THE TRAFFIC ASSOCIATIONS AIM.

The Record Union says, concerning the
late movement in the Traffic Association:
The statement OF The protesting members OF
lie association shows beyond question, indeed
II is haily and undisgulsedly stated, that the
original and central purpose and real object of
The Tfatflc Association was TO make San Fran.
cisco Tie distributing center Of the State. Ali
the evasion and cxeusaiiye explanations OF The
Traffic Association aud Autocrat Leeds are
swept aside by the frank statement OF the pro-
testing merchants hat such was and Is the pur
pose of The association.
There has been no atte mpt 10 disguise
the fact that the aim and purpose Of the
Traffic Association have been from the first
and still are to make San Francisco the dis
tributing center Of the State. But how did
the association propose TO accomplish this
purpose? The establishment of clipper-ship
lines in measure answers this question.
1t proposed to make San Francisco n dis
tributiDg center by providing means that
win enable San Francisco to sell goods TO
The interior at lower prices, including trans
portation charges. than like good can be
purchased at in Eastern cities. The inte-
rior merchants will not quarrel with this
purpose. They would as readily buy goods
10 San Francisco and ship them to their
several places or business as to send orders
10 Chicago, ST. Louis or New York. But
San Francisco being at the extreme western
end OF line of railroad and having no
other way to receive goods than over this
line, the conditions enabling her to perform
the functions Of distributing center could
not be maintained. 1t was uphill work to
create conditions that would pass goods
through interior cities 20 San Francisco and
back again to interior cities from San Fran
cisco. The Traffic Association Consequently
sits chiefly for the task OF getting goods to
San Francisco at cost of transportation
which would enable our merchants to give
Interior merchants better bargains than
these interior merchants could obtain In
any Eastern city.
1t must be borne in mind that the mer-
chants OF all interior cities are limited to the
use OF land routes in the trans portation of
goods. If they order goods by any other
route the goods must be landed first in San
francisco. The methods Of The Traffic As
ISOLATION were entirely legitimate. The As
ISOLATION proposed simply TO utilize the
natural advantages of the city. 1t does not
ask for discriminating rates, or does 1t ask
that terminal points shall be discontinued
1T leaves the interior cities in the full en-
joyment OF present privileges and proposes
to create conditions which invite them to
trade In San Francisco on the basis of in
terest. The protestaDts against the policy
of the Traffic Association now represent

1.-THE PROPER SORT OF WORK.

A Washington correspondent OF the
Chronicle sends the following concerning a
conference of Republicans 10 consider the
senatorial situation:
The whole subject, Il IS said. was thoroughly
canvassed, and some OF those present were sat
isned that the Democrats could be Kept from
having a majority In the Senate il the proper
sort OF work was done.
What is meant by The proper sort of work
can only be surmised. But the kind of
work that will have 10 be done to reverse
the record OF the election made at the Office
Of the Secretary of State may be defined in
single word. The contention that some
seats are in doubt was passed upon while
making up that record. OF course t is
possible 10 contest seats and through such
contests. IL successful, 20 place Republicans
IN the seats Of Democrats elected On the
face of the returns, but this is dangerous
game TO play unless it can he shown that
The contest is based upon facts. One OF the
principal causes that led TO the defeat of
David b. Hill in the Chicago convention
was the fact that he had c0nspired to seat
Democratic Senators IA place of Republicans
whom the returns declared elected. Demo
cratic leaders. who had not the courage to
denounce the outrage, had the sagacity to
perceive That the party could not 20 into q
Presidential contest under a leader Of this
description. That record will stand in
Hills way in 1896 as il did in 1892. 1t is an
expression Of the moral sense of the people.
However desirable a Republican Senate
may be, it is not worth the theft of a single
seat.

could be measured by the banks liabilities.
But the failure of the Monetary Conference
cannot be measured in its effects in this
way. The failure means q radical change
in financial policies. The United States will
cease to be a purchaser Of silver and prob
ably become a purchaser of gold. India
will be driven 10 adopt the gold standard,
thus shutting off another large market for
silver. The failure of the conference will
imply. in short, that gold is TO be the meas
ure Of silver and silver a commodity the
value OF which is to be measured. 1t is not
within the range OF human vision to foresee
and provide against such consequences as
must result from the contraction OF the
money which constitutes the measure of
values by about one half. There will be so
much less metallic money in which currency
can be redeemed. This condition will give
rise to all sorts Of fiat-money schemes by
which the currency of the world will be
made to rest upon some ether than coin
basis. 1t is not presumed that the financial
world will go to smash. but If gold remains
the sole measure of value there will be a
long period Of depression. If gold does not
remain the measure of yalue-if fiat-money
schemes are accepted as a remedy.-the peo-
pie Will be fortunate if the remedy Is not
found worse than the disease.

COrIpLACENT CLEVELAND.

At the Reform Clubs dinner 10 Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland the guest of honor is
reported as saying:
We can contemplate nothing more gratifying
In connection with this assenblage than the
proof il affords that tile American people can be
trusted 10 manage the government given into
their Keeping.
In brief, Mr.. Cleveland considers the Sc
lection OF himself as the Democratic stan
dard-bearer and tile election of that STAN
dard- bearer to the Presidency as indications
OF capacity on the part Of the people to
govern themselves. The conclusion he
comes to is. however, one which might be
more confidently stated after the policy upon
which Mr.. Cleveland proposes TO enter has
been tried aud shown to work well. The
complaeent assumption of the attribute of
infallibiliiy does not tend 10 inspire conf
dence in Mr.. Clevelani's ability. His term
of the Presidency was limited in lis power
for mischief within a very narrow range
Ia cannot be said TO have made mark upon
The political history of the period. The fiscal
policy which had been In operation q quar-
ter of century remained unchanged. The
treasury was abundantly supplied by laws
Mr.. Cleveland found in operation when he
was iBaugurated. aud which he left in oper-
alton when he returned to private life. He
now has TO face a different condition of
things. II he does not work with his party
to change the fiscal policy of the Govern
ment he will be denounced as traitor to
bis party. The excuse Of Republican
Senate will no longer avail him. 1t is quite
within the range of possibilities that his
administration will be marked by Industrial
and commercial disasters. Under these
circumstances. his complacent assurance
that by electing him the people have given
proof of their wisdom rests rather upon
a certain self-satisfed STANDARDIZATION
than upon confidence based upon successful
performance.
