A BRITISH EXPERIENCE.

The New York Press republishes from
the Bradford (Eng.) Observer the letter of
member OF q British manufacturing
company defending the action of the
directors in paying dividends out of a
reserve fund, which clearly shows and
honestly states the effects produced in
England by the Mckinley tariff and bv
the Wilson tariff.
The point of the letter of interest tn
Americans is found in the following pas.
sage:
You must admit that we have had to face no
ordinary difficulties, such as would have over.
whelmed most concerns. The Mckinley bill
gave the finishing blow to Ssltaire and brought
Manningham TO its knees, and would hav.
utterly ruined the much boasted trade of
Bradford had not the Wilson bill come most on.
portunely to its relief. The Mckinley bill took
half our trade away, SO that we were Obliged
TO reduce wages.
This statement, it will be seen. was in
tended simply to set forth the business
conditions OF the manufacturing company
whose directors had been denounced for
using reserve fund to pay dividends. 1t
was in no sense intended for political
effect. 1t refers to American tariff legis.
latlon only TO show how that legislation
affected the business of that particular
company, and the statements are too i'm.
portant to be overlooked by Americans.
The Mckinley tariff enabled this coun-
try to manufacture its own goods. While
1t was in force there was work for our fac
torres, employment for our people and q
home market for our farmers. English
manufacturing COMPANIES couId not INV
dividends, but every American company
could and did. We would soon have
driven the English out of the American
market. AS the writer of the letter says,
"The Mckinley bill gave the finishing
blow to Saltaire and brought Manning.
ham TO its knees, and would have utterly
ruined the much boasted trade of Brad
ford had not the Wilson bill come most
opportunely 10 its relief"
With this British evidence before Us we
can see how absurd are the charges of the
free-traders that the incoming Congress
The San Francisco call., 1897-02-20
AN ALASKAN REPRESENTATIVE.

The American population in Alaska has
now become so large and has developed
such business interests in that Territory
as to feel the need of better legislation,
and to obtain that they are now seeking
from Congress the right to elect repre-
sentative who will look after their inter-
ests at Washington. In doing this they
are simply following an impulse natural
to Americans, and deserve to be successful
in the task.
All of us would act as the Alaskans are
now doing if we were in the same situa-
ton. Wherever any number of Ameri-
cans are gathered on a soil under the
American flag, it is right and proper that
they should feel themselves entitled to
representation at Washington. Every
American Territory should have that
privilege, and even if there were no spe-
cial reasons for granting the requests of
the Alaskans it should be done on those
general principles which underlie our po-
itical system.
1t IS not, however, solely upon the gen.
eral right of Americans to have a repre-
sentative at Washington that the Alas
kans are basing their requests. They have
reasons peculiar to the condition OF
Alaska which prompt them to the move
ment and add to the justice of their
claims. At the present time the white
population of Alaska numbers about II.
900, and the business interests are by no
means inconsiderable. The government
of the Territory, however, is an anomaly
in American law. There is at present no
such thing as a land law in the Territory,
and those who go there TO make homes
and to erect houses have to content them
selves with such titles as they can get
from squatters' claim.
In various other ways the progress of
the country is hindered by the lack of
favorable legislation. The Territory is re-
mote from the seat of the National Gov
ernment, and is easily overlooked by
Representatives who have no local inter-
ests in it. AS result it is difficult for the
people of Alaska 10 obtain from Congress
anything like the attention which the i'm
portance of the Territory and the welfare
of its white population demand.
The fact that the white population is
much smaller than is required to elect a
Representative to Congress in other parts
of the United States does not constitute
valid oblectlon 10 the claims OF the Aias-
kans. They are situated differently from
the inhabitants of other parts of the
Union. They are remote from the seat of
Government, and have many difficult
problems to contend with in building up
the vast Territory they occupy. 1t would
be in full accord with the general princi-
pies of our Government to give them a
Representative in Congress, and this
should be done at the present session so as
to enable the Alaskan delegate to take his
seat when the next Congress assemblies at
its regular session next fall.
The San Francisco call., 1897-02-20
NEW CONDITIONS.

In the memorial presented by COM
mlttee OF the State Board of Trade to the
Governor the statement is made that
never before the present time in the his
tory Of this State have the inducements to
immigration been so great" The COM
mlttee pointed out that these new condi-
tlons are the outcome of the past few
years OF financial stringency, and it is
always doubly good news to hear of a
good that has been wrought out by what
seemed grieVous evil, since it helps Us to
work on with the renewed energy born of
the belief that by being watchful ap-
parent losses may be made the means of
greater gain.
1t is stated in the memorial that before
the recent hard times the lands of Califor-
ma were held at so exorbitant price as
10 be lar beyond the reach of profitable in
Vestment and this false idea of values
greatly retarded the development of the
state. All this is now changed. LANDS
are no longer held at prices that anticipate
development, and out of this grows the
opportunity OF reaping the reward OF that
enhancement which will necessarily ensue
upon the more dense settlement of tbe
State"
The topping of former air castles of
imaginary wealth will clear the ground
Tor the building of substantial and en-.
during prosperity. The holding of the
LANDS with purpose 10 make fortunes out
OF the expected increase in density of pop
uiatlon was the very thing that defeated
the desire Of the holders. Had the prom
erty been put on the market at prices pro-
portlonate TO the demand the funds from
1t might have been put into something to
promote active industry and turned over
many times with compoundlng profit in.
stead of playing a barring out game of
seeking to gain wealth by shutting others
from opportunities of using natures
bounties.
The new condition enforced by hard
times is an object lesson in the policy of
'llve and let live The multiplied in
dustry resulting from the establishment of
many happy homes on land tn at has been
held out OF use will rebound in tenfold
wealth. 1t would have been so long ago if
the speculative holders had let the WORK
ers have full opportunity of production.
The old conditions may have been good
but the new are better. All hail to them.
