FIFTH STREETS, SACRAMENTO
ROLLING MILL CLUB.
Listens to Addresses by G. T. Jones.
e. Phillips and Scott F. Ennis.

A meeting of the Rolling Mill Sound
Money Club was held at Pioneer Hall
last evening and was well attended 1t
was addressed by Charles T. Jones, En-
NETT Phillips and Scott F. Ennis.
Mr.. Jones went deep down into the
financial question in the course of his
remarks. To-day the owner of a sill
yer dollar could take it to the Govern
ment and get gold for it, and for that
reason and no other was 53 cents worth
of silver worth a dollar. The United
States Government was behind it. He
believed hemoney Of the country should
be left as it now is. With free coinage
all nations would bring their silver to
us, and in short time the gold would
be exhausted. Should Bryan be elected
protection would receive it's death blow,
and the labOrer be paid in 53-cent dol
lars, and what to-day is worth one
would then be worth two dollars.
When there is deprecated money
prices go UP. In Mexico one can get a
an American dollar, though the former
contains more silver than the latter.
Labor should be paid for in the best
money that could be had. Were Bryan
elected the banks would pay deposits in
deprecated silver. Insurance and pen
sions also, which now stand upon a
gold standard, would be paid in silver,
and misery would follow.
In conclusion, Mr.. Jones made a
strong appeal for those present to vote
for Grove L. Johnson for Congress and
the whole Republican ticket
Emmett Phillips and Scott F. Ennis
followed Mr.. Jones, and were we'll re-
ceived.

LOTS OF GOLD THERE.
More Said to be in the Transvaal Than
IS Now in Use in the World.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.-There is
more gold In the Transvaal field ready
to be mined than the amount now in use
throughout the world, according to
George F. Becker, the Chief Expert Of
the United States Geological Survey,
who has recently returned from Johan-
nesburg, where Investigations were in
progress at the time of Hammond's 8
trial. Most of the Americans, includ-
ing Hammond, had formerly been as
sistants or pupils Of DR.. Becker and in
a great measure his cablegrams to Sec
retary Olney insured impartial trials to
our citizens.
DR.. Becker declares that the primary
cause of the troubles in the Transvaal
was the lack of sympathy between the
extremely commercial industrial for
eigners or Uitlanders and the Beers.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

The Beers had made repeated and ex-
traordinary struggles for freedom from
English rule, and regarded the influx of
English to johannesburg as new and
insidious form of aggression. Their
distrust Of the English was excusable
only on historical grounds. The Eng
lish, he said, had not pursued policy
of deliberate oppression in South Al
rica, but they had made many blunders
with effects as bad as if their motive
had been evil
Gold production on the Rand. DR..
Becker says. began IN 1887. Since then
the town Of johannesburg has grown up
with 81 600 whites and as many colored
inhabitants, according to a census in
July. The number of Beers in the
Transvaal Is probably only 12o.OOO
souls. The laws Of the country did not
contemplate a large Industrial town,
and the Beers have been slow to adjust
their ideas to the needs Of such COM
munity. They dare not give the Uit-
landers the franchise, and their admin
istration of Johannesburg has been ex-
tremely faulty, giving rise to long
list of real grievances on the part OF
the Uitlanders. The grievances, how
ever, affect the capitalists far more
than the other foreigners, who really
have little to complain Of since they are
| much better off than in any other min
ing community in the world. The re-
formers laid no plot against the inde-
pendence of the republic, their idea be-
ing to frighten the administration into
| redress Of grievances, or at most to
substitute force for moral suasion. The
threat to raise the British flag caused a
shock among the foreigners, and Ham
mond Immediately took an oath of alle-
glance to the Government Had he
failed to take this step the treatment OF
| the foreigners would have been much
severer. The seven Americans took their
| punishment like American men, and
have done nothing to forfeit the re-
! spect of their countrymen. Quiet now
| reigns in the Transvaal, and DR.. Becker
| believes that the reforms demanded by
a sense Of justice will be granted,
! though the franchise will be withheld.
| The effect Of the disturbances, however,
| has been to draw together the Beers
| throughout South Africa and to ac-
| centuate race feeling.
