BRYAN'S EVASIONS AND HIS
RECORD.

Bryan has persistently refused to answer
questions concerning the tariff. When
questioned he has replied only that the
money issue is the matter of supreme i'm
portance in the campaign. In making
such replies the intent to evade his ques-
toner is too apparent to deceive any one.
Even If we concede the superior I'm port
ance OF the financial issue it will remain
true that the industrial issue is one which
concerns every citizen. No man has
right to seek the votes of the people who
has not the courage or the candor to speak
clearly on matter of such moment to the
Nation.
Ii Bryan will not speak surely some of
his supporters will have the manhood to
speak for themselves. Are we to under
stand that they are supporting Bryan on
his Congressional record as free-trader.

AFFAIRS IN TURKEY.

The Gladstone speech at Liverpool was
powerful plea for the right, and no
doubt 1t will be the means of pushing
the British Ministry to taking more de-
cisive action in affording protection to
the Armenians against Turkish cruelty.
Nevertheless it must not be forgotten that
it was not Premier but Citizen Gladstone
who was talking, and there is a vast differ
ence between one in authority and one
having no authority in England when it
comes to a public policy. 1t may be as
Mr.. Gladstone says. that there would be
no danger of serious protest from any
Christian nation were England to under
take to set Turkey right on her own ac-
count, and no doubt public sentiment in
all Christian countries would give the
Queens Government plenty OF moral sup
port, but Salisbury knows that war with
Turkey might lead to the disme m berment
of the British empire itself.
1t might be, as Mr.. Gladstone says, that
no European war would follow British in
reference in Turkey. but that Is not all
Salisbury has to take into consideration.
Probably 250,0O0. 900 of the inhabitants OF
the British empire are non-Christian.
that is, they have a religious faith quite
different from that which prevails in Eng
land; besides, not far from 100, 600, 900
of England's subjects and allies in Asia
and Africa are Mussulmen, and hence are
IN close touch with the majority of the
Sultan's subjects in the matter of religious
faith. Just where these Mohammedan
subjects of Great Britain would be found
were the Porte to declare British interfer
ence war upon Mohammedanism is a
question that requires careful considera-
tion, and it would make any Premier con-
seryative.
That the Armenians are being treated
with great cruelty there is no doubt, but
II Is mistake TO suppose them to be an
ignorant and always submissive people.
Inc Armenians are the commercial men,
the bankers and the managers of nearly
all great business enterprises in the Porte's 8

ior generations and they are quite capable
al doing 1t. They are an aggressive peo-
pie, but always on lines that lead to
greater business expansion. and hence
when people suppose that Turkey is deal
ing with poor, ignorant and superstitious
subjects they are very much mistaken.
mat however, gives the Turks no right
10 make killing Armenians holiday sport.

ECONOMISTS FOR SOUND MONEY,

1t is shown in the columns of to.day's
CALL that the great majority of recog-
nized professors of political economy in
the leading colleges of the United States
are unalterably opposed to the free coin
age of silver. Over their own signatures,
in fep.y to direct inquiry on the present
issue, these men of science state that the
Bryan idea of finance would result in
bankruptcy and general ruin.
These replies come from the leading
men of such institutions as Yale, Vassar,
Princeton, Bowdoin, Johns Hopkins and
Ann Arbor, and its conclusions are the
sober verdict of men skilled in economics,
some of them men of divide repu-
tation.
The letters, on the whole, are the most
valuable data of their kind yet furnished
in the campaign, and we commend them
to our readers. No one should overlook
them. A few professors here and there
may be induced to contribute to the So
called "silver editions of Bryan organs,
but all such editions put together would
contain no such array of scholarly names
as those which appear in this symposium.

LINING UP FOR THE OOUNTRY'S
GOOD,

In the course of a speech to visiting
delegation from number of Grand Army
posts the other day Major Mckinley said:
You were good citizens before you went to
the war; you were good soldiers in the war; ;
you have been good citizens ever since, stand
Ing by the same old flag. You were patriots
them you are patriots now. You know no
politics in your Grand Army posts. But you
know patriotism when you see it.
General Sickles "a Democrat), General
Sigel "a Democrat) and a veritable grand
army of other Democrats are upon the
stump urging their old-time comrades to
fall in line in defense of the business in
terests of the country. There is no poll
tics in the efforts of these old soldiers to
secure the election of Major Mckinley.
Any other man, whether he was an ex-
so ldier or not, would suit them just as
well if he stood for the honor and pros
perity of the country. No doubt the
Bryanites will charge that the 6. A. R. is
being made party machine to help elect
Major Mckinley, but these same old
soldiers, Republicans and Democrats,
were charged with being "partisans" in
1861, and the charge did not hurt them a
bit.
1t is very true that the cause of protec-
ton and prosperity, good money and
government under law, which old SOL
diers are lining up for in 1885, is not Just
such cause as they went to the front
to battle for in 1861, but principles of
government are being advocated in 1896
which would, if put in practical opera
ton, be as hurtful 10 the spirit of our in
stitutions as would those theories which
they went forth and battled against in
1861. Then it was the life of the Nation,
and now it is the integrity and good
name of the Nation. In 1861 the lines OF
separation and contention were defined by
sectionalism, and in 1896 they are defined
by the boundaries of the Nation, and every
industry, enterprise and individual is in
volved. This old soldiers see and know,
ana hence it is that they are marching to
the defense OF the wealth-making agencies
of the Nation whose life they saved a
third of a century ago.
IT this were campaign drawn on party
lines General Sickles and Sigel and the
hosts of other Democrats who are now
under the banner of Major Mckinley
would be found in their old political
camp; but they see that the issues which
the Bryans and the Altgelds and the Till
mans have forced upon the country are no
more political in their character and pur-
pose than were the issues in 1861. In no mar
row sense is Major Mckinley soldier can
didate. He is candidate who stands for
those principles of government which de-
mand such conditions of existence for all
the people as shall be most conducive
to their material and social ADVANTAGE
Naturally, the soldiers of the war of 1861
Republicans and Democrats-line them
selves up on the side of issues whose
purpose is to defend the honor of the
Nation and give greater opportunity to
the people to profit by the employment of
their brain and Drawn and energy. 1t is
not "soldierism" that sends the veteran
soldiers to the support of Major Mex nley,
but it is the highest and truest patriotism,
because it is for the good of all the people.

A GREAT SPEECH.

The call of a delegation of employees of
the Marion (Ind.) Glass Works upon
Major Mckinley last Friday might look
''like rubbing it in" but it did not turn
out that way. The Marion factory was
originally Canton industry, but the
owners moved it to Marion, where they
could get natural gas, and the comm, of
the operatives was a reminder to Major
Mckinley and the other people of Canton
OF their loss. Major Mckinley referred to
the removal of the factory, and after ex-
pressing regrets said: "However, it did
not go out of our country. 1t went into a
neigh boring State, and therefore benefits
the American family; American workmen
still do the work. We share in your good
fortune and prosperity, but we would
have felt differently if it had gone on the
other side and out of the United States"
Those few words from Major Mckinley
reflect more of the spirit of true Ameri-
canism than all that Bryan has ever said
and written. Naturally he would rather
have the glass works in his own town,
where they were first located, but the
next best thing was to have them
remain in the United States, for
wherever they might be located in
this country all the people would partici-
pate in the good accruing from them, for
every home industry helps to swell the
grand total of the Nations prosperity.
Major Mckinley is too big statesman
and too much of a patriot to harbor
thought that could be twisted into mean
ing sectionalism. He rejoices in the pros
perity OF every corner of this broad land
and in the accumulation of property bv
every American citizen. The more the
people come to know Major Mckinney the
more they like him. They like him for
his lofty and sincere Americanism
Candidate Bryan would do we'll to read
and profit by the short talk Major Nc
Kinley had with the Marion Glass Works
operatives. But he will do nothing of the
kind. His stock in trade is sectionalism.
and his chief business in life is to go about
the country to set employe against en-
ployer and neigh Dor against neighbor He
Is professional agitator and agitation is
his bread and meat, but his speeches are
educating the people in his methods and
purpose, and later on they will explain to
him through the ballot-b box how intensely
they abhor Bryanism.

INCONSISTENCIES EXPOSED
Napa Register.


THE CALL devotes considerable space to the
showing up of Millionaire Hearst's free coinage
record, and in doing so quotes freely from the
Examiner of dates not very far back. Here is
sample paragraph. 1t shows how strongly the
Examiner was against free coinage June 81,
1895:
The free coinage OF silver under proper inter-
national agreement would help our trade with all
the world, but Tree coinage by this country alone
unless II succeeded in bringing both metals 10 a
parity, which would hardly be possible, would
certainly iniure our commerce with countries
having the gold andard We see the same effect
now in countries that are silver basis. The
fluctuations in the price Of silver disturb inter-
national exchange as o make trade between gold
and silver using countries partake of the nature
gamble. All the profits of transaction may be
wiped out by change in the silver mark t, or, on
the other hand, they may be doubled. This is a
dIscouragement 10 legitimate commerce and tends
TO put trade in the hanIs OF spectators.
The San Francisco call., 1896-09-27

hold to that doctrine? Will he go still
further in the direction OF free trade? Has
he learned anything from the result of
that bill? Is there DO one to answer for
him?
There are sol Californians who have
declared for Bryan, and we put the ques-
ton to them; Are you for further reduc-
ton in tariff duties? Do you believe in
the face of the present and increasing de-
ficit of the revenue that it would be best to
lower customs duties and make up the de-
fioit By an income tax? Do you believe
that while we are importing wooden goods
from England and rs per cent of wooleu
machinery is idle it would be good thing
to still further reduce duties on wooden
goodsP Do you think free trade in raw
wool has been beneficial to you or to any
one in Californian Has free lumber bene-
tted you in any way7 Would there be
any profit for you If all American indus
tries, including your own, were left open
to European competition?
Bryan will not answer whether he is
still a free-trader or, like many other
Democrats, has learned wisdom from the
experience of the last three years. You
who are voters and are engaged in industry
mustask yourselves what his silence means.
Bryan voted for free lumber, for free wool,
for the repeal of the sugar bounty,
for the reduction made on the duties
which protected our industries, and COM
planned because he could not reduce them
further. That is his record. His evasions
In this campaign are not to his credit. If
there were anything of sterling candor in
him he would either declare his intention
to stand by his record or acknowledge his
error and pledge himself to reform.

any other purpose. The honor of the en-

to protect the wages of their employees at
the expense of everything else. Nor do

SAN FRANCISCO REPUBLIoANIsM

The Republican County Convention has
done its work faithfully and we'll. 1t has
rendered good service to both the party
and the people. 1t has adopted platform
of policies which will receive the approval
of all who favor an economical and pro-
gressive administration of municipal af-
fairs, and has nominated a ticket thor
oughly typical of the best elements of our
citizenship and representative OF stalwart
and loyal Republicanism.
The ono issue now before the Republi-
cans of San Francisco is that of electing
this ticket from top to bottom. The
division of the Democratic party in this
City into two discredited factions and the
complete decentralization of the party as a
whole give a good prospect of sweeping
victory for organized Republicanism de-
spite the efforts of some self-styled Re-
publicans to bring about the election of
one or the other of the Democratic tickets
by creating dissensions in the party.
Loyal Republicans have only to stand
firmly by the organization to achieve q
victory over all these discordant elements
of opposition. The strength of the regu-
lar ticket will be in itself an important
aid to the organization, inasmuch as every
ndu Oh IL Is u NOLc-WlnHST. ItSOlulC anu
united effort therefore will be surely
crowned with success. Let us have that
and the Republican party will assure San
Francisco a good municipal administra-
ton, an upright judiciary and a strong
and fit representation in the Legislature.
Every effort should of course be made
and will be made by the leaders of the or
ganized party to harmonize all elements
in the ranks. Though the opposition be
divided and demoralized, the Republican
party cannot afford to lose single vote on
election day. No obstacles will be put in
the way of any man who, having gone out
of the party, now sees the wisdom of re-
turning to it. This Is Republican
year in National politics, and should
be one in local politics. The
voters in San Francisco should take a
pride in rolling up big vote for McKin-
ley and Hobart, and that vote should go
on unbroken for every name on the local
ticket. Many of these local nominees are
men who have been tested in public Office
and found worthy of the highest approval
of their fellow-citizens. Others are known
by their repute in private life to be we'll
deserving public trust and confidence.
They have accepted the nomination of the
party, and it is now the duty of all loyal
members of the party to give them hearty
support in the fight for victory.
