Being deeply impressed with the gravity of the situation, we conceive it to be our sol- emn duty to oppose with all our strength the assaults made by the Chicago platform of 1896 on individual freedom, the right of private contract, the indepen- dence and integrity of the Federal judiciary, the au- thority of the President to enforce the laws and to de- nounce its advocacy of the radically wrong and fun- damentally dangerous demand for the free, unlimited and independent coinage of silver and gold by the United States at the ratio of 16 to 1, and its repudia- tion, at the instigation of Republican and Populist rty are not going to be misled.

There can be no compromise with those who propose to support Mr. Bryan or any other candidate on the Chicago platform Under the circumstances it would seem to be the plain policy of the conservative Democrats to support the Repubiican candidate, but that course does not attract the Indiana stalwarts. They stand by their principles of free trade and sound money and set pol- icy aside. Their object is to provide for a ticket on the platiorm of Palmer and Buckner and to invite the co-dperation of all gold Democrats in the movement So far as the present campaign is concerned these supporters of genuine Democracy against Bryanism can hardly hope to effect much, but they are doubtless looking to the future. The Bryan movement, which was at flood tide in 1896, is still strong enough to dominate the Democratic masses this year, but it is rapidly los- ing force, and the men who are reasserting the old Democratic doctrines will serve as a guard to rally the scattered hosts, after the November defeat, around the flag of the ancient faith. To all appeals made tothem by time-serving Demo- crats they return the reply that there can be no com- promise between the conservatism of true Democracy and the rank radicalism of Bryanism.

F:New York Sun it is learned that the officers of 1 the division of pomology of the Department | of Agriculture purpose to make a vif(orous effort at the Paris Exposition to widen the European demand for American fruit. To that end particular care will be taken to convert the Germans. The writer says: ! “All the leading German horticulturists have been | invited to,make a special examination of the Ameri- | can exhibit. The Germans have barred out our ap- | | | | ples, and even our dried fruits, on the ground that the San Jose scale, which is very destructive of orchards. would be carried into their country on the fruit. Leading scientists of this country, and of Germany 2is6, have proved several times by experiments that | this cannot be the case. Still our fruit is kept out of Germany. The department officials are confident that the great battle between science and prejudice will be | iought. out successfully at Paris this summer.” The largest single exhibit will be that of the appl= | induvstry. It is said to be the finest ever made by the United States, and includes about 2500 barrels, rep- | resenting the orchards of the entire country. As the | exhibit was a volunteer one, some States have very | large collections, and others, while sending smaller cxhibits, are thoroughly represented. California has 230 barrels, and Missouri sends from her magnificent orchards in the Ozark Mountains about two hundred barrels. There are large: exhibits from Michigan, Ihrois, New York, Indiana, Pennsylvania and North | Carolina. Virginia, Connecticut and West Virginia | are represented by very choice examples of a great rumber of varieties, although the aggregate in each | ic not large. New' York sends 200 bushel boxes, | showing the standard line of best keeping winter apples. While the exhibits made by Eastern orchards nat- urally have most prominence in the article ofi the | Sun, the splendid work done in California is not | overlooked. The writer says: *“One of the finest fea- | ures of the horticultural exhibit will be furnished by | | the Californians, whose Legislature appropriated $70. | 000 for the purpose. They intend to send all during | the fruit season this coming summer, fortnightly, | specimens in refrigerator cars and the refrigerator compartments of the ocean steamers, of pears, plums | and peaches. They will also send grapes as soon as | the new crop comes in.” There are good reasons for believing the efforts | made by the Agricultural Department to break down | the barriers of prejudice against American fruit will | be successful I | | | | | | | | | In fact, the strong opposition which has been made by a powerful section of the German people to the meat bill is an evidence that the agra- | rians, who have sought to exclude all sorts of Ameri- can farm products from Germany, are by no means | so dominant in the empire as they were a few years | ago. With such an object lesson as our fruit-growers | can present to the world at Paris, it seems probable ' destroyed the batteries on Corregidor, | the last vestige of prejudice will be overcome. In the | efforts of the Government officials to accomplish that result California will cordially-co-operate.

O the Editor of The Call: In your is- sue of March 26 appears a letter from J. H. Chalker, chief engineer, U. S. R. M., now serving on board the cut- ter McCulloch, which, as you say, takes issue with me on the fact of,the Ralelgh | having fired the first gun at Manila. Mr. Chalker quotes from the reports of Ad- miral Dewey and Captain Gridley, saying that the Boston and McCulloch fired at El Fraile, and not ‘mentioning the Ral- eigh. He, however, fails to quote from my own renort to the admiral or from the re- port of Commander Wood of the Petrel the vessel next astern and on the Ral- eigh’s quarter, WHICH REPORTS ARE FOUND IN THE S..ME BOOK AS THE OTHERS FROM WHICH HE DOES QUOTE, and in which the Raleigh IS mentioned as follows: Commander Wood ” “The position of the Petrel was ourth from the head of column, astern of n 1 | the Raleigh and ahead of the Concord. ‘We passed in through Boca Grande, about | one mile from El Fraile * * * at 11:10, a rocket and light were shown from Cor- regidor Tsland and just as the Raleigh and Petrel came abreast of El Fraile three shots were fired from a shore battery on the rock, these being promptly replied to | by the Raleigh, Concord and Boston.” Now arguing from the stand and quota- tions of Mr. Chalker, the Concord did not fire at El Fraile, because neither the ad- miral nor Captain Gridley mention it, and vet Commander Wood mentions her firing T saw and heard her firing and her execu- tive reports her having fired, and both the some time before the Boston did. This is not a supposition nor is it based on arguments The fact that the McCulloch fired at the same time as the Boston, as stated by Mr. Chalker, proves conclusively that she did not fire the first gun, as the Boston did not fire until after the Raleigh had fired and passed and the Concord had afterward fired and passed. This is not hearsay, but absolute knowl- edge on my part. By the deck clock of the Raleigh she fired her gun at 12:10 a. m., but next day, finding our clock different from that of the Olympia, in m: a. m., €0 as to try to have all the times | correspond as nearly as possible with that noted on the fiagship. No two deck clocks on bhoard the same ship ever corre- spond for any length of time, as they are cheap at best. Referring to Lieutenant Rodman having ete., as 1 wrote you, I have to state again that that is the actual fact. My report to Admiral Dewey shows that on May 3, 1898, we destroyved about four and a half tons of ammunition for those different batteries, got the breech plugs of eight big guns, cut the breechings, broke some | manipulating gear, split the recoil cylind- | ers and carried away and threw over- hoard about a ton of other manipulating gear, and rendered all the batteries guard- ing the entrance to the bay unserviceable. That, in military parlance, is destroying the batteries. \When we got through with them they were in a condition of “innoc- uous desuetude.” Seven of the eight breech plugs taken that day (May 3, 1593, when to the United States in the Raleigh; the | eighth one, a 4.7-inch, was given to the Manila when we armed her, and is now | in use on that vessel in one of the guns taken from one of the destroved ships. Some months after we had put the bat- | | | the desired end, but the sooner the policy is entere.j | the batteries were destroyed were brought | | There is absolute safety to the treasury in the fact | teries hors de combat it was reported to | that no payment can be made until in each and for each voyage the work is actually performed. As we have before stated, it is certain that no vessel,“great or small, fast or slow, in the list can afford to make a single voyage without also having a large commer cial business income from the same voyage, and in doing which commercial business she is fulfilling the | great purpose of the bill.” | Whether the amended bill, safeguarded in the man- | ner stated by Grosvenor, will have the effect of | silencing the inveterate opponents of American com- merce may be doubted, but it will at least have the | effect of compelling them to shift their ground and take up a new position of attack. The clamor raised | against the original measure was based almost whoily | upon the assertion that it was devised in the interest of a few large corporations. That assertion cannot with | even a show of truth be made against the new bill. | Against attack from that quarter it is impregnable. | Of course, some other means of fighting the meas | | ure will be devised. = There are large and powerful | | interests backing the ocean lines of other nations, and | they will do all that is within the scope of their re- | sources to prevent the upbuilding of an American | merchant marine to compete with those lines. It is ‘W@*O*MOH*'OO‘Q—J@ D e e S Sl estimated the American people pay $200,000,000 an- nually to. foreigners for the ocean transportation of | Am@tican commerce, and the profits derived fmm: that vast expenditure are too large to be surrendered without a struggle. The fight, therefore, will go on, | but the prospects of victory for American commerce are brighter than ever befove. In fact, there are now | good reasons for expecting the passage of the bill | at this session, and should it be so. the Republican party can go before the people in the campaign this fall with the record of having fulfilled every pledge of the platform on which McKinley was elected in 1806. EXCLUDE JAPANESE COOLIES. T is amusing that, after The Call had stated the l case and developed all of the facts regarding the invasion of this coast by Japanese coolies, the Ex- aminer professes to have discovered the matter and is chewing over, every day, the facts as we stated them. There is nothing new to add to what The Cail disclosed as to the evil or its remedy. It is an international matter and can be adjusted only by amending existing Japanese treaties or k- ing a new one. All of the pages printed by then& aminer and defaced by its notions of art state noth- ing new. It is a matter for sober-minded and prompt treatment. Its settlement is not possible in any other way than The Call had pointed out before the Ex- aminer had thought of the matter. Its expletive and sensational treatment by Hearst's twin papers cannot advance but rather may retard a proper adjustrient by treaty. e It is noteworthy that every step forward toward the exclusion of Chinese coolie labor was taken by those whom the Examiner opposed and abused. That paper thinks that the way to do things is by bucking up against a post and yelling like a drunken hoodlum. Its frantic screaming on this Japanese guestion now is | done to divert public attention from .its recent per- formance to adv8tise the'existence of bubonic plague in San Francisco.
