poor. The rich might sleep in their
beds because starving hands could
brandish no weapons nor kindle a
torch. The
night closed over the day of struggle,
but rest came not with the dark. Men
watched around death-beds, and
while they sorrowed felt at least that
death was rest. HouSelesS wanderers
were fortunate who could sleep under
a tree" An English journalist at the
same time said of the situation mo
slavery was ever worse than this.'
Such proof from British witnesses Of
the free trade workings in England
ought to and will satisfy all farmers
and laborers, save those who believe
their first duty is to the old country
that don't want it in this country.
They have nothing to fear but much
to gain from protection. The great
fear for them and all the laboring
class especially, is the too wide open
gates of immigration to paupers,
criminals. anarchists Of the old world
to residence and citizenship among
us. The labor element should give
that question careful attention and
and thoughtful study. 1t is the most
dangerous problem, to them particu-
larly, that confronts the American
peoply in all their foreign relations.

TRADE for the first week of the new
year opened up fairly well, and con-
tinued much in the same line it fol
lowed during the closing weeks of 1891.
In the South, however, it is somewhat
depressed On account Of the dizziness
in the cotton trade. The indications
are that the money market will be
easy this winter, as there are large
accumulations at the various financial
centers, and the disbursements for
January are large. The abundance
of money is producing greater call
for bonds and stocks, and municipal
bonds which have been a drag upon
the market for sometime back, are
looking up little. The outlook in
the iron and steel trade is good, and a
big business in structural iron and
steel is expected. The movements OF
crops continues large, our exports
are heavy and the importations OF
gold will probably continue large
Taken altogether the outlook of the
future in the business world is most
excellent.

SENATOR PETER, Of Kansas, has
introduced bill in the United States
Senate authorizing the government
to loan $100,000,000 to the people of
Indiana, at per cent interest and
take security therefor upon their
farms. When Mr.. PETER was elected
to the senate the cry was that the
people of his state were being crushed
beneath the burden Of debt and it is
somewhat remarkable that he should
leave them to suffer and go to the re-
lief of the people of another state.
Perhaps he had doubts as to how the
scheme would work, and thought it
best to experiment elsewhere. Or
perhaps the rapid manner in which
the Kansas farmers are paying of
their mortgages, gave him an idea
that they were not in need of the re-
lief that two years ago was demanded,
SO he looked elsewhere for chance to
open up the pet scheme of the party
he represents. In so doing this he
fulfills the mission for which he
was elected, as nothing more will
probably be heard of the impractical
| scheme.

| people The best part of the city is
the product Of the past four years, and
| the Chinese and Mexican quarters are
being left at one side Of the city Of
which they were lately the center.
The streets are more crowded than
any in st. Paul or Minneapolis, though
it is as nothing now compared with
''boom days." four years ago. Then
the main streets were solid mass of
human beings, and many people found
it almost impossible to do business
except in the outskirts. At the post
Office everyone took his turn in line
block and half long.
1t is now hard to conceive the in
sane excitement OF the boom days,
when the entire country from the
ocean to the desert was laid out in
town lots, and from Los Angeles to
San BernardinO was one continuous
city. A corner lot in MOnrOvia sold
for $4,000, which the purchaser would
be glad to dispose OF now for $500. An
other corner lot now even less valu
able sold for $1,000 The principal
hotel here cost with the grounds,
$4,000 and is now offered for sale at
$4,000. Each village has it's large
boom hotel. The country is rapid
ly recovering from the unhappy craze,
in which SO many fortunes were lost,
and a steady increase in values of
country property based on its capacity
for production, has taken the place of
the SenSeleSS speculation in town lots.
There are drawbacks in the climate
as well as advantages. The summers
are long, hot and dry: in many places
the dust or fog is bad for inyalidS: the
"nOrtherS' sometimes fill the air and
houses with sand and dust. The
worst ''nOrther'' in years visited this
side of the valley shortly before my
arrival, and the land is strewn with
broken trees. demolished buildings
and oranges. The leaves were fairly
blown off o. the orange, pepper and
eucalyptus trees in exposed places,
and every orchard is filled with fallen
oranges. One orchardist near Monro-
via. who last year sold his orange crop
from forty acres for $50, 900. estimates
his loss at $4,000. Everyone lost. and
often one-half the oranges were blown
Off. 1t is sOrrowful sight to see the
destruction wrought in this peaceful
valley. Huge live oaks, which are
here plentiful and indigenous to the
soil, were hurled in twain, and lawns
were strewn with the litter of flowers
and semi-tropical shrubbery which
lately adorned them. But such winds
are exceptional, and always blow out
of clear sky. There are no cyclones
or thunder storms in this country,
and the mountains shut off most of
the winds. Ia the day time gentle
breeve blows in from the ocean. and
at night it blows down from the
mountains to the sea, just as gently,
scarcely stirring a leaf During the
hottest day, these breezes create a
delicious GOODNESS in the shade.
1t is the general opinion that the
chances for making money in South
ern California, outside of fruit-grow-
ing, are net equal to those in other
sections. The cities are full Of pro-
fessional men from the east, await
ing an opening. But with fruit
growing it is different. The entire
orange belt does not equal the area of
Blue Earth county, and a goodly por-
ton of it is already set to trees.

Canitalists are Not CnnitaI.

1t is common remark among the
opponents of industrial reform that
there is no antagonism between CAPT
tai and labor. This statement is con-
sidered by lis makers rs a final an
swer to all reform arguments, but
such conclusion will hardly follow a
searching investigation. What is cap
italP Simply labor already done.
OF course there is no controversy be-
tween capital and labor There can
not be. AS well speak Of controversy
between engineer and engine, between
farmer and his plow. But it does
not follow that, because there is no
conflict between labor already done
and labor about to be done, there cam
not be conflict, u real, justifable
conflict, between the man who has Sc

to work with the assistance Of that
past labor. There is not and cannot
be any antagonism between farmer
and his farm, but there may be be-
tween farmer and the owner Of a
10 per cent mortgage on the farm.
There are, doubtless, many sincere
opponents to the reform movement;
but he who considers he has answered
the reform arguments by such fiat
truism as the statement that there is
no antagonism between capital and
laboris eitherinsincerc, densely stupid,
or totally ignorant Of the subject.
Those who will try to substitute capt.
talist and laborer for capital and la
Dor, can hardly free themselves from
the charge Of insncerity.

What the Old Party Papers are Saving

What the Old Party Papers are Saving
Why are the agents Of Wall street
and the money power so keen in their
oppofition to the free coinage of silverP
Why are the gold bug democrats ready
Gas far as their power goes) to break
up their party rather than permit the
majority to carry out its wishesp The
reason is plain. The gold bugs are
creditors, and the money their debtors
will be compelled to pay them is in
creasing in value more rapidly than
any other form of property.
Let is look into the matter little.
On April 2 the New York Tribune re-
marked that much current complaint
is doubtless due to the fact that prices
are low, the range of 200 commodities
being about IS cents lower than q
year ago, when the effects Of the short
crops of 1890 were more felt"
To get at the real meaning of this
drop in prices it is only necessary to
remark that an ounce OF silver bullion
can be exchanged for as great guam
tity of every commodity, except gold
as it could have been a year ago. In
other words, only gold has increased
in value, while silver and other COM
modities have maintained their status.
This is the trouble with the gold bugs.
Gold is increasing in value all the
time. 1t has increased Is per cent dur
ing the past twelve months All debts
have increased in just that proportion.
twill take twenty pounds of cotton TO
pay debt which could have been paid
year ago with about twelve pounds.
That is what the single gold standard
is doing for the country. 1t rObs the
debtor to increase the wealth of the
creditor. 1t cheats the poor that the
rich may grow richer. This is the
honest dollar, which we hear 50 much
talked about. This is, in fact, the
dishonest dollar which. constantly in
J creasing IN value, is grinding every

Republican ConslstencY.

whenever a Kansas republican be-
gins to howl against free coinage and
talk about dishonest, 70 cent dollars,
it would be in order to pull the follow
ing extract from the Kansas republic
can platform Of 1890, on him:
"The practical operation of the silver
act now in force, recently passed by a
Republican majority and opposed by o
democratic minority in both houses of
congress, is rapidly increasing the
value Of silver, is good step in the
right of direction; but we, the republi-
cans of Kansas, demand the free coin
age of silver. a measure strongly op.
posed and vigorously denounced by
the late administration led by ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland"
Ifthere was any other declaration Of
faith in: the republican platform of
1890 that has not since been violated
by the party leaders, we fail to recall
it. they declared in that platform,
as follows:
ave are in favor of electing rail
road commissioners by a direct vote Of
the people, and we demand of the
next legislature that they confer upon
the board of railroad commissioners,
ample power to regulate freight and
passenger rates"
A bill for carrying the above into
effect passed the peoples party house
by large majority, but met its death
in the republican senate. Again, they
said;
1--WE are opposed to the system of
free passes on railroads now in vogue
in this state, by reason of which every
railroad company is expected, as a
matter of courtesy to compliment all
state officers, members of the legisla-
ture, judges and other public officers,
with free transportation over their re-
spective lines, and we favor the sup
preston of this practice by proper
legislation"
Yet during the thirty years they
had control of legislation in Kansas,
they failed to enact any such law, and
when the matter came up in the legis-
laturc, the senate failed to pass it,
Another promise reads as follows:
"The next Legislature should so
amend the laws relating to foreclosure
and sale of real estate, under mortgage
contract, as shall secure to the mort
gagor the privilege of redeeming such
real estate at any time within twelve
months from the date of such fore
closure sale, by the payment of the
judgment, and legal interest from
date Of sale to date of redemption"
The house passed law granting a
two years stay of execution, and
equity of redemption, but the bill died
