THE FREE-TRADE VIEW.

Common ting upon a recent editorial in
THE CALL on the Home Market" the
alta says:
By the census of 1880 a total OF II, 1892 ,o99 of
our population was shown TO be engaged in the
industries OF the country. OF these 1857, 112
were elassed as engaged in manufacturing, less
than one-hith OF the whole. OF these only
1928, 1873 were occupied in the protected indus
tries.
The Alta concludes that eff the employ
ment of less than one-eighth Of the whole
furnish the market that is derived from
protection, it would be cheaper for the reo-
pie to board them at an Eastern watering
place in the summer and send them to
Southern California in the winter than to
stand the increase in taxation On the neces-
saries Of life provided in the Mckinley
bill" There are two fallacies in the Aha's
argument. First, the number of persons
employed in the so-called protected indus
tries does not include all whose occupation
depends upon the maintenance of our
manufactures. The value of the products
Of our manufactures for the year 1883 was
s., 1863 667, 706. The value of the so-called
raw material consumed in the manufac-
tories was 1884, 340,0 The value of this
raw material largely represents labor. The
amount Of wages paid in converting this
raw material into finished products is only
S947,919,674. The amount paid in wages
for the work of producing the raw material
is not given in the census, but any one who
knows the nature of the raw material can
form an idea of the amount. Cotton,
wool, fax, iron ore and the various kinds
of grain figure largely in the list of raw
material, and every one knows that the
chief cost of these products is labor.
Second. the increased cost of the neces-
sarieS of life consequent upon protection is
to great extent imaginary. The price of
the imported article is not increased by the
amount OF the duties, except in articles
that we do not produce in this country. All
such, 1t is admitted, should go upon the
free list unless the revenue derived from
them is needed. We doubt if our contem-
porary can name single article subject to
protection the cost Of which in this country
is increased by the amount Of the duty, ex-
cepting, Of course, articles not produced in
the country

GENIUS QUESTIONS.

The Superintendent of the Census has
prepared a list of twenty-six questions
which the census enumerators are in
strucIed to put to the people. Twenty of
these questions have passed the ordeal of
practical application and six are expert
ments. The latter six are as follows:
Whether suffering from acute or chronic dis
ease, with name of disease and length Of time
afflicted.
Whether defective in mind, sight. hearing or
speech, or whether crippled. manned or de-
formed with name OF defect.
Whether prisoner, convict, homeless child or
pauper.
Is the house you live in hired, or is it owned
by the head or 4 member OF the family?
If owned by the head or a member OF family, is
the house free from mortgage incumbrance?
II the house is owned by head or member of
family and mortgaged, what is postoiiice address
OF Owner2
Some of these questions are impossible
of direct and correct answers. Men die
every day in ignorance of the nature of the
disease which is sapping their strength.
They know they are not well, but do not
know what ails them. Physicians differ in
opinion as to the nature of the illness, and
not infrequently all fail to make correct
guess. 1t seems silly, therefore. for the
census men to ask questions which in many
cases cannot be lruthfully answered. The
question whether a person is defective in
mind, sight, hearing or speech is, to an eX-
tent, a matter of comparison. Most per-
sons at about 40 begin to use glasses. Are
they to be put down as defective in sight?
A little later in life the unpleasant dscov-
cry is often made that the ears are not so
acute as they once were. Are such defect
i've in hearing? Very few persons are will
Ing to admit that they are defective in mind.
1t sometimes takes commission composed
of learned men TO determine whether a per-
son is sound in mind or not. There are de-
greeS of unsOundness, and III the early
stages of mental decay the evidences are
not unmistakable. The idea of asking a
person to put himself on record as con-
Wet or pauper is a little absurd. To per
sons in a penitentiary or almshOuse the
question answers itself, and if asked of per
sons at liberty and at the time earning their
own living, it is an unnecessary provoca-
ton to untruth. Census questions should
be limited to such as men can answer and
also to such as they may answer truthfully
without mourning disgrace There is d
general law that a person should not be
compelled to criminate or disgrace himself.
A man may have been convicted of crime
and have lived the disgrace down. He may
have been convicted under circumstances
which extracted all disgrace from convic-
ton. The law often requires judges to pas
sentences for acts which they feel they
would commit themselves under like cir
cumstances. But as the penalty for refus-
ing to answer is 500 it will not be safe to
refuse

FIFTY PER CENT INCREASE.

The New York Commercial Advertiser is
a journal which aims to be reliable, and is
so when its hobby of free trade is not the
subject of discussion; yet the AduertiSer
says the Mckinley bill will increase the
natural price of nearly all the necessaries
of life by more than 30 per cent. We doubt
If the Advertiser can point to single arti-
Gle the cost of which in this country Will be
increased by so per cent. A great deal has
been said about the Increase in the duty on
tin plate; yet this increase of duty will
add very slightly to the cost of tinware in
this country. The cost of the plate will
perhaps be increased until such time as we
manufacture our own, but the cost of max
ing OF the plate into utensils is not in
creased. The Mckinley bill increases the
duty on high priced WOODEN cloth. Assum-
ing the increase of 80 per cent it does
not follow that suit of clothes manufac-
tured from these varieties of cloths will be
correspondingly increased. The cost of
the three yards and half of cloth required
for suit would vary according to quality
from Sl5 to SIS. Taking the medium as all
example, the duties on the cloth if invoiced
at its value in this country would be about
S13. But cloth which sells at So a yard in
our market is invoiced at the market price
Of the country from which it is imported.
Five dollar cloth would never be invoiced
at more than So. The importer would
therefore pay duties on SO 80, the foreign
market price of cloth, in suit of clothes that
would sell in this country at $50. or at 81 per
cent, the duties on suit of clothes would
amount to a little more than Sc; if the duty
should be raised to 100 per cent the amount
of duty would be raised to $40 so. and the
difference between Sc to be paid under our
present tariff and SO 80 under a 100 per
cent tariff would be little over 81. That
is all the cost the Mckinley tariff would
add to the cloth in $50 suit of clothes. In
stead OF getting his suit Of imported cloth
for $50 the purchaser would be charged
S54 or SIS, according to the conscience of
the tailor. The object OF putting this extra
duty on is to encourage the manufacture of
the same variety of cloth at home. 1t
should be borne in mind in estimating the
increased cost of cloth under the Mckinley
tariff bill that the cheaper varieties are
produced in this country at foreign prices,
and consequently will not be affected by
the Increase in the duties.

TIE CLOUD IN BEHRING SEA.

The dispatches from Washington and OF
tawa In reference TO Behring Sea are con-
fuslng. 1t may suffice to state that the new
company which succeeds to the right of the
Alaska Commercial has received assurances
from the Government that it will be pro-
tected by revenue cutters against poachers.
1t Is not quite clear that Mr.. Window has
promised to follow the example set by his
predecessors, Messrs. Fairchild, Manning
and Folger, and to rule that the high sea of
Behring is territorial water, and as such
under the control and jurisdiction of the
United States Government; but the new
lessees believe that he will take that view.
They feel confident that the Bear and the
Rush will make prize of any vessel found
sealing within that sea, whatever flag she
carries. They do not conceal their belief
that without such measure of protection
their lease would not be worth what they
have undertaken to give for it.
1t is matter Of regret that the abstract
question Of international law has not been
settled before the opening of the fishing
season. Sooner or later the two Powers
must arrive at a conclusion either that
Behring Sea is an open sea or that it is a
closed sea. They may reach that conclusion
by a comparison of the facts and the law
botWocu lhcuuStN6S1 vi Luey may ledV6
the controversy to an arbitrator. How
ever the problem is solved, solved it must
be. and without much delay; and, under the
circumstances, it is a pity that it has not
been solved before the naked question of
law is embarrassed by accidents which may
be irritating 1t may not be as easy to reach
the conclusion after British sealers have been
captured or after the United States flag has
been shot away by some reckless mariner
from Victoria.
The lessees are entitled to demand of the
Government that it shall protect them in
the occupation of the property leased, and
il they can show that, owing to the inefli-
cheney Of the revenue service, poaching
vent on TO their detriment, they VIII have a
prima-facie case for refusing to pay rent
The lease of the ISLANDS is in the nature of
warranty, not quit claim. If Behring
Sea is territorial water the United States
is bound to keep seaers out of it in order
to secure to the new company the monopoly
they have granted.
The matter would be of less consequence
if International relations were always under
the control of statesmen. But as General
Won Moltke wisely remarked the other day,
Governments are nowadays not always able
to control the questions of war and peace
Strained relations frequently grow out of
outbursts of popular passion.

SWORE BOTH WAYS.
A Witness Is Taken in Custody on
Charge of Perjury.

Charge of Perjury.
James Mcmahon, a young man living at
IS Allen street, was locked up in the City
Prison yesterday on a charge of perjury
He had been too reckless in his statements
before Police Judge Rjx.
On the morning of the I'd inst. Mcmahon
complained that he had been assaulted on
Brannan street. near Ninth, by two gar
rioters ana robbed of S12. About an hour
later lie and Officer Horrigan met John
Dougherty, wood-peddler, and Mcmahon
pointed him out as one of the robbers. Nc
Mahon was so positive in the Identification
that Horrigan took Dougherty into custody
and charged him with robbery.
Mcmahon did not appear when the case
was called in Police Court 3, and warrant
was issued for his arrest. After a long
chase he was found at Lake Merritt, at
work in the boat-house. When his case
was called yesterday he took the stand and
swOre that Dougherty had not robbed him,
although he had previously sworn to COM
plant charging him with the crime, He
also stated positively on oath that Dough-
erty was not the man whom he had pointed
out to the policeman. He was then ordered
into custody. 1t is believed the case was
fixed out of court.
Dougherty was discharged, there being
no evidence against him.

the owners of railroads would have the
carrying of all our raw material such as
grain, wool, mining products, fruit, etc., to
the seaboard, where ships would be in wait
ing to take them to foreign countries. Then
those ships would bring back to the United
States manufactured goods of every descrip-
ton, for, bear in mind, if railroad and other
magnates were to have their way, we should
have to purchase almost everything except
food products from other countries. These
foreign manufactures. or this merchandise,
would be landed at our seaports. and then
the railroads could charge about what they
pleased for taking them to the interior
towns throughout the Union. 1t is not

permitting the Buckley crowd to control the

ably fair appearing candidates for Office, so
that they may control both city and State
with their instruments. OF what use has
it been to San Francisco to vote into office
few men with tolerably fair regulations,
while they have actually placed in office
enough of Buckley's instruments to plumber
the people? This trick ought to be pretty
well understood by the people at large by

He Wants the Land Upon Which the Mar
ket-Street Hotel Is Erected.
The action brought by Elias J. Baldwin
against Hamilton NJ. Houston was on trial
yesterday before Judge Levy.
The controversy arises out of the fact as
claimed by Lucky" Baldwin that on May
%, 1889, written agreement was made for
the purchase for 100000 of the land on
which the Baldwin Hotel stands, $50 600 to
be paid down, S1S5.0Oo ninety days thereaf-
ter, and S465,0O0 within five years, with 4
per cent interest on deferred payments.
Baldwin charges that when lie offered to
pay the first installment and secure the bal
ance by promissoTy note and mortgage
Houston refused TO receive the money and
security, and therefore judgment is asked
that Houston be compelled to carry out the
agreement by accepting S1S5,0OO and said
ncte and mortgage, and to deed the prem
iSes, and that plaintiff be allowed to pay the
money into court Houston denies that he
ever made an agreement TO sell the property
for 800, coo or any other sum.

THE NEW YORK TEMBLoR.

1t was unkind in nature to give New
York shake-up so soon after George Al
fred Townsend had demonstrated that
mother earth east of the Allegbanies could
not shake. No great damage was done be-
yond giving people fright; but the ugly
feature about earthquakes is that no one
knows how severe the next one will be. No
considerable damage has been done to ma
terial property in this city, but for time
people thought an earthquake country an
unsafe place to live in. Most of the dis
turbanees of nature may be measured In
the light of experience, but no one could
be really certain that force that had
proved so destructive elsewhere might not
gather its full power for demonstration in
this part of the world. In this State we
have ceased to speculate as to possibilities
That destructive earthquake is possible
