REPUBLICAN LEAGUE CONVENTION.

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE CONVENTION.
The following resolutions were adopted
by the Republican league convention at
its recent session In this city:
Believing that il is not the province Of
this convention to formulate platform for
the Republican party, we content ourselves
with the following declarations:
First-We heartily approve the strong,
able and successful administration of PreSi-
dent Harrison. We recognize in the action
of the president, the members of his
cabinet, and the Republican leaders in the
late Congress such wise, conservative and
patriotic policy as will insure prosperity and
promote the interests Of all our people. We
especially commend the policy of reci-
procity whereby the trade of this country
will be increased by commercial treaties
with other nations, and we cordially COM
mend the vigorous foreign policy which has
characterized this administration.
Second-We commend the unexampled
liberality of the late Republican Congress
in granting pensions to ex-union soldiers
and sailors, their widows and orphans.
Third-We recognize the obedience of
representatives to the expressed win of the
people as the essential principle of Repub-
lican government, and we, therefore, CON-
mend the late Republican Congress for It's
faithful adherence to pledges of the Repub-
lican platform of 1888.
Fourth-We endorse the American doc
trine of protection as essential to the main-
tenance Of our industrial independence and
the dignity of American labor.
Fifth-We especially commend the policy
of the administration in the opening Of the
public lands TO settlers and trust that this
policy will be continued, and that all re-
naming public lands may be opened TO
actual settlers ss rapidly as possible; and
We also commend the administration for its
application Of the principles of local self
government to the territories for the first
time in the history Of the nation.
Sixth-We commend the liberal financial
policy of the administration by which over
$60,OOO,OO0 of silver has been added to the
circulation during the past year. while
paper, silver and gold have been maintained
at par, and we are heartily in favor Of the
coinage Of the full output Of the silver
mines of the United States.
Seventh--We endorse the Republican
state administration and condemn the last
House Of Representatives Of this state for
wastefulness and extravaganza. We also
condemn il for its attempt TO enact laws
tending to arouse alarm and distrust and
destroy the credit of the state; and we de-
nOunce the leaders Of the Peoples party
for their malicious misrepresentation of
the resources and indebtedness Of the peO-
pie Of this state, TO which miSrepressnts-

same rate or let it lie idle in their vaults?
Fifth-If the people loaned their own
credit to themselves at 2 per cent, pay
ing per cent. upon time deposits, could
not the borrower pay not only the inter
est but also one-slxteenth Of the principal,
as easily as he now pays 8 per cent. in
terest? And would not that furnish an
annual loanable fund Of $25O,OOO, 900, If
there were $4,OOO,OOO,OOO loaned out to
begin with?
Sixth-Does the american Banker
think that the farmer would borrow just
for the fun of the thing, or Is it prepared
to admit the falsity Of Mr.. Porter's mort
gage statistics? ask this question, be-
cause il Mr.. Porter tells the truth, less
%, S,O0O,OOO,OOO would pay off all the pres
emit existing mortgages.
Seventh--When these mortgages were
paid OIL, what ~ould those to whom the
money was paid want to do with such
money, unless they either invested it In
legitimate productive enterprises, or
loaned it out at 2 per cent?
Finally, few words in reference to
the depreciation Of the peoples money
which the american Banker effects to
fear 80 greatly.
In the first place the people would Is
sue not promises to pay money but
money itself, full legal tender money,
thus putting 1t out Of the power Of those
who own what little gold there is in the
country to treasonsbly depreciate their
cOuntry'S currency by putting premium
upon gold. A full legal tender, absolute
paper dollar will never, never depreciate.
In the second place the American
Banker is entirely losing sight of, or pur-
posely ignoring, potential factor which
Is In fact the solvent of the problem. l
will briefly state the law governing the
case, thus: The value Of currency may
be safely increased In an inverse ratio to
any reduction Of interest that may be
made. l will go further than that and
affirm that II it ls not so increased It will
be equivalent 10 contraction of the cur
rency. Let me explain. Income pro-
ducing property 10 woEth that amount of
money upon which it viii pay the prevs-
lent current rate Of interest, hence a
farm that will pay per cent upon $1,000
Is worth $1,000. But if the current rate
Of interest Is reduced to 2 per cent. the
farm at once becomes worth $4,000, there
fore reduction Of interest from 8 to 2
per cent, unaccompanIed by an increase
in the volume Of money to three times
the former volume, would have the same
effect as IL s2 out Of every So were re-
tired from circulation, interest remain
ing at the present rates.
The american Banker need have no
fears butthat the people know what they

SPECIMEN ROT.

The Kind of BOsh Eastern Bankers Expect
the CredulOus Farmer to Swallow.
To the Editor of THE ADVOCATE.
If circulating notes we're issued TO all
the farmers who want to borrow, how much
would such notes be worthP Perhaps the
value Of farms and their equipment and
stock may be $4,000, 100000 or more, and
at half their value $4,000, ,00O, 900 could be
loaned. Even the $50 per capita for which
the National Alliance asks would not 60 far.
The increased issue of 81, SOC, ,0O0, 600 might
answer for about sixth of the farms. But
with what decency can the government pro-
vide for small fraction and leave the rest
to suffer! Or by what practical method can
it Confne loans to actual owners Of farms
really cultivated and prevent absorption Of
all the money by real estate speculators and
operators in town lotsH No prevention Is
possible. In order TO have enough money
to go around with the farmers, there would
have to be issued two or three times as much
as they would want. Meanwhile, long be-
fore the $50 per capita should be issued, the
paper would have dropped in value so that
no farmer would wish to take it for his
wheat, and yet he could get no other money,
for gold and certificates and notes redeem
able in gold would be locked up and boarded.
American Banker.
The foregoing is bosh-pure and un-
adulterated bosh and l am convinced
from a steady perusal of the american
Banker, that the man who wrote 1t knew
it was bosh.
First-There Is nothing contained in
the demands of the Alliance that even
hints at equipment and stock" being
made the basis for an issue Of circulat-
ing notes.
Second-There is, perhaps, in the
hands of the people outside Of the United
States treasury, S1,SOO,OOO,OOO which
would be increased to about $4,000, ,0OO,-
600 by per capita circulation Of $50 per
capita, giving the people banking cspi-
al of $2,OOO,OO0,0OO, with which to 60
into the banking business on their own
account.
Third-The national banks alone, with
combined capital, surplus and undivided
profits amounting to less than $500 O00,-
600, have managed to loan out almost
$2,OO0,OO0,0O0. How did they do It? /
answer, by system known as deposits,
loans and discounts"
Fourth-If the national banks can
loan $2,OOO,O0O,OOO with capital Of $780,
100000, what is to prevent the peoples
banks with the same system Of deposits,
loans and discounts, from loanlng $5O00,-
100000 with a capital Of $4,000, ,0O0,0 900.
And if the people by loaning their own

CAHUI,S DEMAND
Legal Debate Over 1t in the Superior
Court Yesterday

Legal Debate over 1t In the superior
Court Yesterday.
The suit of p. H. Caniu against Con-
troller Colgan, to compel the latter to
draw his warrant on the State treasury
for S5O4 in favor of the plaintiff alleged
to be due for services rendered as receiver
of the California Sugar Refinery in San
Francisco-was heard by Superior Judge
Van Fleet yesterday afternoon.
Cahill was represented by j. c. Camp
bell of San Francisco and Bruner g.
Bruner of this city, while Attorney
General Hart appeared for the Controller.
The Attorney General maintained that
CahllPs claim had been rejected because
1t had not gone through the proper course.
The claim was drawn against the fund
set apart for paying the costs of litigation
wherein the State is party. The
money of this fund was exhausted
when Cahill put in his bill, and, although
the claim was approved by the Board OF
Examiners, it should have been sub
mitted to the board again after the Legis-
lature had replenished the fund. 1t was
only technicality, but the Attorney
General argued that the Controller had a
right to demand that the law be complied
with to the letter.
CahilTs attorneys argued that one ap-
proval of demand by the Board of Ex-
aminers was sufficient guarantee for the
Controller to act upon. When the fund
was exhausted the law provided that the
board, after approving the demands,
should notify u Legislature of the total
amount necessity to pay them. After
that all was plain-sailing for the Con-
troller. There was no necessity for the
demands going back for second ap-
proval by the Examiners.

The "Gateway County' Calling On All
Its Friends.
The people of Placer County are max
ing strenuous efforts to send out an ex-
hibit train that will be worthy of the great
foothill fruit-growing section. Some of
their appeals must reach the hearts of
old-time residents of the county who
have moved to other parts. Here is a
sample:
Have you present interest in Placer
County? Have you an interest in old
Placer that is one of sentiment born of
past associations? Is Placer doing any
thing for you? Do you acknowledge to
yourself that in any way, shape or man
ner you owe the grand old county a
debt? Have her hillsides, her plains.
her river-beds or rocky ledges given you
start in the world or furnished the
possibility of making or helping to make
you what you are?
.'If you can answer NO to all this cate
chising the following words have no an
plication TO you. If honestly and con
scientiously you know that an affirmative
answer applies in your case to anyone of
the above questions, then these words
from the Gateway County are for you.
Consider them cautiously, weigh them
justly, answer them in true California
style-generously.
Placer is undergoing a regeneration.
She needs help to hasten her reawaken-
ing. Many of her ditch-scarred hiIlsides
are covered and her worked-out rayines
bordered with the yerdant foliage of the
orange and the peach but many thou
sand hill and valley acre still awaits the
magic touch of labor, the magnetic inflp-
ence of capital. The surface deposits of
gold that gave her the name She bears
are undoubtedly well nigh exhausted
but hidden channels and walled-in ledpes
of quartz await only the enerpizfng
effects of men and money to give u5
treasures untold.
If you have any affection for 'Old
Placer; if you have spark of pride i'm
her; If 1t would please you to know that
she is making the best of the wondrous
natural resources given her by a bouuti-
ful nature, and that she is taking her
place at the head of the progressive.

to-day, help to bring the necessary infiu-
ences of Drawn and capital to her doors

VALENTINE RApp,
Mems Underwear in England.

An amount of luxury is now put into
summer hannels which not so long ago
would have been deemed fabulous. The
greatest advances have been made in
the intermiXture of silk with the wool,
either in toto OF used for the colored
stripping upon the white WOODEN ground.
The beauty of these goods has permitted
the nightshift to regain much of the
ground taken from it by the extraordi-
nary popularity which pajama suits have
enjoyed of late years.
Swell dressers, or rather undressers,
have quite abandoned the linen night
shirt in favor of either silk or flannel,
at the present moment, giving the pref
erence to such as l have named above.
In underwear there is not much change
except in that patterns and fabrics are
very quiet. Little silk is being shown,
because there are so few Americans here
to buy it, Englishmen going in much
more for light gray natural wools."
The English system of making draw
ers is somewhat more elaborate than
ours, inasmuch as they go in for a sort
of add minal supporting waistband or
"belt,' as it is called, buttoning with as
many as eight buttons in front, and
lacing through eyelet holes behind. The
idea of a tight abdominal bandage
comes, like pajamas, sashes and twenty
other speciait;es, from England's hot
exotic possessions. Returning %colonists
bring a good idea home with them and
it speedily becomes the rage for hot
weather we'a-London Cor, Clothier

Forty Years a Reclusc.

F. +. Lobb, brother of D. S. Lardner,
residing at Piseco lake, in the Adiron-
dacks, is expected to live but a short
time. He has been a hunter and trap
per for over forty years and now has
consumption, although he did not go
there for health and was not aware of
any predisposition to pulmonary trou-
bles.
Mr.. Lobb was ambitious as a musi-
clan, but lost his hearing, spelling his
musical future, and in his disappoint-
ment he went forty miles into the woods,
built him a cabin by Piseco lake and
took up the life of a hunter and trapper.
He was there twenty-five years before
Mr.. Lardner knew where he was. Since
that time Mr.. Lardner has visited him,
and he was here several years ago and
spent several months, and was hero
again more recently. His recluse life
was remunerative and his furs were sold
at the settlements.
During the progress of affairs at the
lake, which has now become a popular
resort, Mr.. Lobb built him comfortable
home, and when o. B. Ives was at the
lake he formed a very pleasant acquaint-
auce with him.-New Britain Comm

STRENGTHENING Cast Iron.

Some Of the most prominent iron
founders are introducing a new and sim
pie practice in order to secure stronger
castings, the method in question consist
ing in placing thin sheets of wrought
iron in the center of the mold previous
to the operation of casting. This method
was first resorted to, it appears, in tho
casting Of thin plates for the ovens of
cooking stoves, it being found that a
sheet of thin iron in the center of a quar-
ter inch wen plate rendered it practi-
cally u%nbreakable by fire.
This result has led to the process be-
ing now applied to the casting of large
iron pipes, a core of sheet iron inparting
additional strength and lessening the
liability to any fracture. AS an evil
dence of the additional strength capable
of being impaired by this means, it is
stated that a plate of iron o~ne-fourth of
an inch thick, cast with a perforated
sheet of 27-wire gauge wrought iron in
the center, possessed six times the
strength Of a similar cast plate with nc
core. The quarter inch plate had tho
strength of a plate one inch thick.-New
York Sun.
