Americas Triumph.

We lead all nations in agriculture, we
lead, all nations in mining. and we lead
all nations in manufacturing. These
are the trophies which we bring after
twenty-nine years Of protective tariff.
There is no country in the world where
individual enterprise has such wide and
varied range, and where the inventive
genius of man has such encouragement.
There is no nation in the world, under
any system, where the same reward is
given to the labor of mems hands and
the work of their brains as in the United
States. We have widened the sphere Of
human endeavor and given TO every man
o fair chance in the race of life and in
the attainment of the highest possibili-
ties of human destiny.--Hon. William
Mckinley.

what Protection 'Has Done FOR Pottery.

What Protection Has Done FOR Pottery.
Mr.. President, there is no industry in
this country that shows more clearly
and with more emphatic defniteness the
advantage of the protective principle
than that of the manufacture Of crock
cry, the making of china ware in al its
grades. 1t was but few years ago
when, as has been repeatedly suggested
in debate, this industry did not have an
existence in this country. The potters
made n cheap sort Of earthen ware, with
out beauty in either form or finish, and
it was not until protective rates were es-
tablished that this great industry, of ad-
vantage not only to those who manufac-
ture that kind of ware, but of advantage
to the owners of land and to those who
are interested in clay and kaolin beds
throughout the country, obtained stand
ing and permanent foothold.
1t is true, when you get into the highly
decorated and expensive ware used in
the houses of the wealthy, that the china
and crockery ware of the old country is
purchased by those who can afford to
pay the price, but any man who goes
into an establishment dealing in these
articles today is struck forcibly with two
facts: First, the superiority of the goods,
their delicacy of texture, their beauty of
form, their fineness Of finish aMl their
excellence of decoration, comparing
most favorably with those produced
abroad; and second, he is surprised at
the very low price that is asked for these

WHY WE HAVE NO SHIPS.
The Whole Question Clearly Explained
in II Nutshell.

Tho Whole Question Clearly Explained
in n Nutshell.
The disadvantages against which
American vessels in the foreign trade
have TO contend are fourfold.
First-Liberal postal and naval sub
sides and building and sailing bounties
paid by the chief shipping nations.
Second--Lower wages to mechanics
in foreign shipyards, machine shops and
dry docks, and lower wages to officers
and seamen, and lower cost of mainte-
nance on shipboard.
Third-Hostile discrimination Of Brit
ish Lloyds in respect to inspection and
classification, and Of English under
writers in regard TO the insurance of
cargoes in American built ships, COM
pelling vessels under our flag to wait
longest for charters and to receive al
ways the lowest rates of freight.
Fourth-Competition of the severest
kind with all the shipping of the world,
in consequence Of the free shipping policy
of our own government since 1928 though
this policy was adopted in 1923 its opera
tion was confined to the smaller mari
time powers until 1850. The extension
Of the provision of this act to Great Brit
ain at the commencement of that year
is the cause of our loss of maritime posi-
tionl, and no attention given by con-
gress nor any action taken to secure
equal footing and fair play to our ship
ping under the unequal and destructive
competition which it has invited, and
which has subordinated our shipping
service to the will and caprice of our
rivals and enemies, driven our people
and our flag from the high seas and
crippled our right arm Of national de-
Tense.

If our American citizens have to pay
the full amount of all duties levied upon
imports, as some Free-traders insist, why
is it that the foreign manufacturers of
Sheffield and other places abroad loudly
protest against the Mckinley bill? If we
have to foot the cost what difference can
1t make to them? The mayor of Sheffield
said he could remember when the
American market found trade for one
half of the population of the town. "-Ex-

TO BETRAY AMERICAN INDUSTRY.
Cheap Frec-trado Papers to BE Estab-
Hshed with Foreign Money.

Cheap Frec-trado Papers to BE Estab-
lished with Foreign Money.
A scheme to boom Free-trade, ruin
American industries and protect foreign
manufacturers has Just been discovered
by The New York Sun. 1t announces
in its issue Of the 18th that the we'll
known E'ree-trade editor, Melville f..
Stone, late of The Chicago News, has
returned unexpectedly from Europe,
with plans and funds for the publication
OF seven penny morning newspapers in
the seven largest cities of the United
States. 1t is said that he has secured
So 900 to be devoted to this object,
enrich himself and force open the mar
kets of the United States to the products
of cheap labor.
This scheme is not new. 1t has been
known that Mr.. Stone was at work at it,
and counted upon the liberal support of
foreign merchants, bankers and manu-
facturers to make it success. The i'm
portance of this country as market for
European products has been strongly
manifested of late in meetings of the
business men in various commercial and
manufacturing centers of Europe, and
in the acts of these governments, pro-
testing against our recent tariff legisla-
ton. This sentiment and the determin-
alton to hold the markets of the United
States, in spite of the will of our people
and the laws which are enacted to ex-
press it, has now found utterance in the
attempt to secure by money the ends
which they have failed to secure by ar
guments and protests.
The use of money by foreigners to
control legislation and public opinion is
not unknown in this country. But
never, we believe, until now has an
American citizen of high standing and
acknowledged ability deliberately con-
spired with the industrial and CONNER
cial representatives of foreign nations to
overthrow the settled economic policy of
the United States by the use of foreign
money, in order to promote the prosper
ity of foreign industries and labor at the
expense of those of his own countrymen.
Attention is called to the facts here
stated with the conviction that when
they are known the indignation of the
American people will battle and put to
naught the unnatural scheme. The in
fanny Of Arnold was fruitless, but it will
be eternal

ENGLISH MILL OWNERS, PROFITS.

Our "Robber Barons" Rarely IL Ever
Know of Such Profits and Dividends.
The following items are taken from
The American Manufacturers English
Letters:
"The report Of the directors of Henry
Bessemer e. Co., Sheffield, shows net
profit for the year of Gibbs The di-
rectors recommend the payment of divi-
dend of eos. per share, which, with the
20s. per share paid in July last, makes
dividend of 20 per cent for the year.
They also recommend writing off $4,000
from the improvements and additions
account. This will leave a balance of
e23,216 to be carried forward to next
year. This report is considered very
satisfactory.
Brown & Bayley's steel works have
just declared q dividend at the rate of
III per cent, making, with the interim
amount of y per cent. already paid, q
splendid total dividend of 25 per cent.
for the year"
The Iron and Steel Trades Journal
Nondon) gives the following:
"Bells Asbestos company, limited,
have declared an interim dividend of los.
per share (free of income taxi for the half
year ended June so last, being at the
rate of copper cent. per annun. N
''The annual report of Sandwell Park
Colliery company, West Bromwich,
shows that during the past year profit
of nearly e31 eco has been earned, max
ing, with the balance brought forward,
about e34 900 available for dividend.
The directors recommend the payment
of 10 per cent. per annum dividend,
with bonus of los. per share, equal to
total dividend of 90 per cent, besides
carrying $4,000 forward. During the
past two years the company's e10 shares
have advanced from SO to SO, or 10
per cent"
And yet when in a prosperous year
some Of our manufacturers declare a
dividend of 10 or 12 per cent. they are
called ''robber barons," protected mill
owners" etc., etc. The fact remains
that, while these, English mill owners
are declaring dividends of 90 and 25 per
cent, they are paying their employees
only living or starvation wages, while
the American manufacturer or protect
ed mill owner is paying his men wages
that enable them to live comfortably,
with plenty to eat and wear and sur
plus for the savings bank. For example,
the English puddler is paid $l.70 per
ton, while the Pennsylvania puddler gets
$3.50

WHAT DEMOCRATS HAVE
DONE.
HAVE

The Appeal would like to know
what the Democrats have ever done
for silver. Well, to begin at the be-
ginning, tho Republican party struck
tho first blow at silver by dropping
from coinage and practically demone
thing the silver dollar in 1873. This
wrong was partially righted by the
Democratic party in the passage of
the Bland bill which provided for tho
coinage of full legal tender silver dol
lars; and, rs the Appeal we'll Knows,
this bill was vetoed by Republican
President, one r. b Hayes. The
Democratic Congress pissed the bill
over the Presidential veto, and thus
silver was partially restored to its
original position as precious metal.
In short, the Republicans demone-
tized silver, Republican Pre-, j.
dent vetoed the bill for it's remoneti.
cation, and the Democratic party
made it full leget tender and pro
gided for the coinage OF as least S.,
100000 a month in spite Of the Re-
publicans. This is one thing the
Democrats hsve done for silver.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURES.

The Silver State has an article in
reference to tho election OF members
Of the next Nevada Legislature, in
which the situation as to the election
OF United States Senator is discussed
and the conclusion is reached that
the election of John p. Jones is
assured; hence there is no use Of put
ting men up for the Legislature
whose principal qualification is fealty
to the Hon. John p. Jones as candi-
date for the United States Senate
The Silver State closes its comments
on the situation as follows:
"Such being the Senatorial situa-
ton beyond reasonable doubt, the
election OF Senator should not be a
factor in choosing Representatives at
the ensuing County Conventions, but
the ability of the candidates to de-
wise and advocate legislation that will
reduce State and county expenses, is
III the, greatest Importance to the
people. It will make very little diff
ference what the politics of members
may be, but the men should be the
ablest whose services can be secured.
Let us for once In Senatorial cleo
ton year, choose q Legislature that
will feel that the principal business
for which it is elected is not accom-
plished when the election of United
States Senator is announced in joint
convention Of the two Houses. Re-
form is absolutely necessary, and the
expenses of State and county govern
ments must be reduced to prevent
both from becoming hopelessly bank
rupt."

HELPING TOIOsti.

The moral censor of the Post
office, who was selected for his
sharp nose for bad literary odors,
has decided that Count Tolosti's
last book is highly salacious and
smacks Of immortality in every
page.
He has forbidden the book to
be sent through the mails and the
natural result is a tremendous
boom for the work. 1t is seldom
that a publisher is fortunate
enough to have his work thus
condemned and if Tolosti is any
thing like square man, he will
allow the U. s. Mail censor a
reasonable percentage OF the pro-
fits.

like this instead Of boosting a

| RARE OPPORTUNITY.
Good Agricultural Land for SO to
500 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company
has recently purchased twelve thousand
acres OF land in the heart OF Tehama
County, for the purpose of promoting
subdivision and settlement. This land
EN- braces lands from first class Sacra-
mento Valley agricultural land, to land
of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions
OF 40, so, 100, 100 and 800 acres.
The tie ms upon which these lands
are offered are Especially attractive.
They will be sold in Subo visions, as
above indicated. b the Payment of
interest onIy for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the pay
ment of pTin ciple by paying the hrst OF
five equal annual installmeDtS. Thus
no part of the principle is to be paid for
three years. and then the purchaser is to
have five years in which to pay five
equal annual instailm ents, with inter
est at the rate ofseven per cent per an

a period of eight years. Intending Pur-
chaserS are assured that TINS Is an OPP
DOrtunity to purchase land OF fair aver
AGE quality at SO per acre. and good ag-
rfcultural lard at $40 per acre. with
other grades of land at prices to CORES

The assertion is frequently m ade that
coed lands suitable Tor general farming
and especially adapted for fTult growing
cannot be had in California for less
than from $50 to 500 per acre. An e9
animation of the land subject of this
