TO FARMERS AND MECHANICS.

Last Monday was great day in Canton.
A large delegation of mechanics and an
otner of farmers paid their respects to
Major Mckinley. Of course he made a
speech-two speeches, and it may be said
he covered the entire philosophy of Re-
publican principles when he told the me-
chanics that mo matter what kind of
money, we cannot get it without work
whether it is poor or good, gold or silver.
We cannot get one dollar unless we have
employment for our hands and our heads,
and told the farmers: "You cannot help
the farmer by more coinage of silver. He
can only be helped by more consumers of
his products"
The United States cannot help the enor-
nous increase in farm products in South
America and Russia, nor can the United
States control the price OF farm products
in the consumption markets of Europe.
Great and powerful competition faces the
wage-earner and farmer of this country,
but it is foreign and beyond our iuris-
diction.
Europe does not want our farm products
at higher prices than is asked by Argen-
tina and Russia, but Europe does want to
continue to supply our markets with man.
ufactured goods. That is the situation as
regards our wage-earners and our farmers.
Mr.. Mckinley says the only way to relieve
our wage-earners and farmers is to have a
tariff high enough to protect our indus
tries 80 that they may give American labor
plenty of work ar good wages. When that
is done the demand for food supplies will
maintain home markets for the farmers
products at better prices than he can get
in Europe.
Had Major Mckinley talked for month
or written dozen books OIL the needs of
the people he could not have made it
clearer what this country needs to insure
prosperity in all lines of business and oc-
cupations.
The farmer needs better prices for his
produce, but there is no way under the
shining sun by which he can secure them
other than by selling his products to our
own people. The people, however, cannot
buy because they have no money, and they
have no money because they can get no
work to earn money.
Now, what is the common-sense thing to
do under such circumstances? Why,
start up the industries. give the people
work at good wages. Then they would
have plenty of money to buy and the
farmer would have permanent market
for his products at good prices.
The question OF how to induce, keep and
maintain prosperity in the United States
is not much of problem. Just protect
our wage-earners from destructive foreign
competition and they will quickly estab.
lish good markets for the farmer. 1t is a
very simple proposition.

SEOTIONALISM.

The country was in danger in 1851 and
the musket was resorted to. The country
is in danger in 1896 and the ballot must be
resorted to-. In 1861 the Southern section
OF the country defied the authority of the
constitution of the Nation. In 1896 the
Altgelds and the Bryans are defying the
laws of commerce and business ethics.
Had the South succeeded in the war which
it inaugurated in 1861 the whole country
would have perished, nor would the South
have escaped the general wreck and ruin.
If Organism prevails in 1895 suspicion and
hesitation will clog every channel of COM
merce and industry. The application of
Bryan's economic theories in the conduct
of the affairs of the Nation would be as
fatal to the business well-being of the
people as recognition of the doctrine of
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-26

votes for Bryan, and as certain to give them to
MeKi nley and Hobart. There is no escape
from this trying dilemma Vote for the whole
and the Presidents win divide them, five
for one and four for the other.
The foregoing analysis of the effect of voting
for straight candidates has been given on the
on the Democratic ticket; but it seems in
credible that he will do so since neither him
self nor Watson can be elected. for neither can
hope to receive 227 votes, the number neces.
sary to elect. Patriotic Democrats should
unite in demanding his retirement from the
ticket, as an act of good faith to nine-tenths
OF the Populists in the National Convention
who voted for the nomination of Bryan, as
well as an act of patriotism due the country.
AS have already pointed out, there are two
great forces struggling for the mastery in this
the corporate monopolies on the one side, and
on the other side the common people and the
industrial interests. A shorter and simpler

THE REAL AND THE BOGUS.

1t is not at all strange that Republican
speakers should make a distinction be-
tween Organism and Democracy. No we'll
informed man would speak of the Chicago
platform as a Democratic declaration of
principles nor OF Bryan as Democrat. In
this connection it might be suggested that
if Andrew Jackson were alive he would be
strongly inclined to hang Bryan and every
delegate who voted for him in the conven-
tion for stealing the livery of the Demo
cratic party to serve Populism in.
From its organization down to and
through the administration of Buchanan
the Democratic party was opposed to
paper money of all kinds and forms, and
to silver. The few Democrats who ere
in Congress during the war voted almost
to the man against authorizing the Gov
ernment to issue greenbacKs. They in
sisted that gold and only gold should be
employed by the Nation for circulating
money medium. As late as 1876 the De-
mocracy i'll National onvention-the con-
vention that nominated Tilden-refused
to favor the free coinage of silver. The
opposition to the white metal was so great.
indeed, that proposition to fix the ratio
at the actual commercial values of the
metals was voted down by more than two
thirds majority.
From 1901, when Jefferson was Presi-
dent, down to the Chicago convention in
1896 the leaders of the Democratic party
have stood for gold money and so declared
in conventions. 1t is true that the Ma
tional conventions between 1876 and 1896
declared for the largest possible use of
silver as circulating money medium. but
it was always implied at least that the
gold dollar should not only be the unit of
value but that silver dollars should be in
direc tly redeemable in gold. The Demo-
cratic party has never stood for bimetal-
lism in the sense of the employment of
silver on its own merits. The Demo-
cratic party has never believed that it is
possible to have more than one standard
of value, and it has invariably advocated
gold as the proper material for the
standard. No man can be consistent
Democrat and favor, the coinage of silver
dollars other than on account of the Gov
ernment, and then only in such volume
as can be redeemed in gold.
Republican speakers, therefore, who
make distinction between Organism and
Democracy know what they are talking
about. The Chicago convention was cap
tured by the worst foes of the Democratic
party-that is to say, by the Populists.
The chief end Of the Democracy, in the
South more especially, has been to
vote down or count out Populist candi-
dates. Bryan and his following are not
Democrats at all. They may have been
at one time, but they now have no more
right to call themselves Democrats than
Christian has to claim that he is a fol-
lower of Jesus Christ after he has en-
braced Mohammedanism. Let people and
parties be called by their right names.
Organism is bogus Democracy.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Martin Cuddihy, who for forty-two years has
lived at Happy Camp, Siskiyou County, is at

eral merchandise store and hotel and Is inter-
ested in mines there. He says three or four

Mr.. Cuddihy, "and the camp is getting in a
pretty prosperous condition and in shape to

"The camp though isolated has always been
rich. The fact is there is more gold there than
most of the old residents have till lately been
aware OF. 1t is comparatively easily mined,
too, and this now leads US 10 the belief that

BRYANISM AND DEPRESSION.

Further investigations of the free-trade
question, fully published in to-day's CALL,
show that the evils of the Wilson bill were
apparent long ago and that the Democrats
purposely dodge the tariff issue because
they are ashamed of their record on the
Wilson bill.
1t is shown that so long ago as 1894 the
threats of reign Of Clevelandism run
rampant on free trade had an injurious
effect upon business. that wages depre-
ciated, factories closed and farmers SUI
fered.
Do what they will, the Democratic ghost
of industrial ruin will not down. The
