How Protection Was Overthrown in Eng
land.

| land.
Free trade was brought about in
England in 1916 by deception, as it was
in the United States in 1892. This is
shown fully and clearly in Protection
and Prosperity" the great tariff work.
| Speaking of the causes that led to the
| overthrow of protection in England,
Mr. Curtiss says:
Had the real purpose of the Anti
Corn League been disclosed to the
| agriculturists, protection could never
have been overthrown. Had they pro-
claimed or admitted what they believ-
ed the result would be, the sense of
fairness pervading the masses of the
English people would have made their
triumph impossible. Had they told
the farmers what they knew to be a
fact, that the land would go out of
cultivation, and that the food supply
of the English people would be brought
from foreign parts, their speakers
would have failed in their efforts. The
blackest' page in the history of the
whole movement is the campaign "of
education" as they called it, which
was carried on among the farmers from
1s4- to 1916, to convince them of the
advantages of free trade. While de-
liberately plotting for the ruin of TIE
tenant farmers, the Manchester manu-
facturers were processing to be their
friends. The rural districts were flood
ed with the literature of the League.
Richard Golden, John Bright, Colonel
Thompson, and many other speakers,
were going from place to place, ad-
dressing meetings and arousing the
people against protection. 1t would
not do to tell the farmers that their
land would go out of cultivation; that
cattle, sheep, hogs, wheat, barley, rye,
oats, and even butter, cheese, eggs,
poultry, and in fact nearly everything
which they were producing, would be
shipped into Manchester and the great
commercial centres of England from
other countries Their mission was
to get the farmers votes, procure their
signatures to petitions to parliament,
asking for the repeal Of the Corn Laws.
The means used to accomplish this
were most discredita bic.

moved that the Engineer be instructed

and it was decided to hold an adjourned

The Solicitor was instructed to draw
up a contract to that effect.
Council thereupon adjourned.

tion "The Democratic party Of the
State of New York, in convention as
sembled, unreservedly indorses the
platform adopted by the Democratic
party at the National Convention held
in Chicago on July Z, 1896 cordially
approves the nominations there made !;
pledges to William ]. Bryan and Arthur
Sci wall its hearty and active support
and declares as it's deliberate judgement
that never in the history Of the Demo
cratic party has platform been writ
ten which embodied more completely
the interests of the whole people as
distinguishedfrom those who seek legis-
lation for private benefit than that
given to the country by the National
Democratic Convention of 1S96". Can
anything be more stultifying than such
a complete somersault-belying even
the semblance of principles And now
comes Senator Smith of New Jersey.
In May the State Convention met in
Trenton, and made the following de-
claration: 1--WE are in favor of firm
- u
unvarying maintenance of the present
gold standard. We are opposed to the
free coinage of silver at any ratio, or
to the compulsory purchase Of silver
bullion by the government" With
such instructions Mr.. Smith was sent
to Chicago, where he and the true
brains OF Democracy were overwhelm-
ed by the great tide Populism, Altgeld-
ism, Reputation and Anarchy. He
returned home and now declares in
favor of Bryan and Organism. Though
still adhering to previous opinions, he
"bows to the will of the majority" be-
lieving that even if Bryan may ruin
the country, the people should give
him the chance. And this man, Sena-
tor of our common country sent to Con-
gress to make laws for the best good
of all the people
In Maine the same thing took place,
but the nominee for Governor had the
conscientious decency to decline
The fact is, there is great winnow-
ing going on, and the Democracy is
shaking out it's populstic and anar-
chistic elements, and its brains and
intelligence and true patriotic adher-
ents are standing firmly with the Re-
publican party to crus sh out, now and
forever, these crazy, unsound ideas of
initiation, repudiatian and dishonesty.

iourn sine die, that rollcall be had upon
the motion and that the man in the gal
lery with the bell be put out"
The bell was shown to be an elevator
bell and not one being sounded by Gavin
McNab, and the rollcall proceeded. The
"ayes" numbered 227, showing that the
adjournment sine die was made by clear
majority of the committee. For this i'm
portant showing the members of the old
committee had been rustled together.
James J. Flynn, recently president of the
Iroquois Club, rose and declared his pres
eDce, making 228. This is the first open
and positive identification of himself with
the Buckley faction that Flynn has eff
fected.
A good many of the old committee went
out for drink as Mr.. Rothchild called
the new committee to order to begin its
career. In the new committee are 1876
members of the old one. The rollcall of
the new committee showed 373 present
The election of officers at once followed
according TO the programme arranged,
which made Rothchild chairman and
which will make NJ. J. Donovan chairman
of the executive committee to be created
The ticket of officers decided on by
Buckley and the other leaders was printed
on little ballots with the idea that if some
fool made further nominations the election
would be simplitied by voting Tor all the
officers at once. But nothing of the kind
happened.
NJ. ]. Donovan, who had retired from
the chairmanship contest, nominated Jo-
seph Rothchild in brief speech, which
testified to the many abilities of that
Native Son. J. II. Goldmier did nominate
Mr.. Donovan, but he at once gracefully
declined, nominations were closed the sec
retary cast the ballot of the committee
for Rothchild and the meeting heard his
thanks. By the same expeditions and har-
monious process, spiced with enthusiastic
applause throughout, James O'Connor be-
came vice-president, D. NJ. Gavigan re-
cording secretary, Joseph L. Twohig cor
responding secretary, and Samuel New
man treasurer.
On motion of A. T. SPOTS the chairman
was instructed to appoint committee of
seven on revision of the constitution.
Amendments they may decide to suggest
will be sent to all mem mbers of the commit
tee at least two days before the next meet
ing, which will occur within two weeks,
and they will be voted on then. An
amendment creating an executive COM
mittee will be the most important one that
will result.
With this the committee adjourned to
the call of the chair, and the new machine
ended Its first successful test.

IRON -MOLDRRs UNION.
Here after All Troubles Will Be Settled
by Arbitration,

heres a1Ler All troubles VIII Be Settled
by Arbitration.
]. F. Valentine, the vice-president of the
National Molders' Union, has returned
from trip along the coast, where, he has
been recognizing and uniting on firmer
basis the members of this trade. Since
the Goth ult. he has visited Los Angeles
San Jose, Stockton and Sacramento, and
Iatterly this City. He reports all OF the
unions to be in healthier cordition than
they have been for years. 1.-The Pacific
Coast molders are keeping pace with those
of the East" said Mr.. Valentine last even
ing. "Since July the membership in the
East has increased 6000.''
Mr.. Valentine states that the National
molders' unions are working on differen MT
principle from what they did formerly.
Now any differences between employers
and employees are settled by arbitration in
stead of strikes ana boycotts. Arbitration
is found to work better than coercion.
At meeting of the local union last
evening special committee presented for
inspection beautifully engrossed set of
resolutions of regret and respect, which
will be forwarded to the relatives of the
late treasurer, Thomas Hedeley, who died
Decem 81.

owing to the critical illness of James H.
O'Brien a detailed financial statement
could not be given then. but reported that
assessments collected amounted to 81, 900; ;
primary expenses were about 500, leaving
$500 to the credit of the new committee.
There was naturally applause and ap-
proval of the report.
H. C. Kinne of the Twenty ninth, long
a Democrat and teacher in the Lincoln
night school, offered some resolutions in
support of the Monroe doctrine and in
favor of taking Canada. They were as
follows:
RESOLVED, That the Democratic General Com
mittee of the City and County of San Francisco
emphatically indorSes the firm stand taken by
President Cleveland in support of the time
honored doctrine enunciated by President
James Monroe.
Resolved That we regard the occupation by a
hostile European power of a vast area of terri
tory bordering for 5000 miles on the northern
line of the United States as a standing menace
to the peace and safety of this Nation, and we
are therefore in favor of making vigorous
preparations for the purpose OF finally COM
pelIing the British Government to relinquish
possession of the Dominion of Canada.
Few grasped the resolutions, and they
went through quickly somewhat by de-
fault and more important business went on.
Tim Treacy expressed thanks that 1--WE
are here and that we have the right end, ,"
and his motion to thank the old officers on
the eve of Illegal adjournment" was
heartily adopted, as was the similar reso-
luton directed with flowers to NJ. J. Dono-
van and the primary committee by Walter
Gallagher.
NJ. J. Donovan rose as the bell in the hall
began ringing and said: ''Mr. Chairman,
l do now move that this committee ad-

Fellows Hall. In fact it is quite an in
novation to see several loads of sawdust
spread on the floor of the Odd Fellows
Hall. The sawdust was there for two
reasons. 1t was substituted for the signs,
Don't spit on the floor" and then the
floor was a brand-new hard-maple one,
the new gloss of which it was sought to
preserve. A big sign, "Please don't pound
the new maple floor with canes and UNI
brellas," called the attention of the Buck
leyites to the improvement.
1t was an important meeting, that ran
the smooth course laid out for it. The old
general committee elected to down Buck
ley forever in 1892 gave up its power and
retired. Buckley's present control of that
committee was again shown when roll
call showed 228 Ga majority present.
Then the new committee of 450, of which
Buckley is wholly master, organized and
began its campaign course.
Buckley was generally expected to be
present, but he had not returned from Ra-
venswood, whittier he went last Saturday.
The strong men of the Buckley faction of
the Democracy were nearly all there,
though, and as members of the new party
machine. A long list of them recalls to
the politically wise the local Democracy
that was before Rucklev fell and a new set
tripped in and secured party power and
for the lambs, as such refreshing showers
as last nights meeting, the preceding pri-
mary and the preceding enrolment fall in
swift succession.
John Mccarthy, president of the Occi-
dental Club; Samuel Newman, secretary
OF the Railroad Commission; ex-Postmas-
ter Bryan; A. L. SPOTS, long secretary of
many State central committees and coiner
at the Mint; Reel B. Terry, who said
AYE" twice. and nothing else; Alexander
Laidlaw, who wants to be Police Judge !;
ex-Superintendent P. F. Dundon; ex-
School Director Thomas Ford; P. J. Cor
bett, father of James j.; Attorney M NJ.
Foote; superintendent of Streets Ash
worth; Behrend Joost; Robert BOYD and
Walter Gallagher were among the we'll
known men who recall anti-revolution
Democracy.
There were others to make the recollec-
ton still more vivid. William n. Harri-
son-"Billy" Harrison-nephew of Buck
ley, x-superintendent of the Industrial
School and present chief Lieutenant of the
re-enthroned boss, was seated from the
Forty-third District. Little Maurice
Schmitt, ever faithful, voted again in a
Democratic council. ]. J. Maloney re-
membered how to put a motion. Alex
Greggains of Fire Department fame an
sweTed from the Thirtieth, where he Is
district boss, and Tim Treacy and many
others were in evidence as to the strength
of that general committee in the field of
practical politics.
That's the characteristic of this new
general committee-strong in practical
politics. One evidence of that strength
was. the way wise things were done-by
having deliberated well before the meeting.
Joseph Rothchild, acting chairman of
the old committee, had the minutes read
by Secretary James |. Twohig, and then
ex-senator Nj. }. Donovan, chairman of
the primary committee, reported the en-
rollment of 1880, the 'highly satisfac-
tory" primary, and so on. He said that

BIG MORTGAGE
Lucky" Borrows Five Hundred
and Ten Thousand Dollars
on His Property.
His Hotel, Annex and Santa Anita
Ranch Given in Security to the
Hibernia Bank.

An unusually heavy mortgage, covering
the entire Baldwin Hotel and annex thereto,
as also 200 acres. more or less, of the
Santa Anita ranch, located in Los Angeles
County, was presented for recording at the
City Hall shortly before 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon for the amount of $510, 600.
The mortgageor was E. j. Baldwin and the
mortgage the Hibernia Savings and Loan
Society of this City.
The lateness of the hour of presenting
this document for filing prevented the
ascertaining as to whether this is the re-
newaI of a previous mortgage or an original
obligation. AT all events, the Santa Anita
ranch is included in the mortgage just
filed. This fact is borne out by the depart
ure of Mr.. O'Connell. clerk IN the Hiber-
MIA Bank, who proceeded to Los Angeles
on the late train yesterday for the purpose
OF having the mortgage covering the Santa
Anita ranch placed on record at that place.

Grand Opera House.

Man Without a Country" which was
produced last night at the Grand, is a
melodrama of the most pronounced type,
and 1t not only afforded many opportuni-
ties TO the company, but also gave the
scenic artists the opportunity of distin-
gushing themselves.
The most stirring scene, as well as the
most artistically staged, was that which
occurs IN the sugar-mill. In field of ripe
sugar-canes there was two-storied mill
the machinery being on the upper floor
and the horsepower below. The double
dyed Villain, United States officer, stabs
an old man who unmasks his treachery
IN the lower story of the mill. The blind
grandchlld of the victim is above, and
hearing the struggle, she calls: Naughty
Victor, what have you done to my grand
pa?"
Victor rushes upstairs, persuades the
chlld to climb on the machinery and de-
sscendlng to the lower story whips the
morse into rapid motion, with the spirit and
grace OF ringmaster in a circus. Fred
Butler, who played the villain, is foiled as
usual, however, for just as the ma
chlne moved and the child is aboard to
be crushed On the wheel, the hero, the man
without country, whom Victor Saville
mas been pursuing with bloodhounds,
steals into the mill and saves the child in
the nick of time. The audience was so de-
lighted with this denouement that they in
sisted on having the curtain up again to
ENJOY the spectacle of Butler doing more
or the rlngmaSter act
