FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM MeKINLEY, of Obio FOR VIOF-PRESIDENT— GARRET A. HOBART, of New Jorsey FLECTION NOVEMBER 3, 1896. ——— e California celebrates herself. Stockton will look to-day about as proud as she feels. This is free Admission day for all who bonor the State. Btate pride and National patriotism go hand in hand. The Natives have charge of the cele- bration, but we are all in it. The whole Union should get in and re- joice in the day it admitted California. It will do the National eagle guod to watch the California bear hugging himselt with joy. — The law calls them *“Equalizers,”’ but they pay no heed to the law when it calls them by that nam McKinley talks always for protection, prosperity and good wages, and that kind of talk means business. The so-called landslide in Arkansas was probably nothing more than the caving of the glection law down the bank. It is perfectly clear that the big vote in Arkansas was machine made, while that of Vermont was the hand-work of the people. There is no doubt that the Yopocrat leaders in this State are ardent for free silver. They are out of campaign money. While we rejoice in the greatness of California let us not forgot to resolve to promote its welfare and protect its in- dustries. There are many things to do in these days, but the one thing you must do is, visit the Mechanics’ Pavilion and see the home industries. Middle-of-the-roed Populists would do well to imitate middle-of-the-road Demo- crats and put up a ticket they can work for with ardor and honesty. Senator Teller never fails to remind his audiences that he is for protection. He is willing to support Bryan, but he won’t take up the free-trade platform. Bryan’s speech on Labor day was the best he has mads during the campaign and it would seem he can talk on almost any subject better than on politics. Though the visitors go to Stockton for pleasure they should not iorget to inquire into the industries of the San Joaquin and thus get a double vrofit from the trip. Watson wastes his breath in railing at Sewsll from the safe distance of Texas. He oughbt to go to Maine and challenge his rival either 10 meet him in joint debate or submit to arbitration. The official body that reduces the assess- ments of the Southern Pacific Railroad and increases those of the people of San Francisco would probably smell just as eweet if it were called a Board of Un- equalization. The reports of the celebration of Labor day in all parts of the Union show a marked growth in the power and prestige of organized labor and tbat is one of the best evidences of coming prosperity thas the country can offer, The most absurd thing in the Demo- cratic campeign is the attempt of the fusionists to get Kelly to come down in the Fiith District, when everybcdy knows that Kelly is running simply for vindica- tion, and has got himselt fixed so he can’t come down. One good sccomplished by the gold Democrats in nominating a ticket is the saving of the Republican party from the possibility of a Cleveland hoodoo. Until Palmer and Buckner were put up on a straight gold platform, there was always a danger that Grover would say something in favor of McKinley. The fact that so able a speaker as Ma- guire failed to draw an audience to hear him speak at the State Fair on the silver question is a proof that the people are getting weary of the subject. It has be- come a thrice-told tale in this State and the campaign o; education on that issue is complete to the satisfaction of the masses. The Pittsburg Dispatch bas issued a well- ‘written and well-printed pamphlet bear- ing the title, “A Bilver Symposium,” being an analysis of the money issne and containing vital facts on free coinage, or- izinally embodied in a series of articles in the Dispatch written by James F. Hudson. The work furnishes answers to the silver monoumetallists, 2nd is an important con- tribution to the sound money -side of the campaign, ADMISSION DAY. . To-day we celebrate the admission of California as a State in the American Union. The celebration is to be conducted by the Native SBons and Daughters of the | State. These are the children of the pio- neers and the argonauts. Through their parentage they represent the stalwart manhood and womanhood that have made California what it is, and in themselves they present the strength and grace thatis to make the yet more glorious California that is to be. It is altogether fitting that this day should be celebrated in California, nor would it ill deserve a celebration through- out the Union. The admission of Califor- nia brought into the sisterhood of States & {ree commonwealth, whose union with the others made the United States an ocean- Rirt republic and erected on the Pacific Coast, as well as on the Atlantic, those in- stitutions of law and liberty which consti- tute the best form of government known to man. The new State thus admitted was destined by its wealth of gold to be so important a factor in maintaining the Government through the Civil War as to well-nigh deserve the title of the savior of the Union. Though its population was at the time composed of almost equal num- bers from the Northern and the Southern States, its loyalty during the war was never doubtful. California came into the Union to stay. She came into it to protect it and defend it with her wealth, her energy and the best blood of her people. Ina more important respect therefore than attaches to the admission of any other single State, the admission of Cali- fornia was a notable event in the history of the Union as well asof the State. It merits commemoration for all time to come and that commemoration has been most appropriately undertaken by the na- tive sons and daughters of the State. They from the very fact of birth and training within its limits feel for California a love which perhaps not even the pioneers can feel and which later comers do not know. Their pride in being Califor- nians mingles with their patriotism as citizens of the Great Republic, and in their celebration the festival of Admission day unites the bear flag with the starsand stripes in the harmony of a biended and inseparable loyalty. California has good reason to be proud of her sons and daughters. In them ap- pears the best offspring of the biending of many races and the assurance that the Californian of the future will be asemi- nent for strength and grace among the races of the earth as was the Greek of the ancient world. Our land in soil and in climate is more conducive to human health and happiness than any other land on earth. Our people represent the most energetic and vigorous specimens of the foremost races of mankind and their union in such a favored region cannot fail to produce the highest type of manhood the world has yet seen. Surely the youth of the State hasa right to rejoice in its heritage and all who live in California and love her should rejoice with them in the celebration to-day. In these days of theory, when fancy and folly run mad, we calmly point to the four years under Harrison and confidently say that the policies of sound money and protec- tion which then prevailed with a wise and capable President will come again to the peo- ple of this country when the policies of sound ‘money and protection once more prevarl with another wise and capable Republican Presi- dent.—Chauncey Depew. POPULISTS WANT MONEY. The appeal of the managers of the Popu- list party to the rank and file for money contributions for campaign expenses is curiously worded. It declares to start with that the Populist party is the cham- pion of the masses who produce wealth by the sweat of their brow, so to speak, and that if the Democratic party now stands for or advocates a single principle having the air of respectability it was driven to it by the Populists. The address speaks of Bryan and Watson as the party’s candi- dates, and claims that they are the only true exponents of the principles of Jeffer- son and other gentlemen with political records who lived in the long ago. The amusing part of the address is where it is claimed that the Populists forced the Democracy to turn down Cleve- land and his following. The Populist party may bhave driven the Democracy into repudiating Cleveland, but unless history is greatly at fault the very same Democrats who drove Cleveland out into the cold captured the Populist National Convention, and used its machinery to nominate the Democracy’s candidate for President. The address suggests that there is a good deal of suspicion lurking in the minds of Populists that the Democracy cannot be trusted. Itsays the future of that party is uncertain, which means that in the matter of principles it is like the prover- bial flea, and that the less people have to do with it the better 1t will be for them. There is an invitation in the address to all believers in the doctrine of free silver and in the several other declarations of the Populist and Democratic platforms to join the People’s party if they would be in good company. The proclamation is well calcnlated to make Populists a good deal more aggressive when dealing with Democrats, and also to make Demo- crats like Populists less than ever. The Populist managers are not so stupid, however, as some Democrats have sup- posed them to be. They propose to handle their own campaign money, which is hit- ting the Democracy in its weakest spot. In this orisis, when the National honor and all that that involves—the business, the em- ployment and the prosperity of the country— s at stake, the Republican party welcomes with open arms the assistance of patriotic Democrats who care more for their country than for an organization which has been tem- porarily seized by the tumuliuous and evanes- cent forces of revolution, of communism, of anarchy and of repudiation.—Chauncey Depew. TAXES AND VALUES, More than a year ago THE CALL pub- lished a table of figures showing how for ten years the Southern Pacific had cheated the State of its dues by giving a wrong valuation of its taxable property, and Tur CaLr also warned the public that the same thing would be repeated this year unless the State Board of Equalization could be brought to a realizing sense of the fact that the people have rights that this mer- ciless corporation ought to be made to respect. THE CALL was the first to take up arms against the unjust and unfair assessment of railway property in the Btate of California, and it does not pro- pose to guit the field until the people’s rights are recognized. It is preposterous to say that the valua- tion of railway property in this State grows less from year to vear, and it is equally absurd to say that it is at a stand- still, The State increases in population and commerce widens and deepens in vol- ume from year to year, and the railway is not only the leacing factor in making their growth possible, but it participates | I in a greater degree in the good results ac- cruing than any other agency. More- over, the betterments which go into a railway improve its physical condition and correspondingly reduce the cost of operating trains. The value of a railway should be measured by its present and prospective opportunity to earn money, and henceé its earnings shoald be the basis for assessment for taxes. When the mile- age of a railway increases and its value remains the same or decreases, it is safe to say that itis an object of gross favoritism, and that appears to be the case with the Southern Pacific. Baut, notwithstanding the assessment of San Francisco is some $30,000,000 higher than last year, and that, too, in the face of the fact that movable property more es- pecially has decreased in volume, and hence in value, the Board of Equalization has, by the most arbitrary and unwar- ranted action, raised taxesin this City 20 per cent. The board did it yesterday, and it will be a day long to be remembered by the people of San Francisco. It isa vie- tory for the Southern Pacific over the people; and it is a reflection upon the good name of the State and a positive damage to San Francisco to have such methods employed by the Equalization Board. Itis the very opposite of equaliza- tion. It is putting burdens upon the taxpayers of San Francisco that cannot be justified by any kind of fair reasoning, and it is all the more aggravating because it is done to give the railways that which in justice does not belong to them, and what is worse, to railways that have always exacted a full pound of flesh from the commoner of San Francisco. The question 1s, If the Southern Yacific can saddle part of its own taxes upon San Francisco this year and oblige her to pay them, what guarantee is there that a still greater burden will not be put upon her taxpayers next year and for other years to come? The home market is the best friend of the Sarmer. It is his best market. 1Itis the only reliable market. It is his own natural mar- ket. He should be protected in its enjoyment by wise tariff legislation, and this home mar- | ket should not be permitted to be destroyed by lessening the demand for American labor and diminishing the pay of American workmen, and thereby diminishing the demand for agricultural products.—McKinley. INOCOMPETENT DEMOORAOY. On general principles the Democratic varty should not be trusted with the ad- ministration of the affairs of the Govern- ment. The history of the country shows that every Democratic administration did it a great deal mora harm than good, not so much because the Democracy has no brains, but because its theories of govern- ment have been always in opposition to the real needs of the country. The party was born wrong and out of sorts with the spirit of the age. It never has been able to understand that last year is not this year. It knows that Andrew Jackson was President of the United States, but it does not know that heisdead. When united in perfect harmony and Democrats every- where were of one accord the party failed utterly to comprehend the meaning of our system of government when given in charge ofit. To use a slang expression the Democratic party looks well on dress parade, but it gets rattled and spreads out very thin when there is real work to be done. If, then, when the party is as one man and isdirected by the best thought, the biggest brains and the most experienced of its number, it fails at every point when confronted by problems of state, what but confusion worse confounded could be ex- pected of it when deprived of brains and experience? This country can stand a goed deal of foolishness in high places, {and it can get along with kindergarten rulers for a while, but as a sound business provosition, administrations of that kind should be very few and very far apart. We have a Democratic administration now, and it is admitted by friend and foe that it and its immediate supporters have a cor- ner on the brains, wisdom and experience of the party, and yet a more humiliating if not disgraceful failure at steering the ship of state was never seen. Now, if the greatest men of the party are so incompetent what is to be expected of men like Bryan, Sewall, White and Alt- geld? It would be asking too much of them to give the country half as good an administration as Buchanan did, or as Cleveland is now giving. In fact, nothing better than a haphazard, experimental, try this and try that kind of a policy should be expected of them. How could they know what would be best and what would be injurious to the country, except as they guessed at it? After the country has recovered from the mistakes of the brains of that party and 1s swimming along in 700 much of a proud and disdain- ful sort of a way it may do to elect a Democrat, so that the people will have something to remind them that they are still upon the earth, but just now and for some years to come the fewer Democrats there are in authority the better it will be for the peace of mind and material inter- ests of the people. WAGE-EARNERS FOR M'KINLEY, Wage-earners of San Francisco are be- ginning to be very outspoken on the polit- ical issues of the day, and like their East- ern brethren, they see no relief from ex- isting stagnation in industrial life nor from enforced idleness except on lines that lead tosuch protection to our industries asmay be needed to overcome foreign low-wage competition. It would be im- possible to print the names of the thou- sands of workingmen in San Franeisco who are taxing an active partto secure the return of prosperity by espousing the candidacy of Major McKinley, but the following are representative workingmen and they voice the sentiments of their fel- lows everywhere: John Hammar, coppersmith, says: “I am going to vote for McKinley and pro- tection. The general sentiment of the masses is in favor of McKinley. Not be- cause it is McKinley, but because he is regarded asa man who is wedded to the protective issue, and that is what we must have.” C. Bosthorn, tool-maker, says: * *Work for laboring men will come only under a Republican President. We must have him,” Chris Krumbeck, teamster. says: “I am a Republican. I have found it the party ot prosperity—the poor man’s friend. Democracy may be all right for the rich man, but for the la- bc;rerlt is a good party to avoid affiliation with. George E. Hammond, planing-mill man, just returned from the Northwest, says: “You don’t hear any talk about gold and silver up there. No, sir; those men want work. They are willing to look out for the pay afterward. They say on all sides that the causes of the present unfavorable con- ditions are lack of protection and the lack of confidence in the Democratic adminis- tration.” C. R. Ny, machinist, says: *The only man to tie to, in my opinion, is McKinley, and I am goingtodoit. The Republican party can always be trusted. Its policy is always statesmanlike. Pro- tection is the only thing that will ever re- vive the drooping industries of this coun- try.”” W. L Stone, machinist, says: *“f am going to vote for McKinley. His elec- tion will mean that workingmen will see better times, I have worked as a machin- ist twenty years. Iam fully satisfied that Protection is better than free trade for me in every way.” - H. A. McIntire, machinist, says: “Let every workingman and every mechanic vote for his own best good, which is for protection for hislabor.” N.E. Flint, ma- chinist, says: “I will vote for McKinley for President. There are many reasons why I should vote for him, and I would find it very difficult to find a reason why I should vote against him. I do not see how any workman can reasonably vote against McKinley.” W. S. Dennis, ma- chinist, says: “Mechanical business has been growing steadily worse and worse, year by year, since President Cleveland was inaugurated. There are not half many machinists employed in San Fran- cisco as there were formerly. There is a reason for this which any mechanic can easily find. That reason is that foreign- made goods, produced at less cost than American manufacture, have found their way into the home market of the United States and have taken the place of our own products,” William Pohlmann, coppersmith, says: “Every man I know is going to vote for McKinley with a fow exceptions. The Republican party is identified with good ti.mes, with plenty and prosperity. De- mocracy is a synonym for demagogy and want.” Fred Loescher, flourmill foreman, says: “You may put me down for a Me- Kintey man. I think youwill have a hard job to find anybody else around here. We are all for McKinley, and when Ispeak [ speak for nearly every man in this mill.” A. L. de Mars, blacksmith, says: “Every |« one knows that work is scarce, that wages have fallen and tbat they are still falling, and that what we need is work, not theories of any sort. Isaid before that the Republican policy is safer than the Dem- ocratic policy, and every workingman ought to see that to be the fact.” PERSONAL. A. G. Foster of Tacoma arrived here yester- day. A.J.

J. J. Dolan, who has been mining in Mari- posa County, at different points near Coulter- ville, for some time past, is st the Palace. Mr, Dolen is & tall man with dark eyes, and abeard which is almost black. He is one of the pion- eers of California, and has mined in several different counties. He says Mariposa is doing some good work atthe present time in mining. He has been developing the Virginia, in company with some Chicago capitalists, and is now working a force of men on the Warner. “The Merced Gold Mining Company, which is known in popular langusge as the Montana Company,” said Mr. Dolan, “is doing the most work there, It hasabout 100 men employed. For some time pastit has had a force of men six-column report of a meeting of the Mapu- facturers’ and Producers’ Association, whicn‘ association is organized for the pnrgose l?‘. booming home-made goods. We had the cu. osity to go carefully over the paper for the urpose of finding out the number of manu- ?ncmrers’ advertisements in_that number. There were none whatever. But there were columns of advertisements of Eastern-made goods. Comment is entirely unnecessary. PROTECTION STILL AN ISSUE. Omaha Bee. Altbough Mr. Bryan has studiously avoided any reference to that plank of the Republican platform which declares for protection, and it is the policy of the free-silver party to keep this question away from public attention, still protection remains an issue, and millions of the American people are thinking about it \ L) J.

But there appears to have been doubts as to wheth- €t or not this could be legally done, and I un- derstand few, if any, men are working on it now. The ditch is about fifty miles long. “Three or four companies have started work at different mines in as many different places. ‘The Louisiena mine upsin the mountains is being developed. Other properties are being worked also. Iwas fora time pushing work on the Virginia. It wesa mine that had caved in and myself and Florence King, Paul Black- mar and Ferdinand W. Peck of Chicago got a bond on it. We hoped to clean it out, but did not have time enough, so we quit and I have now bonded the Warner mine, which I am now working. 2 “Conlterville has about 1000 peop'e in it now. There is a silver club hereand also a McKinley elub. The latter has twice as many members as the former. I think there is no doubt about Major McKinley getting & ma- jority in that section.” LADY'S WAIST. A simple waist 1s shown here. Itis one of those useful waists that look well perfectly plain and is yet susceptible of elaboration in any dfess. To makea meager wardrobe seem extensive It is appreciated by every woman, for if made of fancy silk it may be varied in- Qefinitely by simple devices of ribbon, lace, net, etc., with slight expense. The revers of lace are a novel idea, being a half yard in length, simply gathered at one end, Placed at the coilar and extending toward the sleeve they are equally attractive. Aneat and telling trimming is a piece of ribbon eight inches long and four or five e, placed along the shoulder from the collar and extending over the sleeve. This is edged with a rufile of black net, lace or chiffon. Fancy ribbons are most used, and a folded collar of the same, with an immense ‘bow in the back, completes this outfit, Fichus of net, chiffon, liberty silk, etc., are dainty and dresey.

It{s the opinion of some shrewd observers that this guestion will assume more prominence as the cam- paign advances. In any event,a very large Eroportion of the voters cannot be wholly iverted from the consideration of this ques- tion, in which are involved the ability of the Government to meet its expenses, the security and development of American industries and the creation and meintenance of a market for | American labor. Isis impossible that the millions of wage- earners whose interests and welfare are de- pendent upon industrial activity can wholly put out of mina that pelicy which in the past made the workingmen of this country the most independent, the most prosperous and the most contented among the world’s toilers.

Major McKinley Is not going about the country making speeches, but he is rendering powerful aid to the cause of honest money by just such sayings as the one quoted above. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
