PATRIOTISM, PROTECTION and PROSPERITY. FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Oblo FOR VICE-PRESIDENT— , GARRETT A. HOBART, of Rew Jersey ELECTION NOVEMEER 3, 1896. McKinley and Hobart. All hail the next President. The ticket means prosperity. The party of the‘ people has named the winner. The home is safe when the home indus- try is protected. Itisto be a marching campaign, Get in line at the start. Popular enthusiasm can hardly wait for the ratification meeting. America must do all the ratifying for McKinley. Europe will do the kicking. No more hard times, no more Cleveland- ism—the advance agent of prosperity is coming. The issue is work and wages, and the result will be prosperity for homes and firesides. / Silver Republicans should stand firmly for protection. Let us deal with one thing at a time. There is a stalwart Americanism in the characters of the candidates and in every principle of the platiorm. The Republican version of the Monroe doctrine in the St. Louis platform is aclear expression of manifest destiny. American workingmen might compete with pauper labor by becoming pauper laborers themselves, but they won’t. It will not be long now before the wheels will be moving in every American factory, and the revival of industry will be real- ized. This is the last tariff fight of this genera- tion. People will have to forget Cleve- landism betore they listen to free-traders any more. The canvass before us will be painted with piéiures American in every outline ana colored with the brightest hopes of tbe people. Rl iny Senator Thurston was right in saying, “‘This generation has had its object-lesson, end the doom of the Democracy is already pronounced.’’ Protection for the farm, the forge, the fireside and the ship that sails the sea. ‘Wherever American labor is there should protection be. To make America a great Nation we must vote for the party of National aspira- tions and for statesmen who are capable of great things. The St. Louis convention was National in the fullest and truest sense, and he is lacking in National feeling who hesitates to ratify its action. In this contest for American labor and American industry there snould be but one party. All Americans should stand for America’s welfure. The Republican party once more pre- sents the country with a soldier candidate, and the patriotism of war as well as of peace is represented in his record. There 1s no possibility of conflict be- tween labor and capital in a campaign for protection. Who works for the welfare of the one works also for the benefit of the other. All through the campaign will be heard the ringing shouts of workingmen re- joicing in the chance to re-establish pros- perity in the land and comfort in their homes. The voice of the people nominated Mc- Kinley, and the ballots of the people will elect McKinley. His administration will be a government of the people, by the peo- ple, for the people. After the experience with the Demo- cratic depression this country will vote for prosperity by a majority as large as that of intelligent and industrious men over fools and idlers. Away with the tariff of sectionalism, favoritism and deficit revenues. Let ms restore the tariff of Nationalism, protec- tion to all and of revenues abundant for every need of the Government. The speech of Senator Thurston, on tak- ing the chair at St. Louis, is an epitome of the spirit and the policy of Republican- ism. It expresses every great and right- ful aspiration of the American people, All young patriots who are to cast their first ballots this year should cast them for the party which, as Senator Thurston rays, represents a ‘‘deathless loyalty to all that is truly American and a patriotism as eternal as the stars.” THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The Republicon party celebrates this year the fortieth anniversary of its birth as a great National organism, destined and devoted to the support of principles of liberty and justice which are as old as the race. Like a strong man at its age it is upon the very summit of vigor, health and power, and from this emimence it looks forward proudly and hopefully to a future as fruitful of splendid accomplish- ments as its past has been of glorious results. In the weakness of its infancy 'the Re- publican party devoted its energies to the most worthy cause which could command the loyalty of a party in any land or under any form of government. It was the cause of liberty—not for its members, not for Americans of a favored race, not for men possessing already guaranteed rights under the Con- | stitution—but liberty for four millions of slaves, members of another race upon which the centuries had set the seal of bondage. Like Hercules in his cradle, it grappled with the ser- pents of personal slavery and political injustice and crushed them in its strength- ening grasp. If the Republican party had done nothing more than this during the first decade of its history it would have richly deserved the gratitude of man- kind. But it did more, much more than this. Amid the doubt and tumult of civil strife its statesmen clearly perceived and pre- sented those principles which are essen- tial to the life and ‘growth of the Nation in war or peace. The very exigencies of the time made it the more apparent to Lincoln and Seward and Chase that the highest destinies of the Republic could only be realized by making it a great self- sustaining commonwealth; a Nation of freemen bound in loyalty to their country by its loyalty to them and its constant protection of their personal, political and property rights. Hence it was that cortemporaneously with the Republican party policy of freedom to the slave arose the Republican party doctrine of protec- tion to American industries, in the in- terest and for the benefit of American freemen, The record of the Republican party for the past forty years furnishes two re- markable facts to students of politics and to organizers of parties. These are the consistency of its platforms with each other and their prophetic forecast of the Nation’s political and commercial | history. Like & pioneer pushing out into new and fertile lands, the campfire of the Republican party of to-day has been the busy center of ideas and activities to- morrow. It is this progressive quality which furnishes theRepublicans ample rea- son for pride in their party’s past and hope forits future, It is this which has made | its organization prolific of statesmen and of leaders. Itis this which attracts to its ranks the young men of the Nation and renders it the repretentative of the mov- ing forces and moral ideas of every com- munity in the land. The Republican party was born among the people. Itsearly and its later leaders have come up from below. Itsgrleatest man and the world’s grandest commoner aefined the mission of the Republican party when he declared at Gettysburg that “a government of the people, by the people and for the people should not perish from the earth.” This was the Republican doc- trine of forty years ago. It isthe Repub- lican doctrine of to-day and will continue 80 to be as long as human rights and liberties require declaration, protection or defense. SILVER REPUBLICANS. Next to the enthusiasm which marked the nomination of McKinley the most notable feature of the St. Louis convention was the scene in the room of the commit- tee on resolutions when Senators Teller, Dubois and Cannon with Representatives Cleveland and Hartman declared they could not stand with the Republican party | upon & gold platform. The sentiments of these leaders are undoubtedly shared to a large extent by many Republicans, but | we doubt if many will follow them in the rash action they have taken in deserting the party of vprotection in the crisis of its decisive battle with the advocates of free trade. TrE OALy is itself a stanch advocate of the remonetization of silver, and as such can with a full sympathy appeal to all silver Republicans to stand firmly by the Republican party at this juncture. Itis clear the main issue of the campaign will be that of protection to American industry and American wages against foreign com- petition. The voiceof the people in calling for the nomination of McKinley called for protection. There is no appeal from that demand. We cannot make an issue other than that which the people have made. Those who have suffered from the hard timés of the Democratic depression need work and wages to maintain their homes, and who shall say they are wrong in put- ting that need first and foremost before the country and forcing it to an immediate issne? 1t is worth noting, moreover, that there ismothing in the financial plank of the St. Louis platform that shuts out from the party those advocates of the remonetiza- tion of silver who are moderate in their de- mands and are willing to proceed accord- ing to the methods of a discreet states- manship. The platform says: “We are opposed to the free coinage of silver except by international agreement with the lead- ing commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote.” Here is a distinct pledge that the Mc- Kinley administration and the Repub- lican party will do its best to bring about the estabiishment of international bimet- allism, and surely all sane silver men will prefer to trustto that pledge rather than to turn away to join the incompetent crowds that make up the Democratic and Populist parties. There are many reasons for believing the remonetization of silver can be effected by international agreement under the vigorous leadership of a Republican ad- ministration in this country. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts has sent from Paris the statement: “I am confident the time is ripe for the settlement of the silver question and the re-estab- lishment of bimetallism by international agreement, and with the large co-opera- tion of England.” He goes on to say he has bad conferences, with leading states- men in England and France, and has been assured of the hearty assistance of strong parties in both of those countries to bring their Governments to unite with the United States in the task of restoring sil- ver to its position as a money metal. There is in fact every inducement to the friends of silver to stay with the Repub- lican party and fight out the battle of pro- tection for workingmen in this campaign. By such a course they will have the pro- tectionists with them when the time comes for them to settle the silver question on its merits. Let us fight one battle at a time. Teller and his friends will see their mistake before long. Free silver can gain nothing by an alliance with free trade. Now is the time for all Americans to stand by the party which, as Senator Thurston said, has “‘a deathless loyalty to all that is truly American and a patriotism eternal as the stars.” M'KINLEY AND HOBART. The Republican party presents to the people in this campaign the Presidential ticket which the people demanded. The nomination of McKinley was virtually made before ‘the convention met. The delegates assembled only to satisfy the will of their constituents. That of Hobart for Vice-President was almost equally well assured. The. ticket and the platform were foretold by TmE CaLn correspondent more than. a week ago. Public sentiment was too forcibly declared {0 be mistaken. The people demanded a restoration of the principle of protection uuder the administration of the great champion of protection, and it will be with exultant enthusiasm that they ratify in mass-meetings all over the Union the nomination of McKinley ana Hobart. It is an ideal ticket. The candidates suit the platform, the emergency and the needs of the country as well as they suit the desires and the temper of the people. William McKinley is one of those soidier candidates whom the Republican party delights to honor. His is the patriotism of war as well as of peace. He wasas prompt to defend the life of the Republic on the field of battle as to defend its industries in the halls of legislation. He is one of the hero statesmen of the Re- public—one of the band of patriotic youth that enlisted for the war while but little more than boys, and, after their arduous service there had closed in victory, devoted themselves to further service in the field of statesmanship, and rose to become honored and famous throughout the length and breadth of the land. Among the voungest of our greater statesmen McKinley is perhaps more familiarly known than any of them. His name is literally a household word. It has been uttered again and again in every home in the land during the long, dark years of Democratic depression. To the majority of the workingmen of America his name is synonvmous with prosperity. He is to them the champion of work and wages, the advocate of the American sys- tem, the man who will set the wheels of industry running, brighten the fireside of every home and lighten the burdens of every heart. The candidate for the Vice-Presidency 1s not so well known as the head of the ticket to the public generally, but they know him on the Atlantic seaboard. He is the man who redeemed New Jersey from Democratic rule and 1s one of those vigor- ous young Republicans who win victories even against the greatest odds. His nomi- nation was no accident. His name and in- fluence will add strength even to the strong name of his leader. It will not be long before his personality is felt in the canvass and there will be the ring of favor and en- thusiasm in the last as well as in the first name when the stalwart Republican hosts send up their long, loua, triumphant shouts for McKinley and Hobart. NAMED THE WINNERS. Merely to keep the record.correct, THE Carn reminds its readers that on the morning of Thursday, June 11, its special correspondent predicted that when the smoke cleared away from the convention hall it would be found that William McKinley of Chio had been nominated for President and Garre't A. Hobart of New Jersey for Vice-President, and that the platform would be based upon protection to the Nation’s industries and the gold standard for the redemption money of the Nation’s monetary system. This matter is not referred to in the wey of self-glorification, but simply to re- mind the public, although everybody knows it, that THE Carv's facilities for locating news and for securing it in ad- vance of all contemporaries have no real competitor., THE CALL is aware of the fact that this is the last and not the first end of the century, and itsappliances and methods for gathering in and giving out current happenings, as well as casting a light upon coming events, must necessarily be up to date. THE Cari speaks for all, and its correspondents know where to get the news, get 1t right and get it early. e READY FOR THE BATTLE. The Republican party is in battle array. ‘William McKinley is the general-in-chief. Enthusiasm prevails everywhere, and the grand army of protection to Americans against assaults from foreign wage and industry destroying competition will go from strength to strength until every ob- struction the Democracy has put in the way to hinder the people’s progress is removed beyond all possibility of re- turning. The harmony which characterized the work of the convention shows how ear- nestly the Republican party will take hold of the work of lifting the country out of tue mire and clay of business distress into which Democratic incapacity and venality have plunged it. It is a mighty task to repair 80 many breaches in the avenues and channels of the Nation’s trade and traffic, but the Republican party is equai to it, and the work will be done speedily and thorougnly. The years of Democratic rule since March, 1893, have seen only the turning back of the Nation’s wheels of commereial and industrial progress, but in a few months they will roll forward scattering everywhere substantial evidence that the same principles of government which in- creased the Nation’s wealth from $15,000,- 000,000 to $70,000,000,000 in three short decades are again in full operation for the betterment of the condition of every man, woman and child in all this broad land. Burely there is occasion for rejoicing everywhere, and there is rejoicing every- where. The Republican candidate for Presidentof the United States stands more distinctly and emphatically for trne Amer- icanism than did any of his predecessors. In their campaignsthey were confronted by a Democratic theory, but as President they had only to continue ina general way an established policy. But President McKinley and the Republican representa- tives in Congress will be confronted by the consequences of four years of Demo- cratic theories of Government in practical operation. The election of 8 Democratic administration in 1892 was an experiment which the people thought they would try. It is not likely that they will ever try an- other with that party. ‘We have said the next President will be William M¢Kinley, but not necessarily so. ‘While it may be said without fear of con- | tradiction from any intellizent source that an overwhelming majority of the people of the United States want and expect Mr, McKinley to be elected, it is equally true that danger of defeat lies in the confidence of the people that he will be elected in any event. It would require but & very few in each voting aistrict to conclude that their votes were not needed, and stay away from the polls, to turn what shduld be a briliant victory mnto a humiliating defeat. The most disgraceful and inex- cusable defeat is the defeat by default. Itis the duty of every voter, without reference to past or present party affilia- tion, who wants to see the several lines of commerce and industry put upon a sound and stable basis and who wants to see the wealth of the country expand on lines which shall insure its distribution among the people—each one receiving according to the honest effort he has made—to place himself in the tanks that are fighting to broaden and deepen opportunities for re- maunerative employment in every field of labor that is now open or may hereafter be developed. WHAT IT STANDS FOR. The piatform of the National Repub- lican party provides for the betterment of the conditions of existence of every citizen of the United States as contemplated in that expression of the Declaration of Inde- pendence which ciaims for man the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness. And since the greatest danger to man’s advancement from degree to degree in possessing himself of those things which are most conducive to the perma- nency of his right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness lies in the aggressive- ness of the would-be invader, the platform anticipates the purpose of the intruder by making protection against all such an- tagonism the warp and woof of the party’s declaration of principles. No interest orneed is overlooked. From the obscure laborer working in the dark- ness of the mine to the greatest aggrega- tion of capital, the Republican party encourages by guaranteeing the full strength of the Nation’'s strong arm, chould it be needed in defense of the promise of the Nation’s declaration of per- sonal liberty, The name, the honor and the welfare of the people, individually and collectively, will be guarded at every pos- sible point of attack, while every one who sows shall reap in peace the full of his effort. A National revenue adequate to meet the expense of maintaining the Gov- ernment and to gradually pay off the Nation’s debts will be provided, but in a way that shall give the greatest possible encouragement to the people to expand their business enterprises. Reciprocal trade relations will be estab- lished with such nations as commodity interchanges . will be mutually advan- tageous, and such substantial aid to American ships will be given asshall en- able them to gather under the stars and stripes the country’s ocean carrying trade. That is to say, the commerce of the United States shall no longer be dependent upon foreign shipyards for water-transportation facilities to carry’our goods and wares to castomers beyond the seas and fetch from them such articles of merchandise as are needed by us. The railway systems of the country having grown to such proportions, the Republican party will undertake the supervision of their conduct to the extent of revising transportation traffic tariffs that the people may be protected against the avariciousness of corporate power. The old soldier will be held in grateful Temembrance for protecting the Nation against the vicions intent of treasonable conspirators, and the old flag for which they fought will hereafter be all the guar- antee of personal safety an American citizen will want anywhere on earth. In short, the platform of the Republican party stands for the peace, the happiness and the prosperity of all the people. FOR A MERCHANT MARINE, One of the most interesting planks of the 8t. Louis platform, next to protection, of course, is the one declaring for the restor- ation of the merchant marine by direct or indirect subsidy. It is hard to conceive what the growth of San Francisco would be, commercially and n umerlcally, in the next ten years under a system of ocean freight carriers sailing from and to the Pacific Coast’s metropolis. There is noth- ing that binders San Francisco becoming the second center of commercial import- ance in this hemisphere but ample facili- ties to reach the countries bordering on the Pacific Ocesn. A well-supported mer- chant marine would make this city one of the chief ship-building centers of the con- tinent, and moreover, it would remove the present comparative isolation of California and bring not only the State but the whole American-coast country of the Pa- eific in close touch with millions of foreign people and thousands of foreign trade centers. 4 But the Republican party is pledged to accomplish all this for California, and equally as much for the whole country, and if for no other reason the people should rise in their might and firmly seat the chosen representatives of that party in the Nation’s places of official trust. With a strongly intrenched line of ocean craft on the Pacific Ocean, and a passageway for them across Nicaragua, there is no doubt at all that the population of Cali- fornia would be doubled in a few years. The importance, therefore, to not only Californians but to those who will make this Btate their home, of giving opportu- nity to put into practical operation the theory of a Pacific Ocean merchant marine is too apparent to enable any one to frame an excuse for not giving the proposition a practical application. THE MONROE DOCTRINE. The Bt. Louis platform reasserts the Monroe doctrine with great emphasis. The events growing out of the Venezuelan affair have shown how impotent the Democratic party 1s to handle interrnational questions, which, together with the arro- gant acgressiveness of England, induced by the administration’s apparent timidity, made it necessary for the Republican party to put its interpretation of the doc- trine with so much clearness that Great Britain will know exactly what to expect when Mr. McKinley becomes the executive head of the nation. It is a fundamental principle of this Government that territorial extension of European nations npon this econtinent by purchase or conquest would be an attack upon the republican form of government and that the United States could not have its own safety or the safety of any republic in this hemisphere endangered by permit- ting a monarchy to get a foothold. Of course, the Republican platform does not intend to be understood as meaning that American provinces of foreign powers are held unlawfully, but it does mean that such possessions shail not be used as a pretext to acquire more territory. The sympathy of the Republican party with Cuba as expressed in the platform is participated in by every true lover of lib- erty, right and justice. The declaration isnot a threat, but it insists that the people of Cuba have the tight to feel that they can rely implicitly upon the influ- ence of the United States with Spain to deal justly and grant them such liberty as they are entitled to, even to the extent if need be of recognizing their belligerency, together with the sympathy of the people of this country, in a form so substantial that it would pe the equivalent of men, money and guns. s — e THE DEMOCRATIO PLATFORM. After reading the platform of the op- posing school of politics, which was adopt- ed in convention at Sacramento yesterday, any fair-minded man would suggest that for its own good and the State’sadvantage the Democracy of California should merge itself into the Republican party, at least during the present campaign. The Sacramento platform voices nearly every deciaration of the Republican party as concerning the needs of California, and in substantially the same language that was employed by the Republican State Convention a few weeks ago. It is almost line upon line and precept upon precept, nor is it exactly a theft of the livery of the court of heaven to serve the cloven-footed Democracy in; but, however the copventien happened to adjust its platform to the principles enun- ciated by the Republican party only the other day, the theme of the old hymn, “While the lamp holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return,” is strengthened from center to circumference. The Demo- cratic party of California is to be congrat- ulated for evincing a disposition to get nearer abreast of the civilization of the nineteenth centary. Tha Republican party of California de- clared for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. The Democracy follows suit, and declares for the same thing. The Republican party declared against what is known as the refunding bill of the Pacific railways. The Democratic party now comes to the front, and says it, too, is opposed to the bill. The Republican party declared against the Southern Pacific’s ““bossy” methods in California politics. The Democratic party comes along with a similar declaration. The Republican party demanded the construction of the Nicaragua canal at the earliest time possible. The Demo- cratic party has come to the conclusion that the canal should be pushed to com- pletion as rapidly as possible. The Republican party pointed out how the industries of California are unduly de- pressed, and recommended the immediate return to protection that protects, and a merchant marine sufficiently backed by the General Government to control the Pacific Coast ocean carrying trade. The Democracy now admits that California in- dustries are greatly depressed, but it does not appear to know how to remedy the evil. This is the first divergence from the plans and specifications of the Republican party to restore the State to its old-time power and influence in the commercial world. The Republican party declared for pro- tection tolabor and pointed out that the way to protect American labor was to shut out all labor competition that com- peted by cutting down wages. At this voint the Democracy made its second divergence from the Republican party’s list of declarations. It could suggest noth. ing better than *‘a tariff for revenue only —that is, the same kind the country has been enjoying for three years—and which has failed to provide enough revenue to support the Government by $150,000,000, besides increasing the bond debt of the country $262,000,000, to say nothing of the hundreds of thousands of good, sober and honest wage-earners who have been thrown out of employment by its operation. Therefore the Democratic party of Cali- fornia having indorsed all the principles of the Republican party, except the one of tariff, it follows that the tariff question is the only issue that the parties can go be- fore the country upon. The Republican party choerfully enters the arena of the common-sense of the peo- ple as the champion of the principle of protection in the case of protection vs. free trade. There would be nosenseatallin discussing any other principle of govern- ment than that of the tariff, for every other declaration of the Republican party has been accepted by the Democracy as its political creed. Now for the hustings. THE BEST NEWS RSERVICE. TaE CaALL scored still another triumph over its contemporaries yesterday morn- ing, when its special train carriea its big convention edition into the city of BSanta Cruz seven hours in advance of any other San Francisco morning newspaper. The train shot into San Jose just fiftv-seven minutes after the start and to Tue Carv's host of readers in the Garden OCity the magnifi- cent paper bad been distributed before 5 o’clock in the morning. The run to Santa Cruz in two hours and fifty-eight minutes broke all previous records ovér the line by a fuil half hour, and there was enthusiastic delight among the thousands of visitors to the seaside carnival when they awoke to welcome THE CALL that conveyed to them the latest and most complete and faithful details of the St. Louis convention, as well as the news of the world, at about the same hour that the carriers in this City were finishing their daily rounds. But TaE CALL’s record-breaking feats of vesterday did not end there. Its special bulletins from the National Convention hall in the Missourian metropolis were given to the people of San Francisco con- tinuously in advance of all rivals, and the news of the nomination of William Mc- Kinley was posted in front of the business office of THE CALL on Market street three minutes after the announcement was made by Ohairman Thurston in 8t. Louiz. ‘When the mighty cheers arose from the throng in front of THE. CALL office as the result of the ballot for Presidential nominee was laid before them on the canvas, the City received its first thunderous notification that the Ohio statesman had been confirmed 'as the standard-bearer of the Republican party 1n the campaign of 1896. Tue CALn bul- letins were full, accurate and prompt. As Tae CALL was first with its special train on the scene of the Venetian Fiesta, so it was first ail the day in its bulletin service. Verily shall it be said, supported by uni- versal evidence of popularity, that “TaE CaLy speaks for all.” ‘When the prosperity of the home is es- tablished, when work is plenty and wages are high, then the people can turn to new issues and settle the money question in accordance with the everlasting right. The Republican party maintained our financial system 1n operation without run- ning the country into debt to keep up the gold regerve, and when restored to power will continue to do so. It is into this vast field of home trade—at once the creation and the heritage of the ‘American people—that foreign nations are striving by every device to enter. I is into this field that the opponents of our present revenue system would freely admit the countries of Europe—-countries into whose internal trade we could not reciprocally enter; countries to which we should be ing every ad- vantage of trade; from which we should be gaining nothing in return. — JAMES G.
