HOBART, of New Jersey PION R 3 NOVEMBE 1896, Whitney is just frantic. Itis now time for every Democrat to write a letter. Grover may declare war on Spain just to find vent for his feelings. It is just about as well to begin calling him President McKinley. About the only use of the Chicago con- vention is to make more talk for a while. In1ts last analysis Whitney's letter is simply a plea for Democracy to get on the St. Louis platform. Every Democrat is willing to talk of the money question, but not one will say a word about the tariff. The election of McKinley is so well sured that business men are already talk- ing of new euterprises. A few extreme siiver leaders may for- sake the Republican party, but the voters will stay with prorection. Every industry in the State should or- ze a Republican club and make a fight for the protection it needs. We won’t turn the pictures of the silver- | bolters to the wall yet. They may come back in time to be forgiven. There are few people who have any hopes of the Chicago convention, but those who have will be disappointed, The more the people learn of Hobart’s executive ability the more eager they are to see him Pres of the Senate. Now that the DBuckleyites have been forced down to bedrock they have noth- ing to lose and a fight just suits them. Unless Cleveland gets his mad up and interferes the Cuban crisis will probably camp where it is and stay all summer, The people know the repeal of the Mc- Kinley tariff wrecked our industries and that a re-enactment of it will revive them. No man can be truly loyal to the Ameri- can home who is not also loyal to the American workshop. The one needs the other. 1f the Democrats wish to poli their full party vote in this State they bad better make a Presidential ticket of Daggett and Buckley. It is reported from Vienna that Blanther | is bogus, but as our police did not know him to be such they cannot be punished for passing him. The thing for Republicans to do now is 1o push the work of organization as rap- The campaign will soon Our alien iabor legislation is said to be displeasing to Canada, but all the same she knows whenever she wishes to come in out of the cold she can. e | Teller should have looked before he leaped. It seems thatin coming down in the Democratic camp he landed on the toes of lots of people. The Populists have no Presidential can- didate of their own this year and seem willing to accept any old thing the other parties will give them. Every young voter who is to enter his first political campaign this year should join a Republican club at once and learn how victory is organized. The proposal to run Teller for Secretary of the Treasury on the Democratic ticket is one of those fresh schemes which are aito- gether too raw for digestion. Now that his dear Standard oil friend Whitney has come out for bimetallism €leveland nas no one to stand by his gold standard save Morgan and Harrity, In all this talk about tariff and finance, no Congressional district in Oalifornia should lose sight of the anti-funding fight. The people haven’t won that battle yet. Pennsylvania Democrats will not-go to Chicago solid for Pattison. The silver men among them have got up a diversion for Sibley which promises to be very diverting indeed. There secms to be a prospect of good prices for dried fruit this fall and moreover a fairly good harvest despite the frosts, so California will have money for business as soon as business revive: Many of the leading nations in Europe are ready for a reiurl}!u international bi- metallism, and under the vigorous leader- ship of a Republican administration in this country the return can be easily and promptly effected. 1 LOYAL REPUBLICANS. The statements of Senator Shoup of Idaho and of Congressman Bowers of this State, published in Tur CaLi yesterday, gave a clear expression of the attitude’ of loyal silver Republicans to the party at this jnncture, and also outlined the policy which it is best for Republican bimetal- lists to pursue in order most effectively and most promptly to bring about the re- establishment of that system of money to which they are devoted. The statements of the two leaders in re- gard to the proper policy of bimetallists, who are also protectionists, are almost identical with what THE CALL has already advanced on the subject. Senator Shoup said: “I am loyal at all times to the free and unlimited coinage of the white metal at a ratio of 16 to 1, and will always work for the interests of my constituency, but I believe the best plan for the people to pur- sue is to elect free silver men to Congress from the old established parties, until a working majority insures the passage of a free coinage bill.” Congressman Bowers declared: “I will stick to silver and work for it, but strictly within the lines of my party. There is no good that can come from bolting the Republican ticket. The fway to accomplish the hopes of free coin- age adherents is to work in the party until a majority may be won, as the gold adher- ents have won this time,” No Republican who has an intelligent comprehension of the sitnation can doubt the wisdom of the policy proposed. Noth- ing can be gained for the cause of free coinage by leaving the Republican party. As a matter of fact, the voters of the great centers of population are thinking more of work and wages than of any other financial question. The issue to which their thoughts and energies are directed is the establishment of a protective tariff and a revival of industry. That is the meaning of the popular uprising for Mc- Kinley and the enghusiasm with which his nomination at Louis has been everywhere ratified and commended. Congressman Bowers gave an accurate summary of the situation in saying: “The American people never had a good chance to test the difference between protection and something eise until the Wilson bill went into effect. The change has been so appalling 1n all kinds of business that Democrats as well as Republicans are go- ing to have protection.” That is the con- dition that confronts us. Capitalists, business men, workingmen and laborers all feel the need of a restoration of the American industrial svstem before we can enter upon any monetary reforms. We | must first make secure and comfortable the homes of the people. We must open the shops, set the wheels turning and give every man a chance to earn a living. The people demand that much and the de- msnd is just. All loyal protectionists, therefore, must stay with the party in this fight—we can settle the silver question later on. THE DISGRUNTLED. When a Republican begins to predict de- feat for McKinley and Hobart in Califor- nia because the St. Louis platform does not declare unqualifiedly for this or that policy, he will be found, upon scratching his back, to be merely disgruntled over failure to get exactly what he very much wanted. When a man advertises that de- feat is staring his party in the face, ac- cording to his best judgment, a very loose and hasly analysis of his character would be quite enough to base the opinion upon that he is a partisan to the extent of his opportunity to use the party to further his own aims, Ingratitude is said to be an expression of the lowest and most degraded attribute of the human heart. It matters not whether itfinds play in social, business or political life, it is none the less to be condemned, denounced and hated. But there is a spirit of manliness in nearly every one that is quick to detect under the law of attraction and repulsion the inner and secret purpose of such an individual. It is an insult to the intelligence of Cali- fornians of all creeds and parties to say that any of them are so weak and uncer- tain of purpose as to be moved to open or secret rebellion against their party simply because they are not altogether pleased with the policy the party will pursue in the solution of certain economic problems. When it comes to a matter of honest con- victions a manly man would boldly say why he could no longer co-operate with his old party. It is the dishonest man who retains his connection with his party to sow seeds of doubt, fault-finding and apathy. In truth, the rank and file of the Repub- lican party of California were never more enthusiastic, never more determined, never better satisfied with their National candi- dates than now. One need but read the account of the outpouring of the people in every town and city of the State on last Saturday night to ratify the nominations of McKinley and Hobart to know where the Republican party stands. Shouts of joy and satisfaction were heard through- out the length and breadth of the com- monwealth over the work of the St. Louis convention. Patriotism, protection and prosperity is the battie-cry. Dost thou think, because thou art (not) virtuous, there shall be no more cake and ale ? Yes, by Saint Anne, and ginger shall hot ¥’ the mouth, too. JAPAN'S PURPOSE. In a very practical and substantial way, without ostentation, Japan is forging ahead in the direction of all kinds of man- ufacturing industries, and already her busi- ness men have shown great apiness in carrying forward commercial and other business enterprises on a large scale. This is bound to place the empire in time in the attitude of a strong competitor in all the markets of the world. It may not be generally known, but is nevertleless true, that next to the United States, Germany and Russia, Japan comes with the largest home population of what some one calls “the up to dste nations.” And it is also true of Japan that her middle or working class are an ingenious, industrious and frugal people who take great delight in turning ont better factory products than some of their Christian competitors can, or rather do. The greatest progress Japan has made in the industries will be found in cotton fabrics, although woolen goods and fin- ished iron and leather products are in- creasing in volurae right along. In 1888 the Japanese varn miils turned out 8,000,- 000 pounds and 147,000,000 pounds last year. During the period between the be- ginning of 1888 and the end of 1895 there was a shrinkage in yarn imports of 43,500,- 000 pounds, or from 63,000,000 pounds to 19,500,000 pounds. Japan’s cotton-mill fabric output shows a still greater increase. {n the three years ended December 31, 1805, the import of raw cotton for home manufacture in- creased from 106,500,000 pounds to 182,- 500,000 pounds. Most of this raw material was drawn from India and China. In fact, practically all of it was drawn from those countries, for the mills confined their product to such coarse fabrics as are used in Asia, but meanwhile the Japanese mill-owners drew some cotton from America for experiment. They believed l that they could make as good and as fine | cotton cloth as England or the United States, and how well they are succeeding 18 told in their own statements, which show that 10 per cent of the entire raw cotton imported last year was grown in the cotton fields of this country. In this connection it may be said that Japan is now turning out as fine and as good cotton yarns and fabrics as will be seen in Eng- lish or American mills. - But thisis not all. Japan is spreading out into the widest fiela of industry—from building the largest of ships to the smallest of pins—not wholly, but only in small part for home consumption. The purpose is to compete everywhere—in the goods and wares market of San Francisco with our home industrial products. And can Japan do this successfully? That de- pends upon ourselves. The cost of land- 1ing American raw material in Japan is comparatively light. Japan’s schedule of wages ranges from 35 per cent to 75 per cent below wages paid in this country, and the difference between what an American and a Japanese workman spends for living purposes is equally great. This answers the question, “Can Japanese manufacturers compete with us in our markets?”’ The negessity, therefore, for every workingmau to be active, vigilant and determined in the good work of pro- tecting American homes should be ap- parent. It is to do this—to protect Ameri- can homes—that the Republican party is in existence. WHITNEY'S PLEA. William C. Whitney’s plea for the salva- tion of the Democratic party is a confes- sion as well as an argument. He says a crisis like as in 1860 is upon the party and he predicts that it will be crushed next November as it was thirty-six years ago. The party is united, he says, upon every question ot National policy except the one of free silver coinage, which is true, but thatis quite enough to prevent harmonious and undivided action upon the other prin- ciples of government. The fact is, the party has outlived its usefulness. It has failed to keep abreast of the times. It still plows with a “bull-tongue” and thrashes with a flail. It refuses to learn by experience or observation. The earth is flat, the sun moves and the Democratic party wears its coat ‘‘all buttoned up be- fore,”” as Old Father Grimes wore his, But while admitting the deplorable con- dition of his party and foreseeing almost certain humiliating defeat in November, to be followed by disintegration, Mr. Whitney does not altogether lose hope. He is not heels over head in the mad waves of despair, though be is nearly des- perate and discouraged enough to sink and let the waters cover forever his ambi- tion to be President of the United States. He advises the Chicago convention to for- mnulate a Joseph’s coat kind of a platform —a mixture of declarations of principles to blend so verfectly in harmony, or rather would appear so at a distance, that the very elect would be willing to swear that it was the work of the reincarnated minds of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. In other words, Mr. Whitney would have the Chicago platform so adroitly straddle the silver question that the goldites would order a banquet served to celebrate their victory and the silverites would sing hymns of praise to the Giver of every good and perfect gift for giving the enemy over into their hands—a platiform fashioned after an old game of chance, “Now you see it and now you don’t.” Mr. Whitney recited the fact, which everybody but Teller, Boies and Bland has known for a long time, that the countries of the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Holland and Belgium are ready to hold an international congress to devise ways and means to reinstate silver in the monetary system of the world of commerce and trade and secunty invest- ment, and that Great Britain is rapidly drifting toward the same purpose, and that in the near future a congress of the nations will be held and bimetallism ac- cepted as the basis of redemption money. But Mr. Whitney merely elaborated the meaning of the St. Louis platform. The Republican party is solemnly pledged to use the mighty influence of the United States to hasten the calling of the nations of the commercial world in conference to prepare a stable and lasting monetary sys- tem that shall be the same everywhere, meantime to not disturb the existing sys- tem. The Republican party is as much of a bimetallic party as it is a protection party, but it will take a little time to dis- entangle the snarls into which the Demo- cratic party’s incapacity has placed the country. The purpose of Mr. Whitney is to first blind the rank and file of his party by the glare of highly burnished subterfuge, eva- sion and bypocrisy, and then inveigle them into his gold trap, for his wing of the Democratic party is for the gold standard now and forever: The leaders of the wing are, for the most part, those who toil not, neither do they spin. They live upon investments, and the greatest labor they perform is clipping coupons from their bonds. Such individuals look upon silver as plebeian money, but they can- not fool anybody with their talk about bimetallism. As we have said, the £t. Louis platform contemplates a bimetallic currency at the earliest possible moment, but meanwhile it thinks it best not to fly from ills we have to others we know noth- ing about. The “Dollar of our. Daddies” will be in evidence and the Republican party will issue the mandate that shall make it as good a dollar of redemption as any other kind of a dollar. THE BUSINESS SITUATION. The business situation bere in San Fran- cisco grows stronger and more encourag- ing. As compared with last year the vol- ume of inland merchandise distribution 1s larger and includes all lines of season- able articles. Country merchants are buy- ing full lines, whereas last year, and for three years in fact, their purchases were largelv contined to replenishing old stocks. There is also satisfactory improvement in country collections, and, generally speak- ing, tliere is a better feeling and a larger degree of confidence in the presentand fu- ture of business than has been observed for three years. The ocean trade, foreign and coastwise, is about 20 per cent greater than at this time last year, and the opinion in com- mercial circles is that there will be sub- stantial improvement right along. There are a good many engagements being made of ships to take away the new wheat crop, but rates are a trifle higher, which is not pleasing. Chinacontinues to take silver in fairly large quantities. The trouble among the Columbia River fishermen and packers is causing considerable shrinkage in the salmon trade, and no little loss will be sustained thereby. Offerings of com- mercial paper for discount are not heavy, and it may be said that prime loans and discounts are wanted by the banks. Congressman Bowers was right 1n say- ing: “There is no good can come from bolting the Republican ticket. The way to accomplish the hopes of free-coinage adherents 1s to work in the party until a majority may be won, as the gold ad- herents have won this time.” PERSONAL. C. L.

COST OF A CONVENTION. Chilcaro News. Some surprising calculations have been made a8 to the cost of the big convention just closed in St. Louis. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars was contributed by the Citi- zens' League. The cbst of the hallalone was $75,000, and although 1t will last for years it is chargeable to the convention of 1896 Other bills are the expenses of the sergeant-a arms of the convention, various printing ac- counts, cleaning the hall each night, its light- ing, fees for police and fire protection, big postage bilis and a theusand other things. The expenses of the sergeant-at-arms were large. Hehad been in St. Louis some time and had busy day and right an army of type- writers who occupied an entire suite of rooms at a hotel. But the money expended by the Citizens’ League is a mere bagatelle to what was spent by the delegates and visitors. There were over 1000 delegates and alter- nates, who, with their followers and friends; made & totel of some 2000 directly interested. With the reporters, messengers, etec., the entire number reached at least 3000. It is estimated each of these men spent $100 in addition to his railroad fare, and if so the total of money in circulation in St. Louis by the visitors was $£300,000. Add to this the expenses of the telegraph companies and big o&;eu associa- non: and around sum of $500, will be the result. This is a large sum, but is not the limit. Be- sides the 3000 men there were 100,000 visi- tors, who probably spent $250,000 for railroad fare, and how much more they spent aiter they reached their destination depended, of course, upon their individual et-books. Three dollars a day may be considered a small amount for each, and something over £3,000,- 000 is the result of adding this to the previous sum. Then there is the cos. of brass bands, of sending - the news to the papers, the cost of thousands of private telegrams and 1nnumer- able other things, which will bring the total up to $4,000, . This $4,000,000 would build four battleships. ‘ f the $4,000,000 were to be paid out in dol- lar bills and the bills made into a carpet the cn?et would be 1000 1eet long, 650 feet wide and cover 15 acres, and the Capitol at Wash- ington, if set down in the middle of it, would appear as a toyhouse in the centerof a big rug. Four million dollars in gold piled ina vyramid 4 feetat the base wouid be 5 feet high. In silver doliars, with a base 10 teet square, the pyramid would be 15 feet high. The cigars smoked by the 100,000 who went to St. Louis, allowing five cigars a day a piece, would be 3,500,000 and would makea pile of 70,000 boxes of 50 each and this pile would be 215 miles high, Placed end to end the 3,500 « 000 cigars would reach 248 miles. Ata three- for-a-quarter price they would cost $291,666. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. POPULISTS WARNED. MACHIAVELLIAN WORK—DECEPTION IN REGARD 7O TELLER. To the Editor of the San Francisco Call—SIR: Every intelligent and ardent Populist who has only read the Associated Press news dispatch purporting to give the address of National Chairman Taubeneck and other leading Pop- ulists of the country in favor of making Sen- ator Teller the Presidential candidate of the People’s party is certainly in a maze of doubt, tinged with indignation; for the whole force of the address implies that they have gone daft on the single silver issue, and he sees that whatever influence the address will have as thus reported will tend to divide and dis- Learten true and loyal Populists. Butlo! what a change steals over his heart and illu- mines his mind as he reads that addressin full as sent over the wires by the United Press News Agency and pubiished in tne colamns of THE CALL this (Sunday) morning! Permit me to say that THE CALL has done the Populists of this whole coast a service which they will highly apureciate when they fully understand the value and character of that service simply #s regards this one dispatch, headed “Teller to Lead the Populists,” and I ask unusual space for this letter that I may expose the treachery and dishonor of this Associated Press service. Indeed it is & matter of serious importance to all honoreble men, be they Republicans, Dem- ocrats or Pofulis!s, 10 have the true but skill- fully concealed purpose of tnis conscienceless news agency fully disclosed, thereby to some extent neutralizing its baleful influence. On _comparing closely the address as pub- lished this morning in the Examiner and Chronicle, whose news service is thstof the Associated Press, with that published in THE CALL, a8 wired by United Press News Agency, Ifind it a glaring and dastardly case of “sup- pressioveri,” in which the half-truth, told with Machiavellisn cunning and duplicity, sur- passed downright falsehood in the effect it was intended to produce, and has indeed pro- duced where this garbled dispatch alone has been read. In order to render the exposure complete, a word of explanation is needed for readers who do not understana the attitude of earnest Populists toward “fusion” of any kind on the silver issue or any other issue. Until recently National Chairman Taubeneck has been under grave suspicion of & desire to surrender the Populist party to the silverites by an abandgnment of all other Populist issues ior the sole issue of free silver coinage, but he has just set himself right with most Populists by the publication of a frank and manly letter in which he unequivocally denies the charge and outiines a course of action in full accord with the views of the People’s party; and now comes this dispatch through the news service of the Associated Press and places him and other prominent Populists in a worse light than ever, indicating that they have rushed headlong aiter Senator Teller as a single silver plank candidate for the Presidency. No acts of theirs could pe more offensive to all loyal and _true Populisis than this would be if they were guilty of it. But they are not; they are loyal, true, manly, oven-hearted and grandly patriotic in the ad- dress a8 published in THE CALL, but they are made to appear in quite another light in the dispatch published in the Examiner and Chronicle by the omission of the paragraphs which define the attitude of Senator Teiler toward the Populist party, the one vital thing for Populists to know, but which was so adroitly and completely suppressed by the trained and talented deceivers in the service of the Associated Press, the most malign agency controlled by the gold men for delud- ing and confusing & trusting people to secure their votes, so that they themselves shall give the gold oligarchy a new lease of power. The reader is now prepared to understand in a measure the treachery and dishonor of this mnhfinln& news agency in omitting this paragraph: A coincident of fear, of hope, of conviction, al- ready exists among Inteliigent and observany people. Political division alone creates au obstacle tounity of purpose and harmony of action be- tween them. ‘The duty of every patriot is {0 re- move this obstacie, 50 far as it can be, by bonor- able concessions and ceasonable sacrifices. These do not contemplate even the thought of merging our party into any other or the sligntest {mpair- ment of lis efficiency: but, alone, for the sake of humanity and to avert, if possible, the disasters which the supremacy of the money DOWer now s0 menacingly forebodes, to secure the union of good citizens who think alike upon the important 15sues of financlal reform, in behalf of the election of a Preside nt who In spirit is antagonistic to none of the fundamental principles of our party and Das openly engaged in the most sturdy advocacy of our chiefest measures. Mark well the purport of these last words: “A President who in spirit is antagonistic to noue of the fundamental principles of our party and has openly engaged in the most sturdy advocacy of our chiefest measures.”’ How eagerly every Populist_in the land will rasp at that assurance! How cunning the and that struck it out of the address! Iwill inclose in brackets [ ] the portion omitted from the following paragraph: We see In the private and official life of Henry M. Teller a beacon, brightly burning, warning the ople Off the threatening shores of dissension. e has but now publiciy abandoned the Repub- lican party, with which he has been associated since its first organization [entering it when led by conscience to strive for the overthrow of human bondage and leaving it when Lincoln's teachings were swallowed np in the greed and cruelty of the money kings. For twenty vears he bas Leena commanding figure in the Nation's life, a Cabinet officer und Senator of the United States. Nomi- nally a Republican, he has many times openly de- fied his party when its members sought to make It an instrument of injustice and oppression]. It required littie political sagacity to discern the reason for the omission of the bracketed portion of the foregoing paragraph. But here ollows another paragraph which was sup- pressed because of its extreme accepuability and vital interest to Populists, and, I would fain hope, to a large majority of both Republi- cans and Democrats, as the only safe and patriotic view to be taken of the money ques- tlon, which reads as follows: For twenty years he has stood as a bulwark sgainst the tyrannical encroachments of the Na- tionai banks: be has never hesitated to declare that they should be deprived of all authority to issue money aud 10 contrpl its volume: he is an unfiincning advocate of the duty of the Govern- ment to malntain and exercise exclusively for the people the sovereign power of emitting all money— gold, silver and paper. He holds that to issue bonds in time of peace is & stupendous wrong to the people and the country. Populists are now able to see what they expect from the news service ot the Associ Press, while on the other hand the news ser- vice of THE CALL, that of the United Press, has given the address without mutilation, and THE CALL has published it in full, although it sup- ports McKinley and the platiorm on which he stands, and #s in duty bound also whacks away in good style atthe Populists. This is certainly broad-gauge journalism such as is rarely seen in any part of the world. Ina word, THE CALL speaks {or all and with & large and true American tolerance worth of all com- mendation.

There is more truth than poetry in the fol- lowing trom the Redding Free Press: *Re- publicans will adopt a gold platform; the Democrat8 a silver platform. If the Populists indorse the Democratic candidate they kill their party and organization. if they do not, but nominate a candidate on a silver platform they divide the silver vote.

Spreckels on the National Committee in 1896. Itis a valuable number for reference for all persons who desire to keep posted in polities. BEAT ALL RECORDS. Redlands Citrograph. The Examiner has been in the habit of scooping its rivals in convention times by sending out special trains. THE CALL didn’t like it, but said@ nothing and sawed wood. This week THE CALL sent out a special to Sacramento that beat all previous records, placing their papers in that city at 4:23, one hour end a half ahead of all others. And Charley Shortridge only smiled when he re- ma&-xed: “THE CALL is only beginuing; wait and see.” LADY'S SHIRT WAIST. A very pretty ard stylish shape is shown in this shirt waist.
