PROTECT THE LABORER.
Alameda Encinal: These words from
Hon. William Mckinley, the Republican
Presidential nominee, will have per-
suasive power With the laboring masses
of the United States when our toilers
| approach the polls at the November
elections: mo worthy American wants
to reduce the price of labor in the United
| States. 1t ought not to be reduced; fol
the sake of the laborer and his family
and the good of society it ought to be
maintained. To increase it would be in
better harmony with the public sense
Our labor must not be debased, nor ou1
laborers degraded to the level of slaves
nor any Federal officials therein, and
representation in Congress for Alaska;
sympathizes with all legitimate efforts
| to lessen and prevent the evils of lntenl-
perance and promote morality; is mind
| ful of the rights of women and favors
| their admission to wider spheres of use
fulness, and welcomes their cooperation
| in rescuing the country from Demo
cratic and Populist misrule and man
agement."

Richards Citograph: The agony is
over. The Republicans at St. Louis, in
convention assembled, have placed be-
fore the American people as candidates
for President and ce-President Ma
jor William Mckinley of Ohio and Gar
rett A. Hobart of New Jersey. The re-
suit, so far as President was concerned.
was foretold long ago. Mr.. Mckinley
stands as the apostle of protection. The
people long ago became tired of 'ttar-
| if for revenue only" as eXDounded by
the Democracy, and proved an utter
| failure by trial. They have determined
to go back to the days Of prosperity.
They will no longer foster foreign man
ufactories and foreign workmen. The
American doctrine of protection is
once more to be the law of the
land. And protection will be the
rallying cry for the campaign.
BIMETALLIC POWER.
Los Angeles Express: At most the
silver Republicans cannot hope to Sc
cure more than thirty or thirty five
electoral votes, judging by the vote of
the States in the Committee on Plat
form and the convention, and there
fore bimetallism could only be carried
possibly by a union of those States
with the South under the Democratic
banner. But that entails the sacri-
flee of protection; it means an increase
IN the national debt from a deficit in
the national revenues; it means a weak
and pusillanimous foreign policy; for,
be 1t remembered, that even here in Los
Angeles the Democracy indOrsed the
hauling down of the American flag at
Honolulu. 1t entails also a policy op-
posed to reciprocity and to the extern
sion Of our shipping interests, and it is
a question over which thoughtful Amer
leans cannot long hesitate whether it
be better to sacrifice all those consid-
erations for the single proposition of
blmetallism, when they can all be Sc
cured and bimetallism be secured also
by the election of a Congress pledged to
b1metallism- The bimetallists have the
Senate now, and if they stand together
Trey can force recognition. The ma
tonai platform does not prevent Cali
Iornlans, for instance, insisting that
their Senators and Congressman should
stand pledged to silver and bimetal

M M'KINLEY AND PROTECTION"
Santa Cruz Sentinel: This is to be the
Republican battle cry in the approach
ing campaign. The immense majority
by which he was nominated shows that
Mr.. Mckinley is the popular favorite
OF the Republican party Ever since
he was elected Governor of Ohio nv an
almost unprecedented majority, Just
after what the free trade Democracy
poasted was a national reputation of
Inc tariff law bearing his name. Mr.
Mckinley has been the logical Renuh-
mean candidate for the first place in the
hatlon. That majority was not only
ohlos tribute to him as a man and a
statesman, but her enthusiastic in
dorsement OF the Republican doctrine
OF protection to American industries
ana American labor. The union of his
name with this doctrine in the partv,s
history, and the success resulting from,
such union in Ohio, fixed William Nc.
kinley in the eye and hearts of Ranub-
means all over the country, and from
.hat tlfne the Endorsement which he ha,
just received at ST. Louis has been q
lofegone conclusion. The Republicans
VINO nave heretofore shown .uch faith
IN MN VIII show the same faith by their
votes next November

the standard bearer Of the Republican
Party IN the coming campaign. is not
the nominee of any ring or clique. b,1t

t'ons; IS a poor man, an old soldier and

CALAMITY SHRIEKERS.
III Dorado Democrat: The political
Pick -Me-Ups are all calamity shriekers
rom now until election they will paint
ana scream like a lot of squaws at a
Piegan funeral
SOWING THE WIND.
Antioch Ledger: The present genera
ton is not ripe for mob rule and revo-
luton, but beware of the coming. Tt has
received its lessons in lawlessness. The
youth is watching the course of events
ana when ne grows TO manhood it will
lot be so difficult to encourage him To
act. He sees that q mighty monarch
OF papers is applauded for encourasi
the mob, and he marvels that the mob
besitates. No doubt the youmgster has
deserTnined that whens he grows
UP to be one of the mob that he will
take advantage of his opportunities.
When he Is one of the mob he will not
hesitate; but he will act so that he will
receive the applause of the monarch
