will work for what he can get. When there
are more workers than employers the latter
fix the standard of wages. To quote our
correspondents words: suppose the tarlH
was lowered, the manufacturer would be
compelled to lower wages; then general
strike would follow, and while the manu-
facturers and workmen are battling over
wages the Importers would flood the coun-
try with foreign manufactured wares or
goods, and if ever the workmen did come TO
terms with the manufacturers there would
be SO much foreign goods in the country that
il would take twenty-five years to sell them
off. Why do Europeans of all mathematics
leave their homes for the United States i?
Simply because they can earn more money
in this country than at home. Take OIL the
duties on foreign goods and they could work
at home to supply our markets. These are
some of the reasons why am Republican

goods are good enough for me.

BETRAY AND RUIN.

The Chronicle talks wildly in double
loaded columns about Republicans who
have "manifestly taken a contract to betray
and ruin the Republican party in California
this year" The conspiracy is between
Kelly, Crimmins g. Co. Republicans look
with regret upon the waning prospect of
electing Republican Legislature this year.
They know exactly where to find the cause
Of such waning prospect Two years ago
California was about the only November
State that stood firm on the Republican plat
form Of 1888. In the East Republican States
went over to the Democrats or greatly
reduced their Republican majorities. In
California alone the Republicans increased
their majority. The Legislature was Repub-
lican and Republican United States Sen
ator was elected in place of the late Senator
Hearst. Why should there be any doubt
about California now? Why should the
apprehension exist that while the State
may be held stanch TO the national ticket
the Republicans will lose the Legislature,
and with it one il not two United States
Senators. Simply because a person leagued

SHALL FRAUD PREVAIL?

1t is pretty well understood that desperate
efforts are being made by an element In this
city to perpetuate the rule of class of per-
sons, some of whom will not hesitate to
stuff ballot-boXes or to secure fraudulent
votes in order to accomplish their purposes.
Not less than half a million dollars has
been filched from the inhabitants of this
city annually for some years past, to which
the parties concerned were not entitled.
In a word, this half a million dollars has
been taken in various ways which the pub
lie do not regard as much better than abso-
lutte theft The CALL would like to believe
that such was not the case, but circum-
stances are continually transpiring which
force the conviction that we are dealing
with men who are willing TO resort to the
most disrepntable means in order to retain
control over the finances of the city. Are
any OF our citizens so ignorant of what has
been taking place In the past as to doubt
the correctness OF the conclusions arrived
at? III so they should take some pains TO
inform themselves as to the meaning of the
frantic efforts which are being made to
register the names OF men who are not en-
titled to vote. 1t is not good indication
when the dsreputable element manages.

who uniformly betray the people: nor

Charles UhlmanD, who was arrested
Wednesday for compelling his young daugh-

When the case was called in Department
