SOME SUNDAY NEWSPAPER
NOMINATIONS.
San Diego Tribune.

The CALL prints the handsomest and most
attractively made up Sunday edition of any of
the San Francisco dailies. The matter is un-
usually Interesting, and the general arrange
ment decidedly artistic. However. these
gigantic Sunday papers are positive nui-
sance. Nobody thanks the publisher tor them;
they are rarely half read, and prove mere
embarrassment of riches TO subscribers. They
have grown to such unwieldy proportions out
of small spirit Of rivalry, and the paper that
Will have the courage to return to rot more
than sixteen pages of carefully selected matter
will confer boon on its readers. and receive
meriied praise for dariug to abandon an abom-
Unable custom, which will be vastly more hon.
ored in the breach than in the observance.
We suggest to TIRE CALL to pioneer the pro-
posed reform. 1t could make sixteen-page
paper without padding that everybody would
admire and enjoy.

THE FIFTH ARTILLERY.

The orders received by the Fifth Artil-
lery to make immediate preparations to
leave this City as soon after October / as
practicable are of interest to the general
public. 1t is strange that no explanation
has been given from headquarters of the
cause for this sudden and unexpected
change. 1t is certainly an unwIse move
to transfer men from the climate of San
Francisco to that of the extreme Southern
States at this season of the year and such
a movement should not be made without
important and pressing reasons.
General Miles is now in the West, and
may be in San Francisco before the week
is over. 1t is to be hoped he will arrive
early enough to review the situation be-
fore the regiment is removed. The Fifth
has served in the Southern States since
other artillery regiments, and should not
be called upon again for that duty until
those others have served their turn. There
may be no favoritism back of the orders,
but there is a suspicion of it, and for that
reason the public will be eager to have the
whole history of the movement made
clear.
As 1t is not usual to send regiments from
Northern States to the South at this season
of the year, the order is the more remark
able inasmuch as it requires the regiment
to be prepared to move practically at
once Why should there be such rush
when there is no apparent reason for il :?
Why could not the removal have been
made as is customary at a later and cooler
season OF the year2 There are many and
good reasons why the Fifth should remain
in San Francisco but we know of nona
why 1t should be removed.

NATURAL ECONOMIC FACTS.

A recent issue of the New York Journal,
which is owned by the proprietor
of the San Francisco Examiner, who
is the owner of 100000 OF silver
mining stock, revels in this kind of
fallacious reasoning, gIaring contradic-
tions and illogical conclusions to inveigie
the people into electing Bryan so as to
double the value of his silver mines:
Under free coinage the United States Gov
ernmen would establish fixed and unlim.
tied demand for SILVER at price of 81 20 per
ounce, ayable in silver dollars The man
who took to the mint 37l1S grains of pure sill
yer would get silver dollar. The supply OF
silver is fixed by Eature, not by mans actiy-
tiles, and the increased demand, an absolutely
unlimited demand made by great and always
solvent purchaser, would instantly raise the
price of the bullion to the mint price.
1t is very true, as the Journal saws, any
one could, If silver coinage were free and
unlimited, take 3711S grains of fine silver.
and have them converted into disk with
zone dollar stamped upon 1t; but that
would no more fix the price of silver bullion
in the merchandise market than would the
conversion OF wheat into flour by the
miller fix the price OF wheat in the grain
mar ket. The point that the Journal
makes, whether purposeIy to mislead and
deceive or through ignorance, is that
under free and unlimited silver coinage
the Government would practically be the
, purchaser of offerings of the raw material.
and thus double the market price of
bullion, and arbitrarily maintain that
price IN the metal market.
Under free coinage the Government
c0uld not even fha T1.,%a,oJ
editor and proprietor should know. be
purchaser of the metal il it would, and
hence there could be no mint price," To
make price for an article there must be
seller and buyer. but free coinage pro-
vides for neither, hence there could be no
such thing as Government price for sill
yer.
During and for some years prior to 1873
nature did not supply quite enough to
meet the demand. and consequently the
market price of 37l1s grains of pure silver
ranged as high as 104 cents, but immedi-
ately thereafter nature grew so liberal with
her supply that the demand could not
consume 1t all, and SO the market price
OF 371H grains, including the prod uct
OF the Journal ESdminer's mines, went
down to about so cents. Prior to 1873
when the mints were open to the free
coinage of silver, the mint price" exerted
no influence upon the commercial price OF
silver. Had Ii exerted any influence 37lL
graius of silver would not have been
worth above nor below the value of 100
cents; but as matter OF fact silver bull
lion had commercial value of more than
100 cents for 37l1l grains :rom 1884 until

FOR BREAD AND BUTTER.

The workingmen of this country are be
ginning to realize that the main Issue in
this campaign is one of bread and butter
rather than of forms of money. Mr..
Bryan's admission that 1--WE would, no
doubt, have panic at first after the ador-
tion of free coinage" has set wage-earners
to wondering how free coinage could
inaugurate a panic if free coinage is
what is needed to advance prices and
make good times. ana well may they
wonder. Not few working people es-
poused Brvan's free silver scheme when it
was new and fresh, but the logical argu-
ments of the advocates of true bimetal-
lism, together with their own sober Sec
ond thought, have convinced them that
bread and butter is not to be had by the
operation of policy that its defenders
admit would start in by causing busi-
ness panic.
Wage-earners, especially those employed
by manufacturing enterprises, are begin
ming to understand the full import of
Bryan declaration in Congress, that "a
tariff of 10 per cent levied purposely for
protection was just as indefensible as
tariff for 1000 per cent" They now know
that Bryan stands for absolute free trade
under any and all circumstances, and
they now know, too, that such a policy
would mean the surrender of all our goods
and wares markets to foreign cheap labor.
Hence it is that workIngmen are making
this bread-and- butter rather than a free
trade and free-silver campaign. They now
quite agree with Major Mckinley that
wha' is wanted is not open mints for the
unlimited coinage Of the silver of the
world, but open mills for the full and un-
restricted labor of American workingmen.
Wage-earners now understand that it is
free trade and not protection that makes
crowns of thorns to press the brow of
labor, and that next to silver monometal-
lism Mr. Bryan regards free trade as the
most essential thing for them. They are
beginning to understand, too, that Bryan's
election would mean still greater indus
trial stagnation and larger number of
idle workingmen. All these things work.
ingmen understand. and it would be re-
fection upon their intelligence to say that
the question OF bread and butter does not
concern them. This is Iabor's campaign
for plenty of work and good wages.

THE WoRKlNGMAN NOT EASILY
FOOLED.
Rochester Post.Express.

In his Chicago speech Bryan quoted ap-
provingly Lincoln's remark that "no men are
more worthy TO be trusted than those who toll
up from poverty" But the burden OF Bryan's
talk is that just as soon as a man has toiled up
and left poverty behind him he is not to be
trusted, but is TO be regarded with suspicion
by those still struggling below. The American
work ingman is not easily fooled. He must
have taken the measure OF Bryan before this.
1t must have occurred to him that candidate
who, while protesting ardent affection for the
poor man, is nevertheless backing a little
scheme, which, II it went through, would do
the wage-earners out of half their wages, is
as q guide.

THE POLITICAL DUTY OF GALL
F0RNIANS.

The greatness of State depends upon
the will, the energy and the industry of
Its citizens. Unless people are deter
mined to make a great commonwealth
they will never upbuild one. These things
are trulsms. Every intelligent man
knows them. It follows as a consequence
that every man who wishes to see Califor-
MIA become a great State must work for
that object. He must support that party
whose political purposes move to noble
ends rather than one which exists only
for the discontented and the envious.
You who are Californians are we'll aware
of the great possibilities of the State.
You know that in the production of raw
material it is excessively rich. You know
that in the industry ana ambition of its
people it is perhaps superior to any
similar territory on earth. You know
that it has been blessed by nature above
all other lands. You know that its poiti-
cal and social organization place it in the
front rank of American communities.
You know that with resolute and WELL
directed effort on the part of its people
California may be made the scene of the
highest civilization known to history.
This being so, it is clearly your duty to
help forward that work. You owe it to
yourself and your neighbor to promote
not only your own industry. but his also.
You serve your State and your country
when you serve yourself and your fellow
man. Intelligent self-lnterest and patriot
ism are identical.
In this campaign it is not difficult for
you to determine which party to join,

pense of the Slater
1t was said of old by Cicero, "Man never
works so godIike as in the building of a
nation" Surely every patriotic man
would like to take part and do Loyal
share in the sublime work of upbuilding
the American Nation and the mighty CIV
ilization that is to be on the Pacific Coast.
You can each and all OF you take a part in
that work. Though you may have no di-
rect profit from particular enterprise,
you can help to build it up by voting to
give 1t adequate protection. Though
your efforts may not be widely known,
yo1 can none the less be helper in ad-
vancing every Californian industry from
the growing of delicate fruits to the con-
siruction of iron warships. The choice is
before you. The issue is in your hands.

reason. THE CALL is steadily climbing up in
