SPREAD OF PROTECTION.

The extension of belief in protection to
home industries even among men of the
South who have long been sticklers for
tariff for revenue only Is strong evidence
that protection will now be the settled
policy of the country for many years to
come. When we see such men as Senator
Bacon OF Georgia conte nding for protee-
ton to the industries of his State it is
clear that the ranks OF the old-time Demo-
cratic free-traders have been badly
broken up.
The stock argument that protection is
unfair to agriculture ignores the needs of
agriculture for markets and the fact that
the home market is more valuable than
the foreign. In an article on 1.-The Phil
osophy of Protection" in Gnutons Magu-
zine, it is pointed out that India, Argen-
tina and other such partly civilized coun-
tries are rapidly pushing competition in
agricultural products toward the bar
barism point. American farmers must
hope for large manufacturing popu!a-
ton here at home if they wish to con-
.Inue to get prices for their products that
will enable them to live in a manner supe-
ror to the semi-eivilized people Of more
purely agricultural lands.
As for the fear that protection unduly
favors individuals, a consideration of the
VS. of competition will be sufficient for
its dismissal from the mind. Whenever
the margin OF profit in any business be-
comes unusually large, then surplus
capital is sure to rush in to reap the ad-
vantages and thus the average of reason
able gain is soon restored. Not merely
surplus capital will come into such bust.
nesses, but some will be. sure TO be with
drawn from less profitable investments to
enter into the com petition.
The end OF the whole matter is that
wealth and brains com bine to find cheaper
methods of production. and the consumer
is soon getting the benefit in reduced
prices. But for this concentration of
energy on skilled ways of manufacturing
and distribution in times past, our people
would not only be paying more for their
goods to-day, but they would be sending
moro of their money out of the country to
foreigners.
ALI great civilization is dependent upon
the building up OF varied industries.
Nothing but protection will thorough ly
accomplish this. The policy of The Gov
ernment under Mckinley will promote
National development and cause for
eigners to equitably contribute to our
National revenue. The experiment of
trying policy of tariff for revenue only
has been found unsatisfactory so often
| and this time so disastrously by the people
that we can safely count on the late
Wilson tariff blunder being the last OF
such legislation for many years.

OAKLAND DAY.

The CITY of Oakland is to-day prepared
to receive visitors, and has every reason to
expect them in large numbers. Her at
fractions are at all seasons sufficient 10 re-
pay the time and energy required from
the tourist TO inspect them, but this time
they are augmented by an exposition of
industries and by special arrangements
made for the reception and entertainment
of all who come.
AS many of the Eastern visitors to our
City as can afford to do so should make
the trip TO Oakland and take part in the
festivities Of the day. Eastern people
should by all means see the exhibit of
Alameda industries now on exposition,
as it will afford them basis from which
they can estimate something OF the n ate
rial wealth and resources of the State.
Alameda, while it is one of the most ia
vored counties of California, is after Ill
only one, and what it has achieved in the
way of industry is but an example of the
results which have been accomplished il
other populous counties, and which may
be expected in the future from those
which are yet lacking in the wealth and
population necessary for the full devel-
opment OF their resources.
1t is to be hoped the Christian En-
deavorers and their friends will take the
time to see many parts of California be-
fore they leave They must not undertake
to Judge the State by a single section.
This commonwealth is not like those of
the East, where a uniform condition OF
soil and climate prevails from one end of
The State to the other. Here we have not
merely variety but a diversity of condi-
tions which can hardly be found else
where on the globe within an equal area.
As means of studying the diverse con-
ditions of California within districts con-
tiguous to one another our Eastern visi.
tors will find visit to Oakland of no little
profit. From San Francisco to Alamo la
County is no great journey. and yet on
the other side of the bay they will see
much that is wholly distinct from oondi-
tions in this City. The visit TO Oakland
should be made and this is decidedly the
best day to make it. 1t is grand recep-
ton occasion over there, aud all who at
tend it will be cordially welcomed and
abundantly entert aimed.

Mrs. Clara s. Foitz the well-known woman
lawyer OF this city, has just won case in the
sixth District Court against the New York
Herald, which is OF paramount Importance to
newspaper writer's
MISS Belle A Whitney, the editor OF the
Woman's World and Jenness Miller Monthly,
sent some articles in manuscript to the New
York Herald in May, 1895. She wrote them
several letters asking If they had used the
same or intended to them. and finally
after many months was informed that the
matter was accented and was in type. They
also told her that they paid as soon as pub
llshed or on receipt of clipping. AS 1t was out
OF the question for her to watch every edition
OF the Herald she decided to place the matter
in the hands of Mrs. Foltz for collection.
Mrs. Foltz 1eeeived much the same replies
to her letters demanding settlement and,
after an interview with the manager OF the
paper, decided 10 bring suit After making
out her case and having a day set for trial the

her version OF the case from lawyers stand

cation OF the course pursued by many pub
fishers, and stated that she founded her claim
on the we'll known principle in law which
says that when person accepts the labor

physical, he is legally bound to pay for 1t,
and she could not see wherein the party re-
celvlng the benefit of such labor could make a
rule contrary to this we'll blished prin-
ciple.
When the day came for the trial OF the case
the defenoant's attorney paid the amount de-
manded, with all costs OF the court, and the
suit was dismissed.
This settlement of the case can be quoted as
forming precedent in q matter which has

WILLIAM L. MERRY.

The report from Washington that Cap
tain William L. Merry of this City will in
all likelihood be appointed United States
Minister to Nicaragua. Salvador and Hon
duras is in the highest degree gratifying.
The old phrase about "the right man in
the right place. has been worn so thread
bare that it no longer has much force to
impress the mind, nevertheless it is the
best phrase which can be used in this in
stance, since it so accurately sums up the
position which Captain Merry will occupy
il the President appoints him to that office.
No man in California, and indeed no
man in the United States, is better itted
to serve the interests of the Pacific Coast
and of the Union generally in the Central
American States than Captain Merry. He
has made thorough study OF our COM
mercial needs with particular reference to
Central American countries, and knows
what should be done there to promote
our trade and benefit our industries. He
has moreover, something more than
knowledge. He possesses the exc ecutlve
ability which will enable him to apply his
knowledge to good purpose and make it
useful to the Government and to the peo-
pie under every circumstance that comes
within the scope of his official power
One of the main reasons for pull blic graf.
ihcation IN the proposed appointment OF
Captain Merry is the interest which he
has taken in the Nicaragua canal and the
zeal and energy which he has displayed
in prom oting ii. No man on the Pacific
Coast and few men in the Nation have
been more prominent or more untiring in
their efforts to bring about an immediate
beginning of that important enterprise.
He has spoken, written and worked for it
for years, and can be counted on to ma
terially advance the project if intrusted
with the important powers and advan-
tages which are inherent in the office OF
United States Minister to Nicaragua.
President Mckinley has exercised such
good judgment in the selection of men to
I'LL high offices of state that praise of him
in that respect has become com mon place.
Nevertheless, the appointment OF Cap
tain Merry to Nicaragua will be so wise
selection that public approval will not
fail to manifest itself in a marked degree.
People of the Pacific Coast may well be
congratulated on the prospect of his ap-
pointment, for they can confidently count
on good results from his labors in the
Office.

A PROPHECY.
office.

Robert ?. Porter, the famous statisti-
clan, has recently dug up prophecy two
centuries old concerning the United
States, made by William Patterson. the
founder of the Bank of England. Patter-
son said that the period was not very far
distant when the Americans, instead of
waiting for the slow returns of trade.
would seize the gateway of South America
and, stationed on the east and west sides
of the New World, would form the most
potent and singular empire that has ap.
peared, because it will consist not in the
dominion of a part of the lana Of the
globe, but in the domination of the whole
ocean. If blessed with letters and arts
they will spread civilization over the uni
verse. Then England, with all her liber-
ties and glory, may be known only as
Egypt is now"
The strategic advantage of thus lying
broadside of the two principal oceans was
one of i'm ense importance to the eyes of
this Engiishman. To bis mind the
United States was the center of the world,
and from this vantage ground to control
the trade of the world was easy. The
point in the prophecy to which we should
which tells OF our opportunity to grasp
South American trade. 1t is high time
his foretelling in this regard should be
brought 10 pass. and If it is not it will be
because he failed to count on q possible
lack OF foresight among our commerc al
class, and not because he overestima ated
the opportunity.
Tnere can be no doubt that many OF
our commercial men see the situation as
Patterson saw it, but they need to be re-
minded of the dangers of procrastination
in the matter of business extension to
South America. The big mercantile
houses of Europe, especially of Germany,
arc pushing energeticaily to get control
of this trade, and the longer they have
the field in undisputed possession the
more difficult it will be TO build up our
com merce with them. 1t is chance for
great conquest of peace, and we surely
have generals of commerce capable of
successfully conducting enterprises that
would make South America ours in that
way.
Some day the canal mny he opened
across Central America, and some day
there will be railways through it and on
down to Cape Horn, but much can be
done without waiting for these vastly ex-
pensive Improvements. The German
method of starting with very small orders
and then from the most hum BILE begin
nings to gradually develop a great CON-
merce should be energeticaliy and pa.
tiently tried.
