THE CONGRESSIONAL CANDID
ATE

Mr.. Charles A. Barlow, the fusion can
didate of the Democrats and Populists
for congressman of the Sixth district,
will address both the Democratic and
Populist conventions today. Mr. Bar
lows utterances will be lis
tened to and read with in
tense interest. In an interview to be
found elsewhere in this issue, Mr.. Bar
low clearly and satisfactorily defines
his position on the most momentous is
sues of the campaign. He is as staunch
a supporter of William Jennings Bryan,
with all that this implies, as could be
well desired. He is devoted champion
of the free coinage of silver; unalterably
opposed to the iniquitous funding bill,
and is a jealous advocate for free har-
bor at San Pedro. Furthermore, Mr..
Barlow states that on any matters of
local import with which he is not con-
versant, he will turn for advice to Sem
ator Stephen M. White, than whom no
wiser guide and counsellor could be
found. Such a statement happily and
effectually confounds all the rumors
which Republican organs have been at
pains to propagate, that Senator White
and Mr.. Barlow could not and would not
run in harness.
With Stephen M. White in the senate
and Charles A. Barlow in the house of
representatives,, the interests of this
district will be we'll cared for at Wash
ington.
Mr.. Barlow is not SO much the repre-
sentative of any particular party in the
hn 1,o MN
a cause for which all the political par
ties of California have within the past
few months declared. Democrats, Pop
ulists and Republicans will all rally to
his support. The firm phalanx of free
silver Republicans who stand true to
their standard is daily gaining strength
and will actively assist in rolling up
for Mr.. Barlow an overwhelming ma
jority. Against him is foeman un-
worthy of his steel, creature of politi-
cal opportunity, a straw before the wind
of expediency Mr. McLachlan's pres
ent position, complete inversion of
that on which he sought and fraudulent
ly obtained the suffrages of the people
two years ago, is so untenable as to be
ridiculous and unworthy of any consid-
Grafton except in the light of an aero
batic performance. While we may be-
lieve Mr.. Barlow has an easy task in
disposing of such an opponent, 1T is of
supreme importance that cooperation
should be thorough and loyal, and that
organization should be complete. The
weakness of the opposition candidate
will be in large measure covered by
the strength of the party machine, and
its power must not be underestimate.
Democrats, Populists and Free Silver
Republicans will remember that in un-
ion lies strength and success. No op-
portunity must be missed to consolidate
the forces and leavssno weak spot in the
ranks, that the victory which we con-
fidently anticipate may be assured.

silver are cut off."-(Zeph. i:11.) We

Astounding Figures

Editor Herald Bonds of the United
States to the amount of s., ,O49, ,975, 700
were sold between 1862 and 1868, but as
the average amount received for these
bonds was only 81 per cent of their face
value the government realized only ST.
971,424,29S on the entire issue. There
have been paid back to the holders of
these bonds up to October, 1893, in prin-
cipal,the sum of 81, 756, 600, OO-being 1886, :
100000 more than the government actu-
ally received for the bonds
Besides, s25Ss. 900, 900 have been
paid as interest and SIS, S,O0O,-
600 as premium on bonds bought
in. Therefore, for the $1,371, ,424, ,23S OBJ
tanned from the bonds, the United States
in 1898 had already paid the enormous
sum of $4,352, 100000. and strange as it
may seem, it would now take more
bushels of wheat and more bales of cot
ton. at present prices, to pay what re-
mains of that debt than it would have
taken to pay the said sum of $1,371 424, :
23S at the range of prices of those COM
modities which prevailed at the time
the debt was contracted.
These bonds were originally payable
in lawful money, which, of course, in
cluded greenbacks, but at the instance
of their holders statutes were enacted
making them payable in coin, which the
obliging treasury officials have always
interpreted to mean gold coin, a money
metal which has been and is increasing
in purchasing power at the rate of 21s
per cent year.
Should not these greedy bondholders
instead of insisting on further favors
from the government, be satisfied with
those already received?

Editor Herald: In these days Of war.
ring elements" in political life, it Is re-
freshing to read and ponder the whole
some truths put forth in the address
by William z. st. John, M. A., on ac-
cepting the permanent chairmanship of
the National Bimetallic party at st.
Louis. July 20, 1896. 1t is reproduced,
with approval, in that stalwart friend
of labor, the Arena, for September.
Mr. ST. John set out in that grand ef-
fort with a sublime truth which is al
ready concreted into an axiom, for the
utterance Of which he is libeled by gold
monometallists as an anarchist. Says
MIR. ST. John: "It is among the first
principles in finance that the value of
each dollar, expressed in prices, depends
upon the total number of dollars in Cir
culation."
The forceful truth of Mr.. st. Johns
statement may, perhaps, be made more
readily comprehensive by an illuStra-
ton:
Suppose that A. has on hand and for
market large amount of farm products,
for which he is anxious to receive in
exchange as many dollars as he can oh
tain He goes upon change, offers his
wheat, corn, pork, beef, etc, but finds
few bidders, because dollars are scare.
although nearly everybody needs his
products Or, on the other hand, he,
the farmer, has but few products to sell,
and those wishing to buy have plenty of
money and must have groceries, provis-
ions, etc. for daily family use. Under
these conditions prices will rule high,
and the seller, as the saying runs, will
command very high prices, almost
whatever he asks, "in many instances.
This is proposition which the seller
of any product of farm, vineyard, or
chard or mandatory, or a days labor
even should study thoroughly and un-
derstand. for if he do so he will vote for
Bryan and free silver and continued
freedom, and not for Mckinley, mono
metallism (until Johnny Bull lets up on
us), and ultimate enslavement of all the
laboring classes in our country. If our
population which earns what 1t eats
Will master but this one principle in
finance, it will readily understand why
gold monometallistS are so bitterly
against free coinage of both gold ana
silver, and in favor of reducing to a
minimum the money, per capita, of the
country; or why they oppose bimes-
allism until agreed TO by the leading
powers of Europe, which they know will
never be. T. II. WELLS.
