Totals. ,227,o5o 1854. 98l


With regard to the aggregate amount of
the mortgages and releases, Mr. Magee
says:
On the face the number and value of the City
real estate mortgages given last year were
larger than the number in value OF the sales
There were 1913 sales OF the total value of 81 D.
94|,3ol, while there were 4747 mortgages of
the aggregate value OF $I7 So, 207; but then
there were 277S releases of City real estate
mortgages recorded OF the value OF 81 ia .}j}.
The mortgages exceeded the releases, therefore,
only 1863 IN number and 81 All, 654 in value
Nearly $6000,O00 was expended in build
ings the past season, 81 900, 900 more than
the previous year, but not in advance of
needs.
Fiftv-five miles of single track of street
railroads, principally electric, were laid by
the Market-street Railway Company dur
ing 1895, and hive miles of single track bv
Adolph Sutro, and not for the purpose of
booming inaccessible real estate, but TO
earn dividends. There has been in the
history of the City more or less specula-
ton in suburban real estate, but the money
which went in it was the Idle surplus of
tie individual, not active capital with
drawn from trade or Industrial enterprises.
The conservatism which has always pre-
vailed in San Francisco has saved the City
from that overstimulatiOn which, when
1t dies down, leaves the man weak and ex-
hausted, unable to exert himself further
than to receive nourIshing care until his
natural strength returns
From the time that San Francisco laid
off swaddling clothes up to the present
the people have depended on themselves
and on the development of the country
around them to do that which was neces-
sary 10 build up a great city with one
exception, and that was the railroad.
Criticism has been made that San Fran
cisco does not move fast enough and the
belief is prevalent that she has always
kept step IN advance of the DEVELOPMENT
of the country. This condition of affairs
will be completely changed when North
ern and Central California secure the rail
roads that the resources and capacities
Justify, the first and most difficult step
toward which is the construction of the
San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley
Railroad, and which will doubtless change
San Francisco's railroad communications
with the East. 1t is a safe prediction that
before many years the country surround
ing this City will be gridironed with rail-
roads and crowded with more happy and
prosperous population.
With cheap transportation wheat-grow-
ing upon large scale will be abandoned,
the present immense ranches cut up into
small farms and the requisite capital be
invested in irrigation works. In proper
ton as the great San Joaquin and Sacra-
mento valleys are filed with prosperous
tillers of the soil will the enterprises and
boundaries of San Francisco expand. The

Sales.

In canvassing the summaries of the
various lines of business in San Francisco
for 1895 one realizes that the City has ere
ated basis of permanent prosperity by
keeping her money in trade and persist
emily staying away from blooms" True,
there have been periods OF excitement as
well as seasons of depression, which took a
number of people off their feet and dropped
them into bankruptcy, but San Franciscans
have generally held fast to legitimate bust
ness and permanent investments.
Something over three years ago money
began to be locked up at the East and
ceased to flow to the Pacific Coast, throw
ing this part of the country on its own re-
sources And while "boom" towns Ian
guished the effect on San Francisco was
comparatively little felt IN the business
community because of the conservative
and wise business policy of the bankers
and merchants; because also of the larger
amount of home capital engaged in pro-
ducing cereals, fruits, wine and other food
articles for the markets of the world, the
consumption of which cannot be curtailed
during a period OF financial depression
like the supply of manufactured goods,
and because SaE Francisco's prosperity de-
ponds on vast weelth-producing territory
which it supplies with nearly all the arti-
Giles of trade.
The recovery is well illustrated by the
decrease shown in the number of business
failures IN California by BradSfrpet'S.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-01-06

Every large jobhing and retail firm in
San Francisco discounts its bills and has
been doing so for years, hence the mer-
chants of this City enjoy a credit among
Eastern manufa cturers and importers as
high as it is possible to attain. As q rule
the banks are called on by the mercantile
community during the seasons of buying
for accommodation in order that cash may
be paid for all purchases, and there mas
never been a time when the banks we're
not willing and strong enough to meet
every requirement OF legitimate trade
Further evidence of growth is presented
in the comparative statement of bank
clearings compiled by the Bradstreet Com
pany. Local bank clearings in Decem Der
were $63, 1872, 297, against 500, POI, 775 for De-
cember, 1894. For the year 1895 they were
S692, 079, 24O, against sos, $40, 500 for the
year 1894 This shows a gain for 1895 over
1894 OF Il little under per cent.
Another indication of improvement in
the business outlook, which is usually con-
sidered an lnvariable index, is the revival
of immigration. The total arrivals at New
York IN the year ending June 80, 1895, were
190.928, while those for the six months
ending November Is, 1895, were Ia, 164.
The following summary shows how i'm
migration has been slowly increasing
month nv month.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-01-06

In estimating what the future viii be
ten, or twenty, or thirty years hence, it
may be well to bear this thought in mind
that San Francisco will grow as the coun-
try grows. The tide of immigration, ever
running toward the setting sun, is flowing
strong to the equable climate and the rich
soil of California which has the United
States to draw from.

vest zFTER GROVER.

An animated controversy arose
over the resolution of Senator
Cannon directing Secretary
Smith to execute the law for the
public opening of the Uncompah-
gre Indian reservation, Utah.
Vest followed in criticism of
the Secretary's course.
"There was a time" said Mr..
Vest, "when a cabinet officer
who violated a law would be
brought before the bar of this
senate"
II am sorry to say it," said
Mr.. Vest, "that there seems to
be disposition on the part of
the present administration to
treat the western people as if
they were in the condition of
pupilage; that they did not know
their own rights and their own
interests, and that they must be
informed ex-cathedra from the
east in regard to what is best for
them and what should be done
for them. Even the president OF
the United States lately, on a
missionary occasion, Qaughter)
spoke of the west as the land of
immortality and crime.
HE stood with the CHASTITY
light of the hell-holes of the rum
sellers of New York blazing upon
him, and cantingly said home
missions must be used to civilize
and Christianize the men who
have left their homes in the civ.
ilized east and gone out amongst
the mountains and valleys of the
wild and woody west.
"Our president stood with Rev.
DIR. Talmage on one side ano
Sheldon Jackson on the other,
gave us a new version of that
blessed missionary hymn which
we have heard so often in oul
childhood :
From Montans's sinful mountains;
From Utah's wicked plains;
They call us to deliver
Our land from errors chains"

duced universal discomfort among
the wealth-creators. The people
were assured that the hard times
was occasioned by McKinleyism
or the high tariff. The fact was
pointed out that when Mr.. Cleve-
land left Office after his first ad-
ministration the treasury was
full to overlooking with money,
and that if the Democratic party
had control of the government in
all its branches, good times
would follow. The people heard
the cry of the wolf in sleeps
clothing and granted the petit
ion, giving the Democratic party
majority in all branches, as it
had before given the Republican
party a majority in all branches.
And what has been the result !?
A resort to the extreme war
measure of issuing bonds. in a
time of profound peace, in a ma
ton which is producing more
actual wealth than any other ma
ton on the face of the globe.
The great republic, once the
admiration and wonder of the
world, is becoming every year
more and more a debtor nation,
while the money-lenders of the
Old World and New have sue
ceeded in manipulating both of
the old parties, controlling the
opinion-forming press, and
throwing dust in the eyes of the
people as it relates to their ma
terial prosperity. And now they
are making preparations for a
final triumph; hence, if the re-
public is to be saved, it must be
saved now, and it cannot be saw
ed by the reform forces flocking
in various organizations and di-
viding their strength. They
must unite. They must stand
shoulder to shoulder and capture
the outside breastworks of the
enemy, while during all this
time we must carry on our edu-
cational campaign, making the
people think, making them see,
and leading them up to the posi-
ton where they will be prepar
ed to take the next step, or tC
capture the next redoubt in the
great battle for justice, fraten
ity, purity and progress, which
alone can save the wellnigh lost
republic.

al impression of the Democratic
party that the mugwumps and
incense burners have got all
those honors and intend to keep
them. l have got respect for

sions at home, and abroad, but
Mr.. President, it is a SANDER

er, have gone out and blazed the
pathway Of civilization in those
western wilds. ] am a western

there nearly fifty years, and 1

he will interrupt hunting ducks
in North Carolina and silver
Democrats in Kentucky long
enough to come out we will show
him a Godfearing and respecting
and lawabiding people. Our
church spires may not reach Sc
near to heaven as those of the
east, and our church organs may
not have the grand tones of those
in the east, but our people are
worthy of the respect of any ad-
ministration."

The Salt Lake Tribune is again
making its same old cry, that it
will support only silver men.
Just before every election APP
pears the same old false state
ment, but after the nominations
have been made it never fails to
support the Republican ticket,
it matters not of whom the tick
ct is composed. The Tribune
would support John Sherman
and claim him to be a silver man
were he nominated for president
on the Republican ticket. The
Tribune is the most unreliable
paper in politics known, always
claiming to do great things, but
when the time comes it never
fails to support the goldbugs il
they are Republicans. 1t seeks
to defame such true and stead
fast men as Tillman, Stewart and
others, who have been laboring
for the people for years,
