The farmer wants the best market for what he has
to sell. We want consumers. We want hungry
men, women and child en- % eat our grain and cur
country. We want mere mechanics said year
or two ago there ere too many farmers on the west
prairies for the good Of the farmers Of Henry
county. They have crowded their grain into our
market, and the price has been reduced. We want
more consumers. II we can set somebody TO bny
our produce we will get rich Farming implements
plements I'm Canada and Europe cost rs per cent
more than they do here. A self-binder that sells
here for $3.50 will sell In Naples for 1886. We are,
nevertheless paying teo much for everything"
We gree with you, Colonel, that we
should have more consumers and that
we have no market for our surplus. But
how are we to get 1t? If Blaine, and
you will not dispute him, is right and
that the Mckinley bill will not furnish
them; then we must look to reciprocity
with such nations who have hungry
men, women and children, and must
import provisions and there find mar
ket. The farmer, and soon the manu-
facturer too, must find a foreign market
for his products. 1t may not be without
interest, says an exchange, to scan the
direction of our foreign trade. By the
last report from the treasury we sold
abroad of cattle to the value of $25, ,673.-
1926, of which Great Britain took $24,-
6l2.513, and all the rest of the world
only 81 ,060, 1853. OF canned beef we sold
Sc, ,026, $40, of which Great Britain took
all but ST. ,269, ,207; of fresh beef we sold
$13, ,002, ,713, of which Great Britain took
all but ST. ,053, ,423, of salted beef we sold
3.799, ,735, of which Great Britain took
all but 81 ,l09, ,454; of pork products and
lard we sold $77, IA, 1881, of which Great
Britain took $48, 1850, ,40S. Those "British
paupers' are pretty high feeders and
rather good customers. England
threatens retaliation by assessing an
import duty on American products IL
the Mckinley bill should become law;
and France has already replied to this
Chinese wall measure by placing pro-
hibitory duty on Indian corn, and
Canada will probably do the same
thing. Mexico, also, will levy an ex-
port duty on silver and lead ores in or
der to force the removal of American
smelling works to her side of the Rio
Grande. The retaliatory legislation
commenced by these nations will
probably be followed by others, and q
concerted effort will be made to punish
our people for the folly of their legisla-
tors. 1t is the natural thing to do.
AS to manufactured articles being
cheaper at home than abroad, you know
Colonel, is false.
The Chicago Herald has collected
from different sources q list of export
and domestic prices, and prints as a
sample from the long catalogue this ia
Bile of prices at which few articles of
American manufacture, most of them
in common use among farmers, can be
bought in small quantities for export
compared with the prices demanded

Take tin for instance. Most of IL is procured in
Wales, and OF the amount produced by the Welch
is sold to this country. Our own cap
italfsts said "put duty on tin and we will make 1t
~ nome. Inis mas been done. and already tin
manufactures are springng up over the country as
IL By magic since the passage Of the bill. Soon we
will be able to sell 1t cheaper than at present. much
cheaper than OF present.
Again, Colonel, we are little incred-
ulous, and must ask, is that so? Where
are the tin factories in the United
States? They certainly must be in en-
brio and in great danger of miscarriage.
What says Wannamaker, Harrison's
post master general, as to tin being
cheaper2 Ina business advertisement
printed in Philadelphia paper, where
his business is carried on, the day be-
fore the Mckinley bill YVES signed by
the President, he says:
Tinware is advancing in cost, aud rerysoon the
manufacturers sciH hare the,r tcGy and you and
toe tcsH hdue TO pay Gerry much more.
In view Of this state Of things, we made sonae
time since o large purchase of kitchen tinware at
what was low price then, and would be far lower
jists. d.
This lot goes on sale to-day at prices that wis1
not 6eseeR Ggdinfor long time to come.
Tariff means tax, and tax means ex-
ira prices. The tax on tin plate is in
creased by the Mckinley law. John
Wannamaker knows what he Is talking
about. He is in Harrison's cabinet. He
laid in big stock Of tinware and tells
the people prices will advance. The
people must pay the extra price in con-
sequence of the passage of this Repub-
lican high tax measure.
-
In all frankness, Colonel, is this not
bit Of demagoguery, a wee bit?
Right here In Cotton you can then sell your pro-
duce much higher, because home market will have
been created, and 1t will be consumed here.
How is the tariff to furnish addition
al consumers for butter, eggs, wheat,
meat, or anything else produced by the
farmer? Blaine, certainly good Repub-
lican authority, says: 1.-THE Mckinley
bill will not produce market for one
bushel of wheat or one barrel of pork. y
This is plain. We all know that not
more than one half of the grain raised
by the farmers of the United States il
consumed at home, and that we must
find a market abroad for our surplus;
and If it is true, as you, Colonel, say in
the same speech, that the Mckinley
bill will drive the foreign manufacturer
from the United States, does any one
suppose that be will buy our supplut
grain when India, Egypt, Russia, Bra.
I'll and other parts Of the world are
ready to deal with him !? Next time,
Colonel, talk a little more reason.

IN SECOND PLACE.
Colonel Robinson Does Not Prove
to Be a Lucky Mascot.

The Frscos gained the second place in the
league yesterday by defeating the Colonels
The weather was cold and chilly and the
attendance rather small. Colonel Robin
sons appearance on the Oaklands' bench
had poor effect upon the Colonies, as Shaw
pitched wild and uncomfortable ball and
Lohman made some wild throws to bases
and allowed balls to pass him at critical mo-
rents.
Coughlan went into the box with a digni-
fed and confident expression on his face and
pitched good game, while Speer at times
seemed to act with a great deal Of anxiety
and allowed the Colonies to score some Of
their runs on passed balls.
The Friscos opened the game by scoring
three runs in the first inning, and then fol-
lowed up their good work in the second by
scoring three runs on EDright's triple to
right field. Then Ebright scored on an er-
ror and Everett got in another on Speer's safe
hit, making five runs, with nine men at the bat
In the fourth Firms men scored two
more runs, while the Colonies up to this
time were not ON the board. In the fifth
n O'Neil scored run and in the sixth bis
team had streak of luck. Charley Doo!ey
played one of his doubles and scored on one

Firms men scored one in the seventh and
another in the ninth, while DUNCAN scored
on Speer's error and Lehman put up
another on N. O'NeiPs hit in the eighth.
While Mcdonald brought Sweeney and
Lehman home on his single in tue ninth.
Throughout the game Willie Walter ="
Veach amused the spectators with his funny
remarks of encouragement to the Friscos,

monkey actions and sarcastic expressions

the Librarian be reduced from $3.50 to $500
per month. This, with another motion made
by him to add drop-lights and other con-
veniences to the library rooms, were re-
ferred TO the Board of Trustees.
The matter of proposed amendments was
then taken up, and James III. Barry's, to
notify members by mail Of quarterly meet
ings, was passed, as was also that of Charles
r. Story in regard to holding quarterly
meetings. All others were laid over until
the next meeting.

DRAINAGE FOR RICHMOND.
An Elaborate Plan Proposed by the
City and County Surveyor.

An Elaborate Plan Proposed by the
City and County Surveyor.
In compliance with resolution passed by
the Board of Supervisors last December,
contemplating the drainage of the outside
land district commonly designated as Rich
mond, City and County Surveyor Smith filed
a series OF maps with the Board of Super
visors last evening, accompanied by elaborate
specifications. The district covers about
100 acres, embracing about all the territory
lying between Golden Gate Park and the
Preside and west of Lau rel Hill Cemetery.
Mi. Smith says in his report that he has
been trying for four years TO induce the
Board OF Supervisors to adopt a better Sys-
TEN of drainage Tor the city, and this is the
first forward step that has been TAKEN He
regards this district as one that will in time
be the most important in the city, and hence
recommends that all possible attention be
paid to the system proposed. If the system
ia properly carried out that districs will be
the healthiest in the city. The report enters
into the most minute details of what he
thinks is the best system for this section,
and declares:
1t was first thought advisable to subdivide
this great area into smaller districts embracing
only a few acres. These districts were treated
under what is known as separate system, or
one where the surface water is excluded from
the house drainage. The method adopted here
lin the plans for the disposal Of this water Is by
means OF guttefways along the street. When
such point Is reached that this water II con-
tlnued on the surface, would, by reason OF Its
volume, become an Inconvenience TO travel aud
dangerous 10 The paving and other Improve
ments II Is admitted TO the sewers. which from
that point are designed under the theories OF the
comblued system and continue TO receive con-
tribulions OF surface water at intervals from
smaller districts.
By adopting this plan Mr.. Smith estimates
that there will be a great saving in the orig
inal expense of constructing the drains in
the smaller districts or for length of 49,
800 feet OF sewers out of total length Of
213,s00 feet To be added to this is the
amount saved by doing away with the ne
cesSity of catch-basins in these districts,
which is always so considerable. BY this
plan is also reduced to a minimum the dan
gers from sewer gas.

read by her husband. The paper called for
the better preservation of the hieroglyphies
on the rocks for the purpose of chronological
study. Accompanying the paper were sew
eral photographs of pictures on the rocks.
They embraced characters not diSSlmllar to
those of the Chinese, but not so uniform
and logical of those of Egypt.
DR.. Gustav EiSen, in speaking on the sub
ject after the paper was read, said that there
were several thousand such inscriptions in
San Luis Obspo County in cave, and 9TH
erS in Santa Barbara and Tulare counties.
He moved that a committee be appointed
for the purpose OF preserving the remains
of inscriptions. The motion passed, and
Messrs. Eisen, Hlttell and Rixford were ap-
pointed.
Charles Keller read paper on the distri-
button of the English sparrow and its men

Carlos Tr0yer suggested that since the
bird is a grain-eater it is fit for food, an d
that he had found it such. 1t has been tried
by several local restaurants and found very
good for food.

ROSH HASHANNAH.
Opening of the Jewish New Year
Celebration.

The Jewish New Y ear, 5651, began yester-
day morning with solemn obseryances in
all of the synagogues and entire abstinence
from business. The celebration began at
shutdown OF the previous evening, when all
orthodox Israelites repaired to their tenn
Piles and joined in the short bnt impressive
ROsh Hashannah services, preliminary to the
obseryaIces of the next few days, which are
known as days of Awe"-a season of peni-
tence and prayer.
Yesterdays ceremonies were largely of
musical character, and none of the syna-
gogues were too poor to blend their prisons
7 with the most enhancing music at COM
mand. In addition to this numerous mystic
rites made the services interesting and i'm
pressive. The atfoda, or invocation, and the
sounding of the shOfar or rams horn, were
specimens of these. The former was per-
formed while the congregation knelt and as
Jews kneel but twice year in their devo-
tons this in itself is out of the usual order
of things. The sounding of the horn is COM
memorative of the substitution of rain in
stead of Isaac, whom Abraham was about
to sacrifice, and is intended to summon to-
gether ali followers of Israel.

AT the Mason-street Synagogue an I'M
mense congregation was assembled to listen
to the musical service composed by the or
ganist, Professor g. A. Scott. The ofiiciat-
ing cantor, Rev. ID. Meyerson, possessing a
rich and highly cultivated barytone voice,
added greatly to the interest of the pro-
gramme, as he is one OF the finest opponents
of Jewish music on the Coast. Mrs. Semi

REMARKS BY PROPERTY OWNERS.
The matter of opening up all the streets
betw cen Nineteenth ana Iwenty-third west
erly to the Corbett road was discussed by o
number of tie property-owners in that dis
trict. The speakers who were not bur-
dened with much wealth were impassloned
in their opposition TO any increase in their
taxation, while the wealthy haranguers
fought as tenaciously in favor of improve
ments.
Supervisor Ellert objected to a motion
made by Supervisor Barry to refer the mat
ter back to the Street Committee, and asked
that the roll be called. The vote stood:
Ayes--Bingham. Wright. Pesca, Bush, Pllster,

Andrew Butts Startling Descent to the

At 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the Sth
inst Andrew Butts, residing at Wiggans'
Patch, near Mahoney City, Pa. started out
with his two children, boy and girl aged
respectively and 8 years, for walk. The
children had hold of his hands. He took
only five steps from his back door, when
the earth opened and he dropped out of
sight into the old Bear Run Collieiy.
The caYe-in was a clear-cut hole not more
than three feet in diameter. Butts had
presence of mind enough when he found
himself sinking to let go Of the children's
hands. The little ones were left behind
standing on opposite sides of the hole.
Had the hole been a foot wider both chill
dren would have gone down also. When
the children recovered from their fright they
screamed for help. Their mother came to
the scene, and seeing what had occurred,
she ran through the village giving the alarm.

sounded and found to be thirty-eight feet
deep.
Butts could not be seen, but his gToanS
were distinctly heard, and proved thatshe
was still alive. a rope was procured and
let down, and in a few minutes they heard n
feeble voice calling on them to "hoist." In
a few minutes Butts was landed OH the sur

and hurt internally. and il is feared that he
cannot recover. No earth fell on the top OF
