George Palmer.

Palmer is another member of the firm
which controls the San Francisco and
Pacific Glass Works. Like his colleagues,
he was ready and willing to express him
self fully on the question of projection.
'The laboring men in this line" he
said, "have suffered a reduction OF ID
per cent in wages since the Inauguration
of the Wilson tariff bill. This is true of
the country at large.
Since that time beer bottles have been
imported, both into this State and the
East, at prices less than they can be manu-
factured in either place.
81 don't think the money question
should be taken into consideration at all.
There is nothing the matter with money.
What trouble we are having can be
amicably settled in due time by inter-
national agreement. but protection is a
living, breathing issue, especially for Cali
fornla, and we must have it.
Manufacturers all over the country are
now thinking more of protection than of
anything else, and we look to the Repub-
hcan party for our salvation. If we are
disappointed, farewell to Pacific Coast in
dustrieS."
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-28
George w. NIcNear.

SIT is protection before silver in Califor-
mia, by all means" said the great shipper
and now -four manufacturer, when asked
for an opinion. "Our industries are GER
tainly of the first importance and must be
protected. After that we can regulate the
money. But first we must have some
thing to sell and something with which to
buy before we can consider the medium OF
barter and exchange. Our industries,
largely developed though they are, can be
considered only in their infancy. They
need protection and THE CALL is right in
assuming that tariff protection is the par
amount issue in the coming campaign so
far as California is concerned. 1t would
be difficult to draw a forcible local COM
parison between the effect of the Mckinley
and Wilson bills. We import no -four, as
you know, but in other lines of trade one
must close ones eyes to fail to see the
cause of the depression. We are all natu-
rally anxious to have a sound money
basis, but California is less interested in
the two metals than she is in tariff law
which shall enable US to do business with
the world on an equal footing"

KENNEDY, THE MARKSMAN
Startling Allegations Contained
in His Wife's Divorce
Complaint.
Whv the Lumber Dealer Tried to
Throw His Better Half Out
of a Winiow.

Albert w. Kennedy, son OF John +.
Kennedy, of the lumber firm OF Kennedy
e. Shaw, and himself an official and stock
holder of the San Francisco Lumber Com
pany, is being sued for divorce by his wife,
Hattie E. Kennedy.
The Kennedys were married about seven
wears ago. but OF late have not gotten
along as we'll as could be desired. In fact,
Judging from the complaint tiled yester-
dav. Mrs. Kennedy is fortunate in having
escaped death at the hands OF him who
promised to love and protect her.
The complaint is u long one and includes
many specific charges of cruelty. Among
others, there is one telling how warm,
palatabIe, recently purchased oyster-loaf,
which Mr.. Kennedy had probably oroughC
home as peace Offering, was hurled at
the unprotected head of his spouse. AS
might be inferred from the foregoing, Mr..
Kennedy was not at all particular IN MS
choice of missiles, and is accused OF
throwing almost every sort OF nttaole
househ hold implement at his wife. Shoes,
hats and various other articles OF wearing
apparel are included in the list.
On one exciting occasion the lumber
dealer, pres sumably tired OF throwing
things at Mrs. Kennedy, reversed the Or
der Of business He tried to throw Mrs.
Kennedy at hard, rocky piece of ground,
visible to him through an open window.
The distance the lady would have had
to fall before becoming part yof this bit
OF landscape is not mentioned in the COM
plant but, however, that is unimportant,
Tor, owing to his lack of training in the
casting OF heavy weights, the versatile
gentleman failed in his design.
Once and again he changed his marks
manship practices and, so the complaint
uarinfu his
cruelty by beating her. Occasions when
Mrs. Kennedy found it necessary TO fee to
the protecting arms of other ladies are
mentioned.
A certain Trixey Marshal's name is also
dragged into the case, Mr.. Kennedy being
charged with being too fond OF her COM
pany. Others besides Trixey are accused
but hers is the only name given.
Mrs. Kennedy asks for an absolute di-
vorce and the custody of her child.

Jacob Brandt.

All the tobacco raised by Culp is manu-
factured into cigars by Jacob Brandt at his
factory on Battery street, near Merchant.
Brandt is strong in his advocacy of protec-
ton, and would subordinate every other
issue to it.
~ am manufactures, California man
ufacturer," he said, land from the stand
point of experience in MY business l can
say that we need protection, and need it
badly.
81 don't believe the money question
should cut any figure in the coming cam
paign as compared with protection. l re-
gard this especially true Of California.
II am obliged every year to import
many thousands of pounds of Havana to-
bacco to satisfy the wants OF consumers,
and it sends large sum OF money away
from the coast annually. Ii we could keep
that money in circulation in this State we
would have so much of it that the parity
or disparity in the value of silver and old
would make little difference.
"Since the Wilson bill reduced the duty
on tobacco we have been forced to compete
with the coolie labor of the island of Su-
matra. What can a manufacturer do in a
case like that? Those coolies work for s
and 10 cents day and purchase all their
supplies from their employers.
1.-THE only way we stand any chance at
all is in being properly protected. We are
hoping for the day to come when the Re-
publicans will give it to u.s."

Hawley Bros.

This firm is extensively engaged in the
wholesale and importing hardware busi-
ness. The senior member of the firm
spoke intelligently of the business de-
preston OF the last two or three years, and
agreed with the CALL that to this State the
prime issue is protection. eve cannot
gloss over the fact that there has been a
great business depression during the last
three years." he said, land the Demo
cratic tariff must bear the blame. The
finance issue does not affect US. That is,
it is not near SO mportant-vitaily i'm
po-tant-as that of protective tariff.
On those lines the campaign should be
made by the Republican party in this
State. After the adoption of a policy
which will promote the prosperity of our
manufacto tories and build up our COM
mercial interests, il will be time enough to
consider the money question. l could
almost say that 1t would then regulate
itself. THE CALLS theory is sound. With
ont prosperlng industries we would have
little care or bother about money"
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-28
w. T. aarratt s. Go.

Benjamin CARAT expressed himself
strongly on the subject of protection.
"It is certainly the paramount issue in
California. | would like to see a sound
money, and l think silver should be a
legal tender, but for California protection
should be the first consideration. Unless
we have protective tariff I cannot place
my goods on the market in competition
with the product of foreign manufac-
turers. We are still in the mbryonic
state so far as our manufactures are con-
cerned. and we should have the fullest
protection. As to the comparison between
the Mckinley and Wilson bills, or tariff
laws, l think it must he obvious to the
most casual observer that the country has
suffered great loss under the present tariff
laws. California has beena great sufferer,
and our great need is protection.n

Joshua Hendy.

Joshua Hendy, president and manager
of the Joshua Hendy Machine Works, is
unquaiiiedly for the protective issue as
taking precedence over the money ques-
ton.
"What would this State be without the
farmer2" he asked.
"Yet we are fast driving them to the
wall. Look at the wool and raisin indus
tries-what they used to be. What are
they now? ] tell you the Wilson bill is
what broke California's back.
Protection is what California needs,
and the monetary question can be con-
sidered later.
"Then there is the Nicaragua canal. 1t
will give an outlet for all our products to

Fulton Iron Works.

James Spiers, the president of the Full
ton Iron Works, proved strong advocate
of protection. ut Is certainly the lead
ing issue for California, he said, "and
the money question must take second
place. Our industries are in the fostering
stage, and protection should be the watch

people of this State. Some time when

The San Francisco call., 1896-06-28
G. HI. Newman.

Newman, another member of the firm
that operates the San Francisco and Paci-
fic Glass Works, is equally emphatic in his
advocacy of protection.
"Four years ago, F" he said "glass-blow-
ers in this establishment, as rule, were
Democrats, but out OF the 100 men en-
ployed here 1t would be difficult-nay, I'M
possible-to find anything but Republi-
can now. The men are whooping it up
for Mckinley. No more Democratic glass
blowers.
"You see, when the Wilson tariff bill
went into operation the most OF them
thought that as the price of beer bottles
would be cheaper beer would be cheaper
But there they made a sad mistake. The
beer remained the same in price, but the
money to buy it with is missing.
The money question is a secondary
issue. So far as we are concerned we are
willing TO take either gold or silver in the
payment of bills, but mainly, we want our
men to work all the year round and we
cannot employ them without protection.
under the Mckinley tariff we were
working all the time, but under the Will
son tariff we have been able 10 work only
about two-thirds the time. This IS the
general experience of glass manufacturers
all over the country"

sperry Milling Company.

Horace Davis, president of this promi-
nent -four firm, said: 1.-THE CALL is indis-
putably right. Where will our orchards,
vineyards and other departments of agri-
culture be if they are not protected? The
tariff is by far more important issue
to Californians than silver. What do we
care about money if we have to use it only
to pay debts? Look at our orchards.
They are in their infancy comparatively.
They must be protected, and I should
think that every man In California who
has any connection with her industries
must see that protection is infinitely more
important than the settlement of the
money question. Tariff, and not silver, is
our issI1e"

Columns Carrlage CompanY.

Mr.. Glenn of this one of the leading car
riage manufacturing firms of the United
States was very frank 10 admit that he
could not grasp all the intricacies and
subtleties of the tariff and finance ques-
tions. "But," he continued, II agree with
THE CALL that the first and foremost issue
for this State is tariff and protection to
our industries. Our company does large
foreign trade, and naturally the tariff cuts
large figure. | have always thought my
self a Mckinley man, but l am free to
confess do not know just how l shall
vote until see what the other party does.
We all seem to be so badly mixed up on
the problem that it Is difficult for one to
get ones bearing. But as to California
her chief need is the fostering of her in
dustries. After that is accomplished to
the satisfaction of all concerned it will be
time enough TO think about money"

w. f. Litzius.

The cutlery side of the question is ably
presented by w. F. Litzius of the Will &
Finck Company.
81 think he said, that protection is
first and the money question can follow.
We want to keep as much of our money
at home as we can. Entirely too much of
it goes to Europe now.
''Let the tariff be as high as it can be. 1t
will compel us to keep our money al home
and start our own manufactures, which
will put men into employment.

are cheap if we have nothing in our
pockets to buy them with2 For the last

WeIIman. Peck & Co.

This firm of wholesale grocers deals
largely in imported articles and should be
in position TO judge of the effect of diff
ierent tariffs on the business of the coun-
try and particularly California. Mr.,
Wellman said; "THE CALL has mapped
out the only safe policy for the Republi-
can party in California. The tariff and
protection to our industries and CONNER
cial interests is certainly paramount TO all
other issues. AT the East the money ques-
tlon will probably give the impetus to pop

checking importations by a protective
tariff. None of them could answer. Grover
himself had to acknowledge that the alter
native was reduction in labor hire. That
was a nice statement to go before the Ia
boring classes. THE CALL is certainly
right in it's conclusion. Protection is the
primal issue in this State. Money will
take care of itself, but under a Wilson
tariff our industries are defenseless. Apart
from what the issue may be in the East,
there can be but one vital question in Cali
fornia. Silver or gold money cuts no figure
until we have secured profitable market
for our products Protection is most de-
cidedly the issue in California"

One of the largest fruit-packing estab-
lishments in Central California is that of
Hunt Bros. & Co. in Santa Rosa, Sonoma
County. The company employs between
zoo and 500 hands. and its business aggre-
gates hundreds of thousands of dollars.
]. H. Hunt, the founder and head of the
company, was in the city yesterday and
expressed himself strongly. He has been
a Democrat from the casting of his initial
vote. Eyes, l have been a Democrat all
my life, and am a Democrat still, but 1
fear / shall have to vote for Mckinley. OF
course, as a Democrat who came from a
race of Democrats, l hesitate about an
nounclng such a decision, but it is a
solemn fact nevertheless. There has been
q gradual decline among the manufacture
ing industries under the late tariff-or
during the last two years and a half-and
it amounts to the same thing, whoever
considers the situation. l concur most
heartily that the tariff is the issue in Cali
fornia above all others. Silver can take
care of itself until after we place our in
dustries on a prosperous and permanent
basis. 1t is not alone the manufacturers
and those engaged in the various depart
ments of commerce who are affected. The
farmers feel the pressure. Their products
are worth less to them during such times,
and in our business we hear their COM
plants on every hand. California must
battle for a protective tariff"
