sources of this country IN way that shall
amply remunerate capital and labor. For
more than third of a century the
schedule of wages paid to labor in the
United States has been from 25 per cent to
more than 100 per cent higher than in
other countries, and this difference the
Republican party proposes to maintain In
any event. Capital is more than willing
that the wages OF American labor should
be very much higher than in other coun-
tries. out capital must be protected against
the product of cheap labor In other couu-
tries if it is to maintain high wage
schedule in its own industrial plants.
This the Republican party agrees to do,
but only up to the point where high wages
to labor and a reasonable profit to
capital are secured. After that foreign
mill and factory products may come in
competition by paying for the privilege In
the shape of customs duties.
High protection would not allow foreign
competition under any circumstances,
while free trade would invite competition
without providing protection to the
American wage schedule against the low
wages of other countries, which would
operate to oblige our labor to conform to
the wage schedules of Europe and the
Orient or go into idieness.. High protec-
ton would put American labor at the
mercy of capital, and free trade would putt
at the mercy of foreign pauper ompetition,
but tariff for protection would hold the
wages OF labor to the highest possible point
and protect it against the cheap labor OF
other countries on the one hand, and
against capital encroachment on the other.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
THE FIRST PLow.


CHARLES s. CAPP BELIEVES 1T WAS MADE FOR
HIM IN STOCKTON IN 1851.
To the Editor Of the San Francisco Cdlt-SIR
In your paper of yesterday appeared tele.
graphic item from San Jose announcing the
death OF John Balbach, pioneer OF Santa
Glare County. In the course of the item occurs
the following statement:
In the spring OF 1852 Mr.. Balbach manufactured
the first plow ever made on the Pacific Coast, and
the following year he made over fifty plows.
The statement as to that being the first plow
made here is inaccurate. While not sure by
any means that my plow was "the first plow
dated the above by al least wear. for early in
the spring OF 1851 had plow made for me
In stockton. The share was made from piece
OF boiter-iron, first cut in the shape of a dia-
mond ana bent so as to turn the sod So the
maker called it a.'diamond plow."an said
he had made lots of them in Missouri or some
where in the Western States. The coulter was
made from one or two large rasps or fiat files

THE BoLT1NG NEWSPAPERS.
Boston Herald.

The number OF newspapers that have bolted
the Democratic ticket for the Presidency is
now reported to have reached nearly 200. We
doubt ii the public fully realize the significance
of this demonstration. Nothing like it, we
think, has ever been kn own before in American
politics-certainly nothing like it in tho
previous history of the proverbially faithful
Democratic party. Here are the elements Of
disintegration, if it is possible to produce
them. The places of none of these boiling
journals have been filed, it will be observed,
by accessions from he other side beyond the
limits of few of the smallest States of the
union. We see no noting of accessions OF any
Importance outside of the press in any other
quarter than this limited one il point of num-
bers. There are plenty of rumors of what is to
be, but how feeble is the figure they cut in
contrast with the solid facts above notedl

How THE INDUSTRY CAN BE REVIVED FOR THE

How THE INDUSTRY CAN Be REVIVED FOR THE
BENEFIT OF ALL.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. l, 1896.
Editor CdH-SIR: As THE CALL speaks for all
and is an earnest advocate of home industries,
the notice in your issue of the 2Sth inst. of a
meeting of shoemakers in an effort to revive
what was once flourishing industry of our
City recalled to my mind that the manu-
facturers, with the aid of Fugitive Matthew.
their efficient secretary, have accomplished
their efforts not to be "dictated to by labor
unions and run their business as suited them
selves" Which they have done, with the re-
suit that instead of hundreds of shoemakers
being employed, their factories are mere
skeletons of what they were before they began
their crusade for freedom and now that
their business languishes and their trade has
been absorbed by the East, we, with that
Christian spirit that always animates true
trade unionists and those who have the well
fare of our State at heart. will meet them more
than half way to revive prosperity in their
bu siness, but on true union lines.
If they are sincere in their desire for re-
vival of trade in their particular branch of in
dustry, it can only be brought about by con-
certed movement among themselves TO cease
buying all of their stocks from the East and
advertising it as of home manufacture, when
all of us know that such is not the case. and
join hands TO restore the Shoemakers' White
Labor League to its former position before it
was disrupted by their combined and unwise
efforts, and to place their stamp on no goods
but those made here. 1 firmly believe the
labor unions, with the assistance of all who
have the Interests of our City and the prosper
itv of its citizens at heart will do the rest and
all be benefited in the end, but no duplieity
will gain the N mueh-desired object
We must all work together, and by adveItis-
ing. personal appeals, ETC., their unwise action
of trying to disrupt labor unions and destroy
ing their own business can in q few years once
more be restored to them. Respectfully.

THE LITERARY GOSSIP.

I do not know what Byron wrote
No time to read I've had.
But he's the man whose foot was clubbed
And morally was bad.
I've never read up shakespeare

But am quite familiar
With his tendency to s'bat."
i don't recall single bit
Of Mr.. Shelley's rhyme.
But he's the man who tried TO have
Two spouseS at one time.
They say that Pope was pretty good
I've never seen his work.
But he's the humpbacked fellow
With q tongue Just like dirk.
I've not perused line of Poe--
But Know what think.
He is the man who couldn't write
Until he'd h ad drink
And so, you see, upon the whole,
I've really somehow got
A good idea OF all the queer
And literary lot.
And while could not lecture quite
To please the learned mind,
sort OF think I'd captivaie
