ADMISSION DAY.

California has one holiday that is peeu-
liar, to the State. No other State makes a
note of its admission into the Union.
Some Of the States joined the Union so
long ago that the third generation of those
who witnessed the birth Of the nation are
now on the field Of action. Other States
have drifted in as a matter of course.
There was nothing else for them TO do.
But California might have set up for her
self IL she had been so inclined. She had

tory enough 10 divide into number of
States. Her population in 1850 was some

eater looked askance at each other They
often became good friends when they be-
came acquainted, but until the ice was
broken they held each other in mutual dis
respect. Under these conditions the COM
paratively few who appreciated the value
of American citizenship felt great relief
when the State was admitted. They
realized that delay would be dangerous.
The succeeding Congress might not have
a chance to do what the Congress then In
session had done. For these and other
reasons the admission of California as a
member of the American family of States
has been regarded as the day next to tbe

FREE TRADE AND A TARIFF FOR
REVENUE ONLY.

A correspondent asks THE CALL to de-
fine two terms that are often used as IL
they meant the same thing. Free trade is
free trade. There is no example of it in
the civilized world except within the lim-
its OF single nation. 1t means. in fact.
as the term purports TO mean, trade among
nations absolutely without legal restric-
tioDs; it means. of course. the closing of
custom-houses, and involves the collection
of national revenue from other sources.
A tariff for revenue only means that
duties shall be levied solely with view
to obtaining money for the Government
at the least cost in the way of collection.
A tariff for revenue only may furnish some
protection. but duties should not be levied
for that purpose. Still, any rate of duty
on articles of foreign produce that may be
produced at home furnishes a meas
ure Of protection. Under a tariff
iOr revenue only there would be
low duties on all imports. If one
article should be excepted the fact
of discrimination could be urged. If tea
should be subjected 10 duty and coffee ad-
mtled free. the uniformity required in
tariff for revenue only would be broken.
If wool should be admitted free and tea
and coffee taxed there would be diserimi-
nation against home product All the
revenue the Government requires can be
collected from duties on foreign goods on
the tariff-for-revenue-on principle. The
most simple method would be to levy ad
valoTem duties on all imports, the rate
being determined by the necessities of the
Government. The preparation of a tariff
for revenue is not difficult. The work of
tariff framing is in adjusting duties 10 the
existing condition of Industries. Even
Robert j. Walker. who framed the tariff-for-
revenue-only bill In 1886 extended the pro-
posed changes over period OF years. The
most radical tariff reformers admit that
some consideration should be shown to
established industries. To this end prob-
ably, tea, coffee and perhaps sugar will be
continued on the free list. and higher duties
than would be required under a~reai tariff
for revenue only will be retained on most
kinds Of finished goods.

ARE AMERICANS DYING OUT?

DR.. Gihon, Medical Director of the
navy, has created sensation by declaring
at the opening of the Pan American Medi-
cal Congress that the American race is
dying out. If DIR. Gihon's object was to
create a sensation, he has accomplished it
If it was to state a scientific fact, he has
provoked inquiry which does not sustain
his proposition. He merely repeats state
ment which was made when the last census
returns were footed up and which was
then shown TO be based on error.
When the footings of the eleventh census
showed population of $4,000. 900 In round
numbers, as against so. 155, 7S3 in 1880. be-
ing an increase of 4.96 per cent while the
tenth census showed an increase of 30OS
per cent between 1870 and 1880. it was
argued that the diminution In the rate OF
increase in a decade which had witnessed
an unprecedented foreign immigration
implied decrease in native growth. But
on investigation it was found that the
census of 1870 was defective in nearly all
the Southern States, and that the error
vtiated comparisons which were based on
its returns. Revision showed that the true
population of the Southern States in 1870
was ], ,260.072 in excess OF the nun Der given
by the census, and that the true percentage
of increase in the three last decades was
266 III 1870. 25.9 per cent in 1880 and 24S
per cent in 1S90-a pretty uniform rate of
increase. The census returns of 1890 are so
defective that they fail to show the exact
birth rate fol- the whole country. But il
seems wild to assert that, in country
which doubles its population in less than
forty years. the original stock is dying out.
Those who agree with DR.. GlhOn point
to the smallness of families at the present
time as compared with the families of the
early part of the century. But these reas-
oners judge from observation of a limited
area. They are generally medical men
practi cling in cities. In their practice they
find that two children are about the aver
age. If they extended their survey to the
rural districts they would find that six is
nearer the mark. so that for the whole
country the average number of children
born of one mother is rather over than
under four. That is about the average in
England, Germany and other growing
countries, while it is nearly double the
average In France, where the population,
however, is increasing SO that the loss
caused by the German annexation of
