INDICTED

Secretary John Sherman has been
talking out of school again and showing
up the unwisdom and the cunning
schemes of the party he helps to repre-
sent. Mr.. Sherman declares that the
present trust law is inadequate. He
framed it himself, but his wicked Repub-
lican partners in, the judiciary commit
tee emasculated 1t so that it is practically
useless.
The secretary did not say anything
about the refusal of the Republican
majority in congress to accept an anti
trust amendment to the pending tariff
BILL but that moropoly's dictated ac-
ton speaks for itself. 1t convicts the
Republican party of being in hearty
sympathy with the odious practices so
strongly condemned by Secretary Sher-
man.
That a bad state of affairs exists is
freely admitted by the secretary. TT is
unfair competition and unfair com bina-
tion," he says, that have aroused this
cry against the trusts"
The Republican apologists will be be-
tween the devil and the deep sea in at
tempting to explain away the secretary's
charges. If they declare that he is not
responsible for what he says, the cruelty

Mr.. Bakers ideas in severalty are not

sembling of them in comprehensive

If carried out on large scale, and to
considerable depth, would be expensive,

results might fully justify the outlay.
Underground storage, if it could be ac-

THE Tagging PROSPERITY

The professional apologists for the
Republican party, who are really being
overworked nowadays, having been
forced to postpone further performance
of the prosperity humbug, have taken a
new tack. They are doing the baby
act" in common parlance, by accusing
the Democrats of using the hard times
cry for political purposes, simply because
the latter have pointed out that Repub-
lican administration has not brought the
prosperity promised, thereby misrepre-
senting the alleged facts.
Let us see which is right. Bradstreet's
is one of the leading commercial author
tiles of the country. 1t presents the
facts and figures as it finds them, with
out reference to political bias. It favors
neither the one side nor the other. This
is what Bradstreet's had to say last Sat-
urday:
The persistent Misrepresentation Of
the actual state of trade throughout
the country during the past month in
an apparent endeavor to make the pro-
spective improvement in business ap-
pear to be its present condition, de-
mands an examination as to the facts.
and Bradstreet's presents condensed
results of interviews with representa-
tive manufacturers and merchants at
more than fifty important commercial
and industrial centers east of the Rocky
mountains. The demand, except in a
few lines, is less pronounced than it
was two months ago. There is no ma
terial increase in the volume distrib-
uted compared with a year ago. and
prices for many staples are lower, but
there has been an improvement COM
pared with the situation prior to the
presidential election of last year and
as contrasted with last January Many
of the larger merchants and manufac-
turers characterize the business record
for the first half of 1897 as a disappoint-
ment in contrast with anticipations in
December, 1896. On the other hand
confidence is widespread in a revival
of demand this fall.
This unbiased report confirms all
that has been offered as a statement of
fact by the anti-administrati ton news
papers. Opinion may we'll differ as to
the future, because the confidence"
manifested last fall has been cruelty
disappointed. 1t is likely to be disap-
pointed again, because the party in
power has wrongly diagnosed the coun-
try's case and is administering the
wrong remedies.
1t is not to be expected that the coun-
try will remain in the lowest DEPTHS of
the business depression that followed
the disastrous panic of 1898. Some re-
covery is inevitable in a country of such
infinite and varied resources as ours.
1t is an undisputable fact that the Re-
publicans, and not the Democrats, are
guilty of Misrepresentation and fraud.

been about % the other way. But 1t is
in the line Of what we know of this over
current from other sources, and there Is
ample reason to believe that whatever
it may have been we have no such cold
currente overhead as they have on the
other side of the mountains.
This is a very strange phenomenon.
How could it have had this temperature,
at 9 o'clock in the morning especially?
The air is warmed but little by the pas
sage of suns rays through it. That does
not happen until they strike the earth
and warm the air next to it. This at
once rises to give place to another layer,
which in turn gives place to another.
No such effect is felt on the top OF high
sharp peak lifted into space. The sun
rays are warm there when they strike
the skin, but the air through which they
have passed is about as cold as ever.
The warming up from the sun is found
to any extent only near the ground and
on broad stretches
Yet this explains the absence Of the
cyclone, for it must have a cold layer
above to produce it. 1t explains also
the absence Of summer rains over the
greater part Of the coast. Their abb
sence is not from want of moisture, for
there is enough of that coming In every
day on the wings Of the sea breeze. We
never need trouble ourselves about where
the moisture Is to come from to produce
rain. There is enough of that In almost
every section. The great trouble Is to
condense It. There is enough IN the fos
bank that sometimes rolls in at night
to wash the whole country into the sea
in a few years. But 1t will not condense
and probably all the dynamite in the
world would not shake drop out OF It.
There is no cold air above to do 1t. 1t
is not uncommon for the clouds from
the Arizona rain belt to be driven over
us in summer, but 1t is very seldom that
we get more than a few drops out OF
them, though in Arizona 1t may rain
every day.
Every form Of tornado Is probably a
cyclone, differing a little perhaps IN
form. but caused in the same way. The
entire absence Of all sudden and violent
winds in California is probably due to
the absence of this cause. Our strong
winds are invariably suction winds
down some canyon, as where the sea
breeze reaches over the range down
the desert slopes and becme very strong
in some Of the passes, or they come from
a desert wind blowing over the range
which is generally stronger on the over
side than on the side from which 1t rises
None of them are ever sudden, especially
the sea breeze, which is one Of the most
deliberate movements in the world
And even the desert wind, which some
times becomes uncomfortably strong in
some of it's courses, takes plenty Of time
in settling down to work. Even It's
strongest power bears no resemblance
to anything that elsewhere would be
called dangerous wind.
It's VAN DYKE.

A BOUNTY FOR FARMERS

Mr.. David Lubin of Sacramento, in an
able article in the Outlook of June 10,
1897, advocates a bounty on all farm
products exported as the only means
by which the farmer can be benefited
by a protective tariff. He cites three
answers that are generally given by
different persons as to why agriculture
in the United States has declined:
1. By demonetization of silver.
.. Lowering the protective tariff.
8. Inequality in the ratio of values,
caused by the protective tariff.
The first and second he dismisses with
a word, and lays the whole blame on
the third.
Let us look into the question further.
The second would undoubtedly benefit
the farmer, as prices of manufactured
goods would go down under lower tar
if and the farmer would get his goods
cheaper. Everyone knows that, and
there is no ground for discussion.
The third is one great grievance the
American farmer has against the pro-
tective tariff. 1t makes him pay tax
on everything he buys; makes him buy
in a market where there is no compe
tition. But he sells in the competitive
markets of the world, where he must
meet the competition of the silver coun-
tries and all the cheap labor countries
This Mr.. Lubn contends is the great
grievance, and can only be remedied
by bounty.
Mr.. Lubin dismisses the remonetiza
ton of silver with a word, and says it
can have no bearing on the case at ALL
According to the opinionof great many
of the leading statesmen of the world
it has. The British monetary commits
sion, who made their report in 1883, said
that the decentralization of silver was
the principal cause of the decline in the
rrice of cereals. No man of any sense
dares dispute the fact that all the pri-
mary money in the world is worth all
the property in the world. In other

SPRING STREET REsURFACING

At the meeting of the city council yes
terday the recommendation of the board
of public works that the ordinance of in
tention for the resurfacing of Spring
street from Temple to Ninth be placed
upon its passage was referred back to
the board for further consideration.
Hon. Abbot Kinney, on behalf of the
property owners, addressed the council
at some length. Mr.. Kinney, after ex-
planning that the property owners die
ments pointed out that they had paid
for the work once, and should not be
compelled to again pay for work made
necessary by the negligence Of the city
officials. whose attention had been fire.
quently called to the condition of the
street, and the necessity for repairs
But this was not the principal objection.
1t was pointed out that, owing to the
rapid increase Of building on the street
the sewer was Wholly inadequate, and
further, that the water mains were not
near large enough. Besides, all over
head wires have been ordered under
ground in the near future and conduits
will have to be provided for them.
Again, it was pointed out that resurfac-
ing the street with two inches of asphalt
in place of from half to an inch and a
half, as it now stands. would raise the
grade to that extent and increase the
nuisance from storm water.
Under all these circumstances, the
council did right in granting the reason
able request of the people who will have
to pay the bills that the matter be re-
ferred back for further consideration.
There is no disposition on the part Of
any one to retard improvements. 1t is
generally conceded that both Spring and
Main streets should be put in the best
possible condition. But there is no sense
or reason in throwing good money after
bad. Let the work, when it is done, be of
the best possible quality, and of per-
manent character. Have proper sewers
and water mains put in, then construct
the necessary conduits for all overhead
wires, and when these permanent i'm
provements shall have been made, put
down a pavement of the best possible
construction, when the work will prac-
tically last for all time. There will then
be no necessity for tearing up the pave
ment, and the property owners will
cheerfully pay their assessments when
they know that they are getting the
worth of their money.

words, if the world wsrs. forced to sell
out today. its property would be worth
! only the gold and silver Of the world.
Now, demonetize silver and what do we
have? A decline in the price Of all COM
modities or rise in the price Of the
money retained. Remonetize silver. and
commodities rise in price and gold comes
down. Would not the added money in
the world bring UP the price Of farm
ri oducts? What would a bounty do but
tax the people and make them feel the
burdens of government as the farmers
have felt them since 1878? Did not the
Republican party say that the remon-
|etization of silver would bring back bet
ter times and restore prosperity? They
only wait for the European powers to
lend hand.
Where has the competition which has
affected the American farmer come
from? India, Argentine, Mexico.
Japan, Russia and the South
American states. All silver coun-
tries. They pay their help in silver
and sell their produce for gold. and
make the difference. Does not silver
have the one thing necessary to make
prosperity-namely, value as a money
metal? fs ~"
Mr.. Lubin says we sell our farm ma
chinery to all these silver countries, and
therefore we must have a bounty in or
der to compete. Would it not be better
to raise their money metal so there
would be no difference in exchange
so there would be no talk Of a f1fty-cent
dollar? ga ST
He says the American farmer must
have bounty equal to the protection
the manufacturer gets, or else free trade.
Why not go one step farther? Have
the free and. unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver, free trade and a direct
tax on all property of per cent large
enough to pay all expenses of the gov
ernment?
That would be eminently fair and just
to all and would make the rich pay
nearer their share than they pay at
present

cial privileges to none.
