THE ONLY QUESTION. I The people nre beginning to realize the iportance of tlie issues that will bedeclded at the coming Presidential election, fter so many vents of discussion the veretthe people will pass on the protective ilicv next year will stand for a period. If the Democrats succeed they will repeal the esent tariff and give us one on tariff for revenue only lines.

Our Oakland correwndent states the question quite forcibly in the following: In my earl; training I was told that Hie Democtalic party was and would forever be lhe best illtical friend to the people of ibe United Stateslien mo war ernie I was a Democrat My iiu ies cost me both my fortune mid Mends, 1 remained In Ibeir lanks, worked lor the success ol ibe old pany, attended conventions, elc, lor twenty-live years. Finally we elected Mi Cleveland President. I watched bis administrailou, as he voiced Hie Democratic party, wiih unusual (merest, and I was obliged to acknowledge that my political education had ail been wrong. I voted lor Mr. Cleveland when he was elected, and I voted against lni when he was defeated, and tlie following are some of my reasons lur doing It: I was thoroughly convinced that protection for Ameilcan labor was a nece-siiy Die g'-neial well-tie of the people.

It Is, in fact, lie entire Question. What would cur people do wiihou; protection, until they bad learned the economy ol tne people in Europe that woik for small wages? Why they would go hungry and ragged, and lam opposed to a policy that entails such results. I don't caie what name you give a political parly, so long tils the thing that will give the people the most comfort and happiness. A government without people to defend It don't amount to much, and the question of providing labor and pay ing a just price for it has been the chief question will: the greatest statesmen of the woild for many years. and why? lv keep lieu people at borne, to keep them limn going wheie they would enjoy bettor prosperity.

I want to ask some Democratic Mate-man how the price of labor In the Untied states can be piotecied except by a laiill on manufactured goods made l-y the cheapest labor in the world? Another reason, protection places ii within the reach of every Industrious, sob-r man in lhe United Stales lo sleep In tils own house. Auoili'-r lesson, without protection the people of liis Untied Slates would woik for oneil.nd of thepilce they now get for their labor and I hey would be compelled to pay about -tilde the amount of taxes that they now pay. tine-halt of the expenses of the Government of the fulled Slates is bald Iron tariff, and it It Is not paid 1 0111 the tariff It will have to be paid by the people. Tbe Income of the Government is from iaiilf, Internal leveuue, sale of Government lands, and Us postal department, and if we lake away the amount furnished by the tariff you only have half enough left to pay lit expenses of the i.oveninieut, and lhe otber ball will have to be made up by tbe people. FISHING FOX SILVER.

A London dispatch says that considerable it genuity is being displayed to procure silver without advancing the price of the metal. Portugal requires between 7,000,000 and 8,000,000 ounces, and to get bold of this amount without disturbing the market exports of silver to India were temporarily stopped by holding the London price at a point above the price of the exchange. The dispatch says: "All arrivals of silver liitvi: been quietly picked up. and this supply running out. silver must now be taken from America." As the Government is purchasing the full output of American mines, after the necessities of the arts are provided for.

a European demand for silver will soon exhaust any surplus that may now exist in the American market. When that surplus is exhausted silver will rise in commercial value. There may be fluctuations resulting from the operations of speculators but tho upward movement cannot be long delayed. Uy this date next year there is every reason to believe that the success cf the present silver policy will be assured. With silver rising in market value steadily there will be no considerable number of people who will demand free silver coinage immediately INSAI'K BCAI'FOLDINO.

The painters of this city complain because some of the scaffolding upon which they have to work is not made secure. Lives are frequently lost from this cause, It is argued. Surely workmen are entitled to protection against injury from unsafe scaffolding, as well as from weak cordage and fastenings. Painting upon buildings is risky nt best, but it is criminal to ask workmen to risk their lives when unnecessary. A SINGULAR rEOPOSITIOK, Some of our citizens, it is said, desire to erect a crematory in the inhabited portion of the c-itr- If it be necessary to burn the bodies of deceased persons it will surely be conceded that this should be done at a considerable distance from dwellings.

The idea of placing a crematory on California street should under no circumifanccs be permitted. NEWSWrEK DISHONESTY. We referred a few days ago to the efforts which some of our newspaper contemporaries vi ere making in order to deceive the public as to their standing in the community in order to obtain patronage. We stated that the Alta- California at the time it died, from a surfeit of subsidies to some per annum, had a total daily circulation of but 2195 copies. We referred also to another paper published in San Francisco, which claimed a circulation of 43,055 copies daily, which did not circulate over five or six thousnnd copies daily.

We will now go a little farther and say. that there are two evening newspapers published In Snn Francisco, one of wliich claims a circulation of 43.055 copies daily, and another claims to circulate upward of 33,000 copies dally. Both of these papers insert their figures -at the head of their columns, making jointly a total of 70,053 copies which they wish to have the public believe they print daily, when it is probablo they do not print over seven or eight thousand copies daily. Such, it seems, is journalistic integrity in certain quarters. We publish these statements because both of these papers are continually misrepresenting other San Francisco papers.

One of these journals thinks it can make a point by urging that The (all's press is a slow concern, when, in it is the fastest press in San Francisco. It will, without much difficulty, print 25,000 copies of 'a single per hour, and there is no fast press here which can do better work. The Cai.i. suegests that the newspapers which are striving for business through falsehood should turn their attention to honest journalism. This, however, does not much concern us, for perhaps after all it is well for a community to have all kinds of newspapers so that comparisons can be made.

WATEKWAYS AMI LAXDWATS. The four-masted ship Shenandoah, which is believed to be the iasgest wooden ship in the world, sailed frt this port yesterday for Havre with 5028 tons of wheat. It has rarely happened that so large a quantity of produce lias been moved in a single vehicle. It is reckoned that a ton of wheat will feed six persons for a year. This single vessel is thus carrying to France food enough to supply 33,768 Frenchmen with food for a twelve-month.

These figures impart some humor to the schemes of the people who talk about moving the wheat crop by rail. A freight-car will hold ten tons of wheat Some large ca rs hold more, but ten tons is a fair average. An ordinary locomotive caa haul ten loaded cars over the Sierras and the Rockies. Thus it would have required 560 cars, or 56 trains of 10 cars each, to convey the wheat which this slugie ship is carrying to Havre, and so large an addition to the ordinary freight service of (he railroad could not have been distributed over a less period than ten days. Horace Greeley once demonstrated that if the Erie Canal was permanently blockaded New York and its suburbs would run some risk of suffering fiom famine, for all the railroads centering in that city could riot carry food enough to feed its pet pie even if they neglected all other business.

Yet the New York Central locomotives haul forty cars on level. The fact is a complete answer to those who expect railro; ds to supersede water transportation. Railroads can never compete with rivers or the ocean for the movement id bulky and heavy goods. They cannot carry wheat or coal or lumber in opposition to waterways. They can beat steamers in the passenger business and in the transportation of light freights, but when it comes to the great necessaries of life, food and fuel, the railroad is nowhere.

It is hard to say what would happen to mankind if by any convulsion of nature the navigation of the waters which traverse and encircle the inhabited portions of the globe should happen to cease. The subject may be looked at from a practical as well as a speculative point of view. In many portions of the world the rivers are shoaling owing to a diminution of their sources of supply. That is the case with the San Joaquin and tbe Sacramento, in this State, and more conspicuously still with the Arkansas and the Bio Grande, on the other side of the divide. On bith these last-mentioned rivers the mark of ancient beach lines indicates what mighty streams they once were, and tells the tale of their gradual drying up.

Some rivers seem to maintain their volume. There is no sign of any diminution in the flow of the St. Lawrence or the Columbia or the Snake or the Colorado. But no one can inspect the dry arroyos which furrow the face of Southern California and Arizona without being convinced that there were 'once great rivers in that region which gradually dried up from evaporation and the neglect of their sources of supply. The ruins which are found in Arizoua prove that the Gila must once have been one of the great rivers of the world and have received in its bosom the waters of large affluents.

It is not excessive heat which has dried up these rivers, for there is no diminution in the volume of the Amazon or the Congo. It is simply the denudation of the soil where their sources lie and the want of a little care in husbanding their waters. The profits of ship-building guarantee the world against a falling off In ocean navigation. So long as ship-owners make money they will always go on improving on their models and keeping the ocean waterways open. Hut the prospects of inland navigation call for public attention.

It is a matter of national importance that our rivers should net be suffered to dry up and fertile regions be forced to depend on railroads for an outlet. In connection with this matter one- half of the topics which engross the time of Congress are of trivial consequence When compared with the maintenance of the waterways which enable States to support their population. The history of many portions of the world, including North America, is a record of popular migrations, compelled by alternate inundations and periods of desiccation. There were in all probability at one lime a considerable population in Arizona, and they were driven out, not By the foreign foe, but by the gradual diminution of their water supply. What has happened once may happen again.

BECIPKOCITY WITH CUBA. A month hence practical free trade will be established between the United States an 1 Cuba and Porto Kico under the proclamation of the President bearing date on Friday. This country will admit to its markets free of duly the sugar, molasses, coffee and hides produced in the Spanish leaving the present duty on tobacco and cigars, which is retained for the value of the revenue it yields. On the other band the Spanish colonies will admit free of duty American meats, salt nud canned (jerked beef excepted), lard and tallow, fish, oats, barley, rye, starch, cotton-seed oil, hay, fruits (except raisins), vegetables, wood, coal, patroleum, wagons and sewing machines. A year from now the following articles will be added to the list of American products which will be added to the list of American products which will be admitted free of duty into Cuba and Porto Ilico: Pig iron and several manufactures of iron and steel, raw cotton and agricultural implements and machinery, including railroad machinery.

For the sake of the revenue Cuba retains duties on other articles imported from this country.but on a reduced scale. Thus there is a reduction of 50 per cent in the duties on glass, earthenware, fine manufactures of steel, including wheels and cutlery, tin-plate, furniture, bread and crackers, rubber and rice, and a reduction of 25 per cent ln the duties on refined petroleum, manufactures of cotton, rope and twine, printing paper, leather, saddlery and harness. Finally, corn is to pay 25 cents per 100 kilogrammes, say of a cent a pound, wheat 30 cents for the same quantity, say one-sixth of a cent a pound, and wheaten flour Sl, say 50 cents per cental. The chief articles of export from the United States to Cuba are flour, wheat, canned meats, lard and manufactures of leather and cotton. Consul Koosevelt, in a report filed a few years ago at the State Department, enumerated the following articles produced in the United States which would find a ready sale in Cuba if the cost were not raised by import duties: Agricultural implements, machinery for sugar-making, glass In various forms, household hardware and cutlery, mechanics' tools, cotton and woolen goods, boots and shoes, soaps, railroad supplies and sewing machines.

Most of these are now placed on the free list or are admitted at reduced rates of duty. The new market thus opened to American ptoducers is laige. Though tht population THE MORNING CALL. SAN FRANCISCO, SUNDAY. AUGUST 2.

1891-SIXTEEN PAGES. of Cuba is only 1,500,000 the island is so rich that the annual income of its inhabitants is reckoned at $80,000,000, and with a free market for its sugar and molasses it is likely to increase. At the present time tho United States imports from Cuba about 850,000,000 worth of raw produce each year, mainly sugar, molasses, tobacco and cigars. The export from the United States to Cuba is only about $11,000,000. Under the new reciprocity arrangement the exchange will be on more equal terms.

Cuba cannot well increase her shipments to this country, but we may swell our shipments to the Island very materially indeed. There is no trade between Cuba and this Coast, and the reciprocity now established will not have effect here. But the new arrangement is found to answer on the Atlantic, it will doubtless be extended to the Facific also. Tbo commercial intetcourse between San Francisco and the west coast of Mexico, Central America and South America is susceptible of extension. The peoples who inhabit the western shoreslof the two Americas need precisely the same articles which Cuba cotton goods, hardware in every shape, agricultural and domestic utensils, manufactures of glass, wood and leather, boots and shoes, petroleum, wlieaten fioui and canned meats.

It should be possible to conclude with them treat es analogous to the Spanish treaty, and so to increase the trade of this port We concluded one reciprocity treaty with Mexico, but it was rejected by the Senate, and the Mexicans evince some hauteur over the proposal to renew negotiations. With Central America we threw away our club when wo admitted coffee free; a threat to restore the duty on coffee grown in countries which will not reciprocate would probably bring the Salvadorians and Guatemalans to their senses. It will probably bo necessary to await the restoration of peace iv Chiie before anything can be done in that quarter. I'eru and Bolivia would fullow her lead. It is contrary to common sense that the people of the west coast living south of us should do their marketing in Europe, when there is as good a market at their own door.

A little effort will probably convince theui of the fact. 7 CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE. An Eastern contemporary assumes that Canadian independence would mean about the same ns Texas independence: in other words, that Canada will move toward political union with the United States on the same lines as the Lone Star State, The cases, however, have only points of resemblance. Tlie adventurers who secured the nominal independence of Texas never expected or desired to set up a national Government. Their object was to add that Territory to tlie Union.

Texas is a State, but it had neither the territory nor other resources that would warrant separate existence. There is no ground for the supposition that Canadians who have declared for independence have political union with the United Stales in view. Their country is au empire in itself. It has ports on both oceans and a population about twice as large as that of the American colonies when they declared their independence of Great Britain. If a commercial union with the United States could be effectod the provinces would get along fairly well as a separate nation.

It is said that Mercier, the leader of the French Canadians, looks for success through annexation. This may and may not be true. Mercier cannot look for a large following among the English-speaking residents of Canada. His plan of independence would be opposed because it was his. The English Canadians would not willingly join in a movement at the head of which was a French Canadian.

If the Canadian people would declare for independence with anything liko unanimity they might sustain themselves, but if independence comes through party action and is not generallyaccepted the independent Government would be weak. WHAT GOVERNMENT MAY DO. It is sometimes said that it does not make much difference which party succeeds in the United States, that the resources of the country nre so great that the people will prosper in spite of bad government. The last census taken by Great Britain throws some light upon the inlluence of government. The condition of Ireland and Scotland at the beginning of the century and their condition now show what governments may do or leave undone.

In ISOI the population of Scotland was 1,008,400. in 1890 it had increased to In the same period the population of Ireland has decreased by upward of a million. Ireland is the larger of the two countries, and its natural resources more than correspondingly greater. There does not appear any reason why the smaller and poorer of the two countries should show a handsome increase in population while the larger aud more fertile actually loses, except that one has been at peace with its Government while the other has not. It is not worth while at the present time to enter into any inquiry as to where the fault lies, whether in the disinclination of the Irish people to be governed by England or the disregard by the English Government of Ireland's wants.

The fact is conceded that the decay of Ireland is largely due to the policy the Enelish Government has pursued in its self-imposed task of governing the Irish people. EXCtI'IIISC CHINESE. The present Administration seems to be doing its best to exclude Chinese immigra- tion by enforcing the law. Tho present Administration has been the only one which has seemed desirous of excluding the Chinese. EDITOIIIAI.

NOTES. The Ohio Democrats, having lv their platform expressed the belief that the verdict of the people of that Stale will be "recorded against the Iniquitous policy of so-called protection, championed by the Itepublicau parly," the Clevolaud Leader asks what was the condition of this country before the "Iniquitous policy" was putin foice, aud for an answer quotes the declarations oi President Unch, man in his message of December 8, 1857, In which he said: "In the midst of unsurpassed plenty lv all the productions and in all the elements of national wealth, we llnd our maun fact res suspended, our public works i etarded, our private enterprises or diften-nt kinds abandoned, and thousands of useful laborers thrown out of employment and reduced to want."

The naval ordnance proving grounds at Indian Head ou Ibe Potomac, below Washington, which wero pui chased by the Government last year, have beeu pielty well arranged for the purposes of test ng the handsome weapons now being turned nut al the national capital, and the name Is likely to soon become as familiar as those of Annapolis and gaudy Hook. While the Improvements were under way, guns of all calibers up to 10 Inches were tested and ranged, and powders and projectiles received from contractors tried. There was a time when American goods, particularly textile fabrics, were regarded as of Inferior quality, but the Dry Goods Chronicle asserts that IE now requires an expert to distinguish any inherence between many lines of American and foreign goods, and even an expert cannot tell In some Instances whether the goods are made lv this country or ln Germany, France or England. Tbere were 147 suicides in Berlia during the first fortnight of July.

Ths cause of this enormous record of self-destruction Is officially attributed chiefly to drink. The Emperor's suggestions concerning Stale supervision of the healthy qualities of beverages may consequently lead to Important results.

Dixon and McCarthy HaTe Taken Leave for tbe East. A prominent member of the California Athletic Club said yesterday that the dissatisfaction among the supporters of the organization was caused by the Directors refusing to give a monthly statement to each member of the financial standing of the club, with the incidental expenses included. "If the members had been made aware monthly of how the club's funds were being disposed of," continued the speaker, "it would be enjoying prosperity to-day." The California Club will hold a very Important meeting to-morrow evening and business of more than ordinary moment to the members will be transacted. The Directors will offer Danny Needham a purse of $2000 to fight Kemmic, an Eastern pugilist with a good record, It ls quite probable that Needham will accept the purse and sign articles to fight in September or October next The Occidental Club will probably match Turuer of Stockton to light Paddy Gorman. The former has greatly retrograded within the past year or so, but if he can be induced to train properly there is no doubt but that he will give the Australian a right.

In 1868 there were 741 murders in Texas. About that time Phil Sheridan made his historic remark that if he owned li and Texas, be would rend out Texas and live in li The population of tlie State is just three times what it was in 180 S. The number of murders Inst year fell short of 400. In 1868 the sentiment was: "Eet all guilty men escape." Out of 173. indictments for murder in twenty-three counties there were eight convictions.

East year the trials for murder reached 300, and the convictions were 110. 'lexis is improving. It took a long time to get public sentiment right and to make the courts effective. Crime had a big start. But since the turning point was passed the progress toward law aud order lias been marvelous.

When John R. Hoxie came to Texas to live twenty years ago one of the first things he did lv identify himself with the country was to join a visilance committee. Mr. Iloxie Is reputed to be the largest individual tax-payer In the Stale. He is several times a millionaire.

Ills ancestors were Quakers. His training was all for peace, liut such were the conditions of society in that part of Texas to wliich be moved from Illinois that he soon found himself at the head of a volunteer organization of his neighbors to enforce morality by vigorous measures. Mr. Iloxie went down to Galveston to attend a public gathering. A community of 10,000 or 12.000 people was trying to play host to a crowd to a crowd of 40,000 or 50,000 strangers.

Mr. Iloxie was late in getting in, and the clerk of the hotel said in a somewhat dubious tone: "Mr. Hoxie, I'll have to put you in a room with Mr. Thompson of Austin." "That's all right, sir," eaiu Mr. Hoxie.

The bell-boy led the way upstairs, opened the door, and stepped back. Mr. Hoxie entered. A man sprang up in a sitting posture on bed as suddenly as if he had been on springs, dropped two revolvers, one in each hand, upon Mr. Iloxie, and glared.

"Lie down, my friend." said Mr. Hoxie, calmly; "I'm not going to trouble you. There's room enough here for Both of us." The man with the pistols apologized, with the remark that he had been suddenly aroused from sleep. And thus the millionaire of Illinois in. ulo the acquaintance of Ben Thompson of Austin.

In tiie morning Mr. iioxio arose first. He made some noise in getting around the room. In an instant Thompson was up in bed again with his trusty pistols in his hand. "Oh, lie down and finish your sleep," said Mr.

Hoxie, "I could have shot three times while you were getting ready, if I'd wanted to." Mr. Thompson explained that he had been up a good deal recently nnd his nerves were unsteady. He hoped that bis fellowguest would excuse his bad breaks. "What you want, my friend," said Mr. Hoxie, soothingly and with Quaker deliberation, "is a gin cocktail about so high," Indicating the tallest glass in use, "with plenty of orange and ice in it." Mr.

Thompson sighed and replied, "I can't get up and dress yet; I'm too shaky." "Never mind," said the millionaire, and he went down stairs, had the cocktail built under his personal supervision, and carried it back upstairs with his own hand Mr. Thompson sat up in bed without his pistols this time, and from that day till the day be died with his boots on in a Saa Antonio theater he was the friend of the Quaker vigilante. The change in Texas came, Mr. Hoxie says, like a mighty reaction. "It wasn't as It would he in the East or the North," said he.

"The decrease of criins in Texas canio about in a very short It was nut due so much to vigorous enforcement of the laws as it was to the great change in public sentiment. Our people awoke to the necessity of different Austin (Tex.) correspondence to St Louis Globe-Democrat. The shier Case. John C. Quinn, Collector of Internal Revenue, has written a letter, of which the following is a copy, in relation to a statement published about Mr.
