OHIO AND INDIANA

Republican leaders in the east are be-
ginning to have doubts about Mckinley 5
carrying his own state, but no student
of Ohio politics would be surprised if
Bryan got the electoral vote by $4,000
majority. The people of Ohio have been
educated on the lines of free silver for
a third of century. In years past
Democratic and Republican leaders in
Ohio went to great extremes to show
their contempt for the gold standard.
Only about twenty years ago John
Sherman declared that the United
States bonds were payable in green
backs if the government SO elected. He
insisted, in the same speech, that the
government had the right to pay any
and all demands upon it in any kind Of
it's issues of money.
George II. Pendleton, the Ohio De-
mocracy's idol, at one time was an
enthusiastic greenbacker Major Nc
Kinley was an ardent champion of free
silver coinage until about a year be-
fore the st. Louis convention. AS la re
as 1893 he declared that the mints should
be thrown wide open to the product of
all American silver mines. Butter

DENSE STUPIDITY

The Los Angeles Times gives as a
reason for the failure of the Oakland
Cotton mill the operation of the Will
son-G German tariff act, which so lowered
customs duties that the mill could not
compete with eastern and European
manufacturers What in the name Of
common sense, has the Wilson German
tariff act to do with competition be-
tween American industries? Does the
Times want tariff schedule that VIII
protect California industries against
New England competition? The only
way to secure what the Times appears
to want is for California to secede. Is
that what the Times means?
The machinery of the Oakland mill
was shipped to Japan because 1t coul1
not secure certain contracts for its pro-
duct 1t was underbid by an eastern
mill. and Europe had nothing whatever
to do with it. The fact of the matter is
the Times put the blame upon the VIII
son-Gorman act to deceive its readers,
but such glaring Misrepresentation is
a reflection upon the intelligence of the
Times patrons. However, it knows its
subscribers better than we do. and X
the purpose of the Times will find no
lodgment in their obtuse minds In that
event it may be considered good Repub
lican politics to stuff the rank and file
with the idea that the Democratic tariff
act is actually taxing California indus
tries in the interest of New England
mills.
The wonder is that the Times did not
say the Wilson German Democratic
tariff or free trade" act gives no pro-
lection to California mills and factories
against the "pauper labor" of New Eng
land. A consistent Republican partisan
in campaign times would be a curiosity,
but all the same the Times appears To
assume that it can rely upon the igno-
rance Of its followers to swallow any
kind of a dose it may want to give. II
is to be hoped. however, that there is
not man in California SO stupid as 10
believe the Times story that the Will
son-Gorman act drove the Oakland Cot
ton mill to Japan because under the op-
GRAFTON of the act another American
mill was given superior advantages.

LIGHT WANTED

Speaker Reed is coming to the Pacific
coast to tell the people why they SHOULD
vote for Mckinley. 1t does not appear
just now what reason he could give FOR
their doing such a foolish thing, es-
pecially as he entertains only contempt
for the "omniverous west" The Pacific
coast cities are very much in need of
merchant marine, and although the
Republican platform declares for some
thing of the kind, Mr.. Reed might ex-
plain how it was that his party destroy
ed a splendid merchant marine-a ma
rine that was built up by Democratic
administrations.
President Buchanan left an American
merchant marine that was sailing all
oceans, but it was subsequently driven
out of existence by the Republican
party. Mr.. Reed might explain, too,
how it happened that there We're more
labor strikes and a more general re-
duction of wages during the Harrison
administration than during any Demo-
cratic administration since the govern
ment was founded. And he might make
mention of the fact that notwithstand-
ing his party is clamoring for greater
protection to our iron industries" they
are underselling England in British ter
ritory on practically every kind of iron
and steel product.
Without referring to Reeds Billion
Dollar Congress-" the man from Maine
would confer a favor upon the Pacific
coast people by telling them how it is
that New England made boots and
shoes carpetS collars and cuffs an3
very many other protected articles
can be bought for less money in Eng
land than in California. The people of
the coast country would like light on
these little matters.
