TIE WEEKLY GALL.

While THE WEEKLY CALL was primarily
issued as medium of news its mission
has been SO broadened that it is now of
special interest to farmers and miners,
while it al ways contains articles including
so many interests that no member of the
household can do without 1t.
Politically it is devoted to the upbuild-
ing of the party which has always labored
in the interests of the United States and
its prosperity-the party of Lincoln, Gar
field and Grant, Full reports o: the claims
of all other parties, however, are given,
and without prejudice.
There is always choice light literature
for the young folks of the household.
Realizing the difficulty experienced by
farmers at distance from market in
acquainting themselves with prices of
farm products we furnish concise review
of the market quotation of all produce for
the week, which may be relied upon as
being accurate.
You can place THE WEEKLY GALL in the
hands of your Eastern friends with conf
dence that it will help to bring them to
California. 1t is clean, bright and in
structive and should find place in every
household where a daily cannot be OBJ
tanned. Get the issue which appears to-
day and Judge for yourself.

BRYAN-sEwALL-WATsoN.

The returns from Maine, which show
the greatest victory the Republican party
has ever won in that State, are likely to
add more tangIes to the Bryan-Sewall
Watson combine. Sewsll has not only
proven that he has no influence at his
home, but that his candidacy is positive
injury to the party he represents, and
what is still worse is that the Watson end
of the three-cornered combination is re-
jolcing with exceeding great Joy that the
plutocratic end has come to grief. Wat
son can be relied upon to hold SewalI re-
sponsibIe for the humiliation of the COM
bine in Maine, although it was the CON-
nonsense of the people that did the
work, and he will splice it on to his already
strong lever to pry the Maine mIlliona ire
off the track.
But Watson proposes to do more than
that. He is en- route to Chicago
to confer with leading Popuiists, and

A WORD TO FARMERS.

Business depression in this country is
always caused by labor being unable to
find remunerative employment, and since
our shops, mills and factories give en-
ployment directly and indirectly to prac-
tically all labor, it follows, of course, that
when our industries are crippled all must
suffer. To illustrate how the conditions
under which our industries exist inhu-
ence general business we need only to
refer to the consumption of wheat by our
own people in given years-breadstuffs in
dicatlDg in some measure the consumption
of other articles of food.
In 1890 the industries of the country
were in operation on full time for the
most part, and wages were remunerative.
In that year the per capita consumption
of wheat (reduced to -FOUR was 600
bushels. In 1894, when the Wilson bill
had forced our industries into employing
labor on short time, or to close altogether,
the per capita consumption of wheat was
3.41 bushels. In 1895 there was spas
modic revival in some of the industries,
when the consumption per capita increased
to 4.54 bushels, but the average consump-
ton for 1S94-95 was a trifle less than four
bushels per man, woman and child, against
500 In 1890. This shows a decrease of SO
per cent in the demand upon farmers for
their products.
But for the items Of meats, clothing and
other articles which could be more or less
dispensed with, the shrinkage in the home
consumption demand was very much
greater than it was for breadstuffs. Some
idea of the effect of depression in our BUSH
ness life may be gathered from the follow
ing statements by eminent economic
statisticians: There are now "a, 600, 900
men, women and children occupied for
gain in all the arts on which life depends.
If constructive enterprise is paralyzed as
it has been and only per cent are idle,
that means 100000 men out of work and
nearly 100000 people suffering want,
while the food they would consume chokes
the farms with unstable products. If 10
per cent are idle, 400 900 need work ana
z, 200, 900 people suffer want, while the
food rots and wastes in the farmers bins"
This ought to satisfy any farmer that in
ratio to the demand for labor is there a
demand for his products independent of
the Liverpool markets, where he comes in
competition with Russian, Indian and
South American farmers, who employ the
cheapest labor in the world. But our
home demand for labor is continuous or
spasmodic in ratio to the ability of our
industries to compete with foreign pauper
labor, and hence it follows that protection
to our industries and labor Is necessary
to our farmers if they would have home
market for their products.

FOR HONEST MONEY.

A new club has been organized in this
City TO work in the cause of sound money.
The membership includes men in all
lines of business and of both political
parties. 1t is a non-partisan organization
as 10 politics, but it is very partisan as to
sound and honest money. The purpose of
the club is TO furnish information to
workingmen, in the several trades more
especially, concerning the money ques-
ton and the necessity for maintaining a
system of circulating medium which shall
make all forms of our money as good as
gold every hour in the day.
The club, being composed of men from
all the channels of business and employ
ment, will come in touch with the rank
and file of the labor world, and no doubt
good results will follow. Men in all sta
tions of life are more interested in the
money question than ever before. and it
is right that facts and figures should be
distributed literally, so that every one
may be informed on the subject. As a
matter of fact, no one wants unsound
money; but some are advocating theories
which, if put in practical operation, would

1t Is said that he will have good
backing when be makes a demand
to drop bryan ana put true and
tried Populist in his place on the ticket.
Watson will agree, however, to keep
Bryan at the head of the ticket if he will
come out and indorse the Popuiist plat
form from top to bottom and do whatever
else may &c necessary to give him full
membership in that party. 1t is very evil
dent that Watson is in the North to make
trouble for Bryan and Sewall, and there is
foundation for the rumor that Senator
Butler, Chairman OF the Populist National
COMMITTEES, is not trying to persuade
Watson to desist.
1t certainly is unfortunate for Bryan
and Sewall that the people of Maine rolled
up such mighty majority against them.
Especially is Bryan put in an awkward
position. There are thousands of Demo-
Gratis who would be glad to vote for
Bryan and Sewall. because they are the
regular nominees of the party, but they
would not vote for Bryan and Watson.
They are perfectly willing to make con-
Venlence OF the Populists and give them
few local offices, but it is quite different
thing to "miscegenate," as a Southern
Democrat puts it.
In any event, the Maine election is
bound to intensity the PopulIst feeling
against SewalI's candidacy, and it would
be no surprise if Watson should succeed
in having Bryan officially notified that
the continuance of himself as the Popu-
list candidate for President is contingent
upon his demanding the withdrawal of
Sewall. The old story about how the
gods first make mad those whom they
wish to destroy fits the Bryan-Sewall-
Watson combination perfectly, and the
Republicans of Maine are largely respon-
sible for it.
