Expressions Of Coast Newspapers in
Brief,
On All Shades of Political Belief and
Upon Leading Topics of
the Day.

| money The same is beginning to be
true of textile fabrics also. 1t is due to
| the years of patient instruction IN
manual training which prevails in the
manufactures of Germany According
to law there, manufacturers must see
to it that their young workmen attend
| the technical and other schools so lib
orally provided for them. Here is a
useful suggestion for the United States.
| WHICH.
! Placerville Nugget: This is a battle
of the poor against the rich "howls the
anarchist" as he rustles for w. J.
Bryan. 1T is the laboring man arrayed
against the blood sucking monopolists
! of wealth." says the Demopopucratic
newspaper. And then the "GlobeDem-
ocrat" Of ST. Louis in the cruelist and
most disrespectful spirit possible goes
| to work and publishes list of twenty
two names of the leaders of Organism
and shows that their aggregate wealth
| is S547 100000. It's the same old howl
by the same old party with nothing but
| buncombe to back it.
| THE SUMS" OPINION.
Colusa Sun: Will they go fishing?
| No! A number Of leading Democrats,
who cannot see any further into the sill
yer milestone than the SUM- met at
| San Francisco a few days since to see
what their duty was in the coming
campaign. They cannot, under the law,
put up separate ticket and thus main
tain separate organization as the
genuine Democracy. In that event
some Of them propose that they go fish
| ing on election day. In full sympathy
with their feelings in the matter, the
Sun" wants to say to them that they
are on the wrong track A very large
majority of the men with whom they
have acted politically believe, or pro-
fess to believe, that it is better for the
| United States to use as money that
metal used in Mexico and the Orient
than use the metal used by the COM
mercial nations of the earth; that 1t is
! better to change our standards OF val
ues. These gentlemen who propose
going fishing cannot see it that way,
but they cannot go with the Republican
party, and hence they are confronted
with a condition that necessitates a
choice of evils. If one is ready to in
! dorse McKinleyism-read to say that
it is possible for man to lift himself
over the fence by the seat of his trou-
sers, or, in other words, that the poor
can better their condition by taxing
themselves more while the rich remain
untaxed-then his course is clear.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Stockton Record: it Is gratifying to
know that the managers Of the suffrage
campaign are vigilantly watching the
newspapers for adverse criticism. But
it is peculiar that criticisms Of their
management must come from friends.
There is no apparent open organized
! opposition to the suffrage movement
and that fact makes 1t all the harder
to fight effectively 1t takes a per-
sistent spirit to sustain enthusiastic
endeavor when there is no audible
dissent. To fight with any satisfaction
one wants an opponent.
TO THE RESCUE.
Amador Republican: The Republican
party has valiantly come to the rescue
| of the United States on several occa-
sions, and in each case it has performed
the grave duties imposed upon it in a
manner to call forth the loud acclaim
Of a thankful people. The same grand
old party has once again been called
upon to face an army Of mistaken,
misguided and ill-advised men and to
win them over to reason and right.
This is being done in all parts of the
Union, and by the day Of election in
November, the army of Altgeldites will
have been reduced to a corporal
guard.
MR.. BRYAN'S POSITION.
Vallejo Times: Reese Clark in his
speech before the Republican Congress
sonal Convention Saturday said that
when the United States adopts finan-
Gal policy-not waiting for internation-
al agreement, the nations Of the earth
Will fall over one another in their anx-
iety to take their stand with us. That
is Mr.. Bryan's idea exactly.
FOR A QUARTER OF A CENTURY.
Fresno Republican,: For more than a
quarter Of O century Prior to the ad
vent of the present Democratic Admin
| istration uninterrupted prosperity pre-
vailed in this country-an era Of devel-
opment and prosperity. indeed, such as
! this country has never known at any
other time. This was under the exist
ing money standard, but with the pro-
tective policy in full force and Ameri-
can labor fully employed in supplying
the demands of a healthy home market.
| There was no break in this prosperity,
notwithstanding the crime of 49," un-
| til free trade fanaticism secured full
control and 1t was proposed to sweep
away the foundation upon which our
great Industrial superstructure was
| founded. Then and not till then did
| idleness and want come to take the
place of industry and plenty.
WORK IN VISALIA.
Visalia Delta: notwithstanding the
fact that business generally is depressed
there has never been a time where there
were so few ViSalianS out of work. Men
and boys find employment in the orch
ards about town and women and girls
at the cannery. There is work for all
who want 1t, and no one need be with
out employment. The tramp is at pres
ent unknown here, for those who want
work find men seeking them, and those
who do not want work keep away from
a place where there Is no excuse for
being idle.
A LEAP IN THE DARK.
! Reno Gazette: The ablest financiers
in the world have warned poor people
that free coinage of the worlds silver
would put the United States on a sill
yer basis and reduce wages, crops, prop
erty and everything negotiable to that
| level. The silver men have denied this
