OUR SENIOR SENATOR.

When freed from the entauglements of
foreign alliance Senator White makes a
pretty good protective tariff speech. When
he is simpl Y a Californian he pleads for
the protection of Californian industries
This shows that his heart is in
the right place. But when he be-
comes just a plain Democrat he is
for free trade. This shows that his
head is in the wrong place. If protection
is good for California. may it not also be
good for Louisiana, for Alabama and for
Ohio? II it is good for large mum Der of
States, can Mr. White be certain that it
would not be good for all the States? The
debate in Congress. in caucus and before
committees on the Wilson Tariff bill is the
most effective campaign of education that
has ever taken place in this country. 1t is
effective bee ause debaters like Mr.. White.
who think they are free-traders, have pre-
sented unanswerable arguments against
the bill. Democratic Representatives from
half dozen different States are certain
that the Wilson bill will greatly injure
their industries. Now even in a debating
duel, when the affirmative begin TO advance
arguments in support of the negative, the
negative debaters feel that If speech is sill
yer silence is golden. Some of the ablest
Democrats in either house are now telling
the committee why the Wilson bill should
not pass. Under these conditions all the
Republicans have TO do is to keep still and
draw their salaries.

THE GOOD OF HARD TIMES.

The Seattle Post IntelligeRcer has dis
covered connection between hard times
and religious revIvals. When mans
body gets in bad way his soul asserts
itself. Such at least was the case in 1857,
in 1873 and there are indications that the
hard times of 1898 will produce like results.
The same journal finds that the normal
human thirst becomes less unquenchable
when times are hard. 1t is presumed TO
be the same with other more or less eX-
pensive vices. When there is enough for
than fair share. But when one must be
pinched. beer is selected as the element of
happiness which can best stand the pinch
ing process. 1t is a fact that the average
man is easily scared when times are hard.
MN who have never thought it necessary
10 put by part of their earnings in good
times have been known to begin when
work became hard to get. A low diet is
suggestive. Ii reaches the intelligence
with more force than sermon on the
virtue of abstemiousness. The man feels
In his bones that he is not boss of the silu-
alton. He begins to think of the number
of good things he could buy with the last
i've dollars be fooled away. He magines
the comfortable feeling snug sum in
Dank would give him. The trouble always
is 10 tide over. Very hard times do not
last long. Consumption gradually over
takes production. If the man can wait he
will be all right when the spoke in the
wheel he is cliaging to begins TO move up.

ShORT-SIGHTED RAILROAD MAG
MATES.

Traffic Man ager Leeds holds the opinion
that one reason why the transcottinental
roads have not built competing railroad
into San Francisco instead OF going north
and south for access to the coast is that
they fear the great future If this city in
dominating he trade of the Pacific by sea.
When San Francisco asserts itself, as some
day IL must, it will be relatively a greater
emporium on this SIDE of the continent
than New York is on the other. and Mr..
Leeds thinks that the railroads are appre-
hensive about the effect on the long haul
overland. Ii this is the operating motive
for avoiding San Francisco ii is surely
short-sighted. How many other great
ports are there in the world with splendid
railroad service? New York, Boston.
Philadelphia, London. Liverpool, New
castle. Glasgow, Bristol. Antwerp and
Hamburg have gained by their admirable
facilities of TRANSPORTATION by land and
sea. So would San Francisco. The State

EX-GOVERNOR DoWNEY.

Ex-Governor DowDey was one of the
historical figures OF this State. 1t is some
years since he ceased to take a prominent
part in public affairs, but the older resi-
dents still remember the time when he
held the future of the city in his hands.
The so-called bulkhead bill had been car
red through the Legislature and it re-
NAMED with Governor Dpwney to sign it
or to veto it. 1t was the most corrupt
measure ever sprung upon our people,
whether we consider the magnitude Of the
proposed steal or the methods employed
to carry 1t through the two houses. The
people OF this city who saw through the
proposition, who comprehendeG the con-
sequence of handing over the water front
TO bano of Spectators. held their breath
while the Governor had the bill under con-
slderatioD. The moral atmosphere of the
capitol was not so low as to allow the pro-
meters OF the bill to hope to carry it over
the Governors veto. More than one-tbird
were known to be undpproachabIe. Gov
ernor D0wney vetoed the bill and saved
the city. The conspirators threw IN their
hands. TIE audacious proposition was
dropped. There were hundred good for
tunes in 1t, but the will of one honest and
brave man could not be overcome. When
Governor Downey visited the CITY shortly
after he was given a reception which has
rarely been equaled in display and never
eXcelled in enthusiasm. He was met at
the steamboat bv the representative men
of the city. A great torchlight procession
escorted him through The principal streets.
Nothing was left undone to show how
highly the people appreciated the services
he had rendered them.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF CURRENCY

A Chico correspondent asks If green
backs. treasury notes and silver certificates
are redeemable in gold. Greenbacks are
by law payable in coin. but the custom of
the Treasury Department has been to give
hol1ers of greenbacks the option as to
which kind of money greenbacks shall be
redeemed in. Treasury notes are also paw
able in coin. They were issued in paw
ment of silver bullion purchased under
the act of July IA, 1890. commonly called
the Sherman act. They circulate at their
face value, the same as green backs, though
there have been limitations from time to
time that being issued IN payment of silver
bullion, the Treasury Department might
redeem them in silver.
Silver certificates, as THE CALL has re-
Gently said, represent silver coin I'm the
treasury. When presented for redemp-
ton the silver coin is paid out dollar for
dollar They are not. like green backs and
treasury notes. a general Govern m emit
promise to pay. but a promise to return a
specific amount of silver coin held against
them. As the Government is required by
law TO receive silver dollars for all dues.
and as certificates are interchangeable
with silver dollars, the silver certificate
clrculaies at its face value in gold. But it
Is not by law redeemable in gold.
Seigniorage, as The CALL has recently
said. is simply the profit arising from coin
age. In tie case of silver he bullion
value has varied from IS cents an ounce.
the highest price in the year 1892. to as
cents in June, 1898 As the Government
coins silver at the rate of 81 % an ounce.
the difference between the bullion rice
and the coinage price Is profit, otherwise
seigniorage.

CUTTING DOWN SALARIES.

The Los Angeles Herald proposes a gen.
eral reduction of salaries now received BY
the officials of that county. The Peoples
party. the Herald says. are considering a
proposition to pledge their candidates 10 a
volun airy reduction equal TO one-half the
present rate. The Herald considers one
half quite enough ana that as good men
will serve under the reduced salaries as
under the present That journal reasons
in this way:
With salaries reduced 10 proper figures, the
people would have some voice In the selection
OF candidates. whereas now the Offices are too
often filled by selfseekers or by political bosses
who expect to share IN the plumber. AT present
seeking office and holding office are entirely
mercenary operations. the credir or honor of

Mr.. j. c. Wilmerding. The full amount

be good thing for the prospects of the
