FLAG FACTORIES.

The Providence Journal has been inves-
tigating the manufacture of our National
flags and claims to have discovered that
the greater mum Der of them are the prod
ucts OF sweatshop labor in New York.
The Journal says: at is surely one of the
most curious anomalies that the sign and
symbol of liberty and equality should be
manufactured under conditions which as
an enlightened country we have tried to
forbid by law as species of oppression"
The reporter of the journal who investi-
gated the subject says the girls who make
our flags are crowded a score or so into
rooms in which there is only Just space
enough for their sewing achines and no
m ore air than each girl can consume and
live. The girls WORK from twelve TO four
teen hours a day for $5 week, aud the
conditions of their toll are conducive to
anything rather than thoughts of liberty
and independence.
This condition of affairs is one which
appeals to patriotic sentiment as well as
to the instincts OF humanity. 1t is sad
thought that the glorious banner which
we hail with such enthusiasm is the prod
uct of labor under conditions that would
be thought shameful even If found in
countries where the labor is that of heredi-
tary slaves. Great efforts have been made
in many States to prevent the sweatshop
system of work. and this newly announced
fact should induce to new energy in that

issued by the Government and which the
Government must be prepared at all times
to redeem in gold.
This claim of the President is not
justified by the well-tnown facts of the
case. Il has been clear to observing men
that the bond issues were largely for the
purpose of supplying the deficit in the
revenues. With a tariff yielding an in
come sufficient for the expenditures of
the Nation, there would be no such thing
as an endless chain to withdraw gold from
the reserve. Therefore it is by no means
proven that our system of National
treasury notes is injurious either to the
nation or to the people.
The currency reformers who are making
most noise are clearly determined to en-
force the Cleveland policy of finance upon
the country if they can possibly do so. We
regret to observe that some staIwart Re-
publican papers in the East show signs of
favoring the scheme. 1t is therefore i'm
portant to call attention at once to the
proposed end of the Indianapolis move
ment. Some plan Of tcurrency reform we
must have, but the reform must be on

NATIONAL MINING DEPARTMENT
Denver Times.


The San Francisco CALL has a very apropos
article upon the appointment of National
Secretary of Mines. II is suggested that there
be Cabinet officer or head OF the mining
department, and they suggest the following
resolution:
'Resolped, That the California Miners AS
sociation strongly and urgently desires the
appointment of Ca binet officer, to be known
as the Secretary of Mines and Mining"
The mining industry as a whole has had no
head in the United States Government. The
Commissioner of Public Lands superintends
some part of the work, the Bureau of Miner
alogy another and the Geological Survey a
third.
The industry is divided up and scattered in
SO many departments that the inevitable
result is confusion. and in many cases in
justice.
There have been repeated memorials to Con-
gress from miners stating specifically the
evils from which they suffer, and it has been
with great difficulty that miners have OBJ
tained even the most elementary and neces-
sary legislation to secure their rights and ad-
vance their interests The magnitude of the
mining industry is in itself sufficient to justify
the establishment of a separate department in
the National Government.
The great West is interested as much in min
ing as in agriculture. But mining is not con-
fined 10 the West II is an industry carried
on in all sections of the Union from the Alle-
ghanies to the Pacific Coast. 1t is, in brief, q
great National industry, and should have Ne.
tional recognition. The mining industry has
too long been neglected by the Government of
to be left TO subordinate officials in different
bureaus with the responsibility resting upon
no particular department. The work of the
Interior Department. too diverse for q single
Secretary TO give proper attention to all its
various departments. Every miner will rea-
lize the benefit that would accrue If mines
and mining should be taken out of the In
terror Department and made department OF
itself.
Mining is peculiarly business that involves
great expense. 1t is conducted under infinite
varieties and conditions and is thoroughly a
scientific Industry. The American miner is in
competition with all the scientific methods of
mining of other countries of the world. He
must be kept posted on all newly discovered
processes and appliances If he is to bring out
the best results from his work.
The Times heartily indorses the proposition
OF the San Francisco CALL for mining depart
ment By sufficient agitation IL could be
brought about. Let the matter be discussed
and arguments heard upon it. If the West
and other mining sections of the Nation
should determinedly ask for q Secretary of
Mining, or for bureau of mines or a mining
department at the National capital, 1t is very
doubtful if 1t would meet with strong oppo-
sition.

OLEVELAND'S MESSAGE.

As the time approaches for the assem-
bling of Congress public interest increases
in the forthcoming message of the Presi-
dent. Not much is expected of il, but the
people, with that sanguine hopefulness
which marks the American, do not de-
spair that Mr.. Cleveland may profit by
this occasion, and by taking bold and de-
cided action On several topics of great
interest go far to redeem the blunders OF
his administration in the past.
The country will care nothing for any
thing Mr.. Cleveland may say concerning
the currency or.tariff These issues have
been appealed to the people and the popu-
lar vote has been overwhelmingly against
his policy on each of them. Anything
which he could say concerning them
would be therefore more idle than twice
told tale and a matter fit only for prompt
relegation TO the wastebasket.
There are issues, however, on which Mr..
Cleveland can say much that would be not
only of public interest, but if rightly dealt
with would add some prestige to his term
of Office. These issues are the Nicaragua
canal, the funding bill and the Cuban
question. The President ought to speak
out boldly concerning each and ell of
them, and if he does so all he says will
receive the attentive consideration not
only OF Congress but of the Nation at
large.
The report OF Secretary Smith of the
last Congress encourages the hope that the
administration is opposed to the funding
bill. II this should be SO, MIR. Cleveland
ought to emphatically declare his opinion
on the subject at once and put an end to
that question for the rest of his term OF
Office. 1t would be a great relief to Cali
fornia and indeed to the whole of the
greater West to know that danger of fund
ing was past and that the Government in
tended to enforce its right and protect the
people against spoliatIon by the mo-
nopoly.
Equally beneficial would, be decided
declaration in favor of the Nicaragua
canal and in favor of some measures to
put an end to the prolonged war in Cuba.
1t is the general uncertainty regarding the
attitude of the administration concerning
these questions which gives the public an
interest in the forthcoming message. It
is everywhere felt that Mr.. Cleveland has
one more chance to redeem his admins.
tration ana make it respectable in Ameri-
can history, and, despite the disappoint-
ments of the past, there is a widespread
popular hope that he may have the sa-
gacity and the courage to do so.

owners along the right OF way. 1t is also lack
ing in the colu frigidity which charaeterizes
the heart that is now being offered to the meek
and innocent trolley by many of the residents
of Indiana avenue.
II Is heart made warm and active by the
increased palpitations caused by the jo1ting
ana rocking motion of an electric car. The
trolley is apparently the uncompromisfng foe
OF caruiatrophy. AS an accellator of heart
motion II is said that the trolley has no equal.
Ii this Is true why not more "troliey parties
IN the churches? AS Christmas approaches
wouldn't 1t be good thing If all humanity
got addicted to the trolley habit? Reres an
IDEA for the good women who are trying
TO wipe out the debt on the Woman's Temple.
Many man with plethoric purse and
shrinkage in the cardiac region will hereafter
avoid the trolley car as he would pestilence.
The cautious man will want TO take no chances
OF disturbance behind the visceral arches
that might induce him TO give literally TO
some worthy cause.
1t is just possible that the great need of So
ciety to-day is more trolley hearts and fewer
granite forma tions in the central organ of the
vascular system.

THE HOLIDAY TRADE.

We have celebrated our National
Thanksgiving, been duly grateful for ex-
isting good and Tejoiced in the promise of
better things to come. We turn this
morning to other things and begin to pre-
pare for the great holiday OF Christendom,
the celebration of Christmas. These
preparations will occupy US for nearly a
month, and will involve earnest thought
and the expenditure of considerable sums
of money.
1t is an old and trite theme that of pro-
noting home industries by our purchases.
Nevertheless THE CALL returns to il this
morning and urges reconsideration of it.
California occupies distinguished posi-
ton in the United States in regard to its
natural products and its manufactures.
We are to this country what Italy is to
Europe. This fact, however, is not fully
understood, and it never will be until we
make the Eastern people comprehend
what exquisite dainties and beautiful
novelties are produced here.
In that task every citizen should take
part. 1t will cost no man much to send
small quantity of California fruits, wines
or other delicacies to the East. If, how
ever, many should do so, the advantage
to the State would be worth thou
sands of dollars. The wide circulation of
our exquisite productions would create
demand for them, and the result would
be the development of a market which
would yield large returns through all
years to come.
We have repeatedly called the attention
Of Californians to the number of articles
produced in the State which are suitable
for Christmas presents. These include
almost everything from delicacies for
the table to artistic novelties. Our home
productions do not make great show in
the windows of our shops, but, neverthe-
less, they are by no means inconsiderable.
ANY intending purchaser who asks for
them can find them. We urge Christmas
purchasers, therefore, to ask for them.
1t will be easy to make selection from
| among them which will be far more pleas
ing to Eastern people than anything
W hich could be sent them of Eastern or
European production.
In setting about your holiday trade
make up your mind to do this much for
the industries of California. 1t will en-
tail upon you no extra cost. In most
cases it will prove an absolute economy
Products of California suitable for Christ
mas gifts can be purchased more cheaply
than products of an equal quality from
/ any other land. Help to make the prod
ucts of your State known abroad. Help

rich in every dainty pleasing to the taste.

WINTER TOURISTS.

We are pleased to note the Philadelphia
Record has called the. attention of the
people of that section to the advantages
which their own country has over Europe
as winter resort. As the Record says:
Millions upon millions of dollars are yearly
spent in finding warm nesting places along
the shores of the Mediterranean, where the
rigor of our Northern winters may be scaped.
Now, if "climate" OF suitable character be the
thing which our birds of passage are seeking
they need not 60 TO Europe or Africa TO find it.
Our own blessed country furnishes every
needed variety.
The suggestion made by the Record is
timely. A very large Dumber of people in
the colder States of the East are now pre-
pairing to seek warmer climate as soon
as the Christmas holidays are over. 1t is
most opportune, therefore, to remind them
that far pleasanter resorts are to be found
within the limits of the United States
than any which Europe affords.
To persons of limited means Florida and
the Gulf coast constitute q formida BILE
rival to California, because of the greater
cost to reach this State. To any one, how
ever, who can afford the time and expense
California is so far superior to the South
ern States that they can scarcely be con-
sidered in rivalry with its matchless
attractions.
While there are a few hotels in the
South equal to any we have in California.
they are costly in the extreme. The diff
ference IN our rates and those of the big
fashionable resorts in Florida more than
compensates for the difference in fare to
reach them for any one who is able to
spend the entire season from January to
April in pleasant climate. These facts
ought to be more fully made known in
order that we may receive our due share
of the winter travel from the colder States
of the East.
Whether the tourist contents himself
with Florida or comes to California matters
very little, however, TO the main issue of
the problem. The essential point is to make
1T clear TO the people of the East that
they do not have to cross the ocean in
order to find land of winter sunshine
AS the Record very truly says: "Why
should stormy and uncomfortable fight
across the Atlantic be made year after
year in pursuit of delights lying in wait
for US at our very feet? Why go to
Europe for any GOOD thing which we may
more easily and cheapIy get at homer"

THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

One of the i'm mportant issues of the dav
is the call made by the Indianapolis Board
of Trade upon similar bodies throughout
the country to assist in an agitation for
currency reform. 1t seems to be the in
tention of the promoters of this movement
to direct it toward the development of
popular sentiment favoring the retire.
ment of green backs, and the virtual adop-
ton of CIeveland's monetary policy.
1t will be we'll for the people to be on
their guard against this movement. 1t
must be remembered the victory in the
last election was not gained by Palmer
and Buckner and the goid-standard men.
1t was not triumph for Cleyeland' finan-
cial policy any more than for Clevelands s
tariff policy. 1t was Republican victory,
and signified the popular Endorsement of
Republican finance as well as of Repub-
lican tariff.
The people of this country are not in
favor OF retiring greenbacks. at any rate
they have never voted for such a radical
change in our financial system. Mr.. Cleve-
land has done everything in his power to
discredit our treasury notes, but he has
not succeeded in inducing any large num-
Der of people to believe that anything is
radically wrong with that monetary policy
which has prevailed among US ever since
the war, and which under Republican
administrations never failed to satisfy all
the needs of the people.
In con sidering the question it must be
borne N mind that our financial system
operated bene6cially so long as there was
no deficit in the treasury Mr.. Cleveland
has attempted to prove that the green
backs were the sole cause of the recent bond
issues inasmuch as they constituted q
means for withdrawing gold from the
National treasury. He set before the public
his famous endless chain theory and has
sought to prove that we can never have
sound system of finance as long as we
keep in circulation any paper money
