6 THOUSANDS VISIT THE STATE FAIR A Large Increase in the Attendance at the Pavilion. NEW FEATURES ADDED. Butter and Cheese to Be Made Scientifically in Sight of Spectators. MONSTER EXHIBIT OF FRUIT. Many Varieties Never Before Shown Are Displayed—Isaac Banyakar’s Misfortune. SBACRAMENTO, Can., Sept. 5. —Six thousand people do not begin to tax the capacity of the wide and lofty pavilion of the big State Fair. They are swallowed up in it aimost as completely as drops of water in a desert, though they are not so completely lost to sight. The first big crowd swarmed into the pavilion to-night, and the attendance in the afternoon was fair. The pass-gate, which up to date has been the busiest, was to-night rivaled in business by the pay-gates. The racesat the fair grounds have done better in the way of attendance than the pavilion, but from now on the latter will get its full share of the patronage. The pavilion was in its glory to-night. The electric tower of the Sacramento Electric, Gas and Railway Company was in full operation for the first time. It is an obelisk of flashing, changing lights of all colors, that would do credit to a Na- tional exposition. The huge water wheel of iron, erected by a local hardware com- pany, was stadded with bulbs of light and revolved by electricity. By way of con- trast, which shows the rarity of the ex- hibits in the pavilion, just below this great, slowly-turning circle of light and iron little chickens in an incubator pecked their way out of their shells and perhaps thought the blaze of slectricity was their first peep at the morning sun. There is a businesslike odor of milk and cheese around the State dairy exhibit, which shows signs of getting into opera- tion some time next week, perhaps on Monday or Tuesday. The people are curi- ous to see how butter and cheese are sci- entifically made. There is an eye to the practical in the modern State Fair crowd. It no longer comes to gap and to wonder; it comes to inspect and examine and be instructed. The sugar-beet exhibit is an illustration of this fact, as well as the prospective butter and cheese foundry. The beets atiract wide attention, and many questions are asked about their sugar-making properties. Thisnew inter- est in sugar beets has been doubtless stim- ulated by the announcement of the large capital that Claus Spreckels of San Fran- cisco is likely to invest in a best-sugarfac- tory here. The vegetable exhibit is now almost complete. It occupies a sweeping curve in the pavilion between a charming re- treat, designed and luxuriantly executed by aloca! florist, and the stewed-fruit ex- hibit. A very fine display of red peppers is making it bot for the other vegetables in point of attractiveness. J. D. Lord, a Sacramento harness- maker, has a large display of handiwork in that line. According to this lord of leather gear the modern horse is not up o date unless he has a patent-leather Sun. day and holiday harness. The unexpected has happened to Isaac Banyakar, the San Francisco Egyptian exhibitor. Asthey would say outat the racetrack, he was brought up with a short jerk by the directors to-day. Banyakar expected to get a sort of Midway perform- ance with sword dancing, etc., off in one corner of the gallery. He fitted up the place quite luxariantly with Turkish rugs and curiosities from the catacombs of the Nile, and had some fierce-iooking perform- ers at hand, arrayed in their picturesque native costumes. He intended to charge an admission fee, and it was here that the unexpected happened and Banyakar reck- oned without his host. The show was not in Banyakar’s contract. The directors informed bim that they would do all the charging for admission in connection with the building, but gave him permission to give a free show if he wanted to. Banyakar made a few unin- telligible exclamations in the langnage of the Pharaohs, pulled down the beautiful curtamns and the proposed show is a wreck. Some of his performers were i ported from Minneapolis. The fancy and prize chickens have be- gun to arrive. Last night several hun- dred roosted in tte poultry department. The juvenile department was opened to- night, and the small boys and girls are in a condition of ecstetic bappiness. The juvenile devartment consists of a gallery all by itself, with row after row of peep- holes, behind which are all descriptions of innocent and entertaining pictures, There were too many youths for the peepholes, and they stood in long rows awaiting turns. Next Monday night the rock-drilling contest will begin. Miners wiil be com- petitors and special prizes are offered, The wine exhibit in the horticulture and viticulture department is better than has been shown at any preceding fair, suy those who are familiar with that depart- ment. The vintage of nearly every leading vineyard in this State, numbering over fifty varities of wine, is shown, and the 5npes from which the wine is made are isplayed alongside. The exhibit of the State Horticultural Society is this year one of the most inter- esting and most instructive in the pavilion. One of the features is the row of growing olive trees, the branches of which are cov- ered with the green fruit. Alongside in jars are samples of the fully developed froit from these trees, together with bot- ties of o1l, the product of the fruit shown. Each exhibit is marked plainly by name. This year numerous varieties of apples and pears that were never placed on exhi- bition before are displayed. There 150 plates of pears, no two of ‘which are alike, are 250 plates of apples of which the same can be said. These, with many other kinds of fruit, are classitied and carefully labeled with their fmper names. There are a few varieties of tropical fruits, seven different sorts of pomegranates and every known variety of almonds, walnuts and filberts, not to mention the scores of other kinds of California nuts. Cassasa’'s band rendered an exception- ally fine programme to-uight, and the thousands of auditors, including the many ladies looking down on the scene ifrom the galleries, applauded enthusiastically. A trombone duet by Mr. and Mrs. Tobin Was encored. Neither the race-track nor the pavilion will be open to-morrow. The next thing on the programme is the speech at 10 o'clock Monday morning of Judge James THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1896. G. Magnire on “Free Coinage of Silverand its Relation to Labor,” which:opens the in- tellectual feast feature of the fair. e A TALE OF TWO BILLS. Being a Luecid Discussion of Political Zssues of the Day. SACRAMENTO, Can., Sept. 4.— An animated political discussion between the fruit and the vegetables was over- heard in the horticultural department this morning. It was awakened by a small boy passing along and hitting the prize pumpkin a sounding rap over the head with a campaign cane with a Bryan head on it. This was observed by the prune, which hopped around on its plate with glee and shouted for McKinley and the yellow metal. “‘Are ‘yon for McKinley?” inquired the prune of the pumpkin. “He’s yellow enough to be for gold, but he’s not so green,” replied the big silvery squash with the long curved beak. “Bay, how’s Watson?” asked a plum from Banta Clara county. “He'’s like Bryan—not in it,” said the sweet peach from Sacramento, blushing at her own temerity in entering a political discussion. “Hurrah for woman’s suffrage,” shouted the prunes and the apples and the yellow ears, and the big squash with the curved ak and the great pumpkin, clapping fbeir hands. The grapes and the hops rowned and turned. their faces away. The sweet peach puckered her red lips at the grapes and the hops, but bowed and smiled at her cousins the prupes, the apples and the plums, and at the great vegetables, irrespective of party. And then she cast a shy glance at the hand- some jellyglass with the long, graceful stem, and continued to demurely regard the discussion. “Let the pumpkin answer for himself,’”” said the prune, ignoring the silver squash with the long beak. The pumpkin looked haughty and die- nified. He paused a moment, swelied up a few inches more like Secretary Smith. “I’m no rutabaga,” he repiied, in a deep bass voice. *Ilive on top of the ground, where I can see and hear and learn. If 1 can get $16 for $1 I guess I want it, don’t I? people will have hard money to throw at the crows instead of Iving helpiess in the fields and baving our eyes picked out.” “Yes, and you'll eat crow, too, after next November,”” said the prune, whereat the dried fruit raised a loud laugh, seem- ing to think this retort very funny. The almonds and the other nuts raised an ap- proving clatter on their porcelain plates, while, taking advantage of the noise to escape observation, the sweet peach and the long-stemmed glass of jeliy exchanged glances again, *You don’t know as much as the silver squash there with the boathook nose,” continued the prune, when he could make himself heard above the noise. “You are about as shallow as ‘the boy orator of the Platte,’ which river, I have heard it said, is about 2000 miles long and about two inches deep. It covers a good deal of ter- ritory, but if you are looking for depth it is not there.” Long and enthusiasticapplause followed from the entire audience of dried and fresh fruit. Only the vegeiables were uiet. “I’Ml bet 16 to 1 that you can’t tell why you are for McKinley,” retorted theigreat pumpkin, considerably nettled. “1'll tell you why I am for a high tariff and a sound doliar in about two seconds,” said the prune. “Hear, hear,”” shouted the peaches and pears, fresh and dried. “Under the McKinley tariff my master sold me in the markets of the world for 16 to 20 cents a pound. Under the Demo- cratic free trade-Mills-bill tariff all they sold me for was 50 per cent less, or from 4 10 10 cents a pound. Thereis nothing in prunes any more except the ability to plums, realize the pernicious effects of a low tariff | which the pumpkins and the squashes of this country have forced on the people of California ana the Nation. “‘How would you like to have the pump- kins and the squashes of Italy come over here and compete with you in your own field? That's what Italian prunes are doing, and my friend C. O. Wine (claret and other) says itisthe same troublein his case. That's why I am for Bill Mc- Kinley, the McKinley Bill and the sound dollar,” The pumpkin and tke squash turned away. Reflectively they gazed at the pass- ing throng. BAKERSFIELD TRAGEDY, Joseph Chenowith Kills Himself in Sight of Scores of People. BAKERSFIELD, CaL., Sept. 5.—Joseph H. Chenowith, 21 years old, committed suicide on the principal business corner of Bakersfield in the full sight of scores of people to-day. The spectacular act was the result of an unsuccessful love affair, which led him to strong drink. He had been drunk for a day or two, and from let- ters written yesterday, which he left ad- dressed to an uncle who resides here, it has been ascertained that it was then his intention to kill the girl. Betwean the time of the writing of the letters and his death he was not known to have visited the vicinity of her home, so it is probable that he abandoned the idea of murder entirely. The weapon Chenowith used was a 44- galiber six-shooter, and the bullet tore away a large part of the skull. He was a native of illinois, his parents now living in Kansas. A sister younger, than him- self, lives in Bakersfield. One of the letiers Chenowith wrote closed with these words: “Boys, you see what the result is of being tough.”” ase Coguapal WALL FALLS AT A FIRE. Four Men Killed Outright, Five Fatally Injured and Twenty Others More or Less Hurt. BENTON HARBOR, MicH., Sept. 6.— Yore’s Opera-house burned at 1 o’clock this (Sunday) morning. The rear wall fell, killing Frank Watson of St. Joseph, Thomas Kidd, Frank Woodley and John Hoffman of the Benton Harbor depart- ment. The injured who will die are: Frank Seaver, Ed Gange, Robert Rolfe of St. Joseph, Louis Hoffman, Will McCormick of Benton Harbor. It is feared there are several yet under the wall. About twenty more are slightly injured. Physicians and the fire depart- ment of St, Joseph are here. The pe- cuniary loss is $50,000. SieaT I Two New Records in Athletics. PITHLOCHRY, Scorvaxp, Sept. 5.—In the contests held here to-day for the Cale- donian athletic championship between Gideon Perrie, American athlete, and the Scotchman, G. H. Johastone, the former won, defeating Johnstone in four out of seven events. Two new records were estab- lished, Johnstone throwing the 20-pound bhammer 92 feet 2 inches, and Perrie put- ting the 20-pound stone 37 feet 5 inches. abmerdidig Sherman Heights Burning. CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Sept. 5.—The main business portion of Sherman Heights, a small town six miles east of this city, is burning at this hour (mid- night) and is doomed to destruction. The town has no fire-fighting facilities. Losses and insurance not obtainable. - PR it Albert Whitchead Found. CORK, IRELAND, Sept. 5.—Albert White- head, who was recently released from Portland prison with his mind shattered, and who escaped from the home of his reiatives at Skibbereen has been found in this civy.

QUEEN OF THE PARADE Miss Delia Kerrick Chosen to Impersonate the Goddess California. SONOCRANS COMING ON MULZES Begin the Burro Ride From the Moun- tain Town to the City of Railroads. STOCKTON, CAL., Sept. 5.—The Native Sons’ commitiee that has charge of the Admission day celebration met to-night and decided to send a committee to San Francisco to meet the Native Sons who will leave the metropolis on the night of the 8th and escort them to Stockton. This committee has not yet been appointed, but to-morrow another meeting will be held, when 1ts members will be named. The great arch on the plaza received the finishing touches to-day. It is mow cov- ered with evergreens brought froma the mountains, which fill the rocky sides and make it look like a scene in the Sierra. At tne base is a miniature forest of evergreens and the effect is decidedly pleasing, The work of placing rows of streamers across the streets was finished io-day. The electric lights were turned on again to-night and thousands of people turned out to view the beautiful scene. The streets were crowded with Stockton’s own | people and where all those who come on the 9th can be placed is hard to say. At to-night’s meeting the question of stationing tanks, containing ice water, on the streets was again considered and it was decided to place these at intervals along the principal thoroughfares, o ac- commodate those in the line of march and the thousands of visitors who will be here. Several of the floats for the water carni- val and for the day parade have been completed. On the most extensive float in the day parade a beautiful Native Daughter in the person of Miss Delia Ker- rick will impersonate California. Sheisa beautiful brunette, with handsome face and charming figure, and will fill the part fittingly. Nearly all the floats will be ready for in- spection by Monday, when the decorators | hope to have them alli completed. The parade on the 9th will not be delayed a minute, as Grand Marshal Nutter has beewu very careful in the arrangements of every cetail of the procession. The Sonora Parlor members started to- night on their burro ride to this city. There are a number of them in this city already, but the contingent that is to come muleback will not reach here be- fore Monday evening, when all will go into camp. et FORGER AND BURGLAR, Patricio Peralta Gets Into the Law’s Clutches at Stoclkton. STOCKTON, Car., Sept. 5.—Patricio Peralta was arrested this evening by Con. stable James Carroll and booked at the County Jail on charges of forgery and burglary. He went to the Turn Verein saloon, kept by Simon & Busch, and offered a check for $50, purporting to have been signed by F¥rank Lane, the well- known grain merchant, and drawn on the Farmers’ and. Merchants’ Bank. On this he secured a loan of $10 and departed. He then went to the saloon of Joe Ruiz, in the tenderloin district, and there received another loan on anotber check for $50, to which Frank Lane’s name was forged. On one check he was known as John Smith- land; the other was made payable to John Peralta. From the description given Constabie Carrolt knew who the man wanted was and set about to find him. In the mean- time it was learned that an ark on Mec- Leod’s Lake bad been looted at the noon hour, and that a gold watch was taken from it. Peralta was seen to go into the place at the time, and so when he was ar- rested by Constable Carroll at 10 o’clock to-night an additional charge of burglary was placed against him. The prisoner is well educated and is said to be an adopted son of the Peralta of land-grant fame in Alameda County. Those who claim to know say that a large snm has been spent on his education and in keeping him out of mischief, but with no avail, DEFINED THE REAL ISSUE Oontinved from First Page. But the value ot an opinion is not to be measured by the sincerity of its possessor. 1n some mental constitutions it is the perilous impulse to recklessness of' political action, as ln‘religlon it has bred fanaticism, cruelty and crime. Let Mr. Bryan's personality be what it may, his career has established for him no substan- tial claim to the highest office in the gift of the American people. 1do not think thatany man of good and non-partisan_judgment cai approve his Chicago speech which procured his nomination. It wes a condensation of his stump speeches in Nebraska, his free trade and silver o-ations in the House of Representa- tives, and there for the hundredth time he ex- hibited his crown of thornsand recited his story of the crucifixion of Iabor upon a cross of gold, which he carries with him whereyer he goes. Its iteration is more than wearisome. The cross has befun to drop to pieces and the bloody crown of thorns looks like a last year's Christmas wreath. We behold—ior the first time, thank Godl— such a spectacle as the Chicago nominee pre- sents to the world, wandering from town to city, hoarsely haranguing with vicious speeches the crowds that assemble to look at him with the same curlosllx with which they run to watch the bespangled circus performer and the trained monkey that follow the music of the band-wagon. And while the Demo- cratic candidate is making this disgraceful rugnmue from East to West William McKin- ley remains in quiet diguity at his home. Honest labor, skilied and unskilled, comes to him daily {n {ncreasing numbers with pledges of loyalty to the cause he represents, and bears away with it words of encouragement, hope and practical wisdom. His attitude is that of & statesman calmly but confidently awaiting the decision of his countrymen ou the su- preme issues of the hour. His stature is that ofa wg:r&dol. The other is the incarnation of as but restless office-seeker. SAFER FOR NATIONAL HONOR. I ask, Is not the declaration of the St. Louis piatiorm the safer for National action—for Na- tional honor? Should not the msjority of the American people declare to the t nations with whom it has yast commercial and finan- cinl relations, to whom it is indebted for the billions of money with which its great railwa: systems have been constructed aud extende: and its great enterprises sustained—debix which have yet to be paid—that the victorious Republican party is unreservedly for sound money—ior no dp{hr of payment or purchase that is not as good as gold all over the world; that it is unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase the currency of the Union OF impair its credit? That we Are opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the Tatio of 16 to 1, except by international agree- ment with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to pro- mote; that all our silver and paper maney shall be kept, as they are now, at parity wil £0ld, and that we will maintain inviolste the obligations of the United States, and issue end deal in all our money according to the :;]anulullflox the most enlightened nations of € eart] Is this declaration not wiser than to say that the United States will undertake the iree and unlimjte e of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or conseut of any othier nation—demand that the standard silver dollar, wnich without tbe guaranty of the United States is worth to-dsy but half ofa £0ld dollar, at home or abroad, shall be by law eclared 10 be full legal tender equally with the gold doilar for all debts, public and private, and by the same force of iaw forbid Any public or privaie eontract which shall to auy extent demonetize. silver coin by giving 8 preference o gold coin LOSS OF FINANCIAL HONOR. The enormous financial losses of the indi- Vidual which the Repubiican perty believes will result from indorsement by the people of the Si ver Democrats and Populists are of smail sigo. fleance in comparison with the National bono., which will vanish with them. ‘The chances of honest commercé may make & merchant ten times a krupt, yet bhe may as often resume business and retain the con- fidence of the community 1n which he lives. But never was the merchant again trusted 'Who, when able to meetjthem deliberately, put himself in position to avold satislying uis honest creditors. The rigor of winter may kill the flowers of the garden and wither the grasses upon the hills and each will blossom and grow again when springtime comes. liConflagration may devastate or the whirl- Wwind prostrate a commercial city, and it will rise from its ruins in new magnificence; but lost Natioual credit, deliberately abandoned, will never be found again. Repudiation, re- treat irom the exact fuliillment of solemn un- dertakings, expressed or_implied, the creation of a legal tempiation to individual di-honesty will siain with indelible dishonor the Natioual ensign. The damned spot will never out. The shameful record will uever beexpunged from the pages of history. 1f we had pourea upon us the world’s present accumulation of silver bullion which is not in actual use as money, awouniog 10, say $2,000,000,000, what could we o withit} The colning capacity of the United States mints is said 10 be 60,000,000 per year. The gold coinage is about $20,000,000. The United States mints could then turn out to the owners of silver forty millions of silver doliars per ear. What would be the effect upon the mar- ket price of silver of depositing a considerable art of this vast amount of the world’s accumu- ated silver, and that which will be produced in our own country, to say nothing of Mexico, under the stimulus'of the free avd unlimited coinage of silver at_the ratio of 16 to 1, with- out any limitupon the manufacture of dollars but the capaciiy of the United States mints to meltand shape and stamp silver for its owners? Could such coinege of silver do.lars and such accumulation of silver bullion waiting to be coined in the United States mints alone double the value of the world's stock of silver? Could the mere force of a statute lift itata bound from 68 cents to $1 29 ver ounce? The silver Democrat says yes. The Populists say yes. Mr. Bryan says y The Republican party saysno. Major McKinley says no. And pretty nearly the entire financial world says no. If our ships of war, equipped with all the powers of destruction hitherto known to man, might safely challenge to combat the navies of allied civilization, and their swift keels couid whiten in peace ‘or incarnadine in war the tides that rise and sink on every shore of every ocean; if they might furl their sails or bank their fires in every port which the commerce of the world makes populous and rich; if our coasts frowned with fortifications and bristied with huge artillery from Maine to Texas and from Alaska to the bay of San Diego—yet our Republic, even thus protected, would be de- fenseless and without hope of perpetulty un- less by wise and conservative legisiation it maintained private commercial credit unim- peired and public financial honor unassailed and unassailable. THE PAST A8 A PROPHET. So far as the Democracy is concernea the best of prophets of 1ts tuture is its past, and if labor is again lured by the present false hopes which it holds out labor will once more miss labor's way and go headlong into the ditch of want and anxiety. Who does not now know that if Mr. Cleveiand nad been defeated in 1892 the country would have continued to be as it has been under every Republican ad- ministration and all Regubucun policy prosper- ous and hlpr}'? 11 Mr. Cleveland had not been elected in 1892 the wage-carners would not have lost in two_years, commencing March 4, 1893, $4,250,000,000. The savings banks would not have ceased increasing their de- posits and would have reported gains instead of losses. The decline in the value of American railway shares would not have shown a loss of $1,000,000,000. The shrinkage in railway bonds would not have amounted to one-quarter of their nominal value. Nor would the addi- tions to the National wealth, which one year before amounted to $1,250,000,000, have ceased and been persistently foliowed by & Iarge actual decrease in the value of all prop- erty, real and personal, while at the same time the public debt has been swoilen to the sum of $1,222,000,000. Such an increase of public debt as has oc- curred within the last two years is without a parallel in the history of the United States, except, I may say,in_the administration of that old Democrat, James Buchanan, from 1857 to 1861. The fioancial disturbances arising from threatened disunion, the loss of credit which followed the election of James Buchanan in 1856, and the enormous failure of revenue under the external tariff act of 1848, made such increase in the public debt that in 1860 the United States owed $65,000,000, and in 1861 §91,000,000. All public securities of the United Siates were at & discount, even though offered to the financial world at rates of interest anywnere from 6 to 10 per cent per annum. Then came the War of the Rebelliop, insti- gated andjiorced on the Nation by the Demoe- Tacy of the South and their allies of the North —men Who then advocated free trade sand de- fended African slavery, and whose political heirs and successors are now shouting for free silver and saying little of tariff for revenue only—a war _which left the United Siates in August, 1865, with & public debt of $2,845,- 000,000. Yet this colossal burden was borne by suc- cessive Republican administrations, was funded and refunded at constantly decreasing rates of interest and paid off in installments until it was reduced toabout $900,000,000, end the securities of the United States com- manded the highest prices in the markets of the world. But now, inciuding Mr. Cieveland’s borrowings, the public debi has reeched, in time of profound peace, the enormous sum of $1.222,000,000, equal to the sum of §100 for each family of five persons in the United States; and there would have been added to our National debt during the present summer another $100,000,000, with another addition of $4,000,000 or $5,000,000 of yearly interest, in order to counteract the effects of the con- tinued exports of gold and tne reduction of the reserve in the treasury below $100,000,000, save that to avoid such an impending catas- trophe the New York baukers agreed to pass around the hat and raise $20,000,000 in gold for the use of the Government, taking legal tenders for it and holding them till the Gov- ernment shouid be ready to take them up. BRYAN'S PROMISES NOT JUSTIFIED. General Barnes spoke of the promises mede by Mr. Bryan as not justified by any facts. He also spoke entertainingly concerning the agency of labor-saving machinery upon the condition of laboring men and said that labor- £aving machiues have taken the bread out of the mouths of millions of men, women and children in this country. It has been said up- on good authority that the lsbor-saving machinery now employed in various depart- mens in the manutacturing centers of EnE- lend represents the work of 500,000, million pairs of human hands and probably {he same sort of Inbor-saving machinery in the United Siates represents an approximately equal number. Will the proposed remonetization of silver bring relief to those whosuffer from this great cause of entorced idleness and poverty? The speaker reviewed the financial history of several navions and said: “I eannot under- stand how itcan be claimed, as itis by the Iriends of silver, that the establishment of the double standard at the ratio of 16 to 1 will be & second declaration of independence against Englaud only. Itwill be rather s declaration of fiuancial ‘war against the entire civilized world. But :ugpole that the free silver propo- sition sweeps the country in 1896 as free trade did in 1892. Suppose Mr. Bryan with his iree- trade and free-silver notions is elected Presi- dent of the United States with a Senate and House of Representatives ready and willing to accompiish whatever he shall by message sug- gest, shall give us astilllower tatiff for revenue only than we are suffering under now, and supply deficiencies in revenue by direct taxa- tion, and after the proper legislation the mints of the United States are enlarged or multiplied and set to work to manufacture siiver doilars in unlimited quantity for the benefit of the owners of such silver to be used for the pa; ment of debts, public and private. Whatw. be -the effect of silver monometallism on the domestic and foreign commerce of the people of the United States? If history presents an example favoring the financi l%o icy pro by the siiver Demu- crats and Populists it has not vet been indi- cated by them, nor do I believe one can be found. "It is a terrible delusion which, if it sball s0 influenee whe majority of our people s to continue the present ur{fl licy of the Democratic party, and to that add tnat of free silver, we shall have, and the Democrats ani Populists will give us, four more years of re Togression, disfurbenbe, insiapiiicy NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.

THIS COUNTRY NEEDS PROTECTION. ‘What this country needs is a return to the | tariff conaitions of 1892, which furnished abundant occupation for all skilled and un- skilled labor; which made the shops busy; which kept the furnace fires blazing; fewer importations and more domestic products; which made the manufacturer and mechanie buy the produets of the farmer and the wool- grower, and enabled the latter to buy from the manufacturer and mechanic what they pro- duced at femunerative prices. The Democratic tariff policy of Mr. Cleve- land or the absolute iree trade of Mr. Bryau and his Populistic associates wili give us neither of these. It always will, as it always has done, restrict domestic production acd keep every foreign spindie busy that can manufacture woolen goods, whi'e it-stills our own. It has always kept and always will keep foreign furnaces smoking by day and bhxln{ by night. Italways has and it alwavs wil compel to idleness and poverty millions of American adults, It always has and 1t always will close the skiiled tradestothe }'ol‘lns[wn e of this country. Italways has trained and it always will train millions of young American men in the dreadful school of laziness. It always hasand it always will degrade miilions of young American women. Its cruelties have penetrated and tortured cvery home in city and in country. Itis stimulating everywhere ‘want | Statcs, taxed and un! distrust and fear. The theories of free trade and tariff for revenue only will have had their last hour of existence in the life of the United States with the election of Major McKinley. We shall win again the prize of nationaland individual 1ife, which we have lost, unless at this hour of rehabilitation the policy of free silver shall lead away those who will suffer from {iis bur- lens from their plain duty and real interesis. ‘WORDS OF SARCASM. A word concerning tne equal distribu- tion of silver dollars promised to the people by Mr.Bryan and his associates, snd I have done. They pro) to renew, in some way, the miracle of the angel food which, on the Y‘nchcddeum of Arabia, fed the children of rael for forty years after their first encamp- ment in the wilderness of «in, and gave to hungry millions their daily supply of nourish- ing und digestible food. To those who wiil consent to support him and the silver heresy he pledgu the bread of the mighty and the diet of the bond-holder and the gold bug. The rocess of distribution is conceaied irom uman knowledge, but the resnit they say, is sure. ‘lhere will be more money coined and sfloat, and each inhabitant of” the United , will get more and nearer his share. Will he get it without work- ing for it? Will it be given to him without his giving something for it, as he must give to. day? In what.way will this miraculous ais- tribution occur? 1 am not aware that either the employed or the unemployed toilers of this Uunion—its miilions of mechanics and laborers in city and country, on streets and in the field— sitting around cold firesides with hungry, hali-clad children at their feet, with un- f‘necked disease at the door and famine knock- ng at the window, are hugging to their bosoms great useless bars of silver bullion with which they can pay the landlord and the butcher and the baker if the United States will only consent to coin them into silver dollars. Have these peogle any accumulated silver bullion wainng to freely and illimit- ably coined? Have they mines, developed or undeveloped, of this precious metal? Who hasit? Itisin the handsof the prodneers of silver, in the hands of brokers for its pro- ducers, in the control of speculators of siiver bullion, who have bought it at steadily lower. ing prices, year by year, and who are waiting fora rise in it, or who are walting until the beneficent silver Democracy, whicn is_their agent, shall throw open the doors of the United States mints to its free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 and return it to them with an added Ia.rodt of 100 ger cent. And the people who bor will get the silver doilars whenever, and not before, they are willing to do & whole day’s ‘work for balf a day’s pay. 1 have before me a silver dollar of 412! gnhu troy, coined and issued by the Unité tates of America in the year 1895. Upon its obverse is the majestic face of the woddess of Liberty, with ber crown of wheat sheayes and the diadem whichb bears her name. Above her is the glorious motto of the United States and bereath her are the emblematic stars of the thirteen States that assisted her birth, Upon its reverse is the American eagle, with broad wings extended, plumed for flight and challenging with undazzled eye the molten fury of the midday sun; while arched between ltl&lnlmu. like a bow of promise, is the ery -of the Nation to the Nation’s God that in him we trust, Buch is the dollar of tihre United States—an honest dollar, an honored doilar, a truthful doliar wierever humanity gathers or holds or extends ts commerce. 1t is the dollar which our fathers devised—the dollar which T o T — ut if by the law e Silver Democ: it shall be altered to a dishonest and lying nine- teenth century token, irreaeemable even at its actual value by the Government that molded it for its original owner, withont credit or circulation at its nominal value anywhere in the country whose mints emit it, -nl despised and rejected by all foreign nations, then let its design'be changed. Where now we RKreet the J serene holy face of there amped the awful “head of Medusa, entwined with serpents and bearing death to those who gaze upon it. From its reverse let our trust in be erased and let our faith in repudiation and anarchy take its place. Let the flight feathers which float the eagle above the earth and row him toward the sun drop from their socketa and leave him the carcass of & buzzard—the emblem of a race that has sought and wrought 1its own dishonor. Atthe close of General Barnes’ speech, Judge Waymire announced that next Friday evening the McKinley Invincibles would open their work in the Auditorium, holding a meetinz which will be addressed by speakers to be hereafter announced. Judge Waymire then proposed three cheers for McKinley and Hobart, which were given with 8 will.

CANTON, Onro, Sept. 5.—When Major McKinley was informed this afternoon that he was about to take the stump in Ilinois at the vequest of the National Committee, he declared emphatically and specifically that he had no intention of making speeches outside of Cantop. “L see no reason whatsoever,” said Major McKinley, “for altering my deter- mination to remain at home during the campaign. I don’t expect to take the stamp. I am ‘very much occupied here and a great many delegations have ar- ranged to call on me in Canton,” —_— Urdered @ Bank Closed. BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis., Bept 5.— Judge Bailey ordered the Jackson County Bank closed to-day on petition of Thomas B.
