SUGAR FROM ROOTS.

The industry of producing sugar from
roots has reached a stage at which any i'm
prOvement tends to cheaper the product.
Sugar from cane and sugar from roots stand,
so far as TIE tariff is concerned on the same
ground. All sugar produced in the United
States is entitled to the Government bounty
of 2 cents pound. But the cane product
appears to be limited in amount. In several
years of adequate protection from foreign
sugar it has not greatly increased its average
yield. Sugar from beets and sorghum, on
the other hand, is susceptible of an increase
which can only be measured by the demand
for it. Experts in the business have esti-
mated that California could produce beets
enough to supply the whole United States
with sugar. But California has by no means
monopoly Of good beet-sugar land. The
new process said to have been discovered BY
Government chemists will. if it proves as
valuable as is reported, give a new impetus
to the business. 1t is only recently that ma
chinery has been 50 Iperfected that sugar
could be extracted from beets at cost
which enabled beet sugar to compete with
cane sugar on even terms. Every improve
ment in the process by which the saccharine
matter can be extracted from the pulp is a
matter of vast Importance to the country
Foreign sugar now costs nearly $4,000 900
year, and consumption per capita increases
every year.

H1GaHR RAILROAD FRE1GHrs.

The meeting of railroad Presidents, held
on Monday in New York, resulted in the
presentation OF scheme to advance freight
rates. Heretofore the lines west of Chicago
have been divided into two organization
the Iowa lines combination and the trans
continental organization. The former en-
braces lines running west of Chicago and
east of the Missouri River; the latter lines
west Of the river as far as the Pacific Coast.
Each of these organizations is independent
of the other, and both are disconnected with
the trunk lines running east of Chicago.
They were formed to prevent rate cutting,
and consequently to favor high freight
charges.
The resolutions adopted at the meeting on
Monday proposed to wipe out of existence
the two aforementioned organizations and
to substitute for them an association of
all roads doing business west of Chicago or
st. Louis. This association is to act through
an advisory bard, to consist of the Presi-
dent and one Director of each of the compa-
MES represented in the association, and the
function of the advisory board is to "estab-
fish and maintain uniform rates from COM
petitiye points and to decide all questions of
common interest"
The new agreement provides that the
companies shall not reduce rates. East of
Chicago the trunk-line pool has lasted for
several years, and it has been rigidly adhered
TO up to since 1873; but there are only four
partners in that pool, whereas the new asso-
citation will consist of fifteen members to
begin with.
Shippers believe that the new board will
raise rates, and that the public will have to
submit until such times as our laws will
regulate traffic upon railroads, as they must
eventually, ON an equitable basis.

INCOMING SUPERVISORS.

It is understood that the Supervisors-elect
will hold meeting this afternoon for the
purpose of becoming acquainted with each
others wishes in regard to the patronage
which it will devolve upon them to dis
tribute. 1t is generally difficult to arrange
such matters SO as to please every individual
of large party, but there are certain points
which should be considered. That is, the
offices within the gift OF the incoming Board
OF Supervisors should be distributed so as
to place persons of integrity in them, for
here is where the admins tration which is
about to retire has made one of its greatest
mistakes. 1t has employed some persons in
whom the public have had little or no con-
fidence. We presume the new board will
consider all applications which may come
before them in such a way as to give conf
dence to tho party, keeping in view integ-
rity of character, as we have suggested.

THE SILVER BILLS.

1t is difficult to predict what will come of
the various silver bills or plans now before
Congress. 1t is said that the President has
one plan, Mr.. Window another, the caucus
OF the administration party third and the
self-eleeted representatives of the silver in
tereSt a fourth. Which, if any, of these
will take the shape Of law, no one can FORE
see. The silver miners are not likely to
succeed in inducing Congress to donate to
them the difference between the value of the
bullion in standard dollar and that dollar
itself. but they are apparently resolved that
the future market for the whole product of
their mines shall be the Treasury Depart
ment. There is sim plicity in this arrange
ment which c0mmends itself to admiration.
The difficulty into which our laws regulat-
ing silver currency have got is largely due
to the false position in which the Mint is
placed by the depreciation of silver. The
general principle of coinage is clear. No
one but the Government should be allowed
to coin money. That is an essential attr-
butte of sovereignty. To reimburse the
Government for the expense of melting, cut
ting and stamping coins it should be
allowed a small seigniorage, so adjusted that
the Mint will neither make nor lose money
at the business. Those are the principles on
which Governments in civilized countries
supply their people with a metallic cur
rrncy.
But when the parity between silver and
gold disappeared in consequence of the in
creased product of the former and the re-
duced product of the latter, and notwith-
standing the fiuetuation. the United States
Miltcontinued to put out silver coins of 412b
grains standard weight, worth in the markets
Of The world anywhere from 70 to 90 cents,
and vet which were legal tender for a dol
lar. the seigniorage amounted to large sum.
In the fiscal year ending June 80, $780, it
amounted to s1O,2l7,24 1t appears in Mr..
WINDOWS report as part of the ordinary in
come of the Government.
1t is these ten millions which the silver
miners and the advocates Of free coinage are
alter. If they can take 80 or 90 cents
worth of silver to the Mint and get dollar
for it. they will make the ten millions which
the Government now appropriates.
Another school of financiers proposes that
new silver dollar shall be coined, contain
ing as many grains of silver as. on the day
of the coinage. it would have taken to buy a
gold dollar, The effect of this plan would
be to give the country dozen different
kinds of dollars, varying In value and pur-
chasing power.
The differences between these various sill
yer currency schemes are so wide that they
viii probably neutrallze each other. Still,
it Is possible that they may not and that
new legislation will be had. 1t is to be hoped
that 1t will not revive the silver specula-
ton in Wall street, with its dsgraceful
scandals, and that it will not have the effect
OF restricting from the grave the green
hacker party, toward whose delusions some
projects now on the carpet are squirting.

GIN DARKEST ENGLAND


According to General Booth there are
100000 people in Great Britain who are
in degree of restitution. OF these l, rs, 500
are so near starvation that their escape from
it depends upon the accidents of the day.
Once in while one will earn few pennies,
and their hands are constantly open for the
coveted pitrance. There are 10000 in the
almshouses and asylums, and $4,000 in re-
ceipt Of outdoor aid. There is another
million who would take care of themselves
II they could have steady work at current
rates OF wages. just above them there is
an uDnumbered population who keep them
selves above actual want. 1t is not surpris-
ing that with this large surplus of laborers
English statesmen should look with some
apprehension upon changes in the American
tariff which are likely to add to the number.
If the new American tariff performs its
mission it will keep work in this country that
in years past has been done in England.
Every English factory that shuts down in
cons equence of the increased duty on for
eign goods adds to the 100000 who cannot
earn living. Self-protection sometimes
borders on selishness, but the American
statesman has to consider what would be the
condition of our working people if their
work was brought into competition with that
Of the 100000 General Booth describes.

DEAR COAL.

To the ordinary comprehension coal is
dear in California, because coal of the best
grade has not yet been discovered within the
borders of the State. The cost of moving
coal constitutes a large part of its market
value. 1t is heavy and bulky merchandise.
1t can be mined and brought to the top of the
ground for 50, or even less, ton. But the
cost OF transporting coal across the CONT
nent is much greater than the first cost of
ceal. A contemporary has furnished some
amusement to its readers by the assumption
that the duty of 10 cents on bituminous coal
is the reason of its high price in this city.
1t is stated with the placidty of rare
; Ignorance that duty of 20 cents ton en-
ables dealers to obtain SIS for something
that cost about 81. 1t is said that this por-
ton of the Southern Pacific Railroad system
pays So, 100000 a year more than it would
have to pay if the Southern Pacific could get
coal at Eastern prices. There is good deal
of misinformation in this statement. The
Southern Pacific Railroad system does not
pay So, acc, goo more for the coal it uses than
it would have to pay at Eastern prices. The
Southern Pacific supplies itself largely with
coal from its own mines, at a cost much
below market rates. That company owns
coal mines in Washington and in Nevada.
Precisely what its coal costs is known only
to the company, but it is much less than
current coal rates.
The tariff cuts no more figure in the price
here than in New York or Chicago. The
remoteness of San Francisco from coal beds
OF adequate supply enables coal-dealers 10
corner the market. Ii there We're coal
beds in different localities the coal-producer
of one locality might compete with the coal
producer of another locality. But rs much
Of our coal is brought in ships that come to
this port for carg0eS of grain. the amount Of
coal arriving depends largely upon the con-
dltlon OF the wheat trade. The duty OF 10
cents ton cuts no considerable figure in the
cost of coal or in the amount that reaches
us. AS far as California is concerned we
could dispense with the duty on coal. So
could Pennsylvania dispense with the duty
on raisins. We produce no coal and Penn
sylvania produces no raisins. But the pro-
tectIye system requires one section TO agree
to duties which do not directly benefit that
section in order to obtain duties that do d.
rectly benefit them. Certain of the Eastern
States which produce btuminous coal claim
the same protection for labor engaged in
that industry that they concede to Industries
in other States How could California ask
for duties on raisins, wines, oranges and like
products, which the great Eastern States do
not produce. if We should object to a duty on
coal, which they do produce, on the ground
that this State has no interest in the coal in
duStry? We do not give the Examiner credit
for sincerity in its coal argument. We know,
or think we know, that il knows better. Its
lack Of comprehension of the subject it at
tempts to discuss has often raised the ques-
ton OF its sincerity, but in this case the tax
on credulitY is too great

FINANCIAL RELIEF,

The action of the Senatorial caucus in de-
Gliding against the issue of long-term ma
tional bonds at 2 per cent interest will meet
public favor. There is no present reason
why new bonds should be issued at any rate
Of interest. We are now paying exorbitant
prices for the privilege of paying bonds
already issued in advance of maturity.
Unless there is war, the public debt should
be paid when it falls due without the aid Of
refundinE process. We are aware that
paying national debts is not in accord with
ordinary national practice. But the United
States can afford to stand alone In this re-
spect Ten years hence, when the payment
oil interest on some of the European debts
will be problem of difficult solution, the
spectacle OF great nation without debt

relief must come in some other form. The
Senate seems inclined to answer the demand
for more currency by converting idle silver

NAMING NEW BATrLE-sHIps.

A contemporary thinks a wrong has been
done California in not naming the great
battle-ship about to be built at this port
after the State There would be some force
In the complaint If it were reasonably Ger
tain that no greater ship will within few
years be built at the same ship-yard. The
battie-ship for which the Union Iron Works
nave contract is not of the very first class.
Maine and Texas got their names on the
two first battle-shps of American build but
ships since planned far excel these in speed
and strength. The S100-ton vessel now build
ing by the Cramps. which is TO have speed
OF twenty knots and coaling capacity for
1900 miles. will, when finished. be at the
head Of the American Navy. But as we
have gone on improving our models, it is not
improbable that within five years we shall
have battle-ships as much superior to the
one now at the head as that is superior to
the battle-ship Texas. The sIOO-ton vessel
will properly be named after New York 1t
is the model ship OF the day. But better
ship will doubtless be designed and very
likely bnilr at the Union Iron Works. and

Ihe FINAL Payment to DepOsttOrs of tn @
California National Bank.
s. P. Young, Receiver of the Californ ia
National Bank, states that he has already
RENTED to the Comptroller of the Currency
sufficient funds to pay the balance due Is per
cent? on all claims against his trust. 1t is
just two years ago to-day since this bank
suspended, and at the time it was thought
very doubtful whether or not the deposltors
would be paid in full. and in consequence
MANY sold their claims at heavy discount
Mr.. Young. however. has always been SAN
guine that he would be able to pay 100 cents
on the dollar, and parties interested saw
much credit is due him for the able manner
in which he conducted the affairs of the
trust that has brought about such good re-
suits in SO short a time.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Young
became connected with the bank Just prior
to its suspension, and it was his eXami-
nation on taking charge that brought to
light the irregular transactions of the cashier
that caused its failure.
Mr.. Young two years ago was stranger
to this community, but to-day, however.
through his own efforts ana ability, he has
become favorably known in commercial cir
Giles. and has won for himself prominent
position as Treasurer and Manager of one
of the largest financial Institutions in the
city.
