He is a Republican, and Halls From
Santa Rosa.
His Speech Last Night On the silver
Observation-Disclosures by w.
A. Anderson.


Hon. D. e. Mckinley of Santa Rosa
spoke at Pylhian Castle last evening, on
the silver question, and from a Repub-
lIcan standpoint
The meeting was called to order by
J. Q. Coleman, who introduced w. y.
Anderson as Chairman. John Car!aw,
NJ. J. Dillman, l.. l.. Lewis. George Muir
ray, William NJ. Sims and Thomas
Hague were appointed Vice Chairmen.
Mr.. Anderson, in his preliminary re-
marks, said:
There is one thing the country can
congratulate itself upon, that is. the fact
that whenever and wherever public opin-
ion has found expression, the seal of
condemnation has been set upon the
work Of the Democratic party during its
control of national affairs. ne leading
Democrats have not the hardihoou to act
rs apologisJs for the past eighteen months
work OF destruction and retrOgressiOu.
The tidings from Vermont, Maine, ohio,
New Jersey, New ork, and every place
where elections nave been held within
The last year, show that The people repu-
diate Democratic misrule.
'lt is an historical fact that everything
has been Dlighteu but Republican prin-
ciples. The dropping OF wages has
ruined our market and industries. The
people were daZzled by glittering prom
lses and led astray by AOphlstry and hy-
pocrisy. While Democracy was foisted
into power on a silver platform. its first
act was to deal a death blow 10 the peu-
ple's money. While protesting against
greattrusls and com mbines, The only trust
il has smashed has been The trust reposed
in that party. our Democratic friends
are good fellows, good citizens individu-
ally, but collectively as u party they have
managed to play the devil with the Gov
ernment, and bring disaster and distress
upon the people. The Democrats who
follow the old banner OF Democracy this
year must love the party for the blunders
and the mistakes ii has made. Their
consciences must have been lost by evap-
Grafton.
"There are three great questions now
before the people-problelnS that must
be solved in the light OF reason, not upon
theory. These are protective tariff.
money, and the solution of the labor
problem. 1t is now demonstrated that
they can be settled only upon the Re-
publican idea and principles OF govern
ment. Republicans mover have to defend
their position on these great questions.
Time always demonstrates the correct
ness of their principles.
wv hen the Democrats came into power
the silver dollar was worth a dollar.
Within six months thereafter the value
OF silver deprecated 30 per cent. Instead
of the American idea prevailing, it seems
that the English idea on money and trade
must be accepted as the true Democratic
principle of government. This is also
demonstrated by Congressman Wilson,
the author Of the famous revenue law

SILVER TALK.
Chairman Anderson then introduced
Mr.. Mckinley. He said two OF the
planks in the Republican platform stand
out igniticautly-those OF protection to
American Industries and free coinage of
silver on par with gold. Up to 1873.
said the speaker, England was the only
country whose monetary system was on
the basis OF gold. BY 1875 every country
in Europe was doing away with silver.
The demonstration OF silver in 1873 was
unintentional, and although the Congress
was RepuDIlcan at that time, not one
Democratic member of Congress voted
against the bill to reduce the price of sill
yer.
i. lie maintained that it was the demone-
tiZatlon that brought the low prices of
silver. He then demonstrated that some
of the evils of characterization of silver
were, first, the restriction OF the volume
OF currency One-half and the consequent
appreciation of gold. He showed that the
relative value OF silver, as compared with
staple and commodity, remained to-
,i..l i
ing power. Second, the hardships fall
ing on the debtor classes, by reason of
the limitation of the money volume. The
remedy for the method by which silver
could be restored is by maintaining the
doctrine OF protection of the Industries of
the United States and keeping the bal
ance OF trade on this side of the Atlantic,
and by increasing our trade with the
consuming nations of the world.
If the United States goes upon a free
silver basis, and manufactures goods
upon that basis, she VIII De prepared to
furnish dollars worth of goods tor the
silver dollar, or its equivalent, with these
consuming nations. How long then, will
they continue to purchase goods from
Europe. paying their silver dollar or it's
equivalent for torty or fifty cents worth
OF goods.
In conclusion, Mr.. Mckinley appealed
to all classes of people TO vote for their
own interests, and If they find that pro-
lection and free silver were good doctrines
to maintain, TO vote for them, even if
contained in a Republican platform.
de also appealed TO his hearers to vote
for Estee, because he stood upon such a
platform, and also for Grove l.. Johnson
for Congress, because he would be part of
Republican House of Representatives
who would vote for free silver. Repub-
lican AssembIymen should also be
elected, because they would vote for
United States Senator who would further
the interests of free silver.
Prolonged applause and cheering
greeted MIR. Mckinley when he con-
cluded his address, and he was congratu-
lated on the excellent manner in which
he explained the complicated proposition
OF Tree silver which will be advocated by
Repu blican Congress.
