The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-09-05

Major Mckinley in his letter of acceptance
says that during and since 1878 there has
been put in circulation more than 1924, 000,-
600 OF silver or its representative" and that
''prior to that time" some S9. 1000, 600 were
coined, making total OF 1858, 100000. 1t is
said that we can coin $40 DOC, 600 year, pre-
sumably in dollar pieces. Suppose then thatwe
coin only dollar pieces. and that we have but
100000 900 instead of $633, 900 600 to re-
coin. Only a slight acquaintance with arith-
metic will show the honest and well-meaning
voter hat ten years will pass before the $780,
600, 600 can be recoined into dollars alone.
In the meantime no new or additional silver
could be coined, and in the end we should
nave only three-quarters as much money as
we now have OF course, the Europeans won ID
have TO recoin their silver also. And when 1t
is all done. it is only for awhile" and then
we are 10 go back to 10 to / and recoin it all
over again. prefer 10 90 on with our present
ratio OF 16 to 1, and add some new silver to
the present volume as soon as Bryan is elected
and goes into office.

JEERED NO MORE.

AN INCIDENT OF THE CIVIL WAR IN WHICH
GENERAL BUCKNER FIGURED.
To the Editor of the San Francisco Cdtt-SIR:
The nomination of General Simon Bolivar
Buckner OF Kentucky for e-President brings
wildly to my mind an incident of the Civil
War.
General Buckner, after surrendering to Gen.
eral Grant at Fort Donelson, was put on
board transport with other prisoners of war
and conveyed down the Tennessee and up the
Ohio River to the Indiana shore, opposite
Louisville, where they mbarked en- route
10 Camp Morton, in Indiana.
As General Buckner Was being escorted up
the levee, guarded by q file of soldiers under
command OF a lieutenant, crowd of spectators
collected and the rabble began jeering and
offering insults TO General Buckner, the first
full general prisoner that had been landed on
Northern soil.
The lieutenant. a courteous gentleman and
every inch soldier, halted just for moment
and warned the crowd that General B1ekner,
as prisoner of war, was guest OF the United
States, and that the first rowdy who offered
any further insults would be sent to jail"
The jeering ceased. FRANK B. SHARPE.

ment our Hour trade alone with Cuba in
creased from ia, AL barrels in 1891 to 662.-
24S barrels in 1894, which was over 4S0 per
cent The first year after the agreement
was abrogated Cuba took from US only
ofS,ooo barrels. How near we came to
controlling the -four trade of Cuba under
the reciprocity agreement will be under
stood when 1t is said that imports of flour
10 that country, from countries other than
the United States. fell off from S6.519 bags
IN the three months prior to the agree
ment TO 1858 bags In the same months in
the following year.
In 1891 Porto Rico took 1888 barrels
OF Hour from us and 100000 barrels in
1894, but under the Wilson German act in
1879 we sold only lis, 6I7 barrels. During
the hrst year of the operation of the agree
ments our reciprocal trade increased
nearly $2100000 that is to say other
countries increased their purchases of
American articles of trade by that amount.
IL VIII be understood that we had hardly
got the machinery of these agreements in
Working order when they were abrogated
by the Cleveland administration, but
enough was accomplished to show the i'm
portance OF such trade relations with other
countries to US. The Republican party is
pledged to renew the agreements and in
crease our trade with those countries, and
the Bryanites are pledged to oroose any
and all forms of reciprocal trade inter-
course with other countries. As busi-
ness proposition business men should
want the Republican policy to prevail.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-09-05
WHAT REOIPROOITY DOES,

Our people know in a general way that
reciprocal trade relations with other coun-
tries would be highly advantageous to us,
but very few appreciate fully the i'm
portance of maintaining such relations.
Reciprocal trade means free trade in such
articles of commerce as do not come in
hurtful competition with articles which
we produce. With country that raises
coffee, say, but does not raise wheat, we
could have such trade relations to
our advantage, because it would give
our farmers another market for their prod
uce, and at the same time give the whole
country coffee at tie lowest possible cost
What is true of wheat and coffee is true
of every other commercial article; but of
course we should not permit the foreign
producers of wheat or any other article of
trade which would come in competition
with any of the products of our industries
to sustain reciprocal relations with us.
That is to saw, by way of illustration,
we could not allow an American maker of
goods and wares to exchange them for
Argentina wheat. for that would be aiding
one home industry at the expense of an
other home industry. The home people
buy his goods and wares, thus furnishing
him a market, and he should buy his sup
plies of his home people that they may
have home market. This is the whole
principle of protection and reciprocity. 1t
is free trade where free trade is better for
US than protection, and protection where
protection is better for as than free trade.
Boiled down, so to speak, the Republican
party's theory of conducting the Govern
ment is TO give Americans every oppor-
tunity to benefit themselves, and it means
for the best interests of Americans first,
last and all the time.
To prove that enormous trade expan-
sion may be had under properly adjusted
reciprocal trade intercourse with other
countries there is abundant data of a
purely official character. We mean the
official export and import merchandise
statistics OF the National Treasury De-
partment. The principal nations which
entered into reciprocal trade relations
with US under the provisions of the enc
Kinley act" were Brazil, Porto Rico,
Cuba, the German Empire, Salvador, Brit
ish West Indies, Nicaragua, Guatemala,
Costa RIGA, Honduras, Austria Hungary
and France and her colonies. 1t was late
in 1891 and early in 1892 when these agree
ments became effective, but as is well
known they were abrogated by the W IL
son-Gorman pill.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The difference between the demeanor of
Major Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan when be-
lore the public is so great that it is re-
marked upon. Mr.. Bryan appears to think
the people want cap-and-bells cam paign,
and he tries to out-Herod Herod. He uses
the most extravaganza expressions for mere
dramatic effect, and recites jokes and wit
ticlsms to the groundlings for the hurrahs
they elicit. He appeals to the vicious in
stinct that he may lash his audience into
furious demonstrations of hatred. He
makes word-pictures of one class of his
fellow-citizens that are calculated to infu-
rate another class. He sacrifices the truth
OF history TO strengthen effort to mislead.
Mr.. Bryan is making the position of can
didate for President of the greatest coun-
try in the world a very cheap thing by put
ting it on level with ward politics and
travelling shows.
On the other hand, Major Mckinley
never fails to appreciate the exalted posi-
ton of one who is called to lead a great
party in a political campaign for the Presi-
dency. There is entire absence of show
and acting when the people call upon him.
With Major Mckinley, even the prospect
of being called upon to direct the destiny
of &c, 600 900 people is a serious matter; be-
sides, he enters into the question of how
the condition of the people may be bet
tered, and what will best keep aglow the
patriotism of the people with honest zeal.
he is only DESTROYS that his countrymen
may go from strength to strength in all
that promises good for home and country.
He is actuated by a sincere regard for the
peoples welfare, and while he faces duty
with lofty determination to win in the
peoples cause, he makes no idle boasts,
nor does he tell the people of "my plat
form" nor yet is it ever 81 am l."
Bryan is imbued with the idea that he
is necessary to the country. Major Nc
Kinley believes the country is necessary
to him. Bryan believes whatever his pol
icy is should be the peoples policy. Major
McKin ley believes he should consult with
the people and conform to their interests.
Bryan thinks the people should sit at his
feet and learn wisdom. Major Mckinley
believes he should learn of the people.
Bryan says he is at enmity with the East.
Major Mckinley loves every American
citizen. In short, Bryan represents in
himself the small but ambitious politician
who would overthrow the very founda-
ton OF the Government for self-advantage.
Major Mckinley risked his own life to save
the foundation of the Government from
the hand of the enemy, and he stands to-
day the wise, the dignified, the patriotic
and unyieIding representative of the
same principles. NJ aior Mckinley is OF
himself the highest type of the patriotic
American sovereign. Mr.. Bryan is an
ambitious politician. II is for the people
to say which of these types of American.
ism they will choose to direct their public
affairs.

will see that it is not likely to be less
interesting than usual.

was In harmony with the thought of the
grandfathers of the party when the stage
coach and the canal-boat furnished very
rapid transit.
The platform is clear and very easy to
understand. 1t does not deal in glittering
generalitles, but declares boldly for free
trade and gold money. For consistency
in adhering to Democratic principles the
convention is to be congratulated. There
never was time when the true Democrat
did not oppose even an approach to pro-
lection and monetary system that was
not based upon gold.
1t would be hard to say what influence
this wing of the Democratic party will ex-
ert in the November election, but that 1t
will spend money with a liberal hand to
defeat Bryan there is no doubt whatever.
The leaders have lost sight OF their old
enemy, the Republican party, in the fury
of their rage over the capture of the Chi
cago convention by deserters from their
own household, and they will leave no stone
unturned that can be used in the work OF
crushing the nominees of "Altgeld's rab-
bIe." They have but one object-to pre-
vent the election of the Chicago nominees,
and since they possess the brains and the
money of the Democracy their work
against BRYAN will tell all along the line.
Nevertheless, had they allowed their
good sense instead of their hatred OF
Bryan to prevail, they would have seen
that the surest way to put upon Bryan the
shame Of the most crushing defeat ever
administered TO man by the people OF
America would be to join heart and hand
with the Republican party for this day
only" for the Republican party is COM
missioned by the guardian angel OF the
people to smite Organism to the death
with the sword of justice, truth and
liberty.

Referring to our public school system. it
says:
If there is one thing above another which the
wideawake residents OF Los Angeles are proud OF
it is the facilities afforded by the city for schooling
the rising generation. Few cities in the land are
better equipped in this respect. none have made
rapid strides in this direction. 1t is doubtful
whether the record made by Los Angeles in the
last school year in the matter of building school
houses has ever been equaled by any city of the
same size in like period.
Articles like these are of benefit to q city,
appearing they do in paper of the charac-
ter and general circulation of The CALL, and
the people of Los Angeles are showing their
appreciation OF Mr.. Shortridge's efforts to ad-
vertise the town by adding their names In
