THOSE TERMINAL POINTS.

The procession of railroad organs that
charge the Traffic Association with a pur-
pose 10 compel interior merchants to come
TO San Francisco for supplies continues its
mOnotOnous march. If the men at the cor
ner OF Fourth and Townsend streets would
think for a moment they would Perceive
how absurd this charge is. The object of
the Traffic Association is to obtain lower
freight rates. Whether these lower rates
are allowed by means of sea competition or
by the agency Of the State Railroad C0ul-
mission, there is no way to prevent the in
terror cities from getting the full benefit of
them. The Tre fife Association will never
ask the railroad company to carry Sacra-
mento west bound freight on to San Fran
cisco to the end that the Sacramento mer-
chant may fnd it cheaper to order goods
from san Francisco than from the East.
II freight rates should be reduced 40 per
cent or SO both East and West the interior
merchant would profit by the reduction to
the extent Of his business as a shipper. But
the Traffic Association proposes to open the
sea routes which the unholy combination
between the Southern Pacific Company and
the Pacific Mail have closed up. They eX-
pect to bring many kinds OF goods to San
Francisco by water at less cost than would
DC possible by lanQ. Inc narEet OF San
Francisco and the markets Of Eastern cities
will then be open to California interior mer-
chants. If they can buy goods on better
terms in San Francisco than in Eastern
cities, freight charges considered, it is sup
posed that they will. But there will be no
attempt at compulsion in the matter. All
the terminal points now in California will
remain terminal points. but the merchants
at these points may be given a cheaper mar
ket for some Eastern productions than they
have had in the past. San Francisco. at the
western extremity of the transcontnental
railroad, has been deprived of the sea tacili-
ties by combination between the railroad
company and the Pacific Mail. At the end
Of tie railroad line, it could not expect TO
supply towns and cities lying nearer to the
East The distance was against the city
But with the ocean routes open the city will
become a competitor with Eastern cities for
the trade of the interior California cities.
VIII the interior merchants be in any way
injured by choice of markets from which
goods may be obtained?

products as lie within its range of industry.
1t can add to the cost of foreign products
by means OF protective duties. and thus hold
its own EaTkets against goods that cost
less In the place Of production. But If the
United States should enter upOn the contest
for the markets OF the world ts protective
policy would not maintain its labor standard
above that of other countries competing
under equally favorable conditions. One
point OF difference between free trade and
protective policy is the relative value of the
home and foreign market The friends Of
protection say let us attend for a time at
least to our own market. Let us make our
first object tie market in which we can con-
troll prices by adding TO the natural cost of
foreign goods. The sree-traders say, on the
ether hand, let us open our home market to
foreign production and compete with foreign
ers for the markets of the world. THE CALL
holds that the policy of protection is for the
time wise and just. Whether or not the day
viii come when the markets of the world
will be necessity to keep our people en-
p!oyed Is not matter for present discussion.
