M'KINLEY IN CALIFORNIA.

California is one of the states which
Mr.. Hanna puts into the Mckinley COL
umn. But here is letter from a re-
sponsible source which tells another
and truer story:
Editor Recorder: Los Angeles, the
banner Republican county in Califor-
mia, will give over 1000 majority for
Bryan. Six weeks ago Silver Republi-
can club was formed, with the expecta-
ton OF getting 500 members. There are
now 210O Republicans enrolled for Bry-
an and free silver congressman. The
Union Veterans Bryan club has 145
members, and the German Bryan club
has membership four times that of
the German Mckinley club.
In California there is fusion major
ity OF 10000, and it is expected that Bry-
an Will carry by nearly 10000, though
Mckinley is strong in San Francisco.
The Republicans have been driven to
importing high-salaried orators from
the east Appearances indicate an in
crease IN the sentiment for silver.
WIN. F. BURBANK.
Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. Is, 1896.
TO anyone acquainted with the silver
and antf-railroad sentiment Of Califor-
ma, Mr.. Hanna's calm appropriation of
that state exposes him as a braggart.
and discredits all his other claims of
doubtful territory. With the railroad
and goldbug interests Of California SUD-
porting him, Mckinley has no more
chance of getting the electoral vote
OF California that Bryan has of getting
the personal vote of Marcus Artful Han.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
an AR|THMET|CAL SUN
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BY JOHN SHIRLEY WARD

I have been requested to restate the
sum in arithmetic l submitted to the
audience at the wigwam on Saturday
night. 1t was this: That according to
the estimates of the United States Sec
retary of the treasury, there were only
about $600.000,00O of gold in the United
States, and this would, if divided out
equally among the people give to each
one about $8. Taking the population of
California for 1890, she would be entitled
to something less than 100000 Now,
there are gold mortgages on the homes
and farms Of California amounting in
1890 to $241 900 900. How are you to so
$241, ,000, 900?
This was the arithmetical proposition
1 submitted to bankers and accountants
on Saturday evening, and had not my
voice been too weak to be heard by
the immense audience, I intended to have
said: 1.-THE census of 1890 shows that
there are $3.50 farms in California and
that 45,127 of them are under mortgage,
leaving only 1857 farms without a mort
gage By the census of $780, we find
that these farms were mortgaged for
$120, ,000, 900. and the city homes for the
same amount If these mortgages aver
aged per cent, the interest on them is
s1s,s2o,O0O each year. while the entire
product of gold in California for 1894
was $13, $4,000 and if every dorlar of our
gold product for that year had been ap-
piled to our interest debt, it would have
still left balance due on interest ac-
count for one year Of &c. ,O0O"
These facts are not newspaper re-
ports, but can be found in the United
States census reports for 1890, now in
the city library. Will some acute bank
er show us the way out of this trouble?
This statement shows only 81 for each
S24 of mortgage. What would one Of our
bankers think if a mortgage should
call at the bank and offer to pay on
his mortgage only 81 out of s24 of the
mortgage?

upon their redemption in gold. There
never has been. according to the gold
ties, silver dollar coined since'1873 pos
sessing the function of ultimate redemp-
tion money. Copper or any other metal
at any ratio, therefore. would answer
the same purpose. Under the ruling Of
the treasury for the past eight years
more especially there is no legal tender
money other than gold. Silver and pa
per dollars have their value as money
because they are exchangeable for gold,
according to the decisions of the treas
ury department, which reduces the per
capita redemption money Of the country
in actual circulation to less than So. Mr.
Reed and his gold-bug following talk
about $23 per capita. but $40 of it is COM
posed Of what they say would have no
money value were 1t not backed and in
dorsed by gold, and according to their
own showing there is not enough avail
able gold to redeem 20 per cent of 1t. Now
what free silver coinage means Is the
reinstatement Of the $500, ,000. 900 of silver
token money to its old position of re-
demption money and the free coinage
Of all bullion offerings. That is what
labor and industry must have If It Is to
be free and independent Of the syndicates
of money lenders which are enabled to
control the money Of the country. be-
cause the only ultimate redemption
money the country possesses, so the
treasury rules, is gold money,

M'KINLEY'S TALK

Major Mckinley told visiting dele
cation yesterday that I'VE have had all
the free trade we want in the United
States" Inasmuch as the United States
have never had free trade" it is a little
difficult to see what he was driving at.
It certainly cannot be that the man is
was ever on free trads basis. yet if
he does not believe it he intended to
mislead his visitors, and a man who
would resort to such trick to win votes
Is hardly fit person to be elected presi-
dent 1t is safe to say. however, that he
was referring to the Wilson German
act, but the less he says about that law
In comparison With tho act that bore
his name the better he will appear be-
fore the public.
The Wilson-Gorman act does not. DIFF
fer materially from those In operation
prior to 1892. Its schedule Of customs
duties averages about II per cent
against about 4s per cent provided for
by the Mckinley act, so If Mr.. Mckinley
had the present Democratic act in his
mind when he talked about free trade.
he is either a very ignorant man or q
AS concerning the influence the pres
ent tariff exerts upon the business inter-
ests of the country, as compared with
the act 1t superseded, the official sta
tistics show that wages in the industries
averaged lower under the Mckinley act
than under the preceding or succeed
Ing acts. Moreover, during the nearly
four years Of the operation Of the Nc
Kinley act the revenue deficiency was
over $S0.000.000. The growth Of many of
the industries has been very much
healthier since than during the time the
Mckinley act prevailed. There have
been fewer labor troubles since the re-
peal Of the act of 1892. and there has
been q large increase in the value and
volume Of our exports of manufacture
In short, the official figures show that
not a single industry was materially
benefited by tho Mckinley act, and they
show, also, that its failure to provide
revenue enough to meet the require
ments of the government, together with
its hurtful influence in the commercial
world obliged President Harrison's ad-
ministration to prepare to borrow $780,

cast for Mr.. Snyder in the postal pri-
maries of the Better City Government
league is q warrant for such confidence.
His name will today be considered by
the league in convention, together with
those Of julius H. Martin, the Repub-
lican candidate, and Geo. H. Stewart.
the Independent nominee. Between Mr..
Snyder and Mr.. Martin, for those who
desire to seen the city escape from the
thralldom of an obnoxious system, there
can be no hesitation. Mr.. Snyder's rec
ord on the question of the City Water
company is plain and positive. He is
unalterably opposed to any further
vacillation as regards the company; he
believes that the city should promptly
secure its own water works and thus
provide an adequate and economical
system in every way for the benefit Of
every citizen. Mr.. Snyder has the ad-
vantage of that record. Mr.. Martin has
no record. Accordingly the City Water
company are bitterly opposed to Mr..
Snyder's election, while Mr.. Martin is
apparently entirely acceptable to them.
Furthermore. the city hall gang. whose
intrigues and Vaccinations will always
be menace to good government.is zeal

THAT SYNDICATE OF LIARS

The Republican national syndicate of
campaign liars has taken hold of the
telegraph wires of the country and the
work Of claiming everything is under
way. The idea is. of course, to discour-
age the Democracy and correspondingly
encourage the Republican rank and
file. Yesterday the news was sent to ev-
cry telegraph station in the country
that Ohio would give Mckinley the
largest majority ever given presiden-
tial candidate, but the lie was given to
the whole business by Mckinley maxi
ing personal appeal to Depew to come
out and help save Ohio to the party.
Indiana and Illinois will, it is given out,
cast so many votes for the Canton
man that it will take a long time to
count them, while in New York the vote
will be practically solid for Mckinley.
1t is given out that 1t is not worth
the while Of the Democracy to further
contest McKinley's election, for the lat.

ANARCHISTIC TALK

In the peroration of one Of his
speeches, not reported by the Associated
Press, William J. Bryan was delivered
Of the following anarchistic and infiam-
matory remarks:

authority Of those who stand high in the
nations councils. We can apply to the
money question the laws we see en-
forced every day, and we can gather
testimony from the analogies of nature.

kind a need without giving them the
means of satisfying it. When he gave
to man the necessity of food he covered
the earth with his bounties, and there
has always been enough to satisfy the
hunger of man. And when he made wa
ter necessary for human existence, he
scattered the living springs along the
hillside. And when he allowed weari-
ness to creep over the limbs, he sent
sleep to restore strength. And when he
gave man q mind capable of develop
ment, he filled the universe with his Won
ders. which may well occupy the
thoughts of man.
When he gave mankind the desire OF
society and fashioned the channels OF
trade, he stored away in the secret
places Of the mountains the gold and
silver suitable for a worlds money. Man.

A TRAvEsTY ON JOURNALISM.

The New York Sun continues its broad
minded, intelligent and respectful con-
duct of the campaign:
THE Florida election? Alas! It sig
miles nothing as an expression of en-
lightened and patriotic sentiment. We
must look elsewhere for that, and the
necessity involves reflection on Flor
ida civilization which it is painful to
contemplate"
There was time-and we pray that it
may come again-when the Sun would
have been ashamed to utter such
wrethched gibberish as this. The indis-
criminate denunciation and disparage-
ment of the other side belongs to the
blatherskite newspapers and stupid
demagogues, not to journals of the
higher civilization. But the Sun has
gone mad this year. 1t has descended
to the pitiful level of abuse, detraction,
and mendacity. Those who do not agree
with it-in its present attitude, bien
entendu-are Williams, horse thieves and
traitors to the state. Those who do arc
exponents of all the patriotic and intel
lectual and moral virtues. What spec
tacle in an enlightened age! What a
travesty on decent journalism! The
Sun reminds us of copperhead stepped
in August torpor.-Washingt Post.
