WHAT MADE HARD TIMES 2

What causes the hard times? There
were none under Harrison. The coun-
try was prosperous then in wonderful
degree, as it has been under all Re-
publican administrations since the war.
The trouble began when the tinkering
with the tariff to cut off reasonable pro-
lection commenced in '92, and when, by
the Wilson German bill in 1S93-94 and
the Bryan patching Of the revenue
schedules in that year, we began to
pay our money to foreign workmen TO
make for us what our own workers
should have made. From that hour
hard times have prevailed. How shall
we effect return to good times and
prosperity? BY restoring the right to
American industry to make for us what
we need that we can as well and better
buy at home. That is the main propo-
sition in this campaign-not free coin
age Of silver, which will be to individual
account, and not put a cent in any
pocket of labor, but will only enrich a
few silver syndicates.

JOHNSON'S EFFICIENCY.
Active In Advancing All the Interests
of His District.

(From the Stockton independently
Grove l.. Johnson should be re-elect-
ed to Congress because he has been re-
markably efficient during his first term
in advancing all the interests of his
district. He has begun the work of
securing for the State the payment of
its claim of $4,O0O,00O against the Gen
eral Government and has carried it so
far that success seems within reach
and should be sent back to complete it.
This amount will be boon to the tax
payers. and If new member is re-
turned, stranger to the work and a
member of the minority, he cannot
hope for success as Mr.. Johnson can.
The Sacramento Record Union" writ
ing on this subject, says:
For more than quarter Of a CEN
tury our congressman have wrestled
with this claim fruitlessly. 1t re-
manned for Congressman Johnson to
devise and start to success a plan of
getting the money; plan that has al
ready received the approval Of that
department of the Government that has
heretofore proved the insurmountable
obstacle in the path of success
Having this matter especially in
charge and well in hand, it should not
be committed to the care of new
member who cannot be expected to un-
derstand it as the author does and hence
cannot push it to as good advantage
This is but a special reason why Mr..
Johnson should be returned while the
general reasons are sufficient of them
selves to cause his reelection. He be-
0cl
licans, in giving to silver the largest
possible field Of usefulness and is per-
haps too radical on that subject for
many members Of the party. He is a
strong protectionist, well armed with
the knowledge and eloquence best cal
culated to promote these great re-
storers Of prosperity, protection and
reciprocity, and is a little in advance
Of his party platform on that part of
the protective principle which begins
at Castle Garden, and excludes the un-
worthy immigrant, whose coming de-
grades labor and is a threat to the
peace Of the country. These are pow
erful reasons why he should be re-
elected, and beside them are Others
These are his force Of character, cour-
age and well-known abilities, which ex-
torted from the House the respect and
attention that q member rarely re-
ceives during the first session after he
takes his seat. He is In every respect
the man whom the Second District
needs in Congress and should keep
there, for the longer he remains the
more useful he will become and the
greater will be his efficiency and the
respect for the people he represents
A district that changes its Representa-
tive at every election always fares i'll
in Congress, but one that returns the
same man for mnay years always fares
we'll. Maine Is proof of this, for her
members, who have been in Congress

lation than the delegation from al

Government, which would simply cause
the Government to lose the whole sum
and I'm common with the Congressional
ment that gives the Government abso-
lutte security and assurance for the full
payment of the debt by installments and
with interest, thus conserving the very
best interests of all the people, and saw
ing the Government a vast outlay to
clear off first mortgage Indebtedness.
The opposition therefore admits that
Mr.. Johnson has been a. model repre-
sentative; has done for the district more
than any frst-termer ever did; has
proved his legislative capacity, his un-
tiring industry and his all around use
fulness More than that, they admit
that his service to the whole State has
been of immeasurable benefit in putting
So, 100000 due to California from the
General Government. All other Con-
gresSmen have failed to even secure a
single advance step in that direction,
though the debt is over thirty years
old
We have sent agents to Washington at
great expense and petitioned and pro-
tested in vain. 1t remained for the
present Congressman from the Second
District to originate and put on the
road to success a plan to cover this great
sum of money into our treasury, and to
secure from the one department that has
all these years stood in the way ac-
acknowledgement of the justice of the claim
and the feasibility of the Johnson plan
for its collection. Shall we put a stop
to his efforts in that direction at this
stage?
SO then one thing and one only, and
the political campaign, is all the offend
ing the opposition can find IN his course.
Does the opposition in this matter ad-
dress business sense? Our Congress
man should be all the more commended
that he has had the courage to stand
for what the body of Congress and the
people of the nation believe to be
the right plan. But that has
nothing whatever to do with
the momentous question whether we
shall take the chances-since one vote
in either house may do it--of tying the
hands of President Mckinley, of putting
up Congress in antagonism to him and
Republican policy, of defeating protec-
tiop of Aua,ioap inIy1Str~ac aud wage
earners, and the restoration Of the era
of prosperity that has always accom-
panied Republican Administration.
The record-union., 1896-10-23
A FEASIBLE PLAN.

While the Republican party Is keep
ing its promise 10 promote interna-
tional agreement when it comes into the
seat Of authority and responsibility, it
viii be entirely within its province,
without at all conflicting with it's plat
all plans of financial benefit to the ma
ton.
For instance, 1t will be within the
lines of its policy to consider the prop
osiion to coin all silver of the Govern
ment into standard dollars, and declare
all silver coin Of the country legal ten
der to the extent of $50. At the same
time gold and paper based on gold
should be limited to denominations no
smaller than $50; for convenience of
handling, a silver note for $40 could be
in use for all domestic purposes, gold
would not be driven out Of the country,
and our silver currency. would be aug
mented in volume to about $3.50, ,OO0, 900.
Under such a plan gold would serve US
for commercial and foreign exchange
purposes, and the parity between the
two metals would be maintained easily.
There is nothing in the suggestion to
prevent the Government buying and
coming more silver than it has on hand,
if the needs of domestic traffic demand

would not be tolerable under that or
any other plan of disposing Of the sill

A PoINTLEss APPEAL TO sECEDE.

Nothing is dwelt upon more, or with
greater glee by the opposition than the
fact that the Republican Convention of
this State pronounced for free coinage,
and that a Republican Legislature of
California did the same thing. Those two
facts afforded Senator White no end Of
amusement the other night.
Just as much fun could be had on the
other side, for the Democratic National
Convention in 1892 declared that in it's
opinion the silver question could be best
settled by international agreement, or
some other unnamed means. That con-
vention never mentioned free coinage
members and rejected by the conven-
ton. To-day the same party is scoffing
at international agreement.
But the State Convention of the Re-
publican party, and a Republican Leg
islature did declare for free coinage
When, however, the Republican party
was in National council assembled, in it's
greater wisdom 1t declared the expert
ment proposed to be dangerous and full
Of peril, and after mature deliberation
and long debate it announced the wiser
thing to be, to promote international
agreement, and on that line the party
policy was fixed by the only authority
qualified to fix it. 1t is, then, simply a
question of method, and that is all there
is in it.
But the Democrats and Populists.
mistaking Republicans for fools, argue
that because the State Convention re-
solved as it did, and the National Con-
vention called a halt therefore Repub-
enemy and desert the party of progress,
protection and non-obstruction. For
that Republicans are appealed to to
abandon their party and combine with
| it's opponents to down and destroy 1t.
Did the free coinage Democrats leave
their party in '92 when it refused to ac-
cede to the requests Of more than one
| Democratic delegation; when 1t flatly
refused to put free coinage into the Ma
tional platform, and voted down the free
apology?
The Republican party Is birnetallist
PARTY. It is not the enemy Of silver. It
is not a monometallic party. It is not
the party of trusts or syndicates, silver
or gold 1t is not the party of class or
clique, but OF all the people. and Of the
whole nation. It is. as 1t always has

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

The Bureau Of Labor Statistics OF
Massachusetts in 1895 officially report
cd that the effect of striking down pro-
lection was felt in all the important in
dustries. In the single year '94, in
which the Wilson bill was enacted, $13,-
000,0 were withdrawn from the in
dustries of Massachusetts alone and
business suffered accordingly along all
lines. Between 1893 and 1895, says the
official report, the product Of Massa-
chusetts' industries decreased nearly
$57. 900, 900, or almost 10 per cent. Of the
total production. But Bryan, the free
trader, says free coinage will cure all
that. At least. he says. that Is our be-
lief" Well, the people prefer fact to
belief. The Republican party does not
deal in promises. It points to it's past,
and shows what has been under fair
protection; it advances no belief about
1t, because facts speak with greater
emphasis than theories.

Mr.. Bryan said in Congressional
committeeman Congressman Boutelle
vouches for it-that the wage-earner
who demands a protective tariff is "a
public beggar," and the manufacturer
who asks for one is "a robber" AS
wage-earners and manufacturers are
very closely related, how do they like
the terms applied to them?
The record-union., 1896-10-23

The free coinage radicals, free coin
age to individual account, still talk
about the insufficiency of money. The
treasury reports show beyond all ques-
as much as anywhere in the world,
there is more money IN circulation in
the United States and among the peo-
pie now than ever before We have
more silver now than ever before. In
fact, the volume Of money has not de-
creased in any civilized country in the
last thirty years that has not run off
after some theoretical fad.
The record-union., 1896-10-23

Mr.. Bryan has ceased claiming that
free coinage Of silver at 16 to 1 will serve
to protect American industries. He con-
cedes by abandoning that idea, that he
was on the wrong tack in the first advo-
cacy. AS yet not the most accomplished
Of silver advocates has been able to
show that free coinage will protect our
industries from unwholesome foreign
competition.
