THE most highly protected industry in
the United States ia the manufacture of
iron and steel. The Carnegie works are
about to join issue with their men on a
material reduction demanded, and q
strike is inevitable. Carnegie has taken
steps to fight the strikers and has placed
a gunboat on the river to pour red-hot
shot into the ranks of the strikers if they
make move. Here is q direct chal-
lenge from the protected barons, and We
may look for real war. Protection is a
fine thing for the millionaires who
pocket the difference between the tariff
and the lowest possible rate Of wages
they can force their workmen to labor
for. In the meantime the coal and iron
barons are flooding the country with the
pauper labor of Europe, whose competi-
ton with high American wages was
the only reason they could advance
for the passage of the Mckinley
bill. The Carnegie strike will empha-
size the beauties of a tariff falsely pro-
claimed in the interest of labor, and
leave the Republican party without a
foot to stand upon at the very threshold
OF the campaign. The Democratic plank
on this subject very appropriately be-
gins with the terse sentence: "We de-
nounce Republican protection aa
fraud"
Los Angeles herald., 1892-06-30

JUDGE r. M. WIDNEY in his recent
visit to Washington, laid before congress
through the finance committee of the
house, a compilation OF statistics in
which he showed that the money sup
ply OF the United States ia inadequate
for the business and general wants of
the country, and unless speedy relief is
had financial calamity is liable to over
take US at any time. The facts he has
gathered together have been widely
distributed by the judge in double-leaf
tract, and cannot be too carefully read
by the people who are being squeezed
to death by the opportunities the money
stringency gives to the creditor class. 1t
will be seen by the table that California
has available working cash in the na-
tional banks amounting to only 81. 43
per capita. Add 10 per cent to that and
we have $l.571s per capita in this state
to meet the exigencies of our vast bust
ness. This will give the people clear
solution Of the strain which is cons tant.
ly on them to get money to meet their
current needs and to pay the ire remendous
rates Of interest exacted by lenders.
The tract is reproduced in other columns.

A HABEAS CORPUS CASE.
Roderguera Making a Hard Fight fc
Liberty.

Roderguera Making Hard Fight for
Liberty.
There promises to be lively legal
battle this morning over the hearing on
the application for a writ of habeas
corpus before Judge Smith in the case
OF the Mexican Manuel F. Roderguera
alias Manuel Folomir.
:. Roderguera was arrested some days
ago in Santa Barbara by Deputy United
States Marshal Jenkins and brought to
this city. He is charged with the
murder of postoffice clerk named
Garcia in Sonora some four or five
months ago, and it is further alleged
that he is wanted for murder COM
mitted in Sinaloa.
The prisoner, who is about 80 years
old, stoutly insists that he is innocent
of the charges brought against him,
although he has been fully identified by
Agent Obando of the Mexican govern
ment. Messrs. Del Vale & Munday
will present arguments for his dis
charge before Judge Smith this morn
ing, while Frank III. Howard will appear
on behalf of the Mexican government.
