ALIENS BILLINGsGATE.

Senator Allen was made delegate TO
the Populist convention to help betray
the party into the hands OF the new
Democracy, and he tried so hard to accom-
plish his purpose that it would have been a
reflection upon his ability to play false
| to murder as he smiled-not to make him
chairman. No valid excuse could be offered
for trying to sell out the party to the
Democracy, and hence a man who could
deal in biilingsgate was needed in the
chair 10 divert attention from the conspir-
ators while they were putting the finish
ing touches upon the coffin which it was
hoped would hold the remains OF Populism.
Mr.. Allen was for many years an Iowa
middle-of-the-road Democrat, but some
way or somehow he got himself arrested
for criminal offense, anu when the elo-
quence of Horace Boies opened the meshes
of the law for him Mr.. Allen migrated 10
the wilds of Western Nebraska, where he
subsequently turned up as Populist.
Thus it will be seen that Mr.. Allen was the
right man in the right place while the
conspirators were making out the papers
which were to give the Democracy bill
of sale of the Populist party. Nearly one-
half of the convention was composed of
farmers, mechanics and other honest sons
of toll. It may be said of them that they
are patriotic and sincere lovers of the
country's institutions They truly be-
lieve that their theories would better the
conditions OF existence of all the people,
but their honesty and sincerity have
been played upon by the. professional
politicians under the leadership of Allen.
Never was q convention so dominated by
the professional politician-the politician
who makes his living out of politics.
Chairman Aliens purpose was, while
diver.ing attention from the cunning work
OF his agents, to SO magnify the influence
which Wall street exerts upon the busi-
ness world that bitter hatred might be
engendered on the part of Bryan's "com-
mon people" toward the larger of the
business enterprises of the country. No
man ever labored harder to set section
against section, neighbor against neighbor,
than did Senator Allen in the Populist
convention. He presented no argument,
but hurled chunk after chunk of rhetori-
cal mud at every reputable man in the
country who is not IN accord with his own
revolutionary purpose. Without even
claiming to have an excuse for it he
abused Major Mckinley as no one but a
blackguard could and called him the tool
of Great Britain, of Lombard street, of the
Rothschilds and of Wall street. But, for
that matter. no one who has the right to
be called gentleman escaped Mr.. Allen's
vituperation. Either directly or by infer
ence he assailed every man in America
who is not throwing up his hat for Aliens
kind of Populism. which is the kind that
may always be found on political bargain
counters. Those who have not yet made
up their minds to have nothing to do with
Democratic Populist combine should
read Aliens speech. 1t will convince them
that it would be political smallpox.

GOING TO JAPAN.

Shipping the machinery of California
woolen factory to Japan because it does
not pay 10 operate it here is telling OBJ
ject lesson in economics. This State pro-
duces a fine grade of wool, and our woolen-
mill operatives are as capable as any in
this or any other country, but what is the
use of trying to compete on practically
equal footing with the cheap labor of Eu-
rope and the Orient? The wool and
woolen factory industries should Ee strong
and conspicuous factors in California s
business life, and they would be if reason
able protective duties were in force. The
repeal of the tariff act OF 1890 was hard
blow at this State in more ways than one,
and the struggle to stem the adverse tide
has been heroic, but although the election
of Major Mckinley and the adoption of
sufficiently high customs duties to warrant
capital in engaging in industrial enter
prises is well assured, the fact remains
that capital will not take very many
chances.
But the removing of industrial machin-
cry from San Francisco to q foreign coun-
try because our own Government is hostile
to It's operation is certainly reflection
upon our system of government. In a
little while we shall be receiving woolen
fabrics from Japan. If we are curious
enough to look beyond the goods to the
factory in which they are produced we
shall find that they are the product of the

FOOD FOR MIND AND BODY
Woman Suffragists TO Have a
Booth at the Alameda
County Fair.
The Associations Badge Is Growing
in Favor, Requests for 1t
Being Numerous.

At the forthcoming Alameda County
Fair, which is to open on the Sd OF August,
the woman suffragists are to have booth,
which will undoubtedly be the center OF
much admiring interest. Light refresh
ments will be served free of charge to all
visitors, who will be given quantities OF
suffrage literature to take away with them
and digest at leisure. Mrs. Wood, a we'll
known oyer-the-bay equal suffrage apostle,
visited the Woman Suffrage Bureau yes
terday and waxed eloquent over the pro-
ject, in which she is a leading spirit.
''In that BOOTH" she remarked, 1--WE
intend to show all visitors, particularly
the meny that the women who want to vote
are not unmindful of their home duties
nor unversed in housewifely arts. We
shall show piles of the finest needlework
and pyramids of toothsome preserves, be-
sides many other products OF home toll,
and not well-he mined handkerchief nor
a jar of Jelly shall be seen in the place
unless it be the actual work OF suffra-
gist."
Requests for badges are daily increasing,
and few tons will soon have to be kept,
so to speak, on tap, The badge represents
the stripes of red and white, but there are
only three stars, representing the three
States in which citizens of both seZes have
the privilege of the ballot. A suggestive
space is left for Califofnia's stellar en-
blem when she shall be entitled to one.

number of artistic hand-palnted pla-

FALsIFYING THE RECORD.

If it were not that the people are too
intelligent to be hoodwinked by the
sophistry of the Bryans the days OF the
Republic could very easily be numbered.
For instance, the burden of the talk of
such fellows is 1.-The enormous shrinkage
in values since the crime of 1873" That
there has been an enormous shrinkage in
the value of practically ali articles of COM
merce since 1873 no one viii deny, only
that the wages of labor have not fallen in
proportion to what labor has to pay for
articles of consumption. But the Bryans
deliberately lie when they say that these
great reductions in values have not been
highly beneficial to the people, and they
tell another lie when they say the silver
legislation of 1873 exerted any influence
one way or the other in lowering the
range of prices of general goods and wares.
Tile Bryans know very well that the per
capita money in the United States h as
been steadily increasing since 1873. In 1873
the per capita money was about $18 and
to-day it is over $22. Moreover, our sys-
tenn of doing business with checks and the
accompanying clearinghouse system is
estimated to be the equivalent of $50 per
capita, making the actual per capita
money $72. But the per capita of cash is
greater than in England. The enormous
shrinkage in values" which the Bryans
try to make SO much of, is because under
protection inventive genius was stimu-
lated to invent machinery that would
make pair of shoes in few minutes
which required a days work in 1878.
Clothing of all kinds has decreased greatly
in ha o0off IN ha bxv
improved machinery, but wages have not
materially decreased. Iron product, by
reason of discovered chemical and me-
chanical processes, has been reduced in cost
to consumers as much as any other ar
ticles of trade, as has everything that goes
into the building trades, but wages have
met with no such scaling down.
When the "crime of 1873" was commit
tea it took carpenter whole day to
make a panel door, but machinery now
turns out door in FIVE minutes, but the
carpenters wages are substantially the
same. The cost OF travelling on railway
or shipping freight is less than half what
it was in 1878, but wages of railway en-
ployes are still highly remuneratiye. And
what is true of the articles of manufacture
and transportation charges mentioned is
true of nearly every department of indus
try. The efficiency of labor has been null
tipIied many times since 1878, but wages
have been subjected to little change; and !,
moreover, every dollar in circulation Is
worth its face in gold. At no period in
the history of America was the circulating
money medium as uniform in purchasing
power as it has been since that awful
"crime."

THE SUNDAY CALL.

To-morrow's edition of The CALL will be
pre-eminently THE California Sunday
newspaper. 1t will, as it always is, be
written, edited ana illustrated by Califor-
mia talent alone, nor will it be second in
any respect to the best of the Eastern pro-
ductions. THE SUNDAY CALL is more at
tractive, more interesting, geographically
and artisticaIly more pleasing and more
meritorious, more free from freaks and dis
tortlons, more expensive and more read
able than any other Sunday newspaper
west of Chicago-and as to the truthful
ness of this statement the reader is merely
asked to exercise his own good taste and
judgment.
More than all, however-let 1t be re-
peated-THE SUNDAY CALL is everybody s
newspaper because its columns are replete
with the incident. the poetry, the things
of human interest that occur nearest home
first of all, aud then with the complete
news of all the wide world. Some of its
particularly attractive features for to-
morrow are:
"The Most Uncanny Spot on the Face
of the Earth" being graphic description
in words and pictures of some of the weird
wonders of Superstition Mountains.
.'Some of the Things an Idle Man Found
in the Odd Corners of San Francisco"
"The One Trolley-car Without a
Fender"

Owners Ask Too Much and Discourage
Needed Capital.


L. l.. Bailey, a mine expert of Denver,
Colo, arrived at the Palace yesterday,
Recently he was in the Randsberg dis
triet, down near Mojaye, looking over the
ground for an Eastern syndicate repre-
senting New York and New England cap
ital. In about fortnight he will start for
Alaska to look over the field near Juneau
and to the southwark
He says that the Randsberg district is
not poor mans country. Large capital
is necessary to develop the mines, which
are principally quartz, although there
could be some placer mines IL there was
water to work them. Everything has been
taken up, and largely by men who have
neither experience as miners nor capital to
employ those that have.
In the principal camp, the town of
Randsberg, there are about 800 persons.
Perhaps fifty men are actually engaged in
mining.
Ever since the nominations capital has
been stagnant. waiting TO see which way
to move. Mr.. Bailey's advices admon-
ished him to do nothing. Recently, he
says, $4,000 was paid on q 100000 propo-
sition in Utah, but the company aban-
doned it as soon as the nominations were
made, preierring to hang on to what cap
ital 1T has until the elections shall have
been decided.
Mr.. Bailey is silverite, but he thinks
that the effect of the election of Mckinley
upon the movement of business through
out the country can be predicted as bene-
hcial, while the result of Bryan's election
is problematical

electrical battery: Use either jar or large
earthen crook for large or tumbler for
small battery. The battery consists OF silver
plate, or sometimes lead plate, which is
coated with fine powdery deposit of platinum
which gives the surface rough character so
that hydrogen will not adhere to it, sus-
pended between two plates of zinc. The two
zines are connected with each other, forming
one pole, and the silver or lead forms the other
pole. Care must be taken to prevent the zines
from touching each other or the middle plate
The solution used in this battery is composed
of one part sulphuric acid to twenty of water.
This battery is useful where strong constant
current is required The zines should be
rubbed frequently with mercury to prevent
wasting.
