When we can get away from politics
there are some things to commend In this
city. Private enterprise does build itself
credit. Lately we had q discussion on the
finest business premises and the finest pri-
vate residences In the city. The criticisms
were all taken from the spectators point of
view, not inside the building. but looking
at IL from favorable angle in street. AS
far as that went the criticisms were sound.
One building on the corner OF Sansome and
California streets, very tall Insurance
building, has features OF majesty and ele-
gance from one aspect, but from three other
aspects it Is only designation. Time and
the accretion OF other buildings may rectify
defects. but for the present the unfinished
aspect leaves art in the rear. The building
is part of plan, and the perfected plan has
TO come with capital behind. The new
building of the German Savings and Loan
Society on California street has one of the
most handsome facadeS OF any structure in
the city. 1t is solid, ornamental and taste
full architecturally-a credit to both mason
and architect.
1-cent postage for half-ounce letter
would b, great advantage to this country.
provided the postal service can be made
self-sustaining. Probably general reduc-
ton 10 i cent for both town and country
would result in greatly Increased revenue,
and the receipts would be compensatory for
Increase of staff. 1t is the old argument of
the penny postage in England. When intro
dneed people feared calamtties. They never
arrived. Ocean penny postage is nov advo-
Gated. Calamties are again feared. They
will never arrive. If we venture our repu-
iati0n upon 1-pent postage, the thunder
cloud of destruction will still be absent.
Perhaps in time we may come TO haif-ceDt
hostage and be contented. The worlds
business grows enormously with every
facility to speak by letter or telegraph.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.

II is 10 be hoped that Mr. Cleveland will
read attentiyely the portion of President
Harrison's message which refers to the
Canadian proposition of reciprocity. The
President says the conference developed
the fact that the Canadian Government was
only prepared TO offer to the United States
in exchange for concessions asked the adj
mission Of American natural products into
Canada. The Commissioners admitted that
the concession this country asked in the
way of favored rates on manufactured
products could not be allowed to the United
States against the mother country. This
admission. the President says. necessarily
terminated the conference. When Mr..
Cleveland becomes President the attempt
on the part of Canada to allow free inter-
change of natural products will doubtless be

MR.. SAGE'S PLANT.
He Represents Very Limited Con-
stituency.


/. II. Sage, WHO is book keeper for a
gauger. has been writing letters which
have been given some publicity and in
which he figures rs the secretary OF what
he calls tue Mereha nts' Committee.
In these letters Sage claims that his
committee is made up of dissatisfied men,
bers of the Traffic Association, who desire
that the organization take more active
part in making San Francisco the sole dis
tributiag point for California and that IL
devote less time and energy to political
measures.
Traffic Manager Leeds saws he has never
heard of the man who wrote these letters
and knows nothing OF merchants CON-
miitee.
lie stated yesterday that no communica-
tion whatever from any members Of the
association Is on file in which they, singiy
or Jointly, ask for any change OF policy.
The letters OF Mr.. Sage also imply that
The Traffic Association has neglected to ask
the Southern Pacific Company for relief
measures.
MIR. Leeds most emphatically denounees
the statement as false, and adds that IL is
weiiknown fact that a number of COM
munications sent TO the Southern Pacific
Company by the executive committee of the
association have remained unanswered, and
that his personal calls at Fourth and
Townsend streets had no results.
There is no divided sentiment in the
Traffic Association" said Mr.. Leeds yester.
day, land Sage is. in my opinion, only a
hgurehrad, who is probably made use of
by man who was defeated as a member Of
The executive committee at the last election.
and has been anxious To rush into print
with letters, which he considers may dam.

In the opinion or Mr.. Leeds there are
many who signed the document. expressing
dissatisfaction. the unknown letter writer

that it was circniar issued by the Traffic
Association instead CT being The plant of

THE PosToFPIcE DEPARTMENT.

PoStma ster-General Wanamaker's report
shows that department to be In hsalthfui
condition. The gross revenue has been in
creased S5.000.o00 in the year, and the de-
felt has been reduced s1,0ooO0O. Many i'm
provements have during the time been made
in the service. New mail routes have been
established, and the free delivery system
extended on old routes. The reduction of
the postage 10 one cent is q near possibility.
One of the changes the Postmaster General
proposes is the discontinuance of Offices
that produce DO revenue for the department.
and the substitution of an automatic stamp
selling machine, and letter-box to receive
mail. He thinks the department might dis
pense with the service of q, 600 small Offices
with the attendant small postmaster. The
plan paTtakes somewhat of the character OF
a nickel in the slot in the place OF an active
an0 sometimes noisy newsbOy.

EXTRA SESSION TALK.

The free-trade wing OF the Democratic
party favOrs an extra session, while the
moderately protective wing thinks the
country can wait for tariff reform until
Congress meets in December, 1893 Mr..
Cleveland, true to his political instincts,
takes a middle course between the two
wings. He wants tariff reform to take the
direction of free trade. bnt Is inclined to
put off the first step as long as possible.
The present outlook is that the radical
wing will win. They say that il tariff re-
form is coed thing in itself there is no
sense in putting of the enjoyment of it
longer than need be. They know that
nothing can be done until after the 4th
of March, but they are restless under the
proposition to walt until the following De-
ceinber. If the change must come, perhaps
the sooner the better Nothing but prac-
teal experience will convince the radicals
that free trade is not the natural solution Of
all the problems of political economy.
The morning call., 1892-12-07

A my sterious address has seen the light,
signed by the secretary OF body purport-
ing to be a merchants committee. These
merchants are described as members Of the
Traffic Associat ion. Names are not given.
the secretary is not to be found. But the
object of the address Is hostile to the Traffic
Association. 1t Indicates Cave of Adnl-
lam. and the members. il such, may be
styled Adallamites. The term may cause
people who have long neglected their Bibles
to study the old Hebraic story. 1t was
once studied in he English House of Com
mons after memorable speech by John
Bright. Whatever the device Is intended to
realize there Is no question that the mer-
chants OF California must stand together on
transportation questions. That Is the reason
for existence of the Traffic Association. IL
the one and only railroad company 10 this
State can break up the Traffic Association
leagued body OF merchants-then fare
well to any release from the tolls for years to
come. But IL self-nterest has any vitality
the railroad will not prevail.
The Monetary Conference seems to have
broken down, at least on the Rolhschild
proposal Therefore speculation is be-
wildPred and wild on the buying and hold
ing OF silver. There was sharp fall yester-
day in the price of silver upon the news
spreading abroad that Rothsehild's pro-
posal had goneI by the board. How the
conference will end nobody can predict
with certainty. A horserace is almost as
certain. But it is a consolation that the
worlds transactions in actual business, the
exchange of commodities, more and more
trend toward balance by themselves.
Only the difference is accounted for in coin,
and very little coin goes long way in
squaring up the equation Of days profits,
even on great scale. Railroads and banks
