POLITICS OF THE PACIFIC COAST Perkins and Barham Ad- dress the People of Ferndale. Facts and Figures of Vital Inter- est to That Great Dairy Center. PROTECTION VS. FREE TRADE. Hog, Corn, Lumber, Egg and Other In. dustries Contrasted With That of Silver. FERNDALE, CAL.,, Oct. 22.—Ferndale, ihe great dairy center of Northern Cali- fornia, was alive to-night with hosts of people for miles around, who came to hear the eloguent ex-Governor George C. Perkins and Congressman Barham in sup- port of McKinley, sound money and pro- tection. A grand torchlight procession paraded the streets, anvils were fired and huge streamers with appropriate emblems were suspended in numbers across the streets. It was the greatest demonstra- tion ever witnessed. in the history of this place. The large Hall of Records, where the speaking took place, could not accommo- date half. The meeting was opened by E. C. Damon, tandidate for the Assembly from the Third District; Judge J. A. Stidger, J. C. Bull Jr. and Peter Early, vice-president: The procession and meeting had two bands. After a few ap- propriate remarks by the chairman of the meeting, Hon. J. A. Barham was intro- duced, receiving an ovation. Following is a synopsis of his speech: 1t is not more money we want, butan op- portunity to earn some of the money which is already coined. Protection affords the oppor- tunity. .Under protection two employers seek one wage-earner. Under free trade two wage= earners seek one employer. Suppose you coin silver so that it will reach from the earth to the skies, how will you get any of it except by working ‘for it? Money musi be earned by 1abor, and why should ndt a laborer receive as good & doliar a8 any other person on earth? He compared the industries of the country and showed that silver is one of the smallest in the United States. He illustrated by the hog, corn, marble, lum- ber and other industries, showing the in- significance of the silver business. Con- tinuing, he said: The egg industry amounts to four times the output of silver, and the old hen is still scratchivg for a living and sne is not eackling before the doors of Congress to have her fruit stamped by the Uaited States Government to raise its value. You cannot legislate value into anything. If Congress could fix the value of anything then it could establish the vaiue of hogs, gran and other products and com- modities. The ratio between gold and sil- ver can mever be permanently fixed by the Government. alone, as it has ever been chang- ing. Atfirstit was 1 to 1, the metals were equally precious, butas the output of silver became greater than gold the ratio changed in obedience to the law of supply and demand, 1t has fallen from 16 to 1 to 32 to 1, the present commercial ratio. The only vossible way to maintain a_fixed ratio is by an international sgreement between the leading nations of the world. He showed that Jefferson demonetized the silver of our daddies in 1806 by sus- pending the free coinage of the standard dollar, and that it continued suspended for thirty years and through Jackson’s term, he said. Did anybody ever accyse these great men of a crime in the demone- tization of silver? Not a bit of it. His speech was remarkable throughout for simplicity and was the mostconvincing exposition of the silver question ever made in Northern California. It was received with great enthusiasm and will carry this connty by 1000. At the close of Mr. Barham’s speech ex- Governor Perkins spoke. - He dealt mostly with the tariff, giving home illustrations of the evil effects of the Wilson-Bryan bill; showed that the wool industry had | depreciated under free trade $150,000,000-~ { enough to construct the NicaraguaZcanal | and build “ten baitle-ships. He showed a | 10ss to the farmer of over $1,300,000 in cat- tle alone in one year under the Wilson bill; also a great loss in the dairy and cheese business, in which the people of this sec- tion are much interested. He made a most masterly presentation of the tariff question, which is the great paramount issue before tle peovle. He deprecated the Bryanite appeal to arouse one portion of our feliow-countrymen against another and said there are no classes in this country—each man is equal before the law and all are in the enjoy- ment of religious and civil liberty. The opportunities afforded to all American citizens is unparalleled in the history of the world. Here a motherless boy, without money and with- out friends, bad risen from a railsplitter to the highest gosition in the giit of a zreat and free people. The opportunities under American law and American equality had given this country Abraham Lincoln, J. A. Garfield acd U. 8. Grant.

S MAJOR KYLE AT FORT BRAGG. Addresses @ Large and Enthusiastic Meeting of Republicans. FORT BRAGG, Can., Oct. 22.— The most enthusiastic meeting of the cam- paign was held at this place last evening under the management of the McKinley and Hobart Club, the speaker of the even- ing being Major C. W. Kyle of San Fran- cisco. Red Men’'s Hall, the largest, au- ditorium in the county, was packed to the doors by an: audience which listened at- tentively for two hours to Major Kyle’s eloquent and unanswerable arguments in favor of the great principles advo- cated by the Republican party and his perfect exposition of the fallacious issues which are being forced upon the people by the Bryanites. The statements made ina speech by the Democratic nominee for Congress at this place a few evenings pre- vious were completely refuted, and an elo- quent tribute was paid to J. A. Barham for his excelient labors in Congress in be- half of the people of this district. A pleasing incident occurred during Major Kyle's address. A comnittee repre- senting the high school and nogmal classes of the Fort Bragg schools presented the major with three beautiful bouquets. The major paused in his argument to thank the committee and paid a glowing tribute to our rising generation and our schools, showing how our youth may rise to the eminence that McKinley is sure to attain after the 3d of November. A tre- mendous outbarst of applause from the multitude followed. Much good will re- sult from Major Kyle’s speech for protec- tion and sound money.

Cator as saying in conversation on a train between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles: ‘“If Bryan is not elected, this will bethe last election ever held in the American repub- lic'"; that resort would be had to Winches- ter rifles, and that he (Cator). would take 10 the saddle.

TRIUMPH FOR SAN DIEGO Judge Torrance Sustains the Le- gality of the Recently Issued Water Bonds. The Case Stubbornly Fought by the Flume Company to Preserve Its Monopoly. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Oct. 23.—Judge Tor- rance to-day decided in- favor of the city in the case brought by Albert Meyer and others to have the recently voted water bonds declared illegal. The city on June 27 voted to issue $1,500,000 bouds for the purchase of a water right of 1000 inches and the construction of ‘a distributing system. A contract was entered into with the Southern Cahfornia Mountain Water Company to purchase the water right and to secure a guarantee irom the company to bid a certain figure for the construction of the plant. The plaintiffs contended that the city had no right to enter into such a contract and that the company could not fulfill it. A great many points were involved, some of them constitu- tional. 3 Judge Torrance holds that the city had the right to enter into the contract, that it is valid and binding on‘both parties, and that the bonds voted to carry out the con- tract are valid. He says that as the charges of dishonesty, bribery and 1illegal voting have been voluntarily withdrawn by the parties making them 1t is con- ceded that the action of the Council and the election were honest and' the expression of the will of the voters fairly and honestly given. Therefore, the courts have no right to stand in the way of the will of the people unless it 1s shown that the law has been violated in materia! points. He finds that this is not the case. The city has acted within' constitutionaf Iimits, the procedure has been legal and binding upon both parties and the propo- sition carried by more than a two-thirds vote of the people, so that the bonds are unquestionably valid. he decision is regarded as a great triumph for the city, as the case was stub- bornly fought by the San Diego Flume Company, which is now supplying the city, and is naturally averse to losing its monopoly. ' e SAN DIEGO STEAMSHIP LINE. Will Run From That Portto Mexico and Central America. SAN DIEGO, Car., Oct. 22.—John H. Bullock, general manager of G. 8. Kim- ball & Co.; who propose to put ona line of steamers between San Francisco and San Diego and Mexican and Central American ports, is here making final ar- rangements for wharfage facilities with the Santa Fe Railroad Company. Arrange- ments are already completed with pilots, who state that port charges will not be allowed to stand in the way of the com- pany making this port a stopping place. Arrangements with the Santa Fe provide for the same rate between Los Angeles and San Diego as between San Pedro and Los Angeles. A recent meeting of citizens in Los Angeles held for the ostensible purpose of inducing the Pacific Mail to cail at Santa Monica is beiieved to be a move of the Pacific Mail itself, with a view of discouraging competition. Mr. Bullock will go south to Mexican ports from here. —— Watkins Committed at Sar Diego. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Oct. 22,—Jefferson I.
