Letter From q Sacramentan on His
Way to New York.
The following letter from James G.
Stewart. late of this city. who is now on
his way by steamer to New York, en-
route to bonny Scotland, will be of inter-
est to his many friends here:
On BOARD THE STEAMER SAN JOSE, I
July 5, 1894.
EDS. RECORD UNION: After six days
pleasant sail we arrived yesterday at the
Mexican town of San Bias. A couple of
Spaniards and myself went ashore, and
spent a few hours looking around. 1t is
an exceedingly primitive looking place,
the houses being all built either OF adobe
or reeds.
We played billiards, drank mescal, and
went to cafe. Excuse the word, as it
cannot compare TO the Saddle Rock, but
we were well waited on. as there were, |
am certain, ten girls around the table. |
cannot say much about the menu, al
though / did enjoy it. it was composed
OF baked beans, cheese and chile.
l would recommend any one who has
time at his disposal, and contented
mind, to take this trip if they are going
either to New y ork or Europe. 1t is full
of pleasure. and any one who can stand
the heat of a California summer need not
be afraid OF the heat anywhere on the
west coast of either North or South
America
All the passengers are complaining of
the heat, both Spauiards and Americans,
but | am going about the deck, clothed as
always was in Sacramento, and do not
lind 1t oppressive.
We have EoJ many passengers-about
twenty-five cabin and forty steerage.
Most of the former are going to the ports
OF Guatemala or san Salvador. Most of
the steerage ones are going to New ork.
Yesterday being July 4th, we had a
good time at dinner. There are ten
United States seamen on board, who are
time-expired men going to New York.
They are fine fellows, and. for their class,
the most intelligent ever met. In order
that they could enjoy the Fourth | con-
trlbuted to their mess bottle of Sacra-
mento whisky and box of cigars that
bought for one dollar Mexican money in
San Bias. | changed So gold piece there,
and got in return nine Mexican dollars.
So if an article here costs one dollar, it is
only fifty cents OF American money.
We expect to make Manzanillo about 2
o'clock to-day. and will likely remain till
10 tonight. l believe it is great place
to purchase cigars. We got excellent ci-
gars at San Bias for 81 80 (American
money! hundred, and if they are
cheaper than that at ManZanillo | will
take into consideration the necessity of
carrying pipe.
The Captain does not expect to reach
Panama till the 23d inst, so | have still
long time to remain on board. | will, as
we go along, send few lines

on the Record Union.''
EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: In expressing
my approval of the course the RECORD
UNION has taken in the recent railroad
strike | only voice the unqualified SEN
timent of all the home-loving citizens OF
this community who have brains enough
to think for themselves and are not led
astray by the big dailies of San Francisco,
which have displayed the most pitiful
cowardice in giving aid and comfort to
that which led to murder and the Wanton
destruction of property.
The loud sayings which the demagogues
have been using against the RECORD
UNION by charging it in being run
wholly in the interest of the railroad are
fast dying out. and should never have
had any life. l have been reader of the
RECORD UNION for many years, and |
have always found it working hard in
the interest of the homo and good gov
ernment.
l believe, and cannot help believing,
that if the daily papers of San Francisco
had taken the honest stand in this USE
less strike that the RECORD UNION did,
Mr.. Clark and the four brave soldiers
would not be in their graves to-day. /
can discern no difference between the
crime of those who directly perpetrated
the inhuman deed and those who had the
power TO prevent it and failed TO do SO.
1t stands TO good reason that a cowardly
press which gives aid and comfort to the
lawless is a breeder of crimes, and all
who aid and support such factor of
crime are to some extent responsible for
its evils. For one, what news l cannot
get in brave moral journals | will do
without from now on. Some six months
ago tried all of the SAND francisco dailies
and found them cowardIy and dishonest.
With the RECORD UNION l am we'll
pleased, and 1 never fail to induce others
TO do as l have done in selecting good
honest journal that is always battling ON
the side OF good morals and stable gov
ernment. w.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.


The Pacific Improvement Company has res
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres Of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settles
ment This land embraces lands from first-
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered as
from SO to $50 per acre, In subdivisions os
40, so, 12o, 16o and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They Will be sold in
subdivisions, as above Indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only Tor three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment CE
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of z per cent. per annun,
making payments extending over q period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands. suitable for general farming, and es-
pecialIy adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from 500 to
$500 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands TO actual settlers result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase Of this
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
For further particulars. call upon or ad-
dress WIN. n. MILLS,

THE AFTERMATH
Chief Results of the Recent Senseless
LOS Angeles Times.


Among the chief results OF the strike
will be that many thousands of mis-
guided men who had steady employment
at good wages will find themselves out OF
d job. and at such times as this, when
business is depressed all over the coun-
try, it is not an easy thing to get employ
ment. Indeed, the fact that this strike
should have been inaugurated Just when
there was such general depression in
business throughout the country, and
when many establishments were on the
point of closing down, is, perhaps, the
most extraordinary and unreasonable
feature of the whole affair. Ii it had
taken place at time when manufacturers
and capitalists were making money fast,
it might have been explicable, although
not excusable.
Another result of the strike will be to
cause many manufacturers to restrict
their business, or even to close down
altogether, while good many capitalists
who were on the point OF investing in
new enterprises will certainly not do so
at present, nor can they be blamed for it.
There are two great lessons to be
learned from this strike, one by members
of labor organizations and the other by
the rest of the people of the United States.
The first ls-and it is one which should
have been learned long ere this-that the
true workingman has everything to lose
dLu W gain ny pldClIS ulIuoSlI
under the direction of such irresponsible
demagogues as Debs. Whether the strike
wins or fails, the workingman is bound
to be the loser, while the labor leader is
bound to be the winner. 1t is like play
ing game with loaded dice, and, as we
have said, the American workingman,
who is by no means a fool, ought to have
discovered this long ago.
The second lesson which should have
been learned by the people of the United
States at large is that in such cases as
this, it will not do to temporize with dem
agogues, who compose these labor lead
ers, and who do not really represent
more than a very small fraction OF the
laboring men. 1t should teach the people
of this country that The boycott has been
carried too far ana must cease. Webelieve
that the people of the United States have
learned these lessons pretty thoroughly,
and that should such an affair as this
come up again there will be little inclina-
ton to temporize with boycotters on the
one hand or TO criticise the Government
for asserting the majesty OF the law on
the other hand.
Meantime we ask again: What good has
the present strike accomplished?

STRONGER THAN EVER.

a PUERILE WEAPON,
Pasadena Star.l

Organized labor, conceded to be
mighty power in the land. has made no
combined and systematic effort to secure
its ends through the ballot-box. If the
labor unions are strong enough to over
come their enemies by such a strike as
that now prevailing, why are they not
strong enough TO accomplish peaceful
revolution by means of the ballot? The
boycott is puerile weapon IN compari-
son with the ballot.

Cost of the Miners strike in Ohio.

NOSG OF Cu6 NIU6r1S SIFIINe III OHIO.
It will cost Ohio pretty penny to pay
the expenses OF her State troops engaged
in protecting property from striking coal
miners. Captain Hiestand Of Governor
McKinley's staff thinks that the total ex
pense to the State will not be less than
Sl25, 900. while other think that it will
reach 100000. The State officials will
have to make special arrangements to
meet the deficiency, as the money cannot
be paid out of the State Treasury for the
services and expenses of the militia until
it has been appropriated, which cannot
be done until the next Legislature in
1896 1t is suggested by State Treasurer
Cope that in order to be able to pay the
State troops the State should get sorne
one to carry notes for the full amount of
the expense at reasonable rate of inter-
est until the next Legislature meets.

The farmer sows because he has conf
dence that he will reap. But along comes
the demagogue and insists that the rights
of labor demand that the ground must be
plowed with a spade and the crop har-
vested with the scythe and fail. The
demagogue points to PLETHORA OF labor,
and insists that machinery is an enemy
of labor. The argument is plausible and
the farmer thinks it is logical; but his
confidence in his ability TO SOW and reap
any profit without machinery is de-
stroyed. He buys no land, sows nothing
and keeps his money in his pocket. Thus
the demagogue destroys the source of the
golden egg. Capital is too tlmld and
cowardly to survive strikes, and hence IN
the long run labor is never benefited by
general strikes.
