Next to them were California's boys in

FEATURES OF THE PARADE.
A striking contrast was the picturesque
cowboys, who followed on horseback and
formed one Of the features of the process
sion. The beautiful floats, bands Of Cali
fornian Indians, prairie schooners drawn by
oxen and mules, some bearing the words
"0ld Missoury," Bound to California or
Bust" and similar characteristic inscrp-
uOns OF old-tlme scenes, were the most
essentially Western features presented.
Yet the bears must have felt very proud
as they viewed the hosts worshping their
emblem wherever they turned. Then the
Pioneers were present in numbers which

suggested n connection between the days of
F0rty-nine and the present. which was full
well represented by the manly Native Sons.
Carriages were driven in double rows thus
saving time, as the number of vehicles in
line was very great. Wagonettes and con-
yeyances OF all kinds from Sacramento,
Stockton. Oakland. San Jose and neighbor-
ing towns carried the Pioneers.
Without the Veteran Firemen and the
Exempts, with their baby one" and their
old ''masheen," the parade could not have
been held-that is, in the opinion of many
San Franciscans; and they were out with as
much display as ever.
NATIVE SONS.
Two platoons of police, all big, stalwart
Native Sons, marched under command OF
Captain Douglass. They wore the badges of
their parlors and received repeated applause.
Then followed the Native Sons themselves,
their exquisite banners glittering in thu
bright sunlight, and their novel and pictur-

The humorous side of things was not neg

a donkey, which he carefully announced by
means of placards was mot a bear" The
Napa boys had the goat they rode at initia-

There were many novelties. too, among
the parlors. One parlor had oranges on
the canes Of its members, another tiny
pick and shovel, and Oakland had the
earth-in flowers upon big globe.

almost wholly of mechanics. 1t members

MUSIC AND ENTHUSIASM.
Early in the morning the streets began to
assume their busy appearance of the pre-
yious evening. and music was heard every
where, giving notice of preparation for the
grand parade. Every point OF vantage was
eagerly seized; store windows were cleared
of their customary dressing, and instead
were occupied by little family groups. Ex-
pressmen lined the route taken by the pro-
cession with their wagons. which had been
transformed into temporary stands with
seats, selling at high prices
So eager were people to be certain of IA

As the appointed time for starting
approached, the different societies marching
with bands to the rendezvous near the water
front intensified the expectancy and enthus-
iasm of the throngs which by that time were
upon the streets.
WITHOUT HITCH.

into line in their own Places and when Grand
Marshal Tiden gave the order to move at

Mr.. Oleyeiand's Triumph.

The man above all others who has
reason to feel proud and grati6ed at
the result Of the November elections is
that brave and modest American who
formulated for the popular oomprehen-
sion the doctrine of tariff ref run, which
the country has at last 80 enthusiastio-
ally 40 -epted. The verdict of Tuesday
week Is the triumph of President Cleve
land experimenting message.
He knew we'll what he was doing
when that message was delivered. He
knew how it would startle not only the
timorous and time-serving politicians,
even of his own party, but the great
mass Of the people, whom these same
politicians had so long misled, so kept
in ignorance Of the very rudiments of
political economy, hat they could not
at once receive the truth But he knew
also that the time had come when the
truth must be told and the education
of the people begun, and at whatever
cost to himself he would not shrink
from his duty.
His party hesi,ating for a time came
up manfully to Lie stsndard, and a
majority of the whole people voted on
his side. But the power of entrenched
monopoly was still too strong and
ignorance ard prejudice could not be
overcome IN single campaign. The
election was lost by fraud and bribery
and then the monopolists felt assured
that they lad new lease of power and
that the day of reckoning would never
come. They did not understand that the
people had been awakened and had
learned TO think for themselves.
The education begun in the Presi-
dental campaign was continued by the
debates in Congress. Every news
paper in the country took up the dis
cussion. 1t was carried on in the
homes, in the shops, wherever two or
three met together. For the first time
the true relations of tariff to taxation
and the cost of living, as well as to
commerce and industry, we're preceived
and critically examined. And when
the dominant party persisted in it's des-
potic course and went further than ever
had been proposed before In the impos-
ition of taxes on the masses for the
aggrandizement of the favored classes,
the people arose and struck it to the
earth.
In less than three years the seed
planted in that famous message has
grown up into hardy tree thai has
spread over the whole land. Mr.
Cleveland was as truly the leader in
this stupendous revolution as though
he had been himself the candidate.
He did not need to take part in the
campaign. He had already framed the
issue and the people followed him.

That Tin Plate Tax.

Taking advantage of the benefits oI
''protection," the Chicago packers OF
canned meat have decided to give an
other lesson tn the poor man that he
has to pay the tariff duties.
BY deciding to advance canned
meats one-fourth of cent pound the
packers will add an additional profit
not only to themselves, but to every
one handling their goods. The whole
sale grocer, who has to pay the packer
his advance, will add another one
fourth per cent, and thus the advance
will bring him clear profit. The re-
taller will of course have to Join in the
upward movement, and he will recoup
himself for the haif-oent advance by
charging an extra cent per pound. OF
course the full increase comes out Of
the pocket of the consumer.
This is practical illustration of
how the tariff works. Everybody
is protected except the poor man.
He pays all the taxes and the other
fellows get all the benefits.
