There is no need of two down- ries. but there is great need of one good The removal would cost the Mercantile a con- siderable sum of money, and the trustees cannot have hope of obtaining in the new quarters a cient additional income to make up for the cost. sequently the library will have to sacrifice some- thing for the mere sake of making an experiment. It | might have to sell many of its most valuable books— hooks that have a permanent worth—for of course nothing could be raized by offering novels and other common books for sale. Thus there would be at once 2 loss to the libraries of the city that would be suf- ficiently serious to amountlto a genuine sacrifice. San Francisco is the only considerable city in the United States that has not a great library. To that extent we are behind our age and our country. Con- sequently there is a deep public interest felt in every proposition relating to the Mercantile and to the Mechanics” Institute libraries. Tt will be a glad day for the people and an auspicious day for our culture when"the trustees in charge of the two institutions agree to arrange for their combination into one great library of which the whole city will be proud, and whose excellence will be sufficient to prompt liberal men to come forward and erect a building worthy of housing it 1f Bobs and Buller do not hurry a little they will not be able to take a Christmas dinner in peace this year any more than they did last year. however, support for a judicial has no other claim upon the place | this size, and is not likely to have | BRYAN, PROTEAN ARTIST. TO the workingman who had no wages at all in 1896 Bryan says that what he gets now ought to be increased. To the one who is earning more now than in 1896 he says that he should be earning more than he is. He teils the farmer that he is -not | getting enough for his wheat and the laborer that he | already pays too much for his bread. | Touring Republican States he arraigns the rate of | wages and attempts to make his hearers believe that in some way it is fixed by President McKinley, and that if he is elected President he will raise that rate. Of course by parity of reasoning he will double the price of wheat to the farmer and give bread to the laborer at half its present price. He is doing the Jack Cade to perfection. Jack promised his followers that every pint pot should hold two pints, and Bryan believes in that kind of pint pottery in politics. He has plunged in:o the politics off the coal strike and is trying to coin it into votes. His political ¢heory being that society must build on its diseases and its | failures, he goes where its diseases are, not to heal, | but to increase them. If President, what could he do to raise wages in Pennsylvania? Let him descend | from hyperbole, quit riding the air on metaphor and | submit a bill of particulars of the measures he will take as President to raise wages in Pennsylvania. If an prove that he as President can raise wages, it dent that President McKinley can raise wages. subject are therefore If he eannot prove that the President of United States can raise wages in Pennsylvania, then his speeches are false, infamous and the work of a mischief-maker and demagogue. But are there no low Pennsylvan Is labor n's speeches on the legitimate. the than in in the wages elsewhere downtrodden States that Colonel Bryan is trying to persuade into his camp? What wages are paid in the States that he does not have to persuade? What are the relations oi capital and labor in the States which are already for Bryan, where he need not put his magnetism on the market nor void his oratory to get votes? In Mississippi and largely thrbughout the South the Even a? only average wage of farm labor is $6 per month the coolies in Hawaii are paid $14. At 86 per month a man earns $72 per year. That is 20 cents a day. If Mr. Bryan become President does he intend to set his highly approved wage-raising yeast in Missis- sippi also? If so he should go down there and re- buke his devoted supporters for paying $6 a month It is an easy task for him to stand up and cal enemies in the North for pay- ing $20 a month to labor. That takes no courage. It is probably true that if the wage were $100 2 month he would denounce them for not paying $200. His trick in politics is to spread among men war against each other and discontent with existing con- ditions, no matter what their improvement upon what preceded them. If men who were marching five years ago in the ranks of Coxey's tatterdemalions are now getting $20 a month they are at least that much better off. We tily wish them success in getting five times better off than they are now But they are not to be bettered by Bryan's oratory, by the lure he holds out to them, by his promises which he never can per- His success is far more likely to re-enlist them with the bold and redoubtable Captain Coxey, to hit the highway again with bare heels and terrify the country through which they march But Bryan is going to raise wages in Pennsylvania: He is going to give us dear wheat and cheap bread. But what is he going to do for the $6 a month wage- workers in the Democratic State of Mississippi? He attacks the trusts for not raising wages as fast as prices have risen. But Mississippi cotton has risen 100 per cent, and wages stand at $6. Even if raised with cotton a man’s monthly wage would be no for- tune. Can’t Mr. Bryan go down South and get his widely known and justly celebrated handspike tongue under wages and raise them above $6? wages. denounce his poli form The Board of Education has issued to school teach- ers some very elaborate instructions on the subject oi darning. The board might have spared itself the trouble, as its actions have probably made the teachers proficient in the art. IN THE THIRD. THE CONTES NE of the most gratifying features of this cam- O paign is the renomination by the Republicans of California of so many members of the pres- ent House of Representatives. The lack of expe- rienced Congressmen at Washington has been one of | the chief reasons why California interests have not received more attention from the Federal Govern- | ment, and why our iivers and harbors remain com- | paratively unimproved. It is evident that Republi- | cans at least have learned the right lesson from the | experience of the past, and that hereafter they will | renominate and do their best to re-elect members of | the House who have proven their fitness for the po- sition and their fidelity to the service of their con- stituents. | Among the Representatives thus renominated is the | Hon. Victor H. Metcalf, the present member of the House from the Third District. No member better | merits a re-election, for none has a record during his | first term of better service to his party, his State and rcantile Library downtown would be the hegin—\\ his constituents. [ Mr. Metcalf's career in the House has been short, | but he has already made a marked impression upon | the more influential members of that body. When the | question of his renomination was under consideration | Speaker Henderson, who was then on a visit to Cali- fornia, said: “It seems impossible that there should | be any doubt of Mr. Metcalf’s return. It would be a | very great mistake not to return him to Congress. | Mr. Metcalf is an earnest, conscientious, intelligent | and untiring worker. California has never sent to | the Congress of the United States, within my recol- lection, a man who in his first term has achieved | such an enviable standing as has Mr. Metcalf, and it will be unfortunate not only for the Third Congres- | sional District but for the State of California if he | be not returned.” | An equally eloquent testimony to Mr. Metcalf's efficiency as a Congressman was borne at the same | time by the Hon. Smith McPherson of Iowa, who served during the last session with Mr. Metcalf and worked with him on committees. Mr. McPherson said: ' “I know of no man in Congress who worked hgrder or was more untiring in his efforts than was | Mr. Metcalf in standing by President McKinley and by that Republican policy which has brought this country out of the slough of despond into the sun- shine of prosperity that now prevails.” Speaking of his own experience in the House My, McPherson said: “I learned while in Congress that vice for his section than can a new member.” Every measure affecting the interests of the Pacific Coast engaged the attention of Mr. Metcalf, enlisted his sympathies and aroused his energies. | voted to the great Republican policies which tend to the welfare of the whole country, he did not overlook even the slightest of those bills which affect his own a man of experience there can do ten times more ser- While de- earner. State. ' Senator Foster of Washington, who noted his efforts on behalf of Pacific Coast interests, such as checking Japanese immigration and similar matters, s2id of him: “He worked not only in the interest of California but of the entire Pacific Coast; he was strong and influential with all parties, notwithstand- ing the fact that he was serving his first term.” With a record of such eminent service and with such'a reputation in Congress achieved in a single session, Mr. Metcalf deserves the vote not only of ail Republicans but of all sound-money Democrats and of all independents who wish to see California repre- | sented at Washington by a delegation which will ad- vance her prestige at the national capital to its right- ful position. The voters of the Third District owe it to the State to re-elect Mr. Metcalf, for if a Congres- sional career be opened for him by his constituents he will soon command the chairmanship of an impor- tant committee and take rank among the most influen- tial of the younger Republican leaders of the House. | O — ‘When Mayor Phelan consented to become Willie's sandwich-man his Honor probably had no suspicion that the yellow sheet would begin to lash him as soon | as he placed himself in his self-erected pillory. e i HUMAN RIGHTS. ‘{ HE president of the Wells-Fargo Express in a }Trecent eructation for Bryan has declared with | the solemnity of a Bunsby that “there are mat- | ters of greater moment than money or trade, viz, | human rights.” We are curious to know whether | this modern Pecksniff had in view the right of poor ! mortals to be exempt from the extortions of tax- shirking corporations when he fulminated this re- markable declaration. Ever since the imposition of the war tax the express trust has successfully resisted its payment and sadd! this burden upon the shippers. The poor serving-girl who desires to send a parcel to her family must con- tribute an extra penny in addition to the regu- !lar charge to help out the express company. The | net profits of this Wells-Fargo Company, as shown | by its own statements, have been over a million dol- lars annually since the war tax was levied, and all upon an original investment of only $500,000; and | still when the suit to settle the question as to whether the shipper or the company should pay the tax came up lately for hearing in the Supreme Court, after a delay of years, the attorney for the company gravely argued that it was the philosophy of all revenue laws to make the consumer pay the tax and that it would be unjust to throw the whole burden upon the ex- press companies of stamping the receipts instead of distributing it among the shippers who stood in the position of consumers. This same express Don Quixote, when charging the windmill of “imperialist” in an attempt to rally the workingmen for Bryan, also declares: “And yer there is an all-sufficient salvation. The laboring man is a citizen and a voter, and the wage-earners, as a whole, are numerous enough to decide the election.” And he winds up with the startling announcement, “I shall vote for Mr. Bryan,” so putting himself in the line of laboring men. Let us examine the record of this president, of a member of the express trust, in the light of a wage- It is a notorious fact that the employes cf Wells-Fargo are very poorly paid, and it is understood that this is due to the economic views of the presi- dent, who has full control of this subject. A canvass among them shows that the drivers and freight hand- lers get from $20 to $60 a month, those working in the auditing department from $15 to $60; and the clerks generally from $30 to $90 a month. The president and a few officials and high-priced attorneys who fight off the war tax are better paid. The president draws the modest salary of $25.000 a year. 1t is related that during the hard times of 1893 and 1804, when he was earning his salary by writing up the gold standard, there was a ques earnings of the Wells-Fargo Company being sui- ficient to keep up the dividends to stockholders, and to avoid this calamity and the possible loss of his po- sition Wage-earner Valentine issued an order for a cut in the wages of all the employes, ranging from 10 to 20 per cent, and announced with a great flourish | that his salary would be included in this cut; but ! soon after he recouped by having himself elected | president, with a salary of $5000 a year, of a bank in Portland which was controlled by the express com- pany, and he held this sinecure place and drew this $5000 salary, in addition to that from the express | company, for several vears and until the bank be- came insolvent under his administration, when the | stock was sold out for assessments and bought in by the express company, leaving a total loss of their in- vestment to the outsiders. The bank is now run as a branch of Wells, Fargo & Co. All this came out | lately in the trial of a suit at Portland brought by some of the outside stockholders against the corpora- | tion to recover the value of their stock, and claiming | that it was sold illegally and in furtherance of a | scheme by the express company to freeze them out. | When that bank collapsed the wage-earning president | had the subservient board of directors of the express company increase his salary $5000 a year as president | of that company, and in this way he co-operated with | the other employes of the company in a reduction of ;wages. What a shining example for the laboring | man to follow! Herein may we look for the practical | operation of an “all-sufficient salvation.” | There is a funny story now in circulation that a year or more ago the late Collis P. Huntington | gently took this wage-earning president in hand and | suggested that he might perhaps the better earn his | salary by devoting his time to the affairs of the ex- | press company and permit the national administration | to look after the General Government, at the, same | time hinting that a vacation of a few months would | enable him to drop out of the public gaze and then return quietly to his duties; that the wage-earner | took the hint and a vacation of eight or ten months, | not forgetting to draw his salary meanwhile, and | finally came back from Europe and remained quiet ' as a mouse until the death of Huntington, when he | immediately began to belch for Bryan. Curiosity is | now excited to see whether the next president of the | Southern Pacific will put another bridle upon this | wage-earner or give him a permanent vacation. The local counterfeiter who pleaded that he had a good reputation until he was caught will now have an opportunity in San Quentin to learn a code of ‘morals which is not based on deception. William Jennings Bryan appears to be affected by a weakness of memory. In his many enumerations of his friends and supporters he persistently neglects to name the greatest—Aguinaldo. | When Bryan warned the people, “If you wish the gold standard, do not vote for me,” he uttered the one sentiment in all his oratory that the people will | accept, believe and follow.

The principles enunciated in those Populistic declarations of politicai faith |are, in my opinion, unsafe unwise and | unpatriotic, hurtful in thelr present effect | an® dangerous to the future welfare and | prosperity of the country. | In the eloquent words of the great | Gharles Sumner, delivered at a trying | period of his political history, “there are | matters legitimately within the range of expediency and compromise, but the ques- | tions now before the country are of an-| | other character.
