Democratic free trade de-
crease .........................S.3 per cent
During the two first years OF the
democratic free trade German tariff.
our farmers have exported S3l9.027 1876
less of American farm products than in
the two first years of the Mckinley
protective tariff.
The wall Of protection was broken
down, but instead OF letting our farm
stuffs out TO capture the markets of
the world these products have been
caught in the ruins apl farmers have
lost 1919, 100000 worth of foreign trade
in two years.
Under the Mckinley tariff, in IFS first
two years. 1919 per cent. of all our eN-
ports were farm products. In the two
years of the German tariff only 67s75
per cent. Of our exports have come from
our farms. In the second Mckinley
year 1850 per cent. OF all our export
trade came from American farms, but
in the second free trade year our farm
ers supplied only &C per cent. OF all eN-
ports, a loss of more than IL per cent.
As the democrats lied so damnably 20
farmers in 1892 on the subject of free
trade, they were no more truthful in
1896. II is easy, too. to understand " by
they tried 10 dodge all tariff talk 20

IL is surprising how few women con

blonde and brunette alike. To some
women IL was absolutely fatal to any
good looks they mny have possessed.

The democratic newspapers which
are calling Sherman a "wobbler" would
keep quiet about him IL they knew his
record as well as they think they know
it, Sherman, from the senate com
mittee on finance, did more than any
other man 10 push the resumption bill
through congress, and as head of the
treasury he put that measure into oper-
alton when IL became law. Some active
work was required to rush that bill
through. IL was passed in the short
session OF congress, on the eve OF the
democratic entrance into control of the
house in 1875. If the bill had failed in
that session resumption would have
been postponed for years, for tho demo-
Gratis opposed IL, and when they got in
20 power tried to repeal the law, but
were foiled by the republicans. John
Sherman anchored the country's cur

Tell the Equality Society Their Ideas
of Suffrage.
OAKLAND, CAL, Feb. 3.-The Political
Equality Society of Alameda County held
very lively meeting yesterday afternoon.
There was heated debate over some
points of parliamentary law, which the
president, Mrs. Isabel Baldwin, very
quietly settled, according to a ruling
made by Susan B. Anthony. The
trouble arose over the election of the new
recording secretary, and Mrs. Alfred
Stebbins was elected. Mrs. Morris Wood
hams and Mrs. Olive Babcock figured in
the debate, but their points of order were
either not well taken or wer' considered
as being out of order, for they received no
recognition from the chair, and when the
minutes of this meeting are submitted for
approval at the next gathering there will
likely be a strenuous effort made to have
them altered.
The following resolution, which was
passed at a previous meeting, has been
sent to the Alameda delegation at Sacra-
mento: Resolved, that memb bers of tn e
State Legislature who represent the
county of Alameda be and hereby are

ner in the premises and has been instru-
mental in bringing the matter to the at
tention of the Board of Health, and now
the matter of absting the nuisance has
been thrown directly on the shoulders of
the Health Officer, DR.. Bradley.
The City Attorney has advised the
Health Officer to commence a criminal
action against the owners of the property
for maintaining the nuisance. 81 believe
this is the safest thing TO do" said City
Attorney Peirsol. "Tbe city should go
ahead and fill the pond with good soil,
but it might be hard to collect the cost
from the owners. There are other ways
OF abating the nuisance, but the quickest
and safest way would be to arrest the
owners ol the property for maintaining a
public nuisance"
Councilman Heltman obtained prom
they would fill in the bog when the city
graded and macadamized the streets
around it. This was done, but the prom
ise was not kept, and Mr.. Heitman said
to-day that if it were necessary he would
do his best to secure an appropriation
from the Council for the purpose of prose-
cutting criminal action against the
owners.
The petition, which people are readily
signing-especially those whose children
are attending the schools as follows:
To the Board Of Health Of the City of Oakland
GENTLEMEN: We, the undersigned residents
and property-holders in the vicinity of the
stagnant pond situated between Third and
Fifth streets and Chestnut and Adeline streets,
do earnestly petition you to take immediate
steps to have this long-standing nuisance
abated. We respectfully recommend that the
pond, or bog, be filed in with good, clean
soil. All attempts to DIR ain the pond are of no
avail. 1t is quagmire, covered with green
scum, and for many months in the year the
vile odors arising from 1t are very obnoxious.
We also wish to call your attention to the
vacant blocks in our neighborhood between
Fifth and Seventh streets and Linden and
Adeline streets. These blocks are being made
dumping ground for garbage. Can these
dump piles be removed and the practice
stopped?
But the pond and the garbage are not only
very unsightly, but they are also a constant
menace to the health of over 800 school chill
dren, as well as menace to the health of the
community and the town.
