THE TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION.
NOVEMBER, 1894.

The Traffic Association is now workin Q
up its mem bership for the coming year.
There should be no serious trOu BILE. Al
ready many large mercantile houses have
pledged their continued su port. But
more are wanted. 1t is a case of the more
the merrier beyond the limits fixed by
business necessity. The history of what
the association has done is its best argu-
ment to induce the aid of the business
community. The opening of the Horn
route, the reduction of freight via Panama
and the now probable success of the Sa n
Joaquin Valley Railroad have gone far to-
ward the commercial emancipation of San
Francisco.
One point with the ASSOCIATION will be
to labor with the new Railroad Commits
sion to the end of securing lower local
tariffs. The fact that only one mem Der
known to be on the popular side was
elected TO the Commission makes the sue
cess Of the association on that line
predetermined. Yet something may be
done. The members from the Second and
Third districts repel the idea that they
will consult other than the public interest.
They are entitled TO a stay of Judgment
until the contrary is proved, and in the
meantime the association Can make the
situation clear to them from the peoples
standpoint.
But the valley road still remains the key
to the situation. Competition is more
powerful than any legislatures and COM
missions. The PROSPECTS now are of the
best. 1t is given out hat the stockholders
of other banks are prep ring to follow the
example of those of the Savings Union,
and that individual Subscribers have been
encouraged by example. From the people
OF, the valley come words showing how
deeply they are Interested IN the WORK
now going on here. Whenever San Fran
cisco has done its preliminary part the rest
will come easy. Now. then, is the time
for our business men 10 rally to the sup
port of the Traffic Association and start it
on the new year stronger than ever.

GETTING EVEN.

Premier Cecil Rhodes of Cape Colony
has cause of com alaint against the
United States. Mr.. Rhodes is engaged In
the business of mining for diamonds. and
finds diamonds so plentiful that to main
tain prices he has to restrict the output.
As enlarging the market has the same
effect as restricting the output, Mr.. Rhodes
expended $4,000 in advertising at the
Worlds Fair, and he says the only thing
he got In return was prohbltive duty.
Mr.. Rhodes free-trade principles give
way under this stress. He now wants free
trade only where the other party will also
consent to free trade. As duty is placed
on South African diamonds he thinks that
England would be justified in placing
duties on American wheat and cotton.
There is one point in the application Of
Mr.. Rhodes free-trade principles to ma
tional policies which Mr. Rhodes has over
looked. The United States can get along
very we'll without South African diamonds,
but England cannot get along we'll with
out American grain and American cotton.
A discriminating duty against these Amerl-
can products would result in a few years
in the home consumption of the small pro-
portion now exported. Instead of sending
wheat and cotton abroad we should con-
sumo the former and convert the latter
Into cloth. The men and women who
make the cotton into cloth would consume
the wheat. Nothing could suit the United
States better than to have Mr.. Rhodes
convince the English Government of the
wisdom of his policy.

STAGGERED.

The General Managers Association is
Strike Commission. It had not occurred
to the railroad people that the commission
could see things except through railroad
spectacles. The fact that it found the
managers usurping powers not granted TO
them has struck the managers with the
force OF a new experience. That the
managers association has lost its head
becomes evident in the reply of the
RGillrdy dye. managers organ. The
Age DIES ribed the report as a mass of
inaccuracies-a reply that might have
done snme service if the Age had not
pointed out one of the alleged mac
curacies That attempt to particularIze
was fatal mistake. Mr. Wright, chair
man of the commission, promptly points
out the testimony upon which the report
was based. As that testimony came from
one of the general managers. the Railway
Age will not, probably, persist in discred-
iIing it. The managers association should
prepare itself for little truth once in
willie. Most of the time il has things
pretty much It's own way. II can always
get its side of a controversy before the
public in the most Influential organs Of
public expression. o. the arguments that
have been made in courts in the past ten
years, nearly all have been on the railroad
side of the controversy. 1t is time, there
fore, that the other side should be pre-
sented, even if it causes a shock to the
corporation mind.

ROOM FOR MY LORD CARDINAL

The several members of Mr.. Clevsland's
Cabinet are discussing which of them is
most likely to be required TO create a va
cancy. 1t is rrotty generally admitted
that Chairman Wilson will step from Con-
gress into the Cabinet after the 4th of
March. Mr.. Wilson has within the last
year become man of too much import
ance to be, allowed either tn drift into pri.
vaie life or to be put off with a second
class Office. AS he fell a martyr to his de-
volion to free trade he will have an
especial claim upon the would-bs Demo-
cratic Moses who made the star of free
trade his guide. There are three places in
the Cabinet any of which may be prof
fered to the great endorsed as common
surate with his sacrifices. These are the
State. Treasury and Law departments.
In considering which of the present heads
of these departments should go the main
consideration is not which Mr.. Wilson
would best like TO succeed, but which can
best be spared. In this consideration of
the case Acknowledgement Olney acquires
certain prs-emlnence. Mr.. Olney might
be missed, but the public would become
reconciled TO his retirement. The mourn
ers over his departure would be the cor
porations he has so faithfully served.

THE FRUIT-GROWERS AT SAC
RAMENTO.

The Fruit-gro wers' Association will hold
a State convention at Sacramento this
week. 1t promises to be one # the most
Important conventions ever held by that
dy. 1t meets just at the close of a sea-
son which many had expected would b.
one of the best Tor that interest that had
ever been known. Every year the fruit
growers are confronted with a number OF
difficult problems. One is cheaper trans
pOrtaliou. The railroad companies have
made money on transportation while many
ruit-growers have no more than made
ends meet. and some have actually lost on
the years shipments. These and other
similar facts will be brought out at the
convention. The fTuit-growers of Ca for
mia have put a large capital into tn cir
business. 1t has paid them handsomely
in some odd years. 1t ought 10 pay well
right along. II ought to have yielded a
better margin this year. Tue great falling
off of Eastern fruit crops ana the large
yield In this State promised to make this
the golden year for the fruit-growers
Something will have been gained by set
ting forth all the reasons for the discrep-
ancy.
There appears to be no disposition to
restrict the area of fruit-growing. On the
contrary there will be probable increase
of the planting during the coming season.
The fruit-growers still expect to place
that interest on a solid payi basis.
There will be new methods of transport
tatlon, insuring cheaper rates and an I'M
proved condition of fruit when laid down
in distant markets. There may be changes
also In the methods of selling fruit at the
East. There is at present not much uni
formity about shipments and very little
about the sales. A part goes to the auc-
tlon.rooms and part to the outside com
mission merchants. The fruit exchanges
have accomplished some good work, but
not as much as had been outlined when
they were called into existence.
TIE battle is kept up with parasitical In
sects that still hold their own in many
laces. These are some of the subjects
that will invite discussion at the Fruit
growers Convention about to convene at
the capital of the State.

NORTH PACIFIC FISHERIES,

Thirty years have elapsed since the
Inauguration, as a commercial pursuit of
the Goldfish trade of the North Pacific The
beginning of this trade is traced to sim
pie incident. A trading vessel was return
ing from Russian Asia. Somewhere off The
coast Of Alaska the wind died away, and
there was nothing for the crew to do but
10 wall and fab. In both occupations
they were guile successful. and when the
sails again RESPONDED to the renewed
breezes they had quite number of codfi sh
on board. These were cleaned and sailed
and brought to San Francisco. That is
how an important business was started
Ever since 1866 vessels have been sent up
from this port 20 engage in these fisheries,
and with fairly good results. The number
employed from year TO year has varied
from five to twenty-one, while the average
for number of years has been about ten.
Only six were employed this year, but one
of these made two trips. and the seven
cargoes aggregated 969 900 fish. This is the
smallest mum Der in five years. The total
catch for the past thirty years is 30,O90, 800
fish-an average of 100000 fish DER an.
mum.
The prosecution of this industry has
been of advantage to California in several
ways. 1t has given employment 20 num-
Der Of small vessels and to a large numb Der
of people first in the catching and after
ward in the curing and disposition Of the
fish. 1t has put healthful article of food
within the means of thousands Of families.

In DEEP WATER.

At the last annual meeting of the di-
rectors of the Grand Trunk Railway Of
Canada, Sir Henry Tyler, president of the
company, said the financial situation of
the company is most serious. This condi-
ZION he attributed to the industrial depres-
sion in the United States. Under the
bonding system railway cars are permitted
TO carry goods between American towns
and the exemption of the Canadian road
from the requirements OF the American
interstate commerce law enables the Cana
dian road to carry freight at low rates be-
tween conn eting points and make up the
loss by high rates between non competing
points. The Canadian road is also free
from obligation to pay interest money or
dividends. Being to large extent Gov
eminent road, built for military and politi-
cal purposes, its mission is fulfilled when
il pays operating expenses. That compe-
titiOn is unfair between railroads that are
expected to pay their way and railroads
that are helped to the extent of their needs
by Government no one will gansay.
II is not unlikely that an effort will be
made 10 harmonic our navigation laws
with the laws or treasury rules under
which American goods are carried in bond
through foreign country and back to our
country. A foreign vessel cannot take a
cargo from San Francisco to New York.
but Canadian steamer is allowed to take
goods to a port in British Columbia, thence
by rail to New York or other American
point of distribution. Upon what prinei-
pie is part-water part-land route permit
ted to do what may rot be done over an all
- ~ n
have not always been wisely managed,
they are at all times ntitled to jus ice.
We protect the c0astwise trade by our
navigation laws prohibiting foreign vessels
to engage in 1t, but we permit subsidized
foreign road 10 do what foreign ships are
prohibited from doing. Tue English and
Canadian policy is to eXpe Government
money TO secure the carrying trade both
by sea and by land. The Government of
Canada has just placed loan in London
to be expended in deepening the St. Law
renee canals TO fourteen fees. When this
work is completed vessels drawing thirteen
feet OF water can go from Duluth or Chi
cago to tidewater upon the Atlantic with
out breaking bulk. To Offset the advan-
tage thus gwen the Canadian carrying
trade the Government of the United Seates
should build deep-water canals from the
lakes through our own terri DRY to the
Hudson. But the American Government
will do nothing of the kind. 1t has never
been committed TO that p licy. But if it
leaves private enterprise TO contend against
Government aided enterprise, it should
protect the carrying trade over land routes
as it protects the carrying trade by water
between American ports.
