tional debt. But that which would be
to the advantage of the people would be
to the disadvantage of "ShylOcks," who
want debts large, money scarce and in
terest high. That the effect would be
what it has been was foretold by numer-
GUS statesmen upon the floor of congress.
Some were blind to the issue and some
were quieted by self-interest, and some
relied upon the advice of "flnanciers,"
but others spoke valiantly against the
wrong. The late Hon. James G. Blaine
said in speech before the United States
senate QSSO)
II believe the struggle now going on
in this country and in other countries
for single gold standard would, if
successful, produce widespread disas-
ter in and throughout the commercial
world. The destruction of silver as mon
ey and the establishment of gold as the
sole unit of value must have a ruinous
effect on all forms Of property except
those investments which yield a fixed
return in money These would be enOr-
mously enhanced in value, and would
gain a disproportionate and unfair ad-
vantage over every other species of
property. If, as the most reliable sta
tistics affirm, there are nearly 81, 600, ,000,-
900 of coin or bullion in the world very
equally divided between gold and sill
of existence as money without results
that will prove distressing to millions
and utterly disastrous to tens of thou
sands. 1 believe gold and silver coin
to be the money of the constitution; in
deed, the money of the American peo-
pie anterior to the constitution, which
the great organic law recognized as quite
Independent of it's own existence. No
power was conferred on congress to de-
clare either metal should not be money;
congress has, therefore. in my judgment,
no power to demonetize either. If, there
fore, silver has been demonetized, am
in favor of remonetizing it. If it5
coinage has been prohibited, am in ia
vor of ordering it resumed. l am in ia
vor of having it enlarged"
The late Senator Vance said later:
1.-THE power of money and its allies
throughout the world have entered into
this conspiracy to perpetuate the great
est crime of this or any other age; to
overthrow one-half of the worlds mon
ey and thereby double their own wealth
by enhancing the value of the other
half which is in their hands. The money
changers are polluting the temple Of our
liberties"
Others also lifted their voice against
the wrong perpetrated, among them Mr..
William Mckinley. Most respectfully,
G. G. BROWN.

CALIFORNIA PATRIOTISM

I have never hesitated to put myself
on record as believer in the right of
suffrage for women under our modern
representative governments and of her
duty TO desire and to exercise it. If she
be human being she needs representa-
tion for her property. her home, her
children and all her human interests.
and should be debarred from this in per-
son by only the same conditions as ex-
clude citizens of the other sex.
This has seemed self-evident truth
to me since the early SOS, when I first
were making their unique campaign
of remonstrance and appeal to the fran
chised and the disfranchised. Never
since then have I heard a convincing
argument against its Justice. and, there-
fore, it's expedtency, nor seen it's dole
full Jeremiads fulfilled. 1.-The True
Story of Wyoming" vouched for by all
its succeeding officials for it's twenty
some years of existence as a state is
their unanswerable refutation.
1t has always passed my comprehen-
sion since those early years how the
man citizen can look into the face of
wife, daughter, and much less into that
of his mother and not crimson with
shame over the arrogance of his soul
Most of all, that he could do this wrong
toward her who stood shoulder to
shoulder with him in ali the early pio-
neering in New England in the west
and California, sharing with appealing
bravery the exile from home and kim
dred, the fearful perils Of the wilder
ness and the founding of new common
wealths. while he has thrown upon the
illiterate alien the priceless boon of cit
izenship! And I marvel as greatly over
the women, educated and at ease in
sheltered homes. who do not feel this in
dignity to the center Of their souls, and

Mary A. Livermore of Massachusetts
There Is not much to say concerning
the referendum" which the Massachu-
setts legislature imposed upon the peo-
pie of the state last year. 1t was
sham referendum, for it was proposed
as a matter of curiosity on the part OF
the legislators, and was not intended to
settle anything. The question upon
which the people were asked to vote
was this: "Is Is expedient to grant mu-
nicipal suffrage to women?" All women
of voting age who could qualify or reg
lister (and this is serious thing In Mas
suchusetts) were allowed to vote on the
question. But If every man and woman
in Massachusetts, 81 years old and up
ward had voted in the affirmative, it
would not have enfranchised woman;
1t would have resulted in no advantage
whatever. OF course large propor-
tion of the people would not vote, espe-
cially woman suffragists. They refused
to dance as their enemies pulled the
wires" Nevertheless, though we had
only six or eight weeks to work in, and
only a comparatively few worked, there
were 100000 votes cast for woman (mu-
nicipal) suffrage, and the sham refer
endum developed the unexpected fact
that we only need to convert twenty
more male voters in each hundred to
have a majority vote for woman suf-
frage. The result has immensely stim-
ulated woman suffrage in the state, and
never Were there such courage and
earnestness manifested in the suffrage
camp.

REASONS WHY WOMEN WANT TO
VOTE

by Mrs. Morgan Browne Of England
First-Because they pay taxes and have
to obey the laws.
Second-Because the persons who are
deprived of the right to vote are lunatics,
CRIMINALS, paupers, women and chill
dren; and women object to being classed
with lunatics, If they are sane; with GRIM
inals, if they obey the laws; with pau
pers, If they pay taxes; with children,
If they are of adult age.
Th1rd-Because the nation is only one
FAMILY, composed of men and women,
boys and girls, and the wishes of women
ought to be consulted considering how
many laws are made which specially af-
feet their sex. and because parliament
TOO OFTEN refuses to pass Just laws for
women which almost certainly would
be passed if women had votes
Fourth-Because at present the rights
OF fathers and mothers in regard to their
children are not equal before the law.
Ftfth-Because men and women are
different, and therefore neither sex
should be shut out from a share in the
government of the country which affects
both men and women.
Sixth-Because women share the bur-
den and responsibilities of life with men,
and they should also share the priviI-
eges and duties.
Seventh-Because women as a sex
are pure, unselfish and conscientious.
and by excluding them from political
life, the nation loses just that large
amount of purity, unselfishness and
conscientiousness in the conduct of pub
lie affairs which women are known to
exercise in private life.
Eighth-Because the votes of women
as well as the votes of men are required,
If the government is to justly and fully
represent the whole of the nation.

ONE OF THE TINES RASCALS.

Editor Herald: I was somewhat sur
prised in reading an article in last Sun
days Times which might prejudice
some voters against Judge Utley, and If
by few remarks of mine can counter
act the influence of this article will feel
that my efforts have not been in vain.
Judge Utley is we'll known among the
Pasadenans, where he resided for some
time. This little incident came under
my knowledge and it is my duty in just
ice to him to relate 1t.
An English woman of about %, living
in Pasadena with her husband, having
no children of her own, seeing a poor
little waif deserted by it's mother con-
cluded to adopt it as her own. The hus-
band of this English woman was a la
borer, gaining probably between $25 and
$50 dollars per mQnth. She knew there
would be expenses to be met with in
adopting the child, as the law requires
certain papers to be drawn up. A lady
wrote to Judge Utley, stating the case
to him. to see if he could arrange mat
ters without these expenses. Judge
Utley was more than kind, he interest
ed himself in this case and the English
woman and her husband cannot help
but speak in the highest terms of Judge
Utley's kindness. PASADENAN.

ON A DEAD CARD.

Editor Herald: The Republican party
claims that the election of Mckinley
will restore confidence and prosperity
will follow. and we hear every day that
all the commercial centers are working
for his (McKinley's election for that
reason. Would it not be advisable for
the working people to examine this
question before casting their votes
blindly? Is it not an assured fact that
the solid south and west will elect silver
congressman enough on November Sd
to block all legislation until our rights
are respected, regardless of Mr.. McKin-
ley's election? 1t appears to me that in
the event of his (McKinley's) election he
would occupy the same position as a
stack of checks on dead card.

p. S.-The Hon. Thomas Fitch, the

plated gold tongued orator (for reven-
ue) made a speech here few nights
since in Reid's opera house to a large
audience (mostly silver mem and in the
course of his argument stated that he
did not receive one dollar for his work
in this campaign, but was working for
the glory there was in 1t. This might
sound we'll in the far east, where Mr.

of us old time Californians here. Con-
seouently we did not take it seriously.
