THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
PATRIOTISM, PROTECTION
and PROSPERITY.
FOR PRESIDENT
WILLIAM MCKINLEY, Of Ohio
FOR TICF-PRBsIDENT-
GARRETT 4. HOBART, of NeE Jersey
ELECTION NOVEMBER 8, 1896.
The strength of Hobart's letter shows
that it came from strong man.
What California workingman found any
profit in the Cleveland administration
Bryan may well be silent on his free
trade record, for the record itself speaks
loud enough.
We have tried one step in the direction
of free trade, and no intelligent man
wishes to take another.
Let the wage-earner ask himself, What
is there in all Bryan's promises that prom
ises anything for my welfare2
There is no defender for the German
md Wilson tariff. Even German and
Wilson themselves are silent.
We have celebrated the greatness of
California, and now let US resolve to ad-
vance her welfare by protecting her in
dustries.
The deficit in the National revenue for
the month of August was about $10,OOO,-
020, and still Mr.. Bryan jauntily declares
there is no issue in that
Democratic leaders seem to have aban-
doned Bryan's fight and are now trying to
secure their own election to Congress with
out regard to the boy orator.
Bryan so completely exhausted himself
in his speech at Madison-square Garden
that his letter OF acceptance was about as
limp and loose as wet dishrag.
1t is not clear what kind of wine Hill
furnished to Bryan at that famous dinner,
but it seems certain that he took Mumm
himself and is still sticking to it.
San Francisco prospered under protec-
ton and has been injured by the Wilson
tariff. Let us vote for Mckinley and pro-
lection and advance San Francisco.
Chow can 1 best help my trade, nv
State and the Nation by my vote ?" is the
question every patriot is asking himself,
and the only answer is, "by voting for
Mckinley"
II Cleveland had any vim and vigor in
him he would take some action in the
Cuban question just to let the country
know he has some ideas above those of a
lone fisherman.
The importance of the tariff issue to all
the Industries of California will not be
overlooked by the people notwithstanding
the efforts of the Democrats to get them to
look the other way.
From the letter of acceptance of Ga-ret
a. Hobart it is clear he is good running
mate for Mckinley, and the people can
see that his nomination for Vice-Presi-
dent was no accident.
The letters of acceptance of Bryan and of
Hobart appeared on the same day and were
published yesterday side by side to the great
injury OF the boy orator, whose effusion
seemed stale and fat by the contrast.
In his letter of acceptance BRYAN said :.
1T is not necessary to discuss the tariff
question at this time"; and he was Quite
right in saying it, for the experience of the
act fhroa boo
they wish to know about that subject
from the free-trader's point of view.
Lii Hung Chang has everywhere shown
great interest in railways, but as he has
not asked TO be shown through a bicycIe
factory it is clear that the Chinese intel
lect hasn't yet reached the full develop
ment OF the enlightened man of this CEN
tury.
The curious thing about this campaign
is that no one of any note is going to help
Bryan. He has to do all the travelling, all
the talking, all the dndging, and there is
an increasing probability that before he
gets through he will have to pay his own
expenses.
Study the effect OF the German tariff on
your own home and your own trade and
you will see pretty clearly what has been
its effect on the people generally; and you
will also see why you should vote for the
party which is pledged to re peal that tariff
and restore the protective system under
which we enjoyed the greatest prosperity
as Nation known to history.
The Republican platform on which Lin
coin was elected declaredin favor of "that
policy OF National exchanges which Sc
cures to the workingman living wages, to
agriculture remunerative prices, to me-
chanics and manufacturers an adequate
reward for their skill, labor and enterprise,
and to the Nation commercial prosperity
and independence" On the same plat
form Mckinley stands to-day. and rightly
asks the support of all VINO. like Lincoln,
believe in promoting American industry
against the competition of the world.
