FOR l'l!!'lilll}j\"lf_ WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Obio FOR VICE-PRESIDENT— GARRETT A. HOBART, of New Jersey 3, 1896. BER Now for the ratification. Everybody wants prosperity. Attend the mass-meeting to-night. cKinley, Hobart and prosperify is the cry. The St. Louis ticket is the ticket of the people. Don’t forget to leave orders to-day for THE SUNDAY CALL. McKinley was nominated on Waterloo day, but it was sn Austerlitz for him. Now is thet rnia to pledge herself to patriotism, protection and pros- perity. McKinley and protection—the man and e another as well as McKinley stands for the industries of California, and all who would promote those industr i This time we take the tariff out of poli- and make protection the permanently of the American people. s any trusting to signs the n at Chicago will ly more so. If there Democratic Conventi be like that at Sacramento, on Join in the grand demonstration this evening of a deathless loyalty to all that is truly American and a patriotism eternal as the st Republican prosperity will soon be re- established and all the evils of Demo- cratic days will seem no more than a hideous phantom and a horrid dream. When stalwart silver men find that leav- ing the Republican party mea associa- tion with Democrats or Populists they will return to their old friends and be for- given. Instead of tryine to take the tariff out of politics atl good citizens should unite with the Republicans to establish & pro- tective system and then proceed to kick the would-be tinkers out of politics. The common-sense of the people has de- cided to settle the tariff question in this campaign and let the financial issue wait until inaustry has revived and there are once more wages and work for all who need them. Remember, THE CALL publishes The United Press dispatches, in which there are no fak You may not read so many sensations in Tug CALL as in the Associ- ated Press papers, but what you read you can count on. One of the advantages of the Eastern summer climate isthe inducement it offers to men to undertake Arctic explorations. After an experience of a year with it Lieu- tenant Peary has decided to make another trip to Greenland at once. The Dunkards of Pennsylvania have declared against the use of bicycles on the ground: *“That which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of the Lord.” The text may hit the wheel, but 1t spares the scorcher. Fifteen Republican State conventions, as well as the National Convention, de- clarged for some form of protection for Auwerican ships engaged in the foreign carrying trade, and it goes without saying the next administration will proviae it. There were many eloquent speeches at the St. Louis convention and there will be many more during the campaign, but none will be more potent than that of the workingman's wife as she urges him to vote this time for the welfare of his home. Chicago is taking but little interestin the Democratic National Convention and seems to be devoting all her political en- ergies to the enterprise of getting the Na- tional committees of all parties to estab- blish their headquarters within her bor- ders. T CaALL of yesterday contained more political information concerning the Re- publican party than can be found else- where in many volumes, and all who are interested in political history should not only read it, but preserve 1t for future reference. Under a Republican administration the veteran of the war for the Union will be honored and the widows and orphans of his dead comrades remembered. The party of patriotism will never be false to tbe men who gave us a Republic that patriots can be proud of. THE MEETINGS TO-NIGHT. With the rallying ery of ‘‘patrictism, protection and prosperity’” the people of California wil! meet to-night to ratify the work of the St. Louis convention and ex- press with enthusiasm their approval of the nominations of McKinley and Hobart for President wnd Vice-President of the United States. It will be in name a Ke- publican rally. It will be in form the demonstration of a political party. In spirit and in sentiment, however, it will be the uprising of the people, the union of labor and capital, the combination of in- telligent men of all trades, industries, in- terests and enterprises, joining together with one accord to pledge themselves to the weifare of America and the welfare of the home, and to greet with exaltant ac- clamations the names of the statesmen who stand for America against the world. Itis right and fitting that these ratifica- tion meetings throughout the State should be attended by all business men and by all workingmen, no matter what their former party affiliations may have been. The platform adopted at St. Louis calls for the protection and promotion of the welfare of all sections of the Union and of all the in- dustries of its people. Every man who has felt the suffering and undergone the losses inflicted upon the people during the wretched years of Democratic administra- tion should unite in this manifestation of popular rejoicing over the nomination of a man who stands for everything opposed to Clevelandism—in favor of everything that issummed up in the word Americanism. The St. Louis platform and the St. Louis candidates, as said Senator Thurston, are pledged to “‘a deathless loyaity to all that is truly American and a patriotism as eternal as the stars.” No fair-minded man can read the platform or study the characters and the records of the candi- dates without feeling conscious of the truth of that statement. The grand old party that freed the slave, saved the Union, established prosperity, protected industry, fostered enterprise, reduced the public debt and lightened the burden of taxation upon the people, never was more fitly led and never more firmly and wisely met the emergencies of the Republic than at this time. It welt deserves the honor of every loyal citizen and the support of every man who desires a return of pros- perity to the homes and firesides of the people. The ratification meetings to-night should be great popular demonstrations. The Republican party will extend a cordial welcome to its ranks to all Democrats or Populists who have profited by the dis- astrous experience of the Jast four years and now see the necessity of establishing the protective system firmly upon the statute-books of the Nation before we un- dertake to deal with any other political problen: whatever. The home comes first and the home is destroyed when the in- dustries and the wazes that maintain it are destroyed. This truth is now known to the American people and they will be false to themselves if they are false to it. Come forth, therefore, men of every in- dustry and of every interest; men who represent every form of American home from tbe mansion to the cottage, come forth and unite in the meeting which rati- fies the nomination of men whose every political aspiration is the establishment of prosperity in the American home. Make the assembly a true expression of the popular wi Make it a rebuke to De- mocracy and to Populism, a condemna- tion of Cleveland and free trade, an up- holding of American manhood against pauper labor, an assertion that the Ameri- can Governme all stand for American industries, and an unmistakable proof that the American people are united on the broadly National platform of “patriotism, protection and prosperity.” A PARTY WITH ONE IDEA, ‘While the echo of the first shouts of the people’s approval of the work of the 8t. Louis convention still lingers upon the ear the Democracy sends out its carefully prepared counteracting war cry, but which does not counteract—*McKinley is a man with but one idea; the idea of pro- tection.” In its blind stupidity the Democratic party bus coined a sentence in derision that will be taken up by the people as the cry to arms in defense of the very vrin- ciple to establish which there was in- augurated a war which culminated in a declaration of American independence. It was the ‘‘idea of protection” that kept aglow the fives of the spirit of right, of justice and freedom, and which moved the people to make July 4, 1776, the bhe- ginning of a new eycle in the onward and upward advance of humanity. Washing- ton ana his confraternity of human rights defenders were inspired by but the ‘““one idea” of *‘protection” against what- ever was calculated to hold the colonies subservient to foreien nations. What the Democracy has invented to belittle the Republican party’s leader will return to it as the boomerang returns to the thrower. Just guch a campaign enthusiasm-be etter was needed, and the Republican party thanks the Democracy for it. Yes, Mr. McKinley as candidate of the Republican party for President stands but for one idea, which is protection or Ameri- canism. Since March, 1893, the people have been growing in the belief that there is too much foreignism and not enough Americanism in the conduct of the affairs of the Nation, and, like McKinley, they have but one “idea” about the matter, and that is to reverse the order of things and have more Americanism and less—a good dealless—foreignism. Mr. McKinley'sidea is that when our people are so deprived of protection against the invasion of their enemies that every present and future prospect of advancement is in the clutches of discouragement, the time has come for every true citizen of the United States to have but one idea—the idea that all dis- couraging prospects for the American to gather for himself the fruit of his labor should be turned into positive assurances that what is his is his, with the further assurance that he shall be protected in his effort to add to that which is already his by right of his own industry. Not orly Mr. McKinley, but every other good Republican, has but “one idea—the idea of protection.” But the definition of “*protection,”’ as Republicans define it, in- cludes everything that is calculated to protect our people against whatever threat- ens to retard them in their social, political or commercial advancement. Therefore, when a Republican talks about “protec- tion,” he means by it the adoption of any policy and the employment of any means that promise good to the citizen of high and low degree. Protection does not mean high custom-house charges merely, but it means a watchful eye upon every avenue by which harm could reach the machinery of the individual, and the Nation’s pur- pose to go from strength to stiength in all the ways to better conditions for the enjoy- ment of life, liberty and the harvest of one’s own honest effort. The McKinley ‘“one idea” stands for true Americanism in all its ramifications, and hence it includes everything that the spirit and letter of the Declaration of In- dependence promises to the citizen of the United States. It would not mean more nor less 1o say the “Declaration of Inde- pendence”’ instead of “Protection,” nor is either susceptible of being twisted into more than “one idea’’ of purpose. Pro- tection, as the Republican party under- stands the definition of the word to be, means—first, to eive all the encourage- ment possible to every American citizen to better his condition of living, and to do that in the most effective way a reciprocity of interests is established to the end that each member of the family of American sovereigns shall secure his just proportion of the general wealth increases of the country; and second, to protect his prop- erty acquisitions against the attacks of outsiders, 'who would not only deprive him of what he has already accumulated, but deny him the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Democracy isright. Mr. McKinley and the Repub- lican party have but “one idea—the idea of protection” to everything that true Americanism stands for. LET CAPITAL 60 TO WORK. The election of Mr. McKinley is suffi- ciently assured to warrant capital in going out into all the fields of employment. There are hundreds of millions of dollars that have earned no income for three years; but there have been many good reasons for capital to hesitate to venture into the activities of the business world since the control of the Government passed to the hands of the Democracy. There has been more or less uncertainty all the time, besides nearly all capital that was caught in industrial and agricultural enterprises when the tariff act of 1890 was repealed has fared badly. But now that it is only a question of a few months when an administration friendly to the indus- tries and markets of the country will direct the affairs of the Nation, together with the further fact that Cleveland is power- less to inflict any further damage to busi- ness enterprises, there should be no hesi- tation on the part of capital. It is safe enough to go into the sheep- raising industry, agricultural employment or any one of the various merchandise manufacturing entetrprises. It is true that capital would not meet with much en- couragement or secure very satisfactory results for a while, but it must be remem- bered that it will take a little time to clear the highways of the debris that the present ®dministration has strewn along them. We certainly shall estab- lish reciprocal relations with the Latin American states and with other countries, too, no doubt, and capital would run no risk in making preparations for that event. Tin-plate factories will multiply as soon as they are protected against the Welsh intruders, but there is no reason why capital should wait until the actual repeal of the Wilson-Gorman act is effected, for it will be wiped out by the time any new establishments could be made reudy to supply the tin-plate de- mand. A change in the policy of the Govern- mentin the interest of home industries and home labor is as certain as couid be, and capital shou!d anticipate coming opportunities for profitable and safe em- ployment by taking time by the forelock, so to speak. Right here in San Francisco capital should be looking about to build shipyards, for the building of a merchant marine is sure to follow close on the heels of Mr. McKinle: inauguration. Investment in iron works from furnace to mills to turn out finished products would prove remunerative, as would woolen and other fabric factories. In short, there is not a line of industry that is not now safe for capital to enter. If there was any uncertainty as to the out- come of the vresent political contest there would be reason for capital to hold back, but there is no risk at all on that score, un'ess the majority of the people of the United States should go daft before the ides of November. HIGH ART. The picture of William McKinley in yes- terday’s CALL is the summit of newspaper portraiture. Asa work of high art it has never been equaled on the Pacific Coast, and never bzen excelled anywhere; be- sides, as a likeness of the original, the pic- ture is faultless. A member of THE CALL'8 art department was dispatched to Canton, Mr. McKinley's bome, for the express purpose of obtaining an exact likeness of the next President, and Mr. McKinley kindly gave a sitting. When tire portrait was finished, the family and friends of Mr. McKirley pronounced it a perfect likeness, and Mr. McKinley indorsed their opinion by affixing his own signature to the drawing, for it was a pen and ink portrait from life. The difference between a portrait sketched from life, as this one was, and one taken by the camerd is marked, as may be seen by comparison. It will be seen that THE CALL's portrait of Mr. McKinley leaves the lines and facial expression as they are naturally, thus depicting in ac- curaie delineation his character, as ex- pressed in his face, to the life. Tue CALL's readers would do well to preserve this most accurate likeness of the next Presi- dent. THE SUNDAY OALL. The California bathing girl is the one that really gets wet when she dons her pretty bathing suit. In many parts of Europe and in the Eastern States it is fashionable to parade the beach in full cos- tume—or absence of it—never wetting more than the soles of the feet, or possibly the ankies. The California bathing girl's costume is none the less chic and modish, yet it is made to withstand the effects of extreme moisture. Aside from her prone- ness to get wet, the California bathing girl has many other disunctive qualities and graces, some of which have been set forth io verse by Tue CaLu’s poet and beauti- fully illustraied by one of THE CALL’s artists. *“The California Bathing Girl,”” as treated in THE Suxpay Caur, wilt be en- joyed as a unique and striking feature of these latter days of journahsm. And be- sides being beautiful and shapely and fashionably attired, she is still modest. Bhe and her costumes are given a page in to-morrow’s issue, There are many other pages, remember. And every one of these additional pages contains its own particular bright and at- tractive feature or features, many of which are aecidedly novel, and all of which are new, entertaining and interesting to all kinds of readers, Never before in the history of our coun- try did the welfare of the whole people depend so much upon a single party as at this juncture. He who deserts the Re- publican party now is false to the welfare of every interest, industry and home in the Republic. General Maceo doesn’t care $o much for American recognition as for more men and more arms. In other words, if we will let the filibustering ships go free he is willing for us to look the other way. The Republican party has an everlasting right to govern the country because it is everlastingly right on every issue that con- fronts the country.

REPUBLICAN Lovaury 10 Goup WiLL HELP STRENGTHEN THE POPULISTS. To the Editor of the San Francisco Cail—SiR: It is no assumption to say that the stand taken by the National Republican Convention in St. Louis in favor of preserving the existing gold standard and in opposing the free coinage of | silyer except by international agreement with the leading nations of the world will greatly strengthen the Populists and help build up the new party, for the Populists, by a per- sistent fight against obloquy, misrepresenta- tion and the formidable bulwark of ignorance encountered in well-organized and disciplined parties containing a large majority of the voters, are gradually emerging from such seemingly hopeless obscurity into the open day, und thelr principles, as they stato them, | {10 TISW0 (O tunity | by the owner, and it are beginning to be better understood. It is true, and must be admitied, that there are intelligent and fair-minded men who are still under the baneful influence of early mis agpnncnsmn of the principles euunciated by the Populists, and they honestly believe that Populists “stand for Government ownership of every public means of conveyance and trans- portation,” inyolving “‘the immediate purchase of all public highways of travel and shipping by the Government, which would oblige the creation of & new public debt of over §11,000,- 000,000 1o pay for the railways alone,” while n fact their platform simply ““demands” that he Government should own and operate the railroads in the interest of the people,” and their financial system provides for the pur- chase of railroads without the creation of a debt, of any amount, and at actual value of the property, and not the inflated value on which the péople now pay big interest and dividends, in which cas¢ the railroads are worth ali that is to be paid for them, and will soon pay for themselves and ever after be the source of revenue to the Government, It is likewise true that honest men are still misled, and reaily believe that Populists favor “the wiping out of all banking institutions and the uniimited issue of paper money by the Government,” when in fact their platform i “We de- mand a National currency—safe, sound and flexible—issued by the General Government only, a fuil legal tender for all debts, public and private”’; and “We demand that the cir- culating medium be speedily increased to not less than §50 per capita,” including of course the gold and silver now in circulation as a part of the $50 per capita, a less amount than was in eirculation at the close of the war,wien Becretary Windom in his report of the Treas- ury Department stated that ‘“‘the people were almost entirely out of debt” and that the busi- ness of the country was on a cash basis, almost sively and not as now almost exciusively on “confidence” in & very shaky financial sys- tem. Similar misapprehensions no doubt prevail to some extent with reference to other planks in the Populist platform, but will soon all be corrected and large numbers oi people, no longer blinded by prejudice or ignorance, or misied by false statements or deterred by ob- loquy, will find much to their surprise that they do not need to become Populists, for the simple reaxon that they are already Pognli.sm but did not know it. Present conditions throughout the country stimulate a good deal of independent thinking and serious investi- gation, producing as a natural result the inde- pendent voter, who becomes deaf to appeals to stay with the party another four years and try to secure reform within the pariy. These in- dependent voters will not only be numerous this year, but they will be extremely inclined to vote for a change as the most effective way to bring *‘the party” to a clear understanding of what the country needs in 1896, not in 1900. Senator Teller will have a following which may become more numerous than McKinley sound-money Republicans cac at present be- lieve possible. Itis certainly a fair statement which was made in St. Louis two days since b] one of the ablest living Republicans, John J. Ingalls, that “the Republican party is ina transitfon perfod”; that *“the issues on which it came into power have gone into history”; and that ‘‘these issues have passed from plat forms into precedent and are written in statutes and constitutional amendments.” In & word, new fssues are before the country in which the plain people feel that they have a vital interest. Ii the vote on the ndaPflon of the platform to-day at St. Louis—812!4 for it aud 1105 against it—may be taken as a fair indication of the free silver minority in the Republican party, that is, about one silver man to eight gold men, the possible loss of one vote out of nine in several of the doubtful States will be apt to have a cooling effect upon the ardor of many a McKinley man. It needs no array of figures to uisclose the stubborn fact that there is very likely to be a shortage ?‘Ilntlhn votes necessary to elect Major Mc- In conclusion, I venture to say that there is far more genuine and heartfels sniisfaction over the aaoption of the Republican [klunm‘m among the Populists than among the Republi- cans. To the one it is a certsin promise of a large increase in numbers and to the others loss of numbers which can possibly be made 8ood by the defeciion of gold Democrats and still jeave tne electoral coilege a knotty prob- lem. No one need be surprised if scme im- portant political developments are made within a very short period. OSEPH ASBURY JOHNSON. Francisco. BURNING COAL CARGOES. A REMEDY THAT Is BELIEVED WILL INSURE THE SAFETY OF COLLIERS. To the Editor of the San Francisco Call—SR: Iread to-day of another hot coal cargo in & ship. I will suggest a remedy that is simple and is just as good for loose grain stored in bins as for coal. The coal vessels could carry an air motor of some kind, and attached to that a low-pressure airpump. Even a rotary would do, as the pressure would not amount }o‘n)‘tlflvng, the air to be distributed by per- orated pipes with holes downward, to prevent 11 Essex street, & their stopping up on the bottom of the cos E day air would be forced in, displacing air, whieh could be let out by a vent on top of the coal, thus destroying the fire- dumP. When this is done spontaneous com- bustion will be a thing of the past in coal ships. The costoi the little machinery would amount to little. FRED FISHER, i 503 Folsom street. San Francisco, June 18, 1896. SALUTE THE FLAG. AN INCIDENT THAT AUGURS WELL FOR THE PATRIOTISM OF THE RISING GENERATION. To the Editor of the San Francisco Call—SIR: I was riding on a streetcar the other day and on the opposite seat was a young mother, with a curly-headed tot of four or five. Presently a funeral passed, a military escort at the head bearing the American flag. The little fellow spied the flag and, jumping from his seat, pulled off his cap and with bare head and ashing eyes turned to his mother, cryin Sulute the flag, mother! Salute the flag And there he stood, with bared head, until the flag had passea out of sight. Let us have more such mothers and our chiidren will be better Americans. F. AW, San Francisco, June 18, 1896. WILL BE DISAFPOINTED. Fresno Republican. A small numver of property owners who-im- agine they see in the coming of the Valley Road an opportunity to sell their property to the right of way commitiee at u much higher price than they could hope to get from any- one else are likely to be disappointed, if the result of condemnation suits in the counties north of Fresno ean be taken as an indication of publicsentiment in regard to the policy of obstructing for profit. Two cases of this kind were concluded in Merced yesterday in which the property-owners demanded & total of $17,- 600 1or the land required by .the railroad. They vere awarded the Fresno committee has been to pay all that | ‘wortb, when required s not probable that a jury of citizens will be found to do more than that. To the contrary, those who are willing | toaccept a fair offer or submit to arbitration are likely to fare better than those who insist upon litigation and the expenses which ac- crue under that metho A MISS' SHIRT WAIST. ‘The waist shown here is one of the most styl- ish shapes. The yoke back is cut deep enough | at the top to extend well over the shonlder, 1orming a shallow yoke in front, to which the body is gathered. Batiste with cuffs and collar of white linen makes a very jaunty waist. The new fabrics for shirt waists show some startling combinations of color, and ver striking designs of flowers conventionalized. These are often made up with s plain color which harmonizes for the cuffs and collar. Very elaborately embroidered batiste in nat- ural colors is used, and the result is very rich. The cuffs and collar are usually of plain Dbatiste to match, or of white. EFFECT OF AN ALVERSE DECISION. Extend the Doctrine. Halfmoon Bay Advocate.

An exchange heads an article “The Culture of Hemp,”” and then goes on to tell about it. It does not seem to me that ‘the “culture” of hemp concerns California just now so much as the “‘use” of it.

It is all very well for Secretary Carlisle to make & written report to the committee ap- ointed by the Senate to investigate the bond ssues of ‘the administration, but it is to be boped that he will also submit to an oral examinatiou.

For an organization that is so opposed to monopolies as the Populist party it does not seem consistent that they should nominate for United States Senator a paid attorney of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Thomas V Cator is now conducting a case for the railroad against Sheriff White of Oakland. Cator, it must be remembered, carries the FPopulist party of California around in his hip pocket. PERSONAL.
