FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Oblo ¥OR VICF-PRESIDENT— | GARRET A. HOBART, of New Jersey ! Another week nearer to victory. Bryanism has become almost too thin to cast a shadow. McKinley might as well begin picking ut his Cabiner. The only question now is the size of Mc- Kinley’s majority. The people rest to-day by resting assured of Republican success.” e | Even among silver Democrats there are many who won't vote for Altgeldism and Popocrat fusion. To-morrow Arxansas will vote and the Democratic machine will count the ballots in the usual way Senator Stewart has taken the stump and is dodging not only the tariff but his | goldbug record in 1873. The East is rejoicing weather is over and before howling about the cold. The anti-Bryaunites are called “Honor Democrats” in the East and they deserve the title equally in Callfornia. The general effect of the Vermont vote is shown by the fact that businessis not only feeling better, but doing better. that the hot long it will be How can Democracy seriously hope to fuse itself with Populism when it cannot even fuse the Buckleyites with the Junta? If Clevelaud has fully determined to re- tire from home politics he might at least do something to help the Cuban campaign. Phat fusion doesn’t work is not surpris- ing, for anything which tends to promote {ree trade never does work in this country, Bryan might make his swing around the cou ntry profitable by arranging at differ- ent places for a lecture tour after all is over. Tom Watson stands waiting to be noti- fied with all the expectancy of a cat watch- ing a rat hole when there isn’t any rat there. Itis becoming more evident every day | that McKinley will pe one of the Presi- dents whose names live as household words 2among the people. The campaign of education is only about half over and already the people in every section of the Union show proofs that they have learned their lesson and know how to vote. With a State Fair, a Mechanies’ ex- hibit and a campaign of education all run- ning in the interests of home industry, 1t isa very dull man who cannot see pras- perity coming and a very indifferent one who doesn’t rejoice at the prospect. As the Cza:, while making no speeches on his tour, is causing more uneasiness in Europe than Bryan in this country, it is evidently of advantage sometimes to have a man shoot off his mouth so that the world can see he isn’t too heavily loaded. If the Paimer and Buckner Democrats do mot put up an electoral ticket in every State in the Union they will be- come the launghing stock of the Nation. ‘Why did they put their candidates in the field if they are not going to give them a chance to run? Li Hung Chang was surprised to find no statue of Grant at Washington, but if he had thought a moment he would have recognized that Washington itselt stand- ing as the capital of the Union is a good enough monument to the general who saved the Union. Chairman Bynum of the Indianapolis convention declares Palmer and Buckner will receive 1,000,000 votes and while very few people share this sanguine expecta- tion it would be generally gratifying to find there are that many voters who can be justly called good Democrats. The passage in McKinley’s letter of acceptance—‘*The era of reconciliation has come happily and the feeling of dis- trust and hostility between the sections is everywhere vanishing, let us hope never to return”’—is being widely quoted in the South, and many a Southern man will vote for McKinley as the champion of & restored Union as well as of protection and prosperity. The appointment of a workingman on the Republican electoral ticket will be re- ceived with no little gratification by the party and the people generally throughout the State. The Republican party being the champion of protection to American industry is essentially the party of work- mngmen, and it is altogether fitting that one of them should be placed among those who are to officially cast the vote of AheState lor McKinley, THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1896 OITIZEN WILLIAM M'KINLEY. William McKinley 1s a typical American in every way, but the distinguishi:gz characteristic of the man is his honesty 6f purpose. In all walks of life he first assures himself that the cause which he is invited to espouse is rooted in right and in justice, then he goes forward with a degree of earnestness and enthusiasm that invites co-operation, even from those who are nclined to hesitute. Not alt public_men are as careful as is Major McKinley to make the best interests of the people the objective point in all public endeavor. There is no honor nor glory in public office for him unless in the administration of the office the conditions of the people are bettered. What he is and hig high standing in the opinions of men are bhis because his integrity bas stood the test of war and peace and active political life. The highest compliment that could be paid to Major McKiley would be to say, which is true, that he needs no apologist for any act in his private or public life. Major McKinley's nomination was be- cause the people demanded that he should lead them. The leaders of the parly were not consulted by the people, and there was no oceasion to consult them, for they had caught the spirit of public sentiment long before the convention was held. It may be said that as soon as the people realized how disastrous to their business interests the repeal of the McKinley act was they determined that not only shoula the prosperity which came with the meas- ure be restored, but that it should be re- stored under the leadership of the man who had demonstrated that his theory of zovernment was essentially right. It is true, therefore, that while Major McKinley is the nominee of the Repub- lican party under and according to the strict usages of the party’s conventions he 1s also tihie choice of very many who hitherto have opposed the party he rep- resents. That is to say, he is closé to the people without reference to party ties, and for this once at least the party he represents will gather strength from op- posing parties, because the peovle like and have faith in its candidate. Never before in its history did the Republican party hear leading men of its old enemy— the Democratic party—say to it, ‘1 wish you well.” Nor did it ever before listen to praises for its candidate from men whose chief object in their political life has always been to belittle its leaders and to move heaven and earth to defeat its | candidates. This change in public senti- ment and the tendering of good-will by distingnished Democrats is a tribute to the splendid character analofty manhood | of Major McKinley as the highest type of | the true citizen and the worthy sovereign. “Free silvet will not increase the demand for your wheat or make a single new con- sumer. You don't get consumers through the mints. You get them through the factories. You will not get them by increasing the cir- culation of momey in the United States; you will only get them by increasing the manu- | Jacturing _establishments ~in the United | States.”’— McKinley. A GOOD APPOINTMENT, Colonel Crocker having doubts as to his | eligibility, the executive committee yester- | day appointed D. E. McKinlay on the | Presidential electoral ticket in his stead. | Mr. McKinlay is a hoyse-painter of Santa Rosa and is an active party worker. In appointing Mr. McKinlay the executive | committee give only what was due to labor. If there is a class of people who are more interested in the election of or McKinley than another it is the working class, and although working- men would have gone right along in the good work for protection anyway, no doubt the appointment of one of their number to the position of elector will stimulate them to greater exertion. Mr, McKinlay has the reputation of a good campaigner, and he hasthe confidence of his fellow-workingmen. These are essential qualities, and the mantle which was intended for Colonel Crocker could not have failen upon worthier or stronger shoulders. The party will expect most satisfying results from the change, and it issafeto say that it will not be disap- pointed. There is much need of better organization in the circles of working- men, and no doubt Mr. McKinlay will do a good deal in that direction. All parties lean upon the arm of workingmen clubs, especially are such clubs relied upou to securea good turn- out to public meetings. They are gener- ally composed of strong and vigorous men who. enter into the spirit of a campaign with a great deal of enthusiasm; besides, they do not get “tired,” nor are they afraid of a littlerain or mud. In this par- ticular campaign workingmen have every reason to work with a will for the success of the ticket, for upon the elec- tion of Major McKinley depends oppor- tunity to get work at just wages. Should he be defeated free trade would surely fol- low, and as that would mean the adoption in America of the cheap labor wage schedules of Europe or the shutting down of our industries, workingmen should wmake it a matter of personal interest ana do every honorable thing that is likely to avert such a distressing condition for themselves as the election of Bryan would certainly bring upon them. “Remember that this contest to-day is not between bimetallism and monometallism. That subject would bear discussion. This contest s between silver monometallism, which we have not, and gold monometailism, which we have.”—Tom Reed. INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLISM. In the early stages of the campaign the Democratic and Yopulist orators en- deavored to make the people believe the Republican ‘party advocated the perma- nent maintenance of the single gold stan- dard. This effort was easily baffied by the publication of the Republican National platform, pledging the party to promote the free coinage of silver by international agreement. Foiled in their first attack, the silver monometallists now seek to confuse the public mind as to what is meant by international bimetallism, and for that purpose resort to pretty nearly every form of misrepresentation that in- genuity can devise. This second form of attack, while more cunning than the first, is not likely to be more effective. It will be remembered that when Harrison was President an’in- ternational conference on the money ques- tion was held at Brussels, and the work preliminary to the solution of the prob- lem was fairly accomplished. The con- ference adjourned in the expectation of being called together again in the suc- ceeding year, and everything promised a successful completion of the tasg. Before the conference could be called again, how- ever, Harrison went out of office and Cieveland went in. The Democratic President not only neglected to take the initiative in calling the conference, but actually refused to do so even after Con- gress had instructed him to call one. ‘With this hostility on the part of the ad- ministration to the subject nothing of urse could be done by Congress, and European nations, seeing our Govern= ment adverse to a movement for the re- monetization of silver, did nothing, for the plain reason that nothing of value could be done without our co-operation. The pledge of the Republican platform to promote free coinage by international agreement which McKinley cordially in- dorsed in his letter of acceptance is con- gistent with the Republican statesman- ship of the past. McKinley will take up the work where Harrison left it off, and will do that which Cleveland refused to do. All this is a matter about which there should be no dispute, and there would be none if the Democrats and their Populist allies did not believe they could confuse and fool the people by persistent misrepresentations. THey argue as if there could be no international agree- ment simply because Cleveland did nothing to advance it. They ignore all that was done by Harrison, make no refer- ence to the Brussels conference and speak of international bimetallism asif it were something they had never heard of be- fore. There can be no question that an inter- national agreement for the free coinage of silver can be attained by the next admin- istration of this country if that adminis- tration is in the bhands of statesmen sup- ported by a resolute and hnrmoni?nu party, There is a strong and growing sentiment in favor of bimetallism not only in France and Germany, but in England itself. The statesmen and finan- ciers of the world realize that a return to bimetallism cannot be accomplished with safety, if atall, by any single nation. One must find a boy orator, & silver-mine owner or & shallow demagogue to get an advocate of free silver coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 without the concurrence of other nations. Business men know that such action on our part would mean a dis- turbance of industry in comparison with which the panic of 1883 would be as nothing, and ‘therefore they favor inter- national agreement, therefore they sup- port the Republican party, therefore they will vote for McKinley. Not even the honest believer in a silver standard or-the most enthusiastic bimetallist can, if he be a patriotic citizen, conscien- tiously support the forces of political anarchy. The advocacy of free-silver coinage by Bryan and many of his adherents is only a cloak for the spirit of revolution behind.— Ex-Governor Flower, WHAT BRYANISM MEANS. So far as Bryan is personally concerned there is no doubt that this is a campaign of education. He is learning new ways every day bow to contradict himself and to otherwise expose his ignorance—or something worse. The other day he railed against the railways of the country for combining against the pubiic in the way of maintaining high traffic tariffs when there nas been a large decrease in the mar- ket price of all kinds of commodities. Witkout ever trying to justify railway charges that are higher than the traffic should be made to bear, it is but fair 10 refute Bryan’s untrathfnl declarations by showing that no commodity has decreased in value as much as railway freignt rates bave been lowered. Inthe last report of the National Board of Trade, which is a non-partisan body of business men, there may be found a table devoted to railway traffic tariffs since 1865. The table averages the rates on thirteen of the principal roads, and the results ob- tained are upon the basis of the rate for carrying one ton one mile. In 1865 the rate per ton per mile was 3.08 cents; in 1870, 1.81 cents; in 1875, 1.36 cents; in 1880, 1.01 cents; in 1885, 0.83 cent; in 1890, 0.77 cent; in 1893, 0.76 cent. ln 1865 freight rates were over 3 cents for hauling a ton a mile, and now they are practically three-quarters of a cent for the same num- ber of pounds and distance. It is not honest of Mr. Bryan to try to set the farmers against the railways by such gross perversion of facts, the more so because not many farmers try to post themselves concerning changes in railway traflic tariffs. A man who would delib- erately distort facts for his own political gain is hardly a fit man to trust with the affairs of the people. If Mr. Bryan is ignoraut of the great reductions in freight rates in recent years all the more does he prove himself s demagogue by talking learnedly about things he has no knowl- edge of. It is very clear that he is dis- honest or ignorant. He also tells his farmer audiences that “Qur opponents are trying to throw upon providence the faults of your condition. If the farmer complains he is not making much on his potato crop they tell him it is due to the potato bug. If he is not making much out of his corn they tell him it is due to the chinch bug. If he is not making much out of his wheat they tell him it is due to the army worm. But let me tell you the gald bug is destroying more crops than all of them.” Itis hard to understand how an honest man would employ such language, but it is easy enough to understand how one who was trying to inaugurate a war of classes would try to make it appear that ‘“‘gold bugs,” as Mr. Bryan calls all who are opposed to silver monometallism, are more hurtful to the farmer than po- tato bugs or chinch bugs, for if such talk means anything it means that farmers sbould no more hesitate to killa *‘gold bug’’ than they would to kill a potato bug or a chinch bug. We are not willing to believe that the people will take kindly to Mr. Bryan’s ef- forts to inaugurate a civil war. We do not believe Mr. Bryan reflects the senti- ments of any considerable number of his own party, but it is the fact that he has the sympathy and backing of those who would dominate his administration, and consequently the people may be assured that it will be his aim to put his un-Amer- ican theories in practical operation 1f he is elected. It is unfortunate for the peace and dignity of the country that it snould be confronted by an effort to create feel- ings of hatred in the hearts of the people —the one hating the other—for it wiil end in political and social chacs unless the people rise up in the majesty of their sovereignty and forbid it. Four years ago the country was at the end of thirty years of unezampled prosperity. The Democrats claimed that free trade would bring still greater prosperity. The country tried it and the pecple lost more than the cost of the Civil War, more than siz billion dol- lars. The Democrats now propose free silver to bring prosperity. Will people adopt the proposition of the same party that fooled them four years igo ?—Hon. Nelson Dingley of Maine. LABOR AND IMMIGRATION. For the protection of the equality of our Amer- dcan citizenship and of the wages of our working- men against the fatal competition of low-priced labor, we demand that the immigration laws be thoroughly enforced, and so extended as to exclude Jrom entrance to the United States those who can neither read mor write.—Republican National Platform. Although all our people are deeply in- terested in the question of foreign immi- gration, wage-earners are particularly so. Llliterate and vicious immigrants are 1ot wanted, but sober, frugal and industrious veople will always find a hearty welcome. The country wants home-makers, but it does not want such as would be a tax upon homes, nor do we want foreigners who would not help maintain the high character of American labor, both in moral sense and determination to let it never be saia in troth that America is a cheap-labor country. The standard of wages and the encourarement to home- building in America is not equaled in any other country in the world, because American labor will have 1t so. Lhe Republican platform declares with empyhasiy that foreigners who can neither read nor write shall be excluded, but it means a good deal more than that. It means the prohibition of the introduction of any foreign system, wage schedule, standard of right or plan of operation that would tend to lower the American stan- dard of citizenship. While the Repub- lican party would under no circumstances permit American labor to be degraded, it holds it to be its duty to broaden and strengthen labor’s opportunity to so es- tablish itseif that when the rainy day of life comes it will find that its own surplus accumulation is more than enough. The Republican party is a party of wage- earners, and it could not if it would do that which might in any way injure oneof its own. Protection against invasion by the product of foreign chean labor is in line with its vurpose to protect American labor against foreign cheap labor itself. The necessity for excluding men who would come here and lower the schedule of wages and standard of living is apvar- ent, but that would avail us very little if We permitted them to supply our markets without let or hindrance with cheap labor products from their own country. The very essence of opportunity in America to have and to enjoy the full of one’s labor is protection against hurtful competition from other lands, be itn the shape of ob- jectionable persons or the product of de- graded labor, and to secure this and to make it permanent is the mission of the Republican party. 'That is why all intelli- gent labor may be found supporting Major McKinley. He stands as American labor's accredited representative before the world, The issues are more important than any be- Jfore us since the war. Then it was the in- tegrity of our territory that was threatened, now it is the integrity of our National honor and credit and the preservation of the safe- guards of our constitutions. It is an issue between honor and dishonor, between confi- dence and distrust, between eriterprise and stagnation, between a demand for labor and enforced idleness, between the opportunity to earn a good dollar and a small chance to earn any dollar at all, between good credit and bad debt, betwgen honesty and dishonesty, be- tween good business sense and the rankest kind of financial heresy and folly, between progress and prosperity on the one hand and untold distress and disaster on the other.— Senator Proctor. FARMERS AND FREE TRADE. Itis shown in the local columns of to- day’s CALL that free trade has done vast injuries to the farmers of California and of the Union; that agriculturists fail and suffer in their affairs when manufacturers are forced to suspend business, as they- have had to do under Clevelandism. A study of the question shows that the American producers’ market is and must be at home, and that whatever breaks down his customers here leads to hope- less ruin to the producer in every field. The farmers of the West are beginning to see that they need protection and that the Wilson bill is responsible for much of their ruin. __ * CALIFORNIANS IN NEW YORK. NEW YORK, N.

AN ELEVEN-GORED SKIRT FOR SILKS The most satisfactory way of making the handsome skirts of silk and satin now so much worn is with several gores, so that each gore can be cut out of one breadth of the material in one piece. Where fewer gores are used they &re ot necessity wider and the silk or satin must be pieced out to get the width. A skirt whien is six and a half yards round the foot and has eleven gores is shown above. It is designed especially for s and narrow tabrics, none of the gores measuring more than twenty-two inches at the widest part. It is & delightfully graceful skirt, and looks equally well 1n any fabrie, and never gets out of shape, as the gores ara cut with a gtraight edge to meet a bias one at all the seams, ex- cepting in the back, where the gores are raight through the center with a stay at each st *XRkirt of Dresa 8 ©Of Dresden silk in reseds green with bright-colored flowers and leaves (flnmwy narrow stripes of black satin at outlines, and intervels of two inches, was worn with a black satin coat of the lnnh'kVI style.

TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESEN- TATION. Is taxation without representation any less tyrannical and humiliating to women under our Democratic-Republican Government to- day than it was tomen under their aristoeratic monarchial government one hundred and twenty years ago? There is not an utterance ofold John Adams, John Hancock or Patrick Henry but finds & living response in the soul of every intelligent, patriotic woman of the Nation. Bring tomea common-sense woman property-holder and I will show you one whose soul is fired with all the indignation of 1776 every time the taxgatherer presents himself at her door. She feels her condition of servitude s galling as did James Otis when he said: “The very act of taxing exercised over those who are not represented appears to me to be depriving them of one of their essential rights, and, if continued, seems to be in effect an en- tire disfranchisement of every civil right. For what one civil right is worth a rush after a man’s property is subject to be taken from him at pleasure without his conseut? If a man is not his own assessor in person, or by deputy, his liberty is gone or heis wholly at the mercy of others.” What was the three-penny tax on tea or the paltry tax on paper and sugar to which our revolutionary fathers were subjected when compared with the taxation of the women of this State? To show that distranchisement is precisely the slavery of which the fathers com- plained I'will cite old Ben Franklin, who in those olden times was admitted to be good authority, not merely in domestic economy, but in political as well: “They who have 1o voice or vote in the elec- tion of representatives do not enjoy liberty, but are absolutely enslaved to those who have votes and their representatives; for to be en- slaved is to have governors which other men have set over us, and to be subject to laws maae by the representatives of others without having Lad representatives of our own to give consent on our behatf.” Is there 8 man who will not agree with me, that to talk of freedom without the ballot is mockery—is slavery—to the women of this State? In the most celebrated document which has been put forth on this side of the Atlantie, our ancestors declared that governments ‘‘derive their just powers from the consent of the gove erned.” Blackstone says: “The lawfulness of punishing such criminals (i. e., persons offending merely against the laws of scclety) is foundeda upon this princi- ple; that the laws by which they suffer were made by their own consent; itisa part of the original contract into which they entered when first they e ngaged in society; it was cal- culated for and has long contributed to their own security.” Eminent writers on government, both Eng- lisn and American, have promulgated similar doctrines from the time of John Locke to the present day. I claim that in this doctrine of the consent of the governed there is implied the narrower and unassailable principle that all citizens of a State, who are bound by its laws are :nmled : an equal voice in the and execution of such law; mgn is well stated by Goaw.lnlln 1;5: treatise on “Political Justice.” He says: “The first and most important rinciple that can be imagined relative to the K,m and structure of goverument seems to be this: tha vernment is a transaction in the for the benefit of the whole, every member of the community ought to have some share in 1ts M.minl-mtion.o?o give each man 8 voice 1u the public concerns comes nearest to that admirable idea of which ould never lose sight, the uncontrolled exercise of muu Jjudgment, , and the slavish fee! up the soul in sul nnrwm‘::(} g:.unkno::‘_ 1 produced as a nat of the ight of sufirage o all mfmmrflm; a result y‘%flm‘}lth ”mph gam oo ere 45 00 ground. mmtflatnobfln- W) i iven ciple on which the franchise has been g = hich it can be denied to :‘v’ox::lln?m Bl SUSAN B. ANTHONY. THE MEETING DID NOT STAMPEDE. San Francisco Post. The story of how S. M. Shortridge captured the Bryanites in Los Angeles last Saiurday night hes been told up here and itshows that the orator kept his wits about him during the effort that was made to stampede the meeting. Chairman Henry T.Gege then introduced Hon. Samuel M. Shortridge of San Francisco. The announcement of Shortridge’s name caused a tremendous ovation to be accorded that gentleman, says the Los Angeles Express. With his vest unbuttoned and wiping his face with an immense silk handkerchief, the tall orator of the land of fogs and wind stepped forward. He gracefully acknowledged the compliment. Shortridge made a sally about the climate which put all the auditors in good humor. He announced that the presence of the great and magnificent assembly assured & splendid victory for McKinley in November. The entire speech of Shortridge’s was punctu- ated with applause and cheering. The inef- fectual plan of the Populists to stampede the meeting was defeated by Shortridge, and he caught the Bryanites on one of the cleverest oratorical tricks ever heard in this city. Turning to the part of the gallery in which the obstreperous Bryanites were located, he asked: “You all love this flag above as I do. Is not that so? “Yes, yes,” replied the ciacque. “And you respect and revere the constitu- tion of the United States?” “Yes, we do.” “Then what do you think,” thundered the speaker, ‘‘of a party that denounces the Presi- dent for protecting that flag and upholding the constitution " The audience roared its approval of the speaker, and he was interrupted no more, and when he concluded his peroration there was a long-continued and magnificant ovation.
