Tie american people is in the bone and
eineW of the producing classes, and the
actual wealth is in the possession of the
working classes. There isn't man in
the United States who doesn't know
ehat the prosperity of the country is
greatest when the wage-earners of the
country are most prosperous. What we
want is a restoration of employment.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
Iulare Register: Do you understand
how men can blind themselves to the
cause of our troubles when they see
millions of dollars worth of goods
brought into this country which our
own people should have made here?
Do you understand why people are so
anxious to try scheme which has
never worked to the advantage of any
nation noted in the annals of civiliza-
ton?
Do you understand why, in order to
carry through this scheme it is neces-
sary to appeal to the ignorance and
viciousneSS of the social undertOw?
Do you fully appreciate what is
meant when the beach-combers of po-
litfcal failure and political recklessness
drive from a great party practically all
the men who have made the organiza-
ton a party of force, of responsibility
and power?
A TWO-HEADED BID.
Oakland Tribune: According to the
Hartford ''Courant'' the Boston Iron
Bridge Company of that State has lately
contracted with the city Of Guadalajara
in Mexico for a market house. If built
in the United States, where gold is the
standard money, the price would be
S5.615. But as the pay is to be in Next
can dollars the contract is for Sl1 80.
A circular letter from the company calls
attention to the fact that if the free sill
Yer policy We're adopted here each of
these 81 $50 could be taken to the mint
and made into American dollars. In
deed, there'd be a few more, as the
Mexican dollar has the most silver.
CALIFORNIAN NATIONAL GUARD.
Los Angeles Times: DR." Castles
Populistic fling at the citizen soldiery of
the State should not be suffered to pass
unrebuked. The National Guard Of to-
day are the logical and legitimate sue
cessors of the intelligent and brave
young men of California who at the
outbreak of the civil war; left lucrative
employment to enter the ranks of the
old volunteers and fight for the good old
flag.
Then there was the California Hun
dred'' composed of 100 young men, the
very flower of CALIFORNIA; youth, who
made the voyage via. Panama to fight
in Virginia, and of whom a little hand
full of gray-haired veterans is now left.
The same unselfish spirit of loyalty to
the old flag of Fort McHenry, where
1.-The rockets red glare, the bombs burst
ing in air,
Gave proof thro the night that our flag
still there"
yet lives to quicken the steps and
nerve the arms of the descendants of
the brave men of 81. Most of the loyal
souls who rallied to the call for aid
thirty-five years ago have answered the
final roll-call of the Great Commander
who rules the universe and rewards
valor on earth with peace in the land
beyond the stars.
ION Fames eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And Glory guards, with solemn round,
The biVouac of the dead.
Their sons shall emulate the rude viz
tues of the heroic men who rallied at the
call of the immortal Lincoln to draw the
sword and bear aloft the flag that was
consecrated by memories of Washing
ton, Stark, Sumter, Jackson and Gro
CHAN. California need have no fear of
her young citizen soldiery. They are
firm of purpose and steadfast of faith.
Properly led, which they have not al
ways been, they shall live to be an honor
and a credit to the State, when Castle,
that petty politician and exponent of
party conceived in malice and born in
bigotry, who seeks to revile them, shall
have been swept by the ballots Of intel
ngent voters into the obscurity he so
richly deserves.
EXPLAIN.
MarvsviIle Appeal: Mr.. Bryan has
not vet satisfactorily explained why a
dollar that will buy as much as gold
dollar is too good for the pay of the
'toiling masses.
BAD FOR BUSINESS.
Stockton Independent: The "Ameri-
can Agriculturalist," a paper that has
never meddled with politics, although
fl is now In it's ffftyeighth volume, is
opposing the silver mania In editorial
clipping and communication its issue
of the Sd inst. fairly bristled with mat
ter showing that the free coinage move
nent is bad and dangerous 80 the bust

A BAD DOUBL"
San Jose Mercury: Some people may
imagine that nothing worse than free
trade could happen to this country, but
free trade and free silver combined
would multiply the disaster by two
INTOLERANCE AND ANARCHY.
