School.

School OF Industry, the boys reformatory at
lone. He then came to this City in company
with State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton S. T. Black, who laughingly remarked
yesterday that he is convincing Keyes of the
error of his Democratic ways, has him already
on the run and really believes that he will
vote for Mckinley, though he will not yet
acknowledge it.
Professor Keyes is tall, distinguished look
ing young man, with hair and mustache of q
silvery gray that adds considerably to his ap-
pearance.
1.-THE Throop Polytechnic Institute" said he,
''has been in existence five years, and two
classes have been graduated--twenty-fou
students in all. One OF the graduates is at the
head of the sloyd department of the Los
Angeles school. Another is at the head of the
sloyd department of a private school in Los
Angeles. Another is in the Sloyd department
in the Riverside school. One is in the National
Bank al Los Angeles. Another is bookkeeper
in large mercantile establishment. Another
is instructor in mathematics and mechanical
draw ing in Throop. Two are teachers in Ven
tura and Santa Barbara counties.
''The present school plant is worth $40, 900,
and was largely the gift of Amos G. Throop
during his lifetime. He also endowed the in
stitution with 100000, none of which, how
ever, is yet available, because of the unsettled
condition of the estate. Tuitions are the prin-
cipal source OF support. each pupil paying
sos year. There are 313 students between
the ages OF ID and IS. little over two-thirds
of them are boys. The students board In pri-
vate families in Pasadena. The seven south
ern counties furnish the majority of the stu
dents, although number come from Western
and Mississippi Valley States.
There are twenty-one teachers in all-four of
them wonderland, by the way, two of the de-
partments are in charge of Stanford graduates

cal engineering, and Ernest B. Hoag, teacher
of physiology.

no student from elementary English and Ger.

1.-THE mechanical work consists of an hour
and a half spent each day in the shop and one
to two hours in the draughting-roo At the
same time nothing is eliminated from sound
education along traditional lines of study.
More than pure gain is made by applying
academic principles to the daily shopwork
and drawing.
1.-THE Polytechnic Hall contains the wood
working shop, the pattern shop, the forging
shop, the cooking school, the sewing and gown

CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS.

AS the campaign progresses it will be
seen that the protest uttered in the Chi
cago convention by Whitney, Russell,
Hill and Villas gave expression to seati-
ment which is not confined to few lead
ing politicians disappointed in their
aspirations for Office. It expressed the
earnest convictions of conservative Demo-
Gratis all over the country. In San Fran
cisco, as well as in New York and all along
the Pacific Coast as well as along the At
lantic, that protest is being repeated and
reasserted.
Business men who believed in the prifl-
ciples of Democracy will not follow blindly
the lead of Altgald, Tillmzn and Bryan.
They know that Government by these
men would be disastrous to every interest
and every industry of the people. 1t
would fill the country with disturbance,
arraying one class of people against an
other, and be productive of evils which,
in the aggregate, would be hardly les
disastrous than civil war.
That clear headed, patriotic Democrats
perceive the danger ahead is beyond ques-
ton. We have published in THE CALL in
terviews with many OF them in this City,
and the prevailing sentiment among them
is unmistakabie. They will not vote the
Democratic ticket so long as the Demo-
cratic party is controlled by agitators,
demagogues and men utterly incompetent
either to lead or follow wisely. Thousands
of men who would gladly have supported
Whitney or Pattison will not support
Bryan. They will not lend their assistance
to men who are trying to raise class issues
and sectional issues in this country. They
are business men and they wish business
to be ON a safe basis. They are patriots
and they wish the Republic to be free
from disorders and dangers. They will
vote this year for Nc Kinley because he
stands for protection that means pros
perity in business, and because he has a
record of patriotism that means devo-
ton to the welfare of the whole people
and the whole Union.
The truth is Democracy is an utterly
discredited party. 1t was never so weakly
or so viciously led as nov. Never did it
have in Congress so many men each aspir-
ing to dictatorship and eager to rule or
ruin the Republic. Cleveland could not
control these men. They made his admin
istration fiasco. They gave the country
a deficit tariff. They forced the President
to borrow money and then denounced
him for doing it. They broke every pledge
made 10 the people or to neanother. They
filed both halls of Congress with bitter
denunciations of each other until their
open, loud and shameless quarrels became
public scandal. Such leaders will not
find support in America. If there were
not Republicans enough to battle such
schemes and such Catalines there would
be enough conservative Democrats to do
it. The voice of protest at Chicago rings
through the land like an alarm bell, and
all good citizens will rally to confront the
danger.

A FEW TARIFF FACTS.

The Chicago conventions platform was
constructed, it would appear. under the
| impression that the supporters OF the
Democratic ticket do not or cannot read.
How far that may be true the leaders OF
that party ought to know, but when they
condemn the Republican tariff act of 1890
because it restricted trade and deprived
the producers of the great American sta
pies OF access 10 their natural markets,
they rely rather too much on the crednlity
OF their following. Let US see how the
| Mckinley act ruined the country.
The returns of the bank clearing houses
in the United States in the year 1892
| amounted to $50 662, 400 202. In 1895 the
| returns show the clearings to have been
$29, S41, 795, 1922. This indicates a shrink
age in domestic business of $3.50, 673, $50
for 1895 under the operation of the Demo
cratic tariff as compared with the volume
of trade in 1892 under the Mckinley tariff.
| These figures represent the transactions OF
banks, and then only those situated in
cities large enough to maintain clearing
house, and it is estimated that bank clear
ings represent not more than so per cent
of the total domestic business of the
country
In 1892, when our tobacco growers were
protected, there were imported 3,073, 175
pounds of leaf and wrapper tobacco. In
1895, after the tariff had been greatly re-
duced, the cheap.labor tobacco growers of
ether countries shipped to this country
$3.50, 252 pounds, thus forcing an increase
in imports and a corresponding hurtful
competition, which is represented in the
difference between the above totals, which
was 2,6O7, OF pounds.
Our wheat exports in 1895 amounted to
$40, s98, SAT under the Wilson-Gorman act,
and to Sl61 1893, 132 under the Mckinley
law in 1892. In trying TO capture the mar
kets of the world, the Democratic tariff
cost our farmers $3.50, 500, 5s5 in 1895, as
compared with what they received in
1892.
The Democratic tariff reduced the i'm
port tax on rice, which increased imports
from 1882, 464 pounds in 1892, to 136, 106.-
800 pounds in 1895, thus throwing 5s,4s4,
345 pounds upon our markets in direct and
hurtful competition with American rice
growers.
The commodity item of potatoes makes
an important showing. On January 1,
1892, under protection, one barrel of
potatoes would buy twenty-eight pounds
of sugar. On January 1, 1896, one barrel
of potatoes would buy fourteen pounds of
sugar.
In view of these facts, and the same may
be said of the entire list of merchantable
commodities, the chances are that the
more the people think what the Chicago
platform proposes to do for them the more
convinced they will be that the tariff act
OF 1880 is about the thing they want.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-07-11

perity so superabundant that the people
would cry for q streak OF hard times just
to break the horrible monotony of raking
in profits.
On the tariff question Mr.. Bryan is for
free trade, pure and simple. He is very
pronounced in the belief that the Govern
ment should be maintained from income
taxes, and to that end he is in favor OF re-
vamping the Supreme Court of the United
States SO that it will reverse the present
courts decision, which was that an income
tax law would be unconstitutional. These
are only few of the more leading 'quali-
fications" of William Jennings Bryan for
the Office OF President of the United States.
And the once great democratic party has
come to thisl

NEW YORK "sUN" FOR M'KINLEY.

The New York Sun, altogether the ablest
and most influential of the Democratic
newspapers of the country, did not wait
until the nominations had been made, but
upon the adoption of the platform an
nounced its reputation OF the Chicago
convention, its methods, its men and its
measures. The Sun will support William
Mckinley, not that it accepts the st. Louis
platform as wholly rejecting the prin.
ciples OF government as advocated by that
| journal, but because the time has come
when it behooves the patriots of the COM
monweaith to lay aside party differences
and go forward as one man to defend the
Nation against the assaults OF men gone
wild ia their chase after economic yaparies
| and who boast of their purpose to over.
throw and oyerturn the basic principles of
the Republic.
Charles A. Dana does not turn the bat
teries OF his great newspaper uron his
own political dwelling-place with pride or
exultation. No doubt it is done at the ex-
pense of more than one heart string. No
one could be more sincere in devotion to
party principles nor could one do more TO
promote his party's welfare than Editor
Dana has done in the years of its struggles
for supremacy; but when the alternative
was thrust upon him to leave his political
home or join with its worst element in
conspiracies against the life of the Nation.
it did not take Charles A. Dana long to
decide. Those who know how the New
York Sun has labored in the past to hold
the Democratic party to the broad, COM
prehensive and patriotic principles of
Thomas Jefferson will know that the Chi.
cago convention must have abandoned all
the traditions and all for which the party
has stood three-quarters of a century,
which it did.
1t needs no prophet to foretell what tho
Suns reputation of the Chicago conyen.
ton will lead other Democratic news
papers to do. 1t may safely be said that
before the month is out there will be
found very few of the old newspaper
wheel horses OF the party pulling the
Chicago load. A newspaper is strictly a
business enterprise, and it could no more
afford to advocate the employment of rash
and threatening methods in the conduct
OF its affairs than q farmer, a manufac-
turer, merchant or banker could in his
Nearly every one of the leading Demo-
cratic newspapers of the country has been
urging and entreating the rank and file to
turn deaf ear to the insidious whisper of
the Tillmans and the Altgelds of the party,
but the power of these political serpents to
charm and destroy was greater, it ap-
pears, than the power of words of wisdom
to inform and save, and the once proud
and defiant rank and file-the majority
OF the old Democratic party are now in
the coil of the snakes of their political har-
vest field.
