WHAT SAN FRANCISCO NEEDS.

San Francisco is the natural and legiti-
mate point for the accumulation and dis
tribution of large percentage of the inter-
national trade and traffic of China, Japan,
Australia and the islands of the Pacific,
but she will continue to be the natural
point without the business until the Gov
ernment at Washington is persuaded to
make it possible to keep enough first-class
steamships in comm issioE between San
Francisco and the Orient and intermediate
points to accommodate commerce. The
business men of Australia and Samoa have
repeatedly given our merchants assur-
ances of large volume of business if
they would acquire the necessary facilities
for transporting the articles OF commerce.
1t is admitted that we have the advantage
of Europe in location, but what does that
signify if we have no way of improving it +?
Fourteen subsidized steamship lines
ply between Australasia and the trade
centers of Europe, but there is only one
steamer month plying between America
and that country. No doubt the 2 per
cent OF the trade of Sydney which now
comes this way could be increased to so
per cent if our Government would give
bonus OF one-quarter the amount that for
eign ships are getting. The trouble is, it

LUMBER UNDER FREE TRADE.

It is shown in yesterdays CALL, in the
first of a series of articles, that the Demo-
cratic policy of free trade has done great
injury to the numbering interests of the
country; that the lum bering interests are
the most extensive of any industries in
America, and that the shrewdest opera
tors are embarrassed under Canadian COM
petition.
Free trade in lumber was another one of
the hobbies of William Jennings Bryan,
by which he sought to convince the coun-
try by speeches in Congress that free trade
would be panacea for industrial and
commercial ills. Any one who will read
The CALLs account of the practical down.
fall of numbering interests under free trade
will conclude that Bryan knew as little
about what could help the lum Der men as
he did about what would benefit the
sheep-growers. That is, he knew nothing
about either business.
Without protection the American mar
ket is open to the competition of lumber
from British Columbia, where crown lands
are practically free, where lumber men
have no investments of onseeuence and
where it is common to hire Chinese and
Japanese labor at so low price as sixty
cents a day, the workman boarding him
self. Against the competition of goods
made under these circumstances the
American producer is powerless unless he
reduces the wages of his workingmen to
even a lower standard than that obtaining
in Canada.
The thoughtful student of the times
will reflect as he reads the story of the
ruin wrought by free trade "a blight
wherever it touches. Yet such is the pol
icy of the Democrats, and particularly the
policy advocated by William Jennings
Bryan of Nebraska.
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-03
MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DEMO
GRATIS.

That two Democratic tickets will be in
the field there does not seem to be any
reason to doubt. The middle-of- the-road
Democrats will hold National nominat-
ing convention early in Septem Der, with
delegates from every State and Territory,
and nominate a candidate for President
and Vice-P President in whom no Populis-
tic or free-silver guile can be found. This
is as il should be. 1t is of paramount i'm
portance that there always be two great
political parties in this country. Our sys-
tenn of government provides that it shall be
conducted by the people through political
party, and were there not always a strong
party ''out" watching the party that is
"in,' it would not be long before the lead
ers of the sins" would dispense with the
form of holding elections.
The middie-of-the-road Democracy is
the natural opponent of the Republican
party. There is no difference between the
Democratic party proper and the Republi-
can party in purpose. The betterment of
the condition of the people is what the
Democratic party strives for, and the Re-
publican party strives for the same object,
but they are widely different in their
views as to how best the position of the
people, socially and commercially. may be
strengthened. and although experience
for third of century or more testifies
that the people prosper when Republican
economic principles prevail in the con-
duct of the Government, and that applied
Democratic principles are hurtful to trade
and commerce, the need of the Democratic
party, as factor in the Nations political
life. is evident.
1t is self-evident fact that the combine
between the Populists and the Bryan wing
of the Democratic party must win in No
vember or go to pieces. 1t could not sur
vive defeat twenty-four hours, and were
it to win it would not survive one ad min.
istration. Its basic principles antagonize
the spirit and the purpose of the founders
of the Nation at every point, and it will not
listen to the voice of warning. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that all true Demo-
Gratis and all true Republicans are of one
mind that the election of Mr.. Bryan would
be a National calamity, nor is it surprising
that true Democrats would want to
strengthen the hands of the Republican
party for this one time by nominating a
ticket that would take votes away from
Bryan. To be sure it would be better if
all anti-Bryan Democrats would come out
for Mckinley, but the next best thing is to
have their own candidates.

DIMPLES AND WRINKLES.

The deepest of dimples to wrinkles have run
Since Mary was twenty and twenty-one;
But dimped wrinkled, my sweethearts the
same,
From the sunburst of life to it's last little fame.
The cheeks that were roses are shrunken and pale,
But their velveLy purity never will fail;
And lips that were flushed with the red blood Of
youth
Are warm with love as undying truth.
The blue of her ewes is fading to gray.
And the gold of her hair is silver to-day;
But the soul is the same that was oroed In the
blue,
And sIlvern is golden when love lights the view.
And, dimpled or wrinkled, blush will confess
The happiness born of a lovers caress-
For the heart Of a woman Is tender as true
And the passion 1t cherishes ever is new.
With Mary at twenty and me twenty-one.
Than dimples naught Sweeter was under the sun;
With Mary at sixty and me sxty-one,
Why, dimples were made so that wrinkles might
run.

It Is noteworthy fact that every speech de-

the fiery eagerness of Bryan for joint discus
