Painful diseases are bad enough, but when

THE KINGDOM OF HuMBua

The Dingleyites are in high glee ovel
recent sales abroad of American stee
rails in competition with rails of English
manufacture. They point to them as
corroborative evidence of the beneficencs
of the American system of protection
Steel rails have for years been the lay
figure of protection. Twenty-Five years
ago the American manufacturers cou,d
not compete with England and high
tariff has kept foreign rails out. Mean
while American rails have been getting
cheaper and cheaper, until now, as al
ready cited, they are sold abroad against
the "pauper free trade labor" steel rails
of Great Britain.
All this is regarded as noteworthy
triumph by the protectionists. Yet they
have not attempted to explain why
American steel rails are higher at home
than they are abroad. American steel
rails were sold abroad last year at about
rs per cent below prices here, according
to an editorial in the New York Times.
They were sold in Japan at $21 ton
while the home price was $2S. The tariff
under the Wilson-Gorma law was $7.S4
a ton, the same as under the Dingley
law. The American manufacturers
could not have really needed protection,
since they were successfully competing
abroad against foreign made rails. the
product of "pauper labor"
This peculiar situation, however. is
nothing new. American manufactures
have for years been sold abroad cheaper
than they could be purchased at home.
Whatever benefit was derived at home
from the protective duty was Of course
disspated when the home manufactures
were consumed at the higher prices. 1t
is difficult to see how selling at high
prices at home and low prices abroad is
going to help the American people. Why
should our own manufacturers discrim-
mate against us? OF such is the kirg-
dom Of humbug.

When the boom collapsed and near
ly all the eastern press developed such
bitter hostility to Southern California,
the Sun became more than ever our
warm advocate. The articles which were
printed in its editorial columns, going
to the very pith Of the question, did more
than any others printed to rescue the
reputation of the section from the oblo-
guy these hostile papers tried to heap
upon us.
Mr.. Dana's grasp Of economic subjects
was firm. He had an instructive intelli-
gence in all matters relating to busi-
ness affairs. He took in the situation
as 1t is here-the climate, soil, irriga-
ton, marketing of our products, and the
fact that here was destined to be one
of the densest and most intelligent pop
ulations in the world. AS in all things
he had the courage to stand almo st
alone and tell what he knew to be. the
truth about this section. And all of US
know how splendid was his courage
when conviction or prejudice once led
him to a conclusion.
1t is said that in 1888 his opposition to
Cleveland cost the Sun the loss of about
$4,000 subscribers.

TO BE sourtcHED

The wheel Of fortune was not in opera
tion at the race track yesterday, or will
it appear there during the remainder Of
the week. The board of directors of the
fair association met yesterday morning
and passed resolution prohibiting the
running of the swindle on the fair
grounds
The gamblers, however. relying on the
strength Of the district attorneys opir-
ion. resumed the trundling of the wheel
in the heart of the city last
night. But public opinion is more
powerful in such case as this
than even the views Of district attor-
ney, especially as the public is in the
right and the district attorney is in the
wrong.
1t il to the police department that the
people must now look for protection.
The police have done good work in the
cases of the Chinese gamblers and the
tape games, and they have as promisin &
field in suppressing the wheel of for
tune swindle. They broke up the tape
games despite the protection afforded
them by Justice Morrison's decision.
They can squelch the wheel of fortune
despite Mr.. Domell'e opinion.
The game was not interfered with last
night because the chief of police was
unwilling to act contrary to the district
attorneys opinion without definite in-
structions from the police commission.

probability give the necessary instruc-
tions

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1897.
ALGER's LATEST DODGE

Secretary Alger has manufactured an
other excuse for delaying work on the
San Pedro harbor. He has the effron-
terry to assert that congress has not ap-
propriated any money for the harbor and
that he cannot therefore proceed with
its construction.
The matter is explained in special
dispatch to The Herald from Washing
ton, printed elsewhere in today's paper
The secretary holds that congress. while
it has provided for a harbor at San Pc
dro, through the finding of the harbor
board, has actually appropriated no
money, save for the expenses of the
board and for the service of the civil
engineers employed by it.
Mr.. Alger has set up contention that
is based neither upon the law nor upon
common sense. The section upon which
he depends to uphold his unjustifiable
position provides that when the harboi
is located "the secretary of war may
make contracts for the completion of the
improvements of the harbor so selected,
at a cost not to exceed in the aggregate
$4,000, ,0OO," and then $50, 900 is made avail
able at once to pay the necessary pre-
liminary expenses.
The act of congress authorizes the sec
retary of war to go ahead and make
contracts as soon as the location of the
harbor is definitely decided upon. Its
passage, together with the letting of the
contracts, forms binding obligation
upon the government. 1t fully protects
the secretary in any step he may take
for the construction of the harbor, within
the general provisions of the act The
same protection that is afforded the sec
retary is protection for the contractors
Secretary Alger is altogether too 60
licitous regarding the welfare of the con-
tractors. Let him advertise for bids and
any fear regarding payment for theil
work
Senator White, commenting upon the
outrageous position assumed in the har.
Dor matter by Secretary Alger, points
out that the San Pedro act is in the
usual form Of such appropriations, and
that contractors have always been only
too glad to take contracts under thai
form. He particularly cites the case OF
Wilmington, Delaware.
1t is also the case that when an ap-
preparation made. say for public build
ing to cost 81, 900, 900, only a very small
part of the total amount is usually made
Immediately available. but that does no
prevent contracts from being let for tn,
work.
The plain fact of the matter is tha
Secretary Alger in his eager desire t,
serve the interests of his monopolisti
friend, C. P. Huntington, has hit upon I
eubterfuge Of the most unworthy ant
transparent character to delay the con
etruction of the harbor, and afford tn
latter another chance to attempt to de
feat the project altogether.
The echeme is altogether worthy O
tAlger. It may delay, but it will no
prevent the ultimate construction of tn
!harbor at San Pedre.
