HnerIts for Sound Money.
VALLEJO. CAL, Sept. 14.-Colonel
Henry G. Shaw addressed a large and
enthusiastic audience in Eureka Hall this
evening under the auspices of the Nc
Kinley and Hobart Club of Vallejo. The
colonel confined himself almost entirely
to the monetary plank, and in the course
of his remarks made many telling points
against the stereotyped arguments for the
unlimited and independent coinage of
silver at a ratio of 16 to by the United
States.
He said that with the destruction of the
parity of the precious metals, which it was
the policy of the Republican party to
maintain, California would share the fate
of Prometheus. She had brought, he said,
many blessings to the Union. The
neurological hero had done the same for
mankind. For his presumption he was
condemned TO perpetual Imprisonment t
and chained to a rock, while a vuIture
forever preyed upon his liver, which VI as
renewed as fast as it was devoured.
If California were to be chained to the
rock OF free silver, the vultures would
soon be forthcoming in the shape of the
specific contract law. California's gold
product was her liver, but the vultures
would not be satisfied with preying on
that alone, but would have to necessarily
attack her other vital organs.
Under the specific contract law the peo-
pie OF California had incurred obligations
TO pay debts in gold amounting in the
aggregate to more than $3.50, 600, 0O0 With
gold at premium, the people OF Caiifor-
MIA would suffer.
Colonel Shaw referred to the Federal
disbursements in the State of California
ali payable in gold, and called attention
TO the fact that as Solano County had both
the Mare Island Navy-yard and the Benz
cha cavalry post and arsenal within her
boundaries her people would incur very
serious loss i'll a financial sense if these
disbursements were TO be made in 5O.cent
dollars.
The coloneps illustrations or object les
sons were both interesting and instructive
Among his exhibits was an mbrella, a
silver $50 piece four inches in diameter, a
Chinese sword made of Monaghan leash, I"
strips of colored paper, charts and, many
other things, which served to make very
clear to the very dullest mind many of the
most perplexing questions relating to the
monetary issue.

Modesto Republicans Assist In Lawnch-
ing the Organization.
NEWMAN, CAL, Sept 14.-Citizens of
Newman and vicinity met this evening to
organize a Mckinley Republican club. E.
S. Wangenheim was chosen president of
the meeting. The roll was opened and
forty names were signed.
A delegation came over from Modesto to
assist in the organization. The club was
addressed by c. J. Needham, attorney, of
Modesto. His was an earnest talk, pictur-
ing the dire calamity that has overshad-
owed the country since Cleveiand's first
election. He said prosperity would return
to us only with the return of the Republi-
can party to power and the establishment
of a high protective tariff.
w. Z. Mcmillan, president of the
Modesto Mckinley Republican Club, then
delivered short address. He was fol-
lowed by T. c. Hooking, editor of the
Modesto Herald. The strong point which
he made was that only high protective
tariff would afford general prosperity. j.
A. Wagner closed with beautiful word
picture of the country under Mckinley
and protection. Three cheers were given
for the grand old party.

Dissatisfied With the Platform
Adopted at the Chicago
Convention.
BRYAN SUPPORTERS AT SEA.
CONSERVATION Follows the With.
drawal of Two Erstwhile
Leaders.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 14.-Dr. Robert
Caldwell has rendered his resignation as a
member of the Democratic County Cen
trail Committee because of his dissatisfac-
ton with the platform adopted by the
Democratic Convention at Chicago. His
resignation was handed to a member of
the committee several DAYS ago, but no
action has yet been taken.
In speaking of his retirement from the
committee DR.. Caldwell said he did not
believe it would be proper for him to re-
main on the committee while his views on
the currency question were directly OPP
posed to those of the Democratic party.
81 consider it preposterous, said he,
''for the American people to claim that
they can maintain the ratio of 10 to 1 be-
tween silver and gold. independent of any
other nation. 1t wou Id be no more absurd
to say that the army and navy of the
United States could whip the combined
armies of the world. If we are to have
commercial relations with foreign coun-
tries we must be able to pay for their
products in the coin the seller and not the
buyer elects to receive. The seller fixes
prices and chooses the kind of money he
will take for his goods. If silver is coined
free the gold of this country must. accord
ing to natural laws of finance, go out of
circulation among the people. 1t will
cause silver money to depreciate in value,
and as natural result cheaper the pur-
chasing power. You can call anything a
dollar you please, but no person or Gov
eminent can force a man to take a de-
preciated coin in payment for his wares.
my five years residence in Japan and
India furnished an object lesson as to the
fallacy OF free coinage of silver which
shall never forget. No gold is in circula-
ton in either of those countries, and the
silver is so cumbersome that few people
care CO handle it.
1T is generally the man of some means
who can do credit business, and on this
account / think the free silver idea, if it
should ever go into effect, will work a
worse injury upon the laboring man than
on the capitalist. True, it will and must
iniure both, besides lowering this country
to an equality with Mexico, Japan and
China. a pretty prospect indeed.
1.-THE farmer who has q mortgage on his
place and expects free silver to pay it off
will be the worst fooled man of the lot.
These mortgages are all made payable in
gold, and when the gold has been retired
from circulation by free coinage of silver
he will have to pay a dear price in silver
for the gold coin in which TO liquidate his
debt"
DR.. Caldwell has been a lifelong Demo-
crat, and several years ago was the Demo-
cratic candidate for Mayor. His resig-
nation, coming so soon after that of James
7. Rucker, who resigned on Saturday, has
caused CONSERVATION in Democratic circles.
