HOW TO STIMULATE EXPORTS

A communication to The Herald from
Mr.. W. A. Selkirk OF San Bernardino ap-
peared in yesterdays issue under veya-
tious he yidinc. II wrote How to tmu-
late Exports, not experts, Us the
types had it. In Justice to so admira BE
an analysis ana Iefutation of the free sill
yer arguments of Senator Teller, and in
fear lest the misleading caption given the
communication maylave deferred readers
from its perueal, we reproduce the salient
points of the article:
1.-THE part of tie interview which par
ticularly attracted my attention is that in
which a comparison is instituted be-
tween our country and Mexico, and the
declaration is made that cheap silver en-
courages exports from the countries
which use it to those which adhere to
the gold standard.
This latter proposition is incontro-
vertibly sound. And no finer demonstra-
ton could be selected than by compari-
son between the United States and
Mexico. Tbs senator is mislnformel or
misapplies fact when he says of the
Mexicans that In exchange for their ex-
potts they receive gold, with which they
purchase cheap silver. coin it ana PUT it
into the currency of their country with
the same purchasing power that it had
thirty years ago The delusive error is
that the Mexican producers do not, as is
implied, sell their exports for gold. They
sell tor half value dollars at the same
Fate that they received in full value dol
lars thirty years ago.
1T is the investors from gold standard
countries who purchase with their gold
Mexican dollars at 80 cents each and in
vest them in Mexican products at their
par value. and then sell in gold standard
countries on gold basis in com petition
with those who buy on the same basis as
that upon which they make their sales.
This is big thing for those purchasers
Manifestly to the extent that Mexico can
supply the products that market will be
preferred and msnifestly to this extent
exports will be encouraged
1.-The same rule that applies to gold also
appl les to our American standard dollar.
because it is our established policy 20
OF our dollars, compared with which
thirty years ago the Mexican dollar com
manded a premium, will now purchase
in Mexico two Mexican dollars, which in
Mexico, as the senator truly declares,
have the same purchasing power that
they had thirty years ago. Thus we have
the anomaly OF 4121a grain dollar buy.

Stag Dinner

Mr.. L. D. Mnthuss entertained num-
Der of gentlemen at his home on West
Seventh street last night with an elabo-
rate dinner in celebration of his BIRTH
day. Covers were laid for fourteen. A
large banquet lamp occupied the center
of the ia BILE and scattered around its hase
were fragrant carnations OF the deepest
red which mado striking contrast to the
yellow bowl of the lamp and the large
yellow shade that sottened the rays OF
light. The large mirror on the mantel
was embedded in yellow chrysanth EN- ums
and over the table ropes OF snilax ex-
tended to the four corners of the room.
The place cards were as unique as they
were artistic. The guests names were
embelisbed in rustic gold letters and in
the corner was a small rooster with brill :
ia0t p!umage The speakers OF the eve H.
ing were designated by the rooster on
their cards in growing posture. The
affair was delightful in every detail; tue
artistic arrangements of the table, the
TEN pting menu that was served and the
charming company that surrounded the
hospitable board com bined to make an
evening full of pleasure. Those present

Tuesdays Elections

The reasons for Democracy's defeat
Tuesday are very obvious and they were
in part avoidanle. In New York. Mary
land and Ohio the leaders of the party
we're men who had betrayed the party.
Men who have betrayed the confidence of
a trusting people cannot hope to secure
a vote OF confidence. In Kentucky the
candidate for governor went out of his
way to repudiate the platform made by
the convention that nominated him and
the record of the national administra-
ton. ono of the most cons picuous mem
bers of which is Kentuokian and THE
GREATEST DEMOCRAT THAT STATE
EVER GAVE TO THE NATION.
All these things were avodable mis-
takes and thu failure to avoid them has
been crushing defeat.
But over and above it all is the great
fact that i'm N ediately upon Democracy q
coming into control of the executive an q.
did not at once proceed to redeem its
platform promises thoroughly and com
pletelv instead of wasting its strength in
a fight over Officer. 1t should have legis-
lated as if every day was its last in power
and it must redeem its pledges. Had it
redeemed Its platform promises at spe-
cial session Immediately upon going into
power, and that no such session was
called was a colossal and irredeemable
blunder on the part OF President Glove.
land-nad it passed all of its promised
laws before the close of 1893 the party
would not now be standing In tn @ ashe
of its hopes. Instead of doing this, the
people were treated to an amazing spec
ta1le Of inability to 40 anything and of
chickering's with the brutal posses of tar
Unprotected trusts, until the country was
covered with chickering's and wrangles.
Under the Christening effects of these
repeated defeats we will now perhaps get
together, but 1t must be under such
changed conditions as will give assurance
that We will really do what we say We
want to do.
The people hold Democrats 10 a stricter
accounting than they do the Repu blicans.
Why this is so we do not know. But it
is so. and we are glad OF it.
Quay, Carkson. Cameron, Dudley,
Plat. Foraker, Elkins. rhurston, etc.,
etc., etc. would be load, the carrying
of which would break the back OF De-
mocracv. But the Republican party
seems to grow under such leadership.
Democracy can only hope to win with
worthy leaders who can do their duty
proml tly cheerfully and completely.
We see no reason why the Democracy,
chastened by its defeats. may not, il II
profits by the plain lesson of these cleo
tons, hope to wage a good and winning
fight next year. Principles must be nut
above everything and we must appeal to
the peopls IN absolute good faith.-Terre

MUNICIPAL BARBARISM

The suggestion of Councilman kingery

dations be referred TO the polcs commits.
sion with full power for the commission
to take whatever remedial measures may
be necessary in the premises, should have
been acted on iavorably without refer
ence to any committee. The situation
in the municipal bastie is one that de-
mands immediate attention and reforma-
ton. 1t is demorali5ing and inhumau.
The existing accommodations in point OF
capacity would hardly answer the re- uire-
ments OF Ia city half the size of Los An
geles, and in the possession OF the gen.
eral facilities considered requisite in
modern institutions of the kind it is most
decidedly lacking.
It is cartain that If the major portion
of this community fully com pretended
the actual condition of the central police
station cry of righteous indignation
would go up that woul1 startle the in
different city officials who have permit
ted the vile state of affairs to develop out
of their attitude of stately formallty.
The Jail Is capable of reasonably hous-
ing about fifty inmates, and by exercising
some ingenuity nearly seventy FIVE may
be held without serious discom fort. The
number of prisoners now confined is
about one hundred and fifty and it is
stated that so crowded are the cells that
many of the chain gang, who of all the
prisoners would seem to be entitled to
comfortable nights rsst, have found 1t
impossible to find space sufficient to per
NIT of their sleeping in a natural POSI-
ton; they have practically been compelled
to sleep sitting or standing.
It's obvious without elaboration that
this sardine-like packing IF human be-
ings is destructive alike to health, NOR
ais and the simple comfort that even a
hobo should be allowed. 1t is al,o to be
remem 5ered that very many innocent
people unable to furnish bail are confn-
ed in this American black hole until in
vestiggtion or court examination has de-
veloped their innocence OF such oharg es as
may have been nado against them.
The thing would be arbarous in Tur.
key, China or India, and is an unqualified
disgrace to a city that assumes to be in
