The San Francisco call., 1896-08-05

they are now calling him a heavy villain.
The workingmen of the country have
had enough of free trade and free rest and
now they will vote Tor protection and
work.
Finding that all business men are de-
serting the party the Democratic organs
have begun to denounce every man OF
properly as pIutocrat.
1t goes without saying that if German
gets his hands on the Democratic cam
paign funds it will be Doodle canvass for
the Maryland machine.
1t will not be long before California will
add to her world beating glories the big
gest sugar refinery on earth and the
profit OF it will be as great as the glory.
Every man interested in California in
dustries, and all who honor the men who
promote industry, will find no little salts
faction in voting for Claus Spreckels as a
Presidential eIector.
German is willing to handle the Demo-
cratic campaign provided he is permitted
to do it from back seat. He doesn't in
tend 20 put himself in front where there is
danger of getting hurt.
A nine-year-old boy has offered his SER
vices to the Republican National Commit
tee to DEBATE the money question with
Bryan, and now the campaign is certainly
in good shape to begin.
The campaign at one time threatened to
be very complicated, but it is now becom-
ing one of the simplest issues between
prosperity and disaster that we ever had
submitted to the people.
When the full meaning of the Chicago
platform is understood by the people there
will be hardly single State in the North
or the West that can be counted surely for
the man who stands on it.
The people know there was never any
trouble about maintaining the gold re-
serve in the National treasury so long as
we had Republican tariff to supply a
revenue to the Government.
a nation with a deficit revenue never
has good credit in the world, and that is
one of the reasons why capitalists have
exported gold from the United States dur
ing the Cleveland administration.
Business men of all parties are coming
together this year and Mckinley has the
satisfaction of knowing that not only does
he represent all the industries of the
country, bnt is being supported by
them all.
The men who are leaving the Demo-
cratic party are not all of them advocares
of the gold standard. Many are leaving it
because it stands for free trade and many
more because of the attack on the Su-
preme Court.
In many States the Populists have good
cause to be unhappy, but in North Caro-
lima they have soft snap, for both the
Republicans and the Democrats offer to
fuse with them on the electoral ticket, and
if they accept both offers they are bound
TO win no matter what happens.
A lesson for all Californians is to be
found in the proposed establishment of
the biggest sugar refinery in the world at
Monterey. To make that enterprise sue
cessful nothing is needed but protection
from the competition of foreign cheap
labor, and that will be assured by the cleo
ton of Mckinley.
