Merchants of City Meet Rail-

Paint Manufacturers of Coast

crease on Linseed Oil

Special protest was made yesterday
by the local shippers against the pro-
jected increase in rates on westbound
freight. Wednesday the eastbound
tariffs were the subject of discussion
between the traffic officials oil the rail-
roads and the representatives OF CALI
fornia industries Yesterday was de-
voted to the consideration OF the gem
eral advance proposed for freight OF
almost every description from eastern
points TO San Francisco. Although
strong representations were made to
the railroads, nothing more than a
promise TO take the matter under con-
sideration was given in return
The conference was held yesterday
morning in the offices of IL. A. Jones in
the Flood building. The railroads were
represented by III. a Jones. freight

cific: G, w. Luce, general freight agent
of the Southern Pacific; E. w. Cham
bers and w. G. Barnwell of the Santa
Fe and t. M. Sloan of the Salt Lake
| line, I. c. Friedlander was present in
behalf of the traffic bureau of the Mer-
chants exchange.
| The protest on behalf of the shippers
was voiced by /. s. Littlefield of w. p.
| Fuller & Co, G.. J. Bradley of the Cali
! fornia traffic association, Benjamin
| SchlosS of the Schloss crockery COM
pany and William II. Lowenthal of the
PdraHlne paint company.
Littlefield and Lowenthal Joined in the
/ protest against the increase in the rate
on linseed oil. Under the proposed
schedule the raw product viii move
under such high freight rates as to
make it almost impossible for San
francisco paint manufacturers to COM
pete with paint concerns of the east
| The eastern concerns have also the ad-
vantage in the smaller carload mini
mum under which their shipments
move. Littlefield and Lowenthal spoke
for q dozen local manufacturers and
they protested vigorously against the
threatened increase as an unjust dis
elimination against California.
Schless objected to the advance in
rates on such articles as jars used for
preserved fruit. He showed that the
additional impost placed the California
crockery firms at a great disadvantages
Bradley argued generally against the
increase in rates. pointing out the in
jury that would be done to the indus
| tries of the state.
The statements of the traffic officials
was not regarded as encouraging by
| the shippers. They were told that
nothing could be done in the matter un-
til the subject had been referred to the
transcontinental railroad conference.
A large number of the shippers have
grown restive under the arbitrary atti-
tude of the railroads and the demand
for an immediate appeal, both to the
courts and the interstate commerce
commission is growing daily. There
is some talk of an independent steam
ship line. but it has not assumed posi-
| tive shape.
The railroadmen viii confer again
today with number of local shippers
who are to present formal protests.

The New York Times. an antfbry-
an paper. says: j.
II is easy enough to poke fun at
some phases of the Bryan scheme TOT
collecting campaign funds, but we
think that no fair man acquainted
with the old methods and the results
OF them will deny that the underlying
principle OF Mr.. Bryan's plan Is sound,
and that It would be great penent
to public morals II IL could honestly
and successfully be carried out. sue
cessfully" does not necessarily mean
the election OF Mr.. Bryan, but only
the actual collection OF money In MS
way for legitimate expenditures,
enough TO reach the voters with per-
tinent argument and appeal, ana
enough for an organization that snail
bring the mass OF his sincere support
ers to the polls.
The progress OF the fund. under the
plan OF publication OF receipts, VIII
be watched with the keenest interest
by sober and impartial observers OF
our politics. The chief evils OF the old
system were three: First. the inhu'
ence Of large contributors. or classes
of contributors. upon the legislative
and administrative action Of the party
aided. or this the hideous favoritism
OF the protective tarin Is the most
familiar instance in federal anairs;
the race track legislation Is another
In state affairs. the management OF
the city is another, whether through
Tammany here or through the Re-
publican machine In Philadelphia.
Second, the inevitable temptation 10
use funds thus obtained for the cor
ruption OF the suffrage by bribery. re-
peating; and cheating. Third. the
practical stealing of considerable parts
OF the funds by the agents to whom
they were intrusted, from whom strict
accounting was. In the nature OF the
business, impossible. II Is obvious
that neither the first nor the second
of these evils can prevail to any con
siderable extent where money is col
lected In small amounts from numer.
Gus contributors. The lack OF &C
countability would also be reduced TO
It's lowest limits from the need OF
making moderate funds go as FAR as
possible toward imperative ends.
II is clear that good deal OF earn
est work is being done In various
quarters TO apply the Bryan plan,
and with interesting results. Take.
for example. the effort OF the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal. which. since
the nomination OF Mr. Bryan, has rails
ed something over $1,000 I'm very
small sums from a very wide field,
through the southern and western

In response TO an eastern newspa-
pers request for his views on the
tariff. Mr.. J. l.. Hudson. head OF the
Hudson stores In Detroit, Cleveland.
Toledo and Buffalo, goes on record
with characteristic directness and
force as follows:
/ favor tariff reduction, first. BE-
cause think the tariff is not square
deal; 1t gives the protected ones spe'
cial privileges; enables them 10 get
higher price for what they make than
they would otherwise get and higher
than they are fairly entitled TO. This
Is clearly shown in the case OF the
steel trust. Every building that Ia
erected in America pays tribute 10
this trust, and millions OF dollars are
brought to the Golfers OF men who
are already too rich by reason OF ouI
unfair and unjust tariff laws. Then
too, / think It is every mans tight to
buy where he can buy the cheapest
and sell where he can Sell the
dearest, and when government In
terferes with that right for the sake
OF protecting anybody, l think the
government Is everlastingly wrong.

Tariff Law Tends to Monopoly.
Extortion and Corruption

that a man should be fined for TAX
ing goods that he buys here across
the river. II Is so II go to Canada
10 buy anything: | am fined for bring
ing II here. In our case the tarih re-
stricts trade. We lose all the busi-
ness across the Canadian line.
1t seems necessary to have a tariff
for revenue. and yet am not SO sure
about that. | am willing. however,
that our standpatters shall have 1t
and that the tariff shall be SO arrang-
ed that the revenue under II shall be
as great as 1t Is now: but tariff for
protection Is little better In my opin-
ion. than highway robbery. The pro-
lection Is all for the fellow who has
the stun to sell and nothing for
the fellow who buys 1t. The tariff law
tends to the formation Of trusts. to
monopoly, TO extortion and to corrup-
ton OF government. am amazed
when I think OF the men who seem
to be otherwise sane and sensible,
who are standpatters and are opposed
to any change at all In the tariff laws.
To me their position IL absurd. We
can make tariff changes that are nee
essary without interfering with any
one except those who are protected.
or course, some of them Will be hurt;
but the thing TO be considered always
Is the greatest good TO the greatest
number and square deal for every
body. So l favor tariff reduction.
