RIGHTS OF WOMEN.

II is particularly gratifying to observe
that local bodies of Republicans are rec
ognlzing the right of women TO share po-
litical privileges and responsibilities with
men. 1t is eminently fitting that the
party which represents the spirit of prog
ress moving the American people should
incline an attentive ear to this great
political problem, and show readi-
ness to break away from the practices
which perpetuate memories of time
when women were the slaves or servants
of men.
1t is eminently 10 the credit of the
Republican party of California that in
State Convention it adopted on June 20,
1894, resolution in its platform declaring:
believing that taxation without repre-
sentation is against the principles of the
Government, we favor the extension of the
right of suffrage to all citizens of the
United States, both men and women"
Back of that, and equally praiseworthy,
was this declaration by the California
State Republican Convention of 1872:
Among the many practical and sub
stantiai triumphs of the principles
achieved by the Republican party during
The San Francisco call., 1896-05-03
CALIFORNIA; OPPORTUNITY.

1t is not pleasant to think about. but it
Is nevertheless true that Liverpool is the
distributing point for California canned
goods that are destined for consumption
in China, Japan, India, Egypt, and, in
fact, throughout the entire Orient. The
absurdity of such an intercountry trade
route is apparent, if for no reason other
than the additional cost that the increase
in distance over what direct route places
upon shipments. And it must be remem-
bered that the difference between the cost
of transportation by the present round
about way and what the cost by COM
nonsense across-lots route, so to speak,
bic growers of California.
California should point her finger west
ward, and say with Thomas H. Benton,
There is the East; there is India" To
reach the markets of the far East Califor-
MAS products should travel westward and
not eastward; and, moreover. it is an ex-
hibition of commercial weakness to fill
orders from Asia and Africa for our pro-
duce by going directly eastward 5000 miles
to find men and ships to take our goods to
the points of destination; nevertheless,
that is exactly the way California's canned
goods are being handled. and by adhering
10 this trade contradiction we not only act
very unwisely, but we pay dearly for the
privilege of acting stupidly.
Now what is wanted is incessant agita-
ton of the question OF a subsidized mer-
chant marine until line of ships is per-
manentIy established between San Fran
cisco and the far East, via the west.
There is no sense at all in California look
ing to Liverpool or to any other COM
mercial center for facilities to reach her
customers in the Orient AS a business
proposition the far East should be reached
from California by ships sailing TO the
west. But it is not reasonable to suppo Sc
that & direct line of ships could, without
substantial encouragement from the Gov
ernment, successfully compete with Liver
pool subsidized ocean craft, and hence it is
that every Californian should make it his
business to keep the question of subsi-
died merchant marine prominently to
the front.
There is abundance of capital standing
ready to employ itself in shipbuiIding the
moment the General Government agrees
to do its part. With a strong merchant
marine San Francisco would soon become
TO the Orient what Liverpool now is. This
is California's opportunity.

life peculiar to California. 1t is not diff
cult to imagine that small farms, scientific
cultivation, the compactness of the rural
population, generous profits and pleas
ant climate which makes no drain upon
vital forces must produce distinctive quail
ties in the population. There must be
great sociability, mental attraction, sound
health and incitement to improvement in
all ways. There must be public halls for

With these must come churches, clubs,

THE PEOPLE VS.. WALL STREET.

Advocates Oh gold mOnOmetalllSm assert
that the reconciliation OF silver would
establish double standard of redemption
money, but their logic is as weak and
faulty as are their premises. There could
no more be double standard of money
by which TO measure values than there
could be double standard yardstick or
bushel basket to measure quantities. Like
the yardstick and the bushel basket re-
demption money has clearly defined and
amply authorized functions, which stand
immovable until changed by the authority
that created them.
To say that gold is the only metal that
can be used for redemption money is to
say that an inanimate lump of yellow
metal possesses inherent qualities that
enable 1t TO override the wisdom of man
and the demands of commerce. Gold
standard advocates forget that the reason
why 25S grains of gold OF certain fineness
are legal tender when converted into a
round and milled coin and stamped "ten
dollars by the machinery of the Mint is
because the fiat of the Government makes
them so, and not at all so because they pos
sess an authority by and of themselves
that is superior to the Government.
Money is not a thing, but a function
that is conferred upon something by gov
ernmental authority. This goldites ad-
mitted when they demonetized silver.
The mere act of demonetizing it was an
admission that its function as money had
been conferred upon it. Had silver an in
herent and personal value superior to the
conspirators, they could not have demon
etized it; but it has not--neither has gold
hence it was deprived of the function of
redemption money by precisely the same
governmental authority that previously
monetized it, and the same economic and
monetary principle applies to gold money.
The whole question at issue Is, there
fore, shall the function OF redemption
money be again conferred upon silver and
the condition of the great body of the citi-
zens OF the United States be improved and
strengthened, and the avenues of advance
ment be made wider and deeper, or shall
the influence of the money syndicates of
America and Europe prevail, and the
noses of 80 per cent of the people be kept
on the grindstone.of much labor and small
compensation? With silver remonetized
at the old true, tried and altogether salts
flying ratio of 16 to 1, the overwhelming
advantage which Wall street and its
greedy and selfish allies are now using to
pile up riches at the expense of the masses
would be broken, and untrammeled oppor-
tunity to freely participate in the currents
of money-making would be open to all.
There is no middle ground in this matter.
1t is the peoples welfare and the remone-
tization of silver, or goldbug plutocracy.
In short, il is the People VS.. Wall street.

sne past twelve years, we may enumerate
with pride and pleasure the prohibiting of
any State from abridging the privileges of
any citizen of the Republic, the declaring
OF the civil and political equality of every
citizen, and the establishing of all these
principles in the Federal Constitution by
amendments thereto as the permanent
law"
Later than all this is the resolution
adopted by the San Diego County Republi-
can Convention on April 13, 1896: "Re-
soived, That this convention cordially
laVors the proposed amendment to the
constitution OF California. whereby it is
sought TO extend the elective franchise to
all citizens, otherwise qualified, with
out distinction of sex, and we
hereby pledge to it our support
at the polls in the November general
election" Several other Republican
county conventions have passed similar
resolutions.
In pursuance of this well-defned policy,
iHE GALL earnestly recommends the fol-
lowing Tor adoption at the coming Repub-
hcan State Convention at Sacramento:
RESOLVED, That this convention heartily
inoorses the proposed eleventh amend
ment to the State Constitution of Cali
fornia to extend the suffrage to women on
equal terms with men,"
That is to say. THE CALL, desiring to
represent the progressive spirit of the age,
and believing it to be the duty and oppor-
tunlty OF the Republican party to assume
this position of advanced enlightenment,
urges that the value of women in politics
be recognized as equal to that which they
exercise in all the other affairs OF COM
munlty life, and, to this end, that they be
given suffrage equal to that enjoyed by
men. In order that the readers of this
paper may have an opportunity to study
an intelligent exposition of the women's
cause-which is the cause of all-the SER
vices OF Miss Ida Harper, whose able
communication appeared in last Sunday S
issue, have been enlisted, and communica-
tlons from her will appear from time to
time hereafter. The efforts of THE CALL
will not stop there. 1t will unreservedly
advocate the movement and promote by
every means in its power the early success
of this great reform, which has been
already too long delayed in so progressive
State as California.
