OUR SAN FRANCISCO LETTER.
SAN FRANcrsco, July LIST.

disliked and feared by Foraker of
Ohio, who has presidential aspira-
tons himself; another was that he
was loyal to Sherman; but the po-
tent one was that the Blaine men did
not want him. If they could not
succeed in getting unanimous
nomination they wanted man who
would pc acceptable to the trusts,
corporations and monopolies; hence
Harrison, n corporation attorney
and avowed enemy of labor unions
and pro-Chinese advocate was
chosen.
Levi p. Morton, New York and
London banker, was put on the
ticket with him to furnish the
"sack," and q private circular has
been issued to manufacturers by
the Republican committee pointing
out that as this tariff fight is in their
interest exclusively they should
subscribe literally to "protect Am
erican industry" The Chinese are
putting up a big purse for the Re-
publican candidates.
The great party of 'moral ideas"
has fallen very low when its plat
form resolves itself into high taxes
on the necessarics of life and free
whiskey and tobacco. Repeal the
internal revenue taxes on whiskey
and tobacco they say if there be q
surplus, but in any case increase
the taxes through the Custom
House, imposing duties upon arti-
Giles in common use not imported,
to enable the manufacturers to form
pools or trusts to keep up prices.
The Republican platform made a
bid for the Irish note, but it was an
afterthought, and done in q mala-
droit way. Irish nationalist are
tackled on to Brazilian niggers in a
way that suggests the idea that the
''grand old party" thinks more of
the sons of Ham, even the most de-
based of their race in the savanahs
of Brazil, than the sons of Milesius,
of Brian Boru, Wolfe Tone, Rob-
ert Emmett, and the rest of the
worthless famed in Irish song and
story. Testing aside, the reference
to the Irish national party and
cause, in its connection, in the Re-
publican platform, was an imperti-
netIce which both English and Irish
voters will not be apt to forget on
the 9th Nov. Gladstone and Par
nell are two of the very highest pro-
ducts of Anglo-SaXon civilization,
and to tack them on to RI" .z,ior
imperidists, as ~ H.. advocates Of q
.H.ulner cause and q lower order Of
human intelligence than the slave:
of Brazil, is an offence which vii
bringit its own punishment at the.polls
The New York Sugar Trust tt
which so many of the Hawaiian
planters belong has issued a circu
lar to brokers, hoycotting all out
side sugar. They are to Jose thri
commission on sales if they handle
any but trust sugar. Public appre
citation cannot be wen in this way
but the Trust is insolent 1t con
trolls two-thirds of free Hawaiian
sugar which it uses as a club t,
knock down all opposition, and a
Spreckel's new refinery will not b
completed for year it means t.
have its way meanwhile. Doubles
your planters will get great dea
