PATRIOTISM, PROTECTION and PROSPERITY. FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Ohio FOR VICE-PRESIDENT— GARRET A. HOBART, of New Jersey ELECTION NOVEMBER 3, 1896. There will be no profit in free silver without an industrial system that puts it into circulation. e ‘What will it profit the American work- ingman to vote for Bryan and lose his work and wages? Don’t forget tbat the political duty of the hour is registration. See that your friends attend to it. If Bryan snould be elected his Cabinet would be pudding for anarchists, but poor stuff for good citizens. The Silver Convention was called to start a National movement, but effected nothing but a Democratic wiggle. The only way to get silver into the hands of the people is to revive industry and the payment of wages. From the length of time Whitney and his friends stay on the barbed-wire fence it would seem they are stuck on it. Free silver in the hands of statesmen is one thing, but free silver in the hands of blatherskites is quite a different affair. McKinley is truly representative of the patriotism, the honor and the dignity of American manhood; but what does Bryan represent? A good party chorus for the middle-of- the-road Populists would be the words of the old song: *“Shove her up, shove her up to the bolt.” In asking the Democrats of the Fifth District to wash his dirty linen for him, Mr. Kelly shoula furnish them with the soap, or at least with the lye. California needs protection more than she needs silver, as she has gold enough torun ail her industries as soon as they are made profitable by protection. The Examiner says that while Bryan has no war record he has been campaigning in Nebraska, but it neglects to add that his last campaign there ended in a Waterloo. Before any man decides to trust Demo- cratic promises this year he had better consider what resulted from trusting the promises of thesame ty four years ago. By the time goldbng Daggett gets through bossing the silver Democrats they won’t know whether they have been through & campaign or a threshing machine. All the enthusiasm of the campaign so far has been on the side of the Repub- licans, but perhaps the Demoecrats will begin shouting a little later on, when they see they are about to be run over. There may be a few silver Republicans who have bolted the party because they are too impatient to wait for international bimetallism, but there will not be enongh of them to be missed on election day. As the Democratic organs and orators bhave begun denouncing all the business men of the country as plutocrats, it would be interesting to know from what class of citizens they expect to get yotes for their party. From the absence of any sound of crowing in the Democratic camp this year it would seem that all the roosters must have been eaten during the time the party has lived in ciover with the four years of Grover. The gold Democrats are talking of mak- ing a ticket of Paimer of Illinois and Gor- don of Georgia on the principle probably that as both are political back numbers it might be just as well to start a graveyard with them. = S e The issue that affects the farms,the forges und the firesides of the country is a return of good prices for all products and good wages for labor, and every man who possesses sny reasoning faculty knows that these can be accomplished only by restoring statesmen to office and establish- ing a protectiye system. Senator Elkins, who has been a large producer of silver for sixteen years, and is, of course, in favor of the largest possible use of silver, cannot stana the Chicago ticket or the Chicago platform. “Free gov- ernment,”’ he declares, ‘“cannot exist with these forces in theascendency. The party that adopts such & platform is: getting ready to die, or the Republic is,” All sincere Populists who object to sur- rendering their principles and their party organization to the Chicago ticket are de- nounced by Democrats as bolters and bribe-takers, and thus does Democracy make enemies among the very men whose frienaship it needs. As an illustration of Democratic incapacity to do the right thing at the right time this slandering of &'opulists is AREd 10 oAk TWO PROPOSITIONS. Mr. Bryan continues to inform the pub- lic, from one to three times a day, that “the Republican party declared that the gold standard should be maintained until something better could be substituted for it.”” That “‘something,” Mr. Bfyan says, is “‘bimetallism,” which means that *‘the Republican party is for bimetallism.” The Republican party will not object to being called a “bimetallic party,” for that is exactly what it is, but it does not pro- pose to disestablish the present monetary system until there is something better well 1n hand to substitute for it. Mr. Bryan’s plans differ from the Republican plan of securing bimetallism, in that he ‘would first everthrow the existing system and then set about finding something to take its place, and, meanwhile, let com- merce and industry shift for themselves. But Mr. Bryan is unfair, in that he does not ada, when he says the Republican party is for bimetallism, that its platform Weclares very emphatically that the party “is "unreservedly for sound money.” He could not do that, however, for he would then admit that his party is for unsound money, which it is. In quoting from the Republican platform Mr. Bryan’s purpose is to show that the difference between his party and the Republican party on the money question is in choosing methods to reach 2 common end, and in that he is quite right. His party is for bimetallism, as is the Republican party, but his plan would work to first establish silver mono- metallism by driving goid out of the monetary system. He wonld try to create a value for silver twice as high as the commerce of the world is willing to admit it possesses. Mr. Bryan denies that supply has any- thing to do with values. They should be fixed by a zovernmental edict. He refuses to see that with a total world’s silver pro- duction of 61,000,000 ounees in 1873 the sil- ver in an American dollar had a market valué of $1 03 to$1 04, and that in 1895 the enormous production of 165,000,000 ounces were put upon the market and that the price fell to 53 cents for the quantity con- tained in a silver dollar, because of the great increase in the snpply of white metal. Had Mr. Bryan’s theories anything prac- tical in them the increase in ounces pro- duced would not have been confronted by a decrease in value. In 1894 the United States produced, in round numbers, 170,- 000,000 bushels of potatoes, which sold ‘at an average price of 53 cents a bushel, but in 1895 the production ran up to over 400,- 000,000 bushels, and the price dropped to 26 cents a bushel. Had Mr. Bryan been President in 1895, with the machinery of Government running in harmony with his economic theories, potatoes should have sold at 53 cents a bushel instead of 26 cents, and the amount of white metal con- tained in a silver dollar should have been worth §1 03 to $1 04 instead of 53 cents. If the Government by its fiat can control the price of one product of the ground it cer- tainly can control the price of all products of the ground. Potato-growers should exact a pledge from Mr. Bryan that he will not overlook their products while en- gaged in doubling the price of the products of hills and mountains, The Republican party dees not believe it can, nor does it intend to try to regulate the market price for gold, silver, potatoes or any other article, but inasmuch as a larger volume of redemption money is needed to meet the increasing require- ments of the world’s commerce it proposes to bring all parties in interest together to provide for this increasing money demand by adding silver to the monetary system now prevailing under an agreement that shall make gotd and sitver dollars inter- changeable on their own'account where- ever they meet in any channel or avenue of trade, traffic and commerce. This would be bringing the two metals together upon a common basis of employment waich would make a bimetallic and the only true bimetallic monetary system. This plan does not contemplate the Government’s flat, but a mutnal agreementi between users of money. Bimetallism, as advo- cated by the Republican party, isa com- mon, every-day, wide-awake business proposition, and itis neither mysterious nor impossible. DEMOCRATIC BULLDOZING. The let'er from Joseph Asbury John- son published in Tue CaLn yesterday gives a forcible statement of the position in which sincere and earnest Populists find themselves at St. Louis. Mr. John- son, in addition to being a correspondent of THE CaLL, is one of the delegates to the Populist convention from this State, and is one of the féremost leaders of the party on this coast. A sincere believer in the principles of his party and a stalwart sup- porter of its organization, he went to St. Lonis earnestly desirous of bringing about some form of union of all the silver forces during the campaign. How he and his friends have been received there can be best stated in the following quotations from his letter: The only way in which I have heard or seen Populists alluded to in this city is in terms of absolute contempt and the lowest form of criminal slander by Bryanized Populists of the Senator allen type and silver bulldozers of every type. * * * Itisagreatstrain onthe ‘meagnanimity of self-respeciing Populists to hold on patiently under contumely and brazen effrontery grossly thrust upon them in the mewspapers and in all public places. * * * TIstood for an hour to hear Benator Allen lay down the law to Populists and name the penalties for failure to obey it. If we de- cline to rush at his bidaing into the Bryan camp it is proof that we have seen Mark Han- na’s agents or are waiting to see them. 1 can recall no ocession in my life when my soul was assaulted, my manhood assailed, my con- victions outrsged and my indignation so wrathfully aroused as while listening to these unmanly, dishonorable and unprovoked charges fall from the lips of a man whom Populists have felt so proud to honor and who was put a few days since their first choice for the Presidency. This is not the way thatleads to union. It will be seen from this statement that the tactics of the Democratic tools at St. Louis are identical with those pursued by the bosses toward the goid men at Chi- cago. Tillman and Altgeld are not present at St. Louis, but the spirit of their domi- nation rules their followers who are there. Not a single offer of conciliation is made. Every one who differs from the plan of the bosses is denounced as a bribe-taker, a boodler, & tool of corruption. As Russell, Whitney sund Hill were howled down by | the mob at Chicago so it now seems are the earnest leaders among the Yopulists to be bulldozed at 8t. Louis, This second display of the enraged gpirit that now controls the Democratic party is full of instruction for the American peo- pie. Men who cannot conciliate their fellow men, or reason calmly upon differ- ences of opinion, or recognize the honesty of those who hold diverse views, are un- fitted to be intrusted with the manage- ment of any government. Finding them- selves in power at Chicago they split their own party and insulted the ablest leaders with the coarseness of ignoble natures, and now in 8t. Louis, though they must be aware of the necessity of the Populist alli- ance in order to carry any Western State, they proceed with an equal insolence and coarseness to insult, mock, siander and- thorship platform. humiliate $he Y8ry Mmen Whowo iriendsbip ' body is proud of it ox deaixes to cialm i, is necessary to them. ‘Well, indeed, was it written: “Whom the gzods wonld de- stroy they first make mad.”” g ABOUT FREE TRADE. Notwithstanding wreck and ruin bad followed in the wake of the Democratic tariff act of 1846, the convention of 1856, which nominated Bucharan, declared for a still lower tariff, or, as the platform put it, *‘free s nd progressive free trade throughout the world,”” Mr. Buchanan was elected and there immediately fol- lowed one of the worst comumercial and financial panics that ever visited this country. It lasted four years and every industry, business and financial establish- ment in the land suffered enormonsly. In his last message, beiore giving way to Mr. Lincoln, President Buchanan said: “With unsurpassed plenty in all the productions and in all the elements of natural wealth, our manufacturers have suspended; our public works are retarded; our private en- terprises of different kinds are abandoned and thousands of useful laborers are thrown out of employment and reduced to want. We haye possessed all the elements of material wealth in rich abundance, and yet, notwithstanding all these advantages, our country, in its monetary interests, is in a deplorable condition.” In his last message to Congress Mr. Buchanan had the honesty to admit that not only bad the free-trade policy of the Democratic party failed to provide suffi- cient revenue to maintain the Government by over $77,000,000, but that iz had left ‘‘anutterable misery and ruin’ in its wake. The next object lesson in Demo- cratic free trade is now before the people. Between the retirement of Buchanan and the election of a Democratic Presidentand Congress, which came into power in 1893, the country increased in population more than 100 per cent and in material wealth more than $50,000,000,000. Since the re- peal of the tariff act of 1890 the people have had more than a taste of what the Democratic party gave the country during its administration from 1897 to 1861, but what is called the “new Democracy” is now before the country asking to be com- missioned to not only continue -the old party’s tanff policy, but to give the people an uncertain and most doubtful monetary system, This is a nation of sovereigns, and if they want the misery that was sent upon them by Buchanan and Cleveland roured out upon them in greater and in more disastrous quantity let them shout and vote for Bryan. IT IS THE PEOPLE'S WAY. The celebration of the founding of Cleveland, Ohio, 100 years ago, brought thousands of people to that city, and although it was noi intended that the event should partake of a political char- acter in any sense, there was a demon- stration in honor of Major McKinley, who was one of the speakers, that dwarfed the real purpose of the gathering. After re- viewing the mighty strides of the city in recent years more especially, and giving due honor to the beroism of the first set- tiers of Northern Ohio, the regular meet- ing adjourned when there was a spontan- eous uprising of people of all parties to show their appreciation of the splendid character whom the Republican party had chosen to lead the country out of the chaotic condition into which it unfor- tanately had been inveizled by experi- mental economic theorists. It cannot be said that the demonstration would have been timely under ordinary circumstances, bnt when men rise up freed from party allegiance and express their satisfaction at seeing one in whom they rely to give new and positive empha- sis to the importance of ever holding the prosperity of Americans the paramount duty, there need be no apology for show- ing forth their Americanism. In splendid good taste Major McKinley made no refer- ence whatever to the political contest which is now engaging the attention of the people, but the very fact that he stood there the representative of true patriotism, complete protection to American interes and deep-rooted prosperity for all tl people, it was natural that political affili; tions should be forgotton and that the people should give expression of their pleasure at seeing the man upon whom they rely to bring back that tone, charac- ter and independence to our institutions which are their inheritance. LANDLORD ALTGELD. Whatever else may be said of Aligeld it cannot be said that he is careless or indif- ferent in the management of his vast estate. He Is reported to be worth $4,000,- 060, which is mostly invested in Chicago improved real estate. Naturally, he hasa large rentroll, but there are people who will be surprisea when they are informed that Mr. Altgeld confines his free-silver coinage at 16 to 1 to the political side of his life. The Unity block is one of the most valuable office and store buildings in Chicago. Itis true that it is owned by a company, but Altgeld is the president of the company and controls the majority of the stock. There are many tenants, and each one is required to sign a lease, so as to make sure that he is bound to the build- ing company. It now transpires that this great and sincers advocate of silver coinage obliges every tenant to obligate himself to pay his rent ‘“in standard gold of the United States.” Thus is the low cunning and double character of the man exposed. ‘When playing upon the credulity of the unthinking for personal political gain he cries for free silver coinage and tells how the “'goldbugs” are driving the poor into still deeper poverty, and how their oniy salvation lies in supporting himself and his allies at the polls, but when it comes to his private business affairs he is a prince among ‘‘goldbugs,” even to the extent of requiring renters of his property to pay their rent 1n gold. Well, Altgeld isa representative man of the Bryan school of bimetallists, and unless the people rise in their might and overthrow Altgeld, Bryan and the new Democracy, they will prove themselves to be unwortby of the rightsof freemen. 1t should be remembered that Cleveland refused to make any attempt to establish international bimetallism and ignored a resolution of Congress calling for a con- ference of the nations on the subject, and yet the men who elected Cleveland are now .posing as the friends of free silver and denouncing thoss who propose to establish it by international agreement. The New York World figures out that on a free-silver platform a Democratic candi- date can carry only 182 electoral votes, and possibly only 120. The showing is not flattering, but it is probably better than could be made by the candidate on any other platform. Bear in mind tbat the Republican is pledged to bimetallism, that McKinley is a genuine bimetallist, and you will un- derstand why all conservative silver men will vote for him. - e ] T\han will be no dispute over the au- of the Democratic No- PERSONAL.
