S ——— PATRIOTISM, PROTECTION and PROSPERITY. FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Ohlo FOR VIOF-PRESIDENT— GARRET A, HOBART, of New Jorsey ELECTION NOVEMBER 3, 1896. Beware of side issues. The main point is prosperity. McKinley’s record is a good platform in itself. e Protection to industry will give us both gola and silver. Some of the wiser Democratic leaders are already complaining that Bryan talks without thinking. If the Democratic organs have their way this will be a campaign of side issues from start to finish. Free-trade Wilson may go to Englaud this summer if he wishes. America has no further use for him. Between the Democrats and the Popu- lists of Alabama the relationship seems to be strictly one of blood. . In the Democratic and Populist mix-up it is still a matter of conjecture which is Jonah and which is the whale. We can find no flaw in the character of McKinley, say the Democrats, but as a side issue we can caricature Mark Hanna. Democracy may blame Cleveland for putting it in a hole, but all the same the country knows who enacted the Wilson tariff, It is announced that Benator Hill had Chairmar Jones to dinner, but it is not stated that he offered him anything more than soup. Altgeld has called on Bryan, and it goes without saying that if he asked anything the boy orator was too promising a youth to refuse it. The funding bill may be an issue in some States, but as afl parties are opposed to it in California there is no party poli- ties in it here, ‘Whether it turns out to be Bryan and Sewall or Bryan and Watson there will be the same old free-trade, deficit-tariff crowd behind the combination. It is reported that Bryan’s Chicago ora- tion is to be revised and the plagiarisms left out, so we may assume it will be cir- culated during the campaign as a small leaflet. Z ‘When the Wilson tariff bill was under consideration Senator Gorman was thrown out of the Democratic bandwagon as a traitor and now they are asking him to get up and drive. < —_— The British advance into Matabeleland is said to have been checked by the rinder- pest. which is killing all the cattle in the country, and thus does the little microbe interfere with the extension of empires. The weather reports from the East show an exiraordinary hot spell extending over nearly the whole country east of the Mis- souri River, and still there is no sign that the suffering people have sense enough to come West. Though the Democratic leaders try ever 80 hard to distract the attention of the people by raising a multitude of side is- sues, the intelligent voter will stick to the main voint and cast his ballos for protec- tion and sound money. . S 5 P 8. ‘While international bimetallism would be of undoubted benefit to the country, it maust not be forgotten that, as the Repub- lican National platform says, “the bul- wark of American industrial independence and the foundation of American develop- ment and prosperity’’ are to be found in the policy of protection to industry and wages. The nomination of Mr. Dinkelspiel for Congress gives the people of the Foarth District a chance to be represented in the next House by a man who will be thor- oughly devoted to their interests and to those of California, and who can be counted on to serve his constituents with zeal, fidelity and ability on every issue that grises. There are abundant reasons for believ- ing that sn administration which would restore prosperity in ihis country would be able to obtain the co<operation of France, Germany and-Austria in the re- monetization of silver, and with that alli- ance formed it would not be long before England would have to open her mints to silver in self-defense. International bimetallism will cause a much larger demand for silver than could be caused by free coinage in this country alone and, therefore, even to the exireme advocates of silver the Republican party offers better prospects than are promised by Democracy; and, besides, a Democratic promise in 1896 is worth no more than the promise made in 1892, OALLING FOR HELP. The silver Democracy at Chicago mocked at Hill, hooted at the name of Cleveland, denounced every conservative leader of the party, read them out of the ranks, and proudly proclasimed the intention of play- ing a lone hand. Never in recent history did any faction of any party in any coun- try more loftily ussert itself to be the Julius Ceesar of politics and set forth more jauntily to bestride the narrow world like a Oolossus, . Nota month has passed since thatos- tentatious assertion of power, not time enough as Tom Reed says to ripen a strawberry, and behold this Julius Camsar finding itself drowning in the rising flood of public condemnation, stretches out its bands to -Gorman, to Hill, to Cleveland, and with a walil of agony cries out, *Help, Cassius, or I'sink!” Did modern politics ever show a more speedy collapse of vanity than this, or a more striking example of a Cesar forced to confess his mortality at the very moment he was posing in the at- titude of a god ? How long has it been since Democracy, flushed with rage against American in- dustry, denounced Gorman for opposing the extreme free-trade features of tie Wilson teriff? How long has it been since Democracy, in alliance with Popu- lism, denounced Hill for opposing the socialistic income tax? How long has it been since it denounced Cleveland in both houses of Congress, in State conventions and in the National Convention? Al these denunciations are matters of recent occurrence. They are fresh in the minds of men. Cleveland, Hill and Gorman feel as yet the sting of them unabated, and now these men are asked to come forward to save their traducers and give help to the boasters who not only beat them with stripes, but bragged of it afterward. Cleveland, Hill and Gorman in their iso- lation from their party form a strange combination. Hill tried his best to defeat Cleveland for the nomination in 1892 and did send to the convention a New York delegation against him. Cleveland dur- ing the controversy over the Wilson tariff denounced Gorman as a traitor to the peo- vle who elected him. Hill and Gorman as rivals for leadership in the party have been bitter foes for two years, Each there- fore is the enemy of the other two. They now find themselves set adnft on the po- litical sea in a water-logged boat, and while each is wondering what he can do to save himself and drown the other two, lo there comes to them the wailing ery of the captain of their Democratic ship, “Come aboard and save us.” The whole episode shows not only the lack of harmony among Democratic leaders, but the utter want of self-respect among those who headed the free silver fight. After denouncing the Eastern lead- ers they now go on their knees and beg help. 1If there isanything Cleveland, Hill or Gorman wishes in the way of a promise at this time he can have it. Julius Csesar amid the waves will concede anything to Cassius. It will be in vain after this that silver Democrats talk of throwing over Clevelandism, Tammanyism and the Gor- man machine. They have found already that they are incompetent to manage pol- itics, and whichever of the old leaders will respond to the appeal for help can have the captain’s trumpet and take possession of the ship. THE TROUBLES OF SPAIN, It would seem that Spain is likely to: have to confront a rebellion right at home in the near future. The Cuban revolution- ists have had agents in Spain for some months working up sympathy for Cuba in particular and spreading the gospel of personal liberty generally. The province of Valencia 18 already protesting very vigorously against sending any more troops to Cuba, and there has been con- siderable rioting. The Spanish Minister of the Interior admits that there is a growing opposition among the people to further expenditure of men and money in what appears to them to be a vain attempt to subjugate the Cuban rebels. There is beginning to be considerable grumbling, too, over the excessive tax levies for war purposes. Were the Span- iards confident that Cuba could be re- claimed it is possible no protests would be heard against doing it without stopping to count the cost, but it appears the public has lost confidence in the Government’s ability to grasp a great question, besides no one seems to have any confidence in Weyler’s ability to cope with the insur- gent generals. But aside from all that the sentiment that Spain would be better off undera republican form of government has been growing for several years, and no doubt there is a large following that is ready to change the form of the administration. There is a suspicion also that General Campos would rather see the Cubans suc- ceed than not. He fought them during the rebellion of 1868-78, and commanded in the present war until relieved by Weyler, and no doubt he would not like to see his enemy Weyler accomplish what he fails todo. Butanyway Spain is like a house divided against itself, and what adds to the distress is that the nation has already reached the stage of bankruptey. TOR A PROTECTIVE TARIFF. Democratic orators will lead none astray by asserting that the Republican party is pledged to “*high protection,” and that if Major McKinley is elected an industrial Chbinese wall will be built around the country. Never in its history did the Re- publican party declare for such protection. The St. Louis platform, like all previous declarations of the Republican party, provides for “a protective tanff’to pro- tect what? Surely not ruinous competition. The United States is a nation of sover- eigns whose political and industrial strength is great or little in ratio 1o the interblending of their varied interests on the basis of mutunal dependence. Thatis to say, each sovereign is entrenched in his rights in ratio to the harmonious adjust- ment of those things which are necessary to his own protection to the needs of every other sovereign. The fundamental purpose of this Gov- ernment is to secure the right to every cit- izen to go in pursuit of happiness to the point where to. go beyond would be to trespass upon the rights of another. The aim of “a protective tariff” as advo- cated by the Republican party is to so ad- just the industrial factors in the common- wealth that each sovereign may have open and free opportunity to secure to himself all the benefits contemplated and made possible by the prover conduct of the pub- lic affair®of the community as a whole. The purpose of a protective tariff.is to. develop the resources of the country with the country’s own capital and labor; for unless capitdl and labor are assured of | protection against enemies who would rob them of the fruits of theirenergy and skill they might better remain in idleness. But prohibitory protection is not demanded., Indeed, such protection would enforce isolation, a condition the Republican party | is pledged to prevent.and to encourage healthy competition, which is the life of commerce. £ g It is the business of a protective tariff to secure the development of the vast re- A sources of this country :n a way that shall amply remunerate capital and labor. For more than a third of a century the schedule of wages paid to labor in the United States has been from 25 per cent to more than 100 per cent higher than in other countries, and this difference the Republican party proposes to munlllu_ in any event. Capital is more than willing that the wages of American labor should be very much higher than in osher coua- tries, dut capital mustbe protected against the produet of cheap labor in other coun- tries if it is to maintain & high wage schedule in. its own industrial plants. This the Republican party agrees to do, but only up to the point where high wages to labor and a reasonable profit to capital are secured. After that foreign mill and factory products may come in competition by paying for the privilege in the shape of customs duties. High protection would not allow foreign competition under any circumstances, while free trade wouid invite competition without providing protection to the American wage schedule against the low wages of other countries, which would operate to oblige our labor to conform to the wage schedules of Europe and the Orient or-go into idieness. High protec- tion would put American labor at the merey of capital, and free trade would pucit at the mercy of foreign pauper competition, but a tariff for protection would hold the wages of labor to the highest possible point and protect it against the cheap labor of other countries on the one hand, and against capital encroachment on the other. REPUBLIOAN BIMETALLISM. The difference between the Republican and Democratic parties on the silver coin- age question is one of metnod. Both par- ties are for bimetallism. For that matter, more than 99 per cent of the people of this country are bimetallists, but the majority, which includes nearly all the conductors of business enterprises, believe that silver should be remonetized according to the law of trade interchange apd not in-oppo- sition to it. No one will deny that silver bullion has a market value of little over one-half of its value in an American dollar, nor will any intellizent person deny that the rea- son an American silver dollar is the equivalent of a gold dollar is because the gold dollar guarantees its redemption value to be equal to its own, but the gold dollar does not guarantee any value to builion silver. The plan proposed by the Republican party is, first, to restore silver bullion to the coin value by an-agreement between all nations that maintain a monetary sys- tem like our own. That is, the nations which maintain silver coins at their face value by obliging gold to guarantee their parity with itself, When silver bultion sball have been restored to a parity with gold then open the mints to both metals upon the basis of their iree and unlimited coinage. The Democratic plan is to open the mints first at an arbitrary and contradict- ory, ratio and adjusi the bullion value afterward. The Republican party believes with all commerce, all trade operations and all industrial activity that until all parties in interest have agreed to restore the bullion value of siiver, coins made of such bullion would possess no more re- demption value than their weight in bul- lion, anless they were guaranteed by gold, and if that were done it would not be bimetallism, but gold monometallism. ‘Whenever a circulating money medium looks to something separate from itself to guarantee its worth it is token money, and its intrinsic vaiue is equal to no more nor less than what it would sell for asa commodity in that which guarantees its redemption value as money. The mone- tary system of the United States, and it is in harmony with the systems of the com- mercial nations, suthorizes the Govern- ment to buy silver bullion and coin it into dollars, the Government guaranteeing the commodity purchasing power of such coins to be equal with that of gold. Now the difference between the plan of the Republican and the Democratic par- ties to establish both metals in the chan- nels of commerce is this: The Democratic party proposes to abruptly withdraw the gold guarantee. It assumes that silver can and would force commerce to acceptit as the equal of gold ata ratio that com- merce says is unjust and unnatural. The Republican plan 1s to first have commerce advance the value of silver in bullion to its value when coined without considering gold at all, except to measure and fix the difference that should obtain between the weight of a gold and a silver dollar. When the ratio is agreed upon silver would be & money metal of itself, redeem- able in itself and always interchangeable with gold, which plan wonid increase the volume of the redemption money of com- merce in an amount exactly equal to the worla’s production of silver. In other words, the Democratic plan to secare bimetallism would drive gold out of the channels of commerce, while the Repub- lican plan would not only retain gold in the markets, but give it a coworker whose purchase and redemption power would be equal to the silver of the world, and the metals would perform their work'in per- fect harmony. ———— THE LITERARY GOSSIP. 1do not know what Byron wrote— No time to read I’ve had.

Moulton, a leading young attorney of Tacoms, is in the City on business for the Northern Pacific Rajlroad. He states that the Northern Pacific will in a few days pass from under the charge of & receiver 10 that of the officers of the rehabiltated company. The name of the new company is the Northern Pa- cific Railway Company. Before the days of the receiver it was the Northern Pacific Rail- road Company. It is incorporated now under | the laws of Minnesbta. . There will be no change In the management. The vast domain of land belonging to the old company is now being transferred to the new by sale under the order of the special Master in Chancery. That being completed the work of Andrew Burleigh, the receiver, will have been completed and he wili retire in favor of the officers of the company. E. W. Winters is the new president. Mr. Moulton states that there is nothing fur- ther to the story that Jim Hill of the Great Northern would have a hand in the affairs of the Northern Pacifie, although at one time there was considerable meaning in it. The Northern Pacific Railway Company is to re- main & distinct entity, the greatest stretch of railroad in the world, with the beautiful city of Tacoma at the head of navigation on Puget Sound as its western terminus. Of Tacoma and-the wide celebrity it has at- tained through its disnonestofficials Mr. Moul- ton hés this fo sayt. «“While Tacoms has been greatly harmed, no doubt, through its widely - whose shop was near the present site uired shape.

E. Moulton Says.a Word for His Fair City of the North, Tacoma. advertised financial difficulties, it has been as greatly benefited by the heroic measures adopted in recovering from it. I do not be- lieve that Tacoma is any worse than any of its neighbors are; indeed, any city on the Pacific Coast. The difference mainly lies in the fact that she has taken the trouble to eradicate’the evil. There has been g good deal more smoke, too, than fire in .all this. Politicians have tried to make capital out of the circumstances and so have exaggerated them, In other words, what other cities have concealed, Ta- coma has advertised to the whole world. How- ever that is about all done with now,and asa resuit Tacoma is in & better way. to go forward triumpbantly with the eoming new era. With the return of prosperity to the coustry at large Tacoma will steo to the frontanong the young cities of the West. As the Western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railway, enjoying un- equaled advantages of loeation at the head of navigation on the American Mediterranean, ‘with a magnificent harbor in the heart of a country abounding in timber, coal and iron ore, the ¢ity must aevelop into one of the greatest cities of the West. “The only fear that we have,” continued Mr. Moulton, “is centered in the next election. If this silver heresy obtains then the period of depression which has checked the growth of the Northwest will certainly continue. With the election of Major McKinley and the suc- cess of honest money then we will begin to move forward in leaps and bounds. The popu- lar impression that Washington is & silver State 'is not well founded. It is not true. Hugh Wallace, the Democratic National Com- mitteeman, is & straight-out gold man. He hus not_renouncea the Chicago platform, but 1t is not likely he will give it very hearty sup- port. The Populists are not at all enthusiastic over the work of the St. Louis convention. If they refuse to combine with the Democrats then the triumph of McKinley is certain. With 1t comes prosperity.” “It 1is patriotism, protection, prosperity and prunes with us down in Santa Clara County. Isn’t that right, Pomeroy?” said D. W. Burch- ard, the 8an Jose lawyer, as he puffed dream- ily at a good cigar and awaited areply from bis friend, Marshall Pomeroy, the orchardist, &f Santa Clara, who happened just then to be gazing intently out of & front window in the Grand Hotel. “She’s all right—at least, that is, prunes— why, yes; you're correct there,” assented the man from Santa Clara. *Well,” resumed the lawyer, “we want Mc- Kinley elected, for protection to the fruit in- dustry means prosperity for our county. There is plenty of money. That is not the guestion at issue. Santa Clars County alone produces several million dollars’ worth of fruit per an- num, but after we pay the freight rates across the Continent there is no profit in the Eastern markets in competition with European fruit. Giveuss man and a tarifi that will foster American interests and our country and all California will show the effect of protection. Banta Clara County is prosperous now; itis the finest county in the State to-day, but it isn’t what 1t should be; it isn’t what it will be it the election results the way the majority of our people wish it.. The prospects are good for a fine new high school building in San Jose, and other improvements are being made right slong. In what other county in theé State can you find 6o much rich land, such a good cli- mate and such fine-looking women? Isn't that 80, Pomeroy?” " “Yes; here she comes again; finest looking woman I ever saw,” replied the man of or- chards. ‘LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. THE FIRST FLOW. CHARLES 8.

How THE INDUSTRY CAN BR REVIVED FOR THE 'BENEFIT OF ALL. 8N Fraxcisco, Aug. 1, 1896. Editor Call-Str: As THE CaLL speaks for all and is an earnest advocate of home industries, the notice in_your issue of the 28th inst. of & meeting of shoemakers in an effort to revive what was once & flourishing industry of our City recalled to my mind that the manu- facturers, with the aid of Fugitive Walthew, their efficient secretary, have accomplished their efforts not to be ‘‘dictated to by labor unions and run their business as suifed them- selves.” Which they have done, with the re- sult that instead of hundreds of shoemakers being employed, their factories are mere skeletons of what they were before they began their crusade for “ireedom,” and now that their business languishes and their trade has been sorbed by the East, we, with that Christian spirit that always animates true trade unionists and those who have the wel- fare of our State at heart, will meet them more than half way to revive prosperity in their business, but on true union lines. If they are sincere in their desire for a re- vival of trade in their particular branch of in- austry, it can only be brought about by & con- certed movement among themselves to cease ‘buying all of their stocks from the Eastand advertising it as of home manufacture, when all of us know that such is not the case, and E‘ln hands to restore, the SBhoemakers’ White bor Lesgue to its former position before it was disrupted by their combined and unwise efforts, and lnfllce their stamp on no goods but those made here. I firmly believe the labor unions, with the assistance of all who have the interests of our City and the v - ity of its citizens at heart, will do the rest, and all be benefited in the end, but no auplicity will gain the much-desired object. ‘We must all work together, and by advertis- ing, personal appeals, ete., their unwise action ot'trfllng to disrupt labor unions and destroy- ing their own business can in a few years once ‘more be restored to themi Rn%c;cguuy, AMES San Francisco, August 1, 1896.

In 1869 there was some doubt as to how the obligations of the Government should be paid, and to set the matter at rest Congress passed an act on the 18th of March of that year which declares: “Thatin order toremove any doubtas to the purpose of the Government to discharge all just obligations to the public creditors and to settle conflicting questions and interpreta- tions of the laws by virtue of which such obli- gations have been contracied, it i< hereby rovided and declared that the faith of the nited States is solemnly pledged to the paye ment in coinor its equivalent of all obliga- tions of the United States not bearing interest, known as United States notes, and of all in- terest-bearing obligations of the United States, except in cases where the law authorizing the issue of any such obligation has been ex- pre!fi{ provided that the same may be paid in lfiw(u money or other currency than gold and silver.” PERSONAL.

New York Press. If there is one thing that the American people have learned in the last three years it is that only protection will make work for the ‘wage-earner, profit for the investor and reve- nue ‘or the Government. Without protection & sonnd currency in the future would be pow- erless to stop the ravages of a destructive econ- omic policy, just as it has been in the past. Our treasury deficiencies would continue to, drain our reserve, we should continue to in- crease our public and private debt to foreign- ers and our Nation would continue to languish because capital would seex in vain for profita- ble investment and labor would search hope- lessly for living wages. Therefore, we say, and every truthful Re- publican says, that the tariff this year is more than ever »n 1ssue. It is an {ssue of over- ‘whelming Importance. Itis the issue of the American people, made by themselves, for themselves—an issue to which the Repnblican party is pledged in its platform, and the man Wwho hoves to induce Republicans to disown protection for the sake of votes or of anything else, hopes for somethlna that is impossible among men of prineiple and honor. Protection and Republicanism are one and Neither can be thought of without the other. Each is the life of the other. They stand together, and if one falls, 50 must the other fal In this campaign the Republican glny will fight under its true colors, if it ghts single-handed against all other parties. THE BOLTING NEWSPAPERS. Boston Herald, ‘The number of newspapers that have bolted the Democratic ticket for the Presidency is now reported to have reached nearly 200. We doubtif the public fully realize the significance of this demonstration. Nothing like it, we think, has ever been known before in American volitics—~certainly nothing like it in the Exevio‘ul history of the proverbially faithful emocratic party. Here are the elements of disintegration, if it is possible to produce . them. The places of none of these boltin journals have been filled, it will be observed, y accessions from ihe other side, beyond the limits of & few of the smallest Statés of the union. We see no noting of accessions of any importance outside of the press in any other quarter than this iimited one in point of num- bers. There are plenty of rumors of what is to be, but how feeble is the figure they cut in contrast with the solid facts above noted! PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT. The Hon.
