2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WED ficulty and trouble confrontihg a large porticn of the Awmerican people. We are not so comfortable, we are not so con- tented, we are not S0 Prosperous as we were a few years ago. And where prosper- ity is impaired discontent is spread. “What is the matter with the conditions of the American people to-day? 1s there & man here to-night who guestions the truth of my declaration that the trouble with the American people to-day is that somebody eise is doing the work and re- ceiving the wage that should be received by the American workingman. [Great app'anse.] “We bave had in this country during the whole of my public life, and before that, a great controversy running along the line of what should be the best meas- ures for promoting the welfare of the peo- le of this country. We have discussed it in every way, we bave ransacked vol- umes of political economy, and stiil there is a difference of opinion. “T have gone over the whole ground of protection and free trade and we have car- ried that matier to the point of demon- stration. I stand here to claim judgment on the matter. I claim a verdict from the intelligent wage-earner that the volicy of doing the business of this country in this country is the best policy. I claim that it is demonstrated that the period during which the policy of protection of American industries exisied was a period of prosperi- ty unparalleled in the history of the world. It began under the firsy great Republican chief magistrate, Abraham Lincoln [Tre- mendous applause] and reached its cul- mination under the last Republican chief magistrate, Benjamin Harrison. That period of great prosperity will be resumed under the next Republican chief magis- trate, William [a roar of applause] Me- Kiniey.” When the applause had subsided and the speaker couid be heard he eaid, ‘“‘and now, my friends, let us_aunticipate the wave of success which sball roll over this country November 3 by rising to our feet and giving three cheers for William Me- Kinley.” The challenge was uproariously re- sponded to, Canes and handkerchiefs and hats went into the air like a flight of birds. Resuming the speaker said: “My San Francisco friends, we are not only going to elect McKinley ana Hobart by an overwhel ming majority, but we must have a strong Republican majority in Con- gress, and among them we need the help of your able representative, Mr. Loud, to whom 1 ask you to give a larger vote than ever before e has ably earned this mani- festation of your confidence by the un- usual influence he has established in the House. Few members have ever attained, 80 early in their service, the chairmgnship of s0 important a committee as thaton postoftices and post roads, and it is much to a district to have the benefit of the in- fluence that such a position gives. Mr. Loud is one of the strong men of the House and can go more for his constitn- ents than half a dozen new men. “There is no name that stands higher 1n the list of business experts than Pro.essor Munha!l of England on the question of the progress of the peoples of the earth. He isa student in this field, and in taking his data from the American census, says: *It would be impossible to find any paral- lel in all history for the progress in wealth of the American people for the period from 1880 to 1890." That was the period when the industries of the country enjoyed the lfg;\eficeu! protection of the McKinley bill. “Mr. Munhall says every day that the sun shines in the Unitea States it sees the accumulation of more than two and a half miilions of dollars, and that is more than one-third of the entire accumula- tion of all the rest of the world! “That is a wonderiul tribute to our peo ple. “Now, my friends, there has been a change our affairs and jin this story e 1892. Is there any doubt asto what 1t s? Itseems to me that all we have to do is to point to that record, to that splendid past where we rested only 2 few years ago we were,” and then point ‘and say, ‘Here we [Great laught, “I have a very clear idea of this Wilson- Gorman abomination as to its relation to the interests of California, and if I thought you didn't have an equally clear idea I would proceed to propound it to vou, but I don’t thisk so. [Applause.] Is tnere anym an here—a single individual—who does not know the effect on Cal fornia of the repeal of the McKiniey bill? voice—There is not one’—laughter.] “Now, my iriends, 1 know that in my own part of the country a great disaster has fallen as a result ot that unhappy leg- islation. . We are not doing the work that we used to do and that we ought to do. The work they used to do, the values they used to receive, have been transferred to England. Our people do not like it. The sound of the spindle was one tine sweeter to my ear in my own little town than was the song of birds. For it was the symbol of the prosperity ot a good ople. 1 was up there last summer. There was the same beautiful picture. The san shone, the river sparkled under 1t, the irees trembled and fluttered in the soft wind, and in their branches the birds sarg. But the mills—ah, there was a pall upon the landscape. The mlils were silent; the song of the spindle was not there. “I was in England since then. Isawan English wool manufacturer. He told me that he was enjoying great prosperity; his mills were running right aiong and he was laying the foundation for a new mill. He congratulated me on the fact that our people had come to a proper senze of political economy. and had repealed that McKinley bill which he declared was conirary to every principle of right. He realiy had no no- tion of the relationship between the clos- ing of the mills in our own country and the opening of the mills in" his. The Jast year of the operation of the McKin- ley bill $85,000.000 was paia in wages to tue wool-workers of this country, and in the past year $40,000,000 was paid in such wages. No less than $46,000,000 that should be circulating amongz the people of the country has gone to England. And all those dollars were good American dollars, worth 100 cents, and not dollars that shrink from 100 cents to 53 cents between Saturday pight end Monday morning. [Applause.] ““There isnot a man who has studied the question for a day who does not know that prosperity cannot be obtained in any country unless the wage-earners are allowed to work and earn and spend their wages. I have heard it said that what we want 1n this country is more money. That 18 true. As the American people do not steal their money, the presumption goes that what they want isa chance to earn their money. [Applause.] “There is a gentleman now somewhere in this country who is now, from the tail- board of a train or under the kerosene- lamp of a public square, who is trying to induce the people to =0 into the whole- sale business of issuing counterfeit money. {Great applause.] Now I happen to know that counterfeiters are not rich. They are just the poorest lot of folks that come in contact with the police. [Laughter.] Now I want to treat a serious matter seriously. I would treat it more so than I do, perhaps, if the man I am talking about would do so. Now the ideaof any man trying to prove to you that what is the matier with this country to-day was eaused by something that bappened in *“Ihe thine is 80 clear, the ailment may be s0 easily traced to unsound legislation since then that it seems almost idle to point it out. Ihave never seen any so- called argument in behalf of coining silver at 16 to 1 that was not based on statements as unsubstantial as the fabric of a dream. They say that by a stroke of a pen in 1873 one-half of the circulating medium was demonetized. That was the alleged crime 0f1873. They reason it out in this way: Gold is one, silver is another—that is two; silver was demonetized. Ergo, half the currency was withdrawn. “Now, when we consider tha{ up to that time only 8,031,000 silver dollary had been coined, how absurd that statement is ap- pears at once. Butsilver was not demone- tized in 1873. Every dollar that had been coined remained where it was, as good or Letter than it was before, acceptabie in the market for its face value. “But listen: The same act by which the crime of '73 was committed, and silver as they say was demonetized, provided for the coming of the miftions of trade dol- lars. Mind you, before that time, for thirty years, not a silyer dollar had been comed. Then in 1878, just five years aiter that crime, the Bland-Allison act was assed, under which 400,000,000 silver dol- ars were coined to offset that poor little 8,000.000. But still the unsatisfied mine- owners demanded that the Government purchase faster, and in response the sv-catled Sherman act was passed that provided that $4,500,000 worth of silver bullion be purchased every month and stored away, it could not be coined fast enough. They piled it up in ingots and set the presses running to print silver certificates. Under that law $100,000,000 worth was purchased. Since the ‘crime of ’73,) when $8,000,000 was in circulation, no less than $600,000,000 has been added to the silver currency and stiil the price of silver went down, down, down, until there was only 50 cents’ worth of silver behind the silver dollar. “Now, does Mr. Bryan think the peopls of the United States are fools that he is trying to make them believe the despond- encyprevailing in thiscountry results from the ‘crime of '78'? I can teil you how to raise the price of silver if you don’t know it. Just destroy haif there is in existence. And I'll give you another tip. Let this country become a constant buyer; let the Rothschilds send over their stamping machines ana American genius invent still faster machines for the coining of sil- ver and the price of silyer will go down. The reason why it fell during the opera- tion of the Sherman act was becausa peo- ple began to wonder how long the United States could keep up the purchase. “‘Confidence was shaken, and there is more good business done on confidence than on coin. [Applause.] A Democratic chief magistrate and a Democratic Secre- tary of the Treasury who had been making free-silver speeches and belmvmg them, just as Bryan in his ignorance believes what he says, called upon Congress to re- peal the Suerman act. “Mr. Bryan quotes the language of Mr. Blaine from a speech in which that great statesman was distinctly and strongly op- posing the free coinage of silver, at a time when there was cnly 8 cents difference be- tween the value ol the silver dollar and its weignt in bullion. He was saying that he desired to foster the industry so far as it could be done sately, and with a full knowledge of the misconstruction Mr. Bryan and his followers continue to quote those words. “Immediately after Mr. Bryan bad suc- ceeded in hypnotizing the Chicago con- vention into nominating him for the Presidency he went down to New York, into the camp of the enemy, as he said, to teach them finance. There ve made a studied statement of bis position. There were two points in that speech that call for our attention. He said that he wished to see it possible for a man to 0 into the open market ana purchase silver bullion, for every 412 grains of which be might pay off §1 o his debts. In other words he wants to Iuake it possible for a man in debt to clear himself at half cost. “What do you think George Washing- ton would say to a proposition of that kind? Well, advertising burglars do not succeed in their trade. Should the morning papers on the 4th of November announce thet Mr. Bryan bad been elected I fear to eontemplate the extent of the ca'amity. It wouid be an advertisement to every bunk, insurance company and other security concerns-that ihey were to be plundered, axd it would deleat its own end. “Between the 4th of November and the 4th of March we would see the most awful | liquidation that was ever witnessed on earth—men climbing over each other to collect what was due them. The mind recoils with horror from the spectacle of what wouid follow. You know how the big merchan months and how in such cases any clam- oring for therr dus would bring ruin. “Well, imagine what would take place in the cases of the tens of thousands of the small merchants when the big one swoops down upon them for an immediate settie- ment. +“But I do not fear. I trustin thein- telligence of the American people. They know that the man who counsels half of the people to inaugurate a policy under which they may cheat the other half is a public enemy.’”’ [Great applause. Congressman Boutelle concluded his oration with a quotation from Longtel- low’s “Ship of State’” amid tremendous and lonz-continued upplause. As soon as be could make himseif heard, Irving Mr. Scott proposed three cheers for Boutelle and three for McKinley and Hooart, which were given with a wiil and voice that made the rafters of the huge building trembie. LGS ANGELES WINKERS. Red Jacket, Red Dick, Captain Coster and Phoeda Capture Last Day's Running Races. LOS ANGELES, Car., Oect. 20.—The roces came to an end here to-day.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL.,Oct. 20.—Captain Fickert and Coach Cross de- livered talks to the football men last even- ing and gave them some good wholesome advice on football practice from now on and what would be expected of the play- ers. The men were advised to be on hand early for practice, to be careful as to their habits and diet, to use every means for improving their play individually. Last evening the men were out early and the practice was quite lively and the play better than seen here for some time. Jeffs, '98, last year's left end on the Var- sity, appeared for the first time this season on the gridiron. His performance was an example for the other men in his clever work at tackling and getting down on kicks, Cross was well pleased with his work. Cotton, '98, did some fine line bucking and showed his ability as an ag- Srenive tackle. Harrington, ’98, and ole, '98, each distinguished themselyes by long runs. —— Stanford’s Gymnasium Club.

SAN JOSE, CaL, Oct. 20.—The racing meet at Agricultural Park this afternoon under the auspices of the Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Driving Club was well ate tended and there was much interest in the events. When the first race was called there were about 500 spectators, a large proportion of them being laaies. The new system of having every heat decided as a race caused considerable con- fusion and was not entirely satisfactory. 1t was agreed that there was no test of the endurance of the animals, and under the old. system tne results of the races would have been very different. The time made was good considering the con- dition of the trac. use the course was heavy P. Williams’ horse Iago was not started to beat his race recora of 2:11: Trotting and pacing: Adele (J.

TERRE HAUTE, Ixp, Oct. 20.—There were 3000 persons at the track to see John R. Gentry make the attempt for the record of 2:00 for a harness herse, and they were sadly disappointed. The air was chilly and there was some wind from the north catching the horse at the third quarter of the mile, but it was not thought to be strong enough to defeat him in the task. In the trial he went away well and made the first quarter in :31}{, and was at the half in 1:00}4 and at the three-qnarters in 1:3014. The mile so far was exactly rated as -Andrews wanted it to make the two- minute mark or 1:59)¢. But the horse weakened on the turn into the stretch, and came under the wire very tired in 2:04}4. Andrews says it was caused by lack of work. The horse was simply not keyed up for the full length of the_ mile.

Y., Oct. 20.—A Herald special from Washington says that an un- successful attempt was made to swindle George W. Melville, U. 8. N, and a book agent named Frederick Smith dsin cus. tody.

PETERSBURG, Russia, Oct. 20.— The Viedomosti publishes some details of the latest massacre of Armenians at Van that were obtained from fugitives who have arrived at Etchmiadzin. The Kurds, who perpetrated the massacre, openly de- clare that they fulfilled the will of tbe Sultan. The story is the same as those that have been repeatedly told daring the past two years. The Kurds butchered the men in cold blood, kidnaped the prettiest women, buried children alive, outraged the priests and desecrated the churches. The work of the murderers was thoroughly done and there now remain no American peas- ants in the'vicinity of Van. LONDON, Ene., Oct. 20.—Lord Rose- bery, speaking at a non-partisan banquet at Colchester to-day said that he fully agreed with Lord Salisbury in the Pre- mier's Turkish policy.

STREETCAR MEN MEET, Some Interesting Exhibits and Papers Before the American Association. Bicycles Give the Various Suburban Companies Uneasiness and Lessen Patronage. ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 20.—The immense floor space in the Auditorium is covered with streetcars, trucks and all manner of modern vebicies on exhibition at the fifteenth annual convention of the Ameri- can Street Railway Association, which began this morning. Thisis the greatest exhibition of its kind ever given in this country. Over 200 representatives of streetcar marufacturers arein attendance. To-day’s session was opened with prayer, after which Mayor Nagel welcomed the visitors. President H. M. Littell of New York delivered his annual address, during which he said the association is to be con- gratulated on the fact thatduring the past year no deaths have occurred in its ranks. Papers of great value and interest will be read on the subjects of tracks and track jointing, construction and maintenanci trucks, how the street railways can be i creased, modern power-house and selection and management of employes. President Littell depreciated the growing disposi- tion of Government, both State and muni- cipal, to increase the burden of taxation for street railways. With reference to the bicycle as a means of reduced rey- enues, he said: *No doubt the bicycle has come to stay, and no doubt upon suburban routes its competition has been serious, but itis still to a great extent a novelty,and when the effects of the novelty have worn off and the use of the bicyele is limited to those who babitually make use of itall their lives I think there will still be found quite enough people who prefer street- carsas a means of locomotion, even in places where the bicycle can be used.” The report of Secretary Pringley showed the association to be prosperous in finances and mem bership. The Buffalo Niagara Falls Eleotric Railway was elected to membership in the association, CARNEGIE'S CLEAR VIEWS Business Activity, He Says, De- pends Upon the Eiection of McKinley. If a Man of Bryan’s Stamp Is Elected Commercial Affairs Wiil Be Paraly PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 20.—Andrew Carnegie leaves for New York to-morrow morning, ait-r spending several days in Piusburg attending to business matters. Before leaving, Mr. Carnegie complied with the requests of the newspapers foran interview upon _politics and business | matters. When asked for his opinion whether McKinley would be elected he said: x “Yes, I am quite sure of it; the only question is one of majority.” +*What do you tnink of the outlook for business ?” “‘That depends upon the election of the candidate who represents honest money, law and order. If a man like Mr. Bryan is elected and such men as would com- pose his Cabinet were placed in charge of the Nation by the American people there would be a paralysis of business, but if McKinley is elected I believe the country is going to havea period of prosperity that will rank with any in iis history. The country has been depressed for some years, prices for all commodities are low, stocks are light; wheat, cotton and pro- visions are in demand; the country will gain nearly $257,000,000 over last year in its trade balances with other nations; the money of the world is lying anxious to invest in the United States, and it will be largely invested whenever itis satisfied that the American people have resolved to pay in the same money as they have received—namely, gold. #It is no adyantage to an employer to pay his workmen with silver dollars. If every employer is able to do so then all are relatively in the same posilion as be- fore. The change from gold to silver would precipitate such a panic as would cause employers to lose huudreds of thou- sands of dollars, and it would cause large concerns to lose milltons.” S FUNERAL OF HENRY E.
