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.

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.
