NIGGERs NO GOOD, SEE?
John L., Drunk on the Stage, Discourse
on the Colored Race.


SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-It was John
L. Sullivan's day yesterday.
If he didn't quite own the town he
certainly was monarch of all he sur
viewed in the evening at Bush Street
Theatre. where he was playing in
"Honest Hearts and Willing Hands,
There were rumors of something start
ling TO occur at the theatre when the
curtain went up.
1t was known that he had been on one
of his characteristic Sprees all day, that
he had smashed his gold watch on the
Variety Theatre bar, thrown away a
diamond ring, and threatened to exter-
inmate the colored race, so everybody
went to the theatre.
When Sullivan made his entry in the
first act his mighty legs wobbled and
his head bobbed from side to side. lie
read his lines for moment or two, then
with a regular 'razzle dazzle" gait,
came down to the footlights. SteadylDg
himself, he gazed at the audience d
minute and then said: Ladies ara
gentlemen, they've lied about me.
Ladies and gentlemen, | wanter say a

The editor of the Examiner don't.
See?

give my opinion of de Examiner"
By this time there was wild commo-
ton in the audience. Women laughed
and men howled. Even the clarion
tones of the mighty John l.. were
stilled by the tumult. When the noise
subsidized John LIS fancy had taken
milder turn. He bent over to the
leader of the orchestra and said
.Young Teller play music" The music
did not begin, however, and Sullivan
moved as far back as the scenes would
permit and said:
"Well. never min. boys. | was 60
ing to sing, but l won't. P'haps I've
been drinkin' bit: but dunno. | can
lick any niger, though, that ever
lived. Sides, pay for everythln' /
drink myself"
THAT BOY IN THE GALLERY.
In the forge scene Mr.. Sullivan was
attacked with fit of dizziness, and
nearly knocked the anvil over. Many
thoughtless persons in the audience
laughed. When Champion announced
his ability to defend his home and
parent, boy in the gallery yelled,
''Say mudder, John; say mudder."
Mr.. Sullivan, evidently panied, looked
up and replied young Teller, yer
better look out or yer'll git hurt"
Then John Gained down. 1t was ex-
pected that he would forget himself and
knock out Joe Lannon in the boxing
scene, but he didn't. The audience
howled with delight all the evening, but
Manager Jack Burnitt went wild with
despair.

A press dispatch from Chicago

That Limb.

The limb, from that Democratic
tree in Ohio which the Reno, Gazette
OF "Wednesday, saw crashing through
the air, seems to have struck its editor
on the head and knocked him silly.
The Gazette, true to the instincts
OF the party it represents, pronounces
the financial plank Of the Ohio Dem
ocratio platform a straddle on the
money question and by implication, at
least, favors the silver plank in the
platform on which McKiHley stands.
The former was advocated by Gen
Warner, Chairman Of the National
Executive Silver Committee, and re-
ceives the hearty support OF all
honest friends OF the white metal in
both parties; while the latter, the
work Of John Sherman, the arch
enemy OF silver, is supported 10y every
gold bug in the country and such
papers as the Gazette which are more
anxious for party advantage than
they are for the free coinage OF silver.
The press of Nevada should ignore
politics in this matter and hold I'D
the hands Of our friends in the East
who are fighting our battles for us.

for example. Last year the hop grow
ers of New York state went TO Washing-
ton to get higher duty. claiming that
they were suffering disastrous competi-
tion from German hops The Hop
Growers association of Madison. Oneida.
Otsego. franklin and ScIioharie coun-
ties had representatives before the Nc
Kinley committee to ask for n duty of
twenty cents a pound. the duty being
then eight cents They succeeded in
getting a duty of fifteen cents pound.
and today they are selling their hops at
considerably lower prices than prevailed
at the time when they were before Nc
Kinley's committee.
And why? Well. we produce more
hops than we consume at home. and we
export a large quantity every year and
the crop this year is very large One Of
the very men who pleaded SO Earnestly
for higher duty admitted that he sold
his entire crop in London and got I74
cents pound net. while he was offered
only eleven cents pound in New York.
Still he wanted protection from Ger
man hops. although he boasted that he
had shipped to England. right on the
open London market. and competed and
got four cents pound more than any
German hops in the London market.
How protection could help him in
such q case he did not explain.
And protection has not helped the hop
growers. 1t was stated before the Nc
kinley committee in March, 1890, that
theprice of American hops was then from
fifteen to twenty cents pound; they are
quoted today in the New York market
Mt from thirteen to seventeen cents, and
prices have been going down of late
The crop has been much larger than was
estimated, and as the surplus has to be
exported it is very natural that prices
should drop.
This state Of things has had a de-
pressing effect upon the growers One
OF them writes to The Cultivator and
Country Gentleman to suggest that
what is wanted is thoroughly organ
lied society, with laws like those of the
Medes and Persians. and perfect unity
OF action" in order that the growers
may make good sales at paying prices"
Zone thing more, says this CORE
spondent, does the grower stop to con-
slider that when he takes fifteen cents
for his hops and urges them upon the
dealer at that price. he is taking Just
the amount of the protective tariff? He
would not. when the tariff was eight
cents, have been in a hurry about taking
that sum; he would have hesitated.
thinking that he certainly should have a
margin over the price foreign hops could
be imported for"
That protection has not helped the hop
growers is perfectly natural Let any
one examine our exports and imports for

THE FLOW OF GOLD.
How the TariG Depresses the Price of
Our Farm Produce In Europe

How the Tariff Depresses the Price of
Our Farm Produce In Europe.
The gre;st expectation of our wheat to
Europe has caused some fear as to the
rate of exchange. since premium has
already been placed on gold bars and
coin by the banks of England and
France.
Now this simple little statement has
IN 1t an important meaning for the
American farmer. and should enlighten
him as to one of the hidden evil effects
Of the tariff.
A premium on gold means that more
wheat must be given to get it; in other
words. 1t depresses the prices of wheat.
But why did these banks find it neces-
sary to put a premium on gold? Let any
wheat grower look at the tables of i'm
ports which were recently published by
the treasury department to show how
the Mckinley law has worked For the
nine months extending from Oct 1, 1890.
to June 30. 1891. there was heavy fall
ing off in many classes of goods that we
have been buying from Europe, and
our high tariff organs have been print
ing the figures showing these reductions
with the utmost satisfaction, claiming
stupidity enough that ..Europe's loss is
our gain
In the first nine months of the McKin-
lty law manufactures of wool fell off
Sl4,9O0,O ,O00: cotton lacings, edgings, ETC.,
81, zoo. 900; manufactures of fax, hemp,
jute, etc. s.. 700 900: hats, bonnets, etc,
$4,000. 900; seeds. 81 SOC. 600; manufac-
lures of silk. $1.7O0.O00 buttons, 81
200. 900: corsets, S720.O00: fancy articles,
1926, 900. Tin plate increased by S13, ,600,-
600. but it has fallen off enormously since
the Mckinley tax took effect on July /.
Our imports of plates in June reached
S3,Ol6.O0O worth, and in July they feIl
to $425. 1913 worth.
These figures show that we are refus-
ing. thanks to our McKinleyism, to take
the very things which Europe has to Of
fer us in payment for our farm products,
and Europe is therefore compelled to
trench upon her gold supply in order to
make payment. But Europe needs her
gold and will not willingly part with it.
Hence the price of gold begins to rise
just so soon as it becomes necessary to
send gold here to pay for our produce.
Thus our farmers are compelled to
take lower price for their produce
than they would If we allowed Europe
to pay us in goods Europe has an
abundance of these. and they are SO
cheap that our protected manufacturers
quake and tremble every time anybody
talks about lowering the tariff to let
them come in; and they are the very
kinds OF goods that our people want
II we take them in large amounts
there VIII be no need for premium on
gold in London and Paris, and our wheat
will bring full value.
Did you ever see the tariff in this light
before2
