INCE the Spanish war there has been much talk | S of a growing antagonism on the part of the | people of the various countries in South | America against the United S!*s, and fears have | been expressed lest it might lead to injury to our | commercial relations. In fact, a conference has been | called at Madrid of all the Latin races and some inti- | mations have been given that one of the objects of | the conference is that of promoting trade between the | Latin countries of Europe and those of South America, to the exclusion, as far as possible, of trade | between ourselves and the South- Americans. ing reliability of them renders it gratifying to have a statement from Irving B. Dudley, United States Min- | ister to Peru, to thedeffect that cur trade with that country has been increased rather than diminished | by the war and is now in a flourishing condition. In | an interview Mr. Dudley is quoted as saying: “The | increased prestige of the United States since the war | has wrought such a change in the minds of the citi- zens of the country to which I am accredited that | more than ever there is a desire for things American. | Our trade with Peru has doubled in the past two |ycars. This is due largely to the fact that the sugar | of that country, which theretofore had been shipped | direct to Liverpool, has been diverted to the New e ”» ! York market. In discussing our trade with South America gener- | ‘a!ly Mr. Dudley notes that the most serious handi- | cap under which we labor is the lack of shipping. | That lack, indeed, has been noted in every quarter of | the globe, on every ocean and in every important port. | Mr. Dudley is reported as saying: “What is needed ..1406 G st., N. w. | tc develop the trade of this coast with Peru is better | justice to the,teachers and a serious reflection on the transportation facilities. Now the principal articles which are imported from this part of the United States are lumber and wheat. These come principally from California, though Oregon gets a share of the trade. It is expected that there will be a development of cqn- siderable passenger travel through San Diego by rea- son of the rate of $200 from Callao to New York made by the Cosmos line of German steamers. It is by reason of their direct lines of transportation that the English and Germans now control the trade of Peru. With more perfect facilities there should be shipped many products which now are imported from Europe. One thing which should form a consider- able item of California’s trade is wines. The Peru- vians use a great deal of claret, with their meals prin- cipally, and this should come from here.” The need of upbuilding an American marine has long been felt, not only by the merchants of the country, but by producers of all classes of goods that are exported in large quantities. | imports and exports show enormous balances of trade our favor, and yet it is known those balances are ily reduced by the tribute we pay to foreign ship- owners who carry our ocean commerce for us. We pay the foreigner for transporting our exports and we pay him for bringing in our imports. It is a literal case of catching us “coming and going.” The pay- ment of this tribute amounts to nearly $1,000,000 a day, and that includes the direct loss only, taking no account of the trade we lose by reason of lacking a ¢ | merchant marine of our own to promote it. The Republican party stands for that governmental | policy which logically sanctions liberal legislation in the direction of supporting American shipping. The Philadelphia platform declares: “Our present de- pendence upon foreign shipping for nine-tenths of our foreign carrying is a great loss to the industry of this country. It is also a serious danger to our trade, for ite sudden withdr in the event of European war would seriously cripple our expanding foreign com- merce. The national defense and naval efficiency of this country, moreover, supply a compelling reason for legisiation which will enable us to recover our ormer place among the trade carrying fleets of the world.” That is the Republican pledge upon this important iesue. Democracy has nothing to offer. As it has been always opposed to protection to American farms and factories, so it will continue to oppose American | ship-building and ship-owning. If we are to have an {~American marine worthy of the name, the people must continue the Government in the hands of the of progress and prosperity. There is discomforting evidence that a new germ is floating before the excited brains of our curious Poard of Health, and anything in the nature of the sbsurd is likely to happen. One of the worthy gen- tiemen wants to make San Francisco the Paris of erica. | THE DECAE_NCE OF BRYANISM perts study the whole country from a standpoint R | t5 the effect that during the last two or three weeks { there has been a notable weakening in the force of the Bryan movement. Had a vote been taken a month ago Bryan would have received a larger vote than he would to-day, and he would have more vote: to-day than he will receive in November. His strength is diminishing in every section of the Union, and were the campaign to last two months longer he would hardly carry 2 single State outside the solid | Scuth The reason of the decline is attributed by political experts to Bryan himseli. As one of them puts it: | “Bryan has talked himself out.” He has shown in his later speeches none of that seeming sincerity and cour- | age for which people used to give him credit. On the | qontrary, he has been evasive, tricky and false. Before the Dainocratic convention met he began his canvass the fight should again be made for At the dictation of Tam- by declaring tha the free coinage of silv any Hall he shifted his ground so far as to make “imperialism” the chief issue. A little later, finding | that issue unfavorably received in the South and by | hie Southern supporters, he began talking against | trusts. From that point he was warned by Croker, | and since then he has contented himself with vague | declamations against the army, against prosperity and against the Supreme Court. The effect of these various changes has been disas- trous to his following. His campaign has fallen flat. 1t is nothing like the tremendous sweep he made in 1806. He has not furnished his party with a single | campaign cry, a single argument or even a telling phrase to be quoted in the press or shouted from the | stump. He has gone on from blunder to blunder, | urtil now he has sunk to the level of the lowest dema- | gogy. He has lately been telling workingmen that | there is a growing tendency to use the army to settle strikes, to shoot workingmen, and similar wild things which are as false as they are wild. As a result of the weakening of Bryan’s canvass it is noted that Washington has almost ceased to take an interest in the Presidential contest and is turning its attention mainly to the fight for control of the House of Representatives. The fight for that branch of the Government remains close, and the result is still doubtful. It is therefore highly important that Republicans in every Congressional district should he alert and active in supporting their candidate.

No Sensible Man, He Says, Can Support Bryan on the Silver Issue, the Only One It is a safe wager that the “divine healer” who has come to San Francisco to work wonders and who, in order to prove his supernatural gifts, is willing to be buried alive in Golden Gate Park, won’t go home The wide circulation of such reports and the seem- merchant | Reports of our | EPORTS from Washington, where political ex- | unvexed by the noise of a local campaign, are | and blow out the gas. | JUSTICE TO THE TEACHERS. | Y all law, human or divine, the workman is | B worthy of his hire. A community that does not ! pay those who have been faithful in its service ' is a dishonest community: San Francisco is indebted | tc her teachers. It appears that under the law there is no way by whicl’l\at debt can be paid except by the | adoption of a constitutional amendment. Accordingly an amendment has been submitted to the voters authorizing the city to make the payment. That amendment should be adopted. It should receive the | vote of every man who goes to the polls. | For the purpose of bringing the issue to public at- | tention the teachers have prepared a statement, which | was published in The Call yesterday. It is short, and | we republish it in order that any one who may have | overlooked it may have another opportunity to read it. It runs thus: : | To the Voters of California: Vote Yes on Senate con- stitutional amendment No. 15, which is the seventh on the ticket. This provides that the city and county of San Francisco may at any time pay the salaries of its teachers, due for servicés rendered in November and December, 1898, because: 1. The failure to pay these salaries was a great in- i good name of the city. . San Francisco meets the entire indebtedness; the State at large pays none of it. 3. San Francisco Supervisors to pay these claims. 4. It has been legally determined that the only means of paying this debt to the teachers is by the adoption of this amendment by the State at large. No class of public servants renders a more impor- tant service to the community than the teachers in our public schools. Most of them are women having no votes and consequently they cannot exert political | fcree to obtain what is due them. It is therefore the | more imperative that the general body of citizens | { should take care of the rights of the teachers, amd in this instance no good citizen should neglect his | duty in that respect. Bear the amendment in mind j | and vote for it. There is a shrewd suspicion that when the Govern- | ment of Colombia returned to George Gould the yacht that was to have been transformed into a fighting ship our southern and fighting friends thought it best to | get rid of a toy somewhat too dangerous to handle. | ‘ MR. M. C. SLOSS! ‘ | HEN the voters of the city go over the list of W candidates for Superior Judge they will find none more worthy of support than M. C. | Slass. Under our system of elections candidates for | | all offices are nominated on party tickets, and so Mr. | Sloss stands as a Republican nominee, but no man | ! | | will more truly represent upon the bench the desire | of the whole people for an impartial, non-partisan and | upright judiciary. | Mr. Sloss, while still a young man, is well known in legal and commercial circles. He is a member of one of the most honored families in the city, being The amendment permits, but does not compel, the |- | free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1? a son of Louis Sloss of the Alaska Commercial Com- pany. His training for the bar has been thorough, | and in his practice he has been engaged in some of the most important cases before the courts of recent years. ! Having begun his education in our public schools, | Mr. Sloss was prepared for the university at Belmont. He graduated from Harvard in 1890 and immediately entered the Harvard Law School, taking his degree in 1893. Returning to this city for the practice of his profession, he became a member of the firm of Chick- | ering, Thomas & Gregory, and has been with the firm for seven years. During his studies and in his prac- | tice he has given special attention to commercial law | and probate law, two branches of the profession of | great importance in this city, where such large com- mercial interests are at stake and such great estates are to be administered. The people of San Francisco who have had any business with the courts are well aware of the value | to the community of having upon the bench a Judge | who is well grounded in the general principles of law. | A large part of our litigation is due to the errors of | Judges, whose decisions the Supreme Court has to 5 overrule. The new trials ordered in these cases block | the courts and stop the progress of other cases and ‘ thus cause a good-deal of that delay in getting final decisions which is so vexatious to the public and so harmful to business. | The systematic and careful training which Mr. | Sloss has had at Harvard and in the seven years of | his practice will enable him to give decisions that will stand the test of the higher court and thus save time and expense to litigants. That he will be impartial | and faithful to the best traditions of the bench is not to be doubted. His clection will therefore be a pub- lic benefit, and he merits the support of all good citi- zens, irrespective of party. D e — | | { [ | | again traits of loyalty to his friends which so endeared him to Buckley. The Supervisor has placed ‘himself in stubborn resistance to an investigation of the affairs Supervisor Braunhart is displaying those of the local Treasurer because the Treasurer com- | mitted irregular acts to accommodate the Supervisor, | Sammy’s ideas of public duty are inspired / by his thoughts of private advantage. | 1 | Mayor Phelan’s row with the yellow kid seems not to have affected the lessons of immorality which his Highness was taught in the school of the untruthful | saffron youngster. His Highness has had the audac- ity to say that Bryan will carry California. Southern Pacific officials confess that in Alameda County they have a hoodoo freight train which is al- ways getting into trouble. A few damage suits would, very probably, remove the hoodoo. [~ Among the issues which should not be overlooked in the campaign is that of electing a clean judiciary. Partisan considerations should determine no man's vote in the election of a Judge. San Francisco will have the honor of welcoming another President of the United States within her gates. A month after his second inauguration Mc- Kinley will be our guest. Europe is said to be closely watching our campaig.n, but it is safe betting she doesn’t understand it any more than the average girl understands a baseball match. Prince Hohenlohe has resigned the German Chan- cellorship because he could not agree with Emperor William’s Chinese policy. The Prince is still out of jail. ¢ . ILLIAM GLASMANN, editor and proprietor of the Ogden Standard, one of tthe leading-newspapers of -Utah, has abandoned the cause of ‘William J. Bryan, and announced his intention to support President McKin- ley for re-election. He considers the silver question the “paramount’’ issue be- fore the people this year, despite the at- tempts of Democracy’s standard-bearer to keep it in the background, and as he be- lieves that the free coinage of the white metal would bankrupt the nation, he has turned from the Bryanite forces and Joined the party of prosperity. An inter- esting statement by Mr. Glasmanu fol lows: ' Editor San Francisco Call: In 18% I stumped the State of Nebraska for Bryan and silver, making seventy-two speeches, but I cannot say a word for the Nebraska statesman this year. Practically every nation on earth has repudiated siiver as standard money, ex- cepting Old Mexico. The last named country is the only one on earth that has free coinage of silver. for President in 189 the following nations were on a silver or bimetallic basis: Population. 13,000,000 South America . Central America China, . Straits Settlements France . Add to this the United States and Bryan would have had at his back in case of his election in 159 over a billion people of this earth, or over two-thirds of the earth’s population, in favor of the free coinage of silver. But within four months after Bryan's defeat and befors McKin- ley was sworn into_office, Russia, Japan, several South and Central American states and India repudiated the silver standard, over one-half billion people | switching to the gold standard at almost a moment’s notice. Since then China with her 383,500,000 people has been cut up into spheres of influence and placed for all in- tents and purposes on the gold standard. So we find of all the silver standard coun- tries in 1896 only Old Mexico that still maintains the free coinage of silver. Cen- tral and South America, Slam and the Straits Settlements have not changed their money standard from silver to gold, but even in these nations the exchange and trade is valued and measured in Eng- lish, American, French or German gold. The only nation on earth that measures its values in silver is Mexico So instead | of a billlon people backing the free coin- age of silver, as they did in 1896, there are less than 75,000,000 people even after { we count Centrai and South America, Mexico, Siam and the Straits Settlements. Therefore, 1 contend that any man who | thought the United States was powerful enough’ to _maintain the price of silver alone in 1896 must concede now that the United States cannot maintain the price of silyer at the ratio of 16 to 1, independ- ent of all other nations and in direct op- position to over four-fifths of the world. The ratio of 16 to 1 means that the United States will coiy an ounce of silver worth 60 cents into $129 and redeem it in gold on demand. Where will the United States get Seven billion dollars in gold to redeem the silver that the world will dump into the United States mint uildlezr year-old school child can readily see that the world's silver will come to the United States if Uncle Sam offers $129 for every 60 cents’ worth of sllver in existence, ev- ery .plece of plate and sllverware as well as foreign coin would be melted and sold to_the United States. Therefore, I cannet support Bryan on the silver question, as I maintain that the free coinage of silver by the United States without an international agreement will banklrupt the United States and all her eople. As the silver question was the only rea- son why I supported Bryan, it will readily be seen that no semnsible man who has Before the People. | UTAH DEMOCRAT WHOSE LOYALTY TO McKINL s | ABOVE PARTY ISSUES. |1 o+ studied the money question can this year | support Bryan on the silver issue, and that is the only issue before the people | this year, though Bryan and the Demoe- | racy are trying to keep silver in the back- | ground, well knowing that if the question | is fully discussed this year their defeat | will become greater than in 1895. | 1 support President McKinley because I love my country; because I am an Ameri- | can; because every fiber in my body re- | bels agalnst the policy of furnishing either | ald or encouragement to the men who | are now firing on our flag and shooting at | our soldlers. It was public sentiment that | caused President McKinley to declare war | against Spain, even before the nation was ready for the fight. How grandly and no- bly the boys from all over the land re- sponded and in ninety days humbled the proud kingdom of Spain need not here be | told, but this Philippine rebellion is but | the ‘outcome of the Spanish war which the people of America demanded, and as one American who favored the Spanish | war, I am going to stand by President McKinley until he finishes the job. Can a person distinguish between the promises of Bryan and McKinley made in | {15962 Bryan sald times would be harder | in four years if McKinley was elected, while McKinley said he would make “times better, much_ better.” Which has prophesied correctly? Much of the prosperity is now invisible | because hundreds of millions of dollars have been used to pay off mortgages cre- ated under the blight of Clevelandism. Hereafter the surplus that has been pay- ing off debt will be used for luxuries and improvements, and if McKinley is re- | elected times will improve as much over | the present four years as the present four | years are improvements over the four | | years of Grover Cleveland. Seeing all this, knowing all this (for proof ask the | statistician of any State as to the num- | ber of farm and other mortgages paid off | under McKinley), how can I do otherwise than vote for and support that grandest | of all statesmen, Willlam McKinley?

His large banner swings across Main street, San Rafael, with no mention on it of Democratic nominee, and many of his cards are similarly printed. This will doubtless mislead many voters who favor the Republican party, but who will vote for Mr. Wilkins because they know him and like him. One phase of Mr. Wilkins' fight that should be condemned is the active work being done for Mr. Wilkins by Warden Aguirre of San Quentin. This Republican office holder and an appointee of Gover- nor Gage is openly advocating the elec- | tion of Mr. Wilkins. The attention of Governor Gage will be called to this lack of party loyalty, for a State Senator is such an important position that all Re- publicans should stand solidly for their nominee. e Pointer for Valentine. | Angels Record. | It would be a great deal better if John J.
