_ ders, PSRIRST THE TRANSCRIPT. _ SATURDAY.. . OCT. “1, 1898, Published eve: ry evening except Sumlays and L Legal Hol ays by BROWN & CALKINS. N. P, BROWN. L. 8. CALKINS, t A NEW THEORIST. Now comes a new theorist whom the Democrats have named for Governor of . this State, says the Stockton Independent, and declares that the proper theory: of taxation is to levy it all on land. He would overturn all our settled convivtions and reverse the conditions which centuries have taught are essential to progress, prosperity, enlightenment and happiness. Mr. Maguire and his followers would come into San Joaquin county and take off the assessments that Mr. Ortman has put on. the water company, the telegraph companies, the Sunset Company, the electric company, the gas companies and the banks, and spread this burden over the land. The rich man who has built a $20,000 residence and furnishes it at a cost of $10,000 would be relieved of taxation except on the lot where the house stands, and the workingman who under present conditions has managed to secure possession of a building lot to hold until he is enabled to build a home will pay as much on thatas does the millionaire on his palatial residence. It rests with the people this fall to decide. whether the Maguire theory of taxa‘ ion is the correct one, That is the issue. It is one that truly involves the corporations. It will decide whether the rolling stock of the railroads shall roll without contributing to the treasury of the State. om GREATER GRASS VALLEY. No higher compliment was ever paid to a resident of the county than that _ bestowed by the citizens of Grass Valley when with one voice and regardless of political or other affiliations they decided to make Charles E. Clinch the next Mayor of that city. They naturally recognize in him an enter: prising, progressive and unselfish man of marked executive ability—such a man as will prove atypical leader in advancing in every way the welfare of their growingand thrifty community. They are thoroughly imbued with a determination to better their condition by the adoption of a needed sewerage system, the improvement of their streets, ete as is evidenced by the fact that they are setting aside all considerations that stand in the way of achieving these much desired results. On the first of November the Transcript will cease to furnish the San Francisco Daily Balletin on a clubbing basis. We have found the undertaking unprofitable for the reason that some of the subscribers to the combination have failed to pay their subscription promptly, which is made doubly annoying from the fact that we have been offering the Bulletin at its net cost price. : 4 7 Weather of the, Week. Rain has fallen’ Piviee the week in nearly every section of the State north of the Tehachapai, thé heaviest precipitation being in Tulare county; the rainfall averaged about one-fourth of an inch in the Sacramento valley, and fully one inch in San Joaquin valley. But very little damage is reported, except to raisins on trays. Oranges and lemons are making favorable progress in the Sacramento valley and Southern California. Prunes are above _ the average in some por.ions of the coast and bay sections, but elsewhere the yield is small. Plowing will be commenced at once in the San Joaquin valley. eo What's In the Wind? It is very quietly rumored that the Democrats and Populists of this county are holding ;secret meetings for the purpose of a fusion on some of the offices, aud that an understanding will be reached in the course of ten days. It was generally believed that a fusion was impossible considering the feeling existing between the two parties, but it seems not, if ramor can be relied upon. eee 0 A Very Surprised Man. It, was a surprised man who went into Hibbitt’s, the Tailor Store on Pine street, yesterday and saw him opeping up bolt after bolt of New Woolens for the Fall trade, and when Hibbiti quoted .the low prices for suits and pants be was more surprised. But when he was told they were bought for Spot Cash he was not surprised at the low prices, as be was a business man and knows the differeuce between buying on credit and buying for cash.

An authority states that the average time consumed in buring a foot of fuse for blasting is thirty seconds§ Heretofore one minute was supposed to be the average. The big pipe in the Manzanita diggings, which used to furnish water for the monitors in days gone by, is being removed to the Texas mine. This pipe was laid about thirty-five. years ago, but much of it is in good condition still. + ee —__— Gold Yield Curtailed.

Last night Constable Dillon arrested W.H. Charles for indecent exposure, and the accused has demanded’ a change of venue from Justice Holbrook’s to Justice Mulloy’s court. The same officer today arrested Wyatt Huffman who is charged by Nightwatchman Kilroy with mins threats to kill. —+-e@eA youna bachelor, who was beset by a sewing machine agent, told the latter that his machine would not answer the purpose. “Why,” said the agent, with voluble praise, “it is‘the best on the market in every respect.” “fhat may. be,” replied the supposed customer; “but the sewing machine Iam looking for must have flaxen hair.and blue eyes, ” oe Somewnat singular to relate, the investigation of the War Department has begun without the editor of the New York Journal offering to relieve the Com nissioners of the duties involved. rangements will be made.and the tele-{ perintendent of Schools, is one of the He 1s. a thorAn Honest Inflation of Currency. Most schemes for inflating the eur-. Tency of the cduntry are dishonest. . They seek by law to make bad sfénoy good, a thing that thousands of attempts throughout human history have never yet been able to accomplish; but there is a sort of inflation of the circnlating médium that is honest and productive of good, not evil results. It is found in @:e preservation of a favorable balance of trade. Take, for instance, the fiscal year ending June 80, 1898. During that year the United States sod to the world $60,000,000 more. goods than it bought from the world, receiving that d-fference in credits, securities, or! cash—all having acirculating value on change—to go into the channels of trade and_make times he‘ter, as they are better wherever not af cied with drouth. . This is a point worth thinking over by all those who beteve that there is not money enourh among the people. Why, if the mints had been started at the free coinage of silver as the Bryanites demanded, they could not by this time have added half ‘so much: to-the monetary circulation of our country as has this favorable balance of trade under a Repub ican tariff policy. Bonds vs. Greenbacks. Much ado is sought to be made by the conglomeration party because the administration at Washington decided to issue bonds rather than greenbacks with which to carry on the war. Impartial reader, do you know what the greenbacks outstanding have been ‘used for habitually? They have been used as a pump to pump interest-bearing bonds out of the treasury. The method was this: Take the legal tenders tothe treasury and” demand gold for them, take the gold home and put in the vault, so depleting the Government’s stock of gold. as to. necessitate an issue of bonds under the law of (875. ‘Ihen bring out the gold and buy he bonds. During Cleveland’s last ulministration $262,000,009 in bonds were feresd out in just that way, and our administration wisely concluded to put the bonds in the hands of the people and keep more endies: chain greenbacks out of the hands of Wail street speculators to be used in forcing bond issues in time of peace. There you have it in a nutshell, and who shall ‘The mines} say that the administration did not do wisely? Free Silver Not an ‘Issue. The Sniaeelent free coinage of silver is not and cannot be wade an issue in this campaign, and for a variety of reasons, any one of which wou'd be all sufficient In the first place the people are tired of the issue and will not listen with patience to hear it discussed. The subject has been worn threadbare. Two years ago knots of men gathered in hotel lobbies and on street corners to discuss silver. ‘To-day knots of men s0 gathered are discussing single tax and territorial expans’on, but not silver. : People were told that low prices of products were caused by demonetiza= tion of silver, but they saw that when there was a demand for products such products advanced readily in price and there was an abundance of money to buy with. The inflow of gold to this country and the national treasury, the paying of it out by the government in regular course of business and’ the easy condition of the finances throughout the nation, have convinced the people that ‘there was nothing of merit in the cry of 96 to open the mints of the pauper produced silverof Latin America, and to that ery they now turn a deaf ear. Let. those talk free silver who have nothing better to do, for they will bé firing blank carfridzes at blank faces. As for Republicans, they have burning issues to talk about: A progressive forthe post and dragging it a short. dis-. eign policy, the rehabilitation of our merchant marine, wise territorial expausion, good government in nation, state and other bodies politic and corporate. Let the dead politicians bury their dead issnes. —L.ve men have no time for discussing dead issues. The Essence of Sandlotism. Complaint is made that, because Rgpublicans charge that Maguire began his career as a sandlotter, they are also, by implication, charging that-he is an anarchist. and an enemy to society. This: is beeause the complainants do not themselves understand the essence “of sandtotisn.~ did not really wish.to abolish all government, destrvy all. property rights and inaugurate a reigh.of chaos and disorder. Their }urpose, if madmen may be said to have a purpose, was to right wrongs; but the meithodswhich they suggested for righting wrongs would assurediy have resulted in 9 reign of political chaos. So with Mr. Maguire. In his heart he means well Fenough, but being a shallow man he is tatried off bie feet by every sounding a disciple of Henry George, Mr. George wrote like a hurricane. He was a master of rhetorical eloquence, but his productions could not withstand the test of keen’ analysis jr sober r.flection. Mr. Maguire was carried away with the rush of the words of Gvorge and had no skill to detect his fallacies. That is because he is essentially a shallow man, a man of impulses and desires, but not of reflection and judgment, As the sandlotters were men of feeling and not of thought, so Maguire was a sandlotter and found kindred spirits there. If his spirit is less maliguant than that of other sandlotters his teachings are not leas dangerous. . —_———The Sand‘otters of 78 phrase. It was this which made him. Davo ‘Exmeson was arrested and sent, to Onondago, (N. Y.) penitentiary as a’ vagrant, some time ago, but eséaped . ” soon after with several companions. He was not found until last week, whep he turned up at. Oneida wearing the United States uniform, having served through the Santiago campaign. But his war record and enfeebled condition did not save him and he was handcuffed and taken back to the Sonal to serve out his sentence. : Oe Oe THERE are no “professional jarors” in Mexico, Nine of a man’s péers try him, and a /majority is a verdict. . If the nine unanimous there is no appeal. To/serve on a jury one must have a diploma in law, medicine or some other profession, or an income of $100 per month, or he must be a member of a family whose head has an income of $2000. year. An astute Webesalce giline: who has been “doing” politics, has this to say: “We have met. several who blame a newspaper for having defeated them for office, but we have yet to find the first man to admit that a newspaper elected him to office.” oe “Qur new spectacular performance didn’t seem to be understood until we got to Boston,” remarked the manager. “Naturally enough,” asserted the newspaper man. “They always see through spectacles in Boston.” Ra cult erence wad Wire—John, is it true that Kou invited our cook’s soldier-lover to my birthday dinner? Husband—Certainly. I/did not want him to get the best morsels of every dish. / “Three from two you can’t,” says the schoolboy. Right! Three from two you can’t, either in dollars or dividends or sarsaparilla. It takes the best sarsaparilla root to make the best sarsaparilla extract. The best sarsaparilla comes from Honduras, C. A., and the Dr. Ayer Co. practically controls the entire product. Yet others claim to be making “best” sarsaparilla. They must be making it out of the remainder left after subtracting three from two. But, “three’from two you can’t.” Youcan’t make the best sarsaparilla without best root.You only get the best when you cel Ayer’s Sarsaparilia which is made wholly from the best root imported from Honduras.

Most schemes for inflating the eur-. Tency of the cduntry are dishonest. . They seek by law to make bad sfénoy good, a thing that thousands of attempts throughout human history have never yet been able to accomplish; but there is a sort of inflation of the circnlating médium that is honest and productive of good, not evil results. It is found in @:e preservation of a favorable balance of trade. Take, for instance, the fiscal year ending June 80, 1898. During that year the United States sod to the world $60,000,000 more. goods than it bought from the world, receiving that d-fference in credits, securities, or! cash—all having acirculating value on change—to go into the channels of trade and_make times he‘ter, as they are better wherever not af cied with drouth. . This is a point worth thinking over by all those who beteve that there is not money enourh among the people. Why, if the mints had been started at the free coinage of silver as the Bryanites demanded, they could not by this time have added half ‘so much: to-the monetary circulation of our country as has this favorable balance of trade under a Repub ican tariff policy. Bonds vs. Greenbacks. Much ado is sought to be made by the conglomeration party because the administration at Washington decided to issue bonds rather than greenbacks with which to carry on the war. Impartial reader, do you know what the greenbacks outstanding have been ‘used for habitually? They have been used as a pump to pump interest-bearing bonds out of the treasury. The method was this: Take the legal tenders tothe treasury and” demand gold for them, take the gold home and put in the vault, so depleting the Government’s stock of gold. as to. necessitate an issue of bonds under the law of (875. ‘Ihen bring out the gold and buy he bonds. During Cleveland’s last ulministration $262,000,009 in bonds were feresd out in just that way, and our administration wisely concluded to put the bonds in the hands of the people and keep more endies: chain greenbacks out of the hands of Wail street speculators to be used in forcing bond issues in time of peace. There you have it in a nutshell, and who shall ‘The mines} say that the administration did not do wisely? Free Silver Not an ‘Issue. The Sniaeelent free coinage of silver is not and cannot be wade an issue in this campaign, and for a variety of reasons, any one of which wou'd be all sufficient In the first place the people are tired of the issue and will not listen with patience to hear it discussed. The subject has been worn threadbare. Two years ago knots of men gathered in hotel lobbies and on street corners to discuss silver. ‘To-day knots of men s0 gathered are discussing single tax and territorial expans’on, but not silver. : People were told that low prices of products were caused by demonetiza= tion of silver, but they saw that when there was a demand for products such products advanced readily in price and there was an abundance of money to buy with. The inflow of gold to this country and the national treasury, the paying of it out by the government in regular course of business and’ the easy condition of the finances throughout the nation, have convinced the people that ‘there was nothing of merit in the cry of 96 to open the mints of the pauper produced silverof Latin America, and to that ery they now turn a deaf ear. Let. those talk free silver who have nothing better to do, for they will bé firing blank carfridzes at blank faces. As for Republicans, they have burning issues to talk about: A progressive forthe post and dragging it a short. dis-. eign policy, the rehabilitation of our merchant marine, wise territorial expausion, good government in nation, state and other bodies politic and corporate. Let the dead politicians bury their dead issnes. —L.ve men have no time for discussing dead issues. The Essence of Sandlotism. Complaint is made that, because Rgpublicans charge that Maguire began his career as a sandlotter, they are also, by implication, charging that-he is an anarchist. and an enemy to society. This: is beeause the complainants do not themselves understand the essence “of sandtotisn.~ did not really wish.to abolish all government, destrvy all. property rights and inaugurate a reigh.of chaos and disorder. Their }urpose, if madmen may be said to have a purpose, was to right wrongs; but the meithodswhich they suggested for righting wrongs would assurediy have resulted in 9 reign of political chaos. So with Mr. Maguire. In his heart he means well Fenough, but being a shallow man he is tatried off bie feet by every sounding a disciple of Henry George, Mr. George wrote like a hurricane. He was a master of rhetorical eloquence, but his productions could not withstand the test of keen’ analysis jr sober r.flection. Mr. Maguire was carried away with the rush of the words of Gvorge and had no skill to detect his fallacies. That is because he is essentially a shallow man, a man of impulses and desires, but not of reflection and judgment, As the sandlotters were men of feeling and not of thought, so Maguire was a sandlotter and found kindred spirits there. If his spirit is less maliguant than that of other sandlotters his teachings are not leas dangerous. . —_———The Sand‘otters of 78 phrase. It was this which made him. Davo ‘Exmeson was arrested and sent, to Onondago, (N. Y.) penitentiary as a’ vagrant, some time ago, but eséaped . ” soon after with several companions. He was not found until last week, whep he turned up at. Oneida wearing the United States uniform, having served

through the Santiago campaign. But his war record and enfeebled condition did not save him and he was handcuffed and taken back to the Sonal to serve out his sentence. : Oe Oe THERE are no “professional jarors” in Mexico, Nine of a man’s péers try him, and a /majority is a verdict. .

An astute Webesalce giline: who has been “doing” politics, has this to say: “We have met. several who blame a newspaper for having defeated them for office, but we have yet to find the first man to admit that a newspaper elected him to office.” oe “Qur new spectacular performance didn’t seem to be understood until we got to Boston,” remarked the manager. “Naturally enough,” asserted the newspaper man. “They always see through spectacles in Boston.” Ra cult erence wad Wire—John, is it true that Kou invited our cook’s soldier-lover to my birthday dinner? Husband—Certainly. I/did not want him to get the best morsels of every dish. / “Three from two you can’t,” says the schoolboy. Right! Three from two you can’t, either in dollars or dividends or sarsaparilla. It takes the best sarsaparilla root to make the best sarsaparilla extract. The best sarsaparilla comes from Honduras, C. A., and the Dr. Ayer Co. practically controls the entire product. Yet others claim to be making “best” sarsaparilla. They must be making it out of the remainder left after subtracting three from two. But, “three’from two you can’t.” Youcan’t make the best sarsaparilla without best root.You only get the best when you cel Ayer’s Sarsaparilia which is made wholly from the best root imported from Honduras.
