VICTORY FOR THE INDUS
TRIAL BARONS

Less than a fortnight ago it was an
nounced that the new tariff bill would be
framed with reference to raising ample
revenue with incidental protection" but
Mr.. Dingley, who is the leader of the
party in congress. now announces that
the measure will contemplate ample
protection. with incidental revenue. Z"
This is a radical departure from the
declaration of the st. Louis platform and
the adoption of the policy of high pro-
lection, Independent of and without ref
expense account, except in the most in
cidental way. The country was hardly
prepared for such an announcement, and
yet it has been known all the time that
very powerful industrial influence
would be brought to bear to secure high
protection.
The tariff act of 1890, which gave the
industries the highest protection thew
ever enjoyed since the government was
founded. sacrificed the governments
legitimate revenue that the profits of
private enterprise might be swelled but
it was done under the plea that it was
TO better the condition of American
labor, and the people acquiesced. The
same plea is now being made for new
tariff act which shall include every ex-
cessively high protection feature of the
act of 1850, with very much larger LIST
Of industries to participate in the bene-
fits accruing from its operation. That
the act of 1890 was destructive of +he
revenues of the government, no one will
pretend to deny, for the books Of the
treasury show that the deficit during
the less than four years of its life
amounted to fully $S7, ,00O,0 900. But not
withstanding these facts. the purpose

TRY THE OTHER EXTREME

Times want to be good. they are try
ing their level best to be good, and they
would be good if the people would let
them There is plenty of money in the
country for the present, at least There
are plenty of commodities of all kinds
ready to be bought and sold. There are
plenty of people who are anxious to see
business active, and yet the volume of
much contracted.
The fact is, we magnify the import
ance of the peculations Of a Chicago or
Denver banker and get scared.
There has not been a bank or a CONNER
cial failure recently that should disturb
trade movements in the slightest. They
failed either because of dishonest or IN
competent management, and their bank
ruptcy does not in any degree reflect the
tone and condition of the general busi-
ness situation.
The theory of Horace Greedy that the
way to resume specie payment was to
resume specie payment might be adopt
ed by the business world at this time
The way to make business active and
times good is for business men to jump
in and do business. There is altogether
too much waiting for something to turn
up. The way to do it is to turn things
up.
There is no reason at all why the vol
ume of business transactions in Los An
geles should not be largely increased
right away, but it will not increas Sc until
business men quit walking and looking
as if they were living in the shadow
of the day of judgment. What is want
ed is more, Yes, business is good, and
1 am happy" and less business is aw-
full dull and 1 am as blue as indigo"
There is lack of confidence, to be sure,
but there is no occasion for it. Dis
turbed digestion, sour stomach and a
wry face are not conducive to business
activity, but those are the things that
are holding business under the cloud Of
want of confidence" Try the other
extreme awhile

A DANGEROUS NUISANCE.

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles
Herald: The oil wells are becoming a
greater nuisance every day. They have
cut a strip across the best part of the
hills a mile long and 300 to 500 feet wide.
They have ruined all the homes in this
belt and rendered it unfit to live in.
The property on either side is ruined
for residences and no good for oil. The
owners of these wells dig vast slump
or slush holes 90 to go fe ct long, 10 to
Is feet wide and 8 to 10 feet deep.
These are filled with the slush and oil
from the drilling. They are left open
not even fence around them to prevent
children from falling into them. They
are dangerous to all children coming
near them The wells are now on two
sides of the Union avenue school.
These holes are open and filed with de-
bris and oil. The dirt taken from the
holes is piled loosely around the top.
If child should slip on the dirt and
fall into one of these holes, nothing
could save 1t. The parents are becom-
ing uneasy lest their children should
fall into one of these dangerous holes.
1t is high time the authorities were en-
forcing the law Gf there is any, and
compelling these holes to be covered or
fenced. If there is no law, then the
council should make one. A great part
of the time they can't open the school
windows on account of the filthy
smoke. And, Furthermore, IL the wells
are not stopped where they are. all

A PoLICEMAN's BRAVE ACT

Policeman William Schreiver heroic
ally saved a newsboy from being run
over by Broadway cable car recently.
The policeman, though saving the boy
from injury, was knocked down himself
and somewhat bruised.
The boy whom he rescued was Harry
Fox, 10 years old He started to run in
front of cable car that was going up
town. He would have been knocked
down by downtown car had not Po-
liceman Schreiver seized him and hug
ged him to his breast. The policeman
stood holding the lad between the two
cars. The two occupied too much room
and the rear handle of the uptown car
knocked the policeman down. He fell
on his back, but though rendered sense
less, still held the newsboy in his clasp,
and thus saved him from being hurt.
The policeman was picked up and it
was half an hour before he recovered
from the shock. There was then large
swelling on the back of his head and his
left shoulder was painfully Wrenched

of the incoming administration, II Mr..
Dingley correctly voices 1t, is to enact
a tariff law that will make revenue even
more "incidentar than did the act Of
1880.
The cause of this sudden change Of
policy is not difficult to locate. Immedi-
ately after the meeting of the present
congress last month, a ub-committee
was appointed to draft a new tariff bill
for the extra session of the Fifty-fifth
congress to act upon. This committee
invited the various industries of the
country to send representatives before
it to explain what their needs are in
the way Of prote Ation against outside
competition. The invitation was cheer
fully accepted and for a week or more
Washington has been crowded with the
owners and attorneys of every known
industry, and their testimony and argu-
ments before the subcommittee have
been decidedly for high protection as
the first and revenue for the government
as the second consideration. The COM
mittee is living upon nothing else. The
people-the great middle class. or more
properly speaking the consumers of the
products Of the industries. were not in
vited to testify before the committee,
hence only the side of the industrial
ho, ie hao rJ nd
hence, too. the complete change of front
Of the incoming administration from the
policy of tariff for revenue, with in
cidental protection to the policy of
tariff for high protection with incidental
revenue.
A Chicago newspaper, which has
volunteered to champion the cause of
the high protectionists. says that "a
tariff law framed upon this basis (high
protection with incidental revenue) will
not be prohibitory. 1t will not keep for
eign manufacturers out of our market
but will let them in on fair and equit-
able footing, compelling them to add to
the selling price of their articles enough
to make up the extra price which our
manufacturers must pay to their skilled
labor"
If to add to the selling price"
does not mean that consumers will be
obliged to pay more for their supplies
than they would under tariff for reve-
nue., favor would be conferred upon the
great middle class. the common people,
by telling them what it does mean. The
assertion that high protection is re-
quired to protect the wages Of American
skilled or any other kind of labor, is
made in the face of the well-known
fact that during the operation of the act
of 1890, wage reductions were more fire. |

erous, and labor had fewer days of en- |
ployment in a month than during any |
other like period in the history of the |

edicts. The last decade has witnessed
marked advances In the way Of popular
recognition Of the right of the state and
the municipality to restrain the public,
by force If necessary. from committing
acts that are prejudicial to the public
health. The time has come when, as
a result of persistent and systematic
education along these lines. popular
sentiment will brand as murderer a
man who from ignorance or willful neg
lect, exposes his neighbors or whole
community to contagious disease.
We have not yet arrived at that point
where the man who expectorates in pub
lie is regarded as criminal but in view
of the progress already made in the en-
forcement of stringent health measures
1t is safe to say that the time is not far
distant when the man who covers the
floor of street car or public waiting
room or even the sidewalk with sputa
will be subject to arrest and heavy fine.
1t is reported that the health depart
ment of Chicago will soon issue formal
notices to the public prohibiting ex-
pectoration, in street cars, suburban
trains, elevated cars. public convey
ances, sidewalks. depots, hotels. thea
ters, and other places where people
congregate. 1t has been ascertained by
the health authorities that such a regu-
lation can be enforced under section
Of the municipal code which applies to
Indecent, lewd or filthy acts"
The expectoration habit is probably
the filthiest and most disgusting of all
American habits. The proclivity to be-
foul everything with sputa is the cause
of great astonishment to most European
visitors. 1t has been learned by scien-
tific investigation that many diseases
are spread by this habit. Disease germs
lodge on particles Of dust and are car
ried through the air and breathed into
healthy lungs. If the order is promul-
gated there is no reason why it should
not be rigidly enforced.
