THE STOCKTON FESTIVAL.

The civic as well as the State patriotism
of the people of Stockton has rou sed
them to more than ordinary energy and
enterprise in preparing for the entertain
ment of the Native Sons during the festi-
walls attending the annual celebration OF
Admission day. From all reports that
come to US it seems that Stockton intends
to Guido not only herself but all other
cities IN the splendor and extent of her
omplishment, and make the celebra-
ton this year the most brilliant IN the an
mails of California.
There is nothing unusual in the fact that
the people of Stockton are making an
effort to provide finer festival for Adm IS
sion day than has yet been seen in the
State. Every California community has
an aspiration to be record breaker. Each
one, when it undertakes an enterprise, en-
deavors to surpass all previous accom-
plishments in that direction. That Stock
ton, therefore, should make the effort is
only to put herself in line with her sister
cities. The unusual feature is that all
evidence points to the conclusion that her
efforts will result in degree of success
far beyond anything yet achieved. Each
Successive celebration has surpassed former
ones in some respect, but Stockton prom
Uses something that will surpass them in
all respects.
There are abundant reasons to justify
the most sanguine expectations of the
coming festival. For year past Stockton
has been the central city of California en-
terprise. New railroads have infused her
people with new hopes and stimulated her
trade with large amounts of money. What
the people of other localities have read
about those of Stockton have seen and felt.
For her the new era has already dawned
and her industrial and commercial activi.
ties have begun to manifest themselves in
many new directions. Her citizens, there
fore, are in humor to undertake things
in great way and to carry them out with
vigor and magnifcence. They feel cheer
full, buoyant, strong; sure of the present,
sanguine of the future, and as conse.
quence they work together with harmony
and an enthusiasm that ca mot fail to pro-
duce large results.
The celebration will be in fact some
thing like a festival in honor of new
| Stockton. 1t will be worth anybody's
time and money to make the trip to the
city atthat time, even if he cares little fol-
the fetes and entertainments of the Ma
tive Sons. Stockton is one of the local..
ties in the State where for the next ten
years investments are going to yield the
biggest profits and where capital and en-
| terprise will get their best rewards. The
youth OF California could not this yeal
hold their celebration in more appro
pirate place. They will see in the streets
of the city thousand evidences of tn.
advancing prosperity of the State and {
thousand proofs OF what can be accom-
plished in California by industry, energy

thing to make people accept such dollars
in payment for their commodities.
Were the people of the United States to
isolate themselves from other peoples 1T
would be a very easy matter for them to
stand for the unit of value, but it so hap
pens that round percentage of the grow
ing wealth of the country comes as the
result of our trade intercourse with the
people OF other countries. 1t is an old
saying that it takes two to make bargain,
and our experience in foreign markets
prove the truth of it. Mr.. Bryan holds
that We need not consult the people with
whom we do business concerning the kind
of money we issue and that they must
take it on our sayso without asking any
questions. If this Government is to take
that position it must accord other nations
the same right and our merchants should
not grumble if the merchants Of Mexico
insist upon paying their trade balances in
Mexican silver dollars, nor should oblec-
sion be raised against China's silver taels
or Japan's silver yens.
International commerce is carried on at
this time on the basis of the gold dollar,
and we have to conform to it or sever all
business relations with the outside world.
Mr.. Mckinley fully appreciates the value
to us of our foreign trade, and he would
not jeopardize it by an attempt to arbi-
trarily force other people to abandon their
own customs and adopt ours. He realizes
the Importance of increasing the Volume
of the money of all the commercial ma.
tons, and the leading statesmen and
financiers of practically all the nations are
in accord with his opinion on that ques-
ton. Now, in view of the intimate trade
relations between us and other nations,
and of the willingness of other nations to
cooperate, it is the purpose OF the Re-
publican party, through Mr.. Mckinley, to
assemble the nations in interest together
and agree upon basis for increasing their
volume of money in an amount exactly
equal to the worlds production of silver
in way that the silver dollar would Of
and by itself DE just as acceptable as a
gold dollar. When that is done, all the
nations would open their mlnts to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, and the
product of the minis would everywhere
have the same value, debt.paying and
purchasing power as held by gold dollar.
When that is accomplished the United
States would have bimetallism upon a
foundation that is the equal OF gold in
every way and in every particular.

A GAME OF DECEIT.

Ever since its organization the Demo
cratic party has advocated free interna-
tional trade and the single gold standard
for the Nations monetary system. Not q
prominent Democrat in all the history OF
the party ever advocated the double stand
ard, or bimetallism, until few years ago.
In 1877 Bland tried to change the policy
of the party on the silver cues ton, but
practically all the Democratic members OF
Congress voted against his bill. He then
compromised by accepting the Allison
Bland scheme. But Bland kept hammer
ing for the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver until his district, which was largely
Democratic, turned him down, and he is
still turned down.
1t was not until Bryan started out in
1898 as the champion of free silver that a
prominent Democrat undertook to make
bimetallism a National issue for that
party, and the reason why he did is very
plain. Bryan had made some reputation
in Congress by declaring, al am for free
wool" "a sugar bountyi is no better than
highway robbery" 81 want free trade
ment to raise money for its expenses by
income and excise taxes" Why did Mr..
Bryan so suddenly drop the tariff question
and champion free silver coinage? The
reason is plain. Early in its operation the
Wilson-Gorman tariff act demonstrated
that it would close every industrial plant
in the country and inaugurate such a
business panic as the people never before
were afflicted with, and Mr.. Bryan was
smart enough to see that it was necessary
to divert public attention from the effects
of his free-trade heresy, so he commenced
crying for free silver. But he did not shift
from the tariff to the money question I'M
til he had declared that all the distresses
that had come upon the country were at
tributabIe to Republican high tariff. !"
Now he says it was not the tariff, but the
characterization Of silver that caused hard
times.
Thus it will be seen the Democratic
party renounces and denounces all of its
traditions to cover up the iniquity of the
Wilson-Gormanf ree-trade act. The party
could not go before the country on the
tariff question, and so the young and am
bilious men of the organization TOOK up
BANDS old story, which was for silver
recommendation, and by repeating it over
and over again they hoped to make the
people forget it was the Democratic tariff
that had bankrupted them all. No one
has failed to observe that Bryan and all
other Democratic speakers avoid the tariff
question. It is not avoided, however, be-
cause they do not believe in free trade, but
to divert the attention of the people away
from it. There is not true bimetallist in
the Democratic party. Those who abb
stained from voting in the Chicago con-
vention were simply standing by the sim
gle gold standard traditions of the parry,
while those who followed the lead of Alt
geld proclaimed for silver monometallism.
But the purpose OF it all is to call atten-
ton from the disastrous working of the
Wilson-Gorman law and win upon new
issue. Their purpose, however, to revamp
the present tariff act upon lines that lead
to more complete free trade is as deter
mined as ever it was.
