ACT NOW

The attention OF every business man
and every property owner in Los Angeles
should be directed to the report OF Chief
Moore, published in another column of
this mornings issue. With such condi-
tion of affairs as he reports the danger to
life and property cannot be estimated.
Great bodies move slowly, so it is said.
but our fire commissioners would do well
in this instance to give the old proverb
the lie. San Francisco was repeatedly
warned OF the deficiencies of its protec.
ton against fire in some portions of the
city. The fire commi issioners moved
slowly in the matter, as became their
greatness. 1t took 81 900, 600 fire to con-
vince the people that their fire chief was
not talsing through his helmet. Great
fires do not come by seasons, neither do
they give timely warning of their advent,
ana therefore while the buildings in the
unprotected districts of Los Angeles are
not yet on fire, it is well to take precau-
tions for their preservation right now.
This Is a matter that does not require
much thinking over. Action is better.
Act now,
The herald., 1895-07-18

received the ssal of reviving industry and
the endorsement of advancing wage
scales. Even if the act of 1894 is not all
that it should be, it is as much better
than the act which it displaced as a half
loaf of bread is superior to no loaf at all.
And it completely demolishes in its prac-
tcal results the protectionist plea that
industrial prosperity is the child OF re-
stricted trade, and absolutely negatives
the Republican prediction that disaster
and destruction would walk in the tail
of reduced taxation. The qualification
and inconsistency is to be found in those
Republican journals which are today
ascribing.the return of prosperity to the
fact that the act of 1894 is conservative
measure, substantially protective in char
ter, and which less than year since
denounced it in lurid phraseology as a
rabid free trade enactment that would
permanently reduce wages and send the
industries of the United States down to
eternal damnation.

Profit in Coming Small Pieces

New York Post-Exp1ess: One OF the
most profitable occupations of tie United
States government is found in the coin
age of scent nickel pieces and 1-cent
bronze pieces. The cost of bronze disks
from which the cents are stamped is
about 90 cents per pound, and a pound of
them produce STAG. Nickel ready for
coinage costs 80 cents per pound, and d
pound produces Sab in Scent pieces.
The average profit of seigniorage IN the
coinage of these minor coins for the past
few years has been about $3.50, 900.
There is a profit, and considerable
one, in the coinage of subsidiary silver
coin. but owing to the fact that the
United States owns several million ounces
of bullion. which was purchased at the
prevailing high rate OF $780, the profit in
that species of coinage is not as great as
it would be if the government should 20
into the open market today and buy silver
at it's market value for this purpose.
There is big demand at the treasury
department for bright new coins OF all
denominations. Almost every request
that is received from banks in variou S
sections of the country for subsidiary
coins asks that bright new coins be sent.
Every month the street car com panies
and banks of the capital city turn into
the treasury large quantities OF nickels,
dimes and quarters, for which they re-
ceive IN turn paper money OF large de-
nominations. OF course the money thus
redeemed is not new" and there is no
demand for it. The result is that there
are large quantities of such subsidiary
coin IN the vaults of the treasury, and it
is impossible to get into circulation.

teen minutes earlier than their time at
the Arcade depot, and for the accommo-

trains, except the l p. m. flyer, will stop
at Winthrop and University, but none of
the trains, except the regular weekday
tram, will stop at points between Univer-

WILL PROTECT THEMSELVES
The Ticket Brokers Object to Southern
Pacific Practices
A Talk With Two of the Fraternity Upon
Spoilers and the Taking Up and
Retention OF Tickets

ever since the day that Governor
Budd vetoed the anti-scalpers bill, the
Southern Pacific railroad has been cam D.
ing hot on the trail of the ticket BOXERS. !"
This was said by one OF the fraternity
yesterday afternoon to a Herald man,
"and," it was added, 1--WE propose to get
| down to business and see if we can cor
rect some of the more fagrant wrongs tu
which we are subjected by that corpora
ton"
1t seems that a COMMITTEES appointed by
the local division of ticket brokers waited
upon Chief of Police Glass yesterday
morning to request his aid in putting a
stop to the alleged "spotting" that is
going on. Harry R. Dufin was found
in the Office of Seilmar Magnus, and both
men talked calmly but firmly upon the
situation.
'As ticket brokers we have two main
grievances, was said. From the mo-
ment we open our doors for business un-

OF a spotter.
Contrary to popular belief, scalping

called upon Chief Glass, who told us tnat
he was aware that we had been putting

AGAIN, SEE US GROW

Los Angeles had good reason for con-
graduation when one year ago buildings
were being erected at the rate of five and
one-half per day. Since that time it has
been one continued series OF record break
ing in the building line.
Last week made a new record of sew
enty-seven permits issued. This is at the
rate of about thirteen new buildings a
day for the six working days. or an even
eleven a day for the entire week. Every
progressive city has its calamity howlers.
and Los Angeles is no exception. 1t is
difficult for some folks to understand how
q city can grow, and grow, and grow, and
give no intlmation of its intention to
stop growing, and all the while other Sec
tions of the country practically standing
still. The past two years have been the
most serious from a business standpoint
that this country has seen in many a
year. However. for Los lAngeles there
has been no panic unless We put another
construction on the meaning of the word
panic ard say that we have had build
ing panic. But even then the word panic
is out OF place, for the growth of Los
Angeles has been a healthful one. and
buildings have not gone up any faster
than the demand required.
While during the past year we have
seen the plans completed for a goodly
number of business blocks which are a
credit to the city, it is in the large num-
ber of residences that we have most reason
to congratulate ourselves. For the most
part the houses that have gone up are
built and to be occupied by the owner,
and in a great many instances the own
ers are new comers. Every house erected
by a new resident represents just so much
additional capital TO the city. 1t is that
much money brought from the east and
put in circulation here.
Under some circumstances the remarka-
tile growth of Los Angeles might be an un-
healthy one. However. so long as our
growth continues to be of the same char
acter as in the past, we have every reason
for congratulation rather than alarm.
Los Angeles is destined to become the
great city of the Pacific coast, and her re-
markable growth during the past ten
years only proves the rapid steps she is
taking toward the goal. Though it un-
doubtedly will be broken. we do not need
to break the record of last week to soon
step neck and neck with San Francisco.

REACHING FOR A STRAW

The frantic organs of drowning Repub-
llcanism are now ciutching at..the fancied
straw OF Democratic Inconsistency. Whole
reams of good white paper are being uis-
figured with fimsy editorial attempts to
demonstrate that in awarding to the
tariff measure of 1894 the credit due it,
the Democrats who were dissatisfied with
that measure are stultfying themselves.
In these efforts there is evidenced that
innocence of discrimination andIIndiffer-
ence tosfact that are distinctly and pecu.i-
ariy Republican. The real Democrats,
headed by President Cleveland, who
denounced the compromises and conces-
sions of the last tariff act at the time of
its adoption. have nothing to retract to-
day. They feel now, as they felt then that
it was good as far as it went, but that it
stopped far short Of an adequate redemp-
tion of Democratic pledges and a COM
plete fultillment of the peoples demands.
To the measure that it was responsive to
the latter il has justified the Democratic
theory and realized popular expectations.
That the last tariff revision was less radi-
cal than demanded by the Democratic
platform of 1892 was not the fault of the
Democratic house and president elected
in November of that year. The bill as it
came from the house OF represen tatives
had the approval of the administration
and the party in general, though not, of
course. altogether meeting the desires of
those Democrats who have advanced far
enough in the study of the science of tax
alton to realize the cold, unalterable fact
that there can be no such thing as free
trade so long as any tariff remains; and
that there can be no scheme OF taxation
30 unequal, therefore unjust, and so un-
scientific, therefore unnatural, as a tariff,
the direct tax on consumption and the
indirect tax on production. But the bill
Ms it entered the upper house of congress
was reasonably acceptable to the bulk of
the Democratic party and the mass of the
American people, and constituted a most
substantial advance on the road of tax re-
form. 1t was in the senate, controlled by a
majority of members elected previous to
1892 and therefore not in sympathy with
the great tariff reform wave that swept the
party of special privilege out OF power.
that the mutilaton that excited the indig-
nation of loyal Democrats occurred. The
Democracy that demanded radical re-
formation of the tariff OF 1892 has bee n
vindcated and sustained by the results of
the concession that were made to those
demands. Their contention thai freedom
Of trade is the parent of prosperity has
