DECREASING REVENUES.

Our Democratic friends will have some
difficulty in explaining number of things
when the campaign is fairly opened. AS
yet they have given US no intimation of
the line of defense they propose to take.
The country is greatly interested over
guesses as to how the Democrats can ex-
plain away the relation between decreased
internal revenues and free. trade. By
attempting to increase revenues for gov
ernmental purposes through tax on in
comes the Democratic party confessed that
it did not expect the Wilson German tariff
to produce as large revenue customs as a
protective tariff did, but doubtless the
party never took into account the possi-
bility OF free trade curtailing internal rev.
enues as well. 1t is true that an increase
of 20 cents gallon was made in the tax
on spirits, but the assumption is that this
was expected to produce clear increase in
internal revenues to that extent.
Doubtless Mr.. Cleveland has been aston
ished as well as dismayed to discover that
even with this increase In the tax on spirits
the internal revenues have fallen off enor-
mously since the Wilson German bill went
into effect in October. 1894 The bill had
been in force for nineteen months down TO
the close of last month. But during that
time the internal revenue receipts were
$201, ,069, ,812, as against 1921. .222, l22 for the

Mckinley law was in force. This is dill
ference of more than 30,000,0 600, and we
may expect the monthly average to con-
tinue until the present tariff is abolished
for protective measure.
Nothing else should have been expected.
When producers and manufacturers are
compelled to go out OF business by reason
of impossible competition with the cheap
standards of Europe there is bound to be
financial distress. Hard times make econ
omy necessary, and the internal revenues
must suffer in consequence.
While this deficit in internal revenues IS
going bravely on there is, of course, SIM
liar deficit in revenues on imports. The
total customs receipts for the first nine
teen months of the Mckinley tariff were
$500, ,919,0 ,004, and those of the wilson
German tariff for similar period were
$481 ,423, sol, showing difference OF over
SS5, ,000, 900 for only nineteen months. This
is particularly instructive, in view OF the
fact that one of the most stoutly urged
Democratic objections to a protective
tariff was that it could not produce sufi-
cient revenues, and that the encourage
ment of importations by offering low I'M
port charges under free trade would vastly
Increase the revenues.
Thus Democratic free trade has reduced
both import and internal revenue receipts.
And yet these are but the smallest OF its
evils. In the hardships and ruin that
have been imposed on American indus
tries we see the deeper and more far
reaching effects of this un-American idea.

HARMONY AND PROGRESS.

The movement for the consolidation OF
all the improvement clubs of the City IS
the most encouraging evidence OF an in
telligent cooperation that has ever ap-
peared in the growth of San Francisco.
1t points to an early breaking down OF Sec
tional jealousies, to fairer distribution of
municipal funds for public Improvements,
and to the wider cultivation of a progress
sive spirit.
The Improvement clubs, as we under
stand them, are those which have been or
ganized in certain districts for improve
ments within restricted limits. Besides
seeking to secure for themselves fair
share of the public funds, these districts
cultivate public spirit among their resi-
dents, to the end that improvements prop
erlv made by private expenditure shall
receive prompt attention. These are
strictly sectional organizations, and they
have been accomplishing a great deal of
good for themselves directly and for the
City at large indirectly. Besides these are
comprehensive organizations working to
the same end on somewhat different lines.
They are not organized by districts, but
are composed of residents from all parts
of the City. Among these are the Mer-
chants Association, the Boulevard Asso-
citation, and the Cycling Board of Trade.
No scheme for the organization of i'm
provement clubs would be complete with
out including them.
The plan OF organization contemplates q
central working body com posed of repre-
sentatives of the various component
bodies. This central body will sit as a
court of justice and promotion. The
power which it will be able to WELD will
be enormous, and care will have to be
taken that this power be not abused. So
far as we are informed the idea in its
present shape is novelty, and as such it
will be an experiment requiring the
highest Judgment in its trial. Not the
least of its difficult problems which will
show themselves will be wise adjust
ment OF the needs of the City in the way
of Improvements and the public ability to
supply them. In weighing this matter
the best method for raising money will be
quite as important as the amount required.
1t is sufficient for the present merely to
hint at these matters. The main thing
now is to congratulate the City on the
birth of true cooperative spirit that will
eventually redeem the City from its present
backwardness and set it fairly in the road
to the greatness which awaits it. From
considering the immediate needs OF the
City itself this movement will be extended
in time to the fostering Of the State condi-
tions on which the prosperity of the City
depends. AS the metropolis of California

A DEFECTIVE LAW.

The Sacramento Bee has had a remark
able experience with the libel laws and is
Justly demanding that they be amended.
As the matter is of great importance, af-
fecting the general community as well as
threatening the entire press of the State,
the history OF the case will prove instruct
i've.
In August, 1892 Sacramento merchant
was arrested on complaint of woman ser
want charging him with criminal assault.
The Bee, following one of the most firmly
established rules of journalism, secured an
interview with the woman, in which she
gave the particulars of the assault,
although her sta atement, unlike the COM
plant, was that only an attempt at as
sault had been made. In the same article
giving this interview and the news of the
issuance of the warrant the Bee published
an interview with the merchant, in which
a denial of the truth of the charge was
made. All this, as every newspaper pub
Usher is aware, was following an estab-
lished rule of newspapers to publish both
sides of serious charge in the main
tenance of a perfectly fair and impartial
attitude.
The examining magistrate held the mer-
chant to answer on the woman's charge,
but the defendant was discharged on
habeas corpus proceedings. He then
brought suit for damages in $50, 900
against the Bee. The case was tried in the
Superior Court without jury and judg-
ment was rendered against the Bee for
$500. The Supreme Court has recently
sustained an appeal from this judgment.
While the text of that decision is not at
hand, the inference seems to be that news
papers run counter to the law of libel
under this decision when they publish, in
addition to the allowable news furnished
by criminal complaint, the detailed
statement of the complaining witness,
even though the defendants contrary
statement is published at the same time
and no desire to work him an injustice is
presumable.
This is the Bees Interpretation of the
decision, and it is the best position to
understand the matter. The law as it
stands thus puts a severer gag on the
press of this State than exists in any other
civilized country, and it is one that ex-
poses the public as well as the press to a
wide range of dangers. 1t is, therefore,
incumbent on the newspapers of Califor-
mia to urge such an amending of the law
as will make it conform to modern ideas
of liberty and enlightenment.
