FOREIGN TRADE.

a contemporary. which bases its hopes of
seeing San Francisco a great city on the
adoption OF a free-trade policy, assures the
public that because San Francisco faces the
whole Pacific Ocean it would, if there were
no legal obstacles in the way, be the great
mart for all the countries by which that
ocean Is bounded. A consideration which
somewhat affects the movement of cOmmodi-
ties is the demand for such commodities in
the several parts of the world. The fact of
facilities IN the way OF transportation would
not of itself induce the merchant of one
country to send goods to another. They
would want, also, some assurance that goods
could be sold when landed. Our contem-
porary figures up commerce of $500, 600, 900
which, in its estimation, might be directed
to San Francisco if there were no legal OBJ
stacles in the way. Tue legal obstacles. of
course, are duties on the products of these
countries. Chile has a foreign commerce of
$40, 100000 year, Of which we get less
than $4,000. II is assumed that most OF
this commerce would be directed to this city
if there were no tariff law. 1t is not clear,
however, that Chile could. send US wheat if
it were admitted free. Consequently. Chile
sends her wheat where there is a market for
it. Hides are another article of exp ort from
for nearly twenty years They send Us all
there is a demand for. Perhaps our con-
temporary Will kindly enumerate the arti-
Giles which Chile exports for which market
would be found in this country if there were
no duties. Most OF the countries facing the
Pacific Ocean are agricultural countries. So
Is California. To a large extent we pro-
duee surplus of the articles they
export. Central America sends us coffee,
Dut we admit coffee free. South American
countries send us other products, of which
III the aggregate 81 per cent are admitted
Tree Mexico would send us considerable
1rult II our tariff did not add to the cost of
Mexican fruit in our market But it is not
clear that it would be better for rs to buv
fruit Of Mexico than to raise it ourselves
The countries which face the Pacific Ocean
purchase mostly manufactured goods.
These they import from countries that
can manufacture them at the lowest cost.
If California were a great manufacturing
State il would have some advantage over
the Atlantic States and Europe in the mar
keis Of the Pacific Coast countries of South
America. But as yet California is not
great manufacturing State. We buy most
Of our finished goods in the East or in Eu-
rope. The facilities offered by the Pacific

Europe or in New England and sell them in
south American ports at lower prices than
similar goods can be imported directly
Our contemporary apparently needs to be
informed that large trade between coun-
tries producing the same things is improb-
able. California cannot send wheat to Chile
nor Chile to California II our surplus
products were largely articles which Chile
did not grow there would be some chance

goods at Eastern or European prices we

LOOKING FORWARD.

A 10-cent pamphlet has been issued In
New York entitled THE Stricken Nation,
which is apparently inspired by desire to
hasten the action of Congress in providing
for the fertilization of our sea ports. 1t is
written in THE Battle of Dorking" style,
and points out the defenseless condition of
the American people against premedltated
attack by England. A war between En-
gland and the United States is imagined to
commence in 1892, as the outcome of an at
tack upon an American fishing schooner by
a Canadian cruiser, which is in turn cap
tured by an American gun-boat. The En-
glish Government beng prepared for war,
imposes impossible conditions of peace, and
as these conditions are respectfully declined,
the war begins. The United States is pene-
trated at all points; all the seaport cities
are laid waste and interior cities are aD-
preached by light-draught gun boats armed
with long-range guns. The British have
everything their own way and in the end
propose the most humiliating terms. which
the Americans have no choice but to accept.
And all because the American Congress had
neglected to make appropriations for the
fertilization of our sea ports.

ALIVE AND soUIRMING."

Democratic papers have laid the Federal
Election Bill on the shelf several times, but
it does not stay there. Editor Dana has dis
covered that in spite of the blow admins
tered some days ago by clique of Republi-
cans, It is still alive and squirming. Mr..
Dana says the bill was drawn to perpetuate
the Republican party in power. He as
'sumes that it will make farce of every sub
sequent election of Representatives. Mr..
Dana seems to have lost faith in republican
institutions. He imagines that the people
can be held powerlcss TO right what they be-
heve to be n wrong. The law which is to
work snch results provides for supervision
OF elections for Congressman by Federal Of
hclals These officials will be appointed bv
Federal Judges To assume that these Fed
eral Judges will as a body appoint men who
will turE elections into a farce is to place
low estimate on their character. And vet
they are the most independent class of Of
fiee-holders in the United States. They are
appointed for life and can only be removed
by process of impeachment. If we may not
expect this class OF officials to exercise the
power entrusted to them without prejudice
as to party, where shall we look for the of
fetal integrity without which free insti-
tutions must be admitted to be a
failure2 1t is probable that Federal
supervision over Congressional elections
will give the Republicans twenty-five

THE NEW YORK sENAToRsHIP.

The selection of one from the many aspir-
ants for the New York Senat0rship means
not only the promotion of a man but the
adoption of a policy. The canvass has
taken the form of a protest against going
into the next Presidential contest under a
free-trade banner. At the bottom it is a trial
of strength between Governor Hill and ex-
President Cleveland. 1t is well known that
Mr.. Hill does not indorse the free-trade
platform of Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. HiliS
trusted organ, the New York Sun, is an
open advocate of the protective policy. 1t
holds that the success of the Democrats in
1892 depends upon the ability of the party
to shake off Mr.. Cleveland and his anti
tariff policy. AT the present time Mr.. Dana
of the Sun and Smith NJ. Weed are believed
to be the foremost candidates. Either is
acceptable to Mr. Hill. Weed is making an
active canvass, while Dana waits for the
nomination to come to him. The choice
probably lies with Mr.. HUI, but he wants
the nomination to go to the individual who
can give the party the greatest strength.
The Legislature viii ballot for Senator On
Tuesday. The lines between Cleveland and
Hill are not perhaps closely drawn, bat the
election of either Dana or Weed would be
victory for Hill.

Darkness.

The Tournament Called on Account of
Darkness.
The Lakeside Tennis Club held its quar-
terly tournament yesterday at Oakland.
Although the sun shone brightly its rays
were TEMPERED by a light breeze, making
playing quite comfortable. Toward evening
again the sky became overcast and it was
feared rain would interrupt the game, but
no such misfortune occurred.
The tournament was held to determine
who should contest the right to the cham
Dionship belt with Hubbard, its present
holder, and this, coupled with the desire TO
earn applause from the many pretty girls
among the interested spectators, spurred
the particil ants on to an exhibition of their
utmost proves. COmstock alone disap-
pointed his friends, his playing being far
below its usual excellence.
In tile second round Haight's clever plays
ELECTED rounds of applause and he easily
vanQuished Gadesden, although the latter
has greatly improved since his late sojourn
in England. The championship of the day
was then TO be contested for by Hight and
Breck. Their playing was equally fine,
points being made alternately and neither

THE TIN-PLArE INDUSTRY.

The very best quality of tin is known to
exist in the Black Hills, S. Oak, and arrange
ments have been made for machinery that
will turn out ore at the rate Of 800 tons
day. The Superintendent of these mines
says the mineral is the black oxide of tin,
and will average 100 pounds to the ton. No
such tin has ever been produced, he says, in
the celebrated tin mines of Cornwall,
England. Specimen plates of Anne rican
manufacture have already appeared in the
market and been pronounced as good as the
imported article. The present indications
are that the tin-pail scare will have subsidized
before the next Congress will be elected.
The homemade article will be found in
every tinware-store in the country, and
thousands of men, some tin-minerS and
some workers in tin plate factories, will find
steady and remuneratlve employment. Elec-
tons carried on misrepresentation are not
likely to be permanent in their results.
