2 POLITICAL LETTER BAG. What the "Herald's" Cor respondents Think. THETRUE DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE Tariff Reform Defended, and Repub lican Falsehoods and False Issues Laid Bare, On the edge of the battle a lot ol "voters take a shy at the Republican false posi tion, and at the Democratic truth in the following letters: Seme Nats to Crack. Editors Herald—l have seen so much in the Republican papers recently about Vrotection benefiting the laboring man that I cannot resist the temptation of asking a few questions through your worthy journal. lam a Republican as far as principles are concerned, but can not see the justice of taking every article necessary to one's comfort to fill the cof fers of a few. They say protection keeps up wages. Statistics prove that wages are higher in England than any other country in Europe, or Australia, according to the cost of living. Well then, why is it that in England wages are greater than in Italy France, Germany or Austria, and' those countries are highly protected. How can we reconcile these truths with the theory that protection keeps up the wages. People then ask if the above be true why are people in this county better off, financially, than those in England. That question is easily answered. When America is as old as England, when the former is as thickly settled us the latter; when real estate transfers are as cumbersome and ex pensive here as there; when all the great tracts of land are owned by a few here, like there; and when we have a vast army and navy to house, clothe and feed, like England, it seems to me the laborers of this country would be as poor as those of England. This much is very evident. Those who preach protection the loudest are the ones who try to re ceive their labor the cheapest. For in stances, one of the papers of our city every day, in a double-leaded editorial, cries" out: "My dear, beloved downtrod den workingmen, unless you vote for pro tection you will be compelled to work for nothing next year, and England will reign supreme over your glorious land," and to-morrow if that same journal could employ men to work for less than the regular wages, without affecting their subscription list they wonld do so. China is a highly protected country. She has built a colossal wall around her Empire to protect herself, and foreign shins cannot unload their cargoes at cer tain points unless at the mouth of a cannon, and what are wages there? Eight to fifteen cents a day. Any money taken from the people as a tax for private uses is nothing less than a robbery according to law. W. C. Wolfe. THE TAMMANY ORATOR. The Triumph of Democracy Is the True Emancipation of Labor. The Republican press have good cause of denouncement of the Tammany ora- tor. He. conspicuously among their Democratic opponents, is gifted with the genius of attack, whose resulting success, in exposure of Republican fallacies, sophistries and political fraud, is only equaled by the gracefulness with which the work is done. Under the penetrating light of his logical analysis of tbe Republican theory of Gov ernment, the shams and hypocrisies of the war tariff school of political economy and of the assumed "protection" which war taxes afford to the American wage worker, are laid bare and broadly open to the laughter and ridicule of the gen eral public. Seen through the calcium radiance of the Grady presentation of the facts of the case, the Republican orators, as evolved and developed out of and by the present campaign, present an amusingly grotesque series of political profiles. They are detected and depicted in the very act of attempting to grossly deceive and mislead the people, to falsify the record, even where that record bas been made by acknowledged Republican chiefs and leaders, and to stigmatize to day as treasonable that which yesterday they swore was loyal and patriotic. Mr. Grady illustrates in his speeches the force and persuasive power of truth. "Tell the truth" is the only legend which the Democratic party needs in this cam paign to symbolize and emblazon its way to victory in November. But Grady "tells the truth," with tbe charm and rhythm of such inimitable drollery that tbe people "hold their sides" with laugh ter, while viewing his contrasting car toons of Republicanism of 1882,1884 and 1888, and of the desperate but vain at tempt of the Republican party to appear to be that which it is not. In his atti tude of defence of tbe manhood and in telligence of American citizens of Irish extraction grossly and gratuitously in sulted, as they and the whole Irish race repeatedly are being insulted by the pal try tricks and traps Bet by Republicans to catch the supposed political sensibilities of Irish-Americans towards Great Britain, Mr. Grady administered to the whole Republican party a merited rebuke. Every American citizen claiming affinity with'the Irish race should thank Mr. Grady for placing the dignity of Ameri can citizenship, no matter whence its extraction, on the just and high ground of equal devotion to American institu tions and of equal hostility to all men and measures inimical to American in stitutions—a position clearly defined by the history of Irish-American citi zens since the foundations of our country were laid. Stupid in deed to the teachings of that history must be the party which hopes by such Billy, transparent and contemptible frauds as that of the Pomona Murchison letter to the British Minister at Wash ington to influence, for this or that can didate, the Irish-American vote. Sucb * detestable political ruse is not only dishonorable to the party that resorts to it, but is a mortal insult to tbe class of citizens it ia deliberately intended to fool. And this truth, if not already apparent to the Republican party, will assert itself with tremendous emphasis on Tuesday next at the ballot box. To the honest worker in every industrial avoca tion Mr. Grady illustrated by the truths of history by plain, simple statistics and Legislature enactments facts, that only real true and solid pro tection which the American toiler ever had, or which be now enjoys, came to him by and through the Democratic party. He showed how strong the iron hand of bounty-favored-capital was slill npon the throat of labor, tbat hand de riving its main strength from the legisla tion of the Republican party, and held THE LOS ANGELES DAILY HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4. 1888. forth and clearly exposed tlie well grounded doctrine that in the permanent triumph of the Democratic party was to be found the poor man's safety, the abolition of the slavery instituted by highly protected millionaire manufac turers, the sweeping away of t_S egres sion of trusts and combines, and the final ace. mp' shm >nt of the true emn'.ci pation of American labor.

Responsive to the blasts of bogle horn thß sonß o{ .lie aMS _arsbaliDg for the over crow ol that modern feudalism born of Republican usurpation of true American doctrine—the combine and the trust and the lordly high tariff-protected million aire manufacturer —the sons of the peo ple are marshaling and marching toward the ballot-box to elect Cleveland and Thurman and to secure the true and last ing emancipation of American labor. F. C. M. Tne Murcblsou Fraud. Editors Hkrald—There are many comments of the press and otherwise upon the law and dastardly trick of the writer of tbe "Murchison" letter, and but few- of them characterize the "cur" with the scorn and contempt he merits. In all the history of tricks to make political capital, this is the last and dirtiest. The dog not so much obeys the whistle of his master as this fellow bas ran on ihe scent of his game. He runs a muck like the South Sea islander upon his own weapon, for the sake of dirty notoriety and to cnbserde his masters, who, in the end, will kick him for bis dirty work. And the great "statesman," Mr. Blame, receives the letter of reply of the British Ambassador and holds it up to a crowd upon a public occasion. And for what purpose does this distin guished candidate for President produce thjs reply? For the purpose of degrading a representative of the English Govern ment to the United States, and for the further purpose of making political capi tal at the last hour while the Republican party is in extremis. This "great statesman" should have seen at once, that the open notorious fraud committed by the contemptible vampire, for the object of making politi cal capital, will ultimately "return to plague the inventors." When the American people have had time to reflect upon this thing in all its fraudulent bearings, let the election go which way it may, then the reaction will come as surely as the morrow, and the dastardly coup which may result in bring ing Democratic and Republican institu tions to be a stench in the nostrils of tho world, will end in a Republican "boom erang." J. D. Garvanza, November 2d, 1888. PUBLIC WORKS. Recommendations to be Acted I'pom To-morrow. The Board of Public Works met yester day morning in the Council chamber and the following recommendations were passed to be referred to the Council on Monday: That the petition of property-owners on Collado street asking to have their street graded and curbed from Diamond street to Western avenue be granted and the City Attorney be instructed to draw up a resolutions of intention. That a communication from St. Vincent College representing that at tbe corner of Washington street and Grand avenue an immense pool of water collects when it rains which is injurious to the health of the neighborhood be referred to the City Surveyor. That the protest of property owners on Bellevue avenue, against curbing and laying cement walks, be disregarded as the public convenience demands it. That the petition from Geo. W. Frasher et al., asking that an incline be provided for public use leading into the river at or near Seventh street, be granted, and referred to tbe Street Superintendent. Tbat the petition of O. P. Burke et al., residents and owners on Howard street, asking to have their street graded, be granted, and the City Attorney be in structed to draw up resolution to grade. That the protest from Francises W. Shepherd against the opening of First street, be filed as not representing suffi cient frontage. That the petition of property owners on Sunset avenue, asking to have lots No. 4, block B, and 5 and 6, block F, in Hay's addition to the Sunset tract, on Arnold street, be graveled and curbed be granted, and the City Attorney instruct ed to draw resolution of intention. That the petition of property owners on First street, asking permission to grade the street be granted, and the City Attorney be instructed to draw resolu tion. That the petition of property owners on west of Hope street that a tunnel be con structed through the hill from Hill street to Hope on Third be granted, upon the condition that the property owners de posit the amount of the expense with the Treasurer. The petition states that such a tunnel is a public necessity, and when constructed will accommodate a travel ing public numbering not less than 15,000.1 That the request of property owners on Los Angeles street for permission to im prove said street with granite block pavement and stone curbing and cross walks be granted. That the petition for A. Kinney, asking that the contract to pave Spring street and a part of Main between Ninth and Tenth streets be carried out, referred to the contractors to adjust the difficulty between themselves. Tbat the petition of residents of Pico street, declaring the Tenth Street Elec tric Road a nuisance, be granted by or dering the City Attorney to draft an ordi nance declaring the poles of the road a nuisance, and providing for their re moval. The Board then adjourned. FIRST STREET PAVING. An Agreement which is Satisfactory to All. Tbe First street paving matter is con sidered as settled. As was stated in yesterday's Hkrald Mayor Workman and Captain Barrett took tbe matter in band and drew a contract which they considered wonld give each of the con tractors an, equal right in the premises and yesterday the contractors' represent atives agreed to the agreement, which will, it is expected, be signed by the contractors to-morrow. The agreement provides for the ap pointment of a trustee who shall handle the money and pay it over to the con tractors when it is due. It would have been signed yesterday had not the con tractors been out of tile city. If it is signed to-morrow it is considered that there is yet time to pave and sidewalk the street before the rain falls in any quantity.

Breach of promise to marry. Complaint alleges that tbe promise to marry was made Agugust 24th and was to be fulfilled October 24th, and in anticipation of this event plaintiff lived with defendant as his mistress, and when she reminded him of his promise on the 20th day of October, he declared that he would not marry her, but aban doned her, and at the time of the filing of this complaint the promise still re mained unfulfilled; wherefore the com plainant feels damaged in the sum of 15,000. M. Augustine vs. M. T. Whittaker, Joseph Simons, J. F. Crank, S. P. Jewett and the California Central Railway Com pany —This is another of a series of suits recently begun against M. T. Whittaker and some of the co-defendants on account of various complications growing out of a contract to convey certain realty in the Rancho San Pascual. The property in this case is 7.85 acres, with water rights, etc., adjoining the Oak Knoll property at Pasadena, and was conveyed by plaintiff to defendant Whittaker for certain con siderations, all of which have not been met, and plaintiff therefore asks judg ment against defendant Whittaker for tbe sum now due, and, in case of non compliance, full restitution of premises. The other defendants, being believed to have or claim certain secret interests in the transaction, are asked to show cause or be enjoined from interfering with plaintiff's recourse. Defendant Simons having started and operated a brick yard on the premises in question, petition is made to restrain him from moving any of the brick now in the yard, and also to compel him to make settlement for such as have already been removed. Tbe appointment of a receiver is also prayed for. G. W. Snyder vs. C. W. Harvey—Suit to compel issuance of deed of convey ance and $2,500 damages for withhold ing of same. Simpson M. E.
