On feu (when not paid in advance). 1 00 75 6c 1 60 In declaring "ve have had a hundred yours of unexampled pros perity," the democratic platform forgot that the last thirty cddyeais oi it were under protection. Til a San Jose Mercury says, a man in Vaeaville named J. S. Mo Lam is of the opinion that the whole Chinese problem could be Solved by the enactment of a stale law forbidding the exhu::iulion of the bodies of ihe deaJ, and another requiring the burial of all bodies in the municipality where the death occurred. This would prevent t lie shipping of the bones of dead Chi nese back to China, and it is be lieved that if this were done that superstition would cause the whole race to migrate. The suggestion is a curious one, but it may have some merit in it, though such laws would prove vexatious to whites as well as to Chinese. Economy is necessary to success. The spendthrift never succeeded. No one can succeed who does not conduct his business within his income. Economy is one of the hardest lessons, and it should be learned, for it stands at the very threshhold of a successful bus iness life. It is in the expenditure of small sums that economy should be exercised. The amounts are so small that no account of them is taken, yet in the aggregate they swell into no inconsiderable sum. Young men spend a good deal of money usually, that should be laid up for future use. Economy is not penuriousness. That is not wise in any one. Those who are most successful in life have learned well the lesson of economy. The demand for California canned and dried fruit has increas ed until it is almost a boom. The short eastern crops have made it certain that there will be a ready sale for all good California fruit that can begot to the market, and the Eastern commission men and buyers were trying to secure all the lots that can be had below top prices. This is an improvement on the altitude of buyers last season, and insures prosperity to the fruit interest lor this year. In spite of a. reduced yield by late frosts it is likely that the amount of money brought into California this year's crop will be larger than ever. The demand for California fruit is grow ing year by year, and the time when th&limit will be readied is not yet visible in the future. The dreaded specter of overproduction gets farther away with each year's increase in the area of bearing orchards. S. F. Examiner. It is probable that nothing more will be heard of the little free trade bills passed by the house. They weut to the finance com mittee of the senate, which, so far as can be learned, has not even considered them. It 'was sup posed that the committee would make the bills the text of a strong high tariff report, but it appears that it chose to dismiss them in contemptuous silence. Congress is probably within a week of ad journment and nothing has been heard of them yet. One reason why these bills have been neglect ed is said to be that the republi can members interested in tariff matters have been engaged for a year and a half upon a report directed by the 51st congress upon the effect of the McKinley bill on retail prices. This report is about finished, and may be submitted this week. The report will cover about sixty pages, with some 2000 printed pages of price quota tions. Its general argument is that the temporary advance of prices in 1890 was not due to the details of the bill so much as to the excitement caused by tariff agitation. It will insist that the general tendency in prices has been downward dur ing the past year, while in European countries prices have been advancing. There ought to be a deal of valuable campaign material in this report. Ore-gonian: WAGES HERE AND ABROAD. Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Steven sou both denounce the Homestead riot as an object lesson which proves the worthlessness of the protect ive tariff to American labor. Holding this view of course Mr. Cleveland ai.d Mr. Steven-on must logically favor the removal of the i present iron and stool duties, and unlimited competition between American and English workers. This repeal of the iron and steel duties would bo, wo suppose, Mr. Cleveland's idea of how' to muUo the tariff under a democratic ad ministration "a boon" to the work ingnian. What would bo the etlect of this doonM upon the wages at Homestead ? According to the Iron Ago the lowest wages paid at Homestead for a day's work of eight hours to any roller were $7.78, and the highest $19.70. The English wages of rollers aver ago about $2.50 per day of eight hours. The lowest wages paid for a day's work of eight hours to any heater was $5.S3, and the highest $9.SS. The English wages of heaters average $1. GO per day of eight hours. The pay of a blast furnace keeper has been $3.25 per day under the scale hitherto in force in the Pennsylvania mills, and $2 in England. Ladle men have received from $2.75 to $5.75 in the United States, and from $1 to $1.15 in England. Converter men are paid from $4.50 to $S.50 in the American iron works, and $1.45 in England. Hail straighteners earn $10 per day under the Amalgamated scale in America, and $1.35 in England. The lowest priced labor employed in mills running on the Amalga mated scale receives $1.50 per day. Its counterpart in England is paid G2 cents. What sort of ''boon" to labor the removal of the iron and steel duties prove to the Homestead mills, where "the hopes of toil are mocked," says Cleveland, by wages which are more than double those paid for the same work in the English mills. Corrol D. Wright, the leading" statistician of the country, says that the cost of the labor in every ton of steel ingots produced in the United States is 200 per cent, more than in En gland. Mr. Cleveland 'finds labor at Homestead receiving more than double the wages paid in foreign mills, and he proposes to repeal the iron and steel duties as "a boon" to "hopeless toil that is mocked" by the receipt of the highest wages paid in the world. Mr. Cleveland, because American labor at Homestead is suffering slightly from internal competition, because over production has caused a slight reduction of wages, of these workmen by opening their market to the competition of En glish and Belgian mills. And this is Mr. Cleveland's "boon" to American labor; he finds him suf fering transiently from over-production, and he proposes to relieve him by forcing him to permanently suffer from ioreign competition, too. This is a good deal like propos ing to relieving a man from the annoyance of musquito bite by burning- him with a red-hot iron. This kind of stupidity on the part of Cleveland is worthy of a man who persists in saying "the tariff is a tax." The free trade press is fearfully given to tying. The latest instance is the assertion, in the discussion of the Homestead affair, that strikes are more frequent in iron manufacturing than in any other branch of business. The Phila delphia Press publishes the record for six years, showing that the total number of strikes in the United States in that time was 22,304. Of these, only 1,570 were in the manufacture of all metals and all kinds of metallic goods. In the 1,570 strikes, only 857 succeed ed; 152 partly succeeded, and 152 failed. These strikes cost the men $12,814,218 of $51,814,823 lost on strikes by labor during this period; and employes $4,885,071 of the $30,701,553 sacrificed by capital. In duration and in the number of men, these strikes were, how ever, only one tenth of the total for the country. In point of fact, the greatest strikes this country has seen have been on the railroads. BUY YOUR WARRANTED.

Wo itnd the following in the! New York World above the signa ture "A Member of t lie Democratic County Committee:" Knowing that The World is just now in search of the truth regard ing tho great question. "Can Cleveland carry New York?" a few observations are hereby sub mitted by a democrat desirous of party success. The fact that the state orgamza tion would be loyal to Cleveland does not settle the question. The members of tho state comrrff tee, even if enthusiastic for the ex president when of course they are not could not save the state for him if a sufficient number of democratic voters refused to go to the polls and cast their ballots. This statement needs no demon stration, so the question resolves itself into one. Would democrats refuse to vote lor Cleveland to such an extent as to bring about his defeat? The writer sincerely believes that they would, and for that reason earnestly opposes the nomination of Cleveland as in the highest degree disastrous to the democratic party. From four years of careful ob servation and mingling among the democratic voters of Northern New York I have found that the following classes will, with a few exceptions, refuse to support or vote for Mr. Cleveland: 1. The old soldiers. 2. The Irish Catholics. 3. The Hill men, whose party spirit cannot overcome the indig nation they feel at the offensive arrogance and abuse of the mug wump supporters of Cleveland. 4. The iron and ore companies, with their employes, and I he wool-growers, who believe, rightly or wrongly, that Mr. Cleveland's tariff policy would be detrimental to their business interests. In Clinton county the writer can name a score of men, sup porters of Senator Hill, who have become so disgusted and indignant at the persistent abuse and arrog ant assumptions of the Cleveland mugwumps that under no con sideration would they vote for Grover Cleveland. In the contingency of his nomi nation they would consider it a party duty to rid it of the mug wump incubus by defeating their candidate. These leaders will loyally sup port the nominee of the Chicago convention, but with Cleveland as the candidate they will be pow erless to control the rank and file. Organization can do a good deal, but it cannot plot out the deep resentment of the Hill democrats against the mugwump partisans ot Cleveland, who for some years have hounded Senator David B. Hill and capped the climax by the insult of the Syracuse convention and a separate state organization. Vith the situation in New York fully explained the party cannot fail to make a wise and strong nomination. CRIMINAL STATISTICS. Facts, as a rule are not more op posed to poetry than are statistics to.the generally accepted theories of mankind. There is scarcely a subject in social science on which the evidence of carefully collected statistics has not contradicted some long-established theory. Men used to believe that the gloomy weather of winter had a tendency to increase the number of suicides until figures were collected which show ed that in all lands the greater num ber of suicides in any one year oc curred in the balmy and beautiful spring. Men once believed that death and taxes were, surer and more certain in their coming than anything else, until the statisticians Because their Trees have taken first prize wherever exhibited. 208 and counted up and proved that the rate"of criminal offences was more regular among civilized nations than the death rate itself. The re cently published criminal stalistics for 1S90. issued by the Wardens Associations of the United States and Canada, overthrow two more generally accepted doctrines. One of these is the belief that education has a tendency to diminish crime, and the other is the doctrine that persons engaged in agriculture are freer from criminal propensities than any other class of people. The percentages given in the compilation show that among white criminals only about 10 per cent, are illiterate, and among negroes only 19.30 per cent. The classifi cation in regard to the trades an d occupations of criminals show that while the percentage of persons engaged in agriculture in 18S0wa--44.19 per cent of the whole popu lation, the number of persons en gaged in agriculture who were convicted of penitentiary offences was 15.27 per cent. On the other hand the percentage of persons en gaged in mining, manufacturing and mechanical trades was 22.0(5 per cent of the whole population, while the percentage of such per sons convicted of crime was but 6.55 per cent. That is to say that while the agricultural population of the country is hardly double that engaged in mines, manufacturing and mechanics, the criminal pop ulation drawn from it is nearly two and half times as great. It is, how ever, from the class of citizens known as "professional and per sonal," which includes all the learned professions and waiters, j barbers and body servants, that the largest percentage of criminals is recruited. These people constitute only 23.02 per cent of the popula tion and produce 72.09 per cent of the criminals of the country. Other statistics of interest in the record are the showings that out of 9,632 male criminals 6,691 had never been married, and out of the total of 9,859 criminals only 227 were women. Homestead has a population of nearly 8,000' of whom over 3,000 are men over 21 years old; yet at last fall's state election it cast only a few more than 809 votes. This is because the bulk of its males are unnaturalized foreign. This is a fact worth pondering.
