PATRIOTISM, PROTECTION and PROSPERITY. FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Oblo ‘FOR VICF-PRESIDENT— GARRET A. HOBART, of New Jersey ELECTION NOVEMBER 3, 1896. —— e “Is thi nomination I see before me,” says Watson, “'or a dream?" If the Populists vote at all this year they will have to vote for spite. If Bryan really does not want that nomi- nation he had better send it to Grover for bait. The Populist ratification meetings are going to be among the liveliest humors of the season. Sewall will have to stand, for the simple reason that he cannot sit down after the Populist kick. Now is the time for alert Republicans to begin to hunt up the laggards and make them register. The Democratic donkey has the satis- faction of knowing he kicked the Populist cart sky-high anyhow. Many an old war Democrat will support McKinley and oppose anarchy as bravely as he opposed disunion. The free coinage of campaien literature 1s going rapidly on upon a ratio of pamph. lets to the voter of about 16 to 1. It the goldbug Democrats will now get together and give their exhibition the campaign will take rank as the gayest on record. Don Cameron’s platform is terse and businesslike. He says: “Ishall vote for McKinley. Iam for free silver, but I'm not a fool.” The Populists will now have to make a strong figh: for their State and Congres- sional tickets. If they lose them they are gone coons, Senator Daniel of Virginia is on his way to Europe. He indorses Mr. Bryan of course, but evidently prefers to let some one else work for him. It conservative Democrats do not like to join Republican clubs they onght to or- ganize clubs of their own and. work for business and prosperity. By way of beginning the amenities of the campaign, a Gold Democrat in New York suggests that the Chicago nomina. tion should be called the pickpocxket ticket. Bryan's statement: “There will be no sign up to keep off the grass when I am President,” is being widely quoted in the East, and will probably capture Coxey's army to a man, Business men who are uniting for the vrosperity of the Nation should unite also for the prosperity of the City. Let us make it this year a clean sweep for good government all along the line. ‘What was done in the Populist Conven- tion will not have much effect on the cam- paign, but as a matter of passing curiosity a good many people would like to know how it happened to be done that way. 1n writing of the St. Louis Convention, several English papers referred to 8t. Louis as a city in Massachusetts, and now both the cityand the State are denouncing British ignorance as if it were an insult, Professor William G. Sumner of Yale, the notea free-trader, who has long been a pillar of strength to New England Demo- crats, has turned his back on the Bryan crowd, and is reported to have said the action at Chicago was a suicide caused by insanity, The only danger that now confronts the business of the country is the tendency among business men to be too sanguine of the election of McKinley. These people should remember that all discontented perzons are for Bryan and that all of them will vote. British opinion is now so favorable to arbitration with America, there can be no question an international agreement in favor of bimetallism could be reached if we on our side would intrust the matter to conservative statésmen instead of ex- tremists, It is believed that Gorman hopes to be come the actual, if not the nominal, head of the Democratic executive committee, and the argument is that while he is not very eager to elect anvboday there are a good many little foes in the party whom he wishes to m: sure of killing. It is asserted that when Bryan wasa member of Congress he obtained for the Lincoln postoffice a passenger elevator. When this was erected it bad on its front a German silver plate which had engraved upon it: “This elevator was secured by Congressman William J. Bryan.” Tothat extent, therefore, is Bryan's name re- corded as a practical statesman, REPUBLICAN VIOTORY. The assurance ot a sweeping Republican victory in this year’s election which pos- sessed the public mind two months ago has been made more certain by the re- sults of the recent conventions. If the condition of the Democratic party was desperate before its convention met, it is now pitiable. Neversince the nomination of Greeley has it been so divided in its councils or so untrue to its statesmen and its principles. Avandoned by its thought- ful and consistent adherentsand abandon- ing the only leaders who have achieved its victories in the Nationaland State elec- tions of the last thirty years, it has no reason left for existence nor right to suc- cess, The Populist party by the follies of the past few days hes so enmeshed itself in dilemmas, and so entanglea itself with Democracy, that its defeat is equally as- sured. It has stultified its past in the nomination of a Democrat, who has al- ready refused to stand upon its platform, and by so doing it has abandoned the very principles which gave it birth. If Popu- lism is not the party of extreme paternal- ism it is nothing. Its propbet and its priest was Edward Bellamy, and its later apostles have been the advocates of Gov- ernment control over the great agencies of production and trade. These doctrines are the extreme an- titheses of Democracy and Bryan as a Democrat cannot adopt them without treason to the chief tenet of the Demo- cratic party. The result is seif evidant. In the indorsement of a candidate who does not indorse it the Populist party has invited defeat in the first National cam- paign wherein it had a hope or chance of success. In order to make disaster more certain, both for itself and for the Democrats, the Populist party repudisted the running mate of Bryan and named a Vice-Presi- dential candidate of its own. This of necessity divides the vote for Bryan, as well as for Sewall and Watson, in every State and thus insures Repab- lican electors in each doubtful one at least. It also furnishes a reasonable hope of Republican success in the South and makes such great States as New York, Iilinois and Indiana no longer doubtful. The consequence is easily foreseen. The thoughtful and order-loving people of the Nation are turning to the Republican party as their only means of escape from the evils of depression and distress into which the Democratic blundering of the past three years has plunged kh!e country. They will no more trust the Populists with the keeping of the Republic’s order and honor that they would have trusted the Democrats again. They will vote for & change to the patriotism, protection and prosperity of Republican rule. It is this growing feeling which makes more cer- tain every day the election of McKinley and the triumph of the principles of na- tional honor and duty which he repre- sents, THAT “OROWN OF THORNS.” The crown of thorns which Bryan said should not be placed upon the brow of labor now ornaments the bowed head of Populism, and in a little while it will be jammed down to the eyes and ears. Poor betrayed Populism! Let it sing: It 13 80 $00n that 1 am done for, 1 wonder what I was begun for. The Populist National Committee is clothed with almost plenary power, and it is dominated by Bryan's professional tricksters and manipula- tors. Naturally the next move will be to withdraw Watson and leave the field clear to the Maine National banker and oppressor of labor. Already Bryan’s managers are claiming that the Populist Convention thrust the nomination upon him, and conzequently he is that party’s candidate without pledge or promise of any sort, so far as the platform is con- cerned. Then, if that be so, what was the sense of formulating a declaration of prin- ciples? The fact is, the Populist United States Senator from Nebraska, William V. Allen, manipulated with treacherous intent the most diabolical conspiracy against the members of his own political household that ever disgraced a party organization. No doubt the majority of the delegates went to St. Louis filled with honest desire to formulate s platform and nominate a ticket close upon the lines the party has adhered to from the beginning, but they were no match for Bryan’s bunco-steerers, and before they knew it they had parted with all their party's valuables, and not only that, but they found themselves pledged to help the feliow who nad fleeced them in a game to bunce the whole coun- try. But the Populists will do nothing of the kind. They were fooled in convention, but they will not be fooled at the pollis. While their principles of government are communistic and antagonistic to what the fathers of the Republic had in mind, it is nevertheless true that the ‘‘middle-ol-the- road” Populist is, generally speaking, an ideal American citizen, barriig this one economic fallacy. Asa rule the Populist isa hard-working man, a frugal man, a temperate man, a law-observing man, a determined defender of personal liberty and a man with whom humanity is his neighbor. When such a man awakens to the fact that be has been played upor. and deceived, and his honest efforts made to mock him, think you he will show no resentment? Wait and see. OUR CONVENTION REPORTS. Early in June Tue Caiy dispatched & corps of staff correspondents to report the proceedings of the Republican, the Demo- cratic, the Populist and the Silver Na- tional conventions. The conventions are now historical events, but the readers of TaE CaLy are familiar with them all. It is doubtful if the readers of a newspaper ever before bad such a clear and compre- hensive chronicle of passing happenings, but nothing less was to be expected of such a corps of news gatherers. Every member of it is a graphic writer, but what is more and better is, be knows what news is and how to communicate it that it may be the most easily understood. No doubt the readers of Tur CarrL ob- served all daring the time leading up to and during the sitting of the several con- ventions that the forecasts of coming events by our correspondents were marvelously accurate, 50 much so indeed that the reader knew in advance what would be done in convention. - But the convention work was not all that was transmitted to Tue Carry for the benefit of its readers. Not only the nomi- nees of the several parties were promptly interviewed, but distinguished men from all parts of the country were persuaded to give their views upon current questions to Tue Cari's resders. In fact, not an item of important news escaped. 'The several conventions are now past events, but those who bave preserved filesof Tur CavLy have a full and reliable history of perhaps the most interesting, if not the most critical, epoch in the*Nation’s life since the founda. tion of the Government, which could not be duplicated. - No doubt not a few readers of Tne Car THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JULY 27. 1896. wonder how such correct likenesses of prominent men were obtained. The fact is TuE CALL sent one of its most thorough masters of the art of pen and ink por- traiture to.the scenes of action, and among others Mr. McKinley and Mr. Bryan ac- corded him a private sitting, and that is how THE CavLi eclipsed every other news- paper in the United States in illustration and portraiture. In this connection it is well to remind our readers that the United Press, which serves Tur CaLn with eur- rent news, accomplished more in the way of gatheringand transmitting happenings than the special correspondents of very’ many of the metropolitan dailies. No better service could be rendered, and the occasion gave the United Press the oppor- tunity to prove that it has no competitor worthy of the name. TaE CALL is a newspaper in the broadest and fuallest meaning of the term, but this its patrons know, not only from relying upon it for the news, but by comparison with THE CALL’S contemporaries. THE GOLD OF CALIFORNIA. The State of California has poured into the lap of commerce during the past forty- seven years the enormous sum of over $1,600,000,000 worth of gold.~ It is still an- nually adaing to the wealth of the world an average output from its mines of pure gold equal in value to $12,000,000, and the indications are that it holds within its hills a stored-up treasure which will en- able 1t to maintain this average for an in- definite perioa of time. The last report issued by the State Board of Bank Commissioners discloses the surprising fact that, at the time of the report, there was not to exceed the sum of twenty-five million dollars in gold coin in the State of California. There is probaoly no more than that amonnt at the present time. Where has the gold of California gone? What have the people to show in its place? How can the outflow of the past be checked in the present and future, so that California may keep her gold at home ? These are serious questions, and the State of California cannot hope to be vermanently prosperous until she has answered them all. The first two of these queries find their answer in our history. The gold of California began its outward flow with the very opening of its mines in 1849. It went eastward with its returnming miners and with the ships which brought merchandise to the new and undeveloped State. As the valleys of California were settled by a pastoral people the gold msill went away to bring them finished products which they required, but did not produce. As population increased, this demand kept pace with it, and up to the present day California, with all her diversified productions, has never been able to secure and keep the balance of trade in her favor. This is why her gold flows out annually faster than it flows up and in from the heart of her mountsinsand mines. There is another reason fur the outflow of our California gold. As the industries and trade agencies of the State have expanded great corporations have been formed to control these enterprises and absorb from them the utmost of wealth for their or- ganizers. These corporations found it expedient to borrow money in their in- fancy for the purpose of accelerating their growth. The resuit has been the creation of a large interest-hearing Jdebt, due to the East and the Old World, payable, principal and interest, in gold. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company alone, for example, pays annually the sum of five millions of dollars in goid as interest on its bonds held abroad. This vast out-going stream of gold equals almost balf of the annual gold product of the California mines. Is itsurprising that of its billion and a half of gold production our State has but a beggarly one-sixtieth of that vast sum remaining in 1ts banks and arteries of trade? The third query remains to be answered : How shall California 1n the present and future keep ber gold at home? There is but one way possible to accomplish this result. California must turn the balance of trade in her fayor. But how? By be- coming a manufacturing State. By chang- ing her immense annual product of raw materials into finished products within her own borders, instead of sending them abroad to be made into finished forms and returned to her people for their own con- sumption. By encouraging her citizens to build factories and develop enterprises. By demanding of the Federal Govern- ment that protection of her industries which it has accorded to the Eastern States when they and their manufacturing enterprises were young. This is the way to keep the gold of California at home. This is the way to bring back the wealth which bas flowed out in the years gone by in adverse balances of trade. This is the paramount problem of business and cf politics presented this year to the people of our Golaen State. A GREAT SOHEME. Next to putting the country’s financial system upon a greenback basis Populi deem Government ownership of the rai way and telegraph lines as the more im- portant. The country has had too much experience with a greenback basis for a circnlating money medium to entertain a proposition to return to it, but puablic ownership of railway and telegraph lines has never been tried, and therefore it can- rot be said that experience justifies the rejection of the plan. It would not take a great deal of common-sense, however, to convince one that the party that happens to be in power when the Government takes possession of the railways and tele- graph woula never surrender the Presi- dency and Congress to another party. With the hundreds of thousands of men in the direct employ of the railways, and the hundreds of thousands who make rail- ‘way supplies, having in mind the fact that their jobs were contingent upon re-electing the ‘‘powers that be,” there would be no use in running an opposition ticket. But it would tuke & good deal of money to control the railway and telegraph lines of this country, unless, as has been sug- gested, they be confiscated. The pres- ent capitalization of the railway and telegraph companies is over $11,000,- 000,000. Even with the miats wide open to silver the country would have to issne bonds to the fuil amount in order to pay for the several properties. The debt of all the nations of the earth aggregates less than $30,000,000,000 (thirty billion dollars), and so if we issue bonds to buy the railways and telegraph our public debt would be more than equal to one-third of the mational debt of all the rest of the world. X Now that Mr. Bryan is the candidate for President on the Populist ticket, per- haps he would not mind saying whether or not he is in favor of issuing enough bonds to buy the railway and telegraph lines. It isa very important matter, and his views might be vaiuable at this time. He need not express }:.anu on the ques- tion of returning to the greenback basis for the Nation’s financial system, for everybody knows that he is quite in accord with that ides, and he is known to be one of the original champions of the in- come-tax theory, but he is not on record concerning the issuing of $11,000,000,000 of bonds to buy the raiiweysand telegraph. OOAST EXOHANGES. The Jackson (Amador County) Republican has fuifilled its promise of a daily edition, which made its initial appearance last Thursday. It is & model little paper in every respect, hand- some, well arranged and well edited, and it proudly floats tne banner of McKink: and Hobart. In his first number the editcr says: “‘The object of this paper is to Speak si= times each week, in no uncertain tone, of the vast resources of Amador County end the bright foture for Jackson and the emtire region through which runs the world-famous ‘mother lode.’ We believe that the beginning of & marvelous development, both in. mining and otner industries, has been insugnrated in this section of California, and we propose to cast in our mite and help it aiong as rapidly as possible. Should our venture meet with the spproval and patronage of the people of Ama- dor County sufficient to justify the outlay, the Daily Republican will be enlarged from time to time in a manner ¢"mmensurate with the sup- port it receives, The Lodl Review-Budget has changed hands and comes out with & new brand of politics. George Shoals, the new editor and proprietor, formerly cenducied s Democratic paper in South Dakota. He has tacked the Bryan-Sewall colors to his mast in the Lodi publication. It is opined that town of San Bernardino is a very profitable journalistic field judging from appearances. The Sunm of that place in- forms us that “‘a Populist paper was recently lsunched there and that it is & settled fact that 8 local mining journal will shortly meke its appearance. More than this, it is sald there are to be two new dailies, one Republican and the other Democratic. In fact, thy air lately has been full of newspaper talk. It hasbeen even said that some of the established jour- nals were to change hands, several local capi- talists who had once been engaged in news- paper work in this city contemplating a profite able investment.” Yolo County has a new weekly paper, the Winters Independent, edited by B.J. Waugh. It makes & very respectable appearance and proclaims its mission to be to acquaintthe world at large more fully with the resources of the productive country around Winters and to do battle for the cause of free silver. L. W. Allum, who for the psst three years has been city editor of the Riverside Daily Press, bas vacated that position and will be succeeded by A. F. Clarke, one of the proprie- tors of the paper, who has hitherto been en- geged in editing the Ontario Record, which he and his brother owned and have justsold. Mr. Allum purposes 10 Start & new morning Republican paper in Riverside about August 15, to be called the News. There is rejoicing in Ventura over the gratic fying news that all the formidable obstacles in the way of the proposed Ojal Valley Railroad have been removed, and that the enterprise will be pushed forward with all possible speed. The Ventura Weekly Democrat says of the pro- jected line, which will make Ventura the mar- ket of the fertile valley of the Ojai: *“The $10,000 required of our citizens in cash and right of way is practicaily provided tor. The liberality of our citizens generslly makes a creditable showing, and it is safe to predict that not one of those who have made the Ojai Valley Railroad possitle will regret the part they took in promoting it by means of cash or accessions in the matter of right of way. The right of way, with the exception of a few short gaps, has been secured, and these few property-holders will assuredly be reasonsble and not retard the progress of the project by exorbitant demands. We are suthorized to announce that the building of the road is now acertainty, and its construction will be com- menced by Captain Cross as soon as a few minor details are arranged—probably not later than September 1.’ The Redding Free Press furnishes a timely object lesson in the article which follows: “The.news that the Shasta Lumber Company ‘will start up will be received with gladness by the people ot Round Mountain and Mon tgom- ery Creek. William Ilers, who was here Satur- day, says that the settlers have been having & hard time to make both ends meet, and the starting up of this enterprise not only fur- nishes employment, but gives & home market for produce which the settlers raise. As Major McKinley says, what the people need is some gainful occupation to make them happy and prosperous. Protection is & greater issue aud more reaching in its effects than the free coinage of silver. Manufacturing enterprises in Shasta County make a market for labor and & market for the products of the farm and or- chard. What we n#ed is not more money, but the circulation of the money now held in bank. A demand for lumber makes the in- estment of idle capital in the lumber fields productive of returns to the capitalist and cir- culates money among the people. These 125 men who will be employed by the company will scatter money all through the county. It 1s the policy of the Republican party to restore confidence by passing those laws which pro- tect American products and furnish gainful employment. What has made the lumber trade so dull is the rem of the tariff by a Democratic administration on Canadian lum- ber, bringing the lumber product of & foreign country into competition with ourown lumber and creating a stagnation of the lumber trade.” Ex-Judge Hastie of Clayton, Contra Costa County, while digging for water last week dug into a promising coal prospect, and a corre- spondent of the Martinez Gazeite thus refers to the discovery: Itisin hard sand rock and on the water level, but not enough work has been done to prove its value. There is s chance for home capitalists to come in and develop it if they want to, for the Judge lacks the necessary means. There is on top of the supposed vein ten feet of solid ground, with quartz boulders weighing {rom one to 2,000 pounds each, and it takes both time and money to move them; but everybody hopes the Judge will succeed in getting to the coal as soon as possible, for it will benefit his neighbors as well as himself more and more as the work progresses. The town of Riverside has nearly completed its new electric-light works and the Reflex states that arc lights, for which the town has been paying $15, will now cost only $4 50 each, while a sixteen-candle power incandes- cent lamp will cost three-quarters of & cent an hour. *So you can putin &s many lamps as you want all over your honse, and if you burn say three lamps three hours on the average, which is about right for the average family, your lights will cost you oniy $2 10 per month.” The new mining town of Mojave on the desertof that name already has & sprightly newspeper, the Pick and Pan. It declares that “‘what Leadville has been, what Cripple Creek is Mojave may become if the energies, intelli- gence ambition of ner citizens are pushed in the right direction, 1t calls upon the citizens of Mojave to bestir themselves and “set the example of a hustling, bustling community, which in times of busi- ness depression did not sit still and wait for legislation, tariff or silver, to put uson our feet, but just went right ahead regardlessof the ill-omened talk of the croaket, who is ever with ug, and snstched the wealthof victory from the reluctant grasp of tne desert.” X The paper remarks that it will “use its pick to unearth the nuggets of news from the sand and debris of the desert and camp, and its pan for the purpose of separating the dirt from the yellow metal, and leaving as its residuum nothing but grains of gold.” PERSONAL.

We have the same currency that we had in 1892, good the world over, and unques- tioned by any people. Taen, too, we had un- exampled credit and prosperity. Not content with the inauguration of the ruinous policy which has brou‘hg down the wages of the laborer and the price of farm products, its advocates now oifer & iew policy which will diminish the value of money in which wages and prices are pald. What we want is a sound policy, financial and industris), which will give courage and confidence to all, for when that is done the money now. unemployed, because of fear for the future énd lack of conzidence in invest. ment, will quickly appear in the channels of trade. The money of the United States, and every kind and form of it, whether of paper, silver or gold, must be as good as the best in the world. It must not only be current at its full face val t home, but it must be counted at vllrbin any and every commercial center of the globe, The employment of the idle money we al- ready have in gainful pursnits will put every idle man in the country st work, and when there is work there is wages, and when there are work and wages there are consumers who constitute the best market ior the product of our soil. . The piatiorm adopted by the Republican Na- tional Couvention has received my careful consideration, and has my unqualified appro- val. Itisa matter of gratification to me, as I am sure it must be to you and Republicans everywhere and to all our people, that the ex- pressions of its declaration of principles are so direct, clear and emphatic. They are too plain and positive to leave any chance for doubt or question as to their purport and meaning. Recent events have imposed upon the patri- otic people of this country a responeibility and a duty greater than any since the Civil War. Then it was a struggle to preserve:the Govern- went of the United States; now it is 4 struggle to preserve the financial honor of the Govern- ment of the United States. Then it was a con- test to saye the Union; now it isa contest to save spotless its credit. Then section was ar- rayed against section; now men of all sections can unite, and will unite, to rebuke the repudi- ation of our obligations and the debasement of our currency. ELECTIQONS THIS FALL. Elections will be held in six States before the grand battle of ballots is joined on Tues- day, November 8. These States and the order in which they will vote are as follows: Ala- bama will elect a full State ticket in August; Vermont, Arkaneas and Maine will vote fora Governor September 1, 7 and 14 respectively; Florida and Georgia vote for Governor in Oc- tober, and then there will be a lull until No- vember. There seems to bé no doubt that Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Florida will 0 Democratic, while it is egually safe to pre- ict that Vermont and Maine will go Repub- chn,l{lmblbly by increased majorities. Louisi- ana, Rhode Island and Oregon have already Beld elections this year. Louisiana went Democratic by a decreasea majority; Rhode Island increased its Repub- lican majority, while the vote on the Con- gressional ticket in Oregon was very close, the two Republicans getting the returns-by an ag- egato plurality ot only 600 or 700. At the November election, besides the Presidential electors, Governors will be chosen in the fo] lowing States: Colorado, Conpecticut, D ware, Ideho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, M chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Mis- souri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Bouth Carolina, South Dakots, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
