Ihe Good Mori

From gentleman resident of this
city who has just returned from pro-
tracted visit in the southern portion of
TIE state we learn that the people down
there are very enthusiastic for Bryan
ana free silver. The southern counties
which have been strongly Republican
in the past will this year, cur Informant
states, cast an astOnishingly heavy vote
for the Democratic nominee Occasion
was taken to make inquiry among the
employees on the street car lines in Los
Angeles which developed the informa-
ton that out Of a number slightly ex-
ceeding four hundred operators, over
three hundred of them were strongly in
favor of Mr., Bryan for president. a
general inquiry, he states, indicated
that among the labogins classes the
Democratic nominee was by far the
most popular and that there was every
reason to believe that Los Angeles
county one of the Republican strong
nolds of the state, would give a hand
some majority for the free silver can
didate.-Fresno EXpOsitor

Some c ur.ous Condolences

Editor Herald: In The Herald of
August 14th attention is drawn to the
likeness which artists find in the faces
of Washington and Bryan. May not the
fact that Bryan comes from Lincoln,
Neb, taken with this resemblance to
Washington, indicate that Providnce
has endowed him with spirit like to
that of these true friends of the people
and that we are to trust him as we
would have trusted them?

lilkened to Napoleon. Remove the IN. "

sential. ad we have Apoleon. very
nearly the name Apoliyon, used in the
book of Revelation for the angel of the

Worse still when we consider Mark
\. Hanna, for dropping MARK
we have left kahanna, which
certainly does not fall far short
of Gehenna, which is term used in the

and Lincoln.

Mark Hanna comes Mckinley: from
tomless pit comes the angel of destruc-
tion. from he'll the devil. Is it not an
omen or a warming?
In line with this is the fact that (Na-

Republican party.

Mr.. Snyder for flavor

Editor Herald: Judging from the
temper of the people, regardless of past
party affiliation and the tone of the op-
position press, the signs of the times
clearly indicate that the next mayer of
Los Angeles will be a Democrat. This,
however, cs;l be made a certainty IL

ences and select some gentleman for the
position VINO has the confidence of the
entire people; who is not at present, nor
has been in the past, allied with the
strife and chickering's that have for some
time proved detrimental to the success
Of our party. Fortunately, the Demo-
cratic party of Los Angeles has in it's
ranks many such members; any men,
ber who would "fll the bill' if either
of them could be prevailed upon to allow
their names to go before the people.
In common with all of our citizens 1

and we can only have good government
by placing at the head of our city affairs
men of capacity, intelligence and homes

manner, upon the confidence that may
be reposed in the men who alf at the
helm. And especially is this to be the
case for several years to come, as far as
our city is concerned.

fitted by nature, experience and practi-
cal education for the position of mayor
of Los Angeles-one who, if nominated
and he accepted the honor of the nom
ination, would prove invincible. / re-
fer to Hon. M. p. Snyder, councilman
from the Second ward. The public ca
reer of the gentleman is well and favor
ably known in this community. His
success as a business man has been
demonstrated right here in our midst.
In every position in life Mr.. Snyder has
been loyal to the best interests of Los
Angeles. His personal popularity has
been attested on more than one occa-
sion He is honest, he is fearless. He
belongs to that class of men who build
up communities. In short, Hon. M. r.
Snyder is the man of the hour. His

A FALSE NOTE

The mourning Mckinley organ SOL
emnly asserted a few days since that
"the tariff is the burning ISSUE but ap-
parently experiences considerable diff
ficulty itself in digesting the dictum,
to judge by the proportionate amount of
space allotted in its editorial columns
TO the currency and protection ques
tions. No attempt to draw the wool over
the voters eyes, however energetic and
well subsidized can possibly succeed.
The whole country has realized that
all other questions are at the moment
comparatively insignificant beside the
vital issue of the day, the dethronement
of Colds autocracy and the revocation
of the outlawry of silver. The St. Louis
Globe Democrat. a gold organ. has the
good sense to recognize this fact and
admirably expresses itself as follows:
"A few cranks among newspaper writ
ers and stump speakers who know moth
ing about any question except tariff,
still think that is an issue in this cam
paign, but the people are under no such
Illusion. A speech on the tariff, even in
Pennsylvania, in this canvass
would empty hall as quick
as would a cry of Fire. There
are two good reasons why tariff talk
this year would be lunacy-first, the
people are not thinking about the tar
if, and, secondly, the silver majority
in the senate would hold up all tariff
legislation through the first half of the
next presidential term and probably
during the second half also.
4 double barreled reason is here
given. proving the presentinanity and the
future futility of the attempt to COM
pound the issue.
The attempt is at Hanna's dictation.
He realizes that the chances of his cam
didate are desperate as against the
prospects of the champion of free sill
Yer, and that all the gold of Wall street,
all the intimidation and coercion of the
great monopolies cannot stem the Bryan
tide. The attempt is one of cowardice
also. The Republican leaders realize
that their heaviest array of arguments
against silver have been proved to be
shallow shams; that the "53-cent dol
lar they have prated about is but an
imagination OF their own invention and
will not friGhten or deceive the people;
that the wiles of the panic promoters
have proved unavailns, and finally that
the personal abuse of Mr.. Bryan and
the ridculing of the majority of the
citizens of this nation have been as abor-
tive as they We're abominable. Hence the
weaker Of their orators and their organs
are glad enough to shirk the music on
the program and play another tune, o
hackneyed and unpopular air. But the
people will not listen to it. The key
note of this campaign was struck long
before either Mr.. Mckinley or Mr.. Bryan
was nominated. At the Chicago con-
vention the keynote developed 4 grand
chord, which was in sympathy with the
minds of millions. The strain has daily
grown in strength, until a magnificent
chorus rises UP from every quarter of
the nation. There can be no confound-
ing the motif, though the Republican
brass blows the discord and the tat
too OF tariff is beaten on their drums.

Supply and demand regulate tho price
OF every article. Whenever the market is
overstocked with any article, down goes
the price. and whenever there Is a scarcity
of any article, up goes the price, This
fact is illustrated by the present demand
for wheat. Russia IL buyer this year, in.
stead of seller, tho Argentine Republic
and India are in the same fix, and as con-
sequence wheat has advanced in price
from 56 cents to rs cents per bushel. We
believe that it will reach dollar before
next May, and our country will be pretty
thoroughly drained of the surplus stock.
As result the price Of oats and corn will
also advance and consumers would do
we'll to secure supply at the present
prices. 1t may he that good harvests in
Other countries next year will again tehd

bu forgotten that prices depend In great
measure On tho supply aud demand. The
tullacy that tho decentralization oil silver
depressed prices has been clearly shown,
and intelligent men will not be msle9 by
such IL theory, Let the owners of the
mines turn their attention to some other
pursuit and AS soon as the demand for
silver is greater than the supply, there will
be Il rise in the price. The producers Of
other articles do not ask government aid,
