THE TARIFF OF 1916.
The PHILADELPHIA Record saws:


When the financial Revision took place in
the late summr OF 1857 no one at that time
was so hardy as to attribute the event to The
tariff. The crash fell like "a bolt from the
blue" in a season OF unbounded prosperity.
Exports and imports had increased by leaps
and bounds.
Between the year 1916 and the year 1857
the imports we're steadily in excess of ex-
ports. In 1647 there was a balance Of
S34, 317, 249 in our favor, but after that date
the EXCESS of imports was uninterrupted.
In 1854 and again in 1855 the excess OF i'm
ports was over $50, 100000. In 1857, the
year of the collapse, the excess was over
s54.OOO.0O0 The entire excess of imports
in the eleven years named was a little
more than $3.50, 900. COO. This was larger
drain upon the country relatively than it
would be now. The foreign trade was but
a little more than half as large at the end
of the period when il had advanced by
"leaps and bounds" as it is at present
From 1853 to 1861 the excess of imports
was over S12O.OO0.000. During the war
and until 1876 the imports continued to
exceed exports. Then followed twelve
years OF excess of exports In 1879 the
excess was 1854, 661, 66G. sum in excess of
the total exports along in the ffties. If
the causes of the revulsion of 1857 were
not discovered 1t was because of deusion
which prevailed that an excess of imports
was sign of prosperity. There are peo-
pie who think so now. But when we re-
fleet that the balance has to be paid in
coin the power which propelled the ''bolt
from the blue" becomes defined. We had
sent abroad all our money, including the
large amounts of gold sent East from
California. Ii we get another tariff like
that of 1916 the chances are that there will
be no second California TO help the nation

SAVINGS-BANK DEPOSITORS.

A correspondent who gives his name and
address writes that he has been informed
by certain depositors in the Peoples
Home Bank that their accounts had been
settled in full A certain legal firm was
employed by all the fortunate depoSitors.
The bank claims TO have paid half mil
lion to depositors. though not one-half
that sum has been paid out on pro rata
basis. Our correspondent INDUCES in
some severe comment upon the practices
which enable one legal firm to collect sc-
counts In full while others are unable to
collect much of anything. He says:
Highway robbery is an honorable vocation
compared to this. We do not trust our earn
Ings TO highwaymen, and in dealing with them
we have the right of self.cefense. In This case
we are bound and plundered by persons claim
lug to be gentlemen. l earnestly ask The
CALL, "Wnat shall we DO about it?" 1 would
be glad 10 have an opportunity TO prove the
statements l have made by the sworn testi-
mony OF my infoImants.
THE CALL suggests that It's CORE
spondent put himself in communication
with the Grand Jury. That body wants
facts that can be demonstrated. We as
sumo that it proposes to probe to the
bottom of the Home Bank iniquity with
out regard to consequence to individuals.
The charge that lawyer recently en-
gagged In looking into the affairs OF the
bank had newspaper at his disposal will
not intimidate the Grand Jury. The only
danger that body is exposed to is in not
doing its duty. 1t is not the depositors
only who are watching the jury. 1t is the
men and women who have millions on de-
post in other sayings-banks 10 this city.
They want to know whether or not the
law affords them protection. They know
that il has not in the case OF the Pacific
Bank and the Home Savings Bank and
they want to know how it will be with
other banks. That the other banks are
we'll managed at present IS not enough.
People who put money in banks want to
know that the machinery Of justice is
strong enough 10 enforce laws made for
the protection Of the lives and property of
our people

END OF THE BLYTHE CASE.

When an estate like the Blythe estate
gets into law, it rarely happens that it is
wound up within the lifetime of the orlgi-
nal litigants. 1t usually follows the ex-
ample Of Jarndyce VS.. Jarndyce; like the
contest which was begun by Mrs. General
Gaines when she was Young blooming
belle, and which ended when she was a
lettering old woman; it generally figures
as cause celebre for two if not three gen.
erations. The Blythe case is an exception.
The man calling himself Blythe, whose
name was really William died Oh the 4th of
April, 1883, and now in April, 1894. bis
estate is in a fair way of being distributed.
The property consists of the Blythe block,
bounded by Geary, Grant avenue and Mar
ket street. $4,000 acres of land in San
Diego County and million acres more or
less in Mexico. OF these the only portion
which represents present money is the
Blythe block, and this cannot be made to
yield its proper income without a large
expenditure in building. The San Diego
and Mexican properties are not con sdered
particularly valuable at the present time,
though they may turn out TO be worth
something,

BRING HIM TO TRIAL.

The theatrical profession owe it to their
respectable members to bring Charles
Coghlan to trial for bigamv. II will not be
well for the profession to let the idea 60
abroad that members of it are either above
or beneath the law. Neither will actors
and actresses be advanced in public esti-
nation should the general conclusion be
, that the marriage ceremony is held in such
light esteem that 0igamy is not regarded as
an offense. In the news columns of
Wednesdays CALL a st. Louis dispatch
was printed as follows:
As to Miss Kubne Beverage, Miss Coghlan
said: 81 do not know who she is, as ! never
asked my brother. l have never recognized
her as my brothers. wife and l never will. Mr..
Coghlan never had but one wife. and that lady
is still living"
OF course Mr.. COghlsn never had but
one wife. that one being still living, but
the fact is known that lie went through
the marriage ceremony with Kuhne Bever-
idge. That the victim of that ceremony
believed that she was being united to a
man who had 30 wife living is Dresuma-
Bile. Now the girl is coolly disposed OF on
the ground that the ceremony did not
make her wife. 1t is sometimes said
that the public have nothing 10 DO Win the
private life of an actor or an actress. But
the public are interested in enforcing laws
designed to protect innocent parties from
Hbertines and adventuresses. OF course
Miss Cogllan is not expected to take a
high moral view of the question raised by
her brothers second marriage The case
only interests her as it may affect the pro-
fessional fortunes of the Coghlan the
atrical firm. But ether members of the
profession and the public at large have
something to say. Ordinarily when man
openly commits bigamy be exposes him.

Assessor Siebe has got tar enough along

to be certain of decrease in last years
figures. 1t would be strange if there were
not. The gospel OF ehsapness has spread
rapidly the past year. If The stores and
warehouses were filled with the same
quantity and quality of goods as last year
their assessable value would be less. 1t is
not so much that the volume of business
has decreased as that goods of all kinds
are sold for less money. The one item OF
general expense that has not fallen is
taxes. That is the one field of activity
which the gospel of cheapness has not yet

sion act nor the right OF any Chinaman 10 APP

or even temporarily in our country, TO seek the
protection OF our laws and to lest the validity
of any law attempted TO be enforced against
them. The treaty, therefore, cannot prevent
the question from being again raised and con-
sidered. Now imagine the Supreme Court OF
the United States with the constitptionality of
The act again before it for decision writing an
opinion something like this: "The Congress OF
the United States has limited legislative
powers. The constitution gives it no power to
enact a law requiring Cinnamon to register,
and il they neglect or refuse 10 do so TO deport
them; but we find that recent treaty has been
made and ratified whereby the Government of

United States legislative powers not conferred
by our own constitution, and though this
treaty was not in existence when the Geary

active and renders the act constitutional. The
prisoner is remanded TO The custody Of the

make such an argument before that or any
other court. No court could be deceived or
