at good pay. These idle men are in no
sense objects of charity. They are manly
men and loyal, high-minded citizens, and
all they ask is chance to employ their
brain and muscle at remunerative wages.
This certainly is an important cam
paign, not only because the honor and
credit of the Nation is under attack. but
because it is necessary to the well being
OF all the people that mill and factory and
shop should resume operations. The ex-
pertinent of filing the markets with
articles that are the product of foreign
countries has shown in thousand ways
that protection against that sort of thing
must be had if we would be free, pros
porous and independent people. The is
sue is narrowed down to two inseparable
propesitions-the preservation of the Ma
tion's honor and credit and ample oppor-
tunity for working people to secure en-
ployment at good wages. Major Mckinley
stands for those propositions. Mr.. Bryan
stands for Reputation of the Nations
solemn promises and for a still nearer
approach to free trade than the present
low tariff act provides.

THE SUNDAY GALL"

To-morrow's edition of THE CALL will
contain number of particularly bright
and interesting features. and. it is almost
needless to add, all the. news of all
the world, politically and otherwise.
1t isn't every week that literary menu
equal to the one that will be presented to-
morrow can be published, because the
best efforts of writer's, editors and artists
sometimes fall short of their own high
ideas, and there is, too, sometimes dearth
of attractive features as there is of news.
And while THE SUNDAY CALL has increased
in popularity each week, as the ever grow
ing subscription list amply proves, it is
also true that to the trained editorial eye
at least the attractiveness of its literary
supplement must vary at times, though,
perhaps to an extent inappreciable to the
general reader.
However, the bill OF fare for the coming
Sundays issue would seem to satisfy even
the most critical, and bare recital of the
titles of some of the more attractive fea-
lures is sufficient:
Tender Sentiment and Fierce Passion
to Be Weighed and Measured.
Absorbing Tales of Vanished Mines.
A Little Eat Queen and her Big Jubilee.
A Thing of Beauty.
As Free as the Air.
Who Have Grapes to Sell Smile Com
placentIy.
Good Manners for Horses.
Some Four-footed Soldiers.
New and Beautiful Autumn Fancies of
the Dressmakers.
I'm Childhood's Realm" the best chill
dren' page published in any daily news
paper.
Strange Harvest Ceremonies of an Un-
canny People.
Building OF the Great Warships for the
New Navy.
The Year 1901 and the Law of Cycles.
A Mighty Nation That Sank in Mid
ocean Before the Great Deluge.
Marlposa's Harness for the Mystic

Aside from these and many other inter-
esting and handsomely illustrated depart
ments there will be the Book Reviews,

LABoR'S RESPONSIBILITY.
New Y ork Press.


1t is the power of the wage-earners OF thls
coun try to make the defeat of Mr.. Bryan the
most overwhelming that ever has been admin
istered to a candidate for President. In every
State north of Mason and Dixon's line where
there is reasonable doubt as TO the result OF
the election the wage-earners will cast the de-
Gliding votes. II is proper that it should be so,
for in this election the wage-earner has more
at stake than any one else and his respousi-
bility must be measured by what he does on
the day of election.
In the States of Maryland, Michigan, Vir-
ginia, Missouri, Kentucky, California and In
diana the votes of the wage-eaIners Will turn
the scale; and here is their opportunity abSO-
lutely to wipe out Organism, for with these
Sta ties, or part of them. carried for Mckinley
Bryan's electoral vote would be so small as TO
make him and his cause the objects OF uni
sal ridicule
The Press has no doubt that majority of
the wage-earners of this country will vote for
MIR. Mckinley, just as II has no doubt that he
will be elected President. But the wage
earners can do more than assist in the cleo
tion of Major Mckinley; they can make the
defeat OF Mr.. Bryan a political mass acre
They can annihilate the silver conspiratOrS
and exterminate reputation. And this is
what they must do. They must not be con-
their wages against Mr. Bryan's plan TO make
their dollars buy less than they now buy.
They must not be satisfied with checking for
season the attack upon their purchasing
power. They must make it i'm possible for any
man in the present generation ever again TO
dare assert that the dollar which Is paid 10
labor must buy less than IL now buys.

AN APPEAL.

In his address to the Western Reserve
delegation Major Mckinley said: Never
has the Republican cause more closely ap-
pealed to conscience and intelligence than
in this campaign" The meaning of this
is that the conscience of no right-thinking
American should permit him longer to see
the destitution among working people,
caused by shutting down the Nations in
dustries as a result of the Wilson-G German
act, without putting forth all his strength
and influence to have the great wrong
righted, and that the intelligence Of the
people should give hearty sanction to the
effort.
And it is true that the time has come
when the appeals of the thousands in en-
forced idleness for employment must be
listened to. For three years the condition
of wage-earpers in all industries has been
growing worse, and for no reason other
than that an unjust and hurtful law bars
the way to remuDerative employment.
Surely no fair-minded man is willing that
wage-earners should be subjected to pcv-
erty and distress, especially when all that
is required to give them proper conditions
of existence is to enact q law that shall
permit the industries to give them work

MUNICIPAL POLITICS.

Citizens of San Francisco, the issues of the
municipal campaign have been formulated
by the various conventions and are now
before you. The chief of these issues is
the choice of men to administer the affairs
of the City. All candidates are pledged
TO economy, progress, lower taxation, pub
lie Improvements aud administrative re-
form. To which set of candidates shall
the work of reform be entrusted?
Candidates for Office are to be judged by
the record they have made in public and
private life. They are to be judged also
by their associates. We must elect men
of good personal character who are sur
rounded and supported by good men.
Unless the candidate be honest he will not
try to fulfill his pledges, and unless his sup
porters are equally honest he cannot fulfill
them if he tries
You know that back of the ticket headed
by Supervisor Dimond stands Boss Buckley
and his gang. You know that back of the
ticket headed by Mr.. Phelan stands Boss
Rainey and his gang. You know also that
back of the ticket headed by Colonel Tay-
lor stands group OF men who represent
the best element of our civic life--men
who have personal and business interest
in the welfare of the City-men who are
large property holders, taxpayers and en-
ployers of labor. Which of these tickets
best represents you? Which is most like

faithful always to the performance of duty ?
Has he not guarded the interests of the
taxpayers and OF the people generally2
What is the choice presented to you? Is
it not the simple one OF deciding whether
our municipal affairs shall be intrusted to

Will you not, as loyal Republican and as

SUFFICIENT REASON.
Stockton Record.

stockton Record.
The CALL shows that the silver mines owned
by Hearst will increase his revenue from
$40, 600 to $4,000 per month in case Of free
coinage OF silver. This is sufficient reason why
Mr.. Hearst's papers, the Examiner OF San Fran
cisco and the Journal of New York, are clamor-
ing for free silver. Still there are papers which
have even better reasons than Hearst. He
has at least got to secure free coinage before
his mines yield the additional income. The
reward is therefore contingent on success
Those organs that have received their silver
mine dividend in advance may be said to exist
on the prudential side of the issue. Contin-
gent fees in politics and journalism never pan
out very well-not more than So cents on a
dollar. But lump sum for a retainer is such
cheerful evidence of prosperity that convic-
tions are soothed and zeal sustained through
the most arduous campaign. We are not dis
posed to view the Examiner with aversion, but
rather with eyes of pity, tempered with some
what of admiration for its heroism in under
taking such difficult task merely on contin-
gency. Had it been working for corporation
instead of its proprietor's mining interests it
would have demanded regular wage, or say
$12,O fee in advance.
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-03
A WORD TO REPUBLICANS.

The retirement of Mr.. Sonntag from the
defeat the Republican party in this City
win suggest to all loyal members of the
party the folly of further fighting. Why
should there be any continuance of the
dispute, which has been carried to the
highest party authority in the State and
settled in accordance with the time
honored and universally followed rules
and practices of the organization?
Party discipline is absolutely essential
to party organization and party success.
There must be somewhere within every
organization an authority which all
mem bers recognize, respect and obey.
That authority is the State Central
Committee. None can question that in
the Republican party at any rate the State
Central Com mittee Is made up OF men of
the highest character, of just impartiality
and of genuine devotion to Republican
principles. 1t is composed of eighty mem
bers-one from each Assembly district in
the State-and the executive committee
of twenty-one members selected by the
chairman of the late Republican State Con-
yention. The committee deservedly en-
joys the confidence of the Republicans of
the State.
1t speaks with an authority given it by
the party itself, and how can any one who
calls himself a Republican deny that
authority without denying at the same
time the right OF the Republican organiza-
ton to be self-governing body? In every
State of the Union the administration OF
the party is intrusted to State Central
Committee, to whose decisions loyal men,
bers yield cheerful obedience.
Where there are differences of opinion
there must be way to decide them. The
State Central Committee is the authority
which has the right to decide all
questions of the party. In this San
Francisco contest it has spoken, with
but one dissenting voice. Party discipline
and loyalty will give support to the de-
cision. Those who try to prolong the
dlssenslons Will ind no favor among those
who desire to see victory for Republican
ism.
There should be no rebellion against the
decision of this high authority of the party,
to which the controversy was voluntarily
referred. Mr.. Ruef (himself a member of
the State Executive Committee) and those
whom he represents are in honor bound
to abide the decision rendered. True
and loyal Republicanism demands that
they submit to party authority, and if
they would hereafter be credited with the
fealty to the Republican party which
they so constantly assert they will go no
further in this business. The fight within
the party has been fought to a finish.
Now let it STOP

The San Francisco call., 1896-10-03
Mr.. S0NNTAG'S WITHDRAWAL.

In following the example of Mr.. Horace
Davis and retiring from contest which
threatened to divide the Republican vote
in this City Mr.. Henry P. Sonntag will
have the applause not only of genuine
Republicans but of all good citizens. His
action goes far toward unifying the Re-
publican party. 1t brightens the pros
pect OF success at the polls and gives
fair assurance of the election of Colonel
Taylor and of the establishment of q good
municipal administration in this City.
Among the reasons assigned by Mr..
Sonntag for his patriotic course is one
which deserves the careful consideration
of every voter. 1t refers to the serious
point of what would be the result of the
adoption of the proposed new charter.
Mr.. Sonntag says:
The Mayor. under that charter, would be
vested with great power and responsibilities
and would have the appointment of many
public officials The election OF a Mayor in
that event would be of great importance TO the
Republican party of this City, and SO, after
full consideration, feel that 1 should not do
anything that might possibly jeopardize the
election of Republican to that Office, which
two Republican candidates in the field might
do, and have, therefore, decided to step aside
in the interest OF party unity and to subserve,
as 1 believe. the best interest of this City by
assuring the election of Republican to that
Office.
No one can read these words without
realizing both the truth and the impor-
tance of them. San Francisco faces pos
sible crisis in her history. The adoption
of the new charter would certainly be
crisis. This is no time to take chances, no
time to make experiments. No class of
citizens can afford to run the risk of elect
ing the candidate of either the Buckley or
Rainey faction of the Democratic party.
We must elect a good Mayor in order to
be sure of anything like good govern
ment.
Mr.. Sonntag pays a justly deserved COM
pliment to Charles 4. Taylor in speaking
of him as "a respected citizen, who has
filled many positions of public trust with
honor and fidelity, has been nominated by
one or more conventions of citizens for
that office. He is Republican, and, in
my opinion, would make conscientious
and able Mayor"
No one can question the justice of this
estimate of Mr.. Taylor's character. 1t is
to be trusted, therefore, that Mr.. Sonn-
tags action will mean the end of the long
fight in the Republican party, and that
from this time forward we can go on
unitedly for victory and good govern
ment. The imitation OF Mr.. Sonntag's
example by other Republicans who are in
position similar to his would complete
the unity of the party and assure victory.
Is 1t too much to expect them to show this
regard for the interests of the party and
the welfare of the City?
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-03
TWO KINDS OF BIMETALLIsM.

Mr.. Bryan will not advance the cause
for which he is laboring by trying to i'm
peach the honor and integrity of Major
Mckinley. The people of this country,
irrespective of party, look upon Major
Mckinley as the highest type of Ameri-
can manhood. There are very many who
would not vote for him because they are
not in sympathy with the principles of
his party, but no one questions his per-
sonal integrity. No one believes Major
Mckinley to be capable of accommodate
ing himself to any political doctrine for
personal political advantage, and Mr..
Bryan shows ignorance of public senti-
ment when he undertakes to make it ap-
pear that his opponent is mere political
weathercock. Hitherto Mr.. Bryan has
held himself aloof from that sort of cam
paigning, and it must be that he is get
ting desperate in the face of sure defeat
that makes him invent absurd charges
against Major Mckinley.
If Mr.. Bryan will take the trouble to
trace Major McKinley.s record on the
silver question from his first public utter

supply and demand. 1t has few advantages,
but many disadvantages. The chief disad-
vantage is that the value changes from day to
day, and in doing any business with the civil
ICED nations you are compelled to walt until

Men buy and sell millions OF silver Tor future

tremendous that almost every merchant In the
east was engaged upon it. Finally, in 1871,
there came crash, hundreds OF firms, iarge
and small, were ruined, and millions OF dol
lars were swept out OF existence
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-03

ance down to his speech to the last visit
ing delegation he will find that he has
always been consistent bimetallist. and
he will also find that Major Mckinley has
always mixed a good deal of sound busi-
ness sense with his attitude on the coin
age question.
The difference between Major McKin-
.ey's plan of re-es'a blishing the double
standard and Mr.. Bryan's free-gold-and-
silver-coinage scheme is broad and dis
tinct. and they are necessarily dia-
metrically opposed. Major McKinley's
plan contemplates the demonstration OF
silver in the interest of the Nations COM
merce. Mr.. Bryan's scheme has in view
the doubling of the price of the product
OF silver mines. Each has in mind the
free and unlimited coinage of silver, but
Major Mckinley looks to the good OF all
the people, while Mr.. Bryan looks to the
interests of silver mine owners and specu-
lators.
Major Mckinley refuses to sacrifice our
foreign commerce, amounting to $1,000
O00, 600 annually, in which all the people
have interest, to enhance the bullion price
OF silver. He insists that other countries
with whom we have business relations
shall be invited to meet with US in con-
ference to not only agree upon an inter-
national basis for a double standard of re-
demption money (silver and gold), but to
enter into reciprocal trade relations to the
end that we may have still more and
better foreign markets for our surplus
products. Mr.. Bryan says in effect: LET
our foreign commerce 20 to perdition.
Double the price OF the product OF silver
mines. That is my position on the coin
age question"

INCONSISTENCY SHOWN UP
Santa Rosa Republican.

The San Francisco CALL has been success
fully showing up the inconsistency of the
Examiner of that city on the financial ques-
ton. For some time the latter paper nagged
the former on its changed position in regard
to silver coinage. Finally THE CALL turned
upon its Democratic-Populistic contemporary
and 1t has made good use of its inning.
In 1895 the Examiner was a sound-money
Laper Then 1t declared in favor OF silver
dollar containing dollars worth of silver.
May A, 1895, 1t said its experience had not en-
couraged 1t to believe that this country
could maintain parity of value of the two
metals at 16 to 1 and suggested 25 to l. Then
that paper stood by Carlisle and opposed so
cent or 80 cent dollars. THE CALL is now re-
publishing those articles to the discontinue of
the Examiner in its present posi- ton.
