Cost of Killing n Nun.

1t doesn't cost 50 very much to kill men
in the west. OF course you cannot cut OF
shoot man down with impunity, and
murder is sometimes as severely punished
there as it is anywhere else; but what /
mean to say is that it doesn't cost much
to kill man 10y accident You frequently
hear of cave ms in mines or fractured
skulls by falling down wines or shafts,
and the thought that comes TO you natur
ally is that the mine owners have to pay
$1,000 or &10O00 damages. That isn't so
81 81 while ago four men were killed in
mino near Lcadville. They were Ital
ians, and the widows or families of the
men were more than delighted to receive
$1,000 and the funeral expenses. In the
same mine more than ten men have been
killed, and never more than $1,000 has
been paid. The plan in the west, when q
man is killed in mine and the company
Is somewhat to blame, is to go right To
the heirs and make q settlement. Most
of the laborers arc Italians, and their
people take 81 COO as quickly as it is of
fered.-A. }. Gray in Globe Democrat

THE San Francisco Democratic organ
asserts that the defeat of the Democratic
ticket and the success of the Republicans
in November would be at once calamity
and shame to California. Now, such
an assertion opens the broadcast of fields
for parading the reasons for so bold a
judgment. 1t suggests the best of oppor-
tunities for advancing reasons prompting
such forecast, and hence for an open and
manly discussion of the claims of the two
tickets upon the confidence of the people.
Is the Democratic exponent, having
assumed the affirmative, prepared to main
tain its proposition and point out wherein
it would be calamitous and shameful to
California to defeat the San Jose ticket ?

THE Democratic press charges that I'M
der the new tariff boots and shoes will cost
the wearers more. Let US see. Under the
old tariff the clause was; "All manufact-
ures of leather 80 per cent. ad valorem."
Under the new tariff the schedule reads;
Leather cut into shoe uppers or vamps
shall be classified as manufactured leather.
Manufactures of leather % per cent. ad
valorem." Again compare these rates to
ascertain how much truth there is in the
Democratic charge:
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-10-16

So the truth is that there is no increase
on any article of leather used in the manu-
facture of shoes or boots, but there is a re-
duction of S33 per cent. on sole leather
and of one-sixth on boots and shoes made
of leather.
