Hox. CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS, of Indianapolis, has recently returned from a trip throught Europe. In an interview with the New York Tribune he said in speaking of Englaud *and her industries "I founi that many factories which uuder the operations of the McKinley bill had been forced to close, were now, thanks to the operations of the Gorman tariff law, running full blast. This is the strongest argument in favor of protection that I I know of. By our own act we closed prosI pevous factories in this country and transferred our prosperity to build up the wauing industries of England." People who

have either lived. or visited in England know why that country advocates free trade or a very !oiv tarilT for the United States. Such a policy is better for England and her factories but it is ruinous to til-? United States.

Workinguv-iu, farmer, business man, mechanic iu ict every American 'citizen should we not- rather favor a policy that builds up factories and price.-, in America rather than in |Europe. The tariff is s¥*li a political question and don't you forger, it.

SUTKO AND HIS WORK

THE PICTURESQUE AND PLUCKY MAYOR Of SAN FRANCISCO.

He Tells Edith Sessions Tupper About His

Fight With the Southern Pacific Railroad—The Cliff House and the Baths. His Views on Woman Suffrage. [Special Correspondence.] SAX FRA'-CISCO, Aug. 28.— Possibly the most picturesque figure in San Francisco today is its inayov, Hon. Adolph Sutro. He looks like a iBcdonin of the desert, with his swarthy complexion, piercing black e.vcs and snowy hair. He only needs the folds of a gay burnoose an'd tho white turban swathed about his forehead to make the resemblance complete. He has some-what-of the Arab in his temperament, too, especially when it comes to fighting, for ho makes war directly, aggressively and brilliantly, even as the sons of the desert go swooping down upon their enemies. Sutro "became mayor of this city through a hot fight with one of the most audacious and grasping monopolies in the country. He is essentially the friend of the people. He fought for their rights and was rewarded by the gift of the highest office in the municipality.

Mr. Sutro is popularly called a Jew. Ht is a German, born at Aix-ia-Chapelle. In the early fifties he came to California and built up a fortune in rade. His great strike, however, was in the Comstock mines and the famous Sutro tunnel, from which he cleared over ?ri,fi00.0'.!(). which he invested in San Francisco property. Ho now owns tho entire ocean front of this city and over 2.000 acres of the suburban lands that lio between tho ocean and ike improved districts. lie owns i-he House, a ma^niiieent voadhouse, now building to replace the one which was burned, and a-'l the land about it. peal reek-.*, everything. Ar.d above this region is his ownexiensiveesta?e, Suiro Heights, v, V'.o ho lives in princely ease and luxuiy.

The Sutro Raths.

For years Mr. Surro's ambition has been to make the Cliff House not only the best on the Pacii' o_coast, but (me of ihe most famous in the world. He has thrown open his private grounds to the public and per-mit-s free access to them at any time. Five years ago he began what arc now the lavgest and finest public baths in the world. The Sutro baths exceed the famous Roman baths of antiquity in si as well as in equipment. Tho largest of tho ancient Roman baths had only 200 feet frontage. I The Sutro baths are 800 feet long, i'ho building is of iron and glass. Sutro is a finished and practical engineer, and no Ji

He designed the building over tho bath, plans for water supply and invented and patented the apparatus for heating the water. In this scheme of construction Mr. Sutro used the second series of his tunnels. Finding the ocean at hand, the breakers dashing upon the rocks, this clever engineer decided that as nature had provided power sufficient to send tho water to the tanks lie would waste no force on artificial means. Accordingly a huge basin was blasted out of the solid rock. Right over the edge of this basin comes the water of the huge rolling billows of tho Pacific. Now, instead of riding the crest of the wave, Mr. Sutro traps and snares it and turns it to his own purpose. From this basin by tunnels and canals the water flows to the reservoir, where it is warmed by a patent process, and then it flows into the vast tanks in the building. By an ingenious automatie device tho water is cleared of i-(»meniber that they are women, sand, as it would not do to have the waves carry their load into tho baths. A settling place is provided, tho sand is washed back into the ocean, and the clear water goes on its way through tunnels to the tanks.

In case the tide is very low and the water cannot dash it-self over tho rock wall into the basin, an emergency pipo lias been constructed which will draw 5,000 gallons a minute whenever it is necessary.

Tunnels and Tanks.

Not satisfied with all these various constructions, these canals and pipes-and tunnels, Mr. Sutro devised an outlet pipo tu send the water back to sea several hundred feet from where it was taken,' in order that the water might not be used over and over. The tunnels for this pipo are several hundred feet long.

Theno are six tanks in the baths. The main swimming tank is 275 feet long and 150 feet wide. The other tanks are smaller. One is filled with cold salt water fur those who wish a bracer. Some are for beginners, others for ladies and children. Thero is one little tank of fresh water, supplied from waterworks above on Sutro Heights. Every dressing room is provided with a fresh water shower and an electric light. Then there aro tiers upon tiers of clubrooms for bathors.

The building itself is one of great beauty. Elevators and grand staircases afford communication from one tier to another. Stairways and halls are filled with statuary and palms and tropical plants. There is a museum crowded with curios, which Mr. Sutro has brought from the four corners of the globe. There are three restaurants and an aquarium and conservatory. The lofty spanned roof, that is more than two acres in extent, gives an effect of space and grandeur simply indescribable. About the bathing tanks are seats for over 5,000 jieople, with ample room for 15,000 more to promenade. At the ocean end of the tank is a vast stago on which free concerts are given every Sunday. There is absolutely nothing forgotten in this spacious building erected by tho en-gineer-mayor of this city at a cost of $1,000,000 to teach his people that cleanliness is next to godliness

Mayor Sutro's Library.

This is only one thing wh# Mr. Sutro has done for San Francisco. He has a library of 250,000 volumes, which lie Intends to give the city. At present these Volumes, many of the rarest and most preSious books to be secured for love or monty, are stored in his down town offices,

but it is the mayor's intontion to build a suitable receptacle for them in time and to bestow the library upon the city.

My meeting with Mr. Sutro was-singu-larly agreeable. I missed him at the city hall, but a brisk conversation through the telephone made up for the disappointment. His private secretary entertained me until his honor's carriage was seen coming up the street. Then through deVious and winding staircases I was conducted tD the city hall's "family entrance,*" where in a little I courtyard, walking up and dpwn awaiting me, was the mayor of this big town. Mr. Sutro, though nearly 80 years old, is as particular about his dress as any young I blood, and certainly, ,in his pearly gray slouch hat, his biscuit colored topcoat, his terra cotta gloves and irreproachable business suit, was as fine looking a man as one I could see on Fifth avenue or down in the

Stock Exchange in Wall street. I Kindly expressing the pleasure ho felt at renewing a former acquaintance, ho.assisted me into his carriage, and we'turned toward his house on SuJro Heights, where

I was to dine with him. Wo stopped at the baths, where with just pride in his great achievement he pointed out the various I features of the place. Then after a look at the seals and the Cliff House we turned into his private grounds and drove up to his house, a quaint, picturesque, rambling sort of a building, i'uil 'of odd nook's and corners, every room commanding superb views of the ocean tumbling almost at its doors. Mr. Sutro's o\^»apartmcnt reminds one of a,ship's cabin. One side-is all of glass, and here stands an immense collection of spyglasses, through which the mayor never tires of watching the ocfean.

The dining room is.below, and as one goes down the .stairs, which look out- upon the Pacific, one is again impressed with the idea- that he is aboard ship and going down to the saloon. The ni :yoi* has a large family, four da,ughters and two eons. He is quite a patriarchal figure as ho sits a-fc his board. He is a connoisseur of wines and a delightfully en.erla-iiiing host.

The lliiils'oud FigiVt.

"Mi*. Suii'o, tell mo about ycur fight With tho Souther Pacific road," I asked. "It was over the fare to tho beach and Cliff House, you know," replied Mr. Sutro. "I wanted tin? road to charge, only a single faro where they were charging two r. cent far-ns. Mr. Co!]is Huntington sat right where you are sitting now when I said to him: 'Mr. Huntington, the Southern I'ach'ic road ought not to tax the people but

cents to come out to tho beach.

I ask you now to reduce the fare.' Mr. Huntington smiled and« refused. 'Very well,' I f- aid, 'then I shalfright you.' Wo were pleasant and friendly enough over it, but from that hour I began' warfare. And I never ceased until the railroad gave in." "What were your tactic.- :.'

The election of this brilliant and courtly old German as mayor of perhaps tho most cosmopolitan city in the llnited States was a, warning from the people to the monopolists. His victory was a revolt against grasping corporations. It demonstrates conclusively that, the people, the long Buffering people, possess tho strongest possible weapons and will use them when pushed too far to t.lie wall.

Then I fought them in Washington, where I raahl meet them on their own- ground. I. had thousands of pamphlets printed at my own expense, 'How Members of .Congress Are Bought,' and circulated not ou!y in Washington, but at- tho homes oft he congressmen. This produced a very good effect. I raked up tho entire history of the Southern Pacific, which no one knew !letter than I, as I had spent ten years in Washington. I demonstrated to tho satisfaction of everybody that, the railroad wished to get cofitrol of the beach and the Cliff House that it might- have the monopoly of this resort, as it has of tho Yosemito and Del Monte. Well, my battle for the rights of tho people made me mayor. The old party "leaders tried every combination against me, but without success. Three days before election the Southern Pacific announced that after Nov. 11 a single ticket would carry anyone from the ferries to the beach. The railroad managers fully expected this would take the ground from under me, but they argued from a false standpoint. On the contrary, this concession elected" me mayor.''
