FARMERS AND LIQUOR. SELLERS.
asked the Governor if he thought asri-
culture suffered under The tariff.
Said he: "i have often said that by the
last census there were not more than 10000
male adults on all the Pacific coast engaged
in agriculture. The entire number of men,
women and children in agriculture was
less tran 100000. Now, these 10000 men
supplied all the Pacific coast people with
bre3dstuffs and exported besides 100000
centals of wheat. 1t was done by the ap-
pifcation of machinery, and this should
t.ever be lost sight of in considering devel-
znent in America. Our people have met
nearly al the tantalzing conditions OPP
posed to them by invention. And one
thought l have always had in connection
with the university l am building, is tsiat
it shall aid mankind, especially in the
United States, to increase the food ana liv-
ing facilities, SO that there may be less
poverty. We have in California 10000
liquor-seners, equal to the number of per-
sons engaged in agriculture the che class
IS supplying human wants and the other
increasing them"
| REPUBLICANS AID DEMOCRATS COMPARED.
The conversation took turn in the d.
| rectioEl of politics and of Mr. Cleveland.
Mr.. Stanford said: 1.-THE Republican
plr!szy has so rauch intelligence in it that it
dfSagrees and looses control. The Demo
cratic party has always been governed by a
| minority, and l suppose always will be; ;
! they rather like master. Mr.. Cleveland,
lSuppose, IS popular with them because he
! makes it unhappy for their politicians
Some time ago there was q strike at Wa
/ satch, in the coal mines, and instructions
lcame from somewhere that the men should
! knock Of work. Nobody seemed to have
any grievance, but they knocked OF work
/ because the boss had ordered it and gave g
good deal Of bother 10 the coal interests and
the railroad, but finally other men were
obtained, and many of those strikers have
never had work since. They do not know
to this day why they were called from
work nor who was the boss This is a
good deal ike the Democracy, Is compared
to the Republicans.
| CLEVELAND AN AUTocEkT.
The Republicans quarrel if there is
ever so small boss to be seen in sight,
while the Democrats never become fully
enthusiastic till their feel their boss.
whether his name is Jackson or Cleveland.
Ar. Cleveland is very unpopular with these
Democratic Senators and Congressman, but
see how their Conventions obey him. An
Oriental country would hardly show a

am told that he has vetoed some forty
times as many bills as all other Presidents
put together. The veto power is liable to
| become very dangerous by its frequent ex-
ercise. The Romans had Tribunes who
exerted the veto power, and they finally
were supreme. The Presidents use of the
veto has made him very strong over his
party and over Congress. He can strike
out the appropriation for public building
and terrorize 200 Congressman out of 300
Such an exercise of the veto power do
not think was ever designed. The Execu-
tive, armed with such q great power as
| that-one man correcting four or five hun
dred in the Legislature-mest use it but
seldom. Add to that the Discretionary
power which Congress has conferred upon
| the Presidents Ministers-say the Secretary
OF the Treasury-and there never was
| time when the Executiver rules as now. Here
is the Secretary of the Treasury, authorized
at his discretion to lend money to this bank
or that, as he pleases. Of course the fiscal
power has to be careful how it offends him.
These assumptions very often come from
persons who have had but little previous
| acquaintance with the Government, and
| therefore do not have the fears of expe-
rienced heads"
