On Account of His Big Barrel.

Of tbo nomination of Mr. Morton httl© need be said. Ho is an ambitious rich nan, and he was.nominated on account of the size of his pile. The boys will take off their coats for him, and they will have something to carry them through the cold spell, whether the ticket is elected or not. If wo comd offer him any advice, we should say that he hM best tear in mind Jay Gould's $50,000, and pay no money to anybody except the chairman of tho national committee.—New York Evening Post.

Haw California Lsbown Are By the last census there were 376,9 pffraens engaged in all kinds of occnpff tious hi California. Of three 348.000 wew In unprotected Industries, 14,500 in protected industries and 14,025 in occupations not described with enough denniteness to *e classified. There wet* twenty-four times - as many unprotected workers as there were “protected” one*, and evdß allowing all the doubtful ones to the protected column, the excess wafl still moire than twelve to one. * 1 It Is a very moderate statement to sag that to nineteen out of every tuuda workmen in California the tariff ift p®* a burden—that it does not even prtww? to give them any direct benefits in ex change for Its exactions.

You And your living expenses a fourth higher that! thepr would be if you Were not “protected. ’ But ho-.v is ft on tho other side? If you compare your wages with those of people In other occupations, you wtu find it an invariable rulo that the lowest are in protected Industrie The one man for whose banoflt we a?o told the whole tremendous tariff system exists gets less than the nineteen who arb taxed,,along with himself, to keen his wages up. Yon may find a partial explanation*! this circumstance, so far as C&liform concerned, by referring to the local columns of today’s Examiner. There you will see that tho “protected A moncan ™ r ” of 8,111 Francisco Is mostly Chinese. The protected industries are the great employers of Chinese labor.—San Francisco Examiner.
