AN OLD STORY.

Senator Blackburn is reported by a WASH
in gton correspondent us repeating the story
that filtered through a number of keyhOeS
last summer, representing Mr.. Blaine as in a
kind of Rage over the Mckinley bill The
story bears on its face evidences of its i'm
probability. Mr.. Bla ne is mu h too Iolitic
to express himself as represented concerning
party measure in the presence of political
opponents. He is not in the habit, either, of
swapping his fl gers in the faces of gentle
men of either Iarty. 1t is preposterous to
suppose that he gave way to anger to such
an extent as to smash new hat after the
fashion Of farce actors in tbird-class thea
tiers. Mr.. Blaine is reported as saying that
"the Mckinley blu is an inlamy and an
outrage" Is it probable that if he had used
such an expression in speaking of the bill he
would afterward have taken the stump in
defense of it? Does loyalty to a party re-
quire an official 10 advocate a measure which
in his private judgment is AN infamy and
an outrage? There was no occasion for
Mr.. Blaine to leave his post at Washington
and take the stump in support of measure
W hich be opposed Much less would a
man Of Mr.. Blaine's admitted shrewdness
have pat himself personally on The record in
support of measure which he foresaw
must be a failure. If Mr.. Blaine was really
opposed TO the Mckinley bill and anticipated
its rejection by the people he would have
held himself in 4 position to propose to his
party substitute. But his speeches have
made him as directly responsible for the
bill as if he had been in Congress and had
voted for it. In point of fact, the Mckinley
bill is in lire with Mr.. Blaine's own views
oA in IN Proc Mt
Cleveland's free-trade message. 1t releases
articles which we must import from duty
ana increases the duties on articles We pro-
duce in competition with other countries.
1t is, in fact, Blaine's theory reduced to

THE MCKINLEY TARIFF.

Further discussion on the tariff at the
present time will probably be conducted
with less heat and more candor The DEM
ocrats will interpret the popular verdict Of
last Tuesday On the other side of the mount
aims as against the Mckinley act, and when
the Fity-secOnd Congress assemblies the
dominant party in the House OF Repre-
seutatives will be expected 10 offer a sub
stitute for that measure. If it is intended
that the substitute shall become a law, it
will have TO be so framed that it can COM
mand the assent Of the Senate ard of the
President.
In the meantime, the people are going to
have full twelvemonth in which to OBJ
serve the operation of the new act. Tariff
tinkering is dangerous business it upsets
the calculations Of merchants and infiicts
injury on trade generally. 1t is better to
endure tariff which is not in all respects
judicious than to keep constantly changing
the rates of duty and unsettling prices.
The underlying fallacy of the Morrison
tariff, of the Mills tariff and of other tariffs
which have been proposed of late years is
that they assumed that q reduction of du-
ties implied a reduction of revenue. The
very contrary has often occurred. A redue-
ton of duties tends TO slim late impOTta-
lions, and hence the proceeds eff low duties
may be larger in the aggregate than the
proceeds of high duties Thai proved to be
the case under the tariff of 1916, which i'm
posed an average rate of duty of 122 per
cent; the customs revenue rose from S23,-
CCOC0O in 1917 10 S5S,O00Oo0 in 1868 and to
S64, COo0C0 in 1884. a similar result would
probably have follow ed the adoption of the
Morrison tariff. Instead of reducing the
revenue, as its author proposed. it would
probably have increased it. The tariff pol
icy of a country is matter of expert
ment. 1t is difficult TO calculate the precise
workings OF any tariff act that may lie
adopted. There are prof oSitions, however
on which most intelligent men are agreed
a large PROPORTION of the public revenue
must be raised by customs duties; our peo-
pie would nol BE- satisfied with the systems
of excise which prevail in EuIope. Where
Amt rican industry has to compete with
foreign industry employing heal er labor
than ours, it is legitimate to endeavOr to
equalize the competition by import duties.

UPHILL WORK.

The Alta California, as the public gener-
ally knows, is one OF the Democratic news
papers which favors free trade, and it chal-
lenges THE CALL 'to show single fruit in
this State that is not produced cheaper than
its like in any other part of the world"
Nearly all of our fruits are produced with
dear labor, unless the Chinese be employed
at the business, and even then it is doubtful
II this State can contend successfully with
various kinds Of fruits in the Eastern and
Middle States, where we must find mar
ket- We could do something if railroad
freights were not excessive in taking our
fruits from 1000 to 5000 miles to n market.
Our orange business would eventually be
run down by competition with the Medter-
ranean, Mexico and the Society Islands.
Our wine business has been injured by COM
petition with France. and with freq market
European wine would drive California wine
out of the Eastern States. This is So well I'M
derstood that selfish newspapers, run in the
interest of corporations, cannot misead any
considerable number of persons. THE CALL
is pleased to see that the vineyardists, Or
ehardsts, etc., in California understand
what is for their interests and that they do
not depend upon newspapers run in the in
terest of corporations to direct them what
TO vote for.

THE POLICE CENSUS.

New York is somewhat excited over the
refusal of Secretary Noble to make an ex-
ception in favor of New York by ordering =
recount of its inhabitants iu December,
while other cities have to put up with
June census. 1t is quite in line with New
YOrk's general attitude toward the rest of the
States 10 make this demand and quite in line
with Secretary Mobiles duty to the rest of
the Union to refuse to accede TO it. A re-
count taken by the police of New York, who
act in general way under the direction of
Tammany, showed 10000 more people than
the June census reported. The police re-
count may be correct and it may not.
1t has not been verified in way to command
public Confidence. Admitting it to be cor
rect it does not show that New York lost
more by the June census in proportion to
population than other cites have good rea-
son to assume that they lost According to
all the tests by which the population of a
city may be estimated San Francisco had
10000 residents in the country when the
census was taken. Why should New York
have December census while the rest of
us put uD with June census?

THINGS TO RE CoNsIpEHEp.

at the first glance all election which
changes the political complexion of fourth
OF the States in the Union has the appear
ancr of a revolution from which speedy re-
covery is improbable. The announcement
that the Democrats have majority of AS
in the next Congress carries an impression
of popular majerities which cannot be
readily overcome. But the percentage OF
chlnge in the popular vote does not CORE
spund with the number of Representatives
glined. For example, New York has in the
present Congress 20 Republicans and Il
Democrats; in the next il will have II Re
pubicans and % Democrats. This change
has been effected by a change of perhaps
l or per cent Of the total vote In
Massachusetts the Republican candidate had
a narrow escape last year, and this year he
was defeated. TIE Congressional delega-
ton was changed from 10 Republicans to
Democrats to Republicans to Democrats.
But Eot much more than 10000 Republican
voters in the State went over to the Demo-
Gratis In Pennsylvania the revolt was against
Senator Quay rather than against the party
with which he is allied. Quay made thea
nomination Of Delamater personal matter,
and declared that the election Of his candi-
date would De vlndicatiOn of himself Self
respecting Republicans would not stand that
kind of politics ana so declared at the polls.
In Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska
and other States that have taken themselves
into the Democratic column no very large
change in the popular vote is apparent A
good many States were held in their party
relation by small majorities. New York,
Ohio and Indiana have been for a quarter OF
century debatable States. This year all
A 6
two votes in a hundred from the Democratic
TO the Republican side Will take them back
into the Republican ranks. In California,
where the Republicans have won decisive
victory, the percentage of gam is small In
total vote of 250,C00. the Republican
majority will be increased by less than
10000. The changes in this State will be
hardly more than per cent of the total
vote
When the Democrats assemble in the Fifty
second Congress their yast majority will
give them an idea that they nave come into
power this time to stay. But Change of
per cent against them in the popular vote
will place them about where they stand in
the present Congress. The solid South
stands between the Democrats and such
thinning of ranks in the House as the Re-
publicans have experienced. The South
will send nearly solid Democratic repre-
sem alton to Congress until there is a division
of parties on other than the color ana race
lines. In the Northern States much more
than one-half of the Representatives are
elected by comparatively small majorities.
In other words, the voters elect in the North,
while in the South the result OF an election
is only recorded. In good many Southern
districts no real election ever takes place.

cRowD1NG THE CONTRACTORS.

Since the election Mayor Pond has discov-
cred the Importance of holding contractors
to their agreement Before the election con-
tractors found it to their interest to get ex-
tensions Of time. They found no difficulty in
convincing the commission that such extern
sions would also he FOR the public good. But
Mr.. Pond has now notified the contractors
that their work must be done within the
time agreed upon, and there isno Boss Buck
ley to appeal to. He proposes to have the
City Hail proper finished during his official
term. The tall to- ers will be subject to
contract under the new commission. Thanks
to the spur of defeat there is at last some
hope that the new City Ball will be COM
pleted during the lives of some of the men
who planned if.

AS a steel producer this county has out.
stripped all competitors, tho yield during the
census year ending June 80, 1890, having been
4,466, 926 tons. In 1880 there were seventy
three steel WORKS located in fourteen different
States; in ten years the steel industry has
spread to nineteen States and the number of
plants has increased to 15S. In 1880 the yield
Of Penns ylvania was $685. 61 tons, and In 1880
1t was :, 76S 253, while Illinois occupied second
place with record OF SOS, $50 tons. which was
larger than that OF the Keystone STATE ten years
ago.
In some sections OF the wheat belt the crop has
been such bountiful one that the transporta-
lion facilities of the railroads are taxed to the

made for ears that cannot be supplied, and IL Is
