THE GAINS OF LABOR. Interesting Deductions from the Industrial Census Statistics. Another investigation of the condition of industries has been made by the Tariff League, and returns have been received from 2,229 establishments, employing 269,329 hands. The labor of comparison and editing has been performed by Representative Robert W. Taylor of the XVIIIth District, Ohio, and his comments in presenting the report are instructive. It will be remembered that the same organization took a census two years ago, which showed the conditions prevailing in 1895, compared with those in 1892 under the McKinley law. At that time the returns showed a decrease of nearly 30 per cent. in the employment of labor and a decrease of 264 per cent. in the amount of wages paid. The figures have never been seriously controverted or placed in doubt by any other evidence, and, in fact, they correspond singularly well with the record of exchanges through all clearing houses. The wages of labor constitute the basis of so large a share of all business done that its volume is practically controlled by their fall. The exchanges in March, 1895, were 24.4 per cent. smaller than in the same month of 1892 under the McKinley law. It is a well-known fact that the rate of wages does not rise as quickly with reviving prosperity as it falls when disaster comes. The latest industrial census taken by the Tariff League, of which the results are now made public, compares the conditions in March, 1895, seven months after the Wilson law became operative, with those in March, 1898, after seven months under the Dingley act. The 2,229 establishments reporting employed 205,580 hands in 1895, paying them in the month of March $7,079,323. But in March, 1898, the same establishments employed 269,-329 hands, and paid them $10,198,136. This showed an increase in the amount paid per month of 44.05 per cent. No Free-Trader is advised to dispute the accuracy of these figures, or their value as fairly representing the condition of industries as a whole. For the advance in all exchanges through clearing houses in March, 1898, compared with March, 1895, was 39.8 per cent. The correspondence is close enough to be convincing. The increase in number of hands employed was 32.1 per cent. When it is considered how large a proportion of the families dependent upon wages are affected in their earnings and purchases by such a change, the vast difference between prostration and prosperity may IS THE SINGLE TAX AN ISSUE. All Pretense Brushed Away and the Still Hunt Exposed. Mr. James G. Maguire and his associates declare in one breath that the single tax system is the hope of humanity, but that it is not and cannot be made an issue in this campaign. If they are sincere in the belief that the single tax is the one thing needful to make the world blessed they ought to make it an issue, and are cowardly if they do not. The Republican position is that the single tax is in issue, that the people should face that issue now, and that the exponents of that theory of taxation are trying to accomplish by stealth, by the old fashioned and often successful “still hunt” that which they dare not attempt in the open. Whether or not a clear case is made in favor of this contention, what follows will show for itself. MAGUURE’S ADVOCACY OF SINGLE TAX. On the last day of January, 1894, in the lower house in congress, an income tax amendment was under consideration, and James G. Maguire offered an amendment striking out the income tax provision and substituting a single tax amendment. On page 2547 of the congressional record he said: “I am fully aware and this house is fully aware that the purpose of my amendment is not at all limited to the trifling burden which it pursues at present to lay upon the enormous land value of this country. It is understood by you as well as by me to be the assertion of a principle which, if conceded to be sound, must ultimately transfer THE ENTIRE BURDEN OF ALL TAXATION for the purpose of supporting our federal, state, county and municipal governments from all other subjects to the value of the lands of this country, ultimately appropriating the RENTAL VALUE OF ALL LAND, exclusive and irrespective of its improvements to public use.” And at page 2552 he said: “The single tax system, being a substitute for all other forms of taxation, direct and indirect, would relieve from taxation all improvements upon lands—all personal ment abolishing the state poll tax and giving to counties and municipal corporations the right to add and change their systems of taxation whenever a majority of people of any such county or municipality shall so determine.” THE STILL HUNT EXPOSED. It has been shown in the foreground that Mr. Maguire is unequivocally favor of the single tax; that he tempted to get it engrafted upon national legislation, but failed of his pose; that he declared in favor of constitutional amendment opening a way for the single tax in California; that he prophecled that such an amendment would be submitted to the legislature; that it was submitted defeated; that it embraced a state local option plan of single tax; that the state plan was dropped from cussion for prudential reasons; that the Democratic platform unceally declares for the local op scheme under the guise of an expansion of the principle of local self-government. In the face of this evidence it is possible for any candid man to decide that the single tax is not properly issue before the people in this county. Mr. Maguire may shut his mouth if he is so minded, but we vote are counted in November that gentleman will find his son that the single tax has been enacted and that the people have been toughly “onto” his still hunt, single campaign. Mr. Tirey L. Ford. Like other nominees on the Republican ticket, Hon. Tirey L. Ford is no silver spoon in his mouth. Only advantage he possessed over playfollows was that he had more bounties than some of them, more even than others, and more native than all but a few.

On the 19th of February, 1897, a single tax amendment to the constitution of California, known as "assembly constitutional amendment number 40," was submitted and passed the assembly, evidently without the members realizing what they were voting for, but was lost in the senate, where its true nature was discovered. The substance of this amendment was as follows: "The legislature shall provide for the levying of taxes and the raising of revenue in such manner as it shall deem just." This clause removed all constitutional limitations on the legislature. A principle which, if conceived be sound, must ultimately transfer THE ENTIRE BUILDEN OF ALL TAXATION for the purpose of supporting our federal, state, county and municipal governments from all other subjects to the value of the lands of this country, ultimately appropriating the RENTAL VALUE OF ALL LAND, exclusive and irrespective of its improvements to public use." And at page 2552 he said: "The single tax system, being a substitute for all other forms of taxation, direct and indirect, would relieve from taxation all improvements upon lands—all personal property of every kind." In an article which Judge Maguire wrote for the San Francisco "Star," (Barry's paper) April 17, 1896, he said: "Believing that the taking of all ground rent for public purposes would place all citizens upon a level, I am in favor of an amendment to the constitution of California providing for raising all revenue for public purposes by a single tax on land." MAGUIRE AS A PROPHET. Having shown, what has never been denied, that Mr. Maguire is a thorough convert to the single tax theory, and having shown that he attempted to get his doctrine adopted nationally, and also that he declared that he was in favor of an amendment to the constitution of California providing for inaugurating the single tax system in this state, it only remains to be shown that he prophecied that the single tax would be an issue, and this we can also prove from his own utterances. On the 6th of November, 1896, in a letter published in the "Examiner," over his own signature, Mr. Maguire, in part, said: "Few, even of those who believe in it, realize how thoroughly and how generally the single tax idea is taking hold of the popular heart. Already the single taxers demand that practical effort be commenced immediately to force the issue into politics in California." "The legislature will be asked at its next session to submit to the voters a constitutional amendment remitting the whole question of taxation for state, county, and municipal purposes to the legislature as a first step toward the single tax. The moment that amendment is submitted the battle will be on in earnest." THE AMENDMENT WAS OFFERED. On the 19th of February, 1897, a single tax amendment to the constitution of California, known as "assembly constitutional amendment number 40," was submitted and passed the assembly, evidently without the members realizing what they were voting for, but was lost in the senate, where its true nature was discovered. The substance of this amendment was as follows: "The legislature shall provide for the levying of taxes and the raising of revenue in such manner as it shall deem just." This clause removed all constitutional limitations on the legislature. In fine, there is not a pet of or a money-made man on the R can ticket in this campaign, there be one in politics in Californi all this year he must be on the eration ticket. Could any bet swer than this to the "mas classes" wall of Maguire be ask In this state wealth is a bar than an invitation to political ment. And so it is all over the His Sympathy for Labor. Mr. James G. Maguire has manifested a great sympathy for who toll with their hands, so us, but he does not tell his hear he was a journeyman blacks E. W.

Some men who never go into vicious dissipation use up their energies just as much by overwork or late hours; and nearly all women are compelled by circumstances to use up their vital powers beyond all reason: It may be in housework; or social demands; or the bearing and rearing of children: At any rate the candle of life is too rapidly consumed. Some people need to have their natural vigor constantly reinforced in the same proportion that it is used up. They need the fortifying help of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is a powerful alternative and invigorant of the digestive functions and liver; it cleanses the blood, and makes fresh blood and healthy flesh. Nervous, debilitated women should take it in conjunction with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription which is specially designed for female weakness and nervous troubles. Mrs. Sallie Kaufman, of Virgil City, Cedar Co., Mo., writes: "I had suffered from displacement of internal organs and female weakness for one year. Had a bearing down sensation and very disagreeable feeling after my second child was born; I could be on my feet only a few minutes until he was six weeks old, then I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Favorite Prescription.' I took seven bottles in all. After taking the first bottle I felt much better. I think I am entirely cured of all my troubles. I can do all my work and am on my feet all day. I am in much better health now than I have been in four years; am fleshy and gaining strength very fast."

Dr. Pierce's great 1000-page Medical Adviser will be sent free for 21 cents; the cost of postage. The substance of this amendment was as follows: "The legislature shall provide for the levying of taxes and the raising of revenue in such manner as it shall deem just." This clause removed all constitutional limitations on the legislature relative to taxation, save the provision: "That land shall never be made exempt from taxation, except that owned by the United States, this state, or by any county, or municipal corporation within this state." The amendment then went on to provide for local option in taxation, as follows: "In case so determined by a majority of the electors of any county, or other political subdivision of the state voting thereon, taxes for local purposes may be imposed as the electors of such county, or other political subdivision, may decide. And it shall be the duty of the legislature to provide for submitting to such electors the question of regulating their local taxation under such regulations as it may prescribe." A DOUBLE HEADER It will be seen that this amendment is a double header; that it opens the way for a single tax system of state taxation, and for a single tax system of local taxation, to be adopted or rejected as local communities may determine. The amendment being refused submission by the state senate, and Mr. Maguire becoming fearful of the effect of the issue upon his candidacy for governor, it was thought best not to declare for the state single tax system in the fusion platform but, under cover of the popular faith in home rule, to declare for the local option system without fully disclosing its nature. Accordingly, the so-called Democratic platform adopted at Sacramento, Aug. 18, 1898, declared as follows: "We favor a constitutional amend- A Beautiful Present In order to further introduce ELASTIC STARCH (Flat Iron Brand), the manufacturers, J.

The circular is as follows: Office of Committee on Campaign Literature, San Francisco, Sept. 6, 1898. To the Editor—Dear Sir: The committee on campaign press literature is anxious that there should be no mistake made in this campaign. We have a hard fight, and must use caution as well as daring. We suggest that editorially you chiefly discuss Maguire's single tax views. It is true they are not a part of the Democratic platform, but it must be impressed on the voters that, having nominated Maguire, the Democracy becomes responsible for all his views. You will point out that this means that the farmers are to pay all the taxes. We suggest that you enter into no discussion of the single tax itself, as the doctrine is not well understood, and its advocates, having long studied it, are apt to have you at a disadvantage. Besides, the fallacious theory is very captivating to certain classes. Simply state all the time that the single tax mean to put all the taxes on farmers and stay with that proposition. We suggest that you appeal to the business-interests to support Mr. Gage, because he is distinctly a business interests candidate as opposed to sandlotism, anarchy, socialism, etc. Let the railroad question alone. The railroad must be kept in the background, simply because the Maguire organs mean to drag it to the front. Do not discusit it. Treat it as a dead issue. But you might point out that the single tax would take the taxes off the railroad and put them on farmers. Do not discuss the war revenue or war bonds. They are not state questions, and we see no reason to drag them into this campaign. The money question is not a state issue. We suggest that it be avoided as much as possible. When necessary to discuss it use the phrase "sound money" instead of "gold," "the gold standard," etc. It is well to point out occasionally that the Republican platform also advises bimetallism whenever an international agreement can be had. Do not be radical in discussing this question. It is far better to let it sleep. The committee urges that in your editorial column you make frequent mention of the war and its successful operation by President McKinley. The Democratic effort to make capital of the sickness and deaths in the camps should be offset by treating these stories as mere exaggerations of a partisan press. FIRST FAKE OF THE CAMPAIGN.

FRANK McLAUGHLIN, Chairman Republican state central committee. The above denial was so emphatic, and was received by the public with such hearty credence that the Maguire underground literary bureau determined to stand from under and, whether by casting lots or otherwise, the designation of a scapegoat fell upon Mr. Phil Francis of the Stockton "Mail," who, on October 6th, in the San Francisco "Examiner", confessed to being the author of the spurious circular letter, and claimed to have seat it forth as a joke, the humor of which, he complains, was not properly appreciated by the Republican committee. Most assuredly that joke was not appreciated as a joke, but was thoroughly appreciated as a disreputable and underground method of poisoning the public mind and the public press against the Republican campaign committee. Jokes of questionable character sometimes appear in the public press, but when such jokes are, as alleged by the Woodland "Democrat" (a Maguire paper), sent by letter to, presumably, Republican editors of newspapers they cease to become humorous and become criminal in intent. At all events the Republican committee has been exonerated by its enemies. The spurious document confessedly originated with a Maguireite, was published as genuine by a Maguriteite appeared in the columns of other Maguireite papers as genuine, and was only discredited by Republican editors who are not accustomed to receiving such instructions from their campaign committee, which always treats them with that degree of respect which is due men of independence and intelligence. As a matter of fact that contemplable boomerang got back to where it started from much quicker than was anticipated.

Maguire has all along manifested a great sympathy for those who toll with their hands, so he tells us, but he does not tell his hearers that was a journeyman blacksmith for six weeks after serving his apprenticeship, when he turned his back up to the anvil and forge and began to practice politics, for which he early developed a genius only equalled by his aversion to hard work. He served term in the assembly, served a term as clerk in a law office, put out his single as an attorney and practiced politics; was elected superior judge in San Francisco, and has since been in Congress, where he divided his time between talking single tax and making himself solid with the newspaper men. Figures That Do Not Lie. "In 1860 there were 1,312,000 wage earners employed in our diversified manufacturing industries. In 1870 the number had increased to 2,054,000. In 1880 they numbered 2,740,000. In 1890 there were 4,712,000. And in 1892 there were 5,300,000 hands at work. In 1860 these workers received $880,000,000 in wages, or $289 per hand. In 1890 the pay roll amounted to $2,282,000,000, equal to $485 per every man, woman and child so employed. In 1890 the wage earners of the country, under protection, had 1996 per capita, or 70 per cent more money to spend than in 1860 under free trade." Make a note of the fact, as you read, that this advancement in American industry and American wages commenced when the Republican party went into power, fell back to the danger point as soon as that party went out of power, and forged ahead again with courage as soon as ever the Republican party was returned to that power which it ought not to have lost, and did not deserve to lose. REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE, San Francisco, Oct. 3. 1898. J. H. Dungan, Woodland, Cal.: The statement in the Woodland Daily "Democrat" of Oct. 1, that the Republican state central committee issued a confidential letter giving instructions to the Republican press of the state as to the line upon which the campaign is to be conducted is as shameful, cowardly instead of "gold," "the gold standard," etc. It is well to point out occasionally that the Republican platform also advises bimetallism whenever an international agreement can be had. Do not be radical in discussing this question. It is far better to let it sleep. The committee urges that in your editorial columns you make frequent mention of the war and its successful operation by President McKinley. The Democratic effort to make capital of the sickness and deaths in the camps should be offset by treating these stories as mere exaggerations of a partisan press. Advocate the annexation of the Philippines and Nicaragua canal. In conclusion, the committee's judgment is that the Republican press in this campaign should avoid as much as it consistently can any discussion of the money question, the railroad question, or the preceding state Democratic administration, or the war taxes and the war bonds. Deal principally with the danger to the farmers if Maguire is elected and the single tax should come into vogue. Show them that railroads and corporations would escape taxation. This is especially good to offset the demoglogic attack on the principal railroad company of the state made by the Maguire Demo-Pops. Trusting that with the aid of your valuable editorial efforts the election will prove a great triumph for the party of sound money, and thus strengthen the party for the struggle with the silver fanatics two years hence, we are cordially, COMMITTEE OF CAMPAIGN LITERATURE. Upon the publication of the foregoing in the Woodland "Democrat," Mr. J. H. Dungan, editor of the Yolo "Mail," at once appealed to Hon. Frank McLaughlin, chairman of the Republican state committee, to know if the circular were genuine, and that gentleman replied in the following vigorous denial: RHEUMATISM Is caused by Uric Acid and other impurities lingering in the blood, which have not been filtered out by the Kidneys through the urine.

DeHaven, whom no man of any party will accuse of subserviency to the rich, or to corporations, in a case reported in 95 Cal., p. 520, as follows: as holding that the life of a poor man's son is less of value than that of a rich man's son."—Justice Garoutte. "The supreme court did not decide that the value of the life of a rich man's son is greater than that of a poor man's son, nor did the court decide any proposition from which that He held that the car company was responsible to the parent under the law, and he also held that the damages awarded by the jury were, under the law, excessive. In so deciding, the court followed the law as it has been expounded by all the courts in chris-tendom. Justice Van Fleet did not make the law. He only applied it. The law in such cases had been previously laid down by Justice John J. DeHaven, whom no man of any party will accuse of subserviency to the rich, or to corporations, in a case reported in 95 Cal., p. 520, as follows: "Damages in actions by a parent for the death of a child are strictly limited to an amount fully compensatory for the consequent loss of service for a period not exceeding the minority of the child." Justice Van Fleet, speaking for the court, and approved by the court, followed this rule as he could not uprightly avoid doing, in his opinion specifically stating that "there is not in this country one rule of law for the rich and a different rule for the poor." He further stated that as there was no way to prove by direct evidence what a child's earning capacity might be, the jury must resort to probabilities from which to infer the value of the earnings, and it was to illustrate this unquestioned truth that the judge said: "WHILE IN NO SENSE CONCLUSIVE, we have the right in judging of the probable character of occupation deceased would have pursued to regard, with the other circumstances surrounding him, the calling of his father since experience teaches that children do very frequently pursue the same general class of business as their parents." This is the statement upon which all the demagogic misrepresentation has been founded, and yet it is a simple truth of every day experience. Lincoln, Garfield, Grant, and thousands of other Americans whom an love to honor, were sons of poor men, but they achieved greatness long after attaining their majority, and devosing their minority to the service of their parents in such humble capacities as rail splitter, canal driver, and laborer in a tannery, occupations in no wise advanced over those followed by their parents. It is even doubtful if the rule of law laid down by Justice Van Fleet would permit a rich man to recover damages, or more than nominal damages, for the death of a son under circumstances similar to the unfortunate taking of the life of the little son of Mr. Lorin Fox, for it is within the knowledge of everyone that the sons of rich men are rarely sources of income to their parents during their minority but, on the contrary, they are sources of continuous and heavy expense in the maintenance for them of a high standard of living, and the conferring upon them of those educational and social advantages customary among wealthy people. Justice Van Fleet is an able and conscientious jurist. His decisions are respected and quoted throughout the world holding that the life of a poor man's son is less of value than that of a rich man's son."—Justice Garoutte. "The supreme court did not decide that the value of the life of a rich man's son is greater than that of a poor man's son, nor did the court decide any proposition from which that conclusion ensues, either directly or indirectly."—Garrett W. McEnnerney. "Instead of being a discrimination against the poor parent it is a rule which will operate in his favor. A rich man's son is not ordinarily a help to him under the age of majority."—Ex-Justice Van R. Patterson. What has here been said ought to be, and no doubt will be, regarded by all fair minded people as conclusive of the fact that Mr. Justice Van Fleet has been grossly maligned in relation to his decision in the Fox case, and it will be strange indeed if the effort made in certain quarters to bring undeserved reproach upon him does not react upon those in whose interest the defamation was made.
