Although the Atianta Journal (Hoke Smith's organ) has declared for the Bryan ticket while repudiating the platform, it does not undertake to conceal the wide- | spread dissatisfaction among conservative Democrats p! Georgia in regard to it. In % the issue of July 20 it contains an agcount started it briskly forward, and all progres- of & big bolt of leading Democrats in sive ?ixizen§ should now lend a hand and | Lowndes County in that State and pub- keep it moving. | lishes a protest drawn up by them which repudiates the action taken at Chicago as “a complete and contemptible surrender to aparchy.”’ This protest was signed by more than 150 Democrats of Lowndes County on the first day it was drawn up, and undount- edly represents the sentiment of a large majority of the conservative people of Georgia and other Southern States. It is worth noting that the protest was directed not so much against the plank favoring the free coinage of silver as ngnnut those which imply hostility to the Supreme Court and a condemnation of the Cleve- land administration. The protest de- clares: “We regard the threat to destroy the function of the highest judicial tribu- nal of the Nation- as alarming and ex- | tremely revolutionary,” and goes on to denounce what it:calls an ‘‘effort to un- dermine this bulwark of American liber- ties established in the constitution of our forefathers.” It will be seen from this that the con- servative Democratic opposition to the Chicago platform and ticket is not confined wholly to those who opoose the free coin- age of silver. There are thonsands of in- telligent men to whom that issne is by no means the most important raised by the extraordinary platform put forth at Chicage under the domination of Altgeld and Tillman. They see in the denuncia- tion of the Supreme Court and in the de- nisl of the right of Federal interference to suppress riots and protect National prop- erty a threat against the Government itself, and this threat they justly regard as one which no patriotic citizen can con- done, even to the extent ot overlocking it or being silent concerning it.

The Republican campaign this year will be one of the most notable campaigns of education in the history of the country, and the intelhgence of the people will sus- tain it all over the Union. ————— 1 Viewing the result of nominating Bryan and Watson the betrayers of Populism | may proudly sing: | | | Oh, what & tangled web we weave When #i we practice to deceive. A Georgia Populist is running for Con- gress on the proposition that the Govern- ment should buy all the cotton crop for 10 cents a pound and hold it until the manufacturers are forced to bid higher for it.

There never was such a demand for s campaign of oratory and for facts and fig- ures so condensed that their meaning may be understood without having to wade through & whole volume. Congressmen who expect to have speeches that were de- livered upon the floor of the House seat- tered broadcast will be disa The people want nothing of the kind this year, and it is better so. The people are beginning to enjoy debates on hustings, and the party that does not Senator Butler, chairman of the Popu- list convention and a leading member of the Nationa! Committee of the party, has a deal with the Republicans of North Carolina still to carry out, and it will be interesting to watcn him do it while urg- ing the election of Bryan. The Atlanta Journal reports thbat in Lowndes County, Georgia, more than 150 business and professional men who have hitherto been Democrats have signed a protest against the revolutionary platform adopted at Chicago and have started a movement in the State to beat the Bryan ticket. It seems from this that fusion as unpopular with Southern Democrats as with Southern Populists, well as of protection and international bi- | lmpmmmmfimm find | the House, THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 25. 1896. itself without votes in November. There will be a big demand for logical reasoners in connection with high-class oratory, but ranters and demagogues will not draw crowds, The agitation of the money question the last few years has caused hundreds of tons of printed matter to be scattered over the country, and the people sare satiated with it. Now they want the prominent polit- ical economists of all parties to come for+ ward and: defend their position, and speakers must expect to be interrupted by very pointed questions. Evasion, bun- combe and jokes will not be accepted in lieu of argument, nor will mere assertion be accepted as evidence. A campaign of oratory will necessarily oblige each party to have the best possible local marching clubs und ‘other organiza- tions, for the success of a political gath- ering depends much upon the work in the few hours immediately preceding the speaking. Marching clubsin uniform are wonderfully successful adjuncts to a mass- meeting, though in this campaign as never before the pedple will zalmly and critically listen to the orators. *“‘Why?” “Why so?” “Prove what you say!” will be hurled at speakers everywhere. PROTEGT!OK AND WAGES. It is lurpflllng that the Damocracy should have so much to say about Eng- lish influence belng behind the opponents of free silver coinage independent of other countries, when the Democratic party’s free-trace doctrine is altogether English. As between protection and free silver in. the United States England would very much prefer the latter. The trouble with free-traders in this country is that they measure the advantages that accrue to free imports by the benefits that England has gnhared from such a policy, but, in fact, it is the most illogical position one could take. With the exception of iron and tin England imports the raw material for her vast industrial enterprises, and hence would very naturally want open ports all over the world to dispose of her mill and factory products. In the United States is found the raw materia! that is required for nearly every manufactured article of commerce, and, as a matter of course, in ratio to t bility of our own industries to turn this raw material into goods and wares, do we get the profit that England would make were free trade to prevail and all this raw matenal sent to British factories to be converted into finished products and returiied to us for our con- sumption. Free trade isa good thing for England, because she does not fear com- petition in her own markets, and England wants free trade 1n this country, so that our industries could not compete with her in our own markets. As a matter of fact, England counld not maintain her industries under protection, while we could not maintain ours without it. That is the difference between the wwo countries. The industrial wagc schedule of the United States would pre- clude the possibility of our competing with her in our home market unless we re- duced the wage schedule of this country to England’s basis. It isa mistake, there- fore to suppose that protection is for no purpose other than to make mill and fac- tory owners rich, for, as a matter of fact, it is to protect our wage-earner against the adoption of foreign wages. Were we to adopt the Japanese wage schedule the United States would have no competition in manufactured products, but it is to pre- vent that very thing that protection is ad- vocated. TROUBLE IN MACEDONIA. The peace of Europe is likely to be very much disturbed over the new develop- ments against Turkish authority in Crete | and Macedonia. In the latter country a | bandful of Greeks are having things pretty much their own way, but then they | are operating in a region that is largely settled by Greeks. Tnhe serious feature about the rebellion in Macedonia is the pretty well settled fact that Russian in- | trigue and diplomacy are behind 1t, Bulgaria does not appear to have any objection to a Macedonian junta making its headquarters on the frontier where it can direct the movements of the insur- gents, but then, Bulgaria is thoroughly under Russian influence, and if the Czar is aiming 2t the Independence of Mace- donia the junta would very naturally feel sale to prosecute its work. The inde- pendence of Macedonia would not only weaken the Sultan’s political power, but give courage to the Armenians to keep up their fight against the Turks, and it would exert the same kind of an influence upon the Cretans. The Greeks and the Chris- tians of Crete and Macedonia and all Rus- sians are of one religious faith, and their greatest earthly object of hatred is Moham- medanism. The insurgents on the island of Crete appear (o be situated very much like the Cubans, and like the Cubans, they man- age to have some arms and maunitions of war landed wherever they like, notwith- standing the vigilance of the ‘‘mother country.” The Porte, however, seems to have more sense that the Madrid Govern- ment, for he has appealed to the powers to induce the Cretans to quit fighting and accept certain reforms which he promises shail be forthcoming. -But the Cretans, like the Cubauns, have had a good deal of experience with “‘reforms,” and they propose to establish the inde- vendence of their country. The grind on the Populists of the South- ern States comes from the fact that they have in many cases made ‘deals with local Republicans for State officers, and if they now whirl in and help the Democrats for the National ticket they will be between the upper and nether millstone and noth- ing can save them when the wheel begins to move. The outbreak in Macedonia, following those in Crete and Armenia, gives another shake to the tottering power of the Turks, and if the insurrection goes much further it would seem the Greeks might makea bold dash for Constantinople and put an end to the agony by taking possession of it and re-establishing the old Greek em- pire the Ottomans destroyed. Political experts aeclare that in the East the money question will be the chref issue of the campaign at first, owing to its nov- elty, but that by the st of October the people will begin to understand the su- preme importance of reviving industry, and thereafter the contest will be fought to a finish between free trade and ruin and protection and prosperity. It would be the height of foliy for con- servative Democrats in the East to put a ticket of their own in the field at this juncture. The only way to head off the Altgelds and the Tillmans who are excit- ing the discontented elements of the peo- ple is for conservative men to unite their forces and vote for law and order. It is now recalled that Tom Reed once said be never fully appreciated tne bibli- cal reference to the “‘colt of s wild ass” until he heard Watson of Georgia defying PERSONAL.

Ex-President Harrison Discusses OQur Monetary System. “Ever since the resumption of specie pay- ments, in 1879, the treasury has paid gold for greenbacks when gold was demanded, and has Tedeemed in the same way the treasury notes issued under the Sherman la ys ex-Presi- dent Harrison in the Phfllde\phh Ladies’ Home Journal for August. “The Secretary of the Treasury has never exercised the discre- tion given him to redeem the latternotes in silver—holding that his discretion was limited to such a use of silver as would not desiroy the parity of the gold and silver dollars. And our Secretaries have been right, I think, in holding that the parity of our gold and silver coins will be destroyea the moment the Government takes from the holder of & greenback or treas- ury note the election of the coin he will receive in exchange for it. If he wants gold, and silver is thrust upen him, the latter is depreciated 8nd the former appreciated. 1f the holder of & United States note cannot get gold at par for it he will pay a premium for the gold he must bave to pa; J a gold obligation. A preminm on gold would at once drive gold out of circula- lhn for coin that is at & premium cannot be used in trade. No one is bound 1o pa: ?ld to the Government for any tax or other 5 t due toit, So that practically the situation is this: The treasury holds itself bound to give gold to ‘every one presenting a United States note, and has nio way of compelling any one to pay gold toit. Such gold as it gets comes from persons who choose to take paper money for gold de- Dosited at the mints or assay offices, or to pay in gold coins some Government tax. Formerly all duties upon imports were payable only in gold. Now when the gold reserve g;u low it can only be restored hy the sale of bonds, un- der the powers given to the Secretary in the leflshunn relating to the resumption of specie payments. BARMAIDS IN ENGLAND. The number of barmaids pure and simple has been reckoned at between 80,000 and 90,000, and W.H.
