THE FCRLORN HOPE

AS was announced by The Herald
some weeks ago. curiously but properly
enough anticipating the Republican or
gans in the publication of Republican
intelligence. the leaders of the single
standard camp in Southern California
are to make determined effort to dem
onstrate the unpopularity of their cause
in this city on Saturday next.
There was sorrow and chagrin in the
camp when the so-called Mckinley rati-
fication rally In this city degenerated
into a fifth-rate parade and an insignih-
cant assemblage. This sorrow changed
into extreme modification and disgust
when the strength and sincerity in the
enthusiasm Of the Bryan ratification
was indisputably demonstrated a month
ago. For few days the leaders sulked
in their tents, disguised and desperate.
Not only overwhelmed by the force Of
the Democratic movement, they were
and still are torn by internal disssen-
sion. But there is an astute lieutenant,
who may soon be major, and leave the
colonel cashiered; he realized that
grand coup was necessary, not merely to
sustain his own chances but to make a
show for the amount of money that it
was confidently expected was to be
drawn hither from Hanna's barrel.
He was well aware that it was super
human task to excite any natural eXhi-
bition of enthusiasm for Mckinley and
the grip of gold in this vicinity. So he
communicated with his master in San
Francisco, and behold the result! Any
amount of money is to be expended to
make a decent if artificial show for the
money already and about to be spent.

forms its readers that special train

An AnsNer to Jones

Editor Herald: I find in this morn
ing's Times a long list of questions pro-
pounded by one o. II. Jones. While these
questions are but a rehash of the mat
ter published daily by the monopolist-
ic press, and have been answered con-
clusively. time and again. yet was i'm
pressed while reading them with the
idea that Mr.. Jones should have an an
swer. There Is no use to talk reason to
a man who will repeat the stale "O'Bry-
an" and Silver syndicate salary" SLAM
ders, that none but few anarchists ever
believed in the first place. l therefore
give him the answer he desires by quot
ing the following plank from the Re
publican state platform adopted at Sac
ramento May 9Th. 1896.
1--WE favor the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to and
the making of silver as we'll as gold
legal tender in payment OF all oepts
both public and private"
The following is the resolution adopted
by the congressional convention OF tho
Sixth district at Sacramento:
Resolved, That we recognize the VI
tai necessity of fair recognition OF
silver in the money of the country. and
we are therefore in favor Of the free
and unlimited coinage OF silver at ra-
ito of 16 to l"
am perfectly aware Of the futility OF
calling Mr.. Jones' attention to any
thing but the kind Of drivel he Is filling
himself upon now. He is one of the kind
of men, no doubt, who accept anything
marked with the party brand. There is
no one on earth that can honestly say
that the two resolutions quoted above
do not really represent the convictions
of the California Republicans. 1t Is per-
fectly fair, therefore. to conclude that.
since the party trademark has been
changed by Mark Hanna's convention,
the men who are foaming at the mouth
and calling those who are true to their
convictions abusive names, do so at the
behest Of blind partisanship and not
from motives of patriotism. So 1t has
ever been that freedoms battles are
fought by men who are vilifed by a
truculent and cowardly class of slaves
to a name. Very truly,

every means conceivable, for the local
ranks, to Judge by past experience con-

indeed.
All the eloquence boasted by the Re-
publicans of the north is to be brought
down. Some very big guns are to be
fired, but their charges will be found to
consist of more powder than shot.
Neither the rhetoric "of the most elo-
quent orator on this coast, and rival of
Chauncey Depew" nor the lavish ex-
penditure of money will disturb the
deep-rooted conviction in the minds of
the people that the demonetization of
silver in '73 was in truth a stealthy
crime and that its restoration will give
them not only a chance to live but ma
tional prosperity. The array of oratori-
cal talent is certainly formidable: the
display of tempting shekels may be yet
more insidious, but by the gauze and tin
sci of subsidized eloquence and the jing-
ling of purses fattened by plutocrats the
intelligent voter will not be deceived.
This elaborate and expensive opening
Of the campaign on the part of the Re-
publicans is imperative. What has
been their stronghold promises to be
their burial ground. They mean to make
a final effort to build bulwark. which
is only fated to be their tombstone. The
main reason given by the evening or
gan-for the mourning Mckinley trum-
pet is not to be blown by the real lead
ers of the camp-is that "the only thing
Republicans have to fear is apathy. The
enemy is very alert and active, and Re-
publicans must show equal zeal" The
apathy, which is so palpable, IL easily
accounted for, and these leaders OF a
forlorn hope are to be congratulated for
their bravery. IL they will thereafter
have to commiserate themselves for
the expense of time and eloquence and
money.
The local efforts have already been as
frantic as Intellectual. Every available
public hall was coralled by Republican
shekels to boycott the free silver men.
1t is understood that for the futile priv
ilege of renting rooms they are al
ready paying out $4,000 month. but If
they cannot fill them. cui bono? They
may have the money; we have the
men. They may boast their bribes; we
will have the votes

Alexander Hamilton on BlmetslIlsm

Editor Herald: Hon. Alexander Ham
ilton, the first secretary of the United
States treasury department, and the
greatest financier of his day, in his re-
port to the mint in 1871, said:
ITO annul the use of either Of the met
ais as money is to abridge the quantity
of circulating medium and is liable to
all the objections which arise from a
comparison of the benefits of full with
the evils of a scanty circulation"
But why do I quote the above? Wash
ington, Franklin and all the "old guard"
who framed the constitution, and thus
secured the legitimate fruits of the
revolution, were old fogies; and they,

What Does It rlean ?

Editor Herald: Every time Major Nc
Kinley opens his mouth he has some-
thing to say about the public honor"
He uses such phrases as "the country's
honor" American honor" financial
honor" and so on. This seems to be
sort of parrot talk, but as the gallant
major is a candidate for a high office,
it must be presumed that he means
something by it. 1t sounds as II he
feared the honor of this great nation
was In some sort of peril. but he does not
say, nor even hint, in what manner 1t
is in danger. We do not wish to reflect
upon the majors notion of honor. which
has doubtless been frightened up by
his business association with Hanna,
Kohlsaat and Herrick, the gentlemen
who SO generously and disinterestedly
advanced him $11S,000 in 1893 to satisfy
the demands of his creditors, but Is 1t
not in fact rather mean business for any
didate for office or not. to ques-
ton it's honor when that honor
has never been violated, and when no
one proposes in any manner to violate
it? The majors solicitude seems to
point towards the financial honor" of
the country, but no political party nor
citizen proposes or even suggests the
payment of our government obligations
otherwise than In strict accordance with
the contract: and surely national honor
cannot require anything beyond that.
IL the major means to say that the coun-
try's honor can best be preserved by
making him the president, 1t Is in ex-
tremely doubtful taste for him to say
so. WILLOUGHBY COLE.

Here are two letters addressed by two
correspondents to an exchange, which
serve to show the lines along which some
people are considering the money ques-
ton:
III the capitalists OF all the world
rush here with their silver and coin it
into American silver dollars, what are
they going to do with these dollars!
They will, Of course, invest them in
American enterprises. build ships. build
railroads and start factories, increasing
the demand for labor.
THAT is why working men and busi-
ness men will vote for free silver.
II observe that q great many farmers
living in this city, Philadelphia. Boston.
Brooklyn and other cities know so much
about the effect free coinage of silver
would have upon the interests OF farmers
living in the country west and south,
and also it's effect on labor generally,
that. being city farmer. I send my
opinion on all these subjects. q
First-Whatever the plutocrat, capt.
talist, or whatever you may choose to
call him. ardently wishes must be in the
interest of labor Qor he cares nothing
for himself). Hence free coinage must
be wrong.
Second-As free coinage would reduce
the wages of labor and the millionaire
always prides himself on paying high
salaries, 1T would be folly to expect him
to buy laborer for so cents day when
he might pay him 81 day. and you
know they are doing such things right
along.
Third-It is true that he can buy So
worth Of silver for one of his gold dol
lars, because the law says he may, which
he sends to Egypt or elsewhere and buys
wheat. etc. for the European market
for which he charges gold price Hav-

to believe in free silver that they

ate their personal convictions and be-
liefs as we'll as the actions and platform
of the state convention In less than three
months. Also all the campaign litera-
