Probably no community of people

After the port manteau was found to be

A MILLION DOLLAR FIRE IN BAN
FRANCISCO

On the 9th inst, in the afternoon,
destroying three blocks and or atty
damaging three others. We take a few
particulars from the dispatches to the
Oregoniaa:
SAN Francisco, Sept. ga disas-
trous fire broke ont this afternoon in the
sash and door factory of Day, Huber &
Croker on Main street. The entire fire
department Of the city was called out and
the FIRE is only now under control. The
burnt district embraces two whole blocks
which were entirely consumed and three
blocks which are almost total loss.
The loss at present is estimated at
81 100000.
PARTICULARS OF THE CONFEDERATION.
Seldom in the history Of San Fran
cisco has the fire department been called
upon to make war with such unmanagc-
able flames as those which caused gen
eral alarm to be sounded shortly after
o'clock this afternoon.
The fire started 10 the sash. and blind
and door factory Of Day, Huber &
Croker, at No. 160 Main street, near
Howard, on the ground floor Of the
factory. When the 6remcn arrived on
the spot the flames had attacked the
inAammable material stored in the
factory and by the time water from tho
hose had commenced pouring into tht
building the roof had caved in and The
flames were cracking above il.
The total loss is now estimated at 81
1000, 900, WITH an Insurance Of 5000, 900
/ The FIRE swept the three blocks run
lining east from Main street to the bay
aud bounded on the north by Mission
and on the south by Howard streets
The blocks on the opposite sides O
Howard and Mission streets were ais,
partially consumed. The FIRE is sup
posed to have started from a spark frou
the furnace. About two thousand mel
we're thrown out of employment. Yer.
:: many buildings were old and deemed o
too little value to insure. One maj

more we're severely burned.

JlNGO jim ON WAGES.
Convincing Evidence That the Repr
lican Claims About Wages Is a Fraud

Convincing Evidence That the Repub-
1ican Claims About Wages Is a Fraud.
EXTRACT from Report of James G. Blaine, Sec
retary OF State in the Cotton Goods Trade
OF the World" dated Department of State,
Washington June 20, 1881, pages 0S and 99.l
Owing to the different arrangements of the
English and American tables OF wages, II is diff
icult 10 give comparative analysis thereof,
which would show at n glance the difference in
the wages OF the operatives OF both countries.
The wages of spinners and weavers in Ian
cnshire and in Massachusetts, according to the
foregoing statements, were as follows per
week: Spinners English, $40 to $40 (master.
spinners running as high as s12); American,
S707 to S10.30
Weavers: English, s3s5 to 1854, subject,
at the date on which these rates were given,
to reduction OF 10 per cent; American, Sa.S2
to 1878.
The average wages Of employees in the Mas.
suchusetts mills is as follows according to the
official returns: Men, $50; women, S. e.; male
children, s311 female, $685. According to
Consul Shaw's report the average wages OF the
men employed in the Lancashire mills on the
first of January, 1850, was about $500 per week,
subject to u reduction OF 10 per cent; women
from s3.4o to s4.3o, subject to u reduction of 10
per cent.
The hours OF labor in the Lancashire mills
are fifty-six; in the Massachusetts sixty per
week. The hours OF labor in the mills in the
other New England States, where the wages
are generally less than in Massachusetts, are
usually sxty-six and sixty-nine per week.
Undoubtedly the Inequalities in the wages Of
English and American operatives are more
than tqualized 6y the greater efficiency of the
latter and their longer hours Of LABOR. II this
should prove to be fact in practice, as it seems
to be proven from official statistics, 1t would
be very important element in the establish.
ment Of our ability to compete with England
for our share OF the cotton-goods trade OF the
world.
In the two prime factors which may be said
to form the basis Of the cotton manufactur-
ing industry namely raw material and labor,
we hold the advantage over England In the
first. and stand upon an equality tcith her in The
second
Hav ng the raw material at our doors, it fol-
lows that we should be able to convert il
into manu- factures, all things being equal,
NTH more economy and facility than can bs done
6y England, which imports cotton and then
manufactures II in her mills, the expense OF
handling, transportation aud commission must
| be an important item In this regard, as COM
| pared with our turning in the fiber from the
cotton fields to our mills and shipping II in the
advanced form OF manufactured goods. Add
| TO this the secondary fact that it costs US no
moro to handle and manufacture tho same
than 1t costs In England, and we stand on an
undoubted equality, thus far. In the race OF
| competition.

How the Pittsburgh Iron-Msker Acquired
His Millions.

How the Pittsburgh Iron-Maker Acquired
His Millions.
Mr.. Blaine's closing speech in the
Maine campaign was devoted in part
to a defense of Andrew Carnegie and
the wealth he has accumulated in the
stcel-rail business. He seemed to con-
slider both a glorious eXemplification of
the workings of high tariff because
in the past seven years Mr.. Carnegie
had paid out $35,O00,000 in wages to
American working-men, which other
wise might have ''fowed bounteously
out OF the country" Mr.. Carnegie
was doubtless very considerate in re-
membering his employees, but still It
can hardly be called justification.
How much did he pay out to himself in
the same timep Mr.. Blaine does not
tell us, and yet this is a vital point. He
paid to his help the market rate of
wages and no more than the market
rate. He himself pocketed the enorm-
GUS profits that an excessive tariff
made possible.
Mr.. Blaine himself gives us some
idea of what these profits are. He
says that under protection steel rails
have fallen in price to nearly $2S. True,
steel rails can be made in this country
ut a fair profit ut that figure, but does
he not know that steel rails rarely sell
for SO low as $28 tonp Does he not
know that last year the average price
was $37 tonP Does he not know that
the manufacturers have combined be-
hind an excessive tariff and pushed
the price up to an extortionate figure.
pocketing yearly the proceeds and
sharing with labor not penny of 1t
alp And II steel rails have so fallen
in price, of what necessity is tariff
that prevents foreign rails from being
laid down in this country for less than
500 Il tonp We are told by the Repub-
licans that reduction from $17 to $11
ton in the tariff on rails as proposed
by the Democrats would ruin our steel
industries. But even this proposed
duty of S11 a ton would prevent the
Importation and sale OF foreign rails
In the United States at much less than
t32 ton. And yet Mr.. Blaine says
we can make rails for $28 ton. He
not only here exposes the unscrupu-
lous character OF the opposition to
this reduction. but he as well explains
just how Andrew Carnegie has made
his fortune, under the hospitality ol
which Mr.. Blaine took observations re.

A Republican Minister Of Great influences
Comes Out for Cleveland.
Rev. John Wilson, pastor Of the
First Presbyterian Church, Cincinnati,
one OF the most popular divines In
Ohio, and hitherto n strong adhcr-
ent OF the Republican party, has an
nounced his purpose to vote for Cleve-
land. While in Pittsburgh he said to
representative OF the Daily Post, OF
that city:
The thing that is causing me most concorn
outside Of my church - tho elect on OF Grover
Cleveland. sincerely hope he will be contin.
ued us tho occupant OF the White HOUSE, and
am pretty we'll satisfied that he will be.
base my confidence and faith in the good sense
and good Judgment Of the thinking people.
do not SEQ how they will make the mistake OF
putting In power the party OF high protection.
tits only question of mans ting down
and with IN unbiased mind considering tho
question. II ho does, he is sure to be % Demo-
crat this year.
The question on tarin reform appeals to tho
intelligence and reason, md 1t is Just ns plain
| MS day. It Is great mistake to advocate The
policy which would shut OF all Our trado reln-
tions with the balance of the world. That Is
not protection In tho true spirit, and It Is ns
unlike the protection that Hamilton and CAL
houn advocated az night IL like day
Our forefathcrs saw the necessity Of
giving our manufacturers boom, and they
put tarifi on imports which averaged some.
thing like per cent. This was sufficient when
our Industries were indeed in their infancy.
Now, why, when these infant industries have
grown to giant Nonopoles, grasping and
squeezing the very existence out OF all thnt aro
compelled to deal with them, Why must these
overgrown children be protected by tariff OF
| half u hundred per cents
The fact is, such policy is manifestly in the In
forest OF the great monopolies and against
every body else. and the Republicans have ut
last come out boldly as the friends Of these Sc
lect classes against the masses OF the people.
| The free-whisky plank Of the Republican plat.
| form does not admit OF argument There are
| but two Sides the moral and the immoral. The
proposition to let whisky go untaxed is such an
| insult to intelligence nnd morality that dont
| care to speak Of 1t. 1ie Republican party has
| so far fallen from what 1t once was that can
scarcely realize that once was strong and
| conscientious Republican.
| have always beon a Republican, but this
| year shall vote for Cleveland. Harrison is o
good man personally, although his political
| mistakes seem fatal. AS to Cleveland he has
proven himself q model President. He is O
man Of noble and patriotic impulses and right
motives. In my opinion his judgment in every
| thing he has done has been above honest criti
c.sm. feel confident he will be reelected.
