fcrnia for help to place their candidate
their candidate is a friend of this State
they can give no satisfactory answer.
1t is a significant fact that since the
Demo -Populist candidate has been on
his canvassing tour he has made no
allusion to the tariff, except perhaps
once or twice to say that it was not now
an issue. Bryan has been unwilling to
call up his free trade record in Con-
gress, and his supporters in this State
have been especially shy in making any
references to it.
Now, there is no State in the Union
having a more vital interest in pro-
lection than California. When Bryan
vas in Congress he declared in sub
stance that the wool interests might
60 He did not care whether it had
any help from a tariff. Well the wool
interest by means of his vote and that
of others did go. The losses direct and
indirect from hostility to that great in
dustry have been nearly or quite S1O,-
OoO,OOO. Now, is any man n friend to
California who contributed by his talk
and vote to bring about that disaster?
THE TALK ABOUT ROTHSCHILDS.
Oakland Enquirer: In this campaign
we are hearing a good deal from the
free silver people about the Rothschilds
as the typical gold mOnomet ..llists. Be
cause a Jewish rabbi was invited to
offer a prayer at one of the sessions
of the ST. Louis Convention some of the
wilder set of free silver men started
| a story that Rothschild had cabled from
London commanding it, and we be-
lleve there was one modern Ananias
going around ST. Louis while the con-
vention was in session saying that he
had seen the cablegram. Yet it is a
| fact that if there should be free coinage
of silver and if 1t should materially
| increase the price of the metal few
even of the greatest silver mine owners
would benefit as much as the Roths-
childs. Not long ago they bought a very
large intereSt-some say -half-in
| the immense Anaconda mine, which
produces silver in vast amounts as
| by-product of copper. In the Brussels
Convention a Rothschild was one of
the English delegates and avoWed him
self silver man. President e. B. An
| drew OF Brown University, who is a
prominent bimetallist and supports Bry-
| an, certified not long ago that the
| RothschildS were very excellent friends
TO SILVER. III there are any voters VINO
| indulge the belief that by voting for
| free silver coinage they would do some
| thing to dish the Rothschilds''-and
50 much has the prejudice against the
name been played upon that this is not
| improbable-they are hereby advised
that they are fooling themselves. The
speculative financiers of whom the
| RCthsChildS are a type, are Shifty lot
of people, and they arrange things SO
| as to make money on both sides of the
market Like the cat, they always fall
| on their feet. The RothSchildS have an
| ticipated every great change in Europe
| in time to make money out Of it, and
| he would be simpleton who supposes
| they have not taken note of the BIZ
| metallic agitation, and cast an anchor
| to windward. Their purchases of silver
| mines are the best proof of it. When
a Rothschild appeared at Brussels as
| a champion of silver to the extent Of
| promoting its larger growth it was a
| pretty certain evidence that the house
Of the Red Shield was ''long on silver"
