ANOTHER COPPER TRUST.
Producers Have Agreed to Restrict Pro-
duction After July 1.

Producers Have Agreed To Restrict Pro-
duction After July 1.
The New York Daily Commercial Bull
letin of June IS says: AFTER a long pc
Rod of negotiation the producers of cop
per i'll Europe and the United States
have arrived at an agreement to restrict
production after July | next. The Ameri-
can producers have agreed to restrict
their exports Of copper to Europe, in con
sideration for which the Spanish produ-
GERS have pledged themselves to cut
down their production ) per cent. The
object of this agreement is of course to
bring about a higher level of prices"
Whether or not the producers can sue

back where they We're during the exist.
ence of the great copper combine in
1889, it is certain that there has been
left for them "a duty of "a cents per
pound, which was about all Mckinley
could do to invite another copper trust To-
repeat the outrage perpctrated in 1888
upon the American people. 1t will b.
remembered that in lSS9the copper trust
sold American copper so much cheaper
in Europe that 1t was reimp"rted and
sold at Il profit here after paying a duty
Of four cents per pound, and from April
to August, 1883, the foreign price never
exceeded eight cents and the domestic
price was never less than twelve cents
But for the duty NJ such difference coull
have existed and the effects of the French
syndicate upon our industries would have
been as slight as they We're upon Europe
an industries.
The effect of high prices for raw ma.
terial- of any kind is farreaching AM
disastrous. How the consumers of cop.
per We're affected by the high prices of
1883 is described by james Powell, presi.
dent Of the Union Brass company, of
Cincinnati, in The Engineering am
Mining journal Of Jan. -, 1850:
when the syndicate began bras
workers all over the country wer" fully
employed at good wages, and while the
demand for goods may not have beef.
kept up at all times with the same vigor,
yet the price of the raw material wa
such As to afford a living profit to the
copper producer only.
THE consumption of brass goods f.,
steam. water and gas has fallen off from
p to 40 per cent, with no immediate
prospect of an improvement. The ma,
nipulations Of the combine have been TIL
most disastrous calamity for the general
copper consuming industries of tti-
country that has ever b~efallpn them"
Al evidence that the American end o.:
this agreement" is made in good faith
it is reported from Marquette. Mich.
that a general strike is imminent at tn.
great Calumet and Hccla copper mine.
The company instead of acknowledges.
openly that they intend to restrict pro
d!uction by closing the mine, a,m!unc"
that they will discharge all employee
who are members Of the Knights 81
Labor of any other labor organizations.
They know that this will not only pre-,
cipitate Il long struggle that will restrict
production. hut it will give them an op-
p%ortunity to utilize cheap ''scab' lahu,
when they are ready to resume opera
tons. and perhaps to starve solhe of TIL
strikers into accepting lower wages.

A New Wagon Road.

The proposed wagon road from the
terminus of the Kali road at Barker into
the Judith basin is now in fair way Of
being carried out. From Great Falls to
the nearest town in the Judith by the
present Travelled road is from GO to G5
miles, while the distance from Barker to
such towns by the proposed new road is
only 70 to - miles. Thus practically
shortening the distance between this city
and the popular and prosperous Judith
valley by at least 40 miles and insuring
to Great Falls "a large share of the trade
of that section. Meaghed Co: has agreed
to construct the road from Barker to the
divide on the Blankenship pass. The
amount necessary to complete the road
from that point an to the Judith valley
it is proposed to raise by subscription.
Ill. II. Chandler is now soliciting contri
buttons to this road fund. Every mer-
chant and business man who realizes the
importance of this road and the benefit
it will prove to him and to the city gen
orally cannot fail to contribute literally
toward this enterprise.

AN OLD, OLD STORY.
The Southern Pacific Refuses to
Pay Its Taxes.

One year ago yesterday the city and
county Of San Francisco brought suit
against the Southern Pacific Company TO
recover S1363 10 taxes due the city and
county for 1887, and S722 SO due the State
for taxes for the same year. The complaint
alleged that the company owns property in
this State, which is. worth SIG, 100000, and
that the amounts demanded are justly
owed the city and State on its tracks, etc,
in this county.
The company filed its demurrer to the
complaint yesterday. The company AYERS
that the sections Of the Political Code under
which its property was assessed are uncOn-
stitutiOnal and void, and in contrayentiOn
Of subdivisions 3. 10 and % Of Section % Of
Article " of the State Constitution, which
prohibits special legislation; that they are
in cOntTaYentiOn Of the Constitution in that
burdens are placed upon a railroad operat-
ing In two or more counties which are not
placed upon a railroad operating in but one
county.
The company further claims that the
provisions of the code under which the road
was assessed are in cOntravedtiOn OF Section
! OF the fourteenth amendment of the Con-
stitution Of the United States, in this that
by their provisions it is deprived of and de-
MED the equal protection of the law.

CLEMENS CONTEMPT,
Judge Murphy Continued the Case
Another Week.

Judge Murphy week ago postponed to
yesterday his action in regard to Will S.
Clemens, whom he had cited to appear be-
fore him for contempt. When the case was
called yesterday, Mr. Swift, after stating
that Clemens had not used the language
attributed to him by Shllwell, to the effect
that he could prove that Judge Murphy had
received $4,000 for railroading Sidney Bell
to the gallows asked leave to withdraw
from the contempt proceedings.
After Mr. Swift had Withdrawn the rea-
son for his course appeared. The Free
Press Defense League had engaged the Sery-
ices of Attorney II. w. PhilbroOk to defend
Clemens and to test the right of the court
to punish fer contempt any person alleged
to have used such offensive language as is
charged to Clemens
When it came Mr. PhilbroOks turn to be
heard he simply filed demurrer based on
three grounds: First, that the affidavit
failed to state facts sufficient to show that
said win NJ. Clemens is guilty of any pub
lie offense; second, that it does not state
facts sufficient to show that Clemens is
guilty of any contempt Of said court aud
third that the court has no jurisdiction Of
the subject.
Mr. PhilbrOOk asked time to make an
argument on the demurrer and he was given
until 10 O'Clock Saturday morning.

BY THE WAY.
These Are RambIer's Notes on
Things in General.
Specially written for The SUNDAY CALL.


Lawyers abound in San Francisco, and
their existence. if not their general pros
perity, is eXplainable by the notorious fact
that litigation is a never-ending chaos and
that there is always a crop Of fresh cases
spTouting, while crops Of ancient growth
are ripeniug or are being reaped and gar
nered, very seldom TO the peCuniary disad-
vantage Of the legal profession. The crime
diagram is also rather powerfully shaded,
and provided tile criminal has money or
friends with money it is generally found TO
be quite in harmony with the law and the
smooth flow Of justice that there should be
numerous DOstpOnements and leaves given
for new trials, affording other opportunities
for pOstpOnements in addition to the COM
piCationS Of jury hunting and the endless
ways in which motions may be put forward
to delay or expedite procedure. The endless
chain Of agreement that circles around the
Constitution as last resort Of forensic hair
splitting. when every other plea fails, is
never rusty. So far may the process OF
bambOozlement be carried that some en-
thusiastic lawyer viii one day contend, with
out astonishing the court. that there may be
some mitigating circumstances in the fact
that the murdered man for whose death his
client is aTraigned was alive recently. we II
knowing that his client was also aliyC-a
condition Of things quite incompatible W it'll
the promotion Of human happiness, as un .
derstood to be desirable under the ConstItu- =
ton. Pleas nearly as absurd have been
raised.
Every prosperous lawyer, and we may
hope every respectable lawyer-the terms
are not synOnym0us-Owns a ranch. He
may not farm it probably. but at all events
he has 1t, and there is smack Of COase-
Quence in speaking Of my ranch" The
mortgages are probably light on this rural
eysium. 1t is only the farmer who is not a
lawyer who has these membranes light
ing his industry down like an invasion OF
grasshOppers. The farmer cannot help
himself sometimes. and the lawyer need not
take blame fer his own prosperity. If peo-
pie will get into litigation and will plunge
into crime they must bring their goods and
chattels To their deiyerer, and his share Is
as modest as professional honor and a
humble opinion of his own services will per-
nit him to take. Besides he knows that no.
body goes 10 lawyer unless he wants lin.
There is so much deprayity in human
nature that he is constantly wanted, and
the client, according to etiquette not UNI
known, is blandly assured that he has a very
good case. So he discovers. 1t would be
slanderous 10 say that the litigants get the
shells and the lawyers the oyster, but this
Is the result sometimes. Justice is repre-
sented as blind. A very proper artistic con-
ceptlUnl
