There is never anything small about the Alliance. They are as magnanimousasthe doctrine they uphold, and when the inyi- tation to go to Los Angeles was received it was at once resolved that a few mem- bers should not drift there like corporal’s guards cast adrift, but that they should go in a body. They must go with glory and return with more, so a special train was | chartered, uniforms were renewed or re- | furnished, and with flags, banners, music and torches the Alliance will leave the mole on Friday night amid the cheers of those less fortunate than members of the organization. And they will not forget their mascot. The colored gentleman who carries the large transparent globe at the head of every Alliance procession will not be per- mitted to remain behind. Considerable doubt exists in the minds of many as to the real name of the Alliance mascot. At a recent cake-walk at the Macdonough Theater “John’’ was introduced to the au- dience as “Mr. Han#in.” Johnisa fix- ture at Hanifin’s, which is in close prox- imity to the Athenian Club, which em- braces several members of the Alliance, therefore John is a necessity in more ways than one, and Commander Gaskill or President Morrroni will not walk with half the pride that will cause John’s bosom to heave when he twirls the globe at Los Angeles, Up to 9 o’clock to-night about 120 berths have been engaged.

The Alliance, with its globe and natty uniferms, has been the feature of many Republican demonstrations both about the bay and the interior of the State. They always travel by special train, and turn out in great numbers. They have been to Sacramento and San Jose several times, and once to Stockton. They turn out at all big gatherings in- this city, Ala- meda and Haywards, and have been over to San Francisco many times. The trip to Los Angeles is the first of such a distance and much interest has been shown by all members. The drills have been especially weil attended and as a result the clubs will make a remarkably fine showing when' they appear Saturday. They will leave Oakland mole at 7 o’clock Friday night on what is known as *‘The Alliance Special” and will be in Los Ange- les for breakfast at 8:30. After a few hours for rest and sight- seeing the special will be run to Pasadensa, where the club will take part in the meet- ing to be held there at 1 o’clock. Follow- ing this the special will be run back to Los Angeles in time to allow the members to clean up and get dinner before going out to take part in the great demonstra- tion being preparea for Saturday evening. After the parade the club is to be ban- queted. Sunday is to be devoted to rest and sight-seeing. The start home will be made at 6 o'clock and the train is to arrive here so as to allow members to reach San Francisco at 8:15 Monday morning. This morning Commander Varney W. Gaskill issued his tinal orders to his com- rades. The concluding paragraph fairly expresses the spirit of the Alliance. It is as follows: “Study, understand and p ractice all the | above instructions. They are the secrets of a fine military appearance. The people of Los Angeles and elsewhere expect great things from the Alliance. We can easily exceed every expectation. Let us all co- operate to make the fame of the Alliance _-'s_a s,rack military corps even greater than it is. YOUNG. REPUBLICANS. President Frank K.

The Republican Alliance was organized on Sunday morning, August 3, 1884, in the cellar of the cottage at 1424 Webster street, then occupied by Allen Knight. It was the successor to the Union League of 1880. At the first gathering there were present the following, who are yet connected with the club: Harry F. Gordan, Fred 8. Strat- ton, F. E. Bigham and W. B. Hamilton, The others at thatymeeting were Allen Kmight, A. F. Coflfnv C. 0. Alexander, John Lathrop, G. C. Pratt, A. P. Redding and B. F. Stone. There were forty-six applications for membership at a meeting held eight days later, making the charter membership fifty-seven. The first president was A. F. Coffin and the first commander of the military branch Colonel W. C. Little. At the bi-annual election in 1886 R. H. Orton was elected as president. He was succeeded in 1888 by L. L. Bromwell, who was re-eiected in 1890, 1892 and 1894. Colonel Little was re- elected to stcceed himself in his depart- ment all this time and drilled the club each year. Mr. Bromwell resigned in 1894 and Victor H. Metcalf as vice-president completed the term. This year George P. Morrow was chosen to the presidency and Varney Gaskill was elected to succeed Colonel Little, George Hannifin, Mascot of the Repub- lican Alliance. an earnest address on the silver question, which he characterized as a side issue to draw the attention of the masses away from the real issue in the campaign, pro- tection against free trade.

FREE COINAGE OF IRON What an Atlanta Man Has to Say on That Absorbing Subject. ESTEE'S GREAT SPEECH. Lawyer Campbell Will Address the Pheaix Clnb—Saturday Night's Great Events. Friends of Morris M. Estee say that his speech to be delivered at the Auditorium next Saturday night ~ill be the crowning effort of his life. ‘The subject will be the two issues now before the people, namely, ‘‘Protection to American Industries” and “The Financial Issue.” Mr. Estee has devoted considerable time and research to the preparation of his speech, and it will be printed as one of the most valuable and effective documentson the shelves of Republican campaign libraries. Beats in the gallery will be reserved for ladies and their escorts. Sl Ga iy THE IRON DOLLAR. Arguments of an Atlanta’ Man Fa- voring Additional Free Coinage. An Atlanta man has written the follow- ing argument on the free ccinage of the iron dollar at the ratio of 16 to 1. The Re- Publican State Central Committee of this State intends to have it printed as a campaign document: The Demonetization of Iron. Alexander P. Hull of Atlanta is & strong 16 to 1 man. Hedoes not believe in half-way measures. ‘The free coinage of silver idea is too tame for nhim. He is willing to see the silverites and go them 100 points better. Here is his declaration, proposition and argument: Having been deeply impressed with the ar- §umenu of Judge ~Crisp, B Stewart, ones and others, and especially grieved, shocked and horrified by the “‘awful crime of 1873,” as 8o luridly depieted daily in the col- umnsof the Atlanta constitution and other silver organs, I have changed my views on the money guestion and am ready to maintain the propositions following in jointdebate or news- paper controversy. accept the arguments ot the advocates of silver and agree with their remedi, as faras {te:oau. However, itdoes not go far enough. t us Have len:‘y of remedy—in fact, enough to make debtand poverty thingsof the past, relics of the dark ages. l’um in favor of the free and unlimitea coinage of Jif iron at & ratio of 16 to 1 with gold by the United States alone, independently of all nations, and can prove by the best authority that such a policy on the part of the Ul_:luti States will ‘“‘raise prices,” put plenty of money into circulation and give the “honest debtor a chance to pay his debts,”” thereby making the whole country Prosperous. Now, in the first place, it may be urged by some who do not understand the subject of “standards of value,” tnat a free coinage act for iron would not raise its price to a ratio of 16 to 1 with gold. To them Ireply that*‘the stamp of this Government”’ and the “legal tender qualities” of the iron dollar would in- stantly make the bulljon value of pig.iron the same as the mint value. “For who would part with an ounce of this precious metal for any- thing less than the mint value?” (Stewart, Jones, Bryan.) Again, it may be urzed that our mint would be overcrowded with pigiron. I reply that the_price of pig iron having been raised from $7 58 a ton to a ratio of 16 to 1 with gold the world over, “no one would especially care to carry it to the mints, since the mint price could be obtained anywhere in the open mar- ket” (Atlanta Constitution). Next it may be urged that gold and silver might.go out of cir- culation. 1 reply, first, “This is’ a mere assumption of the tools of the money power, which_ they cannot verify” (Atlanta Consti- tution). Second, “Suppose gold and siiver do g0 out of circulation, is there not plenty of pig iron to take their place and give the people plenty of money?" (Bryan). And third, “Such an assumption mixes the 1deas of circulating medium and standard of vaiue. Gold and sil- ver would still be potential money metals, though not in circulation, and would lend their ]ielp tow?rd rE(einz prices and causing general prosperity” (Crisp). Then ggafif it may be urged against the pig-iron standard of value that wages would not rise in pmgurnon to prices. Thereply is, “Wages will be compelled to rise since no man would be fool enough to work for $1 a day who could make $1000 per day by picking up rusty nails and old norgesnogs and carry- ing them to the mint for coinage” (Hull). P addition it may be nrged by the money power, by the “Wall-street sharks” and the “:Bond-street shylocks” that we do not slone £0 on & pig-iron basis without an international agreement. *To such dastards as dare to lay s limit to the power of the American people to do what they please, independently of all nations, 1 hurl their cowardice and lack of patriotism back to their faces” (Bryan). The erime of demonetizing the iron took lace about 2200 years sgo, when certain “goldolators” and “silverites” in order to in- crease the purchasing power of their ill- gotten wealth, secretly, and “like thieves in the Dnight,” got the demonetization act passed, re- pealing the good old coinage act of Lycurgus, the ‘“friend of our ancestors’ daddies.” To- day, China is the only country on earth honest enongh to coin iron, and there the happy laborers can carry home the wages of their honest toil in the wheelbarrow (Atlanta Constitution). U:l lt'uinuus)flll in prices followed the de- monetization of iron, and has continued for upward of 2000 years. 1 have calculated the loss ertailed upon the honest people of this world by that ruthless act, and the figures are so enormous I fear a revolution will ensue if the people learn how greatly they have been robbed. But the facts :x-et facts, :l;{l the b?u: way to right a_wrong is to meet it squarely, The 1oss 18 sm,ooo,goo,ooo,ooo oooo‘l)ooaoy 000,000,000 (Coin’s Financial School). 1In conclusion, I insist that the free coinage of pig iron will do everything that is elaimed for silver, and infinitely more. The people will be rich and prosperous. The once poor man can pay his debts with his old stove. Railroaas can declare dividends on old rails and worn-out rolling stock. The smali bo; can pick up old nails and horse shoes ennugg to support the family. In fine, poverty and debt can no longer exist (Atlanta Journal). ‘Women’s Kepublican Club. The Women’s Republican State Club held its regular weekly meeting last night. The ladies present bound themselves under a firm resolve that each would win over one Democratic voter to the cause of McKinley and protection before the day of election. It was decided that the badge of the club should be worn by all the members during-their attendance at the club meet- ings: also that the McKinley and Hobart button shall be worn by each member from néw until the 3d day of November.
