speaking and music made the evening

Associated Charities were fully set

are now clearly informed of the
important work the organization has
undertaken. If this institution
receive the support here that similar
ones have received in Eastern cities
it will be boon to our people. Co
operating with all the other benevo-
lent organizations, and exercising the
functions Of central power, it will
direct the charities OF the city in
channels that will accomplish the most
good. 1t will render fraudulent beg
gary improbable, and relieve want
that ought to be relieved, The money
that is now more than wasted upon
impostors will be saved, or be
directed to worthy and mer.
itorious objects. Every person ir
the city ought to become member o.
this orga nization. The fee is only one
dollar year, and if the membership
becomes as large as it ought to be
come, this fee will be found the very
best invest ment one can make.

CITY Justice of the Peace-we had but
one until day or two ago-was abso'
lutely forced to cry for help, because
of MS inability to do the routine work
in his line of city. of $4,000 souls.
The Justice has been rendered abso-
lutely ill by the strain on his nervous
system. The labors of the Office called
for fifteen or more hours work each
day. So the Supervisors did the proper
thing-indeed it was necessary thing
under the circumstances-and created
a second Justiceship for this city. That
their action in the premises will be
sustained by the tribunal of last
resort is not to be questioned. In
1884 the Great Register of this county
showed 5000 voters resident within
the municipality of Los Angeles.
Two years ago the new edition OF the
record Of voters contained nearly
5000 duly qualified citizens. Many
months ago the books at the Clerks
office showed that since the printing
of the Register two years ago, there
had been 1000 additional names of
voters enrolled; and there are
more than 1000 citizens in the
county whose names are not yet in
cluded in any of the lists referred to-
The City Of Los Angeles contains TO-
day not less than 10000 qualified
voters. To justify the action
of the Supervisors in this, re-
quires that there be not less than
20, 900 souls in the city. The certain
possession of 10, 900 voters will settle
that beyond a donbt. In very fact
the City of Los Angeles at this mo
ment numbers about $4,000 people

told will much exceed $1,000, and the

PRorEcrroN1srs find their hardes

PRoTEcTIoNIsTs find their hardest
task when they come to show the
farmer the benefits accruing to him
from the extreme protective princi-
ciple. 1t is hard to convince the in
telligent laborer of this proposition,
but it is doubly difficult to open the
eyes OF the granger to the beauties
of taxation, as a means OF making
him rich. Mr.. Wilson, OF Iowa, en-
courages the farmer to clamor for
protection on all he produces. What
he is going to do with the revenue is
not di sclosed. The fact is, the Amerl-
can farmer cannot be directly pro-
tected. Our domain is too broad,
our population is too sparse
our soil is too prolific,
its productions too various. The
broa d land of America embraces near
" all climatic zones, and her fertile
fields, her rich mines, her great for
ests, yield nearly every commodity OF
value on the globe. In most OF these
we produce much more than we con-
sumo. To produce less than we do is
stagnation in business and ruin to the
farmer. He is enterprising and am
bilious, like all his fellow citizens.
He desires to enlarge his operations.
He wants the world for his market,
in order that his surplus cereals,
fruits, wines, minerals, may be sold
there, and return coin to his pocket.
1t is even gravely said that but for
direct protection the American farmer
in his wheat would be brought into
competition with the serf labor OF
Russia and the peon labor OF India
Well. in the name of all the gods al
once, is he not? Do we not export
millions of tons of wheat? How
could any duty on wheat be required
to keep it from coming into our ports
The price of this cereal at Chicago
Yesterday was ~ cents. The farmer
scarcely got 60 cents for his wheat.
One cent per pound! Can ii
be produced for less? Our sur
plus by the million tons is
sold in Liverpool, in London, in Ant
werp, in Bordeaux. Topreventits sale
there would be to ruin two-thirds o
all the farmers in the America Union
In those marts our farmers come into
the most direct and severe competi-
ton with the wheat raised along the
Dnieper, the Volga and the Sacred
Ganges. No protection that even the
advoc ates of tariff for protection could
devise can prevent this. Notarif they
can devise can protect the farmer in
the greater number Of the crops he
grows. The farmer may be willing
to pay his just share OF the taxes
necessary for an economical admins
tration Of his Government. But he is
likely to continue, as he is, a vigorous
kicker against the unjust and un'
necessary policy Of taxing him tc
protect rich manufacturers, to pile ur
money in the Treasury, and cause
stagnation in the channels of trade.

all the benefit Of taxation for surplus
goes into the pockets of the wage
earners, whose ear he has. His latest
exploit-a very plausible presentation
OF the case-may be seen in the March
number of the atlantic Monthly. Mon
eyed monopolies do not pay men to
advocate sincerely the cause OF labor.
