The United States might haye paid. as the Conféderate States paid, but those who helped our country in her Hour of need were paid for the risk tafen. Since those dark days we_paid $3,000,000,000 of debtsand kept the Nation’s homor untar- nished. As Senator Hawley once said, bond is as sacred as a soldier’s grave. Is there any one present who is not proud of that record? Ome of our’ mext battes was. whether or not we should 1ssue unlmitéd greenbacks. They say greenbecks carried us through the war. I believe we could have got along witnout them. In any event flat money must be limited in quantity. Legisiative bodles are sure to be asked to overissue thig species of money. We were in a big hole and the question was how to get out. Surely not { by digging the hole deeper and having a longer climb.

He then jritroduced Speaker Reed, and th re was ‘more noise and plenty of it. Mr. Reed | spoke for more than an hour in a semi- | humorous vein, but at times he was quite | -sarcastic’ when speaking of the Chicago tform and its-followers. In substance id: = {es and gen{lemen of California: Lassure I appreciate tiiis cordial greeting.

I want you to follow. his subject. - Ido mot wish to say anything sectional, but its majority came from south of Mason and Dixon’s line and the men of the South heve not the business train- ing and education of those of the North. They donotdo the businessof the country in.the. South, and Iventure the assertion that mot ofe in ten Northern Democratswould have proposed the Wilson tariff bill il i control of the party. I want to offer an apology and an_excuse far the Demodratic. party.- It is my ancient foe and I hate to see.it disappear entirely. Butif it has got to go I am glad to see it g0 asitis going. Its best men are coming to us and they may like us well enough to stay. But those who are left of that party seem to have a greut desire to have us discuss some other subject besides ihe one they once said the Nation's salvation depended upon. I believe that in the near future their sole request will | be to have the mountains and rocks fall upon them and complete their snnihilation. KBere the speaker took up the silver guestion, and. at the commencement of bis discussion of the subject'said: I confess that I hate to botner with. this question. . After several mouths’ study seems to me so trivial as to not deserve the attention it is getting. Nations are like individuals; they often | imagine something ails them, and it is often ! notiiing but imagination: They conjide up some térrible ili and then fix as the cause something that has nothing to do with it on earth.” They tell you about the “crime of 3.” . For years I have sat in the House ‘of Representatives and-heard what I Knew. were Demiocratic speeches by thesz allusions to that imaginary crime. Eachand evesy one of them in his speech alluded to the stealth andsecrecy of the alleged crime. Ihaveread 100 columns of the debatesupon the subject in the. Con- gressional Globe. The question was referred and reréferred to committees; and it was, you might say: doneon the housetops; yet when these speakers arose in their places oit-upon | the circumambient air there would float those doletul words, *‘the stealthy and secret crime of 1873 2 Isaw & good answer to the. “crime of 1873" wail in' the streets of an Illinois town.

Two Senators from Nevada had largely to do with it, 2 It. was entirely unnecessary for Mr. e 7 Reed to tell the audience who they were, | for’ many whispers of Stewart and Jones ran through: the hall. - He then alluded to the “panics and hard times of: the past, both in:United States history and in the history of other countries, and wanted to know if ‘demonetization of silver caused them, : i 2 Let me tell you what causes hard times. ‘It is human nature: Human nature requirés its 1t goes uphiil and:down-dale, and when in the .dale- should not.accept the advice.of every queck doctor and take all" the quack medicine offered. 1t°las but to ascend anotber hill and prosperity is. often in sight.

They hdve'done this five times in the past and avill Most probably do it in the future. Oh, but they sdy give ns silver at 16 to 1 and we will haye prosperity; but they give us N0 good'reeson 10t their nssertions. They say we need more money; say we need more capi- tal. Money does not make busfness, but busi- ness makes money. We want labor and capi- tal fo be married. [Applausé.] Business is net dependent upon gold and silver, but upon configence. Confidence puts capital in mo- tion. Without confidence no one -loans ana no one can borrow. The man worth $100,000 in real property can getno money to do busi- ness with; men will teke no, stock in the future. There wss less. money in ecirculation in the period after 1879 than now, yet we prospered smezingly. From 1873 to 1879 we nad bard times because nobody had confi- dencé jn those noisy greenbackers. After 1879, when everybody knew the greenback was as good as gold; everybody felt that pros- perity wonld come and it did. The Chicago platform is now casting its dark shadow over the fand, gnd when that is cleared away good times wilf eome again.” [Applause.] Thereis more-anarchy &nd repudiation in their plat- form than was ever before written upon white The speaker dwelt at some length upon the need or creditin a nation oran indi- vidual, and said we could borrow many iimes," but could repudiate but once. In. conclusion, he said that he had no‘?nlked tariff because it was unnecessary that audiénce. . That question, he s: was settled, and it had been determiged that Americans should do the work of Amer- There have been times:|. ica. A good, rousing majority was needed to settle the question forever, and to ap* peal so stiongly to the country that even the United States Senate wouid be moved. “Now,"” said the man from Maine, want you all to stand up,” and when the audience had responded to this request he contintied, “‘and give three cheers for Mc- Kinley and the Republican party.” Then there arose a volume of human voices that was clearly heard in the courthouse a mile away. - : / And don’t forzet,”’ he continued, *“that - Congressinen who will assist him, and Mr. Barham of this city is a man. who wili do so.”” = After cheers for Rarham, the sveaker and others the immense crowd dispersed. The visit of Speaker Reed has done more good for the Republican caus» here than all else in the campaign, and there has been nothing said or done upon either side to mar the pleasure of the day. s L e CARPENTER AT SANTA CRUSZ.

Oct. 30.—The fifth great rally of tue Kepublicans of Santa Cruz district took place this evening at the pavilion, where Jjudge Carpenter of Los lAugelea spoke to 3000 hearers. He was escorted the length of Pacific avenue by the McKinley Cadets of Santa Cruzand the McKinley-Hobart Club, and when in- e, £l troduced by Chairman Galbraith received ILEITA : | an enthusiastic weicome and an attentive hearin His judicial reasonings upon I of supply and demand relative to the silver question were among his main points, and his direct exposure of the folly of free trade was received yvith cheers for McKinley and protection. 'He closed with a grand peroration, saying: McKinley, my friends, seeks to-lift the toil- ing masses of the United States above the de- ‘hasing -influendes of pauper labor.

Eddy was the last and prin- cipal speaker of the evening. He was en- thusiastically received. =~ He ° discussed the issues of the campaign from a Repub- lican'standpoint. He was frequently in- | terrupted by applause. "His speech was one of the ablest and most eloquent heard here during the campaign. He held the Democratic platform up to the light and pointed out its defects. The financial question was well handled. He eulogized the Republican standard-bearers and con- cluded with an eloquent tribute to each of them. WOODLAND 8AN DIEGU EiPUBLICANS. George A. Knight Speaks to a Large Gathering on the Plaza. SAN DIEGO, CaL.,; Oct. 30.—George A. Kuight ‘addressed one of the largest crowds of the campaign to-night on the plaza. Mr. Knight's voice was hoarse, but he made himself heard plainly by all, and delivered a witty, forcible and persua- sive specch, He arraigned the Democratic platform and the speakers who upheld it for their open adherence to principles which would result in anarchy and bloodshed in the United States if allowed to be carried out. “But 1 have faith in the sensible, god- country, and know ihat they will never allow such a party to get into power in this country,” he said. .On the financial question Mr. Knight | spoke very scathingly, holding up his op- | ponents to alternate ridicule and con tempt for their attempted infraction of natural laws in trying to legislate value into silver. 5 2 .

Residents North of the Bsundary Greatly Iaterested in the Campaign. VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 30.—A CaLL correspondent has just/returned from a trip through the Slocan country, where the rich silver deposits of British Colum- bia are located, and finds thatin thatlo- cality great interest is being taken in this Presidential campaign. There are hun- dreds of United States citizens resident in Southern Kootenay and the Slocan who are owners, or largely interested in the de- velopment, of-large silver deposits, and they are unanimously in favor of the election of Bryan and the -adoption of a | policy of free coinage of $ilver, In aadi- | tion to these citizens of the United States, | the sentiment entertained by Canadians whose interests are bound up in the en- hanced value of the white metalis in fa- | vor of such legislation in the couvntry south of the 49th paraliel as will result in a “‘boom’’ in silver properties. The mines now shipping are but a small proportion of those which will, when an enhanced price is cobtainable for silver, proceed to dump their products upon the market. ‘Near Sandon are a number of claims which have been recently staked, and, which, from surface indications are the richest silver-vroducing clgims in the world. A body of ore several hundred | feet in ividth and which can be traced for upward 6f a mile back will be developed | to its'mimost capacity immediateiy on re- | i ceipt- of the assurance tliat the United | States mints will be ovened for the coin- | age of silver at a price_even much below that spoken of by the ‘Bryan orators, and the output of those mines now shipping will be greatly increased. Viewed from the standpoint of those interested in Brit- ish Columbia silver properties, nothing could benefit them more than the election of men pledged to free-silver coinage, and there is little wonder that those whose patriotism is subordinate to their love of gain are anxious and willing to do allin their power to assist in the return of Bryanand his supporters, A= a contrast with the strong Bryanite jeeling in the -silver mininig districts of British Columbia, where a large number of properties at present comparatively ‘worthless will obtain 2 value by the enact- ment ot silver legislation in the United States, the more patriotic sentiment en- tertained by those who are interested in the steady growth and natural Gevelop- ment of the mining indusiry of the province was strikingly evidenced in the South Kootenay district. Merchants and capitalists of Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, whose investments in the gold mines of the Rossland and Trail Creek districts .are more of a side issue, and whose interests in the businesses with which” {hey are con:ected in their own | States are iheir chief conceru, stated when interviewed that in view of the commer- cial disturbances which the return of the Democratic - candidate - wéuld produce, they would willingly sacrifice all tneir in- terests in foreign properties rather than jeopardize_their larger and more import- ant f{inancial investments in their native | country. 3 Taken altogether, the question to be de- cided at the approaching Presidential election is the most potent for good or evil for the silver miners of British Columbia of any which has arisen within the his- tory of the country. ol T DEMONSTRATION AT LARKSPUR. General Dickinson and District Attor- ney Martinelli Speak. SAN RAFAEL, CaL., Oct. 30.—At Lark- spur, Marin County, a large and enthusi- astic Republican meeting was held on Wednesday evening, at which addresses were delivered by General John H. Dick- inson, candidate for Joint Senater for the Lleventh Senatorial District, and Hon. E. B. Martinelli, District Attorney of Marin County. A brass band from Sausalito was present and_ enlivened the proceedings with choice music. Mr. Martinelli spoke very emphatically and plainly as to the necessity of support- ing the Republican ticket, and in this connection of supporting the legislative ticket also; besides the election of Mec- Kinley it was necessary to-have a Re: publican Congress to support him, in order that the country may reap the benefits of protection arfid again return to prosperity and progress. General Dickinson said the issues of the present. campaign were reduced 10 two— free silver and protection—and ke vigor- ously assailed the one policy and sup- ported the other. In conclusion he said: I entreat you to cast aside any prejudices or passions which you have, or even predilec- tion for your party banners and party calls of the past. Consider only whatis best for yon to ao, and in considering act reasonably, basing your judgment ubon your experience; and if ‘you do this I feel satisfied that next week you will cast your ballot for the Re- pubiican party, which when it came_into power reccived as legacies from the Demo- cratic party a Nationaldebt incurred in time of peace, o war greater than Any other of modern times, a disunited coun’try; a party which | prosecuted the war to a successful fssue and ! which contipuaily reduced the public debt incurred by reason of thal war during evary year that it was in power; & party that during the time it was in autkority kept our ma- chinery in motion and our laborers at work; party that has always stogd the friend of the tno! and oppressed; & Tty that gave us incoln, the great, the merciful, the just; that gave us Grant, the greatest soldier oi his age; that gave us Bluine, the father of reciro- city and the promoter of protection; and that will place at the head of the Government, backed by a Congress in sympathy with the princivles of the Republican party, that great exemplar of Repubiican principles, who is now belore you asking your suffrages in be- half of right, lib-rty. justice and equality— William McKinley of Ohio. ————— BENICIA WELCOMES PERKINS. The Senator Compares the Records of the Two Great Parties. ~ oo BENICIA, Car., Oct. 30.—Hon. C. Perkins was this evening given an ova- tion in Benicia. The old State Capitol building was crowded, and hundreds conld not gain entrance to the building. C. P, Stevens opened the meeting and intro- duced the speake: . Mr. Perkins commenced his address by praising the American people ana Ameri- can enterprise, and urzed Americans to use their citizenship as a gift of priceless value. He paid a handsome tribute to the women of the State, and urged the adop- tion of the sixth, amendment. The Re- publican party, he said, had carried oml the policy of its every platform 1861, botb in spirit and letter. The Democratic party has not. During Harrison’s administration all classes of people had employment, but when Cleve- land was elected tu.e financial clouds gath- ered in the horizon and one by one the great business houses went down, factor- ies closed and for the first time in the history of the country hordes of un- employed commenced to traverse the land. . - —_———— WHITE HEARD AT SAN DIEGO. More Than Half cf His Auditors Wear Yetlow Radges. ; SAN.DIEGO, Car., Oct. 30.—Senator Stephen M. White spoke at Fisher Opera- house to-night to a large audience. The yellow badges of the .McKinley voters were sprinkled so thickly through the hall that the speaker found himself confront- ing a crowd more than half opposed to him. 2 Yet there was not a single hiss, disor- derly remark or interruption, and the free-silver advocate got a respectful if not a very enthusiastic hearing. Senator White devoted his attention to bolstering up the money planks of his platform. * He claimed tnat the cry of repudiation was not true, and in the next | breath said that if the United States persisted in bringing about a bi- metallic - standard England would be forced to do soalso, in order to serve her creditors as we served ours. He admitted that the silver-mine owners would make the first profit on silver, bat said the cost of mining would be so zreat that it would be very liitle, und that after the silver had been coined then the benefit would be felt by all. The audience was clearly against Senator White, though bis easy flow of language was enjoyed even by those who failed to find his customary logic. iy L AP 1.UOS ANGELES PARADE. The Xowung Men’s IJepublican League Manages a Demonstration. LOS ANGELES, CaLn, Oct. 30.—The Business Men's Sound Money Club of this city gave the Young Men’s Republican League the use of Hazard’s ravilion to- night, and right reyally did it improve the occasion. The league organized one of the largest and most brilliant evening parades witnessed here during the cam- paign. 1t was assisted in this by the Americus Club of Pasadena, conceded to be the niost elegantly equipped and best drilled marching club in Southern California, nlndbn large number of other young men’s clubs. The procession passed through the cipal business street of the city an rin- | ceived a tremendous ovation all along the Ling of march. Grand Marshal Schreiber had charge. Short but stirrine speeches were made at the Pavilion by W. E. Arthur of Pasadena, 8. M. Haskell of Pomona, Luther .G. Brown, George A. Hough and J. W. Bar- ber. The great pavilion was packed by an enthusiastic audience. McLachlan’s name was cheered to the echo. SR A Last ally at Selma. SELMA, Carn, Oct. 30.—Hon. J. W. Johnson of Omaha spoke here to-night to a house crowded to its full capacity. It was the closing Republican rally, and the people were full of enthusiasm, cheering the name of McKinley at every mention. Mr. Johnson never allowed the interest of his audience to flag for a moment. He read the money plank of the Damocratic arty platform of 1892 with telling effect. Mr. Johnson spoke in Kingsburg last night and had a rousing mweeting. He wili speak at Lemoore to-morrow night. % e Tioods in China. <TACOMA, Wasm., Oct. 30.—C. Bernard, a merchant living at Shanghai, who arrived on the steamer Victoria from the Orient yesterday, brings the report that the river Peiho, in North China, has again overflowed its banks and trans- formed the surrounding plain above Tientsin into an extensive lake.

A.YOUNG MAN - Enters the most dangerous pe- riod of his life when he: “learns the ropes” of social excesses and dissipation. The frivoious ha- bits of the young men of to-day cause the wreck of many a promising young life. There are too many temptations and too many young men fall into them. Health, mental and physical power are sacrificed. ‘.Nerve force is wasted and the physical body is made tired and weary. Life loses its ‘joys and brightness leaves the eye. But all this can be remedied in the proper way. Nature gives us electricity with which to replace nerve power that has been lost. DR. SANDEN’S ELECTRIC BELT Is a grand remedy for weak men. It makes people strong. “Your Sanden Belt is giving -the greatest satisfaction. I am really sorry I did not use it years ago instead of all the medicine I took,” says G. Olsen, 11 Telegraph place, San Francisco.

The Citizens' Non-Partisan Party was called Into existence by a conaition of affairs In the Clty Gov- ernment familiar to all. 's deplorable condition continues fn an aggra- | vated torm. 1t has therefore mominated In the interest of g00d government, and irrespective of party poli- tics, a ticket which It asks the vote:s In the City to support. The return of the bosses to the scenes of thelr nefarious operations, the ¢ailure of justice in deal- ing with these conspirators, and the open orga: zation of corruptionists, have compelled the Non- artisan Party to weed out doubtful or known bad men, and piace before the voters of this city men who are belfeved to be honest and honorable. Each candidate indorsed by the Non-Partisans has signed a pledge, which is on file with the sec- retary. to conduct the affairs of the City economl- cally, honestly, and on business principles, and embracins the following obligations: Provide for the fullest enjoyment of religious Iterty; Pub ic schools to be liberally supolied and eco- nomically managed: Total tax levy not to exceed $1 on the $100 on assessed value of $300,000,000. One-twelsth Act mgldiy enforced, and no ex- penses Incurred except by authority of the Super- visors: Golden Gate Perk to bs hinproved for the benefit of the people; expense not to exceed b cents on the $100. Streets and sewers to be Improved, superintend- ent to be a civil engineer, and business methods employed: Eight hours a day’s work : home labor. and ma- terial to be preferred L n all cases: County Clerk’s oftics to be run within $6000 per month; City and Countv Surveyor's fees, cost of janitor service at Clty Hall, and shorihand repor:ing to be reduce All departments of Clty Government to be re- moved from partisan politics; Free use of Telephone by City: no franchige or extensions granted without direct benefit to Clty: Itisthe purpose of the Citizens' Non-Partisan Party (0 see, as far as in its power, that such can- dates, it elected, shall carry out their pladge to the jetter. Every citizen recognizes the demoralized condi- tion of our Municipal Governmeut, aud will adm't that constant watchfulness s necessary 10 s:amp out existing abuses and prevent the growth of others. Good officers need their arms strengthened agains: schemers and temptation, and- falthful officers are entitled to support: while those who fall in their duty, or yield to the debasing influ- ence of the bosses, or o the Cirect or indirect Dribes of corporations, should be mace to feel the strong arm of the law. The Citizens’ Non-Partisan Party’s alm is o s~ cure to the City of San Francisco a good govern- ment, and for this purpose its organization will continue until its alm is accomplished. 1t is therefore fustified In asking the effective | and earnest support of all citizens or San Fran- cisco, frrespective.of party politics, In its efforts (0 secure st the coming election good officers for the City of Sen Francisco.
