DAV.ID THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL. { e ———— | PATRIOTISM, PROTECTION ! and PROSPERITY. | FOR PRESIDENT— { WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Oblo | FOR VICK-PRESIDENT— ‘ GARRET A, HOBART, of New Jersey | ELECTION NOVEMBER 3, 1896. - Watson will stick and Sewall is stnck. The double-tailed Bryan bird may pose | like a peacock, but he is a jay. Bryan’'s originality in oratory consists solely in the boldness of his plagiarism. Some call it “demopulism’’ and some call it *‘popmocracy,” but all admititisa bad mixture. The country will take notice there are | neither evasions nor plagiarisms in Me- | Kinley’s speech The Populist leaders made a trade with i Democracy, but they will have a hard time delivering the goods. 1f Bryan had his way ne would swap ! off Sewall and Watson for a mookey and a parrot before the week is over. 1t will not be Jong before the boy orator of the Platte finds out that he cannot | | v 5 | elevate politics by hippodroming. | the country at prices that cannot be met | i Cieveland may have furnished Demoe- racy with the slaughter-house, but it is| digging the grave with its own hands. | . The Populists are kicking themselyes | just now, but before long they will be kicking the Democrats who deceived them. The weatlier in the East seems deter- mined to keep up with the political barom- eter, and they are having a stormy time of it everywhere. g | McKinley's recent speeches have been | short, but all the same they have never failed to reach both the point and the | popular heart. As the Golden Gate festival has been | postponed until spring the Democrats will have no chance to fee! happy about anything this fall. | - | All Democrats are not anarchists, but all discontented people with anarchical tendencies are supporting this year the | Democratic ticket. | It is clearly evident that eternal vigi- lance is the price of the liberty of getting your vote counted right as long as Demo- cratic officials run the elections. The common-sense of this country is on the side of sound money, sound business and sound politics, and all these are represented by William McKinley. Every Republican of energy and influ. ence should take part in the campaign of education. Let us make it a house to house canvass for the prosperity of the home. As many Democrats are bolting the Chicago platform because of its revolu- tionary declarations as because of the irresponsible character of the candidate who stands on it. About the worst crown of thorns that could be pressed upon the brow oi Ameri- can labor would be free trade in the prod- ucts of pauper labor, and Bryan is eager to press that crown down until the blood comes, In the campaign for protection to Ameri- can industry every workshop will be a school of instruction in Republican doe- trine, and every intelligent workman who is out of employment will be an agent to proclaim it on the streets. Men who would swear falsely in order to get positions as election officers could be easily induced to swear falsély as to the count of the votes, and it is fortunate that some of them have been discovered before they could get in their work. Conservative Democrats declare the Chi- cago platform is tainted with Populism, while earnest Populistsdeclare it is tainted with Democratic corruption; but all agree it is tainted with something unwholesome to the country and ought to be buried. The publication of a letter from Cieve- land written in 1892, in which he predicted the coming folly of the Southern Demo- crats on the money question, vindicates the stuffed prophet from the charge of having been stuffed with nothing but ig- norance all these years. 4 Eryan will go to New York to be notified of his nomination by the Democrats, to Baltimore to be notified by the silver men, to some other city to be notified by the Populists, and if he will come to San Francisco about November 3 he can be notified here of his defeat. The Populist demand that the Demo- crats shall pull down their candidate for the Vice-Presidency is gall, but Whitney’s " demand that McKinley shall drop the issue of protection and make the fight solely for the gold standard is a degree of impudence for which our language has no 1 word. | thought upon. | foreign markets.” M'KINLEY'S SPEECHES. No thoughtfui person has failed to mark the difference between the public utter- ances of Mr. McKinley and Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan climbs upon the wings of flowery rhetoric and sails about like a painted balloon which, upon landing, is found to contain nothing substantial. It pleases the eye while it sails through the air, and the ear is charmed at the music of the escaping propelling vower, but he says nothing to satisfy inquiry or feed He submits no analysis of economic problems. He merely asserts and submits ne testimony. Mr. McKinley talks but little, and yet | there is more substance in a single sen- | tence of one of his speeches than in a vol- ume of Bryan’s rhetforical patchwork. For instance, Mr. Bryan says: ‘““You shall not crucify laber on a cross of gold.” Mr. McKinley says: *“‘Our creed embraces an honest dollar, an untarnished National credit, adequate revenues for the uses of the Government, protection to labor and industry, preservation of the home market and reciprocity which will extend our There is evidence abundant of dignity, statesmanship, pa- triotism sud of an honest desire to see the conditions of existence in this country grow from good to better to best in what Mr. McKinley said. There is in that one sentence the essence of our system of gov- ernment, ana the political economist would find enough in if to build a volume of analytical deduetions upon, It will be observed that there are two | central thoughts in this one sentence from one of Mr. McKinley’s ‘short talks.”” The first is the integrity of the Nation and the second is the welfare of labor. There is no talk of “‘crucifying” anybody, but it means a patriotic working together of all the peo- | ple for the Nation’s honor and the people’s good. Mr. McKinley would give ample encouragement to every form of trade, traffic and industry, but the paramount thing to be secured is comfortable and remunerative conditions for the mechani- cal skill and the brawn of the country. To that end he would have honest dollars, home markets and home industries se- cured against the shoddy zoods and pauper labor of countries who would force our labor into idleness and close our avenues of wealth accumulation. The very essence | of those things which have to be to make a government of the people, by the people and for the people is found in the one sen- tence quoted from one of Mr. McKinley’s recent talks to neighbors. He does not talk of ‘‘crowns of thorns,” but of peace, prosperity ana happiness for the people. WOOL UNDER FREE TRADE. Tue CaLv to-day publishes the first of two articles on the wool industry, so affected by the Democratic policy of free trade. A careful studyv of the facts pre- sented will convince the most skeptical that something is vitally wrong with the wool industry. An analysis of these facts will convince the student of conditions that the industry has been struck a fatal blow by free trade. ‘Whether the state of the wool business in this State alor.e or in the entire Union is studied. the conclusion is ineyitable that no American sheep-raiser and no American wool-dealer can compete with the goods that foreigners send iato in this land of high wages and better standards of living. The market reports from all centers report a paralysis of | business, with more than half the manu- | facturing plants idle. These conditions fulfill the prophecies of McKinley and his friends, prophecies that were laughed at by those who held up the Democratic idol of free trade as a panacea for our in- dustrial ills. In tdre great manufacturing districts of the New England States the shrewdest dealers have been unable to continue busi- ness without interruption. They have been crushed by the fierce competition of for- eigners anxious to control the American market. In California the wool clip of the past year falls 5,000,000 pounds short of the normal yield, sitnply because men who have heretofore devoted their money and energies to wool-growing have been | | forced to sell their sheep for mutton to | enable them to survive the depression of these perilonus Democratic times. E In the light of the incontrovertible facts presented how puerile now seems the rea- soning of the Democrats who urged the ‘Wilson bill as a blessing to the country! Those who repealed the McKinley law urged that the fine foreign wools would canse a demand for the home product, be- cause manufatturers would want a mix- ture; yet month after month the depres- sion has continned until wool-growers are to-day crushed in every part of the country. San Francisco is an example in point, Here nearly ali the warehouses are closed. Humboldt wool that brought 25 and 30 cents in the grease a few years ago does not move now at 11 and 12 cents, and growers are discouraged. All admit that tbeir only hope is & return to protection and prosperity. 1t should be borne in mind that wool is but one strixing object lesson in many. As free trade has paralzyed one indusiry it will paralyze others, and if Democratic prophets are wrong about one policy they are equally untrustworthy in others. We commend the reading of the story which tells of the downfall of the wool industry to all impartial investigators, irrespective of their party beliefs and affiliations. LIKE A HERD OF OATTLE The information comes from the Popu- list party’s headquarters in St. Louis that Mr. Bryan will not be formally notifiet of his nomination by that party, and the in- formation comes also that the Democratic National Committee will withdraw Mr. Bryan's name from the Populist ticket. It is safe to say that the first is irue and that the latter is without the slightest foundation in fact. The tactics of the Populist traitors and their Democratic purchasers do not warrant the belief th they have aecency enough to right the great wrong they have done the honest wing of the Populist party by either put- ting Mr. Bryan in the awkward position which would come of formally notifying him of his nomination, or of withdrawing his name from ihe ticket. The Populist convention was sold to Mr. Bryan just as droves of cattle are sold. The cattle had no voice in the transaction. No doubt there is a secret understanding which insures certain fat offices in the event of Bryan’s election, but that is none of the business of the rank and file. By not formaliy notifying Mr. Bryan of his nomination by the Populist conven- tion the complete sale of the party is im- plied. The rule has always been since the institution of nominating -conventions that the candidates should take advantage of the occasion of the formal notification of their nomination to place themselves upon the platform and to enlarge upon its more important declarations. This course has always been deemed necessary be- cause it was the only way the party had of knowing that the candidates were in accord with the party’s principles. But the bosses of the Populist party look upon the rank and file as sheir own herd of cattle, to do with as they like, and they would regard it as insufferably presump- tuous in one or any number of the animals to object to going into the pen designated by the herdsmen. No such an effort was ever before made by professional politi- cians to deal with the voters of a party after the manner of the old-time slave- trader, and it all sugests the thought that the aftermath of the Populist convention would make ample material for a “‘tale of woe” on the lines of ““Unele Tom's Cabin.” 2 AN ITINERANT HIPPODROME. The once staid and dignified Democratic party has been transformea into a verita- ble itinerant hippodrome, but the propor- tion of wild asses to thoroughbred horses is too great to give proper balance to the performance. It has been decided that after Mr. Bryan has been notified of his nomination by the Chicago convention in ! Madison-square Garden he will proceed to | Baltimore, where he will acain be “noti- fied.” \.The programme vrovides for “a one-night stand” in several of the Eastern cities, with daylight parades. After the East has been “played to” this | circus will perform in the principal towns | of the Middle and Western States. The advance agent has not suthorized the bill- | poster to “bill"’ any towns other than New York and Baltimore, as the “booking’’ of the show has not been completed for the season, butin a week or two the whole route will be announced. When the show goes south of Mason and Dixon's line there will be a change in the cast of char- acters; that is to say, Sewall will retire and Watson will don the cap ana bells, | but the main features of the performance will continue the same throughout. The main feature will be, of course, Mr. Bryan's | famous “crown of thorns and cross of gold” act. While the show is in the South and Mr, ‘Watson is wearing the cap and beuls it is possible that Mr. Sewall may run a side show in the North for the edification of labor. If hedoes he will have the stage set so as torepresentone of his many ships atsea. A number of seedy and bungry- looking sailors will be heard complaining of the hard fare and brutal treatment on Sewall’s ships. Then there will appear an officer or two of the ship who will rush upon the hungry men and put those who talked the loudest in irons. Thedrop cur- {ain will then 1all and upon it wiil be seen Mr, Sewall’s home 1n Bath, Maine, which will have for a background his ten Na- tional banks, his railways and his other corporate interests. Only a little stretch of the imagination will be required to see scores of sailor Lazaruses begging for a few crumbs of bread from the would-be Vice-President’s table. Working people, | especially seamen, should not fail to see Sewall’s show. It will be worth their while 1o “take it all in.” FRAUDS DISCOVERED. The discovery that a number of persons named for election officers in this City had registered falsely in order to obtsin the | positions they desired comes at the right | time to awaken the public mind to the im- | portance of keeping a careful watch on | every step that is taken by the Democratic officials who control the election board. | Men who would swear falsely to obtain | offices where the pay is insignificant are hardly the class of men to whom can be safely intrusted the countinz of votes in an election that will be so hotly contested &s the one which is now aporoaching. Honest men of all parties owe thanks to T. J. L. Smiley, who represents the Repub- lican County Committee before the Elec- tion Commissioners, ;for discovering these frauds and exposing them. His vigilance should be supported by the public gener- | ally. The welfare of the Republic is based | to a very large extent upon the ballot-box If fraud and rascality control the counting of votes, popuiar elections will be a farce, and the government will soon be one con- ducted by rascals for the benefit of rascals. ‘We must have honesty at the ballot-box as well as in the jury-box and those who pre- side at the polling-places should beas hon- orable as those who preside in our courts. | That frauds will be attempted by the Democrats in this election is beyond ques- tion. The record of that party in the past gives assurance of what it will do in the future if it can. One trick of the frandu. lent element has been exposed and blocked. The fellows who registered falsely will not be election officials this year. That much is good as far as it goes, but vigilance must be kept up con- tinnally. The trick that has been baffled is not the only one that gcorruption knows. There are others, AS TO NEBRASKA. Because Mr. Bryan lives in Nebraska and because a Populist Governor was elected two years ago by Democratic-Pop- ulist fusion there are Republicans who are disposed to put that State in the Bryan column. The truth is that Mr. Bryan has no more show in other States than he™ has in Nebraska he will not have a single electoral vote. It is very truethatthe free- silver Democrats and Populists did fuse two years ago, and that the Populist candidate for Governor was elected by & small ma- jority. The situation in Nebraska that year was this: The head of the Republican ticket was very objectionable to the better element of the party, and the State Con- vention was warned that if that particular individual was mads the candidate for Governor the party itself would defeat him. He was nominated, however, and as a result the Omaha Bee, the party’s State organ, supported and elected the Populist candidate. To show the Bee's influence it only need be stated that every other Republican candidate on the State ticket was elected and that the Legisla- tare was four-fifths Republican. The combined vote of the Populists and free- silver Damocrats would not have elected Holcomb, the Populist candidate, by 20,- 000. The election last fall, which was for Su- preme Judge and county officers, was strictly on party lines, and the Republican majority was larger than the total vote of the free-siiver Democrats, while the ad- ministration or anti-Bryan Democrats polled more than twice as many votes for their candidate for Supreme Judge than were polled for Bryan's free-silver candi- date. There is just as much certainty that Nebraska will be carried by McKinley as there is that he will carry Vermont. “THE WEEKLY OALL" The best artists and the best writers con- tribute their best efforts with a view of making TrE WEEkLY CALL the best weekly family journal on the Pacific Coast.

Professor George Davidson bas kindly furnished the following answer to the question, ‘“How many revolutions, to & frac- tion, does the earth make on its axis to one in its orbit?"': “There are three kinds of years. The sidereal year is the one which represents the earth’s true orbital revolution around the sun, but it Is not used as th:gur of ehrunvlozs the calendar, because the seasons deven on the sun’s place in relation to the equinoxes. The tropical year is the year usnally em- ployed, unless expressly stated to the contrary.

An English writer says the statement that these words were the motto of the King of Bohemia does not rest upon authority and goes on o say: “The three plumes were certainly mnot the crest of the King of Bohemis, which wes an eagle’s wing. Verstegan, with great probability, makes it purely Anglo-Saxon. Ic orlch, he tells us, meant I, as I myself; and he further says it was pronounced as we should do if it were writien Igh, whereby it hath some aspiration. ‘Theyn,’ he informs us, was a ‘chiefe or very free servant; thereof cometh ‘Theine,’ to serve. In & subsequent article he says ‘The Prince of Wales, the King of England’s eldest son, is wont to use for his poesie (atter our ancient English speech) the words ‘I¢ Dien’ for ‘Ich thain,’ that is, ‘T serve’; where ihe reader s to remember that d and th were in our ancient language in- differently used, It is quite clear, however, that after the battle of Creey, Edward the Black Prince adopted the plume and motto as a crest, and it has since been borue by the heirs to . the crown of England as such.” - Another tradition of the origin is is that Edward I conquered the people of Wales after & long ana stubborn fight on the part of the latter. To win the favor of these unwilling subjects he promised to give them for a ruler a l)mnu who was born in Wales and who could not speak & wora of English, A few days after this promise was made the Engush Queen—then stsying at Carnarvon, Wales, to be near the Kin‘-—(lve birth 10 a son, and this infant the King brought before the ‘Assembly, saying to them in Welsh, “Eich dydn,’’ meaning “behold the man.” Whether this be true or not, it is a historical fact that the young English Prince was at that time and under those circumstances born in Wales, and from that fact the heir apparent to the Eng- lish throne has ever since had the title of Prince of Wales. PARAGRAPHS ABOUT PEOPLE. Czar Nicholas will make his visits to the sov- ereigns of Europe alone. Benjamin McKenney, an’ 81-year-old resi- dent of Cape Porpoise, Me., has just cut three new teeth. Professor Virchow has had & narrow escape, having been thrown down in the streets of Berlin by a bieycle. Fortunately he suffered 10 severe injury. Congressman Richardson of Tennessee is un- alterably opposed to woman’s riding the wheel. If she mustdo so, he thinks bloomers the rational dress. The widowed Queen of Naples is the only fe- male Knightof the Russian Order of St. George, an honor conferred solely for exceptional gal- lantry under fire. Father McGlynn, who has been so prominent a figure in the past, is now in charge of the country parish of St. Mary’s at Newburg, N. Y., but will probably be transferred to a city parish ere long. Hundreds of people visit the Hermitage, Andrew Jackson's old Tennessee home, every month, and the income derived from the ad- mission fee of 10 cents isa very neat source of revenue to the association that keeps the house in repair. It might be supposed that a statesman with- out tact would be something like & well with- out water. Yet Signor Crispi, the famous Italian diplomatist, is a man who entirely lacks this essential. He is almost brutal at times in his boorishness. Some one, it is alleged, brought Russell Sage & subscription list recently for some charitable purpose.

Mrs. Perley’s punchbowl, which some fair devotees of Father Mathew persist in calling a lemonade vat, has become one of the lions of the Woman Suffrage Bureau. TaE Carv's glowing though inadequate description of its beauties caused many art crities to visit the bureau yesterday. A popular clergyman, who has long worn the pretty suffragist badge, lost no time in making his way to the bureau, where he feasted his longing eyes upon the lovely, albeit empty. bowl. Several Chinese also went to see how the work of ceramic art would compare with similar trinmphs in the Mongol school, and one merchant wasso delighted with it that he straightway returned to his shop, whence he sent a handsome lac- quered box wherein the votes and the dimes, which must correspond in number with the votes, m;ewba hence- forth deposited. The box is of generous proportions, and it was thought that it would be sufficient to empty it each day after office hours; but if dimes and votes continue to come in as they did all day the operation will have to be gone through with at least three times daily. The precinct club work is getting on famously. Mrs. Clara Long, the City or- ganizer, reports that sixteen out of the eighteen Assembly districts have flourish- ing clubs, some districts having as many as seven. Mrs. Naomi Anderson, the elo- quent colored lady orator, has also organ- 1zed a large club of Afro-American woman suffragists, of which Mrs. Martin has been elected president. The distribution of literature is likewise going on at a rattling ace. A project is on foot for crystalliz- ng some of the most telling arguments in favor of woman suffrage into short sen- tences, to be printed in large letters on “dodgers’’ nng distributed by the hun- dred thousand. Miss Anthony will leave to-morrow morning for Santa Cruz, where she will be the guest of Mrs. Lucy Underwood Mc- Cann, who was commissioner from Cali- fornia at the late Cotton Exposition in Atlanta, Ga. During her stay at Santa Cruz Miss Anthony will speak by special invitation at the annual meeting of the Christian Ministers’ Association of Cali- fornia, and will deliver a lecture under Ehe auspices of the Santa Oruz Suffrage lub. “And yet,” commented a bright star in social and suffrage circles, ‘‘there are people alive to-day who think the woman- suffrage movement a thing too ridiculous to be considered seriously.
