The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1896-06-03

One of the most critical and reliable
of the non-partisan publications is
the Review of Reviews, and when it
speaks concerning American politics
its opinion carries much weight. In
the June number, it says:
"The verdict of the people lin the
elections of 1892 was apparently in
favor of an entirely different theory
namely, that of tariff for revenue
only. The democrats were therefore
justified in repeating the Mckinley
tariff. Their weakness was exhibited,
however, when they undertook to
obey the popular mandate in substi-
tuting a revenue tariff for high pro-
tective one. The measure that they
produced was a miserable makeshift,
utterly lacking in logic, partial to
some interests and hostile to others,
savagely mutilating the consistent
protective system of the Mckinley
bill. 1t was more Objectionable as a
discriminating tariff than its prede-
cessor was, while proving itself neither
in theory nor in results TO be tariff
for revenue"

4 Political Mistake.

With all Difference To the candidacy
of a citizen of this county for the re-
sponsible office of auditor general of
the state, il is fact that the final con-
test will be between Hon. Roscoe d.
Dix of Berren County and G. &. Temp
kins, the present state accountant un-
der Stanley Turner. But for the sad
break of the Wayne County delegation
at Grand Rapids two years ago, (Which
went all TO pieces after MIR. Pingree had
instructed them TO vote blank Mr.
Dix would have received the nomlna-
ton. At that time Van Buren, County
stood by Mr.. Dix, and not man in the
delegation regrets it. Neither will Van
Buren, County regret taking stand
this year that will bring about change
IN the management of the auditor gen
erals Office. No change can be made
by trying to nominate Mr.. Wildey. His
candidacy will bring his name before
the people of the state-that is all. Mr.
Dix is already widely and favorably
known. If Mr.. Wildey really wants to
see Mr.. Thompkins defeated, as he has
already minated, he should throw his
entire support to the man who has any
show for defeating him. He should not
forget that Mr.. Tompkins is very jubi-
liant over his (Wildey's) candidacy -

The western New York saltfield, en-
braced In the counties of Genessee. Liv-
ingston and Wyoming. extends over ten
townships, with an aggregate population
of 23, 166. The amount OF wages dis
tributed in the salt industry in those
ten townships in 1891 was in round
numbers $3.50, 900; the freights paid on
salt. coal, cooperage, etc. $1,000. 900;
the amount paid for cooperage. box
shocks, bagging, ETC., was $3.50. 600; a
total distribution of money TO the
amount of 81, 400, 600 in o single year
That was under the Mckinley tariff,
with protection TO salt
In 1895, under the German tariff,
with salt ON the free list, the distribu-
ton of money in this same section
through the salt industry was as fol-
lows: Wages, $l65. 900; freights. ETC..
$400 900; cooperage, bagging, ETC..
1915, 900, total Of $3.50, 900, or re-
duction of about 68 per cent traceable
directly TO free trade. The immediate
localities suffered to the extent of 1886,
900 year-a distribution of wages de-
creased by about $l7 per capita for the
entire population in the region affected,
of whom less than 10 per cent were en-
gagged directly in the salt industry. The
number of persons engaged in the in
dustry fell off from 1900. earning
SASS. 33 a year, to 500 earning $3.50
each.
In addition TO this loss TO labor in the
locality and its resultant effect on local
trade and every industry and pursuit
there carried on, there is the item of
$500, 600 loss to the railroads in freights
paid. nearly all of which is labor
item. Then there is the loss of $435,
600 in the amount of cooperage and
bagging used, the major part of which
was loss to labor affecting the lumber
men in Michigan, the cotton operatives
in the east and sewing girls in New
York city, where the bulk Of the bagging
has been made up
The manufacturers Of cotton in the
New England states, and the lumber
men of the north and west, are as much
affected by the placing Of salt on the
free list as are the saltmakers in the
western New York saltfield-and the
great railroad corporations are affected
as much as both put together.

paramount issue, and will be so until

CENTRAL PACIFIC SUED,
Patents to Mineral Land in
Northern Counties in
Dispute.
The Government Commences Action
to Remove the Claims of the
Railroad.

District Attorney Foote yesterday re-
ceived instructions from Washington to
bring suit at the instance of the United
States Government against the Central Pa
cific Railroad Company to relinquish title
to 1866 acres of land long since held by
that corporation. The suit will be brought
against the Central Pacific as the successor
of the California and Oregon Railroad
Company.
The claim is set forth by the United
States Government that this vast acreage
was enormously patented to the corpora
ton in question. and action is now brought
to set aside the same, as the time for such
a proceeding would expire under the act
of limitations of March 3, 1891, on next
Monday.
The land in dispute is located in the
counties of Butte, Sutter, Tehama, Yuba
and Shasta, in the State of California. 1t
is valued at upward of 81 100000.
Much of this land was patented because
of the fact that at the time the railroad
company filed its maps of the survey
under the act of July 25, 1866, and the
Withdrawals were allowed by the Secretary
of the Treasury, the land was held to be of
a mineral character and was exempt from
the pateut afterward issued. Some of the
land had also been pre-empted by home
steaders.
Suit is brought at this time to prevent
the rights of the Government from being
barred.

CRAB-F|SHERS TR|CKED,
They Took a Tow.Line Which

tees Court.
Davis and His Pistol-Four Men Fined
for Neglecting to Pay the State
License.

Deputy Fish Commissioners Al Wilson
and Davis played mean trick upon four
crab-fishers last Monday. There is a
State law making it compulsory for all
crab fishermen to pay a State license of
So year, the money going to the support
OF the commission and the hatcheries.
Around the San Francisco Bay are dozens
of men who make a living by catching
crabs outside of the heads. These men
have persistently refused to pay the State
license and have resorted to all sorts of
tricks to avoid payment.
On Monday the two deputies started
down the bay in the launch and waited
across the bar for the return of the crab
fishing boats. When the latter appeared
in a bunch late in the afternoon the
deputies in the launch called out to the
fishermen to throw them line. The four
fishermen, not recognizing the deputies,
were only too glad to receive lift" as
they supposed, because the wind had gone
down and there was every prospect of a
hard pull along the water front from Fort
Point to the Vale io-street wharf.
Within three minutes four boats were in
tow of the launch, and their occupants
were loud in their expression of thanks to
the men in the launch for their kindness
of heart The crabbers' faces beamed with
Joy as they settled back on their seats
while their boats cut through the water.
Wilson and Davis smiled grimly, and
when well in side of the heads headed the
launch for the Marin County shore Then
the men in the boats in tow began to look
uneasy as the San Francisco shore began
to recede. A little later they began to
gesture that they wanted to go in that
direction, and for the launchmen TO cast
off the tow-lines. The deputies laughed
and pointed toward Sausalito. By this
time the crab-fishers began to realize that
there was something wrong. and one got
out his knife TO cut the tow-line.
Davis arose in the stern of the launch
and, drawing revolver. yelled, eff you
cut loose I'll blow your blamed head off p
That was all the argument the fishermen
wanted, and though they raved and swore
like pirates no one tried to cut his tow
line. The four, whose names are f. Sla-
vina, P. Sorantino, N. Slavina and F.
Neroso, were taken to Sausaito under
arrest. The reason for taking them across
the bay was because there would be less
trouble in securing convictions than there
is in the San Francisco police courts.
The men were taken at once before JUS
tice of the Peace Batrue, who compelled
them to pay their licenses and fined them
SIS for the costs.

strated that the advance was too great to
attract business over the longer route.
Whlle according to the contract the Pa
c'nc Mail has the right to make eastbound
rates, the Panama Company has still a
voice in the matter. The latter compa-
ny's position in the m matter was thus stated
by Mr.. Hinton in an interview published
In THE CALL of January Is, 1896: while
the Panama Railroad may not actually
publish the tariff of rates on eastbound
business, it retains a controlling influence
In determining from time to time what
such rates shall be-
The new tariff suggested by the Panama
Railroad people makes radical reduction.
1t provide that the existing go cent rate
be reduced to 40 cents, reduction of 3311aa
per cent. The Pacific Mail people are of
course opposed to this, as their steamers
have ample to do in carrying Central
American freight, and they are conse-
quently not desirous of acceding to any
thing that would stimulate the through
business to the decrease of their more
profitable local traffic, to say nothing of
the effect such reduction would have on
shipments over the Southern Pacific Rail-
road. The outcome Of this effort on the
part of the Panama Railroad Company to
make the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany live up to the spirit of its contract is
being watched with great interest in ship
ping circles

Everything Done to Discourage
Traffic by Way of the
IsthmuS.
sCHWERIN CALLED TO TIME.
The Panama Railroad Company Has
Made Demand for Greatly
Reduced Tariff.

Things are not as harmonious between
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and
the Panama Railroad Company as they
might naturally be expected to be between
corporations that bound themselves in a
mutual compact only few months ago.
Ever since the famous Huntington-Sim.
mons contract the developments have been
of such character as to permit the South
ern Pacific and other transcontinenta
companies to increase rates and to force
freight over the Southern Pacific Railroad
The increase of rates by the transconti.
mental lines was at once followed by ar
ness via Panama. These rates are made
by the Pacific Mail Company, while the
westbound rates are in the hands of the
Panama Railroad people.
In recent dispatch 1t was stated thai
one steamer of the Panama Railroad S line
on the Atlantic, the Alliance, had to make
its last trip from Colon to New York en-
tirely without cargo.
According 10 the recently ratified agree
ment the Pacinc Mail is pledged to run
line of steamers to Panama from San
Francisco, and thus to furnish the steam
ers of the Panama people on the Atlantic
with all the freight they require.
The reason assigned by the Pacific Mail
Company for its failure to deliver the
requisite amount of business to the Pan
anna roao is that the Central American
and west coast traffic is so heavy that
there was not room enough on the Pacific
Mail steamers for through freight.
1t is also stated that for its violation oi
this provision OF the contract the Pacific
Mail Company will have to pay an indem-
nifty to the Panama Railroad Company,
arbitration to determine the amount
This arrangement appeared to many
merchants here to be new way of utiliz-
ing the Panama Railroad Company as a
catspaw for the Southern Pacific by vir-
tually paying the Panama Railroad a SUBJ
sidy in the disguise of penalty.
When E. II. Hinton, the general agent
of the Panama Railroad Company in this
City, had his attention called to this stu
alton he emphatically denied that there
was any such scheme with the knowledge
or consent of the company. "Our people,
he added, 81 am sure would not them
selves be party to any such arrange.
ment. We are in the field for the busines.
we propose to have. The trouble has sim.
ply arisen from the withdrawal of the Pa
chic Mail steamers from the Atlantic side
and the Panama steamers from this side
The San Francisco call., 1896-02-26

We are both arranging to supplement our
services, and then, l think, there will be
no more trouble
different story is told, however. by
others who have knowledge of what is
transpiring between the heads of the two
companies. 1t is stated that the Pacific
M all Is deliberately doing everything that
1t can to discourage through shipments via
Panama, with the view of diverting such
traffic to the Southern Pacific Railroad.
Manager Schwerin of the Pacific Mail is
often applied to for westbound rates over
the Panama route, which the Panama peo-
pie alone have the right to make Instead
however, OF referring applicants to Mr..
Hinton, the local general agent of the
company, he has been telling shippers
either that he does not know to whom thew
should apply or he has referred them to
the New York office of the Panama com
pany. Yet he has no reason for this De-
culiar conduct, for he with many of the
local merchants have received the circular
OF that company stating that Mr. Hinton
is again prepared to quote rates for west
bound business.
But the best evidence that there is seri-
Gus friction between the two contracting
companies is shown in the fact that on the
10th of this month the Panama Railroad
gave notice to the Pacific Mail Com pany
that it desired the eastbound rates reduced
to a figure that would insure business for
the Panama route.
The rates fixed when the recent advance
was made was so cents per 100 pounds for
those commodities that were most largely
shipped via the isthmus. This was an in
crease of about % cents per 100 pounds,
and developments since then have demon
