THE OoWARDLY POWERS.

It IL hard to understand how Christian
Europe could permit itself to be DOM
mated by the Turkish Government when
ever the Sultan concludes that he wants
no interference in the work of butchering
his Christian subjects. A Turkish Cabi-
net Council has just been held. and Greece
notified that she would be held respon-
sible for any assistance that is hereafter
given to Crete in the way of permitting
arms and ammunition to be smuggled out
of Greece and into Crete. A parallel case
would be threat of Spain to thrash the
United States unless public sympathy and
secret aid 10 the Cubans quit manifesting
themselves.
Right upon the heels of the Sultan's
bold stand the Christian powers joined in
note to Greece that she must obey the
Mussulman butcher, and moreover the
diplomats of Europe have suddenly with
drawn their sympathy from the Cretans.
With the news of the cowardly backdown
of the powers come accounts Of the most
horrible Mussulman atrocities in Crete,
Armenia and Macedonia. To their credit
and manliness, be it said, the Cretans re-
sent all overtures for peace on the basis of
submission to the Porte's authority.
1t is to be hoped that Russia, as was in.
mated in dispatches the other day, has and
will continue to refuse to cooperate with
the powers to maintain the Turkish Govern
ment, for it certsinly means only hostility
toward the Sultan by the Czar. and as the
outcome of such strained relations could
only be a declaration of war, the end of
the Turkish empire may be near. Never
theless. we permit Spain to do to Cuba
what the powers allow the Sultan to do to
his Christian subjects, and just at this
time there are no indications that our
Government is going to change its policy
toward the struggling Cuban patriots.
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-30
CALIFORNIA; NEEDS.

However much importance may be given
to the money question in other parts OF
the country, in California the tariff ques-
ton will naturally and necessarily take
precedence. The industrial resources OF
California are as valuable as they are vast
and the progress of the State unquestion,
ably lies on lines that are in harmony
with such policy as will encourage capi-
tai to engage in the work of transforming
the various kinds of raw material into i'm
ished merchanta BILE commodities.
The State is interested in the money
question, quite as much so as any other
section of the country, but what is wanted
first is opportunity for new capital to open
up new industries, and by opportunity we
mean such governmental protection as
shall assure capital that it will not be
driven to the wall by unreasonable and
unfair foreign competition. The State
needs very much larger population, but
there must be something to not only make
it to the interest of home-seekers to come
here, but they must be assured that when
once here they will not be obliged TO sit
idly by ana see the ships of China and
Japan land goods upon our docks at prices
to compete with which they would have to
accept reduction in wages equal to fifty
per cent or more.
California is in her swaddling clothes as
to industrial enterprises, but she has
rything that is needed but opportunity
to make her an industrial giantess.
The time has arrived when the issue of
whatever protection may be needed to un-
fold the State industrial possibilities
should be made not only clear and dis
tinct, but paramount to all other Ma
tional questions. California must have a
merchant marine. but first let there be
mills and factories 10 furnish tonnage for
merchant marine. California needs to
be grldironed. by railroads, but there must
be manufacturing centers in different parts
of the State to give freight to haul. There
needs to be scores of interior manufactur-
ing and commercial centers, but capital
must first go and offer employment to
labor. California is rich in everything
that is required to make her an empire
of wealth, industry and commerce. but
what is the sense of undertaking the de-
veIopment of her resources if there be no
protection against destructive invasion?
Keep the question of the necessity for
protection prominently to the front until
it is secured.

ley, and while it would go against the
grain to vote the Republican ticket it
would not be nearly so humiliating as it
would be to support the despoiIers of their
own party. BY holding another conyen-
ton two very satisfying results would be
obtained. In the first place. such action
would secure the return of the name and
the machinery of the party to those who
nave stood guard over the organization in
the past, and in the next place they would
have the opportunity to vote for such g
ticket as they would have nominated at
Chicago had they not been deceived by
Populists and anarchists disguised in
Democratic clothing. In view of the plight
IN which the "true blues" find the emselves
they have no other way out of the dilemma a
than to hold another convention, for, after
all, 1t is more desirable to keep free and
unspotted from Organism than to win
great victory at the polls.
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-30
THE WOOL INDUSTRY.

Wool production should be prominent
and profitable industry throughout the
Pacific Coast country, but it is not, and
for very good reasons. In California alone
the loss is enormous because of the Will
SON tariff act. 1t is estimated that the
clip this year will show decrease OF
nearly 6,000,0 900 pounds as compared with
the last year of the tariff act Of $780, and
unless there is legislation to put a stop
to importations ffom Australia and other
countries where the cost OF production is
so much less we shall not only not pro-
duce wool in California for commercial
purposes, but the question of sufficient
supply of mutton will become a serious
one.
Wool-growers are so isolated from the
highways of trade and travel that people
generally are unacquainted with the i'm
portance of the business to the coun-
try. Under the operation of the pres
ent tariff law we are importing
nearly l250OO0O0 more pounds of
wool annually than formerly, which not
only operates to just about cut former
prices in half, but sends fully $4,000 900
abroad to pay for wool that should go TO
Our own wool-producers. There are
grades of wool which are not obtainable
IN this country and their importation
does no. interfere with our home indus
f. try, but when il comes to importing say
125, ,000 600 pounds of the kind we do pro-
duce at about 90 per cent of the price
our producers should have to make the
business profitable, there is not much to
encourage sheep-raising in this country.
The last year of the Mckinley act we inn
ported wool, shoddy and wooden goods to
the amount of, in round mum bers,
$S1, 100000, and the importations of the
same kind OF articles last year aggregated
$94, 100000. This makes a difference
against this country of $4,000, 600, fully
$50,000000 of which was not only net
loss to US, but we had to send gold abroad
to pay the bill.
In 1891 wooI-growers realized good
profit on their clip, while the value of
their sheep was S10S,0o0,00o. This is put
ting sheep per head at 81 81, which was
the average price that year. In 1895 the
wool clip had valuation of $26, ,0O0, 900.
against $70,O00,00 in 1891, and, mean
while, the total value of the sheep of the
country decreased to $67, 900, 600. In 1891
the average price of wool was IL cents and
8 cents in 1895. 1t is very evident that
unless the cause of these decreases in wool
and sheep values is removed it will be a
mere question of time when the entire
wool industry of the country will be a
thing of the past 1t would seem to be-
hoove the people of California to bestir
themselves in the interest of the States
wool industry. Unless reasonable protec-
ton is forthcoming in the near future
there will be no sheep on the coast for any
purpose.

IT WILL BE THE ISSUE.
Cleveland Leader.

Senator Quay said in an interview the other
day that he believed the tariff question would
soon come to the front in the campaign. sena-
tor Quay is right.
There are millions of people in the United
States who are still determined that protection
shall be restored to the tariff law of the coun-
try. The hundreds of thousands of workmen
employed in the industries of the Eastern and
Middle States who have suffered untold loss
because of the inauguration OF Democratic
tariff reform; the thousands of merchants who
have seen their business nearly destroyed by
the blighting effects of the Democratic policy;
the farmers in all parts OF the country from
whom millions of dollars have been taken by
the Democratic free trade in wool-all these
are convinced that prosperity can return only
through restoration OF protection.
Why should not the tariff be an issue? The
tains q strong declaration in favor of return
to the protective policy, while the Popocratic
platform adopted at Chicago insists that the
present tariff law is all right, and that tarih
duties should be levied solely for purposes OF
revenue. The two platforms define tariff is
sue, and when once the people become con-
v1nced, as they are sure to be, that all they
need is the opportunity to work and earn
living, they viii demand that the orators of
the two great parties explain their position
upon the tariff question. Every man who
votes this year for the candidates of the Chi
cage convention will vote for continuance of
law which, while falling to protect American
LABOR, also fails to provide sufficient revenues
Tor the support of the Government.

THE MAss-MEETING.

The great mass-meeting at Metropolitan
Temple on Tuesday evening will hardly
have much effect upon the gang of seven
on the Board of Supervisors whose con-
duct it so severely condemned. That gang
has been condemned many times at the
bar of public opinion and has grown
callous in conscience and feeling. The de-
nunciation of their practices by honest
men affects them now only in their man.
ners and not their morals. They swear,
but they do not repent.
The benefit to be expected from the
mass-meeting will be in the effect it pro-
duces upon the popular mind and the
Influence it will have in determining votes
in the coming municipal election. If it
rouses the people to an understanding of
the evils. which result from the election of
corrupt officials to Office much good will
have been accomplished. For the punish
ment: of evildoers we must look to the
courts. Mass-meetings, however large or
however earnest, can punish no man who
is careless of fair fame or good repute
among his neighbors. They can serve no
good purpose except the one of making
the people resolve to turn down all rascals
at the next election and raise to Office only
those citizens whose tried and tested
probity in private life makes it certain
they will be honest and true in official
station.
1t should be borne IN mind by every
taxpayer that certain sum of money is
necessary every year for municipal pur-
poses. If one citizen is allowed TO shirk
his taxes another citizen must pay them.
If Property valued at millions of dollars is
allowed by official favoritism to escape the
common tax, then other property must
bear a heavier burden. Unjust assess
me nts, therefore, work a double injury to
the community. They induce the rich to
resort TO corruption in order to escape tax
alton, and they Cypress the poor with an
unjust portion of the burden of municipal
government. Where iniquity is permitted
the innocent suffer, and all human expert
ence proves that wherever this occurs it
is always the strong and the powerful that
escape, while the weak are overwhelmed.
1t was not by chance that the property on
which assessments were lowered by the
gang of seven was that of rich and power
full corporations. Only such powers can
gain favors at the hands of such men. 1t
is matter Of concern of every taxpayer,
therefore, to elect just men to Office. That
fact should be borne in mind from now
until election day. The indicted seven
can be left to the courts. The thing for
the people to do is to elect honest men
next time

THE OLD DEMOCRACY.

The announcement that Senator Hill is
for ticket that shall represent Demo-
cratic principles strengthens the revolt
against the acts and platform of the Chi
cago convention, but action looking to the
calling of another convention had already
been taken by the old Democracy, and a
convention will surely be held early in
September to nominate candidates for
President and Vice-President. OF course
no one expects that such ticket would
stand the ghost of a chance to carry the
country, but with the Simon-pure Demo-
crat the next best thing to enjoying the
spoils of Office is the keeping of his party's
fences in good repair. The Democratic
party has good many able politicians,
but it does not require very great amount
of political sense to know that if Bryan is
defeated his wing of the party would go
into oblivion and that if he wins there
would be permanent fusion between it
and the Populist party.
As political proposition. therefore, an
other convention will have to be held and
candidates nominated and voted for in
order to have political organization in
1900 The work of the Chicago conven-
ton was theft, pure and simple. The con-
vention was packed with anarchists,
Populists, communists and few weak
kneed Democrats, who captured the name
and the machinery of the Democratic
party, but refused to carry off any of the
principles OF the party. 1t was a case OF
stealing the livery Of reputable, though
erring, principles to serve the cause of re-
pudiation, confusion and sectionalism in.
The "true blues" are thus driven into
holding another convention to maintain
their self-respect. In TACT it is either candi-
dates of their own or rallying to McKin-

THE MAN WHO WILL.

Though lowly born and humbly bred
In Poverty g dominion,
The man who will may rear his head
Onward and upward may he tread,
Despite adverse opinion.
If tricky Fortune seem 70 smile
On many another brighter,
The man op whom she spends no vile
Should quicklier pass each weary mile
His knapsack's ali the lighter.
With naught to WOO his steadfast will
Astray from his ambition,
Sooner should he ascend the hill,
Prepared to win and ably fill
The coveted position.
Let none lament that Fate declined
With plenteous gifts to store him;
The man who will may leave behind
The clay he was and some time find
Life's ioyance spread before him.
