ATTACKING THE "HERALD."

The Postmaster Generals Attention
Called to All Alleged Violation of
the Postal Laws.
We have been requested by promi-
nent citizen, who does not wish his
name published, to print the following
letter, copy of which was yesterday
sent to Postmaster-General Wanamaker:
"WATERBURy, Conn, May 20, 1890.
John Wanamaker, Postmaster-G General,
Washington, D. c.:
Dear sir You have been represented
as an exponent of religion and morality.
You have lately appointed a young man
postmaster of our beautiful city. l, in
common with many other cilizens, de-
sire to know If you would tolerate his
action in recent matter. A paper
called the Sunday Herald has been pub
llshed in Waterbury for short period,
that is an injury to any community.
Not only does John B. Doherty, our
postmaster, allow these moral lepers to
send their vile sheet broadcast through
the mails, but he has just allowed them
to fasten up a box in a conspicuous
ceive ballots for the most popular girl in
Waterbury,, to boom this sheet, for those
wishing to vote must cut coupons from
the Herald. We enclose couple of
clippings from last Sundays issue, that
you may judge of the disreputable
character of this publication"
Postmaster Doherty was seen in Meri
den last evening and Informed that a
complaint had been forwarded to Wash
ington. The colonel was not at all dis
turbed, but in fact was somewhat amused
He said that the lobby of the postoffice
was directly under his control and thai
he could allow any advertisement to bt
placed therein.
Editor Swift was seen by a DEMoCRA1
young man this morning and seemed t.
think that the affair would prove goot
advertisement for his paper. He hao
nothing to say for publication excep
that he was not in the habit Of taking
any notice whatever of anonymou
| communications.

HOW NOT TO DO II,

The Postoffice Site Commission has been
ostensibly looking for lot of suitable di-
mansions and in suitable locality for a
postofice nearly three years. 1t has not all
OF the time been composed of the same
members. During part of its existence
the amount appropriated was Insufficient
but there was general expectation that in
time the appropriation would be increased.
During all this time the commission has
been supposed to be on the lookout for
suitable lot. Precisely what point in the
proposed transaction Of conveying a suit
able lot to the Government It's eyes were
most intently fixed upon is known only to
the commission. The public were sur
prised at the lack of results. Real estate
experts could not understand what the
commission was doing. Suitable sites
were offered to everyone but the commits
sion which was supposed to be diligently in
search OF such sites. 1t appears now, after
all this delay, that the commission has ad-
vised the purchase of a 100000 site for
100000. The difference is to go to a syndi-
cate of spectators who have the property
recommended in bond. The commission
is not charged with being personally inter-
ested in the syndicate. The men composing
1t stand we'll in the community. The fact
remains, however, that the site they have
pitched upon after their long search is esti-
mated by experts to be worth $500, 900 less
than the commission proposes to give for it.

THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.

A Washington dispatch says that Repre-
sentative McKenna will propose an amend
ment to the sugar schedule in the Mckinley
bill fixing the rate of duty at 81 per cent of
present rates, with the present standard Of
No. 13 retained. 1t is said that beet-sugar
producers will accept this heavy reduction
rather than trust to a bounty which the
next Congress might withdraw. The West
ern Representatives, who are represented
as advocating free sugar, have apparently
not given much attention to two things.
First, that the addition of $4,000 900 to
the yearly pension account will not per-
nit the loss of the revenue derived
from sugar; and, second, that the cultiYa-
tion of the sugar beet is likely to become
more profitable than raising wheat. The
Ways and Means Committee will. under
any circumstances, hardly insist upon free
sugar in view Of the passage of the Service
-3'ee=Hiqp Act, which will probably take
S50,000,0J .iear from the Treasury. Ii,
through reduction in imports and a re-
mOval OF duties on articles from which
revenue has been derived there should be
deficiency in place of surplus in sight in
1892, the Republicans would have some
difficult questions to answer in the course
of the next Presidential campaign.

TWO GOOD REASONS.

The Fresno Budget concludes an article
comparing the Examiner of this city with
certain interior journals with the pathetic
inquiry, Why will not Mr.. Hearst retire
and put newspaper man in his place ?"
As some days have elapsed since the in
quiry was made, and as no reply has yet
appeared in the EI0miner, THE CALL
ventures couple Of reasons why MIR.
Hearst does not put newspaper man in
his place: First, a personal organ, of
which the Examiner is fair type, has no
occasion for the services of newspaper
man. a real live, bToad-minded journalist,
with true Journalists respect for his pro-
fession. would switch the Examiner off the
track it was destined to run on in very
short time. Either Mr.. Hearst or the news
paper man would have to 90. A second
reason is that. under its present manage
ment, the Examiner is performing the SER
vice its proprietor intended it to perform.
Senator Hearst is too shrewd a man not to
know that personal organ and a news
paper devoted to public interests are two
quite different things. He wanted an organ,
and was willing to pay for one. Being
quite rich man, it was matter of little
importance whether the Examiner made or
lost money. The interests of the public
Mr. Hearst considerably left to journals
which depend upon the public for their
support.

NOT A CLEAR CASE.

A number of Englishmen of distinction,
including Lords and commoners, have
signed petition asking the Government to
address the Gar Of Russia concerning the
treatment OF Siberian eXiles. The romance
Is knocked out of this petition by the cruel
reference of Mr.. Gladstone TO a little affair
which took place at Mitehellstown some
years ago which resulted in the sacrifice of
several Irish lives. Mr.. Gladstone thinks
The Gar may return the proposed address
with some remarks concerning that slaugh-
ter which the British Government would
find it difficult to answer Ii this Irish
slaughter is not sufficiently strong illus
tration of the disposition of all Govern
ments to employ whatever means may be
necessary to maintain order, certain prac-
tees resorted to by the British in India to
hold the native chiefs in subsection may be
incl uded in the remarks the Russian Em-
percr will offer in reply to the proposed adj
dress. Mir. Gladstone evidently believes in
the proverb that those who live in glass
houses should not throw stones.

A MODERN WITCH,
She Is Found Camping in Golden
Gate Park.

Susan Marshall, a woman tramp, old,
griZZled and gray with head of long white
hair which fell around her shoulders, was
taken to the City Prison yesterday by Park
Officer Thompson and detained Oh charge
of violating park ordinance.
The old woman, who is not a day less than
GO years Of age, appears to be slightly de-
mented. She told a queer story of her life
yesterday to the officers.
Her whole belongings consisted OF a big
AK, a knife and bundle of clothes wrapped
up in blanket. The officer found her
camping in most secluded corner of Golden
Gate Park, an uncanny picture, suggestive
of witchery, like discarded gypsy forlorn
in the woods and the sounds OF the pass
ing pagentry coming through the trees where
she sat by her campfire
came here few days back" she said,
ito look for work, but could not get any,
thing to do. My home is in Kansas, but |
went to the ella River with relatives, who
are dead, and then l came here partly by
rail and partly by boat. The Ajax was the
name of the steamer. Wouldn't live In
city, not L; so l found place to sleep out
and be free in the fresh air. You know |

life. 1 had enough money to buy bread and

That ak of mine has Travelled with me-
over the country. 1t helped me to make NV
fires and is my best friend. The policeman
was too smart, and that is all l have to say"

EDITORIAL NOTES.

1t is announced on pretty good authority
that Stanley, after his marriage to Miss
Tenant. will be appointed Governor-Gene-
raj of the Congo Free State by King Leo
pold. The state, which sprang ont of the
discoveries of Stanley, has an estimated
area of between 100000 and 1.o56.2o0 square
miles and population ranging between
100000 and 100000.
Italy, while her allies and France are in
ereasiDg their fighting strength, is said to
be bent on cutting down her military estab-
llshment. The condition Of the treasury,
the oppressive burdens of taxation and
CrispPs desire to placate the growing popu-
lar discomfort are assigned as the reasons
for this remarkable movement.
Gladstone, in commenting ON the remon-
STRANGE of Englishmen against the bar
barous treatment of Siberian exiles, took
advantage of an opportunity to give Sails
bury's administration sarcastic stab. The
ex-Premier declared he would be glad il the

THREsHING OLD STRAW.

The Portland OregOnid thus revives an
exploded theory:
SO long the American farmer produces ce-
reals and meals for export, The price OF his en-
tire product OF these articles Will be estaIish he'd
in London 1t is impossible TO escape the opera
ton OF this law Of prices. II The United States
were 10 export only 100000 bushels OF wheat
out OF 0,oO0 600 produced, the price of the en-
tire 100000 600 bushels would be- substantially,
the price Of wheat in London at the time OF sale,
less transportation charges.
So long as the American farmer pro-
duces cereals and meals for export the price
will be recorded in the chief importing
city, which at present is London. But
the price of these articles will be deter
mined by the amount the American and
other farmers send to London. If Ameri-
can farmers produce 30O.0O0,0O0 bushels and
send only 100000 bushels to London, the
price recorded in that city Will be greater
than if the American farmers sent to LON
don 100000 bushels out of the 800, 600, 900
produced. 1t is impossible to escape the
operations Of this law of supply and de-
nIand. When more wheat is sent to Lon
don than there is a demand for the price
goes down. If the United States supply
should be shut off entirely, and tine supply
from other sources remain substantially the
same, the price would go up. The Oreg0niaa
is not only free-trade paper upon oe-
casions, but its habit Of accepting free-trade
theories renders it a prolific source of COM
ment by out-and-out free-trade papers.
The Altd of this city quotes the above ex-
tract as coming from Journal which claims
to be in favor of protection. The alta
naturally reterates the statement and de-
-clares that American labor eats its bread
and meat at the prices which the labor of
England IS able TO pay" Admitting that
London quotations record prices which are
determined by the amount of wheat and
meal sent to the London market, the fact
Of uniform prices in the two countries has
no particular significance. The object of
all these free-trade arguments is to convince
the American farmer that he receives no
benefit from the protective policy, for the
reason that his surplus will not sell higher
IN foreign countries in consequence of the
tariff. But as the surplus the American
farmer exports determines the foreign price
it is for the interest of the American farmer
TO make that surplus as small as possible by
selling as much as possible at home. This
is the point at which the establishment of
manufactures in this country helps the
farmer. He now sells nine bushels at
home and exports one; under free trade the
home market would largely disappear, and
consequently the proportion of farmers
products for which markets must be found
abroad would be larger, and with larger
surplus for export foreign prices would
come down.

AMERICAN PRODUCTS IN EUROPE.

A London special to free-trade contern-
porary says there is strong sentiment in
france and England antagonistic to Ameri-
can food products. In England, the dis
patch says, this sentiment finds expression
In the oyer-rigorons inspection of American
meats. on the alleged ground of disease.
The effect OF this over-rigorous inspection
is degree of protection for British farmers
and cattle-raisers. Foreign countries have
right to choose their OWN methods of pro-
lection. England, according to this dis
patch, chooses the indirect method. The
United States prefers the direct method
The real question involved is whether it is
better for the United States to send its food
products abroad and to receive pay for

them in manufactured goods, or to consume
our food products at home and do our own
manufacturing. But the free-traders ex-
claim: "What is to become of our foreign
trade?' The answer is that, in country
with such varied resources as this, foreign
trade is a second consideration. 1t is not
worth while to exchange products at a loss
We will continue to import goods which we
cannot profitably produce at home, and ex-
port articles which we can produce in ex-
cess of our own wants and at less cost than
the nations to which we export them. The
forei en- trade which exchanges our raw ma
terial at cheap rates for high-priced finished
goods is only profitable to the few persons
engaged in it,
