those who had it were afraid to give II
out. There was general stagnation and
apathy.
The senator described the proceedings
in congress which resulted in the repeal
OF the Sherman act. and eaid be offered
an amendment that any man could take
his bullion to the mint and nave 1t
returned to him in silver dollars in the
ratio OF 16 to L, and believed it to have
been an experiment the country could
have afforded TO try, and would have
been an American policy. 1t would
serve notice on Europe that we might
20 farther in years to come. But the
decree had gone forth. No remedial
legislation could pass that congress-.
After describing the struggle in con-
gress over the tariff legislation, he re-
ferred to the policy OF protection and
it's advantages from his point OF view to
the country.
The duty, said the senator, is not a
tax, 1t is the Britsher and Welshman
who paid the duty and not the pro-
ducer. American labor must be pro-
tected. The repeal OF the Mckinley law
had not reduced the prizes Of anything.
The colonies of Canada and Australia
are the strongest protected nations in
the world. England has to go outside
Of its country for 80 per cent of its raw
material, while the United States has
95 per cent OF itB raw material at home.
The government said they would put
sugar on the Tree liet, but would give O
bounty to encourage the people to raise
their own sugar and keep $l15, 900 600 or
$120, 900, 600 at home. The industry
started up all over the country. At
Chino they are paying out $4,000 to
$4,000 per day for sugar beets. The fac
tories were built up on the promises
that for Is years the bounty should re.
main in force. The Democratic party
repealed the law.
The Democratic party in this state, he
admitted, has not been in favor of Chi
nese exclusion, and he attempted to
argue that because President Cleveland
had instructed Secretary Gresham to
| make new treaty with China, it was in
favor of that nation. He made patti
san analysis of the provisions OF the
treaty.

was introduced, and made short but
pleasant speech, which was more de-
fornia than it WAS to politics.
After the meeting an enjoyable recep-

Jonathan club.
OBSCURE LAWYERS.
Major J. A. Donnell, the Republican
candidate for district attorney, in his
speeches throughout the country refers
to Mr.. E. G. Bower. his opponent, as an
obscure man and lawyer with very lit
tie, if any, practice. Comparisons will,
in this case, prove odious. Major DON
nell is known ae a lawyer in the county
because he has sign out, but the regis
ter OF actions is not very comforting
record to pull on the major. He has
now been practicing law in Los Angeles
for several years, and according to the
register in the superior court, during the
past two and half years, has filed four
civil suits, one upon account, one upon
promissory note. one for foreclosure
! and one divorce. During the same time
| he has had one case in the supreme
court. The record speaks for itself and
the selfsatisiied and pompous major
should avoid references to obscure law
! yers. Plain people are accustomed to
consider such remarkH as he has made
80 unadulterated gall. of which it ia sus.
pected he has his share.
Mr.. Bower, the Democratic candidate
for district attorney, ia daily growing in
strength and popularity, and his chan ceo
for beating Major Dornell are excellent.
TILE coLoRED VOTERS.
| EDITORS HERALD:-I wish to have
published in your columns the following
remarks referring to the colored voters
of the county and city of Los Angeles.
Knowing whereof | speak, there are a
good number of colored voters who are
the man and not for the party.
They will not vote for nor endorse the
Republican platform as stated in an
issue OF the Eagle few days ago. The
editor, Mr.. j. j. Numore, said in his
paper that we, the league. had passed q
resolution that we would endorse
the Republican party's platform.
1 say that this is not the
voice OF the league. Knowing as l do
that the colored men of Southern Cali.
| fornia are looking for the betterment of
| their race, that they will never vote the
Republican ticket as they have in the
| past. / would like to say that there are
some coored men in Southern California
who will come out and declare them
selves, and az such | hope that we will
| be considered.
! Please permit me to call the attention
of my colored friends, and voters, to the
silver -tongued orator and his action at a
meeting in San Francisco September
2Sth. The ssid silver-tongued orator
and mouthpiece Of the colored voter of
San Francisco. T. B. Morton, did in a
meeting of Afro Americans, recommend
and propose to bolt the Republican
| party and caat their lot in future with
the Nom Partisan party, and his chief
reason was that the Republican party
had failed to fulfil their many promises
OF recognition of the colored race.
