FINANCE FACTS WANTED.
The Mint Bureau Becoming an Educa-
tional Institution OF Importance.

tional Institution OF Importance
WASHINGTON, July 2.-The mint
bureau of the treasury is in receipt of
a daily growing mail from all sec
ions, OF the country devoted to re-
quests for information on financial
topics. The questions cover every
conceivable phase OF the cur
rency question and the inquiries
arc of all shades of political belief.
Most Of them want information that
can be easily furnished, such as
the total amount of the coinage Of
the last fiscal year, the amount of
gold and silver in circulation in the
United States or the present value of
the different coins, but many are Of a
more abstruse nature and would tax
the officials TO answer them properly.
The bureau is doing all it can to meet
the demand upon it as an educational
institution and Director Preston says
that he could easily dispose of rs, 900
copies OF the last annual report of his
bureau If he had them for distribu-
tion.

OF national self-respect makes for the sacred
ness OF the principle OF the independent
autonomy of every Government and of every
people. II is not forgotten that minding ones
own business is a primary element in national
policy not less than in individual ethics. 1t is
not forgotten that there are special reasons
why the Government and people of the United
States of America should refrain from inter-
ference with the internal affairs and the re-
ciprocal relations OF European powers. Nor is
1t forgotten that without reasons, plainly
extraordinary, any dictation, any censure con-
corning the policies of alien mpires, is an I'M
seemly interference and breach of jnterna-
uonal courtesy.
And yet, notwith standing all this, it is part
of the creed of genuine Amerieanisrp that
organized national oppression is a crime
against the common instincts of humanity.
our institutions are founded upon the recog-
milton of the inalienable rights of every human
being. Our history is yndication OF the
sacredness OF life and liberty and the honora-
BILE pursuit OF happiness.
In our pionship of this high ground no
question OF longitude race or religion or
statecraft should impair our loyalty or check
our zeal. Our history may not be without
blemish, but the blemish is to our shame
while the history itself is to our everlasting
honor.
1t is entirely American to hold that in this
age OF the world, when the community OF ma
tons is an acknowledged fact; when the i'm

SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY,
Preparing to Put a Ticket in
the Field in the Next
Campaign.
The Principal Fight Will Be Made
for Supervisors and State
Legislators.

The socialists of this City, and of the
State for that matter, are making prepare
tions to take an active part in the next
campaign. Steps are being taken toward
putting ticket in the field at the next fall
election. The socialists expects to poll
between 1000 and 5000 votes, and they give
what they claim to be good reasons for
setting the estimate at these figures.
The general public is no doubt in igno-
rance of the remarkable growth in this
City of this party of political economists,
for only once in a while are little bodies
of socialists seen in the streets preaching
the doctrines of reform and an universal
brotherhood. Many, too, confound the
words socialist and anarchist, yet the two
are as opposite as night and day. How
ever, these reformers have labored quietly
in all classes of society, and while
those who are affiliated with the various
sections may be numbered by a few
thousands their sympathizers are numer-
Gus. Some idea of their voting strength
can be conceived by remembering that at
the last Presidential election the social SITS
of the United States polled AZ, 900 votes,
to say nothing of what they lost to the
Populists.
In this City at the last election they ex-
pected to poll about 1000 votes and were
agreeably surprised by return OF double
that number
Since then several new sections have
formed in this City, Oakland, Sacramento,
Los Angeles and Ventura. In San Fran
cisco there is the Italian section, which
meets every Sunday in Columbo Hail.
There are about seventy. five active mem
bers, but their meetings always draw three
to four times that number. The same can
be said of the French section. Liberty
section is small, but growing. The Jewish
section has remarkably strong following.
The German section is a large organiza-
ton and has strong, active lot
OF workers. But the oldest and
strongest in the City is the American
section, and added to these are the Oak
land section, two sections in Ventura, one
In Los Angeles and one each in several of
the other larger cities. There is another
organization in San Francisco know as the
Society of American Socialists, but whether
that body will affiliate with he others
which are part of the National and inter-
national body, is not known.
AS stated, these Socialists are not idle
but are preparing to make a vigorous
hight Tor several places within the gift of
the people. Delegates are being sent from
each OF the sections named to form an
executive committee. The representation
IN the executive committee is one for
every twenty paying members of each
section. This body is not fully formed,
but SO far the committee is composed Of
Az members, representing 500 active Social

| lists. 1t is expected that when the COM
! mittee is fully formed it will represent
| 500 to 1000 Socialists in this City alone, to
say nothing OF those who sympathlze with
| socialistic principles:
The committee is doing what is termed
propaganda work, and laying out the plan
of the coming campaign. One of the MEM
beers last evening in discussing the move
ment, said:
The Socialists do not intend, so far as I am
informed, to put up complete tlcKet We'll
concentrate our fire upon seyera! o1llces, such
as the Supervisors and State legislatures. At
this stage of the game we have not the material
to fill every office, even II we had chance to
win, which we have not. We believe IN cover
ing the ground well as we proceed, and not
attempt TO bite off more than we can cheW, so
we EXPECT to meet with considerable success
this year. At the last election we polled 1000
votes where we expected only 1000, and but
little effort was made on that occasion. At
that time the Populists cut INTO our Young
ranks because those who advocated reform
were led away by belief that that party would
accomplish great things. The Populists who
were elected in all parts of the United states
have done absolutely nothing, and their voices
have not been raised in favor OF any radical
reform measure.
This has disguised their supporters, who
have fiocked back into the Socialist ranks in
large numbers. Those people are placing their
hopes OF advancement in our party, seeing
what 1t has done in Germany and France for
the people. We do not care for the judiciary
positions, and we will not make any fight 10
elect Socialist to the bench. In this respect
we Will simply vote as individuals for the men
least antagonistic to socialism but we will in
dorse them on our ticket. 1t is the lawmakers
that we are after, for in the making of the laws
lies more Importance than IN the execution of
the laws after they made.
Inc socialist Labor party is better prepared
to enter politics row than ever before, because
we can put more good speakers in the field.
Our work in the past has been educating our
members on social and political economics,
and while our force in numbers does not seem
large, yet nearly every one is educated and able
TO take the stump ana deliver a sound, logical
address.
In q short time our executive committee will
be fully formed, and our plans formulated.
Then we will proceed to enter the political
field in earnest, and organize the numerous
subdivisions of the party the same as other po-
litical parties. 1t is true we may meet with
defeat, and it would be surprising If we did
carry all we undertake, but the history of the
Socialist Labor party shows that at every move
it gains ground, and so far has not lost any
that it has gained
