There is one instance of the applica-
ton of the Monr, doctrine that should
not have been lost to the retentive
memory of the senior senator from
Ohio, and that was the emphatic pro-
test by Secretary Seward against the
occupation and rule Of Mexico by Max
imillinn, on the ground that such acts
would mean the extension of III, mon
archial system and European power Oh
the American continent in opposition
to the traditional and estaDiis bed
policy of the United States. The gee

the Monroe doctrine was directed

European power and not against the
extension of the power and jursdic-

States did not "take possession of

United States paid Mexico $l5,090000.

EDITOR HERALD:-I write just to say
that, as a socialist and patriotic citizen,
acknowledge whether Mr.. Randolph does
or not) the single-tax scheme, advocated
by Mr.. Miller, to he a much more prefer
able one than the ubiquitous, inequitable,
dishonest system of taxation now in vogue.
Will. Mr.. Miller not he as magnanimous
regarding socialism. as | have been relative
to the single-tax theory? Does he not
know. and will he not admit that socialism
promises better system of government
than the one we now have, whether it be
MIR. Miller's ideal or not? 1t surely would
be. and this point, it appears to me, is the
only question that is necessary for REFORM
ers to understand and agree upon, when
presenting their various panaceas for pub
lie consideration.
Confucus said "by nature we nearly
resemble one another; condition separates
us very far" Now, methinks, this little
quotation is very applicable i'll the present
discussion. Single-taX is good as far
as it goes, and it is not
far reaching enough to touch all he
people and their wants and necessities. 1t
is a better system of taxation than the one
we now have, but it is not "A remedy for all

the soil would be easier of access and I'M
doubleday there would be more of it in
use, with fewer land barons, under the
single tax system, but such an improved
condition as this would not eliminate
middle men. money changers, millionares,
trusts, monopolies, factory and eatshop
wage slavery. Does not man need
something more than the above enumer-
ated elements allow him to secure under
their tystem? Death il better than the
letters of slavery! Eating, drinking,
sleeping and working is not the natural life
for man; it is the natui al life of an ami.
NAL. A mans soul yearns for something
more than this. He wants time to
cultivate his best qualities = art
literature, music, science, etc. These
ere the priceless jewels of
life. that are only possible to all under a
cooperative commonwealth. God did not
create this beautiful world with its bounti-
fulness for privileged few, as some peo-
pie seem to think, and that the great mass
of people should go on living in slavery
and degradation and poverty, Invested of
their natural heritage. 1t is an earthly
condition, and all such must change.
Mr.. Miller will observe that l have not
assaulted the single tax knot, admitting it
to be a better system than anything yet
tried, but not the beet and most complete
that can be devised, or that socialism now
proposes. SAMUEL j. GALE.

attractions fully warrant such popu-
lstion. But before people from other
sections of the country will come into
the Golden Gate state to remain in
such numbers as are to be desired,
some plan must be adopted to break
up the evil of large land holdings by
spectators, 30 that people desiring to
improve natures opportunities can do
80 without being compelled to pay
fabulous prices to few landlords.
The evil can be done away with by a
simple and q perfectly just plan, when
ever the people Of the state shall de-
eide to adopt it.

THE THIRTY.TWO HUNDRED.

From the employees of the city and
county government of Los Angeles
thirtytwo full companies of 100 men
each-three regiments and two COM
panies to spare-could DO recruited to
defend the country from British in
vasion. This force is not to be sneezed
at. Most of them are patriots by pro-
fession, for they have stated in loud
and resonant tones from many stumps
that they are, and we believe them.
They have said that they were willing
to die for their country whenever
called on. This sacrifice has not yet
been asked of them. SO in the mean.
time they are serving their country in
directly by drawing their sustenance
from the city and county treasures.
AS a matter Of fact there are, on the
pay rolls of the county and municipal
ity, the names of many persons whose
services are required and who could
not be dispensed with. No one denies
this. But sandwiched in, with these
competent and necessary employees, are
hundreds OF persons whose services
are no more required than is the fifth
wheel to cart. They are simply
feeders at the public crib because
they have rendered valuable service to
the combination that controls city and
county affairs. Even if work we're ex.
pected of them they could not per.
form it, for they are incompetent.
Many of them are experts on stuffing
ballot boxes at primaries. Some can
tell you how to vote dead men and
suffers whose names appear on the
great register. Others have been &C.
cused of crimes, and have been CON-
PEELED to defend themselves in the
courts of the county. In the list,
when it is complete, you can almost
pick out quorum of the 519 delegates
to the last Republican county conven-
ton.
It is these unnecessary and useless
employees that thu taxpayers are OBJ
jecting to, and about the most forcible
way to convince the people that they
are as numerous as the sands of the
sea, SO to speak, is to present the list
in its entirety.
How long these professional patriots,
who have fought and bled--bled in it's
truest sense-to uphold the combina-
ton, will continue to draw pub
lie money for which they rem
der no adequate service, cannot
be stated. They are firmly entrenched
The bosses feel safe in doing anything
they desire to. Their majority in this
county is SO overwhelming that they
do not fear as long as they can capture
the convention of their party and die
tate its nominations. This they always
do. Then later the people pay the
bills, as witness the list of city and
county employees and the amount of
the money of the people the conven-
ton workers have received.

could not be completed in time for

ing, but owing to an unforeseen incident
it was impossible to tabulate the one
thousand city employees and about five
| hundred more of the county. They
will be given later. 1t was intended to

one publication, but the task proved to
/ be too great one for the accountant
who was compiling the list. He was
unable to finish the work, but will COM

An Ex-Confcderste General as the Com.
mnnder OF Our NAVY

EDITOR HERALD: If war should be pre-
ciptated with England, and it will not he
because England cannot afford to engage
in such war, with Canada as our prize,
and Ireland as thorn in her side, yet il
such calamity as war should DO in
augurated, it will be enforced to a very
great degree by the secretary of the navy,
who was a general in tho confederate
army. AS an evidence of the certain har-
mony between the north and south, there
is not a real born northern soldier who is
not perfectly satisfied that the naval
squadrons, which must make this fight,
should be under the control of a brave ex-
confederate soldier.

LEATHER AND SHOE MARKET.
Although Prices Continue stiff, the
Trade Continues Very Active.

The leather, boot, and shoe market Is
still very active, and our merchants are
busy filing fell and "flling-in" orders for
buyers who have accepted the situation
and who are most willingly paying the
advanced prices. The Richmond dealers
are not getting the full advance; they
have not asked IT.; but they can hardly
continue this policy, as stocks are dimin-
ishing daily, and 1t Is impsssibi' 10 re-
place goods ct this time. 1t will be months
before regular stocks can be made up.
4 report from the Department of Agri-
culture gives the information that the
number OF cattle in the United States de-
creased 2,z26.123 head In 1874. There are
now about as many as there were in
1889. when leather boots and shoes were
higher than they are now. Since mat
time the population OF this country has
increased 100000; consequently there Is
greater demand for leather and higher
prices are charged for footwear. The
world will be 10000 hides short this year.
The leather market alone Is doing a
large volume OF business, and those who
have stocks on hand find no trouble in
Hemlock leather advanced last Tuesday i
