REVENUE FROM WOOL.

The WOODEN goods now imported represent
about 170,00a,0o0 pounds of wool in the raw
state. The value of these goods is about
$40, 100000. and the revenue derived from
them abopi $4,000 900. The duties on raw
wool now yield Sc. 100000 The Democratic
proposition is TO put raw wool on the free
list, aDd to reduce by 80 per cent the duties
on wooden goods. If this amount imported
remains the same, the revenue would be
only 81, 900. In place therefore of
S4l,590.oo0 from wool and wooden goods as
az present, wo should receive only
ST., 800, 900. The free-traders assume that
under reduced duties imports would in
crease. Some claim that the revenue from
WOODEN goods at one-haIf OF present rates of
duty would be as much as at present. But
this would include the importation of
S64, 100000 worth OF goods IN place of
$4,000, 600. That means that $40. 0o0. 600
would 20 out Of the country TO pay for
goods that under the present tariff are
manufacturing at home. Ii the present
tariff continues the S42, 0O0, 900 of goods now
imported will gradually decrease The
100000 pounds of wool imported in the
finished state viii be correspoDdingIy re-
duced in quantity. American wool-growers
now supply nearly nine tenths of the wool
consumed in our factories. but supply none
OF the wool consumed in foreign factories
the wool products of which are imported
Is ii not clear that legislation which doubles
the amount of our imports OF wooden goods
strikes ruinous blow at the wool-growinS

THE COLUMBIAN PARTY.

A committee of seven, representing The
Columbian party" make the following
declaration of principles:
We the undersigned ciiiz Us, believe that
every paper dollar issued by the United States
Government should be redeemable In gold at the
option OF the holder; we believe in tariff for
revenue only; we demand the abolition Of the
'spoils system. Finding no Diner party which
advocates these principles, we hereby enroll our
selves as members OF the Columbian party.

A WONDER.

/" 1t is a wonder tina. San Francisco or
California have grown at allduring the past
fifteen or eighteen years." says a person at
Cur elbow as We write concerning the re-
markable article published in THE MORN
ING CALL on Saturday, having reference to
the subsidies which have been paid to the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company by railroad
organizations. The amount so contri buted
by railroad managers 20 break down the
. busiAess of this city and State, since 1877,
has been $4,000. 600 and upward, as follows

l. tAi-.--------- 14555 ,UOU
This amount. it should be borne in mind,
is only the sum of money which has been
paid 10 the steamship company in order that
il should not take freight unless at such
rates as were satisfactory to the railroad
combinations, and would enable them to
demand from our merchants and others such
terms as would actually cripple the business
Of the State. 1t is wonder that San Fran
cisco merchants have been able to secure
even a moderate business with such draw
backs as they have had to contend against
and 1T is not alone our merchants who have
suffered, but it is every interest in the city
anu State, except those which have been
directly connected with the railroad, which
has been assaulted.

THE RUSSIAN POLICY.

Russia has kept seal-poachers out of her
half of Boring Sea by force of arms. She
has not argued the question whether or not
the sea is closed sea, but has fired into
poachers without regard TO the flag they
have carried. 1t looks now as if the United
States might have to adopt Russia'S policy.
The English Government is reported as un-
willing to renew the arrangement by which
last year the poachers took $4,000 seals and
the lessees of the Pribyloff Islands 1900 seals.
The proposition TO establish a protected
belt extending thirty miles from the shore
of the islands Is like locking one door of a
house, leaving open doors on three sides If
seals are killed it does not make much Diff
ference whether they are killed within
thirty miles of the island or little nearer
the main land. The moduS yiyendi, as
established last year, was one-sided affair.
The lessees of the islands could be restricted
in their catch, but the p0aebers were ire
sponsible. All they had to do was to keep
out of the way of the Government vessels
sent up there to warn them Of the terms of
the agreement. 1t is not known that any of
them paid any attention to the warning. 1t
is not probable either that they will pay any
attention to the warning to be made this
year. The action of the British Government
in holding the sea open while arbitration
proceedings are progressing is irritating. 1t
threatens a revival OF the old ISSUE whether
seal pirates flying the British flag were
entitled to the protection OF that flag.

Lefltte and His Men.

The freebooters commanded by the fa-
nous Laiitte, who terroriZed the Gulf of
Mexico for several years subsequent to
1906. called themselves subjects Of the
republic under the flag OF which they
sailed. They elected one freebooter
Judge of the admiralty" another "ad-
ministrator OF the revenue" a third
Secretary of the public treasury" n
fourth marine commandment" and so on.
But Lafitte WAS king, and his word was
law. The man who held the high sound
ing office Of Judge Of the admiralty" had
occasion. years afterward, to make state
ment about this colony. 1t was to the
effect that ''the sole view and object of
the persons comprising the colony was to
capture Spanish vessels and property,
without any idea of aiding the revolution
IN Mexico or that of any other of the re-
volted Spanish colonies" The island went
by the name Of Snake island, because of
the number OF serpents.

the contract awarded The monument
will consist of granite base sixteen
feet square at the ground, gradually
diminishing by series Of steps to highly
ornate square pedestal eleven feet high,
above which rises shaft surmounted by
n decorative cap supporting an S-foot
bronze figure of Confederate soldier.
This figure represents an infantryman at
Appomattox. He stands barehcuded and
disarmed, his empty canteen and haver-
sack on his right hip, his arms folded and
his right hand grasping his broad brimmed
hat.
The whole monument will be forty-six
feet high. On the four sides OF the pedes
tai there will be inserted bronze panels
representing, respectively, "Thc Seal Of
the Confederacy," The Call to Arms"
"The Lost Cause" "The Eternal Sleep"
The four corners of the die are broken into
groups of polished granite columns with
fiat Romanesque capitals. Just below the
die, in raised letters of polished granite, is
the inscription, confederate Dead"
The contract calls for the delivery of the
completed monument ready for unwilling
July l, 1893, although the exact date for
that ceremony has not yet been fixed. It
will take place during the month of July,
however, and will no doubt be the occasion
of the assembling Of many thousands Of
