T. V. GATOR, ECONOMIST.

The Popocrats of California should get
together and agree upon a confession of
faith. They are not agreed as 10 how free
| coinage independent of other nations
would shower blessings upon the people
OF this country. Take the opinion of
L. V. Gator, for instance. He said in his
Metropolitan Hall speech the other night
if foreigners tried to dump their silver
into this country ''they would have to
take 1t to the mint and have it coined
into American dollars-dollars of no use
abroad and which they would have to
spend in this country" That is it exactly.
Mr.. Gator is commercially honest and
frank. That is just what foreign owners
of silver would do with it, but does not
Mr. Gator himself warn our people to pre-
vent foreigners doing that very thing +?
Not directly, TO be sure, but that is the
logic of his reasoning.
Mr.. Gator admits that such silver dol.
lars would be of no use abroad, and that
they would have to be spent in this coun-
try. The meaning of Mr. Gators phiIoso-
ply is that foreign silver coming to this
country for coinage would have to be
spent in this country when converted into
dollars, because such dollars would have
value of only half their stamped value
in other countries. Therefore, when such
dollars were invested in American wheat
at say 81 bushel. would not the wheat
stand at a cost of 80 cents bushel when
it reached Liverpool2
Mr.. Gator says silver dollars coined in
America independent of the monetary
systems of other countries would be of no
use in other countries as dollars, but, of
course. they would have bullion value, and
Mr.. Gator is exactly right, but why should
this country oblige our people to accept a
thing for 100 cents for their produce when
the purchaser of the produce pays only so
cents for the thing? Mr.. Gator also ad-
mits by inference at least, that after we
have accepted these dollars as being the
| equivalent of 100 cents we would have to
pay them out as the equivalent OF only so
cents in transactions with foreign peoples.
Would that be good thing for us?
But Mr.. Gator says such an angement
would increase the circulation of such dol
lays in this country, which is undoubtedly
true, but according to his own show
ing not one of them would be
accepted for more that 80 cents in the
payment for coffee and other articles OF
consumption which we have to go abroad
for Under such financial system would
| We not have to pay twice the foreign mar

W0RKINGMEN INSULTED.

1t is unfortunate for the good name of
the people of the United States that a
great political party should have selected
man as its candidate for the Presidency
whose sense OF honor is so pliable as is
Mr.. Bryan's. The man does not hesitate
to advise the employment of the most
disreputable methods, nor is he at all
backward in commencing his nefarIous
schemes to others. In addressing crowd
the other day he noticed that quite large
number of workingmen were wearing
the Mckinley button. He Immediately
jumped TO the conclusion that as a matter
of course they had been coerced into wear
ing it by their employers, and in order to
show his deep interest in their welfare he
volunteered bit of advice which ought to
insure him the contempt of every honest
workingman in the country.
In the most confidential manner he told
the wearers of the Mckinley button that
they should not do anything to endanger
their jobs; that they should keep right on
parading the Mckinley button; that they
should contribute their campaign fund to
the Mckinley collectors, and to deport
themselves as jealous supporters of the
Republican candidate, but on election day
they should secretly use a pencil and
scratch the Mckinley electors. He told
them that it was all right to be Republi-
cans and shout for Mckinley every day of
the campaign, but on election day they
should quietly slip Bryan ticket into the
ballot-box.
Aside from Mr.. Bryan's purpose what
do working people generally think of
a man who holds their class to be persons
wholly devoid of honesty? He seems to
think it nothing for wage-earner to live
shameless faIsehood. He does not re-
gard workingmen as persons who would
be loyal to the principles of any outward
or public declaration if it suited their pur-
pose better to play the hypoerite. Play
the hypocrite openly 36i days in the year,
but on the 365th day secretly sneak in a
vote that contradicts everything that had
been said during the year. That is the
code of ethics Mr.. Bryan thinks is the kind
for workingmen to adopt for their rule of
conduct.
The following is the full text Of what
Mr.. Bryan said to the wage-earners who
wore Mckinley buttons on the occasion
referred to: "I will not ask him TO do any
thing that will endanger that position (of
employment). Let him wear the opposi-
ton button IL he will. Let him enroll his
name on their club list. Let him con-
tribute to their campaign fund if he will
ii, but let him remember there is one day
in the year when he is his own master and
can use pencil as he pleases. / am will
ing for you to be Republicans. L am will
ing for you to be Republicans every other
day in the year if you will just be Demo-
Gratis on election day."
The San Francisco call., 1896-09-29
THE REASON WHY.

The reason why the candidacy of Mr..
Bryan is losing in public favor is because
the more he analyses his theories the
more satisfied the people are that there
would be risk to the interests of the coun-
try in giving practical application to
them The people want better and
stronger conditions than they have had
the last three years, and Mr.. BRYAN has
thus far failed to show wherein his policy
would strengthen the channels of busi-
ness.
If the people could be convinced that
free and unlimited coinage of silver, inde-
pendent of other commercial nations.
would advance ana maintain the bullion
price of the white metal to its coinage
value, no doubt the vote for 1t would in
clude all business interests; but neither
Mr.. Bryan nor one of his supporters has
presented a single reason why such would
obtain. The logic of the law of commodity
interchange and the experience of COM
merce are that no such results would fol-
low; and as no free-silver advocate has
suggested reasonable plan for the Ma
ton to enter upon double standard of

REGULAR REPUBLICAN TICKET.

Registrar Hinton yesterday officially
recognized the ticket put forth by the Au-
ditorium convention as the Regular Re-
publican ticket, and entitled as such TO a
place upon the official ballot.
This act of an honest and impartial off,
Ger, takensafter full deliberation, and done
in accordance with the duty imposed
upon him by the Australian ballot law,
should set at rest now and hereafter the
question as TO which is the Regular Re-
publican. party of the City of San Fran
cisco, and should bring every loyal Re-
publican to the support of its official
ticket.
The action of Registrar Hinton should
also put an end to the factional conten-
tions of the local campaign. There is
only a month remaining before election
day, and not another hour of it ought to
be spent in wrangling. The time for
effective and united effort for party sue
cess is all too brief for further dissensions.
Not only should no new elements of dis
cord be introduced but every old difficulty
should be at once eliminated and the
common banner of Republicanism be
lifted by all who honestly desire Re-
publican local and National victory.

FOURTEEN DEsPAIRING BRIDES.

Westminster Gazette, Sept. 10.
At Hounslow yesterday there was a remark
able scene when the Fourth Hussars left by
the 9:45 train for Southampton en- route for
India. A detachment of 400 men, in full
marching order and under the command of
Colonel Ramsey, proceeded from Hounslow
Barracks to the railway station, where
they were awaited by an immense
crowd, chiefly females. Among the latter
were fourteen brides of only a. weeks ex-
perience OF married life. and these were in a
most distressed condition, the poor women
crowding together and clinging with the
tondest affection to their husbands. The
soldiers quickly entrained, and after the last
good bys had been spoken the train steamed
out OF the station, leaving the discon nsolate
brides weeping Historically in a heap on the
platform. The fourteen privates were mar
rled during the previous week without the
consent OF the colonel, and their wives were
therefore not entitled to accompany them

CHAIRMAN M'LAUGHLIN.

In all the controversy over the selection
of the Republican ticket in this County il
is worth noting that no complaint has
been made on either side of the manage
ment of the campaign by Major McLaugh-
lin.
He has shown an earnest desire to pro-
mote harmony in the ranks of the party,
and has been wisely impartial. The ad-
vice given by him last week, that both
county conventions should postpone NOM
nations until yesterday, was undoubtedly
intended in the interest of the general well
fare, and if the regular convention, pre-
sided over by the Hon. Thomas D. Riordan,
did not follow the counsel it was from no
lack of appreciation of the motives which
prompted it.
The advice o: ior Mclaughlin was
not strictly followed because after full
consideration it was seen nothing could be
gained by delay. Had the Auditorium
convention postponed its nominations
the result would not have been
different from what has taken
place. That convention represented
the organized Republicans of San Fran
cisco. 1t could do nothing else than
maintain faithfully the rules Of the party.
1t named full ticket at once, as in duty
bound, but renders to-day full and loyal
support to Major Mclaughlin in his work
of carrying on the State campaign.

money Independent of those with whom
we have financial operations, the people
are concluding that it would not be wise
to apply Mr.. Bryan's crude and uncertain
theories. "Let us try the experiment" !"
is what Mr.. Bryan says, and because he
will not say why be should be permitted
to experiment with the business concerns
of the Nation the people are turning away
from him.
If Mr.. Bryan could convince the people
that no business disturbance would follow
his election the people would at least
listen to him with patience, but he says
himself that business panic would come
as the result of introducing his theories
in the conduct of the Government, and
although he says good times would come
after awhile there is an element OF chance
in his purpose which the people do not
care to court.
Mr.. Bryan has failed to satisfy the peo-
pie that a nearer approach to free trade
would cause the industries of the country
to open to labor employment. They
know that the uegree of free trade which
the Wilson German acts affords has seri-
ously injured all the fields of labor, and
Mr.. Bryan does not explain how a still
greater degree is going to protect this
country against hurtful foreign COMPETE
tion. In short, Mr.. Bryan has failed to
give single reason why the people
should depart from the ways which have
made the Nation rich and powerful and
adopt his untried and at best uncertain
policy, and naturally, therefore. the peo-
pie would turn away from him. Mr..
Bryan has failed to give a single reason
why any one should vote for him.
