INOENDIARY SPEECHES.

1t certainly is unfortunate for the peace
and dignity of the country that Mr.. Bryan
should employ such incendiary speech.
The people do not want to hear ANYTHING
of the kind, and he mistakes their temper
very much if he thinks they DO. There is
an element in every community that can
be relied upon to applaud any one who
makes "spicy Speech, but very many of
even that class would repudiate the
speaker if he were to ask them to commit
an overt act against law and order. Mr..
Bryan is sensible man, or is supposed to
be. but he shows very little judgment in
framing sentences when on the husting.

wIn." In the same harangue he SAID, III
is not for amusement that we are engaged
In this contest" 1t is not likely that very
many OF our people will take the man serl-
ously, but what will the people OF other
countries think about It.? 1t makes a
good deal of difference to us what tney
think. Our trade relations with otner
countries and the thousands OF mlilions OF
foreign money that is invested IN Ameri-
can industries and securities makes IL
highly important that we do nothing 10
cast suspicion upon our business lnleg-
rity. As cold blooded business proposi-
ton, based upon our own greed and sell
ishness, it is to our interest to do nothing
that would create doubt concerning the
stability of our institutions and the non
esty OF our purpose to keep our business
engagements.
As we have said, Mr.. Bryan cannot pro-
woke the people of the United States TO
make war upon one another, but The moral
influence his wild and foolish threats
exert is altogether bad; besides, they
create degree of restlessness in the minds
OF the people that is well calculated to
seriously hinder all commercial operations
and make people lose respect for them
selves. Of course Bryan does not want
war OF classes, and he knows that he is
talking through his hat, SO to speak, when
he warns his hearers that sit is going to
war;" but he knows, too, tnat he is light
ing the fires of hatred and sectionalism,
and that if he keeps it up long enough he
will at least cause a great deal of rioting.
1t is time Mr.. Bryan was thinking of
himself as something other than divinely
appointed agent to overturn the world.
He should try and make himself under
stand that he is an accidental candidate
of the Democratic party for President,
without the ghost of chance to be elected.

MKINLEY AND BIMETALLIsM.

1t is dishonest of the Bryanites to
charge Major Mckinley with being gold
standard man, for they know they do not
tell the truth. There never was a time
when Major Mckinley was not a bimet-
allist. No one can point to public utter
ance of Major Mckinley that could be in
terpreted to mean that he was Tor simple
gold standard monetary system, and when
he is charged with being an enemy of
silver he is grossly and wickedly misrep-
resented. In an address in August, 1891,
Major Mckinley said: "If we could have
an international ratio, which all the lead
ing nations of the world would adopt, and
the true relation be fixed between the two
metals, and all agree upon the quantity of
silver which should constitute a dollar,
then silver would be as free ana unlimited
in its privileges of coinage as gold is to-day.
But tina: we have not been able to secure,
and with the free and unlimited coinage
of silver adopted in the United States at
the present ratio, we would be still further
removed from any international agree
ment. We may never be able to secure it
if we enter upon the isolated coinage of
silver. The double standard implies
only be established by the concurrent law
of nations. 1t was the concurrent law of
nations that made the gold standard; it
will require the concurrent law of nations
to reinstate and sustain it"
In his letter accepting the nomination
of the Republican party for President
Major Mckinley says: 1.-THE Republican
party has not been and is not now opposed
to the use of silver money, as its record
abundantly shows. 1t has done all that
could be done for its increased use, with
safety and honor, by the United States
acting apart from other Governhents.
There are those who think that it has
already gone beyond the limit of financial
prudence. Surely we can go no further,
and we must not permit false lights to
lure us across the danger line.
1--WE have more silver in use than any
country in the world except India or
China-$500, ,00O0 600 more than Great Brit
ain, $3.50, 600 600 more than France, $780,
100000 more than Germany, $685., 200, 900
less than India and $i25, 600, 900 less thar
China. The Republican party has de-
clared in favor of any international agree
ment, and if elected President it will be
my duty to employ all proper means to
promote it.
"It is not proposed by the Republican
party to take from the circulating medium
of the country any of the silver we now
have. On the contrary it is proposed to
keep all of the silver money now in circu-
lation on parity with gold by maintain
ing the pledge of the Government that all
OF it shall be equal to gold
This has been the unbroken policy of
the Republican party since 1875. 1t has
lnaugurateu no new policy. 1t will keep
in circulation and as good as gold all of
the silver and paper money which are now

" THE SUNDAY GALL"

To-morrow's edition of The CALL will
contain many interesting and novel fea-
lures in the way OF reading matter and IL
lnstrations, aside from the regular daily
record OF all the news of the City, State,
Nation and world. Most OF the special
features will treat of California or San
Francisco topics and men, and all will at
least be written by the men and women of
this State. THE CALL is pre-eminently
the Pacific Coast newspaper, and prides
itself upon being not only great news
paper. but the family newspaper OF the
coast. While its features are attractive
and full of human interest they are yet
clean and wholesome. and there is also
particularly in the Sunday editions
large profusion of what may fittIngly be
styled the better class of literature. Good
literature is not necessarily dull reading.
as THE SUNDAY CALL readers know full
well. This will be found especially true
of the coming issue, as glance at but
partial list of the contents will show:

If the above quotations from Major Nc
Kinley's public utterances are not satisfy
ing then nothing that he could say would
satisfy, for words could not be employed
to show any clearer that he has been
a consistent bimetailist throughout has
public career. But it is not the purpose
OF the Bryanites to quote Major Mckinley
correctly. They want to misrepresent
him and weaken him with wage-earners,
but labor knows where he stands. 1t
knows he wants the industries OF the
country opened for the employment OF
labor first, and the mints opened to silver
when labor begins to earn wages.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
FOR BETTER TIMES.

THAT Is THE CRY OF THOSE WHO RALLY AROUND
BRYAN's STANDARD.
To the Editor of the San Francisco Cdll-SIR:
Four years ago the Populists were called
"calamity howlers" because they said the
times were bad: all parties now agree that
times are bad, and especially our Republican
orators, notably those VINO depicted our condi-
tion as Nat ion at the st. Louis Republican
convention. But times were bad enough four
years ago to induce the people to turn down
Mckinley, Harrison and the Republican party
and install Cleveland and Democratic Con-
gress to sustain him, that we might have
better times. Then the hard times were
laid to the Mckinley tariff and the people
voted to have the tariff reduced by the
Democracy; but IL was not done till after Con-
gress in extra session had repealed the silver

the great industry, of sheep husbandry, as ,UeH
as to the finished UOoLens of the miLt-spe
promise the most ample protection.
Contrast this declaration of the Repub-
lican platform with speech delivered
upon the floor of Congress on the Wilson,
German bill by w. j. Bryan, who said:
Speaking fer myself, it is immaterial, in
my Judgment, whether the sheep-grower
receives any benefit from the tariff or not.
Whether he does or does not, whether the
wool manufacturer collects a compensa-
tory duty from the consumer OF woolen
goods and pays it over to the wool-grower,
or collects it and keeps it himself, or
doesn't collect it at all and therefore does
not need it, am for free WOOL
On that occasion Mr.. Bryan not only
objected 10 a tariff on wool, but he OBJ
jected to the Wilson-Gorman bill through.
out, and said concerning it: 81 think the
duties all the way through this bill are
higher than necessary, and / favor the
bill not because of its perfection, not be-
cause the duties are brought down as low
as they might be, but because the bill is
infinitely better than the law which we
now have, and is step in the right direc-
tion.'
Mr.. Bryan can be relied upon from his
own testimony 10 fasten absolute free
trade upon the country if he is elected.
Why he should have so little interest in
the welfare OF American labor, and why
he should want foreign pauper labor to
supply this country with all the manu-
factured articles that are consumed by our
people is mystery. Is w. ]. Bryan an
American at heart? 1t does not look so.

wealth to that section.
The little town of Hueneme, the center of
many of the oil wells, is one of the heaviest
shipping points on all the Southern Pacifc's
line. In that town Mr.. Bard is interested in a
bank and in many other enterprises.
He has been in the City lately in connection
with the meeting of the Republican State Cen

watsonville Paiaronian.

Mexican dollars are quoted daily in San
Francisco at about sd cents. Two years ago
they were down to AT cents. The American
dollar is worth 100 cents to-day and was worth
it two years ago. 1t does not fuctuate, be-
cause it passes and is kept as the equal of the
gold dollar. 1t holds that value in Mexico as
against the dollar of that country, and yet the
Mexican dollar contains more silver.

Should Welcome Competition.

The peting railroad should receive fair

all the newspapers of this valley. The vital
import ance of the enterprise imperatively de-
mand such treatment. To give it less in any
