TIE PFoPLE ~ THE MOVEMENT.

San Francisco ought TO contain at this
moment 600,0o0 people, and the State of
California should contain from two to two
and a half millions of people. With even a
moderate amount of liberality on the part
Of the managers Of the Central and South
ern Pacific Railroad companies this would
have been the case, and our citizens. instead
Of complaining Of hard times and that the
wealth Of the State was drifting into the
hands Of a few persons, would have been
prosperous. California has every element
of wealth. She has healthy climate, a
fertile soil and great mineral wealth. She
has also an enteTpTising population, al
though L Elstern people now seem 10 doubt
It. Every portion Of the Union has pros
IeTed during the past 20 years except this
city and State. The whole country has
made rapid bounds in advance, but CaIifor-
MA has stood still Even our northern
neigbboTs have outstripped US. for cities
and towns have grown gp in Oregon and
Washington, and those two States have
gained immensely in population. Why is il
that the favored territory has been held
back? Why Is it that people favored with the
first railroad across the country have fallen
behind in the race Of prosperity? The Gen.
ersl Government furnished the means to
build our railroads, hence il was supposed
San Francisco and the State of California
would have made rapid advances. There is
not a person in California Of ordinary intel
ligenee who does not realize that we have
been plundered by a rapacious set Of men.
For upward of twenty years we have had
railroad connections with the Eastern States,
but what has it ayailed to us? We have
had men guarding the approaches to the
city, both by water and by land. Not a
pound of freight could go or come which
did not pay an eXorbitant tribute TO half a
dozen men and their favorites. Indeed the
whole State has turned over nearly all of its
earnings to men who do not seem to have
had any conscience, for they have not only
plundeTed US for their own benefit but they
have fo5tered class of men who have de-
bauched the politics of the State and robbed
Us in various ways, rendering the punish
ment of crime and suits at law uncertain.
IL our citizens have not the capacity to free
themselves from such denominations as they
have endured for few years past they
should be pitied, for living under such a rule
as Stanford and Huntington have given US
is worse than living under the rule Of any
constitutional monarchy under heaven.

THIRTY-TW YEARS OF PROTEC-
IIOk.

Statistics covering the period show that the
net result of thirtY-two years of protection
has doubled the value OF labor. The wage
Garner actually receives $50 for 500 in
1860, and the purchasing power Of his $50
has so increased that it viii buy about
twice as much as SIo0 would buy in 1860.
The calculations which record this result
are based upon census reports and prices
current Certain articles il common use
were doubtless cheaper in 1860 than at
present, but taking into account the arti-
cles that are now part of the average
workingman's expenses. the result is as
stated above. In these days of general
voting DO party can make headway against
such showing. Party prejudice is some
times strong, but not often strong enough
TO induce a man TO reduce his own earnings
When the Democrats abandoned tariff re-
form, declaring that the protection of
American labor was unconstitutional, they
threw away their only chance of success.
The American people will never place in
power party that proposes to undo the
grand work Of the past thirty years.

SOME OTHER PLACE.

The New York World practically con-
eedes New York to the Republicans. 1t is
apparently convinced that there is better
chance OF success in some other place than
In New York. This admission is the more
important IN view Of the fact tbat nomina-
tions were made in the interest of New
York and New England. II it had been
known in June that the battlefield would be
in the West New York gold bug would
not have been placed on the head OF the
Democratic ticket. When party is losing
ground IL imagines its strength TO be in some
other place. In the West they say Cleye-
land is strong in New York and in New
England. Knowing how weak he is in that
section, the New York and New England
Democrats console themselves with the
hope that he is strong in the West. In
fact. the party is strong only in the South
No one would be surprised If Mr.. Cleveland
should iail to carry a single Northern State.

WHY BARBER EDSEN MOURNS.
Lofty Rent for n Little Room and n,
Signs Allowed.

Lofty Rent for Little Room and No
Signs Allowed.
A sad-eyed tonsorial artist paced up and
down the corridors of the Croeker bniIding
yesterday and alternately gazed upon a lease
for the apartments he occupies in that
milIion-dollar block and swore, not loud but
deep.
Ii seems that the topsorial artist. whose
name is Carl Edsen, recently leased room
on the second floor of the CrOcker building
and fitted 1t up as barber-shop. The room
IS little one, but the rent asked for it is
large enough to satisfy anybody.
Edsen fitted up his high-priced shop in the
latest style of modern art. He spent small
fortune on chairs. mugs, rugs and other
fixtures. and as climax to the gorgeousuess
OF his shavng-parlor he had a magnificent
barber-pole painted.
The pole was about 10 feet long. and the
red. white and blue stripes were as brilliant
as paint could make them. Yesterday
morning Edsen flung the pole to the
breeze" from the Post-street window of his
shop and went downstairs TO admire the
effect AS he stood on the sidewalk gazing
up at his magnificent sign, one of the
agents OF the building came rushing up and
ordered the pole taken down. Edsen de-
INJURED, but the agent insisted.
Did the barber suppose they were going
to have million-dollar, yellow brick. iron
girdered and marble-trmmed building, with
gilt and sky blue ceilings, defaced by a bar
per pole? Not much. That pole comes
down." And il did.
And that is why Edsen is sad. The rent
must be paid, and the extra shaves, sham
poOs and haircuts that pole was design ed to
bring to bis palatial shop will go elsewhere.
simply because there IS no visible sign to
guide the customers 10 his place
Edsen proposes TO try again. This time
he will put pole in the hallway of the
building, and it will be such a pole as will
meet with the requirements, in an artistic
sense, OF the agents. If the new pole
comes down then Edsen goes out

"How AMEKICANs AXE ROBBED. :.

Our free-trade contemporary tells its read
ers how Americans are robbed by the pres
ent tariff act. The act of robbery is
committed in some foreign country. An
American manufacturer. desirous of ex-
tending his market, offers articles Of manu-
factnre in some foreign country at less than
the home price. Ia some cases the article
thus offered Is covered by a patent at home
which does not extend TO its manufacture
abroad. Many of the large fortunes that
have been made in this country in the man.
ufacturing business in the last thirty years
were the result of working under improved
processes which were not available TO other
manufacturers. Before the American pat
ents on ceT.ain kinds of sewing ma Zines
expired such machines could generally be
bought cheaper abroad than at home.
Again, there is such thing as expending
money TO open a new market. Manufactur-
ers and merchants who have adopted this

THE STAMP LARCENY.
The Trial Of Michael Moon Results I'm

Disagreement of the Jury.
Michael Moon, who was arrested in COM
pany with George johnson, on a charge of
breaking into a store at Clay, Sacramento
County, On June % 1892, and stealing from
the safe Of the postoffiee in the store stamps
valued at $50. was yesterday placed on trial
before Judge Morrow and n jury. The evil
deuce tended To show that the safe was
broken into, the envelope containing the
stamps removed, and that Moon and john
son were found next morning in Sacramento
trading off the stamps for drinks aud cloth
ing. The defense was that the defendant
found the envelope IN the road. aud after
taking out the stamps DESTROYED the en-
yelope. He also claimed that where the
envelope was found a wagon wheel had
passed over it. The prosecution laid great
stress on the circumstance that the mucilage
on the stamps had not been broken. The
jury returned at 3:20 p. M. with the an
nOuncement that they had been unable 10
agree. They were again sent out at
O'Clock and returned at 6 :35 in the condi-
ton OF disagreement and were discharged

On tie contrary, the evidence of public
spirit thus shown has been extolled. Mr..
A. L. Hatch sent cargo of fruit TO
England. Most Of il sold below the Ameri-

a cargo every few days, until he has satis-
fed himself that the London price cannot
lie raised to the American standard. But
our contemporary would reason that Ameri-
cans were being robbed when Londoners
could eat American fruit at less than Amer
lean prices. And it would doubtless charge
