VOICE OF THE PRESS.
Expressions Of Coast Newspapers In
Brief,
On All Shades of Political Belief and
Upon Leading Topics Of
the Day.

San Diego Union: The Bryan forces
evidently believe firmly In the policy OF
claiming everything and getting what
they can. For example. they are con-
stantly asserting that Michigan Is 60
ing to give its vote for the Nebraskan.
1t does not appear that they have a sin
gle fact or figure to warrant the claim.
On the contrary, judging by recent
elections in that State, the Republicans
are justified in claiming 1t for Mckinley
by $4,000 or more. The record speaks
for itself In 1894, on the vote for
Governor. the Republicans had plu-
rality of 1O6, 1872 over the Democrats.
and a majority Of 1850 over the DEM
ocrats and Populists taken together.
Last year on the vote for Justice of the
Supreme Court the Republicans OBJ
tanned a plurality Of S0,4S7 over the
Democrats, and a majority Of 54,544
over the Democrats and PopuliSts to-
gether. In both years the Democrats
stood on a platform openly advocating
the free coinage Of silver.
WHAT 1T is.
InyO Register: Silver may be the poor
mans money, but it is far more a
fact that it takes a gold mine to run
silver mine. Poor man do run their
own gold mines with their own means
but 1t is not so with the poor mans
silver mine. 1t is capital" he wants
then, and capital doesn't hunt that or
any kind of speculative investments
when their possible product has no set
tied value
WILL TTIEi?
San Jose Mercury: There are between
100000 and 100000 bank depos-
itors in the United States with deposits
aggregating $5,0000O0,OO0. Do these
depositors propose to vote for 5O-cent
dollars?
DON'T VOTE Fol; A PANIC.
Fresno Enterprise: If you vote for a
panic and the panic comes, do not
blame the Government. The issue is
joined and the result will be just what
the ballots call for.
A HOME MARKET.
Visalia Delta: Agriculture is always
most profitable where there is a home
market for produce. Our poorest farm
ers are found In districts wholly de-
voted to agriculture, and the most
prosperous are those near manufactur-
ing cities and towns, where their pro-
duce is marketed. The average value
Of farm products annually to the in
dividual cultivator in the United States
is S457 to those living near a home
market and $160 to those living in a
wholly agricultural section and dis
tant from market. By encouraging
American manufactures we create a
home market and make prosperity for
the farmer.
POWERFUL MEN.
Stockton Independent: Some agri-
cultural politicians seem to regard the
recent rise OF over 10 per cent In the
price of wheat as dangerous to Bryan's
prospects, and declare that Hanna, Nc
Kinley and their crowd" have caused
the rise for political effect. If this
should prove to be true, then the power
of Mckinley and his crowd Is almighty
to have caused almost a famine in In
dia and drouths, short crops and a
consequent increased demand for all
American grain. All authorities agree
that the extraordinary demand upon
America Is caused by the shortage in
other countries, and if Mckinley could
be the cause he Is the man to elect for
President that he may continue to ex-
ercise his omnipotence for the benefit
of his countrymen.
