MR.. CLEVELAND'S POLICY.

A good many Eastern pa pers are calling
upon Mr.. Cleveland to formulate his inan-
cial policy. 1t seems to be taken fol-
granted that Congress will adopt any
policy he may suggest. The New York
Mail and cypress says:
1t must be borne In mind that Mr.. Cleyeland
has behind him Congress Democratic in both
branches. Whatever he says. therefore, as the
official head OF his party should and would for
the most part be accepted as the announcement
of his party's policy.
This conclusion is misleading Congress
is Dem ocratic in both branches. but if Mr.
Cleveland counts upon the support of
Congress for the financial policy he has
declared himself personally in favor of he
will probably be disappointed. The sense
in which formal declaration of policy
would be interesting would be in respect
to details. He wants to sustain gold pay
ments, but how does he propose to provide
the treasury with gold? He has recently
said that the financial question was the
only one that disturbs the country. A
protective tariff does not seem to have the
terrors for him it did year ago. Other
apostles OF free trade admit that condi-
tions are not favorable to trial Of that
policy. There are not dozen well-known
free-traders who now advocate the imposi-
ton of duties on such articles as sugar,
coffee and tea. They are evidently afraid
OF tax on the necessaries of life. If Mr..
Cleveland shonld announce that under
present industrial conditions he did not
shlnk tariff revision would be wise he
might take his party with him on that
mint
The morning call., 1893-06-14
A VANISHING DOLLAR LIMIT.

The people of this city should separate
the fact of municipal floating debt from
the limitation placed upon the tax levy.
Under the dollar limit the revenues of the
city have increased out of proportion to
the increase in the value of property in
the city. Not only has the tax levy been
extended over the increased assessment
roll, but the Legislature has made certain
expenses which might be considered as
payable out of the ordinary revenue of
the city the subject of an extra tax. For
example. the payments made on account of
the public debt, for the construction of
the City Hall and for the maintenance of
the park are provided for by an addition
to the ordinary tax levy. In this way the
revenues of the city have been increased
S150,00O year for the last ten years, and
the result of the annual increase is $780,
600 deficit The Supervisors now propose
to pay this floating debt off by an extra
tax levy. We will then have the dollar
limit plus the extras which the Legis-
lature has authorized and plus levy suf-
fcient to meet any deficit that may have
been created during preceding year. If
this may be done, of course the limit placed
upon the rate of taxation is farce. One
per cent one year with an addition the
second year to pay the debts of the pre-
vious year is as good thing as the veriest
bOodler Can want. Supervisors will, of
course. enter the plea OF necessity The
debts have been contracted and the credit
ors are entitled to their pay. The last
board did not openly break their pledge,
but they left debt which is pleaded in
justification of pledge-bre aking by the
present board. 1t may be added that
nothing better is expected of Supervisors
who voted the Mayor ont of the law-mak-
ing department to enable the Spring Valley
Water Company to wiring a good round
sum out of the ratepayers.
This increasing rate of taxation comes
at wrong time. The Chicago fair has
taken some millions out of the city that
are ordinarily expended at home. There
are new movements to improve our indus
trial condition which at present are call
ing for money. There has been until re-
Gently scarcity of work which has pre-
vented the small holder from
making the usual provision for taxes. In
fact, while the outlook is good, times are
at present dull. The acueness of the sit
nation is increased by an extra demand
for money for public uses for one purpose
and another. There is clique in the city
which is represented in the board who
openly advocate a bond issue to make
money plenty. The fact will be admitted
that when debts are being increased money
is plenty. The pinch is felt when the time
comes to pay the debts

THAT PICTURE AND THIS.

The people of San Francisco are so ac-
customed to hear unpleasant things said
about their want Of progress that they
may take comfort from the plight in which
other cities are represented to be and ask
whether all is as bad as detractors strive
TO make out For instance, there is the in
terminable vilifcation of our streets as a
reproach TO civilization. even of the West
ern type, half-developed as the East fond y
imagines. Those who decry have theories
OF their own TO put in practice at the public
expense. but they have made a sad mess of
IL. with such exquisite samples OF bitumin-
Gus pavement as have been laid down.
This very plastic and viscous material
mas we'll earned its title of poultice. 1t has
happily not been universally adopted, and
has very slender prospect of being regarded
as model pavement. until the art of COM
pounding it and laying it well has not
The morning call., 1893-06-14

only been discovered but put in practice.
Some good specimens are said to exist in
Washington. The bitumen there used
comes from Trinidad. and is supposed to
have virtues far superior to those incorpo-
rated in the pavementS of several London
streets, like Cheapside, where the horses
are apt to fall. Under the system of con-
tract work followed in San Francisco the
best qualities of Trinidad would be more
than needed to achieve success.
But when the detractors have shrieked
their best about the miserable backward
ness Of this city in good streets, COM
parfson with other cities in America is to
our credit Washington may be left out
of consideration, as it Is not business
but residential city, and has no hard
wear and tear on its thoroughfares. We
are not worse than other centers and
are batter than most of them. In this
exhibition year Chicago might have been
expected to be on its good behavior in
clean, well-paved streets; but far from
that being the case it seems to have stirred
up the critical bile in a foreign visitor. who
denouuces it as the filthiest of cities. He
comes from Glasgow, too, the chief indus
trial city of Scotland. and must be assumed
TO know little about Slums and mud and
evil odors. Writing to the Glasgow Herald
he remarks about Chicago: mo city in
the world can equal it for the badness and
muddiness of Its streets. Not per cent
of the streets and roads is paved with any,
thing but deep mud and rough stone
boulders, tilted and heaved into every
possible level and position. Not per
cent of them have stone or asphalt side
walks. The sidewalks of the rest are
wooden plankways, most of them in vari-
Gus stages of dilapidation." Now, if this
correspondent were only to see San Fran
cisco on bright day, not too hot for the
patches of poultice here and there, apt to
soften into melting mood, he would be
charmed with the evidences of progress.
If we accept his word for what Chicago is,
the Golden City has redeeming features

LOOKING FOR PRECEDENT.

Judge Cooley has sought in vain for a
precedent for the annexation OF the Ha-
waiian Islands. He has examined num-
Der of cases, none of which present exactly
the same law points as the islands Con-
seQuently he thinks the annexation of the
islands as proposed Is unconstitutiona nal.
Judge Cooley evidently thinks the franz
ers of the constitution were inspired men.
Anything they could not discern in the
future and provide for must be wrong.

BUYING GOLD.

A correspondent who believes in the
single gold standard assures THE CALL
that the Treasury Department has author
ity to buy gold to redeem legal tenders
with. Our correspondent coufounds the
practices of the Treasury Department with
the letter of the law. The resumption act
requires the treasury to redeem legal ten
ders with coin, and to enable the treas
ury to do so authorized an issue of coin
bonds. at that time there were no silver
dollars in circulation. Three years later,
in 1873, the coinage of silver dollars
was ordered. and the dollars so coined
were declared legal tender for all public
dues. By the letter of the law all bonds
then became payable in gold or silver at the
option OF the treasury; but the treasury
has never availed itself OF the option to
pay in silver. An issue of bonds under
this old law would necessarily be a coin
issue, since the authority then given was
to issue bonds payable in coin. Butin view
of the fact that there Is no law which sup
plies the treasury with gold there is a
doubt If coin bonds would sell for gold at
the rate of interest now current. Money

THE PULPIT SPEAKS.

The Rev. c. A. Buckbes has done the
church and the people service. While
Eastern clergymen have turned the work.
ing people away from churches by the
bitterness Of their attacks upon the Chi
nese registration law Mr.. Buckbee has
told in temperate and graphic language
why Chinese are not welcome immigrants.
These reasons are not new TO readers of
The CALL. They refer to the fact that
the Chinese laborer is an exception from
all other laborers. To quote from Mr.
Buckbee:
The Chinese come as men. The few women
who are here are slaves, bought and sold for
lust. The family relation as 1t is held with US
isan anomaly among the Chinese.
One hundred thousand men without wives or
children Think of 1t.
Six thousand women II and such women /!
Think OF that
Can you build up towns, cities and States
with such population?
The inability of Europeans or Ameri-
cans who have families TO care for to COM
pete with these young and middle-aged
single men is apparent. AS Mr.. Buck bee
says. these 100000 Chinese laborers have
kept 100000 families out of the Slate.
