RECIPROCITY TREATIES.

A reciprocity treaty is to establish closer
and more profitable trade relations be-
tween two countries whose merchantaple
commodities are not competitive in the
markets of either country to hurtful de-
gree. Hence, in charging protectionists
with being inconsistent and contradictory
when they advocate the principle of reci-
procity, free-traders only expose their
own ignorance of the law of trade inter-
change and accumulation and distribu-
ton. Reciprocal commercial relations
provide the truest, least INSTRUCTED and
most profitable conditions known for mar
keting the products of country. They
are based upon the old trade and barter
system. They do not contemplate the use
of money except to settle balances. Reel
procity is, in short, true free trade. be-
cause it carries the product of country to
another country whose product is wholly
dissimilar, and there exchanges one for
the other OH the basis of the cash value OF
each in other markets.
But there is another object involved in
reciprocity treaties. 1t is the question of
Transporting the commodities for inter-
change. The party TO a treaty that is in
position to carry the commodities between
the countries is bound to have the best of
the bargain, for every ship becomes an ad-
vertising agent and a travelling salesman
for the country to which it belongs. Not
only so, but the transportation agencies
also become the supporters of the banking
institutions OF the two countries by fur
nishing facilities for transferring trade
balances. These advantages are highly
beneficial to the side that is the controller
of them in many ways. The right and
responsibility of carrying the inter
changeable produce enables the trans
portation facilities to divert trade to their
own markets that would or might go else
where, and if it were ordered elsewhere they
still would control the avenues OF inter-
change.
1t is for these reasons that our Govern
ment is urged to establish marine SER
vice on the basis Of gratuity. The COM
merce of San Francisco would grow
enormously if fleet of vessels were plying
between here and the Pacific coast cities
of all countries. Such a marine service
would very soon make San Francisco to
the Pacific Coast and the Orient what New
York is to the Atlantic Coast and Europe
The question of reciprocity treaties and
an ample marine service is q business
proposition that is based upon common.
sense business principles.

THE SUMMER SEASON.

The time has come, when In accordance
with the established custom of the fash
ionable world, society plumes itself and
makes ready for fight from town to
country. A thousand fair localities by the
seashore or IN the mountains entice the
dweilers of cities to leave the noise OF busy
streets and find a recreation in the fresh
ness and the peace of those sweet retreats
that are near to natures heart.
Each of these fair scenes where summer
dwells has some special charm OF its own,
some beauty or delight peculiar to itself.
that wins votaries to its shrines of pleasure
and Joy despite all other allurements.
Drawn by their varied and diverse attrac-
tions society divides, disperses and scatters
far and wide. All the groups and cliques
formed during the winter are broken up
and their members widely separated.
Those who have been meeting almost
daily at clubs, receptions and in social
visiting will soon be parted not to meet
again for months and never again under
the old conditions nor in the same combl-
nations even when returning winter brings
til EN- home again.
In this wide dispersion, however, there
will be no forgetfulness of friends nor any
lack of interest in their movements Wher-
ever any may 60 each will desire to know
where the others are and in what scenes
| of enjoyment they are disportlng them
selves. To supply this information will
be one of the pleasant tasks of The CALL
during the summer season. 1t will be a
feature of the paper to carry to every
reader not only that news of the day
which may for distinction be called public,
but also that gossip of the movements and
doings of California society which is in a
certain sense private, since it concerns only
the individuals themselves and is interest
ing only to their acquaintance.
All who wish during the summer wan
derings to keep in touch with their friends
withou: the fatigue of an extensive CORE
spondence will find THE CALL invaluable
TO them. 1t will come to them with a
record of the coming and going guests,
the sayings and doings OF all the summer

IDLE MONEY.

Yesterdays New York bank statement
shows that the money concerns of that
center have net surplus of nearly 500 OOO.-
600, which they would like very much to
find employment for, but which nobody
wants. The meaning of this enormous sum
of loanable money lying idle is that the
business interests of the country do not
care to launch out until all danger Of
Clevelandism being injected into the
business situation is over.
There are very many lines of trade and
manufacture that will increase their
operations the moment they feel safe to do
so, but just now the almost certainty of
another bond deal between the admins
tration and Wall street and a run ON the
treasury's gold meanwhile is creating con-
ditions that do not invite the employ ment
of new capital.
Immediately after the st. Louis conyen-
ton lis over the atmosphere in the business
world will begin TO clear itself of the black
specks of doubt and hesitation, and money
will again seek the avenues of industry
and commerce. But meanwhile let busi-
ness concerns be preparing for the trade
expansion that will follow the exit of the
Democratic party, an event that is as sure
to come as there is an election next
November.

Do NOT GROW FROM THE SOIL
Chicago Post.

Chicago Post.
The craft of man has found food products
which do not grow from the soil, and science.
no less than experiment, has approved their
utility. Long ago the golden scepter of butter
was wrested away by the mightier product of a
factory, with which neither farm nor creamery
could compete Retorts yielded culinary aid
that was better than lard. Scientific young
men produced jellies fairer in appearance than
that which came from natural fruit.
In meat production the margin of profit mar
rowed with the narrowing "range" As free
pastures disappeared with the Territories to
make room for the States the price OF beef
scared. Instantly food product became the
target of inventive attempt. The inevitable
law Of commerce was obeyed. Big profits at.
traeted big attempt and imitation meat fol-
lowed imitation butter into the field--no, into
the mart.
For a long time potatoes held a place Pc
cullarly their own; but the main reason was
that potatoes could still, three years in FIVE
be cheaply produced. But the two uncertain
years would come, and the rapid rise in price
provoked attention. Experiment made short
work of the potato. A thing of starch and
water at the BEST its combining was a simple
matter. and farmers hung up their hoes and
bought potatoes at the factory-ready for the
Kitchen, and at a rate which undercut their
cheapest effort.
Corn was more complex, but 1t surrendered.
After all, what Is ii but a com bnat ton of chem
ical properties which could be found else

them in substitute for maize than TO find the
light by which that substitute for maize might
on winter evenings, be inspected.

dttfon. Give the race food which answered

CIVILIZATIONS.

Civilization and government are not
necessarily synonymous. Bees, ants,
beavers and many tribes of the animal
kingdom maintain government, and
from the evidence we gather from their
habits and customs it is severely auto
cratic. The form of government that is
maintained by the lower tribes or commu-
mites of the human family is an improve
ment upon that of the highest of animal
tribes, but not conspicuously so in all
cases. This difference obtains, however.
The resentment that is shown in the
animal when it feels that it is being op-
pressed is wholly vicious, while the feel
ing of resentment in the lower human
being has a thread of determination to
have certain individual rights recognized.
1t is the broadening and strengthening of
this thread that enables humanity to un-
fold upon ethical and intellectual lines.
1t is held by some evolutionists that I'M
foldment buds into civilization when the
human being feels he has personal rights
which he must defend to the death, and
that from the bud onward civilization is
com Imperative. The lowest form of civiliZa-
ton is under principles OF government
which make might the supreme law, but
those principles yield to principles of right
as humanity unfolds and civilization adj
vances in ratio to the recognition by hu-
manity of the principles of justice and to
the growth of inclination TO make right
the rule and guide of conduct. Greed,
avarice and selfshness are the predomi-
mating characteristics of the animal; and
man, though he revel in wealth and stands
an intellectual giant, possesses the animal
soul and heart in proportion as his nature
is greedy, avaricious and selfish. The
leaves of the bud do not open and stand
apart i'll the deep shadow of the thicket.
AS compared with former periods the civ
ilization of the nineteenth century is like
the bud grown into fiowerhood, but, in fact,
it is not the full flower. The inmost leaves
and their fragrance are still held for future
embodiment. Even the free and intelli-
gent people OF America still hold on to
many of the methods, Gus toms, suspicious,
superstitions. and much of the intolerant
spirit OF the earlier hours of civilization.
but as a whole the world is wiser, happier
and better than in any former period ;
still, do not let us forget while boasting of
our high civilization that the people OF the
fortleth century are likely to speak of US
as the heather of the nineteenth century,
as we speak of the barbarians of the first
century.
But We can boast that the world never
before had so many institutions for caring
for the poor and sick. There are more
big-hearted philanthropists than ever be-
fore, and never before in the history of the
race did so many of the common people
own their own homes, and never before
was humanity on so nearly q political
level. We have higher and truer sense
of the right than had our ancestors, but,
on the other hand. the responsibility that
rests upon the people of the nineteenth
century, with reference to the ages to come,
is far greater than had TO be borne by the
people of all previous stages of advance

SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTIONS.

In trying to prevent an investigation of
the bond sales, the friends of the admins
tration tactly admit that probing might
put President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle in an awkard position. 1t is not
understood that any irregularity is sus-
pected IN connection with the first issue
which was made il 1894. 1t is the inside
history of the Morgan syndica.e's pur-
chase of the issue of $62, 600, 900 thirty-ye ear
per cents at 104%, when they should
have brought nearer their market value,
which was abou! 1877, that is particularly
asked for. OF course no one would expect
that large block of bonds could be sold
at their retail price in the security market,
but certainly some explanation should be
forthcoming why as much as SIS per 800
bond should have been thrown off.
1t Is not seriously thought by many, if
by any one, that either Cleveland or Car
Isle profted in a private or personal way
by the sale, but there is reason to believe
that because of their gross incapacity to
handle a business affair of such magnl-
tude the Morgan Rothschild syndicate
pulled the wool over their eyes, so to
speak. And most likely the syndicate
threatened to organize run upon the
treasury gold if it was not allowed to
make profit OF $40, 900 900 from the trans
action, which 1t did make.
In view of the demand of the public for
more light on the transaction the admin
istration certainly puts itself in an atti-
tude to invite suspicion of something akin
to crookedness when it refuses to give mn
the secrets of the deal. Another thing
which the President appears to think is
none of the public's business is the sale to
Morgan of nearly 100000 of the last
issue of bonds that subscribers failed 10
take at 110A when there were other bids
on file in the Treasury Department of 114}%.
1t is unfortunate that the administration
considers itself above responsibility to the
people for its act. for it does OUT system OF
government no good TO have the news 90
| abroad that the conduct of the Nations
affairs and the administration of law has
no basis of certainty higher than the cap.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

E. Jacobs, the millionaire OF Visalia, is
among the arrivals at the Occidental. He was
once general storekeeper, then banker. and
since 1876 has been farmer and stock-groWer
on Il large scale.
He raises no less than 5000 acres of grain
alone each year, to say nothing OF the alfalfa,
grapes and fruit.
But besides all this he raises every year an
enormous quantity of beef, pork and mutton.
He considers Tulare County the best in Cali
fornia for stock growing.

he said yesterday, al had to go in through
heavy forest OF oak trees. Where Visalis now
stands was all grown over with great OAKS IL
was settlement made right in the timber
Visalia now has about $500 inhabitants.
There were precious few people there when
went and located among those oaks.
~ think the grain crop OF Tulare and that
region of the State will be about one-third of
crop. The first yield will be good.
"Our people are very much interested now
in the Valley road. 1t is the topic that is up
permost. Right-of-way men are going through
there and they are given every encourage
ment. 1t is expected the road Will be fms he'd

sometime since near Coalinga. Almost every

we have a county remarkable for its steady

hdence and deserves the recognition of the

short. He has completed his business and is
about ready TO return home.
