SOUND, CLEAR AND SATISFYING.

Major Mckinley gives voice to the Re-
ance with force and clearness, leaving
nothing to be guessed at or twisted to
mean something else. The country now
knows for sure what to expect if he is
patriot and like true and tried friend
of the people Major Mckinley declares that
''The first duty of the Republican party,
II restored to power IN the country, will be
the enactment of tariff law which will
raise all the money necessary to conduct
the Government, economically and hon.
estly administered, and so adjusted as to
give preference to home manufactures and
adequate protection to home labor'and the
home market"
Thus the country is assured that if Re-
publican principles have the Endorsement
OF the people in Novemb Der the whole
power and influence OF the Government
will be brought to bear to Immediately se-
cure such legislation as shall be most con-
ducive to the well-being of every business
interest, and which shall give the wage
Garner the greatest possible opportunity
for constant employment at satisfying
pay. No other assurance is needed. As
sure as the Republican party triumphs
the industries of the country will open
wide their doors and invite labor to enter
and accept permanent work at highly re-
muneratiye wages.
On the money question Major Mckinley
will be Endorsed by men of all parties who
want to see every form of our money kept
at par under any and all circumstances.
He says: "The Republican party has not
been and is not now opposed to the use
of silver money, as its record abund-
antly shows. 1t has done all that could
be done for its increased use, with
safety and honor, by the United States
acting apart from other Governments.
This has been the unbroken policy of the
Republican party since 1875. 1t has in
augurated no new policy. 1t will keep in
circulation and as good as gold all of the
silver and paper money which are now in
cluded in the currency of the country. 1t
will maintain their parity. 1t will pre-
serve their equality In the future as it has
always done in the past''

STORY OF THE GOLDEN GATE
Stockton independent.

Joaquin Miller had an interesting contribu-
tion in last Sundays CALL on sThe Story and
the Glory of the Golden Gate" The object of
the article is to prove that General Fremont
gave the title of Golden Gate to the entrance
to San Francisco Bay long before the advent OF
the Argonauts. The Poet of the Sierras suc-
ceeds in this quite conclusively, resurrecting a
map which had been made by Fremont preyi-
ou sto 1S48, in which year it was printed
The old poet follows General Fremont IN the
Contra Costa hills to the point whence the in
trepld explorer contemplated the beautiful
Golden Gate, where he gave it its name and
from which point of view he subsequently, had
Bierstadt paint his famous picture OF the mag
nificent gateway to the States metropolis Mr.
Miller has rendered history timely service in
publishing the interesting facts in con nection
with the name OF the Golden Gate Throueh
all the narrative crops out the poetic nature

millions of dollars and create feelings of
hatred between neighbors is not the peo-
ple's ideal Presiden tial candidate. It's very
clear, too, that Chairman Jones of Bryan's
National Committee has no influence with
the young man. That is because the
Altgeld-Tillman com bine does not pro-
pose to let the young man slip 80 far
away as to endanger its hold upon him
should he be elected.
Altgeld and TilIman are responsible. no
doubt, for Bryan's treatment of Watson,
and the public is beginning TO see or to
believe that those worthless are working
deep scheme which does not mean good to
the country. These things, together with
Major McKlnley's talks with the "com.
mon people," rs Bryan puts it, are chang
ing public opinion very fast in the matter
of the importance of securing protection
for our industries and work for labor trst,
and silver coinage afterward; besides,
Bryan talks more about making war upon
capital than he does about the good OF the
people, and the people have not been suf-
ficiently educated to his theories to accept
them. At the very outset Bryan made the
m istake of trying to array class against
class, and it was positive blunder to say
he twas going to the enemy's country
when he started for New York. The peo-
pie had enough of sectional hatred years
ago. They want peace and prosperity

BRYAN MAKES THREATS.

It is doubtful il any irresponsible agi-
tator of the time has uttered more vehe-
ment or vicious sentiment than did VII
liam Jennings Bryan in his Albany IN. W
speech.
1t would seem that he tried to put all
the fury of class hatred in the declara-
ton: 1--WE ask no quarter, we give no
quarter. We shall prosecute our warfare
until there is not an American citizen that
dares to advocate gold-standard policy.
You ask why? We reply that the gold
standard is conspiracy against the
human race, and that we would no more
join it than we would join an army march
ing to despoil our homes and destroy our
families"
Mr.. Bryan says if you ask him why no
one will dare express the belief that the
gold standard is the better monetary sys-
tenn, "We" will tell you that ''the gold
standard is a conspiracy against the
human race" and ''we" will not permit
you to advocate it because you are ian
army marching to despoil our homes and
destroy our families" The man, there
fore, who believes in the gold standard is
despoiler of homes and destroyer of
den, Seymour and Hendricks were, ac-
cording to Bryan, despoilers OF homes and
the destroyeys'of families, for they all were
gold-standard Democrats.
But Mr.. Bryan's purpose is to in
augurate a class war-that is to say,
to set labor against capital. What the
thinking people will conclude 10 do con-
cerning Bryan's effort to kindle flames of
hatred in the minds and hearts of those
who go to hear him speak remains to be
seen, but Bryan himself must know that
the intelligence and patriotism of the
country do not relish that sort of thing.
However, the more Bryan tries to set
brother against brother and neighborhood
against neighborhood the faster will the
eyes of his misguided followers be opened
to see how dangerous to the peace and
prosperity of the country the mans pur-
pose is.

WHEELMEN IN POLITICS.

The Southern Pacific Com pany, which
oueht to go out nf politics itself, has, in
stead of doing so, taken steps to force into
politics other organizations that would
have gladly remained non-partisan had
they been left alone. One of these organi-
cations is the California Division of the
League of American Wheelmen. 1t has
been compelled to taKe the field as poll
tical force in order to obtain legislative
protection from the arbitrary action of the
company in imposing u charge upon the
transportation of bicycles.
1t is difficult to understand why the
managers of the company should have
imposed such charge when they must be
fully aware of the invariable result of
making such charges IN the East. Pos
sibly it is the consciousness of the possess
sion of virtual monopoly of railroads in
this State that has led the officials of the
company to believe they could succeed In
doing in California what could not be done
elsewhere. They have imposed the charge
and the only recourse left to wheelmen is
to apply to the Legislature this winter for
the passage of law similar to that which
prevails in New York and Ohio, requiring
carry them without extra charge.
The justice of the claim of the wheel
men is beyond question. Passenger
charges are fixed at rate which defrays
the cost of carrying certain amount of
baggage as well as the passenger. Every
traveller on the road therefore is entitled
to have that amount of baggage, though
as matter of fact in local traffic very lit
tie baggage is carried. The railroad COM
pany is thus paid for far more work than
it performs, and it will lose no money by
treating bicycles as baggage and carrying
them without further charge to any pas
senger who may choose to take his bicycle
with him on his outing trip.
The imposition of the charge is the more
unfair inasmuch as the use of bicycles
has largely increased railroad travel.
Thousands of cycIers take short ride on
the train to some locality in the country
before taking to their wheels, and num-
bers of others who leave town on their
bikes ride back on the trains. The very
fact that SO many bicycles are handed in
at the baggage-cars is proof OF the num-
Der of cyclers who patronize the trains.
They would not leave town at all were it
not for the cycling pleasure Trips that en-
tice them to the country. The railroads of
California as well as those of the East
have gained much from bicycles in this
way, and it is to be regretted that any
railroad company should be SO shcrt-
sighted as to impose an extra charge for
carrying wheels. and particularly SO when
all past experience proves that the only
result of such charges is to force the league
into politics in order to protect their in
terests by legislative enactment.

REPUBLIOANIsM GROWING.

If the race for the Presidency were ex-
tended to January the struggle for su-
premacy would finally be between the
nominee of the middle-of- the-road. Demo-
Gratis and Major Mckinley. Bryan de-
serters are growing in numbers very fast,
and the Populists are making life burden
to those who still stick to the young man s
fortunes. 1t so happens that the really
astute Democratic campaign managers are
against the Chicago nominee, ana there is
suspicion that German, Hill and Hoke
Smith are playing Bryan to- secure certain
local advantages, and that when the war
is over he will find that they were in his
camp for the opportunity it gave them to
have access to his campaign secrets.
But, anyway, it is very clear that the
people are taxing less interest in the sill
yer and more in the tariff question. The
recent talks of Major Mckinley to indus
trial operatives and farmers are changing
public sentiment very fast. Major Nc
Kinley has made it very clear that it is
better to open the shops, mills and fac
tories to labor than the mlnts to silver,
and the sober second thought of the peo-
pie is taking to that idea in way that
means the silver question is by no means
the paramount issue as they now under
stand the situation.
Mr.. Bryan's vehement denunciation OF
all who differ from him on economic ques-
tions, and his constant appeals to wage
earners and farmers to declare war upon
capital, are setting the people to wonder
ing if he would not be very unsafe Presi-
dent. The suspicion is growing, too, that
AItgeld and Tillman are the power be.
hind Bry an, and that if he were elected
he would be dominated by them in all
things. But whether it is that influence
or his own boundiess egotism, it is certain
that he grows more sectional and his
abuse of all who have accumulated
wealth grows more bitter every day.
1t is claimed by some of Bryan's friends
that he is really very conservative man,
and that he is trying to array class against
class to catch votes, but man who would
resort to such trick and SO disturb busi-
ness as to infiict q loss of hundreds of

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

The tariff and the money question are
the leading issues in this campaign, and
they cannot be discussed too much; but
meanwhile the people should not lose
sight of the attack upon the Federal Su-
preme Court by the Bryan platform. 1t is
said that Altgeld is responsible for that
particular plank, but no matter who in
spired or who wrote it, the fact remains
that the purpose is, if Bryan is elected, to
revamp the Supreme Court so that de-
cisions may be had that will not interfere
with the operation of the principles of
Altgeldism in social ana business life.
The question of the court interpreting
law from the standpoint of the declarations
OF the constitution is not to be considered,
says the Chicago platform. The Bryan1tes
want to accomplish certain things, but
which cannota be accomplished without
the sanction of the Supreme Court. AS
the court is now constituted there is no
hope of their being sustained in their
revolutionary schemes, and so the plan Is
to increase the number of Justices enough
to give the Altgelds a clear majority. It
will be seen that, with Supreme Court in
full sympathy with the aims OF the Bryan
AItgeld combine, decisions to order could
be relied upon.
Altgeld's chief reason for wanting such
a court is to protect him, when occasion
requires, from the authority of the General
Government. There have been times in
the past when the Federal courts were
very much in his way, ard he is quite de-
sirous that they should be reorganized
with some reference to his wishes in the
matter of handing down decisions. Mr..
Bryan is viciously anxious to tap" those
who have incomes from investments and
business enterprises under the guise of an
''income tax" and he wants Supreme
Court that will reverse the decision of the
present court and declare that it is alto
gether constitutional for the Government
to rob its citizens that way.
But the danger of Organism lies not
wholly in its purpose to revamp the
Supreme Court for political purposes. The
Introduction of the spoils system would be
equally as dangerous to the rights of the
people, but with the spoils of Office as the
reward for disreputable campaign work,
ard with Supreme Court in sympathy
with all forms of B-yanism, which means
the very reverse of what Republicanism
stands for, the sovereignty OF the people
would be turned into the serfdom of the
people. The people must protect the
Supreme Court of the Nation from
