Works are operated by a firm of three.
Every member of the firm is unqualifiedly
for protection. This is what ]. II. Davis
has to say:
II presume that our industry, more par
ticularly than any other, needs .protec-
ton. There is a great amount of ware
imported here; beer and wine bottles, and
demijohns, for instance.
with the proper protection these can all
be made on this coast, and we are at this
time making extensive preparations to
put up a large concern for the manufac-
ture OF these various products. We fully
believe that we are going to have protec-
ton, and if we believed otherwise would
not dare to embark upon this enterprise.
Our hope of success lies with the Repub-
hcan party and protection.
"There is no question in this n after;
we simply find it impossible to compete
with the pauper labor of Europe in our
line. Under the Mckinley bill we were
extremely prosperous, there was no lost
time and the men worked all the year
round. AS soon as the Wilson bill came
into operation all the glass works in the
United States were forced to shut down at
some period or another, and some were
forced to shut down entirely.
Some of the mem bers of our firm have
been East several times during the last
year to look up the latest improvements
i'll order to perfect the plant we intend
putting in. We are entering on these ex-
tensive improvements with the full conf
dence that the Republican party will be
victorious November next"

H. T. Scott.

My views may be put in nutshell, so to
speak. The Pacific Coast wants protec-
ton, and after that the coin can take care
of itself. L believe in protection and
tariff that shall be sufficient to meet the
revenue requirements. The money ques-
tion in all of its phases appeals to the best
intelligence of the country, but l do not
think it is the issue in California. We
have to look to our home industries; and
squabbIe over silver and gold cannot
protect them. do not wish to pose as an
advocate of any political policy, but 1
have no hesitancy in announcing myself
as a protectionist "a protection Just
enough to meet the just expenses of the
country. l ain not extreme in my pro-
lection ideas as you may surmise, though
believe the tariff rather than silver is
the issue in California.

sutro Baths.

Judging from the appearance of the pro-
gramme, there should be large attendance at
the Sutro Baths this afternoon and evening.
R. B. Cornell, the champion amateur long-dis-
tance swimmer OF California, will appear in
his wonderful drowning act, remaining under
the water for a long period OF time.
Professor Z. G. Wilber will ride bicycle on
a tightrope fifty feet above the water, and Ma
jor Robinson will also appear on the tightrope.

Porter Brothers.

A. W. Porter of the well-known fruit
shippers and packers was as enthusiastic
in his Endorsement of The CALLS policy as
he was emphatic in his denunciation of the
pernicious Wilson tariff. First, last and
for always is protection the issue for Cali
forniars." he said. "What will become of
our orchards and vineyards unless we can
shut off the infowing of foreign fruits from
the cheap-labor countries?
"THE CALL has sounded the battle-cry
for the Republicans of the State We must
have protection. If we don't we will have
devilish little use or care for the money
question. Yes, [ can see great difference
in our business since the Wilson bill be-
came law. To any one of at least mod
crate degree of intelligence it must be OBJ
vious that the present depression and the
tight-boun times of the last three years
are due to the pernicious Democratic tariff.
Look at the epreciation j n our real-estate
valuesl 1t can be traced directly to the
commercial gloom spread over the country
by the Wilson bill l think we need go no
further. Protection should be the issue
throughout the Union, but particularly is
it the paramount question here"

DEATH OF MRS. PYNE.
A Pioneer Resident of the Mission and
Highly Respected.

a Pioneer Resident of the Mission and
Highly Respected.
Mrs Mary Lynch Pyne, wife of the con-
tractor, Robert Pyne, died yesterday
morning at her home, 272o Folsom street.
She had been i'll for some time with an
affection of the heart, and while her de-
mise was not unlocked for it was a shock
to relatives and friends.
The deceased was one of the best known
women in the Mission. She came to this
City with her husband thirty-six years
ago and in that section reared her family.
She was to The fore in church and char
liable work. Mrs. Pyne was a native of
Ireland, aged 81 years.

Patrick Barrett.

Barrett has been employed in the San
Francisco and Pacific Glass Works for
years and years. AS reformed Democrat
he may properly be said to reflect the sem
timent of the mass of laboring men to-
day. In his own quaint and characteristic
fashion he gives his ideas as follows:
Heretofore I have been Democrat and
a strong Cleveland man. Nobody ever
wore a redder Cleveland and Thurman
bandana than did Pat. l voted for him
the last time he ran, too: and am kicking
myself for it now.
tYou can bet that in November / am
going to vote for Ma jor Mckinley. Why !?
Because before Cleveland's term of Office
had money in my pocket and now have a
deal less, yet find the prices of things Just
as high as they were formerly.
''You can't fool me. Maybe can't an

learned philosophers, but I know when

Albert Derhan.

The shoe manufacturers side of the
problem is presented by Albert Derham
of the firm of Buckingham & Hecht. He
said:
81 believe the question of protection to
be of vital importance to California, where
all our industries are in need of it, what
we produce as we'll as what we manufac-
ture.
Protection is the keynote ana backbone
of the interests of this coast. If the rest
of the industries prosper we fin d that we
prosper accordingly, and vice versa.
when the farmers, the lumber and the
wool men have money it is soon in active
circulation aud everybody gets his share,
we along with the rest. Protection
should be the battle-cry of the Pacific
Coast "

Risdon Iron Works.

'The issue is protection and nothing
else IN California" said Mr.. Howard.
''For example, say our gold output is $25.
900, 600 year. 1t may be less and it may
be more and silver may cut a figure. But,
however that may be, it does not cut a
figure in contrast with the great problem
of protection. If the or cents day
that our people spend for goods and arti-
cles of foreign manufacture were kept at
home and devoted to the development of
home manufacture-right here in Califor-
ma, to localize the illustration-the money
saved the country would equal the output
OF our gold and silver mines. 1t is not dif-
ficult to comprehend the eloquent mean
ing of these figures. California of all
States is in need of protection. Our posi-
tion is sucE that we are more in need than
almost any other State of the Union of
those equalizing breastworks thrown up
between us and foreign cheap-labor COM
petition by protection. That is the issue
money can come afterwards. To be sure,
we want all we can get but devilish
little good it will give us until We have
something to sell at profit"

The San Francisco call., 1896-06-28

"Protection" is the battle cry of the Re-
publican party in California for the COM
ing campaign. The contest is on in real
earnest, and this State has fallen into line
with those numerous Eastern States that
have subordinated every other issue to
that of protection to American labor and
American industry.
From hill and vale, metropolis and viii
lage, farmer and manufacturer, comes
shout for protection.
1--WE must have it." says the fruit
grower; "the Wilson bill has been our
ruin"
The CRY is echoed by all-wool- raisers,
tobacco growers, iron foundrymen, car
riage builders, shoe manufacturers, cutlery
manufacturers, and all who are looking
forward to the inauguration of Mckinley
as the beginning of a brighter era, from
the closing years of which the country can
look back with shudder at the calamities
and misfortunes incident to the Cleveland
administration.
THE CALL has Just made canvass OF the
leading manufacturers and producers OF
this City, and the results may be briefly
summarized in one paragraph.
The opinion is almost unanimously
prevalent that so far as the fortunes of the
Golden State are concerned there is only
one issue on which the stanch Republi-
can man-of-war should sail forth to con-
ouer the foe, and that is protection. Pro-
lection is both her defensive armor and
her weapon of attack, the "Big Betsy" OF
the campaign.
The money question, it will be found by
reading the following thoughts OF those
who were seen on the subject, men who
are extensively engaged in the manufac-
ture and production of Californian ar
ticles and should certainly know whereof
they speak, is generally regarded as vital,
but in few instances is it considered the
living, breathing issue Of the coming
campaign. That honor is accorded
wholly and solely to the doctrine of a pro-
tective tariff.
"What matters it." said an extensive
manufacturer, whether monometallism or
bimetal!ism prevails when mans pockets
are a stranger to both gold and silver?
Let US revive Californian industries, and
with plenty of money IN circulation we
shall soon find the question easy OF soIu-
ton"
The whole situation in a nutshell is
given by Irving NJ. Scott in an able and
scholarly review. Though the language
varies with the man, it will be found that
the general consensus of opinion may be
discerned in that article.

W. w. Montague of the firm of w. w.

favor of the protective tariff as being
paramount to all other issues.

Works or as member of the irm," said
Mr.. Hinckley, "but individually [ must
say that all the silver men and money
alarmists are away off so far as California
is concerned. The issue here is not coin
silver or gold-but protection to our man
ufactures. We cannot hope TO cope with
the foreign producer under the Wilson
tariff. and of what good is gold or silver
coin to US unless we can firger some of it

silver may come afterward. Local indus
tries are the first consideration in the
coming campaign"

Speaking as wool merchant 1 must
confess that the Wilson bill was not as
harmful in its effect on the wool industry
as we all expected it would be. But there
is no cause for graduation in that. An
evil is an evil, whether it is small or large.
I believe in the early adjustment of this
money question, bus l think the leading
issue in California is the tariff. By way of
illustration, here is sample of cloth
" which I received from tailor friend this
morning. 1t emphasizes the pernicious
effects of the Wilson tariff. Stripping

tinued: sit is apparently piece OF gray

Personally believe that if the Repub-

coming election-which it undoubtedly
WILT would be only one or two years
before an international agreement would
finally settle the money question.
Protection is the great issue in this
campaign and the only one of singular I'M

not admit the existence of any side issues
at all. Upon protection we either stand or

Wales Palmer.

81 do not see how any one can confound
the political issues in this State" said
President Palmer of The Golden State Iron
Works. "California is surely in need of
protection. We are brought into constant
competition with foreign producers, and
there are only two ways in which we can
meet that competition with any possible
chance of selling our goods in open mar
ket at a profit. Yes, there are absolutely
but two ways. We must reduce the wages
of our laboring men. artisans and skilled
mechanics to a level with those of the for
eign countries, or else place tariff on
the manufactured article equivalent to
the extra cost of labor, freight ex-
pense on raw material, etc. I have
asked many prominent Democrats,
many of them my close friends, to tell me
how we could compete with the foreign
cheap labor without reducing wages or
