SOME PECULIAR METAPHORS.
Few Elecutionary Gems From Mr.
Bryan's Friends.
We L.. .,srAr,r Eoorf

Wash ington POST.
Shooting the chute from the sublime to the
ridiculous is becoming frequent with Mr.
Bryan's friends. The 'crown of thorns and
the cross of gold'' business opens up great pos
sibil1ties in that direction. He was alleader of
the Populists of Missouri, who concluded an
impassioned speech in the Sedalia Convention
with:
"You shall not thrust the dagger of suspicion
through the intervals in this crown of thorns." +"
The orator was repelling the einsinuation that
there was any danger of Tom Watson being
thrown by the Democrats in the proposed
fusion.
Mr.. Bryan having set the pace. his emotional
and sacrilegious use OF biblical metaphors and
illustrations. 1t was at the sedalia Conyentlon
that delegates cried out, "Amen! "Amen! "
to such declarations for political reform as ap-
pealed especially to them. One orator, some
what mixed as to his biblical recollectlons,
shouted at the close of his thrilling peroration:
81 tell you, brethren, the golden cali must
come down of his roost"
Another, in placing his candidate before the
convention, said:
Gentlemen, the man I am about to name
has withstood what is. in my opinion, the
strongest test of loyalty to Populism.. You re-
member the story of Job. You recall how he
was tried and tenn pied by the loss of friends
and of property. What was inflicted upon him
finally as the supreme test as the straw which
was to break his back ?"
"Boils," bawled delegate in rear seat.
mo, brother" said the speaker, "you're
wrong. It was when his wife turned against
him that Job was called upon to meet the
supreme test. Brethren, the candidate am
about to offer you has met the test of Job. He
is Populist, notwithst standing the opposition
OF his wife. His name is Oscar Woods OF

IS the standard of the value of labor. Re-
place Mexican labor by American, and
Mexican wages would at once be raised to
the American scale"
The theory that the productive capacity
is the standard of the value of labor is Sc
fallacious that even the janitor of the Re-
public building should know better than
to assert it. In 1855 the total exports OF
Japan amounted to $77, 100000 and in 1895
to $296, 200, ,000- The export trade in tex
tiles alone increased from $511 $3.50 in 1885
to $50, III, ,626 in 1895, but meanwhile the
standard of the value of labor--skiiled
labor-remained the same. That is to say,
textile mill wages between 1885 and 1896
remained an average of TIA sen per day
for males and sen per day for females.
The American dollar is the equivalent OF
180 sens. AS to the productive capacity OF
the Japanese, an eminent authority says:
1.-The japanese are gifted with powerful
eyes, hands and brains and the Americans
are terror-stricken at this. The cotton
spinners of Manchester are known to have
said that while the Anglo-Saxons had
passed through three generations before
they became clever and apt hands for the
spinning of cotton, the japanese have ac-
quired the necessary skill in this industry
in ten years. time and have now advanced
to stage where they surpass the Man
chester people in skill. The Japanese are
unrivaled in the world for cleverness and
their future is truly awe-inspiring to con-
template"
The official figures of the productive ca
pacity of japanese labor in the textile in
dustry show that production Of finished
product from 1889 to 1894, both years in
elusive. increased ten times over while the
demand for labor increased only tive
times over, and what is true of textiles is
true of all other industrial production.
AS we have said, during this period wages
were not advanced at all, but the cost OF
provisions-rice, sugar, tea and also fuel
increased very materially in price. 1t
would seem that just the reverse of what
the Republic says is true in Japan. and
what is true of Japan is true of every
country that is on silver monetary basis.
The theory that if Mexican labor wer g
replaced by American labor the American
scale of wages would prevail is too silly to
be seriously considered. If it is the skill
of labor that fixes wages the mechanics OF
| China and Japan should have the highest
| wages paid in the world for certain kinds
of labor; and since it is universally admit
ted that as whole the mechanics OF Eng
| land, France and Germany have no supe-
riors anywhere, they should have as high
| if not higher wages than are paid in
America. If the Republic means that the
mere fact of labor being American would
insure high wages it means then that
American labor would overthrow the
Government and establish one similar to
| that of the United States. The Republic
should know that the only thing under
the shining sun that keeps up the Ameri-
can scale of wages is protection against
cheap-labor countries.

EARNEST REPUBLICANS.

The mass-meeting held under the au-
spices of the Oakland Republican ALI
ance last Saturday night was SO successful
in point of numbers and enthusiasm that
its influence cannot help being felt else
where. It was not wild and boisterous
gathering, but rather an assemblage of
thoughtful men who grew in enthusiasm
as the speeches unfolded and held up to
view the importance of overthroWing the
dangers with which the Bryan following
are threatening the business situation.
It was the enthusiasm that is born of a
determination to protect the country from
wreck and ruin, and if the same spirit OF
patriotism which moved the multitude at
Oakland shall pervade the rank and file of
the party throughout the State, the cleo
toral vote OF California can be set in the
Mckinley column right now. 1t is not
often that one sees so much earnest
ness depicted on the faces OF
Oakland mass-meeting, but it is not often
that the commercial and industrial inter-
ests of the country are confronted by so
many threatening dangers. The feeling
was general that the salvation of the coun-
try is involved in the present struggle for
political supremacy, and hence every one
in that vast assembly felt that he had a
personal duty to perform in the approach
ing campaign.
California is. perhaps, more deeply in
terested in the election of Major Mckinley
than almost any other State. This COM
monwealth has vast resources which must
be developed to make ber great State.
There needs to be industrial plants all over
the State, and there needs to be close COM
mercial relations with other nations and a
well equipped and amply subsidized mer-
chant marine to facilitate international
and coastwise trade interchanges, but none
of these things can be hoped for unless
the Mckinley ticket is elected, for Bryan
stands committed to oppose whatever is
calculated to extend the commerce and
the industries of the United States. He
denies the right of California to have pro-
lection. against ruinous foreign competi-
ton.

COAST EXCHANGES.

Following the example set by Sacramento,
Fresno and other cities north of her. Los An
geles is about to harness the waters of the
river that has been running unbridled short
distance from her door, and convert the power
now going to waste into electrical energy.
The undertaking in this instance is the most
magnitudinous of the kind that has yet been
commenced in the southern part of the State,
and the Pasadena Nesos has this to say of it:
s'The plan OF the capitalists at the back of the
scheme is to tunnel through the mountains
back of Azusa and tap the San Gabriel River,
bringing the water across country to the
mouth of the canyon, where an immense cleo
trical plant, capable of generating 1000 horse
power, will be located.
'sThe matter was first taken under consid-
Grafton about four years ago. Some idea of
the magnitude of the undertaking may be re-
allied when it Is known that it will necessi-
tate something like 80, 600 feet of tunnels and
pipe, the latter to be fifty inches in diameter,
with carrying capacity of about 1000 inches
OF water. The company Is capitalized at $780,
600, and it is expected that this sum will be
used to complete the works 1t comprises such
well-known capitalists as w. G. Kerckhoff of

pany, ]. H. Shankland OF the law firm of
Graves, O'Melveny g. Shankland; A. c. Baleh,
recently of. Portland, Or, under whose charge
Azusa Ice and Cold Storage Company, and Mr..
Haas of the wholesale firm of Haas, Baruch
& Co.
sWhen questioned regarding the possible
effect upon irrigation, Mr.. Kerekhoff said that
it could not be otherwise than beneficial, as in
all probability the tunnels will increase the
supply OF water, besides doing away with
about nine or ten miles of seepage and evap-
Grafton, which must necessarily occur in the
bed of q river like the San Gabriel. AS the
water is to be turned back into the original
channel above the present place of diversion
tor irrigating purposes, there can be no possi-
BILE injury in this line
"The purpose for which the power is to be
used could not be ascer tanned, but there are
various conjectures. Some believe the i'm
mense electrical power is to be transmitted to
Pasadena and Los Angeles and applied to the
street railways, while others think the pro-
moters have road Of their own In contempia-
