OPPONENTS.

We occasionally copy extracts from the
editorial columns of cur contemporaries in
order 10 show the public the arguments
which are put forth which THE CALL be-
lieveS TO be misleading. OF such a character
is the following paragraph, taken from the
Alta California:
THE CALL asserts that The bare possibility of
the Democrats getting into power has compelled
business men TO Put their houses i'll ORDERLY
going into bankruptcy we suppose. The bust
ness OF lie county must be rather rotten If it
cannot stand government IN republic by the
majority. The CALL seems to think that mi
nority rule Is The thing TO make trade lively.
OF course THE CALL asserts nothing of
the kind. The CALL does, however, think
that under tile rule of the Democratic
party prior to the Rebellion, when the South
virtually had free trade, the price of labor
was not more tjlan from one-half to two
thirds what it is at present. The trouble
with the public generally at the present
time in the United States is that few men
have controlled legislative bodies by the use
OF money. In other words, they have cor
ruptly Influenced members of the Legisla-
ture and Supervisors in our cities to pass
laws and ordinances by bribery. Instead Of
legislative business being managed in the
interests of the people, they have been con-
trolled. to certain extent, in the interests
of men who have their millions. Money
nsed in dominating conventions has influ-
enced such men as Buckley, and candi-
dates have been elected to office who were
totally unfit. We have seen large fortunes
suddenly accumulated by few men
through trusts and other combinations.
Here is where the difficulty originates
These men obtain advantages, hence they
accumulate great wealth. The inhabitants
of the United States as a whole are very
rich. but few men after all have a large
roi ton Of the money of the country. When
oyertradiDg has been carried on for a few
years and slight stringency occurs then
nearly all of the money is locked up. Bust
ness men cannot obtain it, hence failures
take place. Ii there were no such extraor-
binary fortunes, which have been accumu-
lated by fraudulent syndicates, etc., there
would be less failures. Fifty or one hun
dred persons in New York, who have en-
ncbed themselves by means of various
frauds, can make money scarce at any
time; but if the coinage of silver could have
been stopped we may imagine how much
worse the finances OF the country would

TARIFFS AND TREATIES.

Senator Sherman has introduced bill
providing that all existing treaties at the
date of the passage Of the Mckinley Tariff
Act shall not be interfered with. The bill'
or amendment 10 the act is supposed to have
especial reference to the reciprocity treaty
with the Hawaiian Islands. Under the old
tariff sugar of low grade was admitted free
from the islands. The same grade of sugar
from other foreign localities was taxed at
the rate of about two cents pound. Under
the new tariff the tax on all foreign sugar
of the same grade is removed. Hawaiian
planters are therefore laced by the new
tariff on the same footing as other foreign
planters. The bounty which is paid to
Amer lean producers of sugar will not of
course be paid to the producers Of Hawaiian
sugar. The precise object of Senator Sher-
mans amendment does not appear in the
brief mention Of it made in Washington dis
patches. The stipulation that existing
treaties at the date of the passage of the
Mckinley act should not be interfered with
would, in the Hawaiian Island case, be in
operative. The existing treaty provided that
Hawaiian Island sugar should be admitted
free. The Mckinley tariff puts all foreign
sugar on the free list. The reciprocity treaty
with the Islands will still exist. but its con-
ditions are rendered valuelesS by the fact
that all other sugar is admitted on the same
footing. 1t is not probable that Senator
Sherman will propose TO indemnify the Ha-
waIian planters for the especial advantage
the treaty given them under the old tariff by
including them among the sugar-producers
to whom bounty shall be paid. If the dis
tinguished Ohio Senator has any such pur
pose in view he should submit it in the form
OF a bill and take note of what becomes of it.

A BAD BANK FAILURE.

The clearinghouse of S. A. Kean & Co.,
Chicago, has closed its doors. Within ten
days the bank had paid out about $780, 600,
and the managers thought the time had come
to quit paying deposits. The bank had
plenty of securities, it was said. but just at
the present time they are net mar ketable
1t appears, however, that liabilities amount
to s., ,oCO. while assets only approximate
81 ,353, COO. Liabilities never shrink, but as
sets sometimes do. In the present case as
sets are largely in the form of land scrip,
the market value of which is variable. 1t
appears also that the banking firm had de-
posted sS00,0G0 of their best securities with
other banks for leans. The deposits.
amounting to 100000 or thereabouts, are
thus left unprotected, or protected only by
the land scrip. Admitting this statement
to be correct, the Kean bankers would seem
to have been doing large business on little
or no capital. Their available funds were
The deposits. They would have gone along
nicely for some time longer il tue depositors
had not shown a disposition to take charge
Of their own money. This is what is called
lack of confidence. We are constantly
assured that there would be no financial
trouble II the public would only let their
money lie in the vaults of the banks The
puDic Will not De greatly surprised to
learn that the proprietor Of the bank and
his cashier have been arrested for receiving
deposits while the bank was known to be
insolvent. The bank managers must have
known that their sole capital was their
credit. With a deficiency OF $4,000, to say
nothing of the depreciation Of securities,
they might rease nably have anticipated that
time would come wher the depositors
would be inspired with lack of confidence.
OF course. people will be expected to sympa-
thize with Mr.. Kean. He appears to have
been cruelty interrupted in very profitable
business. 1t is intimated that he has private
property which is not liable for the debts of
the bank. Men who do large banking
business en- credit are generally gifted with
sufficient foresight to suggest the policy of
putting some of their profits where creditors
cannot get them when the period of lack of
confidence sets in. In view of such failures
as this the utility of financial panics becomes
apparent. There needs to be an occasional
settling day when financial frauds are called
to account. An insolyent bank might go on
for years making money out of the deposits
and putting the profits where depostors
could not reach them if it were not for these
periodical anies. When business is good
the banker argue, that the profits are law
fully his, but when losses occur, if he has
taken good care of the priests, the creditors
have to suffer.

STREET COMMISSION

There is combination of men in this city
without distinction to party to secure the
opening of streets through private property
in advance of a public demand for such en-
terprises. That San Francisco will at some
future day cover ten miles of the north end
of the peninsula from ocean to bay is among
the things We consider certanties. But
there is no hurry about pushing streets
through this at present unoccupied terri
tory. The method of doing this work is
worse perhaps than the work itself. The
first thing is to create q lot of offices aud
appoint men to fill them. The Grand Jury
made brief reference to this practice. Pre-
ciSely how many men are now living upon
salaries paid for work which they propose
to do year or two hence is unknown. The
first thing done in the way of extending
street is to appoint a board of commission
ers at handsome salaries. The machinery
which the schemers want is board Of pub
lie works. A board of public works with
absolute powers would put these so-called
much-needed improvements through in
short order. Pretty much all the men
who have purchased land between the city
and the Pacific Ocean, extending several
miles toward the main land, have set their
hearts on board OF public works. Mean
time, according to the Grand Jury, there
are many public Institutions in the city
proper which need looking after. 1t will
take two or four years of honest administra-
ton to put these neglected public institu-
tionS into decent condition

time. When the Supervisors had by resolu-
tion doubled the cost of laying stone pave
ments there seemed prospect OF a harvest
for the poultice combination. But the Buck
ley organ should look abroad. San Fran
cisco is not the only city which has con-
demned the poultice. A New York journal
complains that "horses slip and slide on
them in most distressing fashion," and
that falls are of entirely too frequent oc-
currence" This objection to the poulTice is
apart from the common objection that it is
a short-lived pavement at best, and con-
stantly in need of repair, and costs en-
tirely too much as ordered laid in this city.
In one respect the Grand Jury's report is
behind the age-it does not recommend an
issue of bonds to make improvements of
which private Parties get the principal
benefit

AMERICAN MONETARY CONFER
ENCE.

President Harrison has issued call for a
meeting of the international Monetary Com
mission at Washington on the first Wednes-
day in next January. There has not been
time since 1872 when the conditions were so
favorable toward good results from this
conference as at present The existing
financial difficulties have practically demon
strated the necessity OF an increase in the
metallic money Of the world. Gold is passed
from band to hand among the great banks
of Europe and America to enable them to
make show Of cash. When one bank has
passed crisis it hands over its gold to an
other and that to a third. The more gold is
carted around in this way the greater the
lack OF confidence England, which assumes
TO be the financial center Of the world,
saved its credit by putting an embargo on
the export of gold and borrowing from its
neighbors. All the American nations meet
under these conditions to consider measures
to establish a common silver dollar which shall
be legal tender in each country, and other
measures to establish silver rs the money of
the countries. 1t is not at all improbable
that before the conference aGjourns the
United States will have passed bill en-
terng upon some new policy in relation to
silver coinage. The American Commission
can therefore proceed on the assumption
that it is mapping out the policy the whole
financial world will finally adopt.

A Lansing (Mich.) special to the st. Louis

loans on real estate.

1--WE regret that the National Grange,
the Farmers Alliance and other organiza-
tions of farmers have Endorsed the PROPOSE
ton in one form or another to make loans
by the Government to the people. That the
issuing of $1,000, 100000 of treasury notes
and loaning it to the people, either directly
or indirectly, at a low rate of interest would
lead to wild clamor for credit, every
Intelligent person must admit. That no
system could be devised or its opera
ton so guarded as to prevent par
tiality and favoritism in its distribu-
ton, first to personal friends of the loaning
agent, next to his political associates, every
thoughtful man must foresee. That it would
create feeling OF helpless dependence upon
government aid by those whom it is designed
to benefit, thereby relaxing their individual
effort, destroying their energy and self-reli-
ance and rendering them helpless mendi-
cants OF Government charity, every observer
of human nature must know. That it would
lead to thriftless improvidence, relying on
Government aid OF Government forbearance
by those whom it seeks to benefit.
