A BOLD ROBBERY.

a ree-trade contemporary pronounees the
tin plate tax bold robbery of the people.
The term seems familiar. 1t was used quite
frequently In connection with the duties on
steel rails some years ago. How often was
it demonstrated that steel rails could not be
produced In the United States. The duties,
it was asserted. we're added to tie foreign
price and had to be paid by the consumer
The advocates Of protection had not much
data to argue on in those years. and duties
would probably have been taken of If the
revenue had not been needed. The necessi-
ties of the Government saved the protective
tariff until its results became apparent.
These same free-trade advocates are now
saying that as domestic competition has
brought steel rails very near to the foreign
cost the duties are no longer needed The
tin-plate development promises to be much
more rapid than the sseel-rail industry was.
Twenty years ago Americans had almost
everything to learn in the way of making
finished goods OF any kind; now In respect
to machinery and mechanical skill we are
the equal of any nation on the globe The
somewhat higher cost Of labor In America
gives the foreigner an advantage which we
Offset by placing a tax on the thing they
send US. The development of the tin-plate
Industry will be rapid. By the time the
next Presidential election comes round if
the present duties are maintained there will
be little talk about the duties on tin plate
being bold robbery Of the people.

OsTROM's DEFEAT.

The selection Of Murphy over Ostrom to
be chairman Of the Fresno convention is
not without political significance. Ostrom
was not beaten on his record as an anti
railroad man nor on his position as a sup
porter Of Mr.. Cleveland as the Presidential
nominee; be was beaten on the interview
in which lie said that he would not use his
influence to have the San Francisco Traffic
Association Endorsed. Mr.. 0strom has a
fair auti-railroad record. but the railroad
company gave him such generous support
that he did not see the way clear to antag-
onize the company. But the convention is
not yet out Of the woods. The railroad
company did not elect their candidate before
the Republican convention. But the can
didate who was apparently elected over
their own did not appoint committee Oh
resolutions pledged TO introduce anti-railroad
resolutions into the platform. The defeat
of O5trom teaches a lesson. OStrom's anti
railroad record was satisfactory, but his
ayowed position was not. The anti-railroad
fight cannot be entrusted to the hands Of
men WHO move about with one eye on the
corner Of Fourth and Townsend streets.

prepriations for worthy purposes. The
pension expenditure has been more severely
attacked than any other. but the worst that
can be said of that use of money is that in
all probability some old soldiers got on the
pension list who were not strictly entitled
to be there. The present Congress an
nounced its intention to cut down appro-
priations by S10O, 1000, 900 year. 1t soon found
that the thing could not be done. The coun-
try has grown since the Buchanan admins
tration. The nation needs many things it
could do without when under a free-trade
policy the treasury was in chronic condi-
ton OF emptiness. The fear among Demo-
cratic journals now is that the Fifty second
Congress will surpass the billion-doIlar
record Of the Fifty-frst. Seeing nothing
but defeat in The free-trade Issue, these
journals now seek to raise retrenchment
into Presidential issue.

The Republican Alliance Adopts Resolu-
tions in Support OF Colonel Burns.
At meeting of the executive committee
OF the Republican Alliance held last night
at the headquarters on Powell street, the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Eesolred, That the Republican Alliance
OF san Francisco hereby renews ITS all
legiance 10 the principles OF political
reform which necessitated its formation,
organization and existence, to wit: To reform
tile methods heretofore practiced in the conduct
Of local politics In this city. and 10 take active
measures looking 10 the honest administration
Resolved. That we heartily indorse, approve
and Ialfy the conduct of our leaders, Daniel NJ
of the late State primaries and convention, and
we have every confidence in their integrity aud
loyalty TO our principles, and the ability 10
carry onward TO success The principles for which
we are organized We heartily give them our
undivided support. and confidently look forward
TO campaign successful la all respects for the
Republican party under their leadership.
The following resolutions were also
adopted

THE ISSUE OF RETRENCHmENr.

The New York Sun says that the Demo-
cratic majority Of the Fifty-second House
was elected on the square issue of retreneh-
ment. If we admit this to be true, which
admission, however, we do not make, the
issue Of retrenchment is narrow one to
fight Presidential campaign upon. The
whole question involved is whether one
hundred millions or so in the treasury should
be expended for things we need or kept in
the form of a surplus until otherwise ap-
propriated. The Dillion-dollar Congress is
ncs charged with having made fraudulent
use of money. 1t simply made liberal APP

The Examiner, we note, is not in favor of
the free coinage Of silyer-that is, giving a
gold dollar for 42h grains of silver. The
Chronicle, upon the contrary, fayors the
free coinage of silver by the United States,
no matter where the silver comes from nor
how much Of it may be offered. One of
these opinions is sound, while the other is
not. 0ne would retain a coinage worth its
face in gold, while the other would have
