COLD FACTS ABOUT THE WAVE
OF PROSPERITY

Great cry and little wool, as the
devil said when he sheared the pig.
is the exact status of the trumpeting
heard about the wave of prosperity.
The great forces of nature, whose Sc
cret workings are scarcely better COM
pretended today than they were two
thousand years ago, have resulted in a
failure of the crops over a large area
of the surface of the earth. In many
countries where population is very dense
the suffering is 80 intense that it would
bring tears from any but heart of
flint. These same uncomprehended
forces of nature have sent us the only
abundant crop of breadstuffs on the
globe. Half the world has to come to
us for bread, and we are able to squeeze
out of these necessitous wretches high
prices for our surplus cereals. 1t is 60
ing to put large amount of money in
the hands of American farmers, and
this will create prosperity in many in
dustries
Now there is the sum total of all there
is to make this great outcry about. The
new tariff law has made many of the
things in daily use among the people to
cost them more than before. Scores of
things in daily use in the most humble
homes will cost 25 to so per cent more.
The causes that have made bread dear
in India and England have added mate
rally to it's cost here.
Among the great army of toilers who
live from their daily earnings. what
wave of prosperity is swashing about
their door steps? The loaf on the break
fast table, the sugar that goes in the
coffee, the salt that sea sons the porridge,
the coat on the toiler's back, and the
cheap gown on his wife, all cost him
more. How many of them are getting
25 to so per cent more wages? How many
of the rich employers whose gains are
enhanced have come forward and vol
unteered an increase in wages? Not one
in thousand. The life and death strug-
gle going on between the poor people
who work in eastern coal mines for 60
cents day is the emphatic answer which
arises from the toiling millions as to
the blessings Of the great wave of pros
perity about which there is SO much
noise

THE PROBLEM OF ANARCHISM

Slow and devious American Just
ice might we'll take a lesson from
the proceedings in the case Of An
giolillo, the slayer of Premier Canovas.
In one week from the time the murder
was committed the murderer had had his
trial and was sentenced to death.
His speedy execution will follow. The
proceedings in the case of Guiteau, who
killed President Garfield, were in wide
contrast
Nor was 1t creditable that the anarch
lists of New York should have been al
lowed to hold a public meeting for the
purpose of celebrating the assa ssina ton
of Canovas and glorifying the detestable
principles that band them together.
There are no more dangerous anarchists
in the country than that unsexed wo-
man, Emma Goldman, and the, foreign
scum, Mowbray.
To take look at the other end of the
line. the Spaniards would do we'll to
transfer some Of their judicial prompt
ness and fairness to Cuba, where a num-
Der of foreign residents. mostly Amer
leans. have been made to languish in
Spanish prisons for months and years
without a trial and without the COM
mon necessaries of life.

HOME PRODUCTS AGAIN

The Merchants and Manufacturers
association evidently means business in
it's consumption of home products cam
paigr. ard the well attended meeting Of
Monday night was calculated to put its
plans in good working order.
The fact that judicious advertising is
necessary in order to put any article Of
sale or consumption properly before the
eyes of the people was generally recog-
nized by the speakers at Monday
nights meeting. Indeed, the fact that
money was appropriated for advertising
purposes before the meeting closed.
leaves Tao doubt as to the position of the
association upon that point But, as
the association is made up of success
full advertisers in large proportion, it
is by no means remarkable that thu
wise and sensible position should be
taken.
The Herald is fully aware that 1t il
in the position of an interested party in
| discussing the question of advertising
but it feels that it is in position to offer
honest expert testimony with regard to
the matter. The proposition is that
other things being equal, quality and
price being considered, the people OF
Los Angeles and Southern California
shall give the preference to home prod
ucts. Very good. Theoretically there
should be no difficulty about that.
A resolution was passed to the effect
that the members should request their
wives to buy only home products when
purchasing supplies. There was another
good point. II recognized the fact that
the women are the buyers. But the
women are also the ones who read the
advertisements. They have made ad-
vertising pay. They know that they can
depend upon the statements made in the
advertisements of any reputable firm.
Therefore they buy the advertised ar.i-
cles. Given, then, home product that
il not advertised and an outside product
that is advertised, "other things being
equal" ard which will they buy? The
advertised article almost without excep-
ton They know just what they are
buying The term, "other things being
equal" cannot be properly used until
the article of home manufacture and the
article of foreign manufacture are
equally familiar in the experience of the
housewife.
But. given the same articles of home

more illustrative of the prevailing moral
tone of the force, for the reason that a
superior officer was directly implicated
in the offense of his subordinate.
Despite Capt. Roberts statement as to
the ''quandary" and the dilemma" III
which he found himself in the case COM
planned of, Commissioner Gibbons de-
nunciation of his conduct does rot seem
to have been unduly severe. A police
officer clearly imposed upon the credul-
ity and anxiety of a citizen who was
temporarily in tight place, and the
captain, who was present, by his silent
crimin.s.
Such circumstances seem to indicate
that loose and Illegal methods may not
have been altogether uncommon in the
corridors of the police station.
Many police officers here and else
where seem constantly to forget That
they are the servants of the public and
not its masters What are policemen
paid for if not to protect the rights of
citizens? That fee should, be extorted
to prevent a citizen from being wrong

tized by Mr.. Gibbon as most outra-
geous proceeding"
If superior officers wink or remain
negative at such proceedings, the de-

sure, and he will probably be more in
sistent in the future as to what he must
know to be right. and would better dis
card the words "quand,ary" and "dilem-
ma" from his vocabulary.

THE MORALE OF THE POLICE
FORCE

The police commission, by its sum-
mary dismissal of couple of officers
in about as many weeks, has read both
the police force and the public whole
some lesson. 1t must now be perfectly
evident that there are fearless and con-
eistent citizens on the board who will
neither tolerate any suspicion of crook
edrsess rsor be browbeaten by threats.
There is every indication that the COM
missioners will not desist in their good
work until the force is completely purged
of all rottennese.
That such Incidents as were revealed
by the methods of Officers Long and
Shie,ds-although the offenses were BY
no means comparable--were at all pos
sip1e IS sufficient proof that the morale
Of the police force has not been what II
should be. The offense of the latter Of

He looked up high and he looked down low

The man went west with a merry heart,
Oh, way off west went he,
And he found all the men

A SIGNIFICANT STRAW

II may be only straw, but it indicate
that the wind is blowing towards San
Pedro after all, The Southern Pacific
Railway company is repairing and
strengthening its line between San Pc
dro and Point Firmin. The obvious de-
duction is that Mr.. Huntington realizes
that this long neglected track may be
called upon for heavy work in the near
future. If that breakwater Is to be built,
why. Mr.. Huntington has convenient
store quarries and would not be averse
to the contract for hauling. Who knows
but that as soon as Uncle Coils has his
line ready to transport the rocks General
Alger may be induced to advertise for
bids?
1t will be most gratifying though
tardy conclusion that the will of the peo-
pie is still stronger than the desire of a
corporation
The herald., 1897-08-19
THE COAL MINERS STRIKE

The injunction granted against the
nent yesterday. This will have ten
dency to bring matters to a crisis. 1t
is to be hoped that it will not result in
disturbance or bloodshed. Strikes can
not be won by violence. The injunction,
however, should not be so construed as
to deprive the strikers of the reasonable
rights of American citizens. The men
have violated no law in striking.
Very little progress has been made to-
ward ending the strike by arrangement
or compromise reasonably satisfactory
to both sides. 1t seems to have settled
down to a quest ton of endurance. The
condition of the miners was bad enough
before. What it will be if the strike is
lost, heaven only knows.
1t does not appear to The Herald that
a case has been made out in behalf of the
coal operators, who constitute what is
practically monopoly, and who have for
many years dictated both the price of
coal to the consumer and the wages paid
to the miners. Surely these operators
have not under such circumstances
named prices that would drive them
selves into bankruptcy.
The new tariff law increases the duty
on bituminous coal from 40 to 81 cents
ton, an advance of 81 cents, which will,
of course, go into the pockets of the op-
orators. We are told that an increase
in the tariff means an increase in wages.
Now, the striking miners of Pennsylva-
nia have asked for an increase that
amounts to about cents a ton-one-
third of the increase in the tariff on coal
1t does not seem to be an unreasonable
division; but the operators, so far from
granting one-third of their rake-off, will
grant nothing.
The American people like to see a fair
deal, especially when it is a case where
they are taxed for the benefit of mon
opoly, and where it has been shown be-
yond contravention that the men who
are on strike have not been able to earn
enough to support themselves and their
families in the barest decency and with
the commonest necessaries of life as
they are reckoned in civilized country

THE SILVER REPUBLICANS WILL
ORGANIZE

Nathan Cole. jr., provisional national
committeeman of the Silver Republican
party, publishes elsewhere in The Her.
aid today call for the provisional COM
mittee of the state to meet and perfect it's
organization in this city on September
9th.
Committeeman have been named in
whole or in part from thirty-one coun-
ties. Each county in the state in which
appointments have not been made or
where less than five have been named,
will be entitled to five m emil bers to be
selected al large by the Silver Republic
ans of the county.
Notwithstanding the assertions ma lie
by the Republican papers that the silver
cause is dead, the fact remains that
there is more vitality in the movement
today than ever before. Men who in the
last campaigns split off from the old par
ty affiliations ard fought their former
associates did so from a sense of deep
conscientious conviction-not because
they were after the loaves and
fishes or because they had any
grudge to satisfy. When men are
thus animated they make faith
full and persisten campaigners They
never know when they are whipped and
they never surrender. Only one of two
things can stay their efforts: Either they
must be convinced that they are wrong
or they must be killed outright
The Silver Republicans have not been
killed-that is certain-and they have
not been convinced OF error So they
propose to move right along. They
showed in the last campaign that they
were good organizers on short notice
and with very meager financial re-
sources. Now that they go deliberately
at the work of organiza ton three years
ahead of the next campaign, we may
look for some magnificent work.
The forthcoming meeting of the pro.
visional committee will no doubt be well
attended, and it will enlist vast inter.
est in political circles. It will, in fact
take hard in making history.

What a Steamship VIII Hold

Few persons looking at an ordinary
ocean steamship. loaded or unloaded,
as it lies in a dock, have any concep-
ion of its enormous carrying capacity.
The boat looks big, Of course, but gives no
idea of of the tremendous amount Of
freight that can be slowed away in its
capacious hold without overloading it..
The B. & o. railroad loaded a steam
ship the Other day and this is what it took
to fill her: Sxty-slx cars Of lumber,
four Of starch, nineteen of oil cake, six
Of provisions, one of grain, one of -four.
twenty-five Of tobacco two of wire, three
Of sugar, thirteen Of fresh meat, twenty
Of sheep or 1899 head; forty-five'o of cat
tie, or 1888 head; three of lard, one'of cop
per, four Of merchandise and 161 of grain,
making a total of 371 car loads. This is
equal'to ten long freight trains, which If
placed in row, would cover distance
Of about two miles. And all their freight
went into one tramp steamship.-Phlla-
delphia Record.

Canned Goods on the Decline

There is coming day when the canned
fruit industry will cease to be an enormous
money-making enterprise and few who
are now beginning to see the future of a
business dealing in dried fruits will be
multimillionaires. And the best of 1t
will be that the profit of 1t will not be
wholly to the dealers. Dried fruit sells
at about half the price that canned fruit
commands, and it will go five times farther
When such reason will not appeal to a
housekeeper. the fact that 1t is superior
to canned goods on account of the modern
processes will make some impression. In
California they have learned to prepare
prunes so well that large quantities are
shipped to France, the home of the prune,
while California raisins have practically
driven foreign raisins out of the market,
and thousands of pounds of aprcots and
pears go to Europe.-Boston Traveller.

Mr.. HUNTINGTON Not in It

To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: In your issue of the 18th inst.
appeared an article relative to the sale
of lots by the Los Angles Terminal Land
company at East San Pedro, in which
it is stated that all unsold lots had been
withdrawn from sale by the land COM
pany. supposedly for the reason that
lots had been purchased by parties in
the interest of Mr.. Huntington.
Kindly permit me to explain that the
statement as to lots having been with
drawn was erroneous. In the early part
of this year the land company prepared
the lots in five blocks of its beach front
property for sale by piping water to them
and sidewalking the blocks. intending
to offer its remaining lots there for sale
as soon as 1t had prepared them in the
same way that 1t had those upon the
first five blocks. but anticipating that
those already prepared would be suffi-
cient for the market for the current year.
Very much to the surprise of all con-
cerned, the property sold so rapidly that
all Of the beach front lots in the first
five blocks have been exhausted, and
persons applying to purchase front lots
have been informed that no front lots
were now on sale. This was not for the
reason that any property had been
withdrawn from sale, but merely because
the lots in the other blocks had not yet
been prepared for sale by having water
piped to them and sidewalks built in
front of them. When this is done, these
lots will be put upon the market. In the
meanwhile there are yet upon the mar
ket number of unsold lots in the back
part Of the blocks which have already
been improved with water and sidewalks.
That the assumption thet agents of
Mr.. Huntington had been buying in this
property is without foundation is pro we'd
by the facts that they do not front upon
and are not near the waters Of the bay,
and are therefore Of no value as COM
mercial property, and further that no
more than two lots have been sold to
any one person. and all the purchasers
are we'll known citizens Of Los Angeles,
one-half of whom have built and the
remainder of whom shortly expect to
build permanent homes upon the lots
SO purchased T. E. GIBBON.

Will Cause Embarrassment

A Los Angeles Judge has decided that
marriages at sea are illegal, and the de-
cision is said to effect all such ceremo-
MES performed since 1895. This Is liza
BILE to cause embarrassment to some of
the couples who have sought to add
spice of romance to their weddings
especially If any of the individuals con-
cerned have changed their minds In
the meantime, and should now refuse
to go through the formalities prescribed
by 1aw-San Francisco Post.
