"IF WE CAN WIN IT."

A prominent Democratic speaker in the
late New York campaign asserted that 1.-The
fight of to-day settles the fight Of 1892 if
we can win it." The fight of 1891 was an
experiment in an off year to see If the State
would put up with Tammany rule. If 1t
would, that rule might be extended next
year over the entire Union. In legislative
body nearly equally divided into two par
ties little more than one-halt the domi-
nant party may control the entire body.
Fifty-one is a majority OF n body of one
hundred members, and twenty-six is ma
jority of ifty-one. Tammany proceeds on
this basis Of computation. Tammany con-
trolls the State this year through its control
of the city. The State can dictate to the
Democratic National Convention as arti-
trariy as the city can dictate to the State.
If the nation can then be induced to accept
the Democratic ticket nominated by Tam
many the 10, 600 Tammany majority in New
York City virtually makes a President
The forecast of the New York orator above
quoted is plausible. With the solid South
certain for the Democratic ticket. the cleo
toral vote of New York comes within
twenty-eght of securing an election. Seven
of these will be found in Michigan and
probably nine in New Jersey. But next
year the election Will turn on national is
sues, aud on these issues the Republicans
have good chance to win

WHAT ANOTHER YEAR MAY DO.

The third annual report of Secretary Rusk
shows large increase IN the value of agri-
cultural exports over the preceding year
He notes an increase of imports of agricul-
turai products that do not compete with our
own and decrease in imports that compete
with our products. Another year will DEM
onstrate the wisdom of a policy which at
present is little better than an experiment.
The underlying principle of the Mckinley
tariff is 10 admit free articles which we do
not produce, and to increase the duties on
articles we do produce. If this is not sound
policy nothing but q practical experiment
will convince the public that it is not. In
theory it is unassailable. The proposition
that we should Import as cbeaply as posi-
BILE that which we must import, and collect
our revenue as largely as possible from arti-
Giles we can produce at home would almost
pass as self-eyident. If there is flaw in
such policy it will take practical expert
menl to find it. Within year the effects of
reciprocity will appear in our trade reports
We know now that a market is open for
many of our products in Brazil, the Spanish
West Indies and other countries, but it
takes time to build up foreign trade after
the market is open. Steamship lines must
be established and branch houses organized
to handle American imports into for
eign countries. Foreigners are now in
possession of nearly all the channels Of
commerce in these countries, both as to re-

SAN FRANCISCO AND THE ISTE-
RIOK.

Certain newspapers conducted in the in
terest of the railroad combination have
dwelt upon minor conflicts between San
Francisco and interior cities in times past
TO create the impression that the present
movement of San Francisco merchants to
secure lower freight rates is inimcal to the
interior. For example, the Record mon
refers TO n petition filed with the railroad
transportation management some years ago,
asking that Sacramento and interior places
be abandoned as competitive or terminal
points. Admitting that such petitions were
filed with the railroad companies some years
ago, it does not show conflict of interest
between the seaport city and the interior
con pared in magnitude to that which both
wage against the transportation companies.
Making Sacramento ana other interior
cities terminal points doubtless gives the
merchants OF these interior cities some
trade that was at one time enjoyed by San
Francisco. But San Francisco has new
causes of complaint that sink this into sig
nifcance. One Of these causes is that the
land transportation companies have,
through the use of money obtained from the
people, bought off wafer competition. The
fact that the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany and the Canadian Pacific Railroad
have been paid yearly stipend not to conf
pete in the transportation of goods to and
from San Francisco has often been charged
and never been denied. Both of these
routes are in respect TO this city. water
routes. The Pacific Mail may land goods
at San Diego or the Canadian Pacific at
Portland and Washington State cities, but
the bulk of their freight comes to San Fran
cisco. Consequently if the freight rate is
SO high tina. shipments by these routes are
Improbable, both the city and the interior
are injured 10 the extent of the artificial in
crease IN rates. Another cause of complaint
against land transportation companies is
that rates are fixed in the interest of the
Eastern shipper. For this reason Califor-
MIA merchants cannot reach so far East as
would be possible if there were no discrim-
iDation either way The present movement
for lower rates is in the interest of the
whole State. There is no demand that in
terror cities shall not be competitive points
When rates are fixed at cost with ordinary
profit and discrimination abolished, each
city will get goods at the lowest possible
cost and distribute as widely as possible
Both San Francisco and the interior will be
subject to the laws of competition.

WHERE THE FRAUDS ORIGINATE.

y Sacramento newspaper contemporary
las been examining the various suggestions
or the Mayors Of four different cities as to
the best way of governing cities. None
OF the opinions amount to anything worth
considering. One suggests that tie Mayor
Should have extraordinary powers; in other
words, that lie should run the government
and be responsible for the results. Another
believes that a city should have Mayor
and two branches of its government And
still another would have Mayor and only
aboard of Aldermen. The faults or mis-
management of city government, it is urged,
are mostly owing to the apathy of business
citizens. THE CALL urges that all of these
courses combined count for but small re-
suits.
. The cities in which the greatest abuses
exist are those where a few individuals con-
tI0l the nominating conventions of both
political parties In San Francisco, for in
stance, one corporation has substantially
controlled all Of the bosses, and by furnish
Ing them literally with money it has sue

ceiving and distribution While these for
eign firms may handle our goods on COM
mission where they find it clearly to their
interest to do so, they cannot be relied upon
to build up new trade. In view of the
fact that the country is prospering as it
never has prospered before, it seems the
part of wisdom to continue the present
policy until its merits or dement's are de-
termined by practical test. If it shall ap-
pear after trial that it is better TO place
duties on articles we must necessarily i'm
port, and admit those fee which we can
produce, the good sense of the people will
recognize the force of demonstration.

TAMMANY AND FLOWER

A Democratic contemporary thinks the
Republicans GIT 10 drop the subject of
Flower having been nominated by Tam
many for the reason that Flower cut down
the usual Republican majority north Of
Harlem. The reason does not seem suffi-
Gent. The Republican majority in the in
terror was without doubt cut into by the
oft-repeatei assertion that MI Plat ard
Mr.. Fassctt had been in some way RESPONSE
bic for the loss OF tile Worlds Fair. There
was some ground for the assertion. The
bills that were introduced into the Legisla-
ture threw the management of the fair,
including expenditures, into the hands of
Tammany, and were opposed on that ground
by Mr.. FaSsett and other Republicans. In
view of the fact that Democrats complained
that New York had lost $500, 900, 600 through
tile action OF Mr. Fassett and other Reyub-
Leans, 1t is not surprising that more than
the average number of Republican voters
remained at home on election day. The
assertion that Tammany dictated the nomi-
HatiOL of Flower rests on the TACT that for
the first time in the recent history OF New
York Tammany succeeded in excluding
from the State Convention all delegations
from New York City excepting its own.
All the Democrats in the city who do not
train with Tammany were unrepresented in
the State Convention. That nominated
Flower. All the recognized Tammany pa
pers were also in favor of Flower. Four of
the five great morning dailies were ranged
on the same side. Even the Times which
has not been regarded as a Tammany
paper, supported the nominee of conven-
ton in which Democrats of the Times way
Of thinking had no Representatives Our
local contemporary might perhaps profit by
the example OF the New York dailies in
dealing with the Tammany control OF the
party. Instead of denying such control
they glory in it. They assure their readers
that New YORK is a remarkably well gov
erned city in comparison with other great
American cities. Perceiving the utter folly
Of the attempt to misrepresent the position
Iammany has acquired in relation to the
party, they assert with great positiveness
that the dictation of Tammany will be for
the good of the party
