THE STRENGTH OF THE DEMO
CRATIC POSITION.

The highest intelligence n the best
thought of Che hour are on the side of
Democratic party in this campaign
This statement may shock some sensi-
tive natures, but let us look for the evil
dence of its absolute truth.
We all concede that there are no
great overshadowing moral questions
in issue in this campaign. There are
no new questions of constitutional con-
struction, or involving our foreign poll
cy. The vital issue is purely economic.
First and foremost comes the question
of the vast government surplus. We
find our taxes are excessive; or far in
excess of the legitimate needs Of gov
eminent. How shall we dispose of
this surplus? or how shall we regulate
our tariff taxes so as to prevent this
accumulation Of dead money, in the fu-
ture?
What does the best intelligence of the
press, the forum and the pulnit pro-
pose, as the wisest and best solution?
In a Republic, supposed to be governed
by the best intelligence, these ought to
be our teachers.
Today we propose to take up the re-
ligious press. In the past quarter of a
century this press, in the Northern
states, has very largely been in sympa-
thy with the aims and purposes of the
Republican party. If this press has
changed now, it indicates that either
the press has changed, or that the Re
publican party has changed.
Take the Christian Union, the Chi
cago Standard and the Advance. The
Christian Union says:
"There is a surplus in the treasury of
S125,000,000 and an annual increase
threatened of $60,000,O00. If this ac-
emulation goes on the country will
soon be involved in hopeless bankrupt
cy, because in that case the money
which commerce needs will be locked
up in the treasury vaults. To protect
the nation from this serious menace
two policies are proposed. The Demo-
cratic party proposes to contine appro-
priations of public money to such sums
as are necessary for an economical ad-
ministration of the government; to re-
tain the tax on alcohol; to modify the
tax on tobacco, and to reduce the tax
on imports by admitting raw materials
free of duty and by reducing taxes
on all articles of necessity.
The Republican party proposes to abol-
isht the tax on tobacco: to abolish also
the tax on alcohol used in the arts and
manufactures; if necessary, to do away
| with the national tax on alcohol alto
gether; to retain the present tax on i'm
ports substantially %unchanged; to re-
tain it, not because it is necessary for
revenue, but because it will foster and
promote American manufactures.
With this explanation we put the poll
cies of the two parties in parallel col
umns, to make apprehension of the
difference between the two easier and
clearer:

The Christian Union is against the
whole Republican program. 1t says:
"We believe that it has vital relations
to the future of u country. We be
lieve that the coming election will be
likely to settle the trend of national life
for some years to come. Nor have we
any wish to conceal u personal pred
Elections and prejudices. They are in
favor of economical expenditures and
a lowered tariff"
The Chicago Standard considers the
high tariff and free whisky plank of
the Republican platform to be very
much worse than a simple blunder. 1t
says the plank is properly construed 20
mean free whisky, and to be a way of
escape from any expedient for reduc-
ing the treasury surplus which must
involve modification of the present
tariff.
The Chicago Advance gives us these
burning words:
mo doubt the indignation will be
deep and widespread in view of the cow
ardIy and wicked refusal of the COM
mittee on the platform in the Republi-
can convention, to voice the sentiment
of all good citizens respecting the pro-
lection which the government ought to
afford the home against the saloon. 1t
was a grievous blunder. 1t was a kind
of blunder which amounts to a crime.
1t was just the kind of blunder which
the merely cunning politician without
conscience or moral sense is prone to
make"
We commend the above u%tterances to
all that deluded class of citizens who
are prone to talk of the great party of
progress and moral ideas.

ONE of the most remarkable cir

ONE of the most remarkable cir
C umstances connected with the news
paper debate upon the new charter is
the refusal OF its advocates to allude
to the fatal defect in the instrument
relating to the appointment of Board
of Health. In one place it authorizes
the Mayor to appoint the members of
the Board, and in another it confers
the same appointing power upon the
Council. We ask the advocates
of the charter how they are going to
reconcile these conflicting provisions.
No answer. We show that it will
be impossible to have legal Board of
Health under this blundering instru-
ment; but they studiously avoid the
poiat, and harp on what they
call "the superiority OF this char
ter over the one we have" Their
failure to explain how this conflict in
the appointing power can be remedied
if the new charter should be adopted,
is equivalent to q confession that it
cannot be remedied. That confirms
our position that we can have
no legal Board of Health under the
proposed charter. This is enough,
without going step farther, to con-
denim it. Just think of city like Los
Angeles with no legaiized body to
carry out sanitary measures or other
important duties attaching to the
Health Department.

Our local columns to-day contain
report of rich strike in oil in Ven
tura county. The well is said to be
an exceptionally fine one. Our South.
ern California oil measures are OF
wide extent and particularly rich.
Besides oil we have rich gas-bearing
strata in abundance, and when the oil
and the gas deposits shall both have
been thoroughly exploited there
will be a supply of cheap fuel such as
no section can surpass in. And when
this shall have been done, we shall
have all our manufactures made here
at home. Those who erect fine
blocks like the one now going up on
the corner of Spring and Second streets
will not need to so to Chicago or St.
Louis for their iron fronts. Hasten

the Old World and send them here in

the Old World and send them here in
order to keep down the rates of wages.
Until the immigration of these starv-
ing people of Europe can be stopped,
no degree of protective tariff, however
high, can avail to raise the pay of the
American laborer. The full benefit OF
the protection must go into the pock-
cts of the rich employers, who do not
need such benefits. 1t is in vain to
expect men whose interests lie SO
much in the direction of cheap Ia
Dor to advocate any cause whose
effect would be to raise the rate Of
labor. It is not in human nature.
Men do not seek, in business way,
the interest of others, at the expense
of their own. For twenty years the
advocates of high tariff bave been
telling us such a policy will raise our
wages. Let us see some such results,
and we will believe it, but wage
earners are tired Of these threadbare
promises hitherto barren of results
We want facts and not theories.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen, who was
Secretary of State under Arthur,
gives these statistics: The aver
age wages OF English cotton mill
operatives is $251 head, while the
same class in the United States aver
age only $l9o--a difference in favor OF
England Of $6l in hard cash. More.
over, in England the hours OF toll are
four to six per week less than in
America. Nor is that all--the Amer
ican mill operative pays fifty per cent.
more for his clothes, sixty-two per
cent. higher for his shoes, one humid
red per cent. more for his fuel, eighty
per cent. more for rent, and sixteen
per cent. more for his groceries than
does the English wage-earner. The
sum of the matter is that, in this
class, the English toiler's labor is
worth twice as much to him as ours.
And the longer we live under this high
protective tariff system the worse off
v we get; the higher the protection, the
harder the toiler has to struggle to
keep soul and body together. Charles
d. Weaver says: ri was living in
Baltic, Connecticut, where Hubs
mills are, previous to 1873. Tie girls
used to run six looms each and make
$44 to $4s per month. At present the
same girls run eight looms each, work
thirteen hours day and make only
$22 MONTH" Can the high protec-
tionists twist these facts into any
light favorable to the girls?

$SS, ,244, 900. From that date, too, for
ten years, there was a great annual
retirement OF the currency, and with
each J ear the failures were greater in
number, and much greater in amount.
In 1873 silver was demonetized, and
from that date the failures were
largely accelerated. The Silper Dol
lar gives a list up to 1873, in
which it shows that $500, ,42S AIS OF
the currency was retired, that there
were 5S,547 failures in the nine years,
and $1,670,0Oo,0OO losses by these
failures. In the last year given, 1877,
the failures were 1900 in number
and the loss by them aggregated
$500, 100000. Let us have silver to
pay our way with.

MANY OF Ex-Governor Downey's old
friends have called upon him since he
arrived here Monday, and are glad to
find that his health is anything but
as frail as they had been led to be-
lieve it was. He is in ex-
cellent spirits, and has made
up his mind TO remain here
and take charge OF his princely
estate. The Governor has been ab-
sent from the scshe Of his business
activities and trlumphs for three years,
and during that time has travelled ex-
tehsively all over the world. 1t looks
like old times to see his familiar face
once more in our streets.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-04-26

THAT high protective tariff is no
benefit to labor is most manifest in
the wages now paid to operatives in
New England mills and to the
"hands" on New England farms.
One dollar a day is regarded as ex-
cellent pay for ull-grown, competent
men in the New England factories,
and $25 per month is the utmost OBJ
tainable on the farms in the Eastern
States. These are the very rates paid
before the war when the tariff was
about as low as ever it was in the
United States. This is not a Free
Trade lecture; it is a simple state
ment of facts. Protection benefits the
manufacturer, and not the laborer. It
never VIII protect the wage-earner
until there is an embargo put on
cheap lal or from foreign lands. Free
Trade is theoiy-a mere doctrine.
The Government must be supported !;
this support must come from taxa
tion; this taxation, in the main, must
be levied on imports. AS soon as suffi-
cient revenue is raised for the support
OF the Government, there is no more
reason for further taxation; the line
should be drawn at that point. Now,
in raising this revenue, let the taxes
be SO adjusted as to afford incidenta
protection to new industries, to those
which meet the most active competi-
ton fro % without, to those which will
be most generally carried on in the
greater number of the States of
the Union. Let the schedule be re-
vised from time to time-not too fire.
quently-i order to keep the revenue
at the proper point, and in order to
remove the protection from such in
dustries as have become sufficiently
strong to stand alone, and
give it's benefits to newer
enterprises which in their infancy
m any require protection from foreign
competition. Let the luxuries of the
rich bear large share OF the burdens
OF taxation, and let the necessities of
life be made as easily procurable as
possible to the less wealthy masses Of
the people. That is and always has
been pure Democratic doctrine.

4 Lasersnx Man on the Tariff.

The HERALD is in receipt Of a letter
from q genuine laboring mana wage
earner-which sheds much light on
the views of this class on the tariff
discussion now engrossing the coun-
try. We regret that the length of the
communication precludes our publish
ing it in its entirety; but, as there is
. great deal Of Misrepresentation in
many quarters as to the attitude of
the toilers toward the tariff, a few of the
points made are condensed as follows !:
Are The industrial classes SO stupid
as to think that the class of men,
manufacturers and other employ
ers of labor, whose sole
aim Is to make money out of labor.
who by all means seek to impress
their employees with sense of infer
1ority, who disregard the necessitous
conditions Of those in their employ,
Who trample on their rights as citi-
sens Whenever they can--do the
MASSES suppose that such men are
sincere when they pirate about the
benefit to labor Of high protective
tariff? The monopolists of the coun-
~, the privileged classes, whose pur.
- are filed by the operation Of un-
lust and unnecessary taxation, use

small Productive Farms.

A number Of colony schemes, hav-
ing in view the subdivision Of large
ranc hes in this county and settling
upon them, in small farms, families
from the East, are now being
prom oted with great energy by
the syndicates that have them
in charge. These projects are
of the utmost importance to the
development Of our county. 1t is
upon the agricultural productions Of
the mall farms and orchards of this
sections that cur future prosperity
will in a great measure depend.
Every successful subdivision, OF our
large ranches will have a tendency
to people our county with industri-
Gus families. We have paid a great
deal of attention to the attraction of
wealthy people here from the East.
That is Eall right. We want all of
these we can induce to come. But
We should not neglect the class
which constitutes the source of
all prosperity-the class of small
means but of large energy and tirele.s
ind ustry. Small tracts of farming
land at reasonable cost is what will
give US a large ehare OF this valuable
kind of immigration. There
is no lack of good land
suited to this class. The great New
hall ranch would give productive
homes to thousand industrious fam
lilies. That is to be cut up and placed
within the reach of Eastern farmers
who want to come here. This is only
one of a dozen ranches in this
county which will soon be SUBJ
divided and sold in moderate
sized farms at prices per acre within
the reach Of the purses of farmers
from the other side of the Rockies.
The industrious husbandman who
judiciously cultivates forty acres in
South ern California will realize largef
returns for his labor than he would
from 1850 acres in the older States.
With this advantage there is no
reason why a well-directed effort to
settle up our extensive ranches
should not succeed. We feel assured
that the movements now on foot to
cut up these large ranches and to
settle them with small farmers will be
energetically carried out. The soil of
Los Anseses county would support a
million people easily, and it is only a
question Of short time when our city
will form the business capital Of q
population that will render her as
large and as opulent as San Francisco
now is.
