WHY WE ARE HAPPY. /.

The Republicans were desirous Of
fignring this present campaign out uopn
the tariff issue. They believed that upon
that single issue alone they could carry
the country with ease.
1t was in fear of that unanswerable Is
sue that the Democracy swung so unan-
morlsly in some sect MS for the money
issue. The attempt to crowd the tariff
discussion to one side by the leaders in
me Chicago convention and the ready
compliance with that desire OH the part
of a majority of that convention was not
brought about by any conviction that un-
limited silver was the countrE's panacea
but by desire to force to the frant OF
the battle new issue. The tariff issue
must be strangled to death. There was
hope only in the chance of diverting pub
lie opinion from the shortcomings of the
present administration.
What has been the result? The Re-
publican party has refused to give up itS
faith in protection. 1t talks protection to-
day as faithfully as it ever did. On the
other hand, the Democratic convention
has driven more Democratic votes away
from the party by its stand on the nan
cial issue than it has attracted by bury
ing the tariff issue. The Republican
party has done just what the Democratic
party forced it to do. 1t has met the
money issue squarely and it has an
swered it to the CONSERVATION Of the Dem
ocracy. Leading Democrats all over
the nation have deserted to the Republi-
can columns. Disintegration has set in
in New York state. Modification is the
complaint in Illinois, and gangrene seems
to have affected the party in Ohio and
putrefaction is the result in Indiana. In
to,.t 70
the abcess of anarchy and reputation is
absolutely necessary, and even that
seems now to be too late to be of any
benefit.
The Republican party has not been
frightened into deserting the tariff policy
that has made it so successful nationally.
The credit is due to Major Mckinley
more than to any other single person. In
addition, it has met the financial issue
very squarely and discounted the enc

DOLLAR WHEAT AND WHEN WE
HAD 1T.

In this country the prosperity of the
farmer depends upon the prosperity OF
the other Industrial elements of our pop
ulation. When our Industrial classes ara
employed at American wages their con.
sumption of farm products is on lib
eral scale and they are both able and
willing to pay good prices for all the nee
essities and many of the luxuries of life
Under such conditions there is a good
market for everything the farmer has
for sale.
When the reverse is true, and the work.
ingmen are idle OF on short time and cut
wages, they are forced to practice ecenO
my and the farmer necessarily loses part
of his market and in. the keener competi
ton for the balance must lower his
prices. There is no partisanship in say.
ing that during the past twenty years
the periods of commercial activity and
general prosperity have been coincident
with Republican administration of the
government. The general policies of the
Democracy have always been considered
by business interests as inimical to the
commercial welfare of the country, and
whether that feeling is correct or not, the
periods of Democratic ascendency haye
been marked by keen business depres
sion. A large part of this feeling is no
doubt due to the hostility to the protec.
tive tariff principles of the Republicans
which always dominates the opposition
But in addition, there is always appre
hension Of radical legislation hostile ia
established business interests.
This fear of Democracy has always re-
stricted our manufacturing enterprises
whenever that party was in power, and
in that way has grievously affected our
farming interests. 1t is a matter of rec
ord that farm prices rule lower under
Democratic administrations, and this fact
is due to the disturbance of general bust
ness whenever that party wins.
If any one has not noted these facts, OF
is inclined to dispute their accuracy, let
him examine the following table of farm
prices of wheat. The figures are from
the annual report of the Secretary Of
Agriculture and show the average farm
price of wheat as reported by farmers

arranged into four-year periods, begin.
ming with the election of General Grant
in 1872. The currency prices from 1872
to 1879 have been reduced to the gold
basis:

products of our factories did not exceed
S., 600 100000 in 1864 falling off of
nearly one-half Since nearly 80 per
cent. of this amount represents the
earnings of labor, it will be seen how
seriously the masses of our people have
been affected by three years of re
form"
Every free trade prediction and
promise failed of fulfillment. The
markets of the world, which were 70
be ours, have taken two or three hum
dred millions less of our products than
they did in 1892. There is simply moth
ing in this free trade experiment but
trouble for our producers and for our
wOrkingmen. 1t has been truly said
that every blow at any product of Ia
Dor, whether it be coal, which gives
employment to the miner, or steel rails,
which keep puddIers at work, or wool,
which adds to the income of the farm
er, or cloth. which gives work 10 the
tailor, is direct blow to labor and tile
laborer.
Look to-day over the whole broad
field Of American industry, and what
do we find? A diminished production,
falling prices, increased foreign impor-
tations, and, as result, labor in dis
tress, out of work and starving. Look
where you may, it is the same. The
textile industries of New England, the
iron and steel districts of the Middle
States, the mines of the Northwest,
and the lumber camps along the Ca
madam border =. all give evidence OF
great distress. The cry is iterated and
reiterated: Open the mills and the
factories, start the furnaces, cut the
lumber, dig the ore! Give us employ
ment! 1t is work and wages, NOT the
lntricacies of the money question,
which interest these victims of three
years of reform"
Had the same rate of increase in
the number employed kept up, we
should now be giving work to million
or more additional hands, instead of
having that number out of q job.

BRYAN FOR FREE RIOT.

Attorney General Harmon is right.
The issue of superlative importance in
this campaign is that of social order,
the maintenance of constitutional law,
the protection of society against mob
violence. All other issues are of minor
consequence so long as this one re-
mains undecided. The tariff question
and the coinage question are merely
incidental. Our government can sur
vive the disasters of q mistaken finan-
cial policy, of a mistaken tariff policy.
But it could not long survive wrong
Interpretation of the constitution and
the law as regards the preservation of
peace and the projections of society
against mobocracy.
The issue is clearly drawn. Mr..
Bryan stands upon a platform which
in effect denounces the action of Pres
ident Cleveland in using the federal
power to suppress the insurrection of
1894. In his letter of acceptance Mr..
Bryan particularly emphasizes his in
dorsement of the anarchist plank of
the Chicago platform. It is of small
consequence that Mr.. Bryan wells his
real sentiments in smooth phrases ia
voring 'the enforcement of law and
the preservation of the public peace" !"
The monstrous theory which he at
tempts to defend, if carried to it's log
ical sequences, would rob the federal
government of the power to enforce
it's own laws; and this would be tanta-
mount to destroying the federal gov
ernment.
Stated In few words, the question
directly in issue is this: Has the ma
tional government right, when riot
ing is in progress in any part of the
| United States, and where both state
and United States are being violated
| and private and state property,
as well as federal property, is being
] destroyed, to use it's power and au-
thority to restore order, unless called
upon to do so by the authorities of the
state in which such rioting is in pro
gress? Must the national government
remain passive, unless invited by the
state government. through it's repre-
sentatiyeS, to aid in the restoration of
order?
The Chicago platform evades OF
seeks to evade this issue by denounc.
| ing arbitrary interference by federal
| authorities in local affairs" Mr. Bry.
| an also fails to meet the issue squarely
when in his letter of acceptance he de
/ clares that the United States sis not
| authorized to interfere in the domestic
affairs of any state except upon the
application of the executive when the
legislature cannot be convened" He
plainly Indicates, however, in the con
text of his letter, that if he was presi
dent, and an emergency should arise
like that of July, 1894, he would refuse

Price of Wheat.

Notice that under Grant, Hayes and
Arthur the farm price of wheat averaged
very nearly $1.00 Then follows four
years of Democracy, with the famous
Cleveland free trade message. the Mills
bill and commercial distrust of the future
and the average price of wheat for the
period dropped nearly 80 cents a bushel.
The Harrison administration. which fol-
lowed, brought forth the Mckinley tariff
law, opened old mills and built new ones.
and of the prosperity which followed the
farmer had his share, the average farm
price of wheat advancing to S2.5 cents.
The past four years need no introduction.
The situation of the country speaks for
itself. The Wilson law and the business
stagnation which followed it, the repeal
of the reciprocity treaties and the distrust
of the future which the silver agitation
has aroused have smitten the farmer
with heavy hand. The price of wheat
has again declined nearly. 80 cents and all
other products have kept it company.
The Democratic platform this year is
more radical, more reactionary than ever
and it's threats alone have been enough
to paralyZe all interests, the farmer suf-
fering as much as any one else.
The panic which would certainly follow
Mr.. Bryan's election would involve all in
terests and those financially weakest
would suffer the most. Instead of dollar
wheat, or even 50-cent wheat the only
market for time would be the market
under the sheriff's hammer.

CALIFORNIA; JUBILEE.
Every County in the State Invited TO
Participate.
Sacramento is Called Upon to Select One
Of Her Fairest Daughters to
Represent Her.

| Harry A. Greene, Commissioner at
| large for CALIFORNIA; Jubilee, dropped
into the Record Union" Office yester-
| day, being on a visit to this city to
promote the celebration of the substitu-
| tion of the American flag for that of
Mexico, which will be held at Monterey
next July, and in aid of which the
United States Government has ap-
propriated $4,000
An effort is being made to make the
semi-centennial celebration of the
American occupation of California the
grandest patriotic affair ever given on
| this coast. Monterey has been selected
as the proper place to hold the celebra-
tion, for it was there that Admiral
John D. Sloat raised the Stars and
Stripes July Z, 1916.
The National Government is taking
a lively interest, and the naval parade
and army maneuvers will be on an ex-
| tensive scale.
| The festivities will commence on July
4th next, and end with the 7th. Yacht
and horse racing, a Mexican picnic, FAM
dangoes, bull fights and other Mexi-
can sports are arranged for side shows,
everything to be free. The Sloat Mon
ument Association, formed some years
| since, will lay the cornerstone Of a
most imposing monument to the grand
old Admiral.
| The base of the monument is to be
composed of fifty-eight stones, two by
| four feet, supplied by each county in
the State, having the name of the coun-
| ty and date Of organization cut into
them. Each county will send a young
lady to represent the county.
| Mr. Greene is here in the interest of
the General Committee having charge
of arrangements, and has interviewed
many of our leading citizens and county
| officials regarding a plan to select a
| Goddess for Sacramento County, to
| carry banner or sash bearing the
name Of the county
! General opinion seems to favor the
idea that the Pioneers and Native Son
members should name candidates and
| regularly vote for them, the one chosen
| to be recommended to the Board of Su-
pervisors, who have full charge Of the
matter. The Supervisors prefer that
the name shall come from the people.
| 1t is to be hoped that the societies
named will take up the matter at once,
for it is desired that her name be for
warded to the committee as soon as
possible.
Many Of the counties have already
selected their "California," and have

ated in becoming and patriotic man

next year, why would it not be policy
to increase the road tax five cents and
still have a lower tax levy than was
usual. He further guaranteed all the
assistance in the matter the Commits
sioners of Highways could possibly
give.
SOLICITING COMMITTEES.
AT this point Chairman Burnham an
ncunced his committees as follows:
County-T. C. Perkins, John Studa-
rus, A. B. Humphrey, P. ]. Shields and
C. P. Cohn, to which, upon suggestion
Of Mr.. Irvine, was added the name OF
Mr.. Burnham himself
City-Frank Miller, c. A. Luhrs, j.
w. Wilson, George B. Katzenstein and
j. 0. Coleman.
agreed to take all subscriptions on a
coin basis, and that those who volun-
teered labor should stipulate the same
as expressed in dollars, and that the
expenditure Of the same be given into
the charge of the Bureau of Highway
Commissioners
John Studarus suggested that when
donations of labor were made the work
should be performed by the piece and
not by the day, and that the piece work
be also fixed by the Highway Commits
sioners. This also was agreed to.
MAUDE'S LAST ESTIMATE.
Commissioner Maude stated that he
had made an estimate of the cost of de-
livering material, and his estimate had
proven that rock could be delivered on
the road four miles from Folsom cheaper
by wagon than by rail- He had also
CVerhauled his former estimate and
| believed that the road could be built
the entire distance, 16 feet wide, for a
cost of SD, 900. BY the county stand
ing $4,000 of this. $4,000 must be
raised by subscription. His idea was
that subscriptions should be paid on
the installment plan-that is, equal por-
tions on the first of each month"; the
first to be made in July, the last in De-
cember. by which time the road would
have been completed
j. O. Coleman reported that nearly
$500 had been subscribed by two gen
tlemen present, and he did not doubt
but that it would grow.
THE THING TO SIGN.
In the meantime the following head
had been Drawn up for the subscription
list, and the committees did not hesitate
in saying that they expected to be
obliged to do very little hustling for the
amount required, as they believed citi-
zens would come to them instead of
| waiting to be hunted up.
THE undersigned Of the city and
county of Sacramento subscribe the
amounts set opposite their respective
names toward the amount necessary
for the construction of a macadamiZed
road from the city limits Of Sacra-
mento to the town Of Folsom, dis
tance of about twenty miles; this SUBJ
scription being conditional upon the
entire amount necessary being raised
No other business coming before it,
