lOWness Of the Republican pretensIous
Of love for the workingman. Pennsyl-
vania is the great stronghold Of
protection. and her Republican
politicians are the most I'M
compromising high tariff advocates.
BY high tariff hang all the law AMI the
profits. In every recurring political
campaign the workingmeR are elo-
ouently reminded that the tariff is for
their benefit alone, as II enables the
manufacturer to pay the Increased
wages OF American over foreign labor.
And yet these hypocritical howlers for
protection, while securing high tariff
on their manufactured products, had
their hired agents securing the
slums OF Europe and sending
to America the pauper labor against
which the much wanted tariff was sup
posed to be a sure protection. The
fact is simply this: A duty OF 90 per
cent. Is imposed on coke for the purpose
OF enabling she coke producer, as is
claimed by the Republican friends OF
the workingman, TO pay the increased
wages Of American over foreign labor.
Instead Of so using the protective duty
the coke producer has imported
cheap foreign laborers, has paid
them less than American labor can
possibly subsist upon and has put into
his own pockets the increaed profits
derived from the duty.
Pennsylvania Republican manuiac-
turers do not want imported coke, but
they DO want imported labor, and they
have it. Was thero ever more brazen by
pocracy?
Was there ever a better illustration
OF the claim that the Republican tariff
bred lords are clamorOus only for pro-
lection 10 their manufactured product,
for labor they want free trade.

j. EDWARD SIMMONS. President Of
the Fourth National Bank Of New
York, writing to she Engineering Nigga
zinc, notes with emphasis returning
confidence and business improvement.
Mr.. SIMMONS considers silver imitation
the principal cause of the panic, and
argues that now the currency Of the
country is on solid and substantial
basis, the first time for number Of
years. The United States offers the
highest interest and the best security
on investments, and the fact that for
eignsrs are investing again will re-
establish values and stimulate trade.
All we need is time 10 recover from the
terrible depression, and correct some Of
the evils that the vicious legislation
during the past thirty years, by Repub-
lican Congresses, has inflicted upon tho
country.

Frank Buonfatto Wounds Vincent
FufciO--Brutal Treatment of

Vincent Fufcio, Mexican laborer, was
shot and dangerously wounded late last
night during a stree etfight in front of Gio-

Fuicio and three companions. also Mex
leans, had spent the evening in a wine
cellar at the corner Of Kearny and Vallejo
streets. and at II o'clock started down the
hill They were half drunk and sang and
shouted as they proceeded.
RuSselli was entertaining four Italian
laborers in his cellar when the Mexicans
started from Kesrny street. The
latter were passing the door when the
quintet of Italians emerged therefrom.
One of them was jostled by Mexican.
and after an interchange OF Insults the two
parties fell upon each other and engaged
in one of the liveliest street fights that has
ever occurred in that iumuliuous district.
During the fracas OHe Of the MeXican ms
was Knocked seDselAss with brick, and
cuts and bruises were impartially dis
tributed The battle was nearing a crisis
when one of the Italians withdrew TO the
house steps leading to the cellar and fired
into the crowd.
The bullet struck Fufcio in the abdo-
men and he fed bowling from the melee.
A police whistle vas blown and hostilities
ceased.

Broadway and asked for assistance in sew

fell ON the sidewalk at the corner of
Kearny and Pacific streets, and there an
officer found him and sent him to the Re-
ceiving HOspi al.
Sergeant Whitman and several police
men secured the neighborhood for a long
time before they found any one who was

THE PACIFICS WIN.
Excellent Cricket Match
at Berkeley.
Good Fielding on Both Sides the
Feature OF the Game-Tiede-
mann's Gallery Catch.

The Pscifc-Bohemian match played at
klinknervllle was, as anticipated, a most
interesting contest. The fielding was un-
usually smart on both sides, and the Pa
eiiic's victory may fairly be attributed to
this side of their play.
The Pacifics lost the toss-as when dc
they not ?-and were nut in. Captain
Theobald and Griffith gave an excelleni
display of defensive batting, and had not
the latter been a little erratic i'm his iudg.
ment of running, both their scores might
have been largely increased Marsh
Browne followed and put up 33 in able
form. but his was the last stand made.
Robertson about that time seeming to find
his pitch.
When the B0hemiaus took the field, with
an exact century staring them In the face,
their caDt lin played as if determined to
win off his own bat, and in fact he con-
trihued almost a quarter Of this total.
But his efforts were not vel supple
mented by the rest of the team, with the
exception of Sheath. who scored % with
easy nonchalahce.
There were two "star plays" in the
game that richly deserve mention. Oae
was Tiedenann's catch of Warren after a
hard run and with fall in the deep
field; the other was Reeves "throw OUT
of Griffiths.
Although at the conclusion of the
first innings The game was virtually over.
the Pacifics filed up time by going 10

MORE SALTY THAN the DEAD SEA.
A Ton OF Great salt Lake water Holds

Water Of the Great Salt lake varies
