The practical rebuke of business men 10 W.
4. Hearst for his disreputable style OF journal
Ism pursued in the New York Journal ana the
san francisco Examiner is finding expression
IN the withdrawal of financial support 10 MS
papers. 1t is said that the sales OF the PONCE
Gazette and similar papers have sadly fallen
on since Hearst took charge OF the journal ana
began editing its carloads of libelous scandal,
declasse articles and scurrilous stories. 1t Is
also announced that Willie has sunk two mil
lions of his mothers fortune in the unsuccess-
ful effort to establish his metropolitan sheet
and the end is not yet. Its present monthly
loss Is said to be 100000. Merchants, large
advertisers and corporations, whose legitimate
interests are the subject of daily attacks, nat
urally withhold their support from Mr..
Hearts New York paper, and the same
state OF affairs is noticeable in the manage
ment OF the Examiner. Its attitude in the re-
cent election campaign has cost 1t many adj
vertisers and thousands OF subscribers. The
loss OF its expected annual retainer OF $30, 900
from the Southern Pacific was blow from
which 1t has not yet recovered, and that expe-
rience, 1t is said, has been repeated in more
than one quarter. To meet monthly deficien-
cles In Its profit and loss account, the Exam
liner has had recourse to the generous policy OF
making its employees pay the penalty of its
owners acknowledgements. Salaries Ia the
Mission-street editorial rooms have been cut
right and left, and each reporter has now to do
the work of six at one-third of his former
wages. Retrenchmeht In every department
continues to be the watchword of the Exam
liner. A few weeks ago Hearst endeavored to
curtail the expenses of his news service by a
little scheme which did not work. He threat
ened to start new evening paper in San
Francisco if the afternoon papers now in the
field did not join his news syndicate and so
lessen its cost to Hearst. The bluff did not
work, the Bulletin and Post refusing to "stand
In" on the Hearst news bureau scheme. The
Evening Examiner" proved to be as visionary
as most of Hearst's schemes. The dethrone-
ment of the self-crowned Monarch" is now q
part of the history of Pacific Coast journalism.

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

At the in vitation of William ]. Buch-
anan, United States Minister to Argen-
tina, delegation of twenty manufacturers
left this country last May and made trip
to South America for the purpose OF see
ing what could be done to promote Ameri-
can trade with the countries of that CONT
nent.
The dele cation on its return made an
exhaustive report which has attracted
considerable attention in the East and is
of as much interest to California as to
that section. 1t shows that the condition
of our trade with South America is de-
pIorable. We are sending to the markets
of those countries only a small portion of
the goods demanded there, while the
English, the Germans and the French are
profiting by our negligence.
The people Of South America, it is said,
are, with the possible exception of those
of Chile, more favorable to trade with the
United States than with Europe. They
prefer our manufactured goods to those of
European make when they can be had on
equal terms; but while we have made no
efforts to supply their markets the
Europeans have done everything to obtain
them, and as consequence, while the
European trade is increasing our COM
merce with that continent has declined
nearly 81 per cent inside of thirty years
and its course is still downward.
The first step in the direction of OBJ
tanning South American trade is the i'm
provement of our communications with
those countries. We must have more
steamers or we cannot have more trade
From the report of the delegation it is
evident that some effort will be made to
procure Government aid for lines running
between Eastern seaports and the Atlantic
coast of South America from the next
Congress, if not this winter, and it be-
hooves the manufacturers and merchants
of California to be equally vigilant in en-
deavoring to promote lines from the
Pacific Coast States.
1t is certain the development of our
trade with South American countries will

SIXTH STREET.

The rejoicing last evening by merchants
and property-owners on Sixth street in
celebration of what they have accom-
pilshed in the way of improving their
thoroughfare was one n which the whole
City can feel more than ordinary satisfac-
ton. The subject to which the public
spirit of the progressive men on that street
is directed is one which concerns us all
and in which all are benefited by every
forward step which is taken.
Almost every street in the City needs
improvement of many kinds, but this is
particularly so on those great thorough
fares which lead from Market street south
ward. The streets of that section of the
City have been neglected even more than
those elsewhere, and yet none more surely
need to be put into the best possible con-
dition.
When the coast road is completed. the
main thoroughfare of travel between Los
Angeles and San Francisco will be along
that line. The majority of tourists to the
City will then arrive at the Fourth and
Townsend streets depot, and the thorough.
fares leading therefrom will constitute the
main entrances by which visitors will
reach the hotels and the business center
of the City. All of those streets, there
fore, should be put in good condition, and
Sixth street merits an early attention to
its needs by reason of the fact that its
merchants and property-owners have done
so much themselves to make improve
ments.
1t certainly would not be asking too
much of the street railway company to
equip Sixth street with better streetcar
service. The company should take part
in the work of improvement and do its
proper share to complete it. Sixth street
has great future before it, and the car
company will lose nothing by cooperating
with its merchants in making it as speed
lily as possible one of the most attractive
thoroughfare IN San Francisco.
The fact that so much remains to be
done does not detract in the least from the
excellence of what has been accomplished.
The enterprising, public-spirited men who
by their own efforts have done so much
for the street have set good example TO
the whole City, and were fully justified in
making their accomplishment the occasion
of general rejoicing.

The ART EXHIBIT.

The winter exhibition of the San Fran
cisco Art Association which has just
opened consists entirely of the work of
California artists, and the State may well
be proud of the abundant evidence of local
talent with which the walls of the Hop
kins Art Institute are now beautifed. The
display is not quite equal in numbers to
the one last spring, but is considered fully
equal in the general fineness of the work
manship to the exhibits of previous sea-
sons.
1t is part of the policy of those who are
fostering art by means of these exhibit
tons to permit no retrogression among
the artists. The man who has shown him.
self capable of finer work must continue
to come up to the standard set by himself
or else his pictures will not be recognized,
even though they fully equal those of
some beginner whose first efforts find a
place in the exhibits. By such rules the
tyros with splendid possibilities are en-
couraged to develop what is IN them and
those who have reached large measure
of success are compelled to regard their
achievements as but the starting point for
new efforts.
1t is usually COHSlu6T6u LQdD n new COun-
try will be too much occupied with the de-
velopment of It's material resources to ac-
complish much in the fine arts, and il
we are to regard California's present per-
Torrance as but the promise of future
work, then we may we'll expect that we
will have artists who can equal the great
masterpieces of Europe. California is a
land so picturesque that if, as many be-
lieve, this young Nation is destined to de-
velop a higher civilization in all ways
than the world has ever seen, it is proba-
Bile that amid these mountains and in this
atmosphere of fog and sunshine will be
nurtured the new masters who are to sur
pass the old.
The exhibit SEN on the walls of the
Hopkins Institute gives ample encourage
ment to these sanguine hopes. 1t must
be borne in mind, however, that the sue
cess of art depends not altogether upon
the skill and industry of the artist. 1t is
in large measure dependent upon the
general culture of the community in
which it is carried on. The winter exhibit
ton affords a good opportunity to the
people of San Francisco to advance them
selves in that culture, and it should be
made use of to its full extent.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-12-06

be one of the most important problems to
be dealt with by the incoming admins
tration. President Mckinley can be
counted on to carry forward the great
work begun by Secretary Blaine under
the administration of President Harrison,
and we can look for speedy re-establish-
ment of reciprocity treaties when he
comes into office.
These treaties, however, will not be suf-
fcient TO secure US the markets which we
desire. The one thing essential to COM
merce is shipping. 1t is that which we
must revive if we are to reap any benefit
from commercial treaties. Other nations
have been liberal in promotlng their COM
merce by the up-building of an extensive
merchant marine and the United States
must either follow the same course or
abandon the field even in our own hemis-
phere,

TRUSTS AND TRADE.

The weekly review of trade by R. @. Dun
& Co. states among the reasons for increas-
ing confidence IN the coming of better,
trade conditions that two of the largest
combinations in the country, by which
the iron industry has been retarded, have
been abandoned and that there are reasons
for believing two others will soon share
the same fate.
The expression OF this opinion on the
part of a well established commercial
journal shows that the belief that trusts
aud com binatlons of similar nature are
injurious to business is not confined to
farmers and consumers. Commercial men
themselves recognize the evil of such or
CARNATIONS and count it good thing
when they go to pieces.
II is worth noting, moreover, that Dun
& Co. regard the abandonment of these
combinations as not only sign of the
coming of better times. but as a proof
that better times to somo extent are
already here. The Review says: 'Such
state of things within month after the
election suggests that these organizations
formed when depressed business failed to
support all the works in existence are not
expected to survive a general revival of
ample demands for products.T
This means that trusts are the outcome
of hard times and not of prosperity. 1t
is complete refutation of the oft-repeated
assertions of the free traders that such
combinations are caused by system of
high protection. 1t is under protection
that we are most prosperous and therefore
