THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 1896. ; ) lost none of their devotion to the great princi- ples of the Republican party and that this year they will give to the Republican Nationa! ticket an uorivaled Republican majority. [Cries of “We will do that right.”] Noram I surprised, my fellow-citizens, that thisisso. We have had three years of bitter experience under & policy which the Republican party has always opposed, and there has been noth- ing in that experience to win us to that pelicy, but everything to increase our devotion to the old policy of protection which stands opposed toit. [Applause.] I wasglad to meet my distinguished iriend, Colonel Jackson, with whom Iserved in the Cengress of the United States, aud to again hear his elognent voice, as I have often heard in the halls of the National House, speaking for the great doc- trines of the Republican party, the success of which involves the highest prosperity and welfare of the American people. [Cheers.] My fellow-citizens, tthe earnest thought of the people this year is directed to the present condition of the country and how best to im- prove it. This is the thought of every mind and the prayer of every soul. Nobody is satis- fled with our unfortunate business condition, and the great body of the people want and mean to have a change.. What shall the change be? Shall it be the continuance of the present Demoeratic party under another.lead- ership? [Criesof ‘“No,10,”} A leadership sd- vocating all the policies of the Democratic party which have been injuriousto the Amer- ican people and rejecting all which are good, wholesome and patriotic and which have re- ceived the approval of the people of the coun- try? _[Great cheering and cries of “No.”] The wing of the Democratic party which con- trolled the Chicago convention is just as much in favor of free trade as the wing of the Dem- ocratic party in conirol of the Natlonal ad- ministration. [Applause and cries of “That 18 50.””] Most of those prominent in that convention were conspicuous leaders in the assault upon our industries and labor made by the Fifty- third Congress. They are devoted to this un- American and destructive policy, and were chiefly instrumental in putting upon the stat- ute books tariff legisiation which has destroyed American menufacturing, checked our for- eign trade, and reduced the demand for the labor of American workingmen. [Loud cries of “You are right!”] It stands opposed fo reci- procity, too, the splendid results of which were so signally manifest during the adminis- tration of President Harrison. [Applause.] The people of this country have conaemned the policies of this party, in these particulars, in every election since 1892. [Cries of “That's s0!” and applause.] They are only waiting now for.a chance to register again,ana all along the line unitedly express their opposi- tion to this free trade heresy in the general election next November. [Applause and cries of “We can hardly wait tiil the election, Major!"] It there was, therefore, but one guestion other than thatof protection against free trade we have it just as sharply drawn and as di; tinctively presented through the Chicago con- vention wing of the Democratic party as we had it through the unitea party in 1892, and & triumph this year for the Chicago platform would be a signal victory for fage trade and for the continuance of free-tralle legisiation, which has already resulted so disastrousiy to the American people and entailed upon the Government deficient revenues and upon the people diminished trade abrosd and starvation wages at home. [Cries of “That’s “s0.”] This wing of the Democratic party believes not only in free trade but it believes in free silverata ratio of 16 to 1. [Cries of “‘Down with free sil- ver.”] Having diminished our business they now seek to diminisa the value of our money. Having cut wages in two they want to cut the money in which wages are paid in two; and we will not have either the one or the other. [Tremendous cheering and cries of “Hurrah for McKinley."”] The other wing of the Democratic party is patriotically standing for the public honor and is opposedl to free silver because it be- lieves that such a policy would disturb exist- ing values, contract the currency of the coun- try by depriving us of the use of gold and putting us upon a silver basis, thus creating widespread panic and bringing to every American interest serious injury. My fellow-citizens, will the people turn to that party for relic whose policy has created the conditions under which we are suffering and from which they are crying out to be re- lieved? [Renewed cries of “No, never.””] What we want now Is business activity and con- fidence. With business confidence restored money will invest in private and public enter- prises, and when so invested labor will be V¥well rewarded and the toil of the husbanaman will be fully requited. [Great applause.] ‘Without confidence, money will be hoarded and the wheels of industry stopped and what that means many of the men before me know, [A voice “We have lived on sunshine too long.”] Then the farmer, the merchant, the manu- 1acturer, the laborer and those of other useful occupations alike will suffer. Gentlemen, con- fidence lies at the foundation of active and successful business operations. We cannot re- store confidence by & proposition to debase the currency of the country and scale down public and private obligations. Such a proposition strikes at the very life of credit and business, It makes it harder to get mobey for legitimate and worthy enterprises by deliberately pro- posing to pay back what bas been alreaay bor- rowed iu a depreciated currency. [Cries of “‘You're right.’] The people, irrespective of party, will unite in defeating a financial scheme which will confiscate the partial earn- ings of laborin the savings banks and build- ing and loan associations sand the investments of the people in insurance companies; and I don’t believe that the American peopie will ever consent to have the pensions of our sol. diers repudiated by a single farining. [Great cheering gnd applause.] The people want neither free trade nor free silver. [Cheers.] The one will degrade our labor; the other our money. [Applause.] We are opposed, unal- terably opposed to both of them. We have tried the one in a modified form with disas- trous results to every American home, and we are strongly opposed to making an experiment with the other. [Applause.] My fellow-citizens, the people have a chance this year to take the Wilson law off the statute- books and put a good American protective tariff law in its place, [Cheers and cries of “They will do that all right,”] which will pro- vide adequate revenues for the Government and gladden the home of every American workingman. [Cheers.] They have s chance this year to prevent a free silver law from going on the statute-books, and thus keep our money of every kind now in circulation as good as gold and preserve our National name above reproach. [Cries of “They will do that, t00.”] If they don’t improve the chance, they will not have sueh another opportunity for fouryears. Does the workingman, the farmer, the menufacturer want the Wilson Jaw to re- main on the statute-books four years longer? [Loud ecries of “No, no.”] Do they want re- ciprocity which will give us » foreign market for our surplus manufactured »ad agricaltural products to remain off the siatute-books four years more? [Cries of “No, no,”] Do they want any law enacied which would compel them to receive for their wages and products dollars worth less than 100 cents? [Cries of “No.’] These are questions which every voter in the country must answer in his conscience and by his vote next Novembe: Gentlemen, what shall the answer be? [Cries of “Elect McKinley,” followed by tremendous cheering]. Ithank you most heartily for this call, for your expression of good will and for the assur- ance which Mr. Jackson has given me of your unfsltering support of Republican principles It will afford me sincere pleasure, I assure you, to meet every one of you personally. [Ap- plause and cheering.] e L ST SIS SUCCESS SEEMS CERT.IN. Roosevelt and Evans Tell of Bright Pros- pects for Kepublica CHICAGO, Irn, Angust 22.—Police Commissioner Theodore Rooseveit of New York was a visitor at Republican NAtional headquarters to-day. He is going to -his Dakota ranch to rest. To a reporter for the United Associated Presses he said: “New York State will give McKinley the largest majority that any Presidential candidate ever received. The only ques- tion is whether the party will get a major- ity in New York City. Tammany is not giving the Democratic ticket enthusiastic support. The workingman, whether in the factory or on the farm, is the man who will suffer most if we should have a 50-cent dollar and he is growing to realize this. Our factional difference will not interfere in the least with the polling of a tremen- dous Republican vote. The revolt of de- cent Democrats against Bryan has reached most remarkable provortions.”’ Hon. H. Clay Evans of Tennessee, who has been making speeches for McKinley in Indiana, is expected at headquarters next Monday. In aletterto Perry Heath, receivel to-iay, he says: “We are bhaving some fine fun in Tennessee just now at the expense of the Democracy. The Gov- ernor has had to call a special gession of the Legislature to meet on September 7 for the purpose of raising funds—raising the tax on the people—to provide against defaulting of the January interests, etc. He intimates there may be a deticiency of $500,000. Last April in our State Conven- tion I°'made a tart sort of speech and jumped on the Democracy—kicket it, so to speak—and predicted a deficiency of from $300,000 to $400,000 by January 1 next. Of course the Democracy denounced me, as usual.” Summarizing the week’s work, the Rail- way Age says that there have been organ- ized in the last six days, or will have been organized by to-night, sixty-six railway men’s sound-money clubs, with an aggre- gate membership of about 20,000 voters. Previous to this week clubs had been re- ported from twenty-nine points, with 10,- 000 members. The paper declares the railway men of the country will cast 800,- 000 votes for McKinley on election day. Julins Goldschmidt, chief of the Ger- man department at headquarters, went to New York to-day in response o a sum- mons from Chairman Hanna, who is anxious for him to start the literature and speakersk work among the Germans from Eastern headquarters. Committeeman Durbin -vent to his home in Anderson, Ind., to-day, to remain over Sunday, and will stop at Elwood to make a second attemps to put an end to the strike there among the tin-plate workers, —_——— FLAG-KEAISING DAY, Major MoKinley Seuds Good Advice fo Woodstock, WOODSTOCK, Coxx., Aug. 22.—At a flag-raising to-day under the auspices of the Woodstock McKinley and Hobart Campaign Club there was a large attend- ance and enthusiastic speeches were made. Among the letters read was the following from Governor McKinley: CANTON, Ohio, July 25, 1896. To Clarence W. Bowen, Esq.: 1 mote with much satitaction that the Republicans of Woodstock intend to be among the first to start the campaign ball rolling. Our friends must not flatter themselves that the Republi- can party has an easy task before it. I have no doubt whatever as to success, but in order to make the victory thorough and emphatic there is need of earnest, persistent and intelli- gent werk. Probably never in the history of the Republican party has there been a greater necessity for & campaign of education and or- ganization. Very iruly yours, WiLLTAM MCKINLEY. REPUBLICANS ENTHUSIASTIC, [Continued from First Page.| turn the book of history that you may see what it promised ahd what it has done. 1 have not the time r:or you the patience to g0 into the details of the legislationof the last thiriy years. Let me suggest, however, tial the Republican party said that it would give homes to the poor, that it would give the homestead to the pioneer, and it is due to the Republican party that the bemeficent home- ;tea;i law was passed and kept on the statute 00k. The Republican party said that the credit of this Naiion should be kept up, and it was the lowest among the nations of the earth. But by its efforts it mrde thatcredit the best in all the world. Why, you remembgr the expenses, the exiraordinary expenses,of carrying on the war required the borrowing of & vast amount of money, and during some perjods of the war you will remember the fear of failure was such inat the greenbacks sank farther down in the scale and were farther below par than ever before known. But the honesty of the American people and the integrity of tne Kepublican pariy said then and says now, Mr. Altgeld, Mr. Bryan, Mr. Tillman and all these demagogues to the contrary mnotwlihstanding, that the rom ises of this Nation shall be kept and that or every dollar we have borrowed we will re- turn 100 cents, But above all this, what I would address mv. self to is this promise which the Republican party made. It made a promise thst since it ‘was the party springing from the people it would give empioyment to the men of this country mgrefarence to those of other lands. [Cheers and applause.] Not that we are op- osed to other lands unless they come in con- flict with our industries. We may aamire England for her greatness on the sea; Germany for her industry and frugal- ity; Ireland for her love of liberty—we may admire any land on_the earth where the brow is free and the nand unshackled; but we do love this land more dearly and more de- votedly than all countries. L:ppllnsn.] And as stated here to-night by Senator Perkius, we would rather see the mills of our eountry in full blast and full operation than -told that the factories of Germany and France and England sre employing men. And so the Republican party,which promised the men, the women, the boys ard the girls that they should have an opportunity to labor, that the mills shouid run, that the mills should go full, that men might find an oppor- tunity to toil, bas kept this grnmiu by passing a tariff measure which not only yielded ample revenues for the expenses of government but protected the laboring men of this country from the poorly clad, underpaid and less foriunate laborer of foreign countries. Men who work, men who toil, men whose daily bread depends upon their toil, men who have money in the savings banks and those who desire to have money in savings banks, all classes of men, know that without such a tariff there can be no prosperity in the United States of America. So upon that question the Republican party's past record is so square and straight and manly that it woula %oln insult to mention in detail what is known to you. Many other questions have confronted the Republican party, and in every insiance it has had the statesmen to grapple with the prob- lems to their honor and credit. But, on the other band, what a miserable, disgraceful and altogether discreditable record we find when we look to see how the Democratic party has undertaken to.conduct the affairs of this Goy~ erament. No wonder that the Chicago plat- form undertook to turn away from their record and nazarded wild and new notions. But the Republican party hes made & prom- ise—grand old womau, there she sits, grand old women [appisuse]—the Republican party has made a promise, and perhaps in the next election we may have to get upon our knees in more ways than one and ask not only the men but the women for their votes. The Republican party dealt with the tariff question. Itaisodealt with the subject indi- cated here to-night by Senator Perkins, that is the great question of reciprocity. The Demo- cratic party opposed tariff, rrotection and now opposes reciprocity. The Republicans cham- pluned that; the Democratic party swept it away. That doctrine of reciprocity that does not conflict with the tariff, and which admits free to our country, free the produets which we cannot produce in return for the free entry inio other countries of these things which we do produce. Tie result of this has been most beneficial t0 our people. The doctrine of reciprocity was elosely connected with another promise which the Republican paxty made. he Republican party has said that the Ameri- can flag shall be respected in every State and in every Territory, and nnder the leadershi of Republican statesmansh p, undet the ’uhx ance of Republican statesmen, this flag was caused to be.respected if not loved, caused to be feared if it was not loved in every sea. Mr. Shortridge then referred to the patriotic enforcement by the Republican party of the Monroe doctrine in every case where European parties bad sought to infringe upon it. He reverted again to the policy of reci; roch? which Blaine had inaugurated and the feeling of friend- ship that had been engendered toward the United Btates by the repyblics of both continents of the Western Hemisphere. He concluded by saying: There is not one thing the Republi has ever done that it la'nshame&uolzc::e‘:—:"\z not one act that would cause & b.ush of shame to come to the cheek of any American citizen. ere is not ope thing in all its history which it js ashamed of or would undo if it had tne opportunity. ellow citizens, if there is such & thing as fidelity, if there be such a thing as devotion to country, liberty and God, is there a party on the face of the earth to-day that has done 50 much for the people as this? This istbe party under whose blessed banner {and you are proud to walk. The Hon. Tirey L. Ford, Senator from Bierra County, spoke as foflo": Not in the heat and turmoil of an excited and excitable convention, not under the hyp- notic speil af impassioued eloquence, Was William McKinley chosen the standard- bearer of the Kegubllem party. From the quiet of a million firesides, from anxious faces in the workshop, in the factory and in all the industrial pursuits of a great Nation, came the ceaseless and irresistible demand for pro- tection’s greatest general. Like the onward flow of some mighty river, the steady current of public opinion swept aside all obstacles .nJ" yielded not to the skill and energy of those who would turn it from its true course, ¥ ¥ * Citizens of San Francisco and of California: We ask you to seriously consider the grave and far-reaching issues of the campaign upon which we are now entering, and when election- day shall have arrived and you Come to exer- cise the highest duty of & citizea we ask you to vote for the American home and all that it im- plies, for the American laborer in hisstrug- gle against the sharp competition which a low tarift has forced upon him, for American ine dustry, for National honor and National pros- perity; in short, for him who typifies all these and more, Wiiliam McKinley of Ohio. The Rev. Anna Shaw was introduced by Mr. Knight, Miss Shaw spoke as foliows: Mr. President, Gentlemen and Ladies: The greeting which you have ziven me to-night is not for me alone—it is the greeting to the vrinciple, to that plank in the platform of the Republican party which I stand here to rep- Tesent. “Mr. Shortridge has given you therecora of the Republican party from its begin- ning to the present hour alung the lines of finance, along the lines of protection. He spoke of that immortal hero, the man who set the pattern of what a Republican should be, and fixed the high standard to which all Republicans should aspire, the zr?ntlender of this Nation, Abraham Lin- coln. “This grand man said: ‘I believe every one who bears the burdens of ‘the Govern- ment should share its privileges, by no means excepting women.’ Abraham Lin- coln gave the keynote for the Republican party and in 1869 a_Republican Governor of Wyoming signed the bill whnich gave the women of that Territory the right of suffraze on equal terms with its men and put Wyoming in the front rank of civil- ized States. “In 1872 the National Republican party for the first time recommended the grant- ng of the baliot to the women of this Na- tion. This year at St. Louis they up- held the rizht of all citizens to the ballot. “You of California, it must be remem- bered, set the fashion for the Nation. You have taken up the cause of haif the cifi- zens at least as loyal as that which now wields the ballot. “The women of California believe Mr. Shortridge when he says the Republican party keeps its promises. We know it will stand by its solemn engagements, The men of Caliiorpia will not fail to crown their sisters and their mothers with the glorious diadem of citizenship. “The Republican party will never regret the suffrage plank in its platform.” The meeting then broke up with three cheers for McKinley and Hobart and the singing of the “Star-spangled Banner."” et by CLUB ORGANIZATIONS. Officers Elected in All of the As- sembly District Republican Clubs. The regular Republican clubs of the sev- eral Assembly districts held meetings last evening, effecting permanent organiza- tions and electing officers. In every case the meetings were largely attended and the greatest interest manifested in the proceedings. In several of the clubs there were lively contests for the offices. Resolutions similar to the following were adopted by every district club: As the great issue in the present campeign is_the protection of American industry and labor against free trade, and as protection gives employment to American workingmen and prosperity to our country, while free trade gives employment to workingmen in foreign Jands and robs workmen in our country of remunerative employment and the means of Iivelihood ior themselves and family, and as the other issue is sound money against un- limited free coinage of all the silver of rich mine-owners, not only American, but of all other nations of the earth, and as the princi- ples of sound money give each wage-earner or business man an honest dollar, whether of gold, silver or paper, and give to the laborer for a dollar's worth of work a 100-cent dollar, and as unlimited free coinage of silver will give us a depreciated silver dollar, 8 50-cent dollar, and place this country among the second-class monometallism silver-using countries, such as Mexico, India and China, countries of cheap and depreclated silver money, of cheap and voverty-stricken labor, ;n?to( cheap and degraded men; therefore e Resolved, That we call upon all Repnblicans to rally to the support of the regular Republi- can organization of this City and Count the head of which is the regu Bepnbl{ County Committee (C. W. Manwaring, chair- man), and to frown down every aitempt to create discord or division. Resolved, That we call upon all citigens, irre- spective of their former political affiliations, who belicve in protection or sound money, to unite with us to maintain the prosperity and the financial honor and integrity of America. Resolved, That we invite all Republicans and all citizens of this district to join this official club of this district as one of the effective means of promotiny the best interests of our country during this campaign. Resolved, That we heartily indorse the selec- tion of the Hon. Jobn D. Spreckels as National Committeeman for this State, as his integrity and character, services and abilities commend him to Republicans as & leader animated by patriotic purposes and the weltare of the com- munity and as having the capacity tocom- mand and lead us to success.
