An Enthusiastic Meeting Held by
the Republican Club of
That District.

An enthusiastic meeting was held last
evening by the Thirty-fifth Assem- bly, Dis
trict Republican Club at 3008 Mission
street. 1t was called to order by William
Gill, president of the club, who after a
few preliminary remarks upon the -four
ishing condition OF the organization intro
duced Judge Henry Dibble.
That eloquent speaker gave the Mission
ties a clear and concise statement of the
standing of the parties in this ampaign.
You want" said he, ito see the labor
ing ma do well. He is the cornerstone
of a nations prosperity. All depends
upon him. What is it that makes his lot
hard? Want of confidence. No one Will
invest W hen there is no hope of return
and everything that destroys confidence
drives labor out of power. These are hard
times, and four more years of Populistic
and Democratic rule and the hard times
will become desperate times. 1t is said
that the American people before the last
election wanted a change, and whether
that is true or not we know they want one
now.
"There must be an end of this and re-
turn to the protection and prosperity of
the Republican party, with William Nc
Kinley as our President"
The speaker closed with stirring ap-
peal to the loyal people to stand firm for
sound money and sound principles. and
was answered by uproarous applause
from the entire audience.

landism, Popuism and all the issues in
which Democracy had clothed itself.
He literally roasted the imam from Ne
braska" and his so-called oratory. which
be said was like his own river-1O00 miles
long and six inches deep. Then he spoke
of protection. the old and eternal battle
cry of the Republican party. "All onr
Presidents" said he, from Washington
down to Cleveland. were protectionists
Jefferson was so rabid a protectionist that
he recommended that English imports be
barred out altogether, and they were for
years..

candidate for Congress from the Fourth
Congressional District, to address the
meeting next Friday evening.
1t was further resolved that the mem
bers in a body should attend the mass
meeting to be held under the auspices OF

duced, and made a stirring address on
campaign issues, frequently evoking ap-
plause from the large audience.
q am proud, first of ALL" he declared,
THAT l am an American, and next that 1
am Republican.
''Go with me to South American coun-
tries, to Mexico, and other free silver
countries, and you will understand why
am unalterably opposed to the platform
of the Democratic party"
The speaker concluded by asking each
man present to appoint himself COM
mittee of one to work for Mckinley and
good government.
]. G. Pegram, a member of the Afro
American League, then followed, stating
that this is the greatest campaign ever
known in the history of the Nation. E4-
pecial attention. was drawn to the none
tary systems of the two parties and the
fallacies OF the Democratic ideas.
Benjamin l.. Mckinley was introduced
amid the applause of the audience, and
spoke eloquently on the issues now oe fore
the American people to be settled at the
coming election.
He made very clear and forcible ex-
position of the money question, showing
that tne free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of IS TO L or any other
ratio is not the remedy to apply to the
sorely crippled Government.
The meeting was concluded by an over
ture by Professor Sichel and song by
Captain Batchelder.
A special programme by prominent
speakers has been arranged for next Fri
day evening, when the members are ex-
pected to be out in force.

J. @. Blaine club.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
Blaine Republican Club was held last
night at K. R. B. Hall, on Mason street.
with Thomas Desmond in the chair.
Mr.. Savey spoke at considerable length
upon the Re publicanism of the president
of the club, who all through life had re-
mained loyal to his party when the ma
jority of his country men considered it no
less than a crime to vote any other than
the Democratic ticket.
This compliment to Mr.. Desmond
brought prolonged applause. Vocal and
instrumental music was introduced be-
tween the many speeches of the evening,
all OF which were timely and well received.

THE GOLD IMPORTS.


"A reader" who thinks he puts the
Astorian in tight place. wants us to
reconcile the gold bug prediction" that
gold viii leave this country under free
silver coinage with the press dispatch
in yesterdays paper announcing the
shipment by transatlantic steamers OF
some SlOOO0,OoO in gold from Europe
He also sneers at the statement 50 Oft
en- made that the business depression
is growing perceptibly verse out Of the
apprehension felt in some financial cir
cles that the Bryan combination may
possibly prove strong enough to CAP
ture the government in November.
So far as our correspondent last
proposition is concerned it would be
useless TO attempt any answer; for II he
and others like him who pretend to
read the papers are SO dense or live
under such narrow surroundings and
so far removed from touch with the
business world as not to feel or appre-
ciate some OF the effects Of a financial
stringency which. within the last ten
days or two weeks, has driven some OF
the most reputable and Oldest estab-
lished commercial institutions in the
country to the wall and forced others.
like the Illinois Steel Works. to sus-
pend all operations for an indefinite
time. there is nothing the Astorian
could say which would be at all calcu-
lated to bring the facts within his or
their comprehension.
AS to the significance of the gold
shipments to this country, we have sim
ply to explain to this reader" in the
first place, that we know Of no intelli-
gent person who claims that gold would
leave the country under free coinage:
but, on the other hand-and possibly
that is the reason why Europeans are
now willing to send gold here-the Unit
ed States under free coinage would be-
come the most profitable place in the
universe in which to keep gold, since
it would be the only civilized country
Of any commercial consequence where
gold would command premium. What
gold standard advocates really claim is
that under free silver gold would cease
to circulate in the ordinary channels
" trade along side Of silver, but would
be boarded and sold to the unfortu-
mates who had gold debts to pay and
to business men who We're obliged to
make remittances in specie to cover
commercial transactions had with gold
standard nations Of Europe. Instead Of
gold leaving the country it is reasona-
bic to assume that it would be sent
here in increased quantities-not for
coinage or circulation in dollars but
to be bartered and traded and speculat-
ed upon as other merchandise on
boards Of trade and in Wall street
brokerage offices.

Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal Of the reel
proclty arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was
national calamity. and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as will equallzc our trade with
other nations. remove the restrictions
which now obstruct the sale OF Amer
lean products In the ports OF other
countries and secure the enlarged mar
kets Of our farms. forests and factories.
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures Of Republican policy, and go
hand In hand. Democratic rule has
recklessly struck down both, and both
must be re-establIshed. Protection for
what we produce, free admission for
the necessaries Of life which we don't
produce. reciprocal agreements Of mu-
tual interest which gain open markets
for US in return for our open market to
others. Protection builds up domestic
industry and trade and secures our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.

country to the silver standards not
the only issue in this years preslden-
tial campaign. In absolute Importance
1t is not the principal issue. 1t is not a
question on which intelligent men of
any political belief can honestly differ.
1t has but one side. No man who has
the welfare Of the country at heart, no
man who sympathizos with the bread
winners, can hesitate about casting
his vote against this proposition Of
wholesale robbery and population.
But the silver question must be met
first. because Of the violence Of the as
sault made by the coterie Of mine
owners upon the national credit. There
are about 10000 men, all told, in the
United States who own the silver
mines. 1t is their money which Is push

splendor, and dictate the campaign
which has for it's object the injury Of
every one Of the $1,000, 900 people Of the
United States except the 10000 mine
owners.
But the very violence Of the assault
Of the silver conspirators makes it
short-liyed. As soon as the masses
Of the people understand the truth
about this Infamous conspiracy, the re-
action will set in and then the really
