were present when the meeting was
called to order at o'clock by First Vice
President c. F. Harris. After the re-
port of the secretary and the various
committees. the first speaker. o. T. Eel
lows, was introduced. He took for his
subject the Republican platform, and
in the clause on the tariff and reciproc-
ity showed whereby the tariff proposed
to protect American products and recip-
rocity proposed to throw them in compe-
tition with like products of foreign coun-
tries.
Coming to the money question he de-
clared it to be the meat of the cocoanut.
Here he cited Bryan's remarks on the

q good thing. why change it, and 1t
it Is bad thing, why continue it?" He
concluded with an original poem, eulo-
gizing Bryan and the cause of free sill

in which he called attention to two
speeches of Mr.. McKinley's. In one he
stated that the foreigner paid the tax
and in the other he declared that the
consumer paid it. Upon concluding he in
troduced the speaker of the evening Mr..
Larkin of South Pasadena. Mr.. Larkin
proceeded to define the position of the
two great political parties in relation to
their standing with the money power of
the world. He pointed out that in the
demonstration of silver the means of
circulating money. were taken from
those who produced it and given to the
bankers, who issued bank notes at a
great profit to themselves. He quoted
from an article in the London Financial
News of March 10th, wherein it is stated
that the free coinage of silver by the
United States would have a baleful eff
feet upon the money power of England,
would force gold from its throne of
power into competition with silver, and
instead of its becoming scarcer 1t would
emerge from it's hiding places and enter
the channels of business. and the free
coinage of silver would cut off the trade
South America and China and throw 1t
to the manufacturers of the United
States. The speaker referred to an ar
ticle of Mr.. Bryans in the February
number of the Arena of 1895 proving that
the present administration was in di-
rect opposition on the money question
TO the views of Thomas jefferson, the
first great Democratic president. His
speech was received with much ap-
plauSe.
