Expressions Of Coast Newspapers in
Brief,
On Ali Shades of Political Belief and
Upon Leading Topics of

Biggs Argus: Notwithstanding the
fact that the wheat crop has been light
this season, the warehouses contain an
immense amount Of grain, nearly all of
which is being held for a better price.
Those who understand the market con-
ditions seem of the opinion that the
present low prices of wheat will not
increase to any extent till after the
election, but all claim that owing to the
decrease in the production all over the
world, especially in the Argentine Re-
public, no matter which way the cleo
tion goes, wheat is bound to rise In val
ue and all who can afford to hold their
product will receive a good price for
their grain. The bulls and bears of the
wheat exchanges seem united in judg-
ment on these lines. In view of the
encouraging prospect, it is to be hoped
that the farmers will be able to secure
loans on their wheat sufficient to meet
present demands and that the money
lenders will not attempt to scare them
into forced sales and thus deprive them
of the just profits Of their industry.
MONEY AND COMMERCE.
Kern Echo: In the selection Of the
kinds Of money to do bushes with,
commerce is much given to disregarding
statutory laws. Though government
may say in the most emphatic manner
possible that silver dollar is as good
as a gold one the world VIII not so
accept it unless the nation making
the declaration stands ready to inter-
change one for the other. 1t is this
offer to give gold dollars for silver
ones which keeps the latter up to an
equality with the former.
HOW FREE WOOL WORKED.
Humboldt Standard: Four years ago
the same politicians and orators who
to-day are shouting for Bryan and free
silver clamored for free wool and a
manufactured wooden goods. So far as
the election was concerned they were
successful They succeeded then In
convincing a majority Of the citizens
OF this great country that free trade
(protection to American industries be-
ing unconstitutionaD was the proper
policy to pursue. We now know beyond
all doubt as to the desirability of such
q policy, and the above mentioned poll
tioianS and orators are silent on the
question. In fact, they claim that the
tariff is a local issue. AS they were
just as positive In 1892 that free wool,
ETC., would result in increasing the price
of wool to the grower and a low tariff
on manufactured goods would open the
markets of the world to the American
manufacturer, we cannot be blamed
for doubling their judgment on all 9TH
er things. even at ratio of 10 to 1.
CHANCE FOR CHANGE.
San Jose Herald: One advocate says
that free silver will be followed by a
great imitation Of the currency which
would result In high prices and relative
ly cheap money. Another says that free
silver would result In the disappearance
Of gold and a contraction Of the cur
rency, causing low prices and dear
money. Which is right? VIII silver
flow to the mints for coinage faster
than gold will disappear from circula-
ton? If it does can 1t be coined? Our

AN IDEA TO BE INDORsED.

At a meeting of the Executive Conn-
mittes Of the California Press Associa-
ton. held In San Francisco On Monday
Mr. w. II. Mills, representing, and by
request of the Executive Or Managing
Committee of theSan Francisco Carnival
Association, presented q proposition
that is timely, wise, and ought to have
the unanimous Endorsement Of the peo-
pie and the press. since it is in the in
teTests Of harmony and general salts
faction with spring festivals and floral
fetes.
The idea. advanced is that instead Of
city and country and city and town
pulling and tugging at cross purposes in
the matter of dates for these outdoor
and community festivals, which have
come to be characteristic of California
there shall hereafter be concert Of pur-
pose and action among the several com
munities so that there viii be no con-
fiict Of dates or interests.
1t is proposed that all cities, towns
and communities contemplating spring
their managerial boards meet early in
the winter and arrange a schedule Of
dates for the events that will In no re-
spect compete or operate In rivalry.
Of course this ought to be done. 1t is
simply childish and silly to have festival
dates conflict in a State climatically
blessed as is this. There is no sort Of
reason why they should work at cross
purposes, or why town and country and
metropolis and town should interfere
with each other In the matter. They
should agree upon non-confiicting dates.
and those SO widely separated that all
the people, IL they desire. may visit all
the festivals without too great rapidity
Of succession in movement by them
Mr.. Mills also suggested as the
thought Of the committee he represent
ed that the proposed concert of action
would lead to generous agreement on
the part of the different boards of man
agement to aid one another IN many
ways. Striking features at one festival
might be repeated at another, parapher-
MALTA used at one to g. considerable ex-
tent may be used at another without In
the least risking sameness. Thus econ
omy will be conserved and a generous
and helpful spirit be promoted among
the different communities.
That these propositions should emf
nate from San Francisco Is very graft
tying. That city has heretofore shown
very little or no regard for communities
outside OF It's immediate vicinity In
these matters 1t has usually fixed its
dates arbitrarily, and often unreason-
ably and stubbornly. for all sorts of
public affairs regardless Of the fact that
the act might cripple some interior
public assembly or fete that had date
precedence by pre-emption.
However, now that the metropolis
manifests the generous disposition in
dicated. It ought to be met cordially
and gladly by all the interior
and every effort made to make
California's spring and summer festi-
vals. carniyais. fetes and celebrations
harmonious. and thus conserve the in
terest of all the communities involved
and make the States annual festival
season still more conspicuous. attract
i've and inviting In the eyes Of tourists
and Of our own people.

FUSION.
Los Angeles Herald: Fusion for the

tifiable. The motive is selfish, the OBJ

riotic public purpose like that OF Sc
curing the free coinage of silver Is not
only permissible, but duty, and to
oppose fusion for that purpose is be-
trayal Of the cause of free silver and

The Republicans swept Vermont in
Tuesdays elections. There was the
largest majority secured in many years,
and the largest vote was polled that has
been written on the poll lists in a
quarter Of a century. OF course the ex-
trenlists and impracticables who are
exclaim that the Republicans carrying
Vermont is like the Dutch taking Hol-
land. But that will not do, since 1t
has been assiduously dinned into the
ears Of the people that great change
has been going on and that converts to
the new doctrine Of manufacturing
money are coming over by the ten thou
sands in all the States. Vermont Is an
agricultural State In greater degree
than any other New England communi-
ty, says Redheld Proctor. The farmers
predominate there-and, by the way, it
has been hard times under Democratic
administration for these same farmers.
But they are intelligent and have not
gone off half -crazed with the new fad.
They thought and voted for protection
and safe, reasonable financial policy
that recognizes both metals and pro-
poses to give the country, with protec-
ton, the largest possible circulation Of
silver money and assured prosperity.

display Of the ''boy orator of the
Platte" whom Mr. Foraker thinks Is
rightly styled, since the Platte is a
thousand miles long and sixteen
inches deep. But it was a practical,
eloquent and vigorous grafton, address
ing reason, appealing to no passions
and no prejudices, indulging in no vi
tuperation and arraying the people in
no classes. 1t was, in short, in striking
and brilliant contrast to the inflamma-
tory speeches Of which the opponents
Of the Republican party are now regu-
larly delivered. In short, Mr.. Mccall
has, judging from the published reports
Of his able address, set a pace for de-
cency in debate and decorouS argument
in the campaign, though we may rest
assured that the effect upon those Of
opposed views will be slight, since 1t
would seem that the moment one be-
comes an opponent of the Republican
party and a follower Of the Bryan
wagon, he becomes intolerant, unchar-
liable and vituperaive-a fact that we

1t may be surprise to many since
their ears have been SO filled with the
meanings of the calamityists, but 1T Is
nevertheless a fact that we are better
off to-day than we were in 1884, be-
cause ever since then the people of the
country have been discharging indebt-
edness. The debts Of the people Of
the country have been enormously re-
duced. So much fear Of panic as
result Of the free silver threat was en-
tertained that there has been good
deal of getting ready, and consequently
we have gravitated more nearly to a
cash level than in many years. Specu-
lation, in fact. has almost ceased. True,
investment outside of speculative en-
terprises has quite ceased also; we have
our bitter with our sweet; and so 1t is
that while the banking institutions are
loaded down with the money of the peo-
pie, and mainly, too, Of small money
owners, yet as these are the most tim
orous Of investors, and most likely to
make sudden call upon their agents, the
bankers, we have the fact before us
that the banks have been notifying
those they have been carrying to be
prepared to meet sudden call at any
moment. So we have 1t that the coun-
try is actually suffering from the pains
Of q panic which it has not. All Of
which Is the logical result Of the asita-
tor and calamity campaign that began
even before 1t took on tangible form
in the nomination Of a man by the
Democracy who in 'o2 voted for

present silver coming capacity Is about
Sac, 900, 900 a year. Can it be readily in
creased? Or would the Government is
sue certificates Of deposit for free sill
yer which would pass as money pending
coinage?
Again, what would be the action of a
number Of European countries in case
of our passage of a free silver Act? Can
any one predict? VIII they follow our
lead or stand out against us? No one
can say. They are perhaps as likely to
DO one as the other. Their action will
make decided difference In the result
of our experiment.
Some Of these questions are answer
able at least in a speculative way. But
whether 1t would be worth while to
answer them may be problematical. The
fact that such questions are being pro-
pounded indicates that perhaps there
may still be a chance for changes Of in
