CENTRAL AMERICAN COFFEE.

1t is proposed at the State Department at
Washington 10 give practical effect TO the
reciprocity clauses of the Mckinley tariff by
imposing duty on coffee grown in coun-
tries which continue to levy duties-not
strictly for reyenue-on products of the
United States. Conspicuous among these
countries are the FIVE Central American
States, from which 100000 pounds of
coffee were imported last year. If these
States fan to modify their tariffs, while
Brazil and Venezuela enter into an arrange
ment with Us, the effect would be to
diminish this traffic and to surrender. our
markets.
OF the worlds consumption Of coffee,
which is roughly estimated az 100000, COO
pounds per year, the United States consume
about 100000 pounds, or two-flths.
About nine-tenths of the whole is supplied
by the two American continents. only one
tenth coming from Java, CeyloD, Arabia
and other Asiatic!or African coffee fields.
All this coffee now comes in free Twenty
years ago it paid duty. The duty was re-
pealed on the ground that it was an article
which we do not produce and which ought
to be cheapened 10 the consumer. In
point of fact the abolition Of the duty did
not cheaper coffee, as Brazil, which fur
nishes three-fflhs Of the coffee consumed in
the United States, Immediately imposed an
export duty equal to the import duty which
we relinquished. But coffee remained on
the free list.
Under the act of the last Congress South
and Central American sugars. hides and
other merchandise which paid duty when
the act was passed were Professionally placed
on the free list, on the condition that the
countries which produced them would re-
ciprocate by admitting certain products of
tine United States free of duty and the
President was authorized, in the event Of
their not doing so, TO restore their products
to the place on the dutiable list which they
then occupied. No such provision was
made with regard to coffee, because it was
already on the free list, and it was beyond
the power Of Congress to delegate to the
Executive the right to fix duties ON foreign
imports. What is proposed now is TO pass
a short act levying given rate of duty on
the coffee of States which refuse to recipTo-
cate
This would be serious business for Gen.
trail America. AT the present time England.
France and Germany levy duties on coffee.
In the year 1890 sur coffee imports from that
portion Of the continent were as fOllows:

DON PEDRo's MISSION.

The mission Of Don Pedro Mont of Chile
to Washington is to obtain an expression of
opinion on the civil war in that country.
Don Pedro is the head of the Congressional
or Constitutional party. as opposed 10 Bal
maceda, who is the head of the Presidential
party. lie wants first to get his party recog-
nized as belligerents occupying an equal
footing with his enemy, and next he would
like an expression of opinion by the Ameri-
can people on Balmaceda's attempt to over
throw the Constitution of Chile. In the
present condition Of affairs he can hardly
expect to be received by Mr.. Blaine or TO
obtain an audience with the President, butbe
can do something toward shaping opinion
on the pending struggle.
Balmaceda's agents describe the Constitu-
tional movement as a mere local insurrection

CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER.

a prominent Illinois Democrat is quoted
as saying: "The farmers and kickers have
torn POLITICS all 10 pieces in several sections
Of the country, but they have not injured the
Democratic party IS much as they have the
Republican. Now if we do not take advan-
tage of the situation we ought to get whip
ped" The prominent Illinois Democratpro-
poses 70 take advantage of the situation by
nominating a Presidential candidate whom
the farmers and kickers will not object to. He
thinks Chief Justice Fuller would get more
votes than Cleveland and he frankly ad-
mits that " it is votes we are after" The
Fuller boom is based upon the fact that the
Chief Justice has done nothing nor SAID
anything to scare away voters. Cleveland
has Fuller would have had he been in
Cleveland's place. Il is not assumed that
Mr. Fuller entertains views more friendly
10 the farmers and kickeTs than Mr.. Cleve-
land. simply that the farmers and kiekers
know less about Mr.. Fuller than they know
about Mr. Cleveland. Before the war the
Democrats elected two Presidents mainly
on the fact of their comparative obscurity.

WORLDS FAIR DIssENsIoNs.

In the two years to elapse before the
WORLDS Fair viii be opened it is expected
tie managers viii heal their dissensi0ns.
The sooner they commence the better. Com
missi0ners who are noted only for their self
seeking prOpeusi,ies must be retired. The
methods which conduct to success in private
business cannot always be applied success
fully to public enterprises. In the one case
man works for himself, in the other he is
presumed t. have the public good upper
most in his mind.
If California loses the headship of the
Horticultural Department the loss may be
attributed mainly TO ". II. &c Young Gen
cral Chapman was highly recommended for
that post but for some reason Commits
siouer Forsyth aud Commissioner de Young
concentrated their influence on Maxwell.
These two Worlds Fair officials apparently
thought they could run the California de-
lartment to suit themselves. If anybody
wanted anything they must 90 to one of
the two. Other CalifoTnians interested in
the success OF the fair did not like to see IL
overshadowod by such a personality. In
fuences were brought TO bear which de-
feated Maxwell in spite Of the supposed in
fuence Of his hackers. Director General
Davis promptly nominated for the post the
man whom California had declared for. The
Chicago Directory confirmed the nomination,
bus the Board Of Control rejected the Cali
fornia nominee. Then, to the surprise OF
every one, Commissioner Forsyth, who had
led the fight for Maxwell, was nominated in
place Of Chapman. De Young's paper now
says that ''if the muddle continues Califor-
Ma will disgust the Worlds Fair Directors
and invite the cold shoulder" II may be
proper to ask who began the middle? Why
was not the man whom the hOTticulturiStS
# the State had selected for the Office al
lowed to come before the Directory? Why
did Forsyth snd De Young procure the
nomination Of Maxv ell, who was not known
10 possess any qualification for the Office?
THE CALL has stated, upon information
believed to be reliable, that the reason was
that De Young wanted man at the head of
the department who would conduct the
Office pretty much as De Young might
dictate. De Young now talks in his paper
about the danger of dissensions. He wants
the rest of California to let him have his
own way. If the State viii not surrender
itself to his lead there will be discussions
which will disgust the Worlds Fair Direc-
tors with California. The people Of Cali
foruia do not care copper who represents
the State at the Worlds Fair so that the
acknowledged representatives are men of
ability and character. They do not want
De Young's men there, for they have no
confidence in De Young. The general be-
lief is that he is looking out for his own in
terests and is looking after Worlds Fair
matters for the money there is in it for him.
The people would prefer to see we'll
qualified and impartial Eastern man at the
lead Of the Horticultural Department than

a duty on coffee would take out of the
pocket of the planter the amount Of the
duty, and in cases where the margin Of profit
was small, it might convert that profit into
loss
Central American statesmen are bestir-
ring themselves to develop their respective
countries, to induce immigration and extend
the area of cultivated land. They will de-
feat their own purposes if they shut them
selves out from the best market they have
for their chief product. They are naturally
reluctant to surrender their chief source of
income. Or the total revenue of Guatemala,
which averages 81. 500, 900, about half is de-
rived from customs duties, and of SalvadOr's
revenue Of S3,6oo,0O0, $22l5,0OO come from
the same source. But it would be better for
the Guatemalans and Salvadorians to find
some new source of income than TO expose
their coffee crop to taxation at this port.
The two States spend between them every
year about two millions for the support Of
armies, which appear to be kept up for the
purpose OF fomenting civil wars. III they

could stand some reduction in the income

G. f. Smnrr, the General Freight Agent Of
the Southern Pacific Company, has returned
from the meeting of the Transcontinental
Association in Chicago. He stated to a
CALL reporter yesterday that no material
changes had been made in the tariff rates
beyond those already published in THE
CALL. The full action of the association
on all matters that came up for deliberation
will be made public in three or four weeks
The association decided that all exhibits for
the Worlds Fair will be transported back
20 their original shipping points, free of
charge, by the lines over which they passed,
on presentation OF proper credentials that
the exhibits had been exhibited at the fair.
Mr.. Smurr further said that the meeting Of
the association had been remarkable for it's
harmony and the unauimity of action of the
members, and that when not IN session the
members enjoyed themselves greatly in
strictly legitimate ways.

planned of excessive freight rates between
Latrobe and Sacramento. They state that
the railroad charges them from 81 2215 to
So 2Sh per cord to carry their cordwood
from Latrobe to Sacramento, a distance of
thirty-Six miles. As the wood only sells for
SO 90 a cord in Sacramento, and to the
freight must be added the expense Of cut

pers claim that they receive about % cents
a cord for their wood The commission will
investigate the matter on July 18th.

lars Stolen by Him.
Joseph S. Ross, negro, employed as a
janitor at the clothing-st0re of J. V. Peck 81
Co., 712 Market street, was arrested by
Officer Madden yesterday and booked on
five charges of petty larceny. For months
he has been engaged in stealing clothing
from the store and disposed of the plumber
Mt various pawn-shops and secondhand
stores.
So steadily did he keep this up that nearly
$1,000 worth of clothing had been stolen be-
fore he was detected. Officer Madden has
already recovered 5000 worth. At the store
OF St'inbsrg at Spring street an express
wagon load of the goods was found. Stein
berg was arrested on charge Of receiving
stolen goods.
Ross is a middle-aged man. His method
Of stealing from the store under the eyes OF
the propTietors was very simple. After
finishing his work of cleaning up In the
morning he would fill his pals and buckets
with the garments and walk off quietly with
them. Henry Wood, secondhand store
keeper, arrested for grand larceny, is ac-
cnsed Of having instigated Boss thieYing

long as the bullion in gold dollar is worth
in the market more than the bullion in a
silver dollar the owner of gold would not
exchange his gold dollars for any other
mans silver dollars. And if he would not
exchange them dollar for dollar he would
not use gold dollars for payments which
could be legally made in silver dollars. In
the event of free coinage gold would resolve
itself into a commodity. 1t would be for
sale at the market price. 1t would be
bought to settle balances with in gold cOun-
tries and to meet obligations for which pay
ment in gold had been stipulated. And the
margin between the price of gold and the
price of silver would be precisely the differ
ence between the market price of the bull
ion in a silver dollar aud the market price
of the bullion in a gold dollar.

UNDER FREE COINAGE.

a Democratic contemporary says: I'm
der free coinage there could be no wide
margins between the prices Of gold and
silver, unless all the gold in the country
had been forced out of circulation" The'
error Of this assertion lies in the assumD-
ton that men who own gold would pay it
out when silver would answer as we'll.
Dollars of the two metals are now inter-
changeable on a gold basis. Under free
coinage, which means in the course Of time
the coinage and circulation of all the silver
bullion that may be offered, this fictitious
value Of silver could not be maintained. So
