County Clerk Bridgman.

w. Bridgman for reelection, a
populist paper at Monte Vista
says: "Mr. Bridgman has not
come up to the expectations of his
friends in some respects, and con-
scquently will meet with some op-
position in the convention"
The trouble with Mr.. Bridg-
man seems to be that he refuses to
let a certain element of the populist
party at Monte Vista dictate to
him. The fact that MIR. Bridg-
mans administration has cost the
county less than half as much rs
his predecessors does not count for
anything in the eyes of rcformers
who are rcformers for revenue
only. The records show that it
cost Rio Grandc county S3,3l3.45
to run the clerks office the year
before Mr.. Bridgman took pos
session. During the first year of
his administration he reduced the
total expense of his Office to 81,
sol. ia saving of nearly two
thousand dollars. The Enquirer
has no definite information Us to
whether Mr.. Bridgman is candi-
date or not. but should he be, the
opposition of the loud mouthcd
brigade of ofiicc-itch reformers at
Monte Vista would only add to his
strcngth.-Enquircr.
The above is quite a contrast to
the circular which the pious editor
of the Enquirer caused to be pub
lishcd clandestinelv and circulated
on the eve of Mr.. Brldgman's cleo
ton, from which we quote us fol.
lows:

WHO PAYS P

Senator Mills and the New York
World between them have presented a
statistical comparison with reference
to ''the American system Of protection"
so called, that forms a most impressive
object lesson:
The selling price Of our manufactures
made and consumed at home in 1890 was
s9,172 497,2
The selling price in an unprotected
market, according to Mulhall's calcula-
ton would have been s6,S79, 1927. 900.
The difference on the bounty to Amer
lean manufacturers was 50, 293, 110,2s3.
But, the tariff shouters tell US, the
workingman gets the benefit of the pro-
lection in increased wages. Does he? In
1890 the total wages paid to all persons
engaged in manufacturing was $685.

Thus the bounty received by the man
ufacturers in 1890 amounted to more
than they paid their workingmen dur

Such was the opera tion of the McKin-
ley tariff. 1t is not strange that trusts
have sprung up, like toadstools in a
night. under the Republican system Of
protection.

A FARMERS REVOLT

In the letter that we publish this
morning written by farmer who Is evil
IDENTIFY both practical and hard headed
there are lucidly set forth certain abuses
and impositions which will surprise the
average city man. The authorities
seem to have established so many spe-
cial taxes for the farmer as to make his
burden almost intolerable AS our cor
respondent points out, dues and taxes
have so accumulated that the farmer
must be in a large way Of business to
peddle his produce at a profit.
The cheapest stall in the city market
costs $3.50 month and this is merely for
wagon space and does not include any
covering or accommodations. Besides
this charge there are city and county
licenses of 81 per month each, and lately
an additional fee of S. per month has
been imposed for soliciting orders for
future delivery. This means in all a
sum of $3.50 per month If the farmer de-
sires to dispose of his produce within
having an occasional load of early vege-
tables or deciduous fruit cannot possi-
bly, afford to haul it to town to dispose of
it himself.
The whole system has been Ingenious
ly devised for the protection and ad-
vantage OF the commission merchants
the middlemen, who have to pay no
charges of this sort at all.
Our CORE spondent further calls at
tention to the grievous increase in tax
alton which threatens to overwhelm the
small farmer. His illustration, if not
exaggerated, is a serious enough exam
pie. Seven years ago 800 pounds of green
fruit paid the taxes; today the taxes on
the same property take five tons of
green fruit to pay.
With such an outlook, our city legis-
lators should do their utmost to tighten
the load of the farmer, rather than to i'm
pose a burden which is proving dispro-
portionate and intolerable.
Many of the truck growers in the
vicinity of the city propose to make a
legal test of these eXtortionate taxes and

Simpsons Grudge Against Reed

Jerry Simpson represents the largest
congressional district in the United
States in point Of population. Jerry
would not mind If it was g. little smaller
as to territory and population both, for
then he could manage 1t more easily.
There are thirty-six counties in his dis
trict, which goes by title as 1.-THE Big
Seventh" and he has to corral plural
ity of the votes represented by popula-
tion of 278, ,20S before he can be reelected.
He would just revel in running for con-
gress in Nevada, with its population of
45761, or Utah, with a poulation'of 207,-
905, or Arizona, with 1920, or New Mex
leo, with 1853, 593, or Oklahoma, with 61,-
834, or Wyoming. with its population of
6O7O5, or even Montana, with popula-
ton of 1872, ,159, but instead Of that he has
to herd plurality Of 81, 900 votes into the
ballot boxes down in his district or the
other fellow gets there in the campaign
of '95 and one of the reasons why Jerry
likes to aggravate Tom Reed so we'll is
because the "Great White Gar" went
out into Jerry's district last fall and
made a speech for Chester I. Long and
told the vast multitude which congre-
gated to hear him that up to the time
that Mr.. Long was sent to congress the
district had been represented by chaos
for four years, and Jerry doesn't like to
be so denominated.-Wash Post.

TRADE RELATIONS WITH
MEXICO

Every business man in Southern Cal
ifornia who was not present at tn,
meeting Of the Los Angeles Merchant
and Manufacturers association Monda,
night should read the address delivered
on that occasion by General Andrade
the new consul for the republic Of Mex
leo. upon Trade Relations With Mex
ico." The address must have been 6
revelation even to those who are mors
or less familiar with the matter, and /,
should produce immediate and substan-
tial results.
That Los Angeles and Southern Cal.
ifornia can without interference with
other large markets, supply the Mexican
trade with many staples is made very
clear by the consul, who has evidently
given the subject considerable study
Petroleum, corn. hay barley, beans, po-
tatoes. onions, lard, bacon, hams, and
the nut and fruit products Of this Sec
tion should find a ready market in the
neighboring republic. Why should the
Mexicans be obliged to send to st. Louis
or Kansas City. or New Orleans or San
Francisco for these things?
Senor Andrades reference to the pos
sibilities of trade in mining machinery
are particularly timely, not only on ac-
count Of the development of the Mexi-
can mines. but because of the possibili-
ties of our own mining section. The
time has not yet come when it is safe
to establish great mining machinery
plants in Los Angeles, but with the de-
velopment of our mining districts and
trade with Mexico, the necessity for
them will surely come. And Los An
geles, favored as it Is in many other
respects, will act most wisely in en-
couraging manufactures of all kinds.
Nor are all the possibilities on one
side. The great variety of Mexican
products for which a market might be
made here will do much to increase the
bulk and maintain the permanency of
cur trade relations with Mexico.
The business men of Southern Califor-
mia. having extended a cordial welcome
to the new consul, should at least meet
him half way in his endeavors to make
the business relations of the two coun-
tries mutually beneficial
The committee on freight rates Of the
chamber Of commerce will doubtless be
able to do good work in connection with
the proposition to increase our trade
with Mexico. The water rates must be
made competitive, and not prohibitory
haul is naturally in our favor, and it
should be made so in practice.

SOLUTION OF TWO PROBLEMS

The Mississippi valley at times suffers
from too much water, and the Rocky
mountain region from too little. The
agricultural interests of both sections
depend upon the solution of the problem
Of relieving one from its surplus, and
supplying the deficiency to the other.
Efforts are now being made which 1t
seems probable will solve both to an ex-
tent. These problems have been under
investigation for some time; that of re-
lieving the districts liable to be flooded,
the longer because the subject was first
brought to attention through settlement
and occupation by civilized people.
Nearly fifty years ago the government
appointed two able engineer officers to
investigate the means by which over
flow of the Mississippi bottoms might
be prevented, or mitigated. These Off
GERS were Messrs. Humphreys and Alb
bott, who made thorough investigation
Of the subject, the result of which was
published under the title of the Physics
and Hydraulics OF the Mississippi
River" Three propositions were con-
Ndered for protecting that section from
floods, which were, construction of
levees, the making of additional outlets
into the gulf, and construction of reser-
voirs in the mountains to receive and
hold back the waters during the flood
periods. The last named plan was re-
ported against on account of the enor-
nous expense which would be incurred
The needs of the country did not then
suggest the accomplishment of any other
object than that of protecting the al
luvial lands from inundation.
The tremendous increase in our popu-
lation and the consequent occupa ton of
what was designated as the Great
American Desert" disclosed the import
ance of taking measures for bringing un-
der cultivation a vast region which had
been non-productive on account of its
aridity. This growth of population
made apparent the necessity to conserve
for purposes of irrigation, the waters
produced from the melting of the vast
body of snow which falls in winter and
which contributes so largely to the VOL
ume that endangers the lowlands of the
lower Mississippi valley
Within the last few years the subject
of irrigation has been forced upon
public attention, and it is under
stood that it cannot be extensive
except by conservation of water
through the construction of a compre-
hensive system of reservoirs. The gov

GIVE sEM ROOM
The San Francisco correspondence Of

The San Francisco correspondence Of
for the coming of William ]. Bryan
early next month. 1t looks as though
the presence of that distinguished ora
tor and champion of progressive Dem
ocracy would be the occasion of great
political rally and half dozen Fourths
of July rolled into one. Everybody, al
most. regardless of political affiliations,
social standing, age. sex or condition,
is desirous of seeing Mr.. Bryan and
hearing his eloquent voice. Just where
and how one-half of one per cent of
the people who cherish such desire
can possibly be gratified is the problem
to be solved. The Christian Endeavor
people. having long time ago secured
for their national convention the Me-
chanics' pavilion-the largest audience
room in town-for the 7th proximo. the
very night on which Bryan is to speak
here, the best that his managers could
do was to secure Woodward's pavilion,
a structure utterly inadequate to ac-
commodate the uncounted thousands
who will be eager to hear him and
determined, if possible, to force an en-
trance into the building.
The San Francisco committee will
make a serious mistake if they attempt
to make any second rate auditorium fiji
i Bryan crowd. In Los Angeles, which
Is only one-third as large as San Fran
cisco, it has been found necessary tc
have the Bryan meeting held in the oper
air, so that all who come may have ar
opportunity to see and hear the new
apostle of economic liberty.
Give the Bryan folks room and they
will do the rest
