From the "American," the organ OF
the new American Party III California,
we take tho following, which exposes
some of the fallacies of our present
high tariff system. There is no party
clap-trap about it, for it is square,
honest bushel of American wheat,
TINT never has asked for Protection
for itself while refusing 1t to Its nel2h-
bors. 1t also lays bare the nigh
sounding, deceitful claim OF the MAUI
ufacturers--"the dignity Of American
labor"
However much We may argue or
Disagree with the principles 0t the
party which President Cleveland pro-
fesses to represent, it is evident that
as spokesman of the party, lie has
brought into promenince aud placed
clearly before the people OF the coun-
try an issue of vital importance to all.
that is a reduction of unnecessary tax
alton. And 1t would seem iG the na-
ture of things that system OF taxation
inaugurated and made necessary by
the exigencies OF great national
struggle, requiring the raising oil
thousands of millions of dollars, must
have some elements that are not
adapted to condition of peace, when
such requirements of expenditures are
no longer necessary. Instead OF dis
cussing the question of our taxation
calmly with an earnest desire TO REM
cdy it, we see that it has already be-
come a fruitful basis for making po-
litical capital and inducing the masses
to vote for our side. Politics Is a
trade, and political honesty seldom
rises above the consideration of how
to win, and in politics the end justi-
fies the means and all methods OF de-
ceit are fair. And We already see in
our prominent journals squibs and
caricatures, calculated to infame the
preiudices of the poor against the rich,
and to make them believe that the
proposed reduction of the tariff has,
for its sole object, the decrease in the
cost of Injuries to the latter and the
scaling down of the wages of the for
ner. Now as long as the American
people can be deceived by such shall.
low articles, just SO long will they
continue to be the tools OF the monop-
olists. the great trust companies and
the politicians.
In all this cry of protection to
American industry and labor there is
one item. aud that the most important
of all, that seems to have been entirely
ignored and lost sight of, and that is
protection tn the American laborer
himself. While heavy tax is placed
on every necessity of life, that IS liable
to come into competition with a fol-
eign production, the importation of
cheap foreign labor is practically free
and unrestricted.

The Supreme Court of California
has affirmed the decision of Judge
Sullivan in favor of Sarah Althea, in
the Sharon case. The amount of coun.
sci fees originally allowed by Judge
Sullivan was $55,0OO, and the amount
of alimony $4,000, and the additional
annual allowance $25,0O0. The Su-
preme Court Axes the alimony at
$1,000 and the annual allowance at
$4,000. The chief point in the decis-

we believe, Intentionally concocted for

occasion heretofore to refer to the Tribune's
Misrepresentation. in it's assumed advocacy
of General Gresham, and ones more we should
like to ask it what it expects to gain, either
for itself or its candidate, if it be honest in
his advocacy, by such course7 If General
Gresham was represented by Mr.. G. w. Fair
banks and Mr.. Harris at the conference. as
the Tribune says, those gentlemen know Mr..
Halford was not present. II will probably
occur to General Gresham's friends and adj
mirers that this sort of business will not
result in advantage. The journal does not
intend to quietly stand much more of it. and
serves fair notice to that effect here and now.

The New York Herald recently published
a special from this city in which it stated
that Governor Gray's friends were very in
dignant that ex-senator Mcdonald should
have voted for San Francisco as the place for
holding the Democratic national convention,
instead of Chicago or st. Louis. 1t was rep
resented that his object in sending the con-
vention SO far away was to injure Gray's
vice presidential prospects and that his action
was a tacit acknowledgement that he was OPP
posed to Gray. Mr.. McDonald's attention
being called to the dispatch, he said:
1.-THE dispatch contains but one truthful
item. l am opposed to Governor Gray as
vice-presidential candidate Perhaps at the
proper time ] may make public my reasons for
this opposition, but not now" q t-gr57 s.
Then he explained his vote in the commit
tee. This is immaterial now, but his state
ment that he is opposed to Governor Gray is
Enthusiastically frank. 1t is possible that
when Mr.. Mcdonald concludes to make public
his reasons for opposing Governor Gray they
may be found interesting.

INDIANA is the banner wheat-growing State,
the yield in 1887 exceeding that of Illinois,
the next on the list. by nearly one million
bushels. Indiana has never indnlged in I'M
due Boosting over its own greatness, but has
modestly permitted herself to be overshad-
owed by the self-glorifcation of other COM
monwealths, and, as a conseque nee, many of
her own residents are unaware of the relative
standing of the State in respect to agricult-
ural and mineral products. and other sou rces
of wealth and prosperity. Comparatively few
citizens, probably, if asked about the wheat
product, would venture to- rate Indiana even
second on the list, much less first. 1t is time

other words boom the State.

his disposition. and in its exercise he was
not only aided, but stimulated, by Bismarck
and his other advisers.
The death Of the Emperor viii cause pro-
found sensation throughout Europe and per-
haps serious complications in Germany. The
critical condition of the Crown Prince adds to
the delicacy of the situation. The present
crisis has been foreshadowed for some time,
and arrangements have doubtless been made
to meet it. Bismarck is not the man to allow
such an emergency to oyertake him unawares.
But whatever preparations have been made,
the situation win be productive of consider
able tension. The Crown Prince is deserved
ly popular, and if he is able to assume control
of affairs there will be comparatively little
friction But his son, Prince William, is very
narrow-minded and unpopular, and his ac-
cession to power, whenever it occurs, will not
be happy omen for Germany.
