Does protection favor special inter
ests?" Is it merely a scheme TO "tax'
the masses for the benefit of the favored
few" Is IL really a robbery of th4
''plain people" " the ''monopolist man
ufacturers' protected by our tariff?
If it is, then indeefIs the faith Of the
protectioniSt very poS-E. one, nor can
there be the least justifcafSn for such
system of extortion.
But ask the importer, alien as heN IN
his business and too often alien also III
citizenship-ask him, as be laughs in bis
sleeve and pockets the enormous profits
reaped by stimulating foreign industries
and giving employment to foreign work
ingmen, whether protection or free trade
favors especial interests"
Ask the capitalists and men with fixed
incomes, interested only in having things
cheap" no matter who suffers, if free
trade favors no special interests"
Ask the free raw material manufac-
turer, won over by selfish considerations
Of individual advantage, whether pro-
lection really only helps special inter
ests."
Ask these men, and then admire and
commend the righteous Indignation with
which they all oppose protection for no
other reason than because it favors "spe-
cial interests"
Protection is too broad, too liberal, too
national a system to favor any special
interest" in the free trade sense Of the
word. 1t protects American labor any
where and everywhere-on farm ard
field, in forest and mine, on ship and IA
factory.
But if to stimulate American indus
try, give motive TO American enterprise,
add to American wealth and advocate
American doctrines and support for our
own citizens against the worId-if that
is fayoring special interests. then in
deed does protection do so.
And we glory in it.--American Econo-

can predict what will come OF the claim in

all but omuipOtent corporation, which eX-

all descriptions Of officr-holderS, ami is deft
and willy in the management of Boards of
Supervisors. There is a large tract of land
in front OF the city of Oakland, aud much
of it at low tide is above water Knowing
what the company is capable of attempting,
there is no question that it will endPaVOr to
grasp the whole Of the water front, and in
due time the property might be utilized, but
not To the advantage OF Oakland or San
FIantlSco. The company has lost Goat
Island, but it has possession worth many
millions If il gets all 1t claims on the lore

IL is said that the title to the collection OF
wharfage aud the right to construct piers
and wharves has now reverted TO tie city OF
Oakland the grant to Horace Carpenter
having been made in 1852 for 81 years. This
is very valuable right aud 1t IS sincerely TO
be hoped that 0aklaud's title is sound and
unimpeachaDc.
When the Goat Island project was de-

written for THE MoKNINs CALL.

The attempt made on the Oakland shore
by the Oakland Water front Company,
which IS simply an alias for the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company, to stop the driv-
ing Of piles for Davies wharf recalls the
situation which profoundly agitated this
community in 1872, year memorable in
the conflict between the interests Of the
community and those Of the railroad. The
air was murky with railroad projects that
year. Then, as now, although it had
hardly gotten on its legs the railroad man
agement was reaching out on grand scale
to obtain control of al transportation ia
cilities, and Of all franchises and land
grants that would assist Its schemes of ag-
gTaadizement In the spring Of 1872 the
movement 10 obtain possession of Goat Isl
and was in full swing, and San Francisco
grded up its lOins. and pretty nearly the
whole State did the same, TO defeat the
scheme as one menacing the prosperity of
the community, and conceived purely in the
interest of railroad men who had become
great in stature by public aid, and were
usDg the power to Cypress benefactors.
The scheme came near being successful.
The grant Of Goat Island 10 the Central
Pacific Company was carried through
The House Of Representatives,, and the
Senate was so composed that nobody
would have been much surprised had the
bill passed that chamber also. But the

Eastern Competitors Oppose California
Fruit Growers.
The dispatches from Atlanta, Ca, an
nounce that the National Association Of
Nurserymen has passed resolutions antago-
niStic to California fruit interests.
Secretary Lelong Of the State Board OF
Horticulture said yesterday that the e2mity
of Eastern nurserymcn Is caused by the
fact that California has exercised a strict
surveillance over all imported orange trees.
The result was that local quarantine officers
have destroyed $50. 90 diseased orange trees
since last spring hich were shipped from
Tahiti AMI that $1,000 peach trees from the
East shared the same fate. The latter were
infected with the most ineurable and eonta-
gious disease, called the ''yellowS." and the
nuTseTymen who shipped them here are now
so angry that they are ready TO advocate
any measure calculated to do California
some harm.
Circulars have of late been spread
throughout the country by the nurserymen
in the East alleging that California dried
fruits are dangerous to the consumer be-
cause they are handled by Chinese and
because they are sulphured. As matter OF
fact white boys and girls handle the prncl-
pal portion Of our fruit crop, and there is
very limited use OF sulphur. Sulphur.
which is not Injurious, is only used now for
the purpose OF bleaching and preventing
fermentation.
