WHAT LEON SAY DID.

Leon Say, the great French fnancier. is
reported as saying that the American dele
gates TO the Brussels Conference appeared to
be without definite proposals. If the Amer
can delegates are without definite proposals
1t is because they have withheld their plan
That other plans might be considered. Del
egate McCreary came out openly for the
unrestricted coinage of gold and silver into
debt paying power. on the International
ratio OF 155a or is to 1. There was no
condition attached to that declaration. The
American delegates have shown a disposi.
ton TO accept what they could get in the
hope that any agreement looking to the
greater use Of silver would ultimately lead
to bimeiallism. II is becoming pretty clear
that there is no one in the conference except
the American delegates who Is really in
earnest. The English delegates frankly
admit that they will not give a proposition
to change the financial standard in that
country any consideration. They are mono
metallists FIRST last and ell the time. The

PACIFIC COAST CATTLE TRADE,

Operations have been commenced at the
Baden abattors. Steers. sheep and pigs
are 10 be slaughtered on the economic
methods so long followed with extraordi-
nary success at Chicago, ST. Louis and Kan
saS City. No better methods are known or
have been invented in Strengthening, with
the result that every portion of the animal
is utilized. 1t is quite clear that abattoirs
on the Chicago plan offer remunerative en-
ployment for a considerable amount of
capital on this coast. California certainly
has wide range for experiment and good
facilities by sea for shipment Hams and
canned meats can go round the Horn and
be sure of market--just as sure as ship
ments from Chicago. Probably Oregon
and Washington will start o ackng abat-
toirs on their own account The grazing
lands of California have not been utilized
to tenth of the ex tent they can be. With
the feeding of cattle, sheep and pigs on
corn, wheat and grasses and large export
trade in meat new era of prosperity is
possible for the farmer, always provided
he is not ground down, as he has usually
been, BY exactions Of TRANSPORTATION. 1t is
impossible that cattle rancher here should
deliver his cattle by rail at Kansas City or
Chicago and leave him profit; but there
is no insurmoun table reason why the
farmer. as far north as Siskiyou and as far
south as the Mexican border, should not be
able to forward prime cattle to the packing
houses On San Francisco Bay. Farmers
have a new direction for their talents
Pigs, al least, may be reared everywhere
and at very moderate cost. AS long as the
consumption is only local there is little
scope. but the packer provides an outlet
for Unlimited Quantities by exporting to
countries Which cannot provide enough of
meat for themselves. 1t is quite time that
California took its share in this trade, aud
the foundations have been laid for it.
The morning call., 1892-12-09
SUGAR DUTIES.

Mr.. Harter Of Ohio has introduced a bill
providing that after February next duty
of one-half a cent pound shall be levied on
all grades of imported sugar. This bin Is
in the exact line of revenue tariff. 1t will
doubtless be succeeded sooner or later by a
bill to impose duties on tea and coffee The
Democratic idea is to collect revenue from
articles that we nece ssarily import. and to
relieve as much as possible articles that
We make in competition with fore gners.
If Harter's bill becomes a law, families
who have been buying granulated sugar at
twenty pounds for n dollar will get seven
teen or eighteen pounds for the same
amount of money. There is not and never
will be under this small duty, sugar enough
produced in the United States to materially
affect tile selling price. Congress should
meet early, pass Harter's bll, and co a
little more Of the same lind of work.

Traffic Manager Leeds has been a good
deal more than a match for the Railroad
Commissioners. He has not volunteered
evidence on the Shiyely complaint He
has allowed the Commissioners and the at
torneys to put questions as they please,
and all concerned have been very shy in
pressing home the threads of investigation.
This method OF giving testimony has MANY
advantages of strategy. You cannot put
questions without revealing the tupn of
mind which invests yourself. Mr. Leeds is
anxious to give information, bat is, of
course, not anxious TO betray himself and
his own conclusions. His tactics check.

was reported about a year ago that Judge
Gresham sentenced a railroad official to
prison for refusing to testify on the ground
that his testimony would tend to criminate
himself. The Supreme Court interfered to
save the official from prison. but, if we re-
member right, it did not decide that railroad
officials might consult their own interests in
determining what testimony they should
give and what withhold. Judge Gresham
has given so many sound decisions that he
is entitled TO full hearing before the con-
clusion is reached that he has administered
fatal blow to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. OF course commission that
cannot compel the attendance and testimony
Of witnesses cannot be of much service.

adjournment Of the conference without an
agreement will throw great responsibility
upon the American Congress. Is the United
States to be dragged into recommendation by
England and Germany? Are we TO submit
to a policy which, in our opinion, must
shortly involve a financial crisis? If wa re-
fuse 10 accept the European policy what is
our remedy? How shall we escape it ?

FACTS WORTH KNOWING.

The CALL has had San Francisco care
fully canvassed in order to learn what city
morning newspapers were taken by the
people. The result is that THE CALL cir
cuiates fully one-fourth more copies than
any other paper. THE CALL circulation
leads by fully one-Quarter. The Chronicle
comes next after THE CALL and leads the
Examiner. The above facts show why THE
