MR.. BRYAN'S CALIFORNIA
TOUR

The vast degree Of interest that ie
being shown in the coming visit of Mr..
Bryan to California is a surprise even
to that gentleman's warmest friends
and most sanguine champions. When
it is considered that Mr.. Bryan is de-
feated candidate for the presidency,
that this is an off year in politics, that
the financial question is not now prom
inently before congress and the people,
the interest manifested is really remark
able
There is hardly newspaper or town in
all Southern California that has not ex-
pressed the wish that Mr.. Bryan's itin-
erary could be arranged so that their
people might at least have an opportu-
nifty to see the valiant young champion
of free silver. OF course the wishes of
all cannot be gratified, but The Herald
hopes that the arrangements for the
tour of the state will be made as liberal
and as comprehensive as possible.
There is but one Interpretation possi-
bic of the interest shown both in Mr..
Bryan and in the especial cause he rep
resente. Both are still dear to the hearts
of the people. Silver is not dead, nor is
it sleeping, even. The campaign of ed
ucation is still in progress, even though
there is no general battle to be fought
this year. The voters are eager to see,
ready to learn and in every way are
anxious to prepare for the great battle
of 1900.
But there is no reason why the recep-
ton to Mr.. Bryan in California should
be of a partisan character. Mr.. Bryan
is a grand type of the educated, self
reliant and patriotic young American cit
izen; man of clean character and noble
inpirations; one who has been the de.
serving recipient of high honors from
the common people. Such man, wheth-
er he be Democrat or Republican. or
neither, may we'll be warmly received
by American communities regardless of
political affiliations.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
Pomona's License Law

Pomona voted against prohibition at
the last municipal election, but it's trus-
tees have adopted the most stringent
license law ever enacted in the state. L.
permits but two saloons, and each must
pay license of $1,000 year. The sa-
loon must give bonds to the amount of
$4,000 that they will comply with the
conditions of the ordinance. The saloons
may remain open but six days in the
week. and must close at 10 p. m. No
frosted windows are allowed. No seats
may be offered patrons as an induce
mert to prolong their stay. No leaning
against barrels is permitted. The sa-
loon is limited to one door, No LIQUOR
may be sold to minors or to women.
Any woman may have the sale of liquor
forbidden to a male relative upon whom
she is dependent for support.-San Ber-
nardino Times-Index.

Client warships that are ready at an
hours notice to go to sea. or course the
Cuban flag could not be recognized until
the Cubans were first accorded belliger-
ent rights, but the junta declares that
the Cuban ships are manned and ready
to start forth to strike for independence
upon the very day that the congress Of
the United States shall recognize the
belligerent rights Of the islanders. Now
the recognition Of the Cubans as bellig-
erents is not casus belli between the
United States and Spain. and need not
involve the catastrophe that the fervid
apprehension Of the president and his
secretary OF state has conjured up to
scare the children and the bankers of our
coast cities. With their four war vessels
and the advantages which the recogni-
ton Of their struggle would bestow upon
their cause, the Cubans would require
less than six months to expel the last
of Weyler's bandits from the island. If
the excessive timidity Of the administra-
tion must prevent direct action by this
government to protect our defeneeless
citizens in Cuba from Spanish oppres-
sion, here at least, is one way out of the
danger that even mercenary might not
hesitate to recommend. Something
ought surely to be done before the last
Of those eight hundred starving Amer
leans shall have perished within the
shadow of their native country.

TEE CANADIAN TARIFF

Just at this time, when congress is
teresting to note what the Canadian par
lament is doing in the same line. THE
reformed tariff Of the liberal administra-
tion," as the Canadian measure is
known, is practically two tariffs
"a preferential one for Great Britain
and other reciprocating countries, and a
general one against the world.
The manner in which a new tariff iSput
into operation in Canada is very different
from the corresponding plan in this
country. These tariff changes are an
nounced by the minister OF finance in his
budget speech. This is done late in the
evening, so that nobody can take ad-
vantage of the new tariff that day The
schedules are telegraphed to every port
of entry, and when the custom houses
open for business the next morning
duties are paid according to the rates OF
the new tariff.
Some days afterward the bill is, formal
ly adopted. The plan looks risky to
American eyes, yet the ministry takes
full responsibility for the enforcement
of their tariff, feeling perfectly safe with
good majority in parliament behind
them.
| In general way the new tariff makes
many important reductions, but reci-
procity is the most remarkable feature
The average rate is little leer, than &c
per cent, The greatest increase has
been upon luxures-spirits, tobaccos
cigars and cigarettes. The reciprocal or

"The difference IL neatly expressed
by the City of Mexico Two Republics
newspaper when 1t says: Great gym
pathy has been expressed with Mexico
on the part Of tender-hearted financiers
because, being on a silver basis, they
feared lest harm should befall this coun-
try. 1t grieves them to see two dollars
apparently paid for one. and, in their
anguish. great. large tears roll down
their tortured cheeks. Would it grieve
them so deeply If Mexico were compelled
to issue millions of bonds in times Of
peace for the purpose of maintaining her
silver stan6ard?" Mexico has the single
silver standard, and IS prosperous. The
United States has the single gold stand
ard and has hard times. The gold
and silver bimetallic standard would be
the happy medium for this country to
adopt.

DON'T LIE ABOUT SILVER

The Galveston News asserts that
Dingleyism is but another form of the
"5O-cent dollar" arguing after this fash
ion:
Free coinage of silver would have
effected a reduction of the purchas-
ing power of the American dollar. and
that is just the result which will be
achieved by Dingleyism. If Dingley-
ism increases prices ultimately by so
per cent, why is it preferable to coin
age measure that would have the same
effect through different process?
The free coinage of silver principle has
been lied about enough without having
the atrocities Of the Dingley bill saddled
upon it. The degradation of silver has
appreciated the purchasing power of
gold 100 per cent and now the Republi-
can majority in congress proposes to add
insult to injury by increasing prices
through an extortionate protective"
tariff.
This is how it works. The price paid
to the producer is cut in halves by the
operation of the single gold standard.
The workingman is paid on the gold
standard, but protection increases the
price of what he consumes from 40 to 60
per cent. The manufacturer pays his
help on a gold standard basis, and gets
"protected' pricee for his goods. He
may further advance prices by creating
a trust or monopoly, a curse which the
protective tariff system grows to perfec-
ton.
The free coinage of silver would put
the purchasing power Of the dollar
where it ought to be, and tariff for
revenue only would properly adjust
prices to the consumer. Both the pro-
ducer and the consumer would be fairly
treated.

Barlow VS.. Alger

How the minds of great men do differ.
The Los Angeles Herald (as we'll as the
CalO in speaking Of Congressman Bar
lows interview with Secretary Alger,
compliments him for his pluck and cour-
age and boldness in making himself
heard before that high official, while
the San Francisco Chronicle speaks of
him as one who has no standing either
in congress or with the departments.
And so it goes. We cannot all see alike.
What wonderfully befuddled thing
politics is anyhow. At all Odds we think
Mr.. Barlow displayed more Of the true
man than did Alger. The latter as good
as called Southern Californians set of
ignoramuses, not knowing what they
need or want, and implying that he, from
hie far-off perch. is capable of telling
them. Bah! on such self-conceited
chaps-Norwalk Call.

THE EVERYDAY TRAGEDY

| There has been developed in San Fran
cisco within the past few weeks suffi-
cient incident by flood and field to furn-
ish all the necessary sensation for sun
dry unclassitied works of fiction.
Nor would the work Of rounding out
the suggested romance entail any ex
haustive labor Of the imagination in
order that there might be produced a
highly diversified series of adventures
The plain facts would prove very in
structive to the student Of human ma
ture, and would need but little amplifica-
tion or establishment to make them in
teresting to the general reader as well.
All the dominant causes that are at
work in making the comedies. or trage-
dies as the temper Of the student may
choose to designate the Incidents of Bay
city life, have a common starting point
"a millionaire and emart woman.
This form Of association is shown in
the present service to be either platonic
or otherwise, but whatsoever the char
acter of the compact in this regard the
final result seems always to point to
disaster on the smart woman's side and
a complaisart, but somewhat chastened
capitalist upon the other. Baldwin's
discarded friend, for instance, having
recently suffered a new humiliation
through a misdirected effort to compel
what she regarded as the consideration
due her, has become his Nemesis and
talks of vengeance.
Miss Young, the three-weeks' countess
Of Turkheim as the wife of a bogus
count, is the Nemesis that Lawyer Del
mas will have to conciliate. She is on
her way home from London and is pre-
Pared to take such action as a very Wig
orous and very angry woman may be
expected to take who fancies that she
has been made the automatic victim of
the most extravagant farce of modern
life.
General Barillas of Guatemala is pla-
was so pleased by the courteous notice
of the gushing maidens Of San Francisco
that he showered his gold in playful
abandon at their feet. He made up
party of young people and took them
as his guests upon a trip to Europe
He is now called upon to defend breach
of promise suit, notwithstanding he is
a married man and a grandfather.
The Fair-Craven suit is the eff1or-
escence of another of those platonic re-
iations-and so the unhealthy expos
ures crowd upon the stage of human
action without any intermission.
Inordinate wealth on the one side,
inordinate Stiffness and passion for dis
play upon the other-the harvest is all
that could be expected. The details of
this wretched mass Of human misery
and degradation fill the columns of the
San Francisco dailies just as similar
tragedies have been detailed for years,
but the buoyant adventurer of either
sex laughs at alien experiences. Vast
accumulations of wealth are scattered
when the play reaches the stage of
exposure. This period is the harvest of
the lawyer, the rage of the concerned
capitalist and the despair of the ad-
ventures.

preferential tariff applies to all goods
except epirits, tobaccos. cigars, cigar
cites, sugar, molassee and syrups. Upon
these the high duty is maintained for
revenue purposes
| As Is wen known. the bill providee
that when the governor. in council,
comes to the conclusion that protected
article has been advanced in price by
reason Of the formation Of q trust or
monopoly he may reduce the duty on
the article so as to admit OF competi-
tdon.
The people Of the United States are,
Of course, interested in the attitude Of
Canada toward this country by reason
Of the new tariff. The Dingley bill will
also affect trade relations between the
United States and Canada. In this con-
nection the minister Of finance said:
There are men in Canada who think we
should meet the Dingley bill on the prin-
ciple of an eye for an eye and tooth for
a tooth; but we submit that 1t is a
wiser policy to wait and see what shall.
be the outcome Of the present uncer-
tainty in the United States in relation to
their trade policy, and Of the negotia-
tions which we are willing to enter into
with respect to reciprocity"
So it rests with our own lawmakers
to a large degree, as to what shall be
the duties placed upon American prod
ucts entering Canada. The idea in
this country has been to prevent, as far
as possible, Canadian goods from COM
ing into competition with our own.

promise must be at the expense Of the
advocates of bimetallism.
There can be no permanent peace. nor
even a truce without q cessation of hos
tilities, and a cessation of hostilities
means the preservation of the existing
conditions. In other words, harmony
between the regular Democrats and the
boilers means the maintenance Of the
gold standard as long as that harmony
lasts.
Not only does harmony mean the tenn
porary maintenance Of the gold stand
ard, but 1t gives to the gold Democracy
a party standing which will make them
more potent for evil in the next contest.
Much OF the harm which they did in
1896 grew out of the fact that they used
the Democratic name for the purpose of
deception. II the boiling organization
is left alone and will be powerless to de-
ceive by the time we enter upon another
national contest. If. however. the two
organizations patch up a temporary
peace, the distinction between them will
become to some extent obliterated. and
the same fraud can be perpetrated in
1900 which was perpetrated in 1896.
The regular Democrats have every
tHllS " AOSC anu AOtAAi6 " sam W
making concessions to those who de-
sire to use the Democratic name without
supporting the Democratic principles.
I have only spoken Of the difference
which exists upon the money question.
Next to the money question in import
ance is the question Of trusts. Many
of the gold Democrats are SO tied UP
with trusts and monopolies Of the coun-
try that even il they were with us they
would be an embarrassment rather than
an aid Of the position taken by the reg
ular Democrats upon the money ques-
tion. and the question Of trusts is in
harmony with the doctrine that the gov
ernment should guarantee equal rights
to all and give special privileges to none.
1t will not contribute to the ultimate
success OF the party to attempt to con-
ciiiate those whose instincts or business
connections lead them to repudiate the
fundamental Democratic principles,
namely: Equality before the law.
