THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
PATRIOTISM, PROTECTION
and PROSPERITY.
FOR PRESIDENT
WILLIAM Mckinley, Of Ohio
FOR ICg-PRESIDENT-
=. GARRET A. HOBART, Of New Jersey
ELECTION NOVEMBER ,. 1896.
The most pressing money question is
that OF wages for the people and revenue
for the Government.
Wandering Willie must have gone to
New England for his health. There are
no votes for hfm there.
There can be no question that Organism
is rapidly dying out in California. The
campaign of education has given the
people fair understanding of the situ-
atiop..
: We must restore the protective system
before we undertake any other legislation.
The labor of this country has already
waited too long for return of work and
wages.
The people of San Francisco cannot af-
ford to make experiments in the Mayors
.office, and will, therefore, vote for Super
visor Taylor, whom they have tried and
found equal to every test of official
Service.
Mckinley talks of patriotism and the
general welfare, while Bryan talks of sec
tionalism and the strife of classes, and it
is for the people to decide which kind of
talk is most appropriate in q man who
desires to be President
When the people know that distrust,
panic and industrial disturbance began
with the election of a free-trade Congress
and q free-trade President it is Impossible
for Democratic orators TO get them to be-
Iieve that free trade had nothing to do
with it.
If those European dukes and counts
who telegraphed congratulations to Bryan
were really sincere in the belief that free
silver coinage would be beneficial to the
country that undertook it they would try
1t at home and get the benefit for their
own people.
Men who wish work, men who wish bet.
ter wages, men who wish profits on their
industry are all interested in the tariff,
and that issue, therefore, despite all tbs
Democratic dodgers may do, will remain
in the hands of the people as one of the
most important to be decided at the
coming election.
The workingmen OF this country will
never vote for man who seeks the Presi-
dency by trying to array one section
against another or one class of citizens
against another. They, like all patriots,
are in favor of President who will act for
the welfare of the whole country and of
all the people.
The workingmen of this country know
by experience that a restoration OF the
protective system will open the mills and
give them good wages, but they cannot
see any benefit in free trade and Tree sill
yer, and what is more. Bryan in all his
speeches has never explained how there
could be such benefits.
James d. Phelan is an excellent man in
private life, but he has never been tried in
office like Charles i. Taylor, and no one
knows how far his official action will
be controlled by the men who nominated
him. Besides, what could he do with a
Board OF Supervisors nominated and con-
trolled, as it will be. by Boss RaineyP
Republicans have reason to be gratiied
with the way the State Central Commit
Tee has managed the condnct of the cam
paign. Under the guidance of Chairman
Mclaughlin the canvass has been carried
on with vigor and earnestness and the party
organization made more effective than
ever before. We may count California for
Mckinley.
The exports of American products and
manufactures during the first fifteen
months. of the German tariff were $220,-
5000 less than the exports under the
like period of the operation of the McKin-
ley tariff and as this loss of trade CORE
sponded with the opening OF our markets
TO foreign goods is it any wonder that
times became hard and money ceased to
cireulate2
The people of Galesburg, ILL.,, have ar
ranged for great meeting on October z to
commemorate the anniversary of the
famous Lincoln and Douglas debate at
, that place. and while it is intended to be a
non-paftisan gathering we may be sure it
will prove stimulus to Republicanism
and to Democracy of the Douglas type,
but very depressing to the Bryanites who
may happen to attend it
One of the notable features OF the cam
paign is the wide difference between the
two parties in respect to able orators. On
the Republican side there are now in the
field, in addition to Mckinley, ex-Presi-
dent Harrison, Senators Sherman, ALI
son and Foraker, Thurston. Tom Reed,
Chauncey Depew, Carl Schurz and Bourke
Cochran, while on the Democratic side
there arc only Bryan and Teller.
