The general downward mo

The general downward movement,
marked by an occasional advance on som
articles, faithfully reflects the influence Of
protection on prices.
Comparing prices of the present year
with those of 1889, before the new tariff
was enacted. we find that three of six
items have declined, one has not changed
and two show a slight advance. This,
again, is probably fair index of real Nc
Kinley prices There is no warrant any
where for the extIavagant assertions about
advancing prices on all the necessaries Of
life which the free-trader was making a
year ago. Only imported necessaries y
are now cited as being higher in price.

The Flyers VIII Start East Tomorrow
Out of the Spring Meeting.
Matt Storm. the we'll known Sacramento
horseman, was in town Saturday and
yesterday morning looking after his
string of runners. He has ten of them
at Agricultural Park now in the best of
condition. Many lovers Of racing will
regret to learn that Mr.. Storm has decided
not to start any of his horses in the COM
ing spring races. On the contrary, he
starts East with them tomorrow, taking
them in his special car. His first stop
ping place will be Denver, where his
horses will resume training, so as to
open with the big meeting there in June.
When this meeting Is over Mr.. Storm
will proceed to Chicago, and then 10 all
the big Eastern race-courscs. His idea
in starting out so early this year is that
his flyers may become acclimated in
time for the opening of the racing sea-
son. Last year he lost some two weeks
racing by arriving late and his horses
not getting in condition.
Mr.. Storm takes some first-class rum
ners with him, including the imported
Australian stallion Merriwa he recently
purchased at lofty figure Last year
this genial horseman gathered up some
$50 900 odd over and above expense on
the Eastern circuit, and he hopes to do as
well, if not better, this year.

PHIL ARMOUR,S START.
The First Hundred Dollars That He
Mined Near Folsom.

The First Hundred Dollars That He
Mined Near Folsom.
"a great many of our readers" SAYS
the Folsom Telegraph, will be surprised
to learn that Phil A Armour, the great stock
man. was one Of the first settlers of Fol
som, and made the beginning of his
fortune in these parts. Armour came to
Folsom in early times, and, of course, fol-
lowed mining for living. He procured
an outfit, and went to the digglngs about
six or seven miles from here, and at regu-
lar intervals came TO town to sell his dust.
In those days Armour was badly in need
OF money, and was hard up on many oc-
casiOnS. Now he has all he wants and
cares but little ior it. Armour had very
poor luck in the beginning of his mining
career, but finally he managed TO get
soine washings that he sold for hundred
dollars. This sum he carefully tied up
in an old cotton handkerchief for safe
keeping. Then he hunted around for
Dlace to put it. His eyes Spied an old and
dilapidated coffee-pot in the corner of the
cabin he occupied with three other seek
ers for fortune. He put the one hundred
dollars carefully in it, and placed it on
convenient shelf. Then he went out to
the mine TO work.
'.When he returned TO the cabin his eve
instinctively searched for the old pot but
il was gone. One OF his partners had
tired of work and returned home He
had nothing else to do, so he went clean
ing house The old coffee-pot went with
the rubbish, and fire was made of it all
in little clump of bushes near by. Great
consternation prevailed. when Armour
told what the pot contained. No time was
lost nv him in scattering the remains of
tbe fire to secure the cohee-pot. The pot
was found. blackened aud bent. and the
money was all there. No happier man

that was afloat in the eastern suburbs of
