THE RICH FAVORED.
How the Tariff "Chinese Wall" Places til
Poor at the Mercy of the Trusts.

How the Tariff "Chincse Wall" Places the
Poor at the Mercy of the Trusts
When .the tariff shuts ont goods en-
tirely it is always such goods as poorer
people buy; rich people buy what suits
their tastes, whatever the price may
be. An illustration of this is found in
our Imports of carpets. The carpets
imported in the fiscal year 1890 came
in ct an average value of 81 16 yard
The treasury report shows that the
, average value for the fiscal year ended
Jpne 30, 1891, was 81. 0S a yard
Bat the report gives still more in
teresting insight into the workings Of
the Mckinley duty. One part of it
gives an extended comparison of the
imports for the niue months from
October, 1890 to June 30, 1891, with
those of the same months in the pre-
vious year. The Mckinley tariff went
into effect on October 8 last year, and
theimports of carpets from October 1
TO Juno 80 were valued at 80. Al yard.
The same thing is shown in cotton
cloth. That which came in under nine
months of the Mckinley law was
vained at 1917 cents yard as against
ll&6 cents for the corresponding nine
months under the old law. ..E
These figures were gotten up by the
trensury department at the cost Of
nuoh labor ard money to show the
oeAutiful workings of the Mckinley
tar1h law What they do show is that
the rich are going on buying European
goods while the poor are shut up to the
tender mercies OF the "home market" 4"
pLostered over as II Is with tariff trusts
and combinations
These figures explode one Of the most
deeply cherished superstitions of the
Rlgh tariff cranks They say that when
you put up the tariff the foreigner will
xeauce his prices in order to get int
ow market, and In this way he will
py our tariff taxes. The figures Just
quoted go to show that the foreigner is
Aot doing any such thing. They show
thAf he is continuing to sell high priced
goods to the rich people of America
while the poorer classes are simply

of the various states in which thsy in
tended locating their works.
THE first result of the publication Of
these proceedings, in which American
capital was very largely interested,
were numerous comments in the
American press on the loss to the
United States of what was at that time
quite a profitable business, i. e., the
purchase in Mexico of smelling ores
for consumption in the United States
and the far more serious evil of the
transference to Mexico of such large
amount of capital and skill, and the
building up in the latter country of an
important industry that could and
should have been retained north of the
Rio Grande. The action of the admin
istration undoubtedly has injured the
United States, and in two ways, since
it not oily affected seriously an industry
already established, but lessened the
purchasing power of neighbor for
agricultural products, such as corn,
wheat, hay, cotton, live stock, cotton
seed oil, etc. On most articles hitherto
imported into Mexico from its northern
neighbor, the new tariff of the country,
which goes into effect on the first of
November of this year, has raised the
duties materially, and on our cotton
seed oil, now largely imported for use
in soap-making, and on horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs, very heavy increase
has been made in the duties levied.
This will undoubtedly interfere to
great extent in the importation of those

ON BOTH SIDES.

~ c>ringer Shows That 1t Is Better For
~ Farmer to Have a Market on Both
S11es Of the Ocean.
Nothing shows more clearly the aim
q the advocates Of a high tariff than
,he ALLOWING terse criticism of their
docfrines made by Congressman
SprinRer in speech at Spencer, Iowa.
Scbtem Der IS, 1891; ,
s1aWhile Mr. Blaine and his especial
admirers are lauding the policy OF
reciprocity with Cuba, Porto Rico and
RrasiL and are searching for new
market for another pound of pork or
bsrrel of -four, where they are least
lylxelv to find it, Mr.. Mckinley is hold
;ng aloft in Ohio the policy OF the
chinese wall of exclusion. He ad-
dreassd an audience of farmers on the
18th Of August last in Richland coun-
~. ON which occasion he pointed out
sbe Advantages to be derived from a
home market, and showed how nice it
was 10 have factory adjoining the
farm. He said the farmers wanted to
raise the bread to sell to factory
hands. He then submitted to his audi
ence this question, and got the answer
desired. l quote from report OF his
xne sch as published in one of his par
tisan organs:
"sWould the farmers of Richland
s.ounty rather have their customers on
this side or on the other side OF the
ocean? A voice, This side.1 Of
course you would
S"This is the whole creed of the pro-
tectionists Your market must be on
this side of the ocean only. The re-
sponse Maj Mckinley received was
from one of his misguided partisans
If democrat had cared to submit an
answer he would have said: On both
sides, What farmer is there in Iowa
who would not rather have the market
Tor his pork products on both sides OF
the ocean than on this side only? Mr..
McKinley's policy would suggest to all
the other governments on the other
side of the ocean to follow the example
OF Germany and France in restricting
the sale of our pork products. II he
could have his views carried out, all
foreign governments would prohibit
the sale therein-not only of our pork
products, but of all our products. We
would then have all our customers 'on
this side of the ocean, Would you
rather have it thus, my farmer friends?
Mr. Mckinley and protectionists gem
orally answer: of course you would.
But trust you will answer for your
selves in November next by your votes,
that you prefer to have your customers
on both sides of the ocean. Then you
must vote for the reelection of Gov.
Boies in Iowa and Gov. Campbell N
Ohio and for democratic candidates
wherever elections are held"
How much would the farmers be get
ting now for their wheat and corn
were their markets confined, as advo-
Gated by Major Mckinley, to the
United States?

An Open Secret.

Laugh, my young daughters and keep your
hearts gay
The secret Of happiness lies
In holding the sunshine and driving away
The shadows that sometimes arise.
Remember this truth In your childhood years
That laughter is better than tears.
This 10 you, maidens-'tis sunshine that wins,
The light Of true loving heart
Shining out through eyes that doubt never
dims-
Is the secret Of beauty's art
'Tis also the secret OF love, my dears,
For smiles are more potent than tears.
Better than beauty that fades from the face,
This elixir Of wondrous art ...
II gloriies age with magical grace,
And warns the deep fount of the heart
No charm so able to hold and to win
AS love-light that shines from within.

WHY THEY THRONG HERE.

Some days ago DIR. Edgar returned
from trip of some months duration in
the east. He was known to hail from
California, and he was surprised at the
number of people who desired to come
out to this state. He found this feeling
existing in every quarter of the eastern
country he visited, and it embraced
quite number of states, ranging from
Illinois and Missouri to New York.
That this feeling is almost universal we
need have no doubt. All the excursion
agents and all the railway people high
up in authority confirm it. President
Marvel, of the Santa Fe railway, ON his
recent visit to this coast, told us to look
out for large thrush of people. AND
they are coming, by the tens of thous-
ands. They are here already to an ex
tent ten thousand greater than last
June. They come here both from
choice and compulsion. The doughty
Falstaff said he would do naught
upon compulsion, but he found
occasion to change his mind &C.
casionally. Compulsion will bring myri-
ads of people to Southern California
the compulsion of the blizzard and of the
nine to eight months of practical win
ter. Millions of Americans are under
merciless climatic dispensation, and
when they read of our exquisite seasons,
all merging into the matchless meteor
illogical dispensation OF mid-June, they
feel like coming whether or no. Just
now, at the east, they are having the
kind of thing the tourist encountered at
Greenock, in Scotland. lie had been
experiencing good deal of rain, and he
met small boy in downpour. ''Does
it rain here always, my boy ?" he in
quired. NAV, sir" said the youth,
sometimes it snaws." The inclement
season is now at its acme in the east. 1t
is sending people here in myriads; and,
what is more, they come to stay, or will
60 back and get ready to cast their lot
with US. With such unrivaled oppor-
tunities for making both health and
money as are offered by Southern Cali
fornia. who would care to live in regions
of the country where low temperatures
prevail which of themselves invite
death, and which are supplemented by
disaster-dealing cyclones? This cir
cumstance itself is destined to make
Southern California the most densely
populated section of the earth.

IT IS now said by those who ought to
know that there will be no bids sent in
to do the Pearl-street paving under the

TO bid before, find it impossible to get
backing for so great an undertaking with
payment in bonds, and the company
that was vetoed out of the bid by the
mayor is in doubt whether it will try
again for the job. 1t is to be hoped that
some responsible company will be found
to bid. If not, one OF our finest streets,
that would have been improved its whole
length into splendid boulevard, will be
left as it is; for the owners of property
on Figueioa street do not want to put

AN OLD and well known horticulturist
of Vaca valley, W. w. Smith, has been
monkeying with the business of adver-
Using in Atlantic papers for correspond
-ence with a view to matrimony. A
young lady in Georgia responded, and q
number of fervid letters passed between
them. Smith used an alias, but the
Georgia girl found out his true name
and wrote to him under it. The letter
fell into Mrs. Smith g hands, and the row
is beautiful one. Threats of divorce
suit; actual commencement of pro-
ceedipgs for damages by the lacerated
Georgia girl, and Smith chewing
the cud of bitter disappointment.
Mr.. Smith is one of the best authorities
in all branches of fruit culture, and his
writings ON the various subjects con-
nected with horticulture are accepted
by fruit growers as the result of practi-
cal and intelligent experiment. He
is now, or was short time ago, a lead
ing member of the state board of horti-
