HE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
Good weather for shopping.
Don't forget something for the poor.
After all, the sweet of the season Is
charity.
This is no holiday season for San Pedro
and Santa Monica.
Make yourselves happy this week, for
next week comes the swear off.
The holiday adjournment has come and
Congress has not disturbed the peace yet. |
Cuba will not receive recognition in |
time for Christmas, but she will get it in |
the end.
In the next tariff law the principle of |
reciprocity will be as luminous as if printed |
in red letters.
One of the best ways to do the proper |
thing for the poor is to aid the work of the !
SaIVaEOn army
Spain might as we'll recognize that Cuba
is at any rate too independent to take any |
licking she can give.
If we patronize our small industries
they will soon become great ones, and all
OF US will profit by them.
While we are reforming things let US
reform the home market. Why should
We buy so many foreign goods?
Grover has Christmas ducks for every
body except the Cubans. and it looks as if
he intends to give them the goose.
The Cuban war talk in the Senate is suf-
ticiently lurid to prompt the Congressional
Record to get out colored supplement.
Our stores are bright with novelties and |
dainties from all parts of the world, b1.
none are better than those we produce at |
home.
The Christmas CALL will add to the |
pleasure of the day in every household. |
Leave orders for it for yourself and for |
your friends.
Protection sentiment in England is
growing rapidly, and before many years
are over free trade may be literally wiped
off the face of the earth.
The movement for reformed civil SER
vice in California brings the issue home
to US at q time when our homes are pre-
pared to receive it Hospitality.
The people, the sea captains and the in
oil GO bor rhOr
to that of Santa Monica. Now what will |
the Government commission do?
The success of the fair at Fresno is not |
to be measured by the money taken in at
the pavilion but by the wealth ii brings to |
the industries and trade of the great San |
Joaquin.
The increase in the Republican vote of |
the Southern States in 1895 over that of
1892 was more than 100000 The people |
down there have evidently protited by the |
depression to learn wisdom.
The reported discovery of gold ledge |
in one of the streets of the City need sur
prise nobody. There has been money |
enough sunk in every one of them to show
gold groupings all over town.
Oakland should not com plain if some OF
her people come to San Francisco to do |
their trading since SO many of our people |
go there to make their homes and pay |
taxes. There is always virtue in reci-
procity.
The suggestion of Judge McKenna for |
position in the Cabinet adds another 20
The list of good men proposed for the
-
for US if Mckinley cannot find one among
them to suit him.
IT is reported the Democrats of Con-
gress will not attempt to hold caucus
this winter unless ian exigency arises.'
There is hint in this for some mischief
maker to get in and raise an exigency just
to see the circus.
At recent meeting of the protection
lists in England one of the speakers said
1.-The only ruler under heaven who has
adopted the principles of the Golden
Club is the Sultan of Turkey" The
truth of the statement is beyond the
reach of denial and the argument is
welghty.
The war between the Havemeyer COM
bination and the Arbuckles will be a good
thing for the public breakfast table for
little while, but sooner or later the people
will have TO pay the cost of it. Sugar and
coffee cannot fight one another very long
without making raise from the pockets
of those who consume them.
NJ Meline, Prime Minister of France
recently told the Chamber of Deputies
that the only relief for the agricultural de-
preston is return to bimetallism, and it
would seem from this that we will have
strong ally in France when the Mckinley
administration starts out to bring about |
an international agreement on the subject |
Senator Sherman has very aptly refuted |
the opinion that the recognition of the |
independence of Cuba by this country
would lead to hostilities with Spain by |
