THE DAME ERS.

Our neigbbors of the Chronicle 90 not
appear 10 like tie views of THE CALL
respecting the free coinage of silver. OF
course not, for The CALL does not adyo-
cate the free coinage of silver while there is
such wide difference q value between the
two metals-about 80 per cent The AIicv
adopted by the Government has thus far
worked well, and If continued will ulti-
mately give the United States sound
financial basis. THE CALL considers the
idea OF turning our mnts over to the coin
age OF silver for private persons free OF
charge. making that coinage legal tender
equally with gold, as fraught with dangers
to California at this time 1t believes that
silver coined under such circumstances
would cause gold to rise to a considerable
premium, or what's the same thing, silver
coin would decline in value. There is
nothing in the bill as it passed the Senate
which would hinder the inhabitants OF this
State from using gold precisely as we did in
war times, on special contracts, but silver
we should~be compelled TO accept in small
transactions. The discount on silver. ae
eordIng 10 present values, would be at such
an excessive figure as TO prove ruinous
TO business. Silver as it now stands, unless
it were kept UP by the credit Of the Govern
ment, would be at discount of some 30
per cent The more critically the free
coinage of silver is considered, the more
dangerous does the project appear for Cali
fOrnia

TARIFF BENEFITS.
New York ITOrId saws.

The New York U'orld says:
The American laborer does not receive the
taIin bounty. The average tar III tax Is 4s per
cent, and The average labor cost In manufactured
articles Is about % per cent.
There is no tariff bounty For variety
OF reasons The cost Of producing most kinds
OF manufactured goods is greater in this
country than in Europe. Duties are laid ON
foreign goods to equaize the cost. All
persons concerned in the manufacturing
business. all producers of agricultural prod-
uets share in the benefits resulting from
the establishment and maintenance of
home industries. The laborer in factory
becomes consumer Of farmers product.
Ills value as customer depends largely
upon the rate Of his wages AS a laborer
cannot spend more than he can earn. his
power to purchase depends upon his ability
as wage-earBer. Duties average the
World says, 46 per cent while the average
labor cost in manufactured articles is about
% per cent. There is nothing produced in
this country the labor cost of which does
not exceed % per cent. The IForId prob
ably falls into the premeditated error of
CHASING material at some stage as raw
and not counting The labor cost of the
material at that stage. Pig iron is the raw

aBE rnIRD PARTY NoMINArIoNs.


The third party has fallen under the con-
trol Of its most extreme leaders. While its
platform contains planks that may il the
near future be Incorporated into Repub-
liean platforms, there are other planks
which mature consideration will induce
even the third party to drop. The sub-treas-
ury scheme is impracticable. On this point
taere are no two opinions among men Of
deliberate thought and action Judge
Gresham, who viii 90 as far as any really
comprehensive mind can in curbing the
aggression Of the money power, stops alb
Tuptly at a proposition to issue fiat money.
M0rey must have an intrinsic value. If a
thing be declared money which costs moth
ing, only little time would be required to
make money 50 plentiful that it would be
as cumbrous as the thing it was invented
to buy. 1t seems to us therefore that the
third party, with its exalted aims and pur-
poses, will fail to accomplish anything
through an attempt to accomplish too
much. Il has not got the right heads at
the head Of it.
THE CALL has already intimated that in
the course of Inc next four years the Re-
publican party viii make rapid strides
toward a policy in the interests Of the
people We may almost say il is that OF
death. Tie tariff issue Will hardly carry
tie party through another campaign after
the present. The silver problem may be
solved bg the appreciation OF silver to
parity With geld. BIT the corporations

purpose aud named Judges to eoustrus

main. Ihas lhe next great national issue

TO law seems to US a political necessity.
The third party meantime will serve a use
ful purpose. 1t will rivet public attention
to abuses of power which it was formed to
correct There are certain principles under
lying government which should not be lost
sight Of The impartiality of the Govern
ment toward all classes of people should
be maintained al all hazards. a favored
class cannot be put down by building up
another favored class to oppose it. The
enthusiastic reformer who msgnifies evils
in existing government serves good pur-
pose, but he rarely aecomplishes setisfac-
tory results. Corporations and organiz-
atoms in the form of trusts or combinations
constitute to-day the principal menace 10
our republican institutions. But they must
be controlled and subordinated to law by
lawful methods

nearly all labor. The owner Of an orchard
who should estimate the labor cost OF pro-
ducing fruit by the cost OF picking might
claim that the labor rate of raising fruit
Vas only % per cent. That is. he might sell
for a dollar the fruit that he could hire
picked for 90 cents. But What was the labor
cost of planting and tilling the orchard
1t takes about five years to convert land
into orchard. The cost is from SO to $50
an acre each year. What are the items OF
this cost? Any oychsrdst will reply mat
almost the whole cost is for labor Inc
orchardst may have done the work hlmseii,
but the fact does not change results. Ihe
46 per cent which our New ork eontem-
porary finds to be the average tarIn duties
does not cover the labor cost OF any kind
of product from tie construction of a steam
ship to the making of a broom. The labor
in the raw material is in all cases the prln-
cipal item of cost in such material.

Annie Graham the actress, who was we'll
known here in the pallny days of the Cali
fornia Theater, passed through the city

Frank Gardiner, her re reant husband. WIN

news that the rose crops have failed on ac-
count OF frosts and heavy rains. This
means a serious injury to the market In per-
fumes. There will be scarcity and conse-
ouently higher price for the floral crop OF
odors that survives calamity. Among the
many industries of California perfume
making should not be left out OF copsidera-
tion. Our climate is truly idealistic for
this industry, for we are not much stricken
by tempests. and sunshine is even trifie
too abundant. With just a little attention
TO management we could beat the world in
producing every kind Of perfume that
comes from flower, and certainly in roses
we might put all competition to rOut. But
the achievement will not be brought about
by abstract cogitation. Both capital and
practical application are needed.
1t is said that Beaconsiield's investment of
four millions sterling in the Suez canal has
now value of 10 millions sterling. As the
canal constantly pays mighty dividend,
which it is difficult to keep low enough SO
as 10 avoid the suspicion of exactiop. this
remarkable increase is not illusion. When
the Nicaragua canal is finished there will,
however, he a change of tone In this whistle
of prosperity. The Nicaragua canal ought
to pay q fair dividend from the outset and
the receipts will go on mounting up just as
the shipping world discovers that Tor many
destinations il is a better route than any
now open TO commerce.
The elections thus far held in England
indicate decided gains for the Liberal party
and Mr.. Giadstone's home-rule policy. 1t is
a common thing In England to oust Govern
ment from power which has been in Office
five or six years. Changes are welcome 10
constituencies if only for the pleasure of
beholding fresh ebullitions of ministerial
yigoT. The rumor IS that MIR. Gladstone
may have 100 majority in the new Par
lament. If so he will be Premier for the
fourth time in his life, and will put the
copingstOBe on his career by solemn effort
to reconcile Ireland to England by giving
Ireland as free hand as possible in It's
own affairs. A week will decide which of
the contestants has gained the day-the
party of progress or the party inclined 10
leave things alone.
Should Mr.. Gladstone come into power
he will almost inevitably select as his Lord
Chancellor a distinguished lrshman who
stands at tie head of the bar for eloquence
and professional acumen. Sir Charles Rus
sell unquesiionably has no superior in any
field Of legal work at the English bar. He
is at home in dry cases complicated with
technicalitles. and he is quite as much at
home in the defense OF a prisoner on trial
for his life. His versatility and his gran
deur as all advocate are acknowledged on
every hand In addition, he is a sterling
patriot, lar above the average in the percep-
ton Of what Is advisable for country's
government, and as an 1rlshman who has
risen from the ranks by sheer ability he is
superlatiyely qualified to be head OF the
law In any administration which essays to
do justice to Ireland. His assistance in any
home-rule project must prove OF inestima-

defendant falling Ia pay the balance,
Strahle ceased 10 deliver any more states.
In this connection Glen testified that he
tailed TO pay the claim because he himself
was not pai1 by the persons with whom be
contracted, and that Strable's contract was
made amenable to his original contracts
with the asylum and high-school autbori-
ties, SO that Strahle's payments for material
must go along with Glen's Payments under
the original contracts. Upon this state
OF facts IT was maintained that the action
was wrongly brought--in that il should he

But the court held otherwise, and. further
that Glen's failure to pay justified the non'
