ing $50 pages OF ordinary bill size, in
Guiding of course the Mills bill, which is
struck out, and the entire Undervalua
ton bill upon which the Senate Commit
tee spent nearly year. The next meet
ing of the full Committee is called fol
Thursday morning, when the forma
reading of the bill will be continued. i
is said that its reading in the Senate will
consume about five hours. The member!
OF the Committee have pledged eacl
other not to make public any of the pro
visions of the bill. Nothing but a few
pivotal items, which have for some time
been public, is known of the provisions
of the measure. Thirty-four new items
mainly drugs, chemicals and grasses
have been added to the free list, ant
more are likely to be added before the
bill leaves the Committee. Sugar anC
rice are but so per cent. Salt and lum

WITHOUT desiring to enter into the
merits of the Boyce-T Times -Mirror-C. j.
Richards libel suit, it's result shows how
very difficult it is to get substantial ver-
dict against newspaper. In this case it
is not straining anything to say that an
element of downright enmity-which
when expressed in newspaper is the
implication of malice contemplated by
the law entered into the newspaper de-
fendant's structures upon General Boyce.
The editor OF the paper practically ad-
mitted this himself, and yet a purely
nominal verdict was the result which,
however satisfactory it may be to the
plaintiff, would scarcely afford much con-
ISOLATION to an attorney who was working
the case on contingent fee. There is a
deep-rooted sentiment in the community
that the freedom of the press
is invaluable to the people, that
it is a great safeguard against many
wrongs which would be intolerable if not
combated, and that to hamper and in
timidate newspaper in its legitimate
functions is to deprive society of one OF
its best protectors. A city or State or
a nation with tettered press is in fair
way to become despotism, or has al
ready become one. 1t is this feeling
which saved the Times from being
mulcted, and our contemporary would
certainly seem to have occasionally gone
up to the very verge of indulgence. As
to vexatious libel suits against news

by moderation and fair play, and which

The Democrat ic National Committee
has appealed to the masses direct for aid
to fight the peoples battle in the current
Presidential election. This seems to af
ford our Republican friends great deal
of amusement. Well, it is a new depar-
ture, with vengeance, and not at all in
line with Garfeld's celebrated inquiry,
in letter to Republican leader,
i'What are the Departments doing?"
The Democratic National Committee
evidently neither intend to harry the
office.holders into violating the law;
nor, after the manner of Republican
Foster, will they seek to "fry fat out Of
the manufacturers" All the money
which will go into the Democratic cam
paign will represent the free will offering
of the citizen. We fail to see anything
in this action of Mr.. Barnum calculated
to excite risibility. On the contrary, it
strikes us that the country will see in it
new and clean departure in politics.

1lnfant IMdustriex.,,

The attempt of the Republicans TO get
up big scare over an average reduction
Of the present tariff of less than six per
cent.-which is all that the Mills bill
contemplates-is turning out to be the
failure OF the age. Its absurdity is
heightened by the fact that the conven-
ton which nominated Blaine pledged
itself to tariff reduction, and that Re-
publican body presided over by Harry
w. Oliver, one of the greatest iron man
ufactHrers in Pennsylvania in 1888,
recommended an average reduction OF
twenty per cent. The jump Jim Crow
antics of the Republican leaders OF the
present deceive nobody. Mr.. Cleveland
and the Democratic majority of the
House of Representatives are indeed the
most intelligent friends of the American
manufacturer and American workingman,
and by giving both free raw
material they aim to introduce them to
the markets of the world. In a speech
delivered in Brooklyn week ago Henry
Watterson showed that even Alexander
Hamilton never contemplated system
of high tariff imposts which should last
forever. AS a matter of fact Henry Clay,
who has been called the father of the
American system OF Protection, was ex-
ceedingly conservative in his views in re-
gard to the tariff. He aimed at the en-
couragement of our "infant manufac-
tures," and he had no idea that fifty
years after his efforts the iron masters
would stand like highwaymen and de-
mand tariff discrimination, all of whose
benefits they claimed for them
selves, many times greater in
amount than the highest pro-
tective duties he himself had
ever advocated. In letter written by
Mr.. Clay to Judge Beverly Tucker, and
which appears in The Letters and Times
ofthe Iylers, he thus embodies his views
"Since my return home have received
the letter which you addressed to me on
the 10th ult. Mr.. Wise correctly report
ed to you the opinion L entertained on
the several public matters mentioned in
your letter: 1st. That think the COM
promise of the tariff ought to be main
tanned without violation. / have invari-
ably defended it when assailed in the
Senate, and declared my purpose to
abide by it. When attacked it has been
by gentlemen from the North protesting
to be friendly to Southern inter-
ests, or by Colonel Benton, or
by gentlemen from the South. l have
supposed the South much more inter
ested than the North in keeping thatcon-
troversy closed by the compromise. In
the origin of the protective policy it was
never supposed by me or by others OF it's
friends, as far as l know their views,
that it was to be permanent. We in
tended it to be temporary, go as to enable
the American manufacturers to get
through their infancy, and to maintain
something like an equal competition with
the foreign. If asked at that period
whether we required a longer duration
to the policy than the year 1913, when
the compromise will take complete
effect, think no one would have de-
manded it."
Were the great Kentucky statesman
alive to-day he would be somewhat as.
tonished at the extremes to which his
doctrines have been pushed.

In THE controversy between the Chroni-
Gle and Postmaster Russ D. Stephens, of
Sacramento, Postmaster General Dickin-
son has decided in favor of the Chronicle.
1t will be remembered that our san
Francisco contemporary sent a large
quantity of its extra tariff edition to
Sacramento for distribution, and Mr..
Stephens held it for postage. Mr..
Dickinson rules that the Postmaster at
San Francisco having received this extra
matter, it was the duty of the Sacra-
mento official to assume that it was
rightly in his hands for distribution.
Thus one more controversy is settled.

the Council yesterday transacted some
solid business. The contracts for the

have been great boon to the communi-
ty if they had been begun earlier so that
they could have been of use when the

Initiating a Great Philanth II ropaSt.

b Every one remembe that immortal
creation of Dickens, Pecksnif. In the
domain of hypocrisy and oleaginous pro-
fessions of moral sentiments he even sur
passed the Tartuffe of Moliere. Pecksniff's s
great specially was the cultivation OF
beautiful sentiments and elevated emo
tions, combined with the practice of a
very sordid, sharping system of "moral
agriculture, to borrow happy charac-
terization from Wilkie Collins. In
phrase he was the perfection of pietistic
and Humanitarian profession; in practice
he was humbug and pretender. For
now these many months past the Repub.
lican party has been attitudinizing in the
role of the philanthropist. When the
Republican editor or orator happens to
think of the Mills bill and the working.
man at the same time his eyes
suffuse with tears, deep emotion
chokes his utterance and his thoughts
are too perturbed and fervid for utter
ance. He becomes at once the very in
carnation of benevolence, and he expects
the laooring man to call him Felix be-
cause he is his best friend.
In the early days of the ascendancy of
the Republican party in Pennsylvania
Republican love for the workingman was
so great that Republican manufacturers
made their employees, under the inspec.
tion of foreman, go up to the polls, and
vote ticket in colored paper through
which the names of candidates showed
in great black job type. They did this
because they loved the poor laborer and
thought that he might not understand
his own interests. However, there were
a great many people in Pennsylvania at
that time who were not Republicans,
or who, if some OF them were, were not
Republican philanthropists of the
Pecksniff order, and who raised a
great howl about this invasion of
the wage earners' rights. This
resulted in the passage Of bill at the
next session of the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture which gave the workingman Sc
cret ballot, thus taking him away from the
kindly supervision Of bis kind Republi-
can guardians, who were as gracious to
him as Pecksniff tried to be to Tom
Pinch and his pupils in the noble art of
About twenty years ago the Republican
leaders of California were really as kind
to the workingman as these Pennsylva-
MIA Republican manufacturers to whom
we have just referred. They were then
as now in favor of strict civil service re-
form. In consequence, the Republican
politicians who controlled the Mare Is
land Navy Yard got up a tape-yard ticket
which they compelled their en-
ployes to vote. for fear they
might possibly notunderstand their own
interests and vote wrong. This ticket
was printed on wide strip of paper,
in nonpareil type, and SO closely that no
was possible. The bosses
stood there to see this ticket voted.
There were even in California a lot OF
Republicans-not of the philanthropic
who, when they learned of this
benevolent action Of their philanthropical
brethren, joined the Democrats in raising
. big howl. This resulted in the pas
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-09-26

sage of an act OF the legislature which
secured to the voters secret ballot.
Now, as always, the laboring man is
an object of the extreme solitude of the
Republican party. The Republican
mine and mill owners are in agonies of
fear lest his wages should be
reduced, or lest he should be
prevented from not getting rich
through not having to pay war tariff
prices for every thing he uses or wears.
The protected Pennsylvania capitalists
are foremost in their effusive sympathy.
Harp6rs' Weekly, from 1861 to 1888 the
strongest buttress the Republican party
had in the United States, has sent one of
its artists down into the coal regions of
Pennsylvania to gauge the depth and
scope of this Republican sympathy with
the laboring man. lie found there an
Incredible depth of destitution. He
found that the wages Of the coal miners
ranged from sixty cents to dollar day
for work of the most exhausting descrip-
ton. He found that the mine owners
have for years been importing cheap
Hungarian and Italian labor in order to
grind the faces of their workingmen
and lower their wages. He found
the scanty earnings OF the work
man still further reduced by his
being compelled TO buy every thing
he used at the company stores at an adj
vance of from 25 to30 per cent. over what
he could get the same things for at other
stores, with the excessive war taxes still
further impoverishing him.
We will give one further illustration OF
the manufacturers tender regard for his
employees. One Barbour, a flax manu-
| facturer OF Patterson, New Jersey, ami
| calling himself an American born, wrote
a moving missive to the House Commit.
| tee OF Ways and Means imploring them
not to touch the tariff on his specialties
because it would lower the wages of the
American laborer. He ssid that he was
interested in similar industries in Ire
land which employed alb ut l 400 men,
and that there was only 81 500 difference
between the wages of the 700 men
he employed in the United States and
the l,400 he employed in Ireland. Mr..
Ford's immigration Committee of Con-
gress took up this matter and 10 and be-
hold! this same Barbour was discovered
to be wholesale importer OF cheap
labor from Ireland, through which he
beat down the price OF home labor.
Nor was that all. He also ran a iute
mill in Patterson, which he was then re-
moving to Allentown, Pennsylvania, be.
cause there he could get girls to do his
work for 81 week, just half of what he
was paying in Patterson.
Verify, the Republican tender love for
the workingman is something to excite
wonder and affection in that not always
grateful class. The love which David
bore to Jonathan, Damon to Pythias,
Achilles to Patroclus, was as nothing to
this prize sentiment The all-embracing,
overshadowing benevolence of Pecksniff
was its only prototype and only ex-
emp plar.
