GEO. S. PATRONS ADDRESS.

he Strongly Endorses the Mathews Bill
Now Before the Legislature.
When the chairman called for Hon.
Geo. S. Patton the mention OF that gen.
leman'a name was received with APP
plause, and when he stepped forward he
was given warm reception.
"We are here" he commenced, "to
discuss feasible and practical plan to
break down the power of the railroad
that is destroying all the industries OF
our state. This, however, is a prelimi.
nary meeting and the proposition for
building competitive railroad will
necessarily assume various shapes. The
most practical plan to construct such a
road is embodied in bill now before
the Legislature. generally known ss the
Matthew'S bill"
Mr.. Patton explained the SCOPE and
provisions of the bill, and then contin~
ued: "Ii manhood and grit assert them.

would suggest that q committee be ap-
pointed by this meeting to investigate

days, and solve the railroad question in
this state forever. am absolutely cor
tain that no plan or amendment
to the constitution will ever
be proposed that will not be
fought by the railroad corporation. If
we find that the Mathews bill ia uncon-
stitutonal we will find a way to make
it constitutional. Our railroads have an
over-capitalization and We are face to
face with great corporations. Ii the de-
feat OF the Reilly reiunding bill and the
transfer OF the railroad to the govern
ment is accomplished. and free harbor
is secured at San Pedro, and we obtain
competing railroad, as is contem-
plated. then we will have solved the
railroad question in California forever.
If we fail then we will have to paw for
the interest on watered stock at the rate

Bill.
Gov. l. A. Sheldon took the floor
stating that the two resolutions just
read were of a different character. The
fret endorsed the Mathews bill and
the other suggested plaa OF orgsniza-
tion of different nature. He suggested
that no steps be tsken to construct the
road until the fato OF thu Mathews bill
is decided. He explained the legal OBJ
jections raised to the measure and thGt
these objections we're groundlsas. He
then showed that one Of the Gauses Of
tbs excessive capitalization OF the rail-
roads was due to thu excessive operating
expenses, especially in regard to the
high salaries paid to its officers. The
800 railroad presidents in the United
States derive annually from $1,000, 0UO
to Sll0O00JO in salaries. II the
Mathews bill passes the road will be
built economically and no unnecessary
expeneo9 will be Incurred aud the
supervisors of the different coun ties
will watch that the xponaea are within
the limits OF Necessity. A railroa d
built undor that bill will be run for the
purpose Of paying the operating expeu
sea aud the interest on the bonds, and
the reserve will be uaed for the pay men t
OF the funded indebtedness. Ii that is
accomplished then the road will be
operated simply to meet the expenses.
Such railroad can be operated at from
% to 40 per cent OF its earnings.

books will be had under the state
printing plan, if friend of such sys-
tenn had control. for under the present
compe titive plan bad books are often
selected because their publishers
spend the most money "where it will
do good" Such plan, however, has
the very serious objection Of not pro-
viding for the manufacture of mill
lionaires, and will not likely be adopt
ed by the people of our states, as they
are thoroughly stuck on having and
caring for these beautiful ornaments

During all these years Of agitation
for free textbooks" why did it
never occur to us that there was after
all, no freedom about system that
tied up districts, townships, cities and
even states to some gigantic corpora
tion of milliOnaires like the American
Book company? With proper machin-
cry located at certain of our state in
stitution, school books could no doubt
, be provided for one-fourth of present
trust prices. Furthermore. the peo
pie would then have some voice in de-
termining the character Of the books.
II they did not believe that our ma
tional banking system had proven SO
eminently successful" as MOwry says,
or that, "a paper dollar with no gold
or silver behind it is just as good as
any other old dingy scrap Of paper and
no BETTER" as Montgomery says, they.
the people could then shut all such
pernicious faisity out Of their chill
drenS books. Under the existing
regime normal schools germinate fads
and book companies incubate them;
and when the brood is Matched the
people are required to pay high
price for the monstroSities with which
to demoralize their children. That
explains in large measure the
Punishment of McGuffey, Saunders,
Swinton, Colburn, Robinson, Spencer,
ETC., from their rightful dominion in
the school.
With state manufacture Of text
books. this evil and scores Of others
could be corrected. BY all means let
the state make the books and then
give them outright to its children.
Every child should be taught to cher
ish his school books and preserve
them. both for future study and ref
erence, and as souvenirs Of the pleas
ures and pains, THAT waited on life's
merry morn"

Yes, Bro. Taubeneck, we offered you
space Gin the monthly Sentinel, not
the Weekly SentineD and we are al
ways glad to print anything you may
send us-as we always have done. But
we offered you space for particular
purpose. We said
''In your three columns OF reply 1T is
strange that you do not tell US what
good silver did US during the trying
years from 1860 to 1870. Not a line;
not word. You tell US of the good
things we may have, but it is strange
you cannot take even six lines to tell
us of any ten years between l192 and
1873 (while we were just rolilcklng IN
the simon pure free and unlimited'O
equal to that between 1860 and 1870,
when silver was skulking away with
its brother gold.
If you will give us three columns
more on these points we will gladly
print it. If you have not the time,
perhaps some of your great silver
champions will undertake the job.
But do not dodge the question. For
one hundred years has there been
such magnificent prosperity for the
people as we saw from 1862 to 1873,
when we did not see, hear, taste, touch
or handle gold or silver dollar?"
Instead of giving us light on the
points named you make wild goose
chase all over five continents hunting
for an argument in favor of silver.
You skip from India to Argentine,
thence to China and Japan, back
again to Mexico and finally fetch up
in South America-but not word
about the benefits which free and
unlimited coinage" ever did us in this
country; not a word naming any
period equaling in prosperity that
from 1860 to 1870 when not dollar Of
silver was to be had. We see no occa-
sion for going beyond the limits of the
United States, or even beyond the
memory of men fifty years old, to show
which has given this country the
greater prosperity, gfeenbdcks or metal

both, which is the better?
You say it is mere waste OF
words to discuss it from the stand
point of 1892, 1910 to 1850, or 1860 to
1907 Every silver speech we ever
heard, every silver document we ever
read, starts out with "1792," SO regu-
larly that 1872 has actually become

1892 down to the present time; and

ever heard who called it waste Of

from any point whatever. You. your

In our opinion it is waste Of words"
to discuss the ques tiOn at all. That
is exactly where the ''quarrel began"
We repeat, "the only possible influ-
ence the silver question has is SO far
as it increases or decreases the volume Of
money!
We emphatically deny that it is a
question Of putting our people on
equal footing with those in silver
standard countries 1t is question
of puttt,ag our people on q plane ABOVE
any and every gold or silver standard
country on earth; and if the Omaha
platform and the Populist movement
does not mean that, then we, are
training in the wrong crowd and
marching under the wrong banner.
But how is it that in your opening
paragraph you deplore the possibility
of putting American and European
commerce and Industries at the
mercy of the Mongolian"9 Does not
the Mongolian live in a "silver stand
ard country? And must we adopt
Mongolian methods in order to escape
the. Mongolian? If by adopting the
Mongolian money standard we can es-
cape the Monaghan clutches, then
does it not follow logically that by
adopting the gold-bug's money stand
ard we can escape the clutches of the
gold-bugs? But you see it lands us all
between the devil and the deep sea.
And what we are striving for, and
what we have been striving for for
twenty years, is money standard
that will release us from the clutches
of the Shylock gold-bugs and the Mon
golian silver-bugs, and IRE beliere that
that money standard is q t,tU legal tender

Our letter to you was written in
good faith-and we still adhere to the
hope that you will not only stick to
the Chairmanship but that you will
stick to the Omaha platform, and
that you will not permit yourself to
