oecnuse the world is against YOU Trade at an
he aItine .ine mas hxed its value and it cannot
mercieI me world now says that the COM
soJTsSrnment cannot change it.
VII, nat u Is money anyhow? If Claus Spreckels
his M give me three little pieces of paper with
go s ualhe on them, do not want money l
coulo go around the world and have q better
nIne ne than you ever dreamed Of And WHY?
Db D9boause would have the backing of a man
whose enterprise, whose credit whose honor
whose sobriety, whose integrity is known and
respected ali over the world. Wherever the
iaue taine OF Claus spreckels is known, and it is
AhoWn everywhere, l should be respected
oeeeAuse OF his integrity, and that little piece
SI SI paper would be as valuable as the amount of
ngures upon 1t, because that man had always
peen honorable and had ALWAYS pafd his debts
ana because the world has confidence in him
ana II this is true OF man, how much more is
II true when the paper is backed by a great
ia uon!. 1t is not question of money that we
aIe 10 Iace-lt Is question OF protection.
II Is not the laboTer of the country that
walks the door a night and wonders how the
great manufacturing enterprises that support
you can be kept from failure VIII you Grip
pie the source from which YOU get your food?
remember when Government land sold for
SI 70 an acre, and could be bought Tor green
oackS that were quoted at SO cents on the dol
lar; know men who would drink three acres
OF land day and damn the Government be-
cause 1t did not help him. We want the INDUS
trles OF the land protected so that the men who
gel their living from them can have the neces-
sltles OF everyday life.

MT man by making him feel that he is not
the peer of his ueighbors in supplying his

When you cross the bay tomorrow see how
many American flags you see and hang your
heads in shame. Can we not build ships At
her moorings you will see the Oregon, the
pride OF the world, built on our very shores.
Yet our Carrying trade is done by foreign
countries and merchant SRrVipa is sprinnlad.
and by the Democratic policy that we now suf-
Ter from. The first two years of Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration lost to this country
$66ooo0,oo0 in livestock alone. His sale of
bonds cleared up for the syndicate $l1, ,oo0,-
0oo, aud that would build four ships like the
| Oregon.
Mr.. knight then answered few ques-
tlons that were shouted at him and
always scored point In corner of the
gallery were some Populists, and to them
the speaker addressed few words and
was loudly applauded. He said: at is a
good place TO be at this time, in the Re
| publican ranks. Men are every day cut
ting adrlft from their old traditions and
coming to the party of law and order, and
| they could not do better"
Mrs. S. II. Martin sang "Columbia;" !"
while many beautiful American flags were
waving on the platform. All the i'm
mense audience Joined in the chorus.
/ Marion Clark, veteran, sang an original
! song and accompanied himself on the
banjo.
D. C. McKinlay of Santa Rosa, the
laborers' representative on the Republican
! electoral Ilcket, was enthusiastically re-
! ceived when introduced. He said: The
Republican party of this State is entering
! the skirmish which will culminate in the
| great battle of Novemb ber 3, when McKin-
! ley will be elected and we shall see the
Republican eagles shining in the bright
ness OF returning prosperity. There is no
appeal to passions in the Republican plat
form or any effort to range class against
class.
alt sets forth the two great principles of
International bimetalllsm is declared for
without the repudiatiou ofou debts.
/ The republican party is willing to meet
the great nations of the earth in an effort
to fix the parity of the two metals. Our
| silver dollar has an intrinsic value of 81
cents. In spite of this, every dollar of our
silver clrcui ates along with gold, owing to
the sensible policy of our Government,
which places the gold behind the silver.
If this was not done the silver would fall
to its commercial value and it would take
two silver dollars to equal one gold dollar.
The value of thing is fixed by the great
law of supply and demand and not by leg
islation. No act could affect silver so that
! it would go up in price 10 81 30, as prom
ised by our free-silver friends. 1t will
| take the same force TO raise it as il :ook to
| lower it-that is, the united action of the
! ten great nations OF the EARTH"
The Rev. Anna Shaw was greeted with
the Alliance slogan. II feel now that
am almost politician" she said. "The
! women are as interested in the outcome of
/ this election as any man, but | believe
! their support will be eagerly sought in
! this State another year. | want to ex-
press the thanks OF the women of the
! country and State 10 the Repu hlicans of
| this county for the resolution indorsing g
! woman suffrage in the platform OF your
recent county convention. Back of every
man who took his gun and marched to
| the South to fight for his country there
| stood woman as loyal and as patriotic as
any man who went. She was LIT with a

care of them, to fight the battles of life

| than that of the man who went to battle.
| The women who ask for the ballot in
| California to-day are not pauper laborers
from foreign lands, but are women reared
and educated in this fair land, equal to
| any that ever breathed. In the peasant
man and woman we see the completion oi
/ a nations hope. the foundation of a conn
try's prosperity. The woman by the hus-

second to the man. When Mr.. knight
asked who it was that walked the floors al
night I wanted to say the mothers. Tap.

who understand the issues of the day and

that is filed to the utmost with patriot
