The record-union., 1896-10-05

of the ticket goes, it is highly import
ant for this district to be properly rep
resented in Congress. The voters can
not afford to send there an inexperi-
enced man at this time. Grove L. john
son should be returned to carry out the
work he has now we'll under way. He
is ranked in Washington as one of the
most able legislators there, and this
district should not suffer itself to be
represented by an untried man.
A BIG ONE.
Redwood City Times-Gazette: 1t is
row thought by prominent men
throughout the country that the defeat
Of Bryan will be as great as that of
Greeley in 1872. But if the sentiment
in favor of sound money and protec-
ton continues to grow as rapidly dur
ing the next four weeks as it has dur
ing the past month, the Greeley defeat
will be but a zephyr in comparison
with the cyclone of ballots that will
bury the Nebraska demagogue in No
vember.
TWO CLASSES.
Santa Cruz Sentinel Often wnen we
read Denlocratic-Populis newspapers
and listen to democratic
campaign orators, we are reminded OF
what we heard and read at the hands
Of socialists one Of whom spoke at the
Courthouse corner the other night.
He said that one mans time was as
valuable as anotherS, which must have
pleased the tramp, the loafer, the idler,
the unSkilled, the incompetent, the in
experienced, that the time of an Edi
son, the greatest genius of the age, a
benefactor of the human race, a man
who works sixteen hours day and has
work for twenty hours day, Is no
more valuable than the time of the man
who does nothing, or who cannot do
anything.
The speaker pointed to bank and
said: TT belongs to us. We have
earned it. 1t is ours" Had he said it
belonged to the people, but not in a
communistic or SOcialistic sense, he
would have told the truth. AS a fact
in round numbers, there are million
dollars loaned to the banks of Santa
Cruz, divided up among one thousand
five hundred depositOrs, one-fifth of our
entire population, a per capita division
of less than seventy dollars. These
fifteen hundred depoSitOrS are in the
creditor class, their deposits being the
results of industry, frugality, economy.
While others loitered they pushed on,
while others idled they toiled, where
others spent they saved, while others
enjoyed themselves they denied them
selves, and when they are enjoying
something on a rainy day, theorists who
demand a division every few days will
be a charge on the public and sustained
at public expense.
THE DUPLICITY OF DEMAGOGUES.
Humboldt Standard: There are a lot
of reuters going about the country and
bowling to the working man that he
must vote for himself. Just as if the
intelligent laboring man has not always
done his own thinking and voting for
himself.
The speaker at the Friday night meet
ing urged the worldngman to vote for
hinlself-to make himself better off by
voting for 53 cent dollars, and lie even
ceitful and wear Mckinley buttons to
please their employers, who may be Re-
publicans. This is the trick of dema-
gogue-it is essentially dishonest. In
this country no man who employs labor
tries to control the votes Of his en-
ployes. They are independent citizens
and will vote as they please.
Sound and honest money is more nee
essary to the labOring man than to any
other class of men. He is the most de-
fenseless victim of q deprecated and
