come with good grace from the Demo-
clats, whose record in State management
does not warrant belief in them. Every
Republican Administration III Califor-
MIA that has followed a Democratic Ad-
ninistration has reduced the tax levy of
| its predecessor. In every campaign
| promises of economy were made as now.
In every instance the Republicans re-
deemed their pledges and the democrats
| did not.
THEY AVOID IT.
Riverside Press.
The New York San expresses the opin-
ion that the present Is To be year OF
straight fighting between the two great
parties, but that is just what California
Democrats seem to want 10 avoid. Any
issue but national one is what they
prefer.
REPUBLICAN YEAR.
Jacksonville Pajaronian.l
This is Republican year; the people
have had enough of the Democratic
change that has legislated against the
prices of all soil products of this country
and III favor OF increased values OF neces-
sary articles manufactured by wealthy
trusts. We have a home Illustration.
| The sugar bounty is gone and the price OF
beets has dropped ntty cents this year
| with prospect of another drop for next
| year, and the price OF manufactured sugar
has advanced at least % per cent. When
a man gets less for his beets and pays
more for his sugar-and because of the
legislation OF a Democratic COngreSS-he
| is not i'll very good trim TO help the hand
that SmiteS him.
Arguments similar to the above are be-
ing made in the wool districts, the luln-
| Der regions. the fruit counties, the stock
| raising sections, and, in short, i'll almost
every locality in the Union. They are
arguments that never fail TO convince the
people, and as consequence this Will be
not only Republican year but a Repub-
Iican country for many years to come.
\ STABLE CURRENCY.
Fresno EXpositor.
While the Populist orators were having
it all their own way talking about big
sums of money and the amount "per
capita" necessary to make everybody
happy, great many people thought they
were receiving valuable instruction III
| finance, and that everybody who had
| ever written and spoken on finance be-
fore was an enemy OF the poor and bent
on their perpetual enslavement, but when
! the records of the present Congress are
examined, and it is shown that the dozen
! Popuists i'll that bouy introduced bills
| calling for the issuance and expenditure
of more than $4,000 100000 10y the Gov
ernment, great many OF the per capita"
! tinancies came to halt and began 10 IN
| Qulre: Nv here are we at?"
COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.
Los Angeles Times.
"On whatever side we look at it." said
Carroll u. Wright, Commissioner of
Labor in a speech at Chicago Tuesday
night, compulsory arbitration means
| the death OF industry, and the enslave-
ment of labor. 1t would be going back
| to worse barDarism than we have ever
had on this continent" Practical think
ing men arrived long ago at the same
conclusion.
HAS THE BEST OF IT.
[Marysvile Appeal.l
The people of Marysville have heard in
succession Cornell, Johnson and Cami-
netti. Johnson by his eloquence and
! known ability has captured the inde-
| pendent voters. Cornell has the disat-
! fected element with him and the hard
shells will vote on party lines for party
nominees. On this showing Mr.. john
son has much the best of il.
IMMIGRATION.
[Plumas National Bulletin
Why has not this Government pro-
| tected it's labor from the competition re-
sulting from the importation of foreign
| labor? Simply because the sentiment of
the people and the policy of the Govern
| ment ever since its foundation, until re-
! Gently, have been i'll favor of such immi-
grafton TO settle up, develop tho resources
aud make OF this great, prosperous and
powerful country.
THE TAN LEVY.
PLACER County Republican,
In the last State campaign, when Gov
ernor Markham was elected, the Repub-
lican party pledged the people that it
would keep the State tax levy down to 80
cents. The average levy tor the four
years has been 4S.7 cents, and the pledge
has been kept. This is the lowest aver
age rate under any Administration for
tue past tweuty-tour years.
RAILROAD COMMISSIONER
[Burney Valley Bulletin.l
We notice that all our exchanges sneak
| in the highest terms of William Beck
man, the Republican nominee for Rail-
road Commissioner Tor this district, This
office, like the Judiciary, is one that
should be TILED by man best fitted for
the position, regardless OF politics. Such
| q man Is William Beekman and the
honest voters OF this district should recor-
niZe his availability for the very import
ant place and not trust to an irresponsible
person the momentous questions in
| yolved. Being prominent in the business
circles of Sacramento Mr.. Beckman is
| more acquainted than most with our ca
pacities as producers and consumers and
the needs OF our section in transportation
and equalization of rates. He knows
what the business of this section reonires
and will do for us tie best that can be
done.
BEWARE OF THE PoPULISTS
tOroville Register.l
Why? Because they represent the
most dangerous elements in our nation.
The most wild and visionary schemes
ever concocted by statesmen were those
presented in Congress last winter bv
Populist members. Tney are menace
to the stability OF our country Mark
what we assert, they are not like other
parties; not like the cranks or one idea
men, for these do no damage save TO try
to convince others that their single idea
is right. The Populists, Oh the other
hand, are mixture OF all the dangerous
elements of all parties combined Amer
lea has Witnessed no hard times such as
would follow If the Populists were in
power single year. We say to the low
ers OF good government, of prosperity
of honest desire tor better times-don,t l.
place the Populists where they can dam
age the country. The honest men of the
party are being mislead. They have COM
biued with The socialIstic cranks OF for
eign birth and the American anarchists
ii there are any of American birth-and
the result is danger ahead. Danger to
our institutions, danger TO the flag, dam
ger to the welfare and good being of the
whole people. Ii we would maintain
what we have fought for and won in the
