SINGLE TAX AND FREE TRADE,

The following extract is taken from a cir
cular OF the Single Tax Society of this city
just issued:
Wages are the last thing that should be re.
duced, for good wages mean good times. Reduce
the working mans ability TO buy, and hard times
are the necessary result. Then we hear the
senseess cry of "oyerpTOducJion, at the very
time when those whose labor produces all wealth
are suffering from want OF the things they have
prod uced.
1t will be admitted by all that the wages
of workmen are the foundation of prosper
ity. Without labor there can be no prosper
ity. Property only exists through labor.
As TO the policy of a single tax, that is,
supporting the Government by tax upon
land alone, there may be difference of opin-
ion. The owners OF farming land viii object
to being taxed TO pay the entire expense of
the Government, national, State and NUM-
cipal So the labOrer who owns home-a
lot of land and n hOuse-may object to be-
ing taxed while the mOney-lender escapes.
The drift CT public opinion at present is to
favor labor by the protection of home in
dustres. In California we know what pro-
lection means when applied to the Chinese
We do not wish to have wages reduced by
permitting Chinese TO come to the State
without hindrance. We fear, however, that
great many laborers are following party
which is in favor Of free trade, even with
China, where labor is at the lowest ebb. If
our country were open 20 free trade, we do
not doubt that the price of wages would
decline at once in California by one-half.

a NON-PAKrIsAN MOVEMENT.

A nOn-Dartlsan movement has proceeded
so far in New York that it Is now con-
sidered certain that full municipal ticket
of that character will be put IN the field. The
men at the head of the movement are not
politicians. The call for a meeting was
signed by the Rev. r. Heber Newton.
Jesse Seligman, John Clafln and other
clergymeD, bankers and merchants. In
vitatiOns were sent to the Chamber of Com
merce, the Board Of Trade and Trans
pOrtaton, and other business and in
dustrial organizations. One of the signers
of the call says that they propose to nomi-
nate complete ticket from Mayor down to
Alderman. The preliminary meeting was
held last night and the nominating cOnven-
ton will probably be held about the middle
of September. One of the signers, a bank
President, said:
The present movement is now and will be
thoroughly independent of politics. / think it
viii be permanent. We propose to arrange
Things so that we can have conventions every
year, with delegates from all the exchanges aud
various organizations OF worklngmen. No mat
ter what the political Affiliations of the delegates
may be they will not influence their efforts in be-
bali Of the reform in municipal affairs. That is
the great thing we are looking for.
The politicians profess not to be afraid
of citizens ticket. They say that the
business men will meet, pass resolutions
and adjourn. When the work of organiza-
ton comes they will be too busy with their
own affairs to give much attention to
municipal politics. Most of them will con-
clude that it is easier to pay few hundred
dollars in the way of extra taxation than
to conduct campaigns.

sILNEK KEsoLUTIONs.

The San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce passed resolutions Tuesday after
noon against the free coinage of silver and
in favor of the coinage Of S5,OOO,0OO a
month. The House will vote to-day on the
House bill with Senate amendments. The
House bill provided that silver to the
amount of S4,JOO,OO0 month be purchased
at the market price and that the notes is
sued in payment of such silver might be
redeemed on presentation with bullion at
the market price. The Senate struck out
the bullion redemption clause. The House
Committee ~ Coinage has reported ad-
versely to the Senate amendments, but it is
not believed that the committees report
viii be sustained. The Chamber of Com
merco will probably see that the pith of
their resolutions is communicated to our
delegation before the vote in the House is
taken. Tie solution Of the silver problem
which the chamber recommends is substan-
TALLY Identical with The solution The CALL
has urged sinGa the Inauguration of a Re
publican administration made some legiSla-
ton in the interests of silver possible.

THAT FATAL FIGHT.
Reporters Relate What They Saw
at the Killing.

Again Judge Rix's courtroom was
crowded almost to suffocation yesterday
afternoon by loafers, pugilists and the like
when the cases of La Rue and his code
PENDANTS were again taken up for pre- lim-
mary hearing
W. r. Wells, morning paper reporter,
who was present at the fight, testified re-
garding the methods of boxing of the cor
testants. What he had seen was reckless
scutfie between two inexperienced men,
who pummeled each other repeatedly on
the nose and face, and occasionally below
the belt line. When Mcbride fell he tainted
away, gasping for breath. His eyes opened
spasmodically and looked glazed. Wit
ness heard cries of Foul! foul!' from all
sides when Mcbride fell. He then told
Secretary Jamison to send for doctor, as
the unconscious fighter was evidently IN
serious condition.
Cross-examined, Wells said the contest
was a very ridiculous affair, attended by
good deal OF disorder among the spectators.
La Rue danced around very much like a
monkey and was laughing considerably.
Although the fight was informal, witness
said it was expected and prearranged. He
went there TO represent his paper at the
prize fight" Secretary Jamison told him
that two young fellows were going to have
| fight in the rooms of the Golden Gate Ath-
letc Club. Jamison did not know then
who the young men were, only they had
engaged the rooms to fight over some
dispute.
Manuel Brown, newspaper reporter,
took the stand and corroborated the testi-
mony given by Wells Liddle was time
keeper of the fight and Jamison was pres
ent. Witness heard Professor Gleason
exelaim, sit is - shame" when the
| fight was nearly finished.
| Fred Lawrence, another reporter, testified
/ hat 1n,, A1.
| tights as the La Rue-McBrlde row in the
Golden Gate Club, bat it was not the gen.
eral rule. Bowers told him that the boys
had fought with fiye-ounce gloves.
| The Prosecuting Attorney wished to have
| it admitted by the defense that the club
| was not incorporated.
Attorney Coffey admitted that it was not,
| but his confrere, W. H. Bodfish, would not
| make any admissions.
Charles Phillips, a waiter, living at 26
| Minna street, stated on the stand that he
| had been intimately acquainted with Me-
| Bride previous to the night of the fatal
| fight. He said he had had talk with
| Officer L. L. Ryan before the fight, but he
| could not remember saying anything about
the men fighting for a prize.
On the 10th day of June, between u and
| ! O'Clock, did you make a statement to
| Officer Ryan that Mcbride and La Rue had
put up so each, making prize of $40 to
| be fought for, and the money was in the
hands Of one Robertson, chief waiter of the
Palace Hotel, and that Robertson was very
sorry for it?' asked the Prosecuting At
| torney.
No, sir; l don't remember ever having
said it. At that time was working at the
Palace Hotel"
| The prosecution asked the question to
! show that Phillips made different state
ments regarding the fight.
The hearing was continued until o'clock
| this afternoon.

FEDERAL SUPERVISION.

Speaker Reed has found time to prepare
an article for the North american RerjelC
defining the purpose OF Congress in assum-
ing supervision Of the election of members
OF Congress. Mr.. Reed shoots straight at
the mark. He states the facts or conditions
which justify Congress in interfering in
elections that have hitherto been conducted
under State authority. He assumes as a
fact that cannot be successfully disputed
that, in violation of the Constitution of the
United States and the law of the land, the
negro vote in the South is suppressed by
." intimidation with shotguns and MODS, 3"
neuiralized by stuffing of ballot-boxes
% and systematic Justification of returns. ="
The negro vote is suppressed in conse-
quence of a fear in the South that superior
numbers will enable that race to become
dominant in localities. Possibly Mr.. Reed
has some sympathy with the object of this
general policy, as he does not denounce
it, but he argues that this Justification
does not in the least touch the subject of
Federal elections. Every Southern man
knows there is no danger of negro DOM
inaton in the United States" Following in
this line Of argument, he says:
Suppose II were fact that negro domination
aud aIbarism would follow from honest voting
IN tie Southern State elections; suppose it were
q fact that disregard of law and complete viola
tlon OF the rights secured to the negro by The
Constitution absolutely necessary to pre-
serve the civilization OF the South; what has
that 10 do with Federal elections2 Violation OF
law aud disregard OF statutes are not needed to
save the United States.
The remedy Mr.. Reed proposes is a lin
tied Federal supervision, which should
leave the Southern States free to manage
tLeir local elections. To quote from the
article:
Let the country at once assume the count and
return OF its own elections. 1t may be thar this
could be done in a way that would leave the
States which object to supervision free from all
interference from their neighbors, as it would
certainly leave US free from false counting and
false returns.
An objection that may be urged to Mr..
Reeds position is that it proposes to deal
with a great wrong from a party stand
point. He does not object to the practical
disfranehisemcnt of negroes, so long as
that disfranchisement does not affect e
number of Republican Representatives that
on a fair vote would be sent to Congress.
The suggestion is in the nature of COM
promise. If the Southern States will al
low negroes to vote Tor Congressman,
Congress will allow the Southern States to
cheat the negro out of his vote at local
elections. 1t is not likely. however, that
this measure Of compromise will be ac-
cepted. The chance the Democratic party
has Of again gaining control Of the House
lies in the return Of solid Democratic dele
cations from the Southern States.

INCARCERATION.

1t is singular what disposition there is
among some of our San Francisco news
paper contemporaries at present to ex-
aggerate in speaking of ordinary occur
rences. To such an extent is this propen-
sity carried that almost every day THE
CALL management is solicited to publish
communications correcting false statements
made by contemporary. OF course we
cannot give up our space to correct SLAM
ders which have been set afioat, for such
duty would prove too arduous. The only
suggestions we make at this time is for the
parties who have been aggrieved to ask
that their communications be inserted where
the misrepresentation appeared. But after
all perhaps ISLANDERS in such cases correct
themselves, Tor people have come to doubt
the trnthfulneSs of nearly everything read
in these papers. The stories are classed
with "Gulllyer's Travels, or Sindbad the
Sailors Adventures"

NOT PARALLEL CASES.

A correspondent in an evening contempo-
rary has got things financial mixed up. He
draws a comparison between the depreci-
ated greenback during the war and the sill
yer dollar. There is no ground for such
comparison and it only serves to confuse
the public mind. The greenback was
promise to pay. 1t had no intrinsic value;
the market or current value it possessed de-
pended entirely upon the future ability of
the Government to keep its promise. When
that future ability became demonstrated
the greenback dollar rose to par. The sill
yer dollar is not promise to pay. The
Government does not propose to redeem it
in anything. 1t is, with limited coinage,
maintained at an equality with the gold dol
lar by the action Of the Government in re-
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1890-06-25

ceivng it on an equality with gold for pub
lie dues. In the face of hostile legislation
silver has maintained itself in the market
at the rate to gold of about 20 to l. With
friendly legislation there is reason to be-
lieve that it will recover its old ratio of 16
to 1. This ratio NAV be reached by in
creased purchase of silver for coinage pur-
poses without any disturbance of property
values or rates of exchange.
