Why the Grange wants High Tariff.
SMedesboro. N. j. 2.2O. 1897.


Mr.. James d. Carpenter,
DEAR SIR I'm your paper of Feb. Is,
you criticize the Grange of this county for
petitioning our Congressman for increased
duties on agricultural products, and say OF
the Grange, It surpasses all understand
ing that the humbug Of the thing isn't ap-
parent to them" I would say in reply
that the position that the Grange takes on
this question is purely business one, and
upon which every farmer can agree, that is,
=" Protection for all, or Protection for none.'
Whenever there is to be revision of the
tariff in the interest of higher duties. the
Grange will demand that agricultural pro-
ducts receive as much protection as any
other industry. Whenever there is to be a
revision of the tariff in the interest of lower
rates of duty, the Grange will demand
that all industries be reduced to the rates
proposed for agricultural products.
Nearly one-half of the imports are agri-
cultural products the larger part of which
could and would be produced in THU
country if they had the amount of protec.
tion that is granted some manufacturers.
The humbug part is when politicians tel
farmers that they will put tariff or
manufacturers to help the farmer. We
insist that the tariff must be put on the
thing we aim to protect.
A tariff on manufactures help the farmer
just as much as a tariff on farm products
help the manufact, rer,and no more.
Yours truly,
THEO BROWN.

The Rains Interfered With
the Plans at the Pre-
sidio Post.
Ii Nothing Prevents the Sham
Fight Will Take Place
This Forenoon.
The Post Field Day Events Will
Take Place Tomorrow New
Features to B., Presented.

Had it not rained on Sunday night the
sham battle ON Golf Hill at the Presidio
would have taken place yesterday morn
ing as announced, but as the heavy rain
had produced an immense amount of
moisture, which had not sufficiently dried
yesterday morning, it was decided to post
pone the event until this morning.
The TACT that the event was postponed
on account of the moisture is no reflection
on the men in the three branches of the
service, for they are ever ready and will
ing to turn oui, ii there is any necessity,
rain or shine, but the officers had consid-
Grafton for them and did not think that
any good would result from having the
men tramp in the mud and slush when
the result to be attained could be obtained
by delay of twenty-four hours.
large number of citizens visited the
Presidio which is the most beautiful post
on the coast, if not of any under the con-
troll of the United States military authori-
ties, in the hope of seeing the contest be-
tween the soldiers, who were TO defend
the Notifications, and the "enemy" that
was to march upon them, but they were
disappointed, still when they were in
formed as to the reason for the postpone
ment, they took their disap pointment
good-naturedly and said "better luck next
time" Those who remained on the
grounds did not have their trip out to the
post Tor nothing. for they had an oppor-
tunity of witnessing the drill by mum Der
of recruits for the cavalry, which was an
exceedingly interesting event. The men
rode horses without saddles. blankets
only being cinched on the animals, and
they went through the movements of dis
mounting and mounting while the horse s
were on trot; they were instructed in
the manner of holding the reins and in
the art of turning in the saddle" and
other movements.
Tomorrow, should the weather be fine,
and the indications are that it will be, the
monthly field day will be held at the Pre-
sidio post, morning and afternoon. This
will be most interesting affair, and while
not on as grand scale as was the tourna-
ment OF last month, ii will be fully as in
teresting, for there will be a number of
military events that have about them a
certain charm for the civilians. The men
who are booked for the several contests
are exceedingly enthusiastic. and it is safe
to say that they will 40 their utmost to
excel previous records.
There are several new features on the
programme. One will be a broad-sword
contest on foot; another will be mounted
wrestling by teams. and stlll another will
be q mounted relay race. The drivers
race, which excited so much interest and
was SO favorably commented upon during
the tournament, will be repeated. The
programme, as a whole, is a particularly
good one, and the men who are to take
part in the contests deserve to be encour-
aged by the presence of large number of
citizens of both sexes.

Two Scientific Parties to
Beard Mighty Mount
Logan.
Its Towering Peaks Reach Be-
yond Those of Mount
st. Elias.
A Region Where No Human Voice
Has Ever Been Heard or Foot.
step Left Trail.

Two fully equipped parties OF scientists,
one from Italy ard one from Philadelphia,
will leave the Morayian Mission for Mount
st. Elias on the 29Ih of May.
The Italian party, which has been cor
responding with DR.. de Vecchi here for
some months, will consist of seventeen,
many of whom are experienced noun
taineers from the Alps. The Philadelphia
party, under Pro. essor Bryant, consists of
but eight men. Professor George David
soa thinks the smaller party has the
advantage, by reason of the smaller food
supplies and trappings required.
Thinking that Inc Italian party might
come 10 this City, the Geographical
Society of the Pacific passed a resolution
on Saturday offering the party its rooms
and the use of all books. maps and other
data needed; hut news was received by
DR.. de Vecchi hat Professor Fay of Boston
has advised the Italians to go by the
Canadian Pacific, so as to leave for the
mountain the same day the American
party starts May 29 so they will probably
not visit San Francisco at all.
The Italian expedition was arranged IN
March, but the American party has beelI
making preparations for two years. Fro
fessor Ii. G. Bryant is an old mountain
climber and lie heads the party. he mas
fully consulted Professors Russell and
Davidson with reference TO the work.
'The purpose is 10 reach the culminat-
ing peaks of the ST. Elias range" said
Professor Davidson yesterday. Mount
st. Elias is 18,011 feet above the sea, but
Mount Logan. which is twenty-six miles
northeast IS 19, 522 feet and Is the high
mountain i'll North America mile and
a half beyond is Mount McGrath, which
is 49, 275 feet high.
The last camp will be made by the
American party at Agassiz glacier. From
there the party will travel over the ice
afoot to Mount st. Elias and the higher
peaks. beyond latitude 60 and near Iongi-
tude 140. 1t IS the same region visited in
1888 by Lieutenant Schwatka and Seton
Karr for the New York Times. If the
party gets 10 the top of Mount Logan its
mem bers will be able to see nearly 100
miles. Mount st. Elias can be seen 1S5
miles by mariners.
At presen. absolutely nothing is known
OF the geology of the regions these parties
are about to visit. All climes hover along
the cloud-reaching sides OF thesa monster
peaks. more sub ime by far than Mont
Blanc with its Arye and Arveyron raving
ceaselessly at its base. With success the
contributions made to science by this
party ought to be of great value.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

In his message on Cuban affairs the
President asks simply for a grant oi
| money from Congress for the relief oi
american citizens resident in the island
who have been made destitute by the war.
Such an appeal should have met with no
opposition whatever, and Notwithstanding
the well-known capacity OF the Democrats
for blundering, the country will note with
surprise that the entire Democratic vote
in the House, led by Bailey of Texas, de-
liberately interposed objections to an i'm
medi ate consideration OF the bill, and thus
postponed action on it until next Thurs
day.
The tone of the President in asking for
this relief is studiously moderate. If he
had been requesting aid for the sufferers
from the Mississippi foods his words
could not have been freer from even a
suggestion of offense to Spain. He begins
by reciting that official information from
our Consuls in Cuba establishes the fact
that q large mum Der OF American citizens
in the island are in state of destitutio n,
suffering from want OF food and medi-
cines. He adds that the agricultural
classes have been forced into the towns,
where they are without work or money.
and goes on to say that the local authori-
ties of the several towns, however kindly
disposed, are unable to relieve the needs
OF their own people, aud are altogether
powerless to b elp our citizens.
This straightforward appeal. so simple
in its terms, met with an immediate re-
sponse from the Senate. Within less than
an hour from the time the message was
read resolution appropriating $4,000
had been drawn up, reported TO the Sem
ate and adopted unanimously. 1t is to
be regretted that an equal promptness was
not shown in the House. Bailey, how
ever saw. or thought he saw, an oppor-
tunity for party advantage and at once
declared he would object to an immediate
consideration of the measure unless it
were amended by including in it the Nor
gan resolution re recognizing the belliger-
ency of the patriots.
By this action of the Democratic leader
and his party followers simple measure
OF relief for our destitute countrymen in
Cuba is bound up with wholly different
question and postponed as indefinitely as
the Democrats can do it. The country
will note the proceeding with something
more than lis usual impatiehce at Demo
cratic bIundering. In this case there will
be Indignation as well as impatience. The
people will gladly hail proclamation
conceding bslligerent rights to the
Cubans, and even more gladly recogni-
tion o: the independence of the island,
but that is no reason why we should leave
our own citizens in the island to suffer
from destitution until such time as it be-
comes advisable to deal with the broader
issue.
The message in itself is most com.
mendable one. President Mckinley has
already shown himself a master of the
high art OF saying much in a few words and
ending when he has said it. His mes.
sages so far have been models of lucidity
and terseness, and the country has begun
to regard him as one of the clearest
thinkers, writers and speakers that ever
sat in the Presidential chair.

A GOOD MOVE.

The real estate men of Santa Clara
County have recently held meeting in
San Jose for the purpose OF forming an
organization to be known as the Santa
Clara County Real Estate Association.
The objects sought for in the new move
ment are to provide uniform method OF
transacting business, TO promote harmony
of effort among real-estate dealers and to
encourage the investment of capital and
the settling of home-seekers in the county.
The movement, while directly in the
interest OF the reaI-estate dealers, will be
indirectly beneficial to all classes OF peo-
pie. Santa Clara, like so many other sec
tions of California, has been largely in
jured in the past and her advancement
hindered by divisions and dissen sions
among her own people. The struggle for
personal pre-eminence in all undertakings,
which is so characteristic of Americans,
has been carried to excess in California
and has not infrequently become what in
the emphatic language of the time is
known as ''cutthroat business"
We have seen the ill-effects of these
keen rivalries in every department of our
energies. They are to be noted in poll
tics, in commerce, in manufacture and
not infreouently have been seen in the
struggles of rival municipalities. Every
thing which tends to restrict these rival
ries within wholesome bounds is certain
to be beneficial TO every section of Cali
fornla, and, therefore, all movements
which tend to bring about kindlier feelings
between rivals in business and greater
degree of harmony in work for the gen.
eral good may be accounted as among the
more encouraging signs OF the coming ol
new era of prosperity.
1t Is certainly wonderful future thai
lies tefore Santa Clara County. Hei
situation with reference to San Francisco
and to the State at large is most favorable
in every respect. She has ample railway
communication, and may look for the &C
com plishment in the near future of i'm
provements at Alviso which viii give to
her county seat of San Jose practically
all the advantages OF seaport. Her soil,
rising from the valley TO the noun tain
that girdle it. is suitable for the cultiva-
ton of every form of tree or fruit OF
flower that is either useful, beautiful OIL
medicinal, which is known to this temper
ate zone. No climate more agreeable to
men can be found anywhere under heaven,
and no community offers more attractions
in the way of schools, colleges and good
society.
In the very nature OF things it is inevi-
tab e that these advantages must sooner
or later make Santa Clara one OF the mos,
wealthy and thickly populated rural dis
tricts IN the word. 1t has advanced
rapidly in the past, despite the rivalries OF
its local leaders. but will advance much
more rapidly as soon as an era of har-
mony and united effort begins. For that
reason the proposed organization of the
real estate men is one Of the encouraging
signs of the times, and the good results to
how from 1t may be expected to affect not
only that county, but all other sections
OF the State where people are wise enough
! to emulate the example.
