PROSPERITY ASSURED.

Republican victory has been immediate
ly followed by prosperity. In place of the
panic which resulted from the election of
Cleveland We have the public confidence
revived by the election of Mckinley. The
news of the day abounds with evidences
that the good times so long waited for
have arrived. Business has resumed and
in few days the circulation oil money in
all the channels of trade will afford oppor-
tunities for work and wages 10 all who
need them.
In this City, in this State, and through
out the Republic, reports are coming of
renewed activity in industry and enter
prise. Every class of business has been
affected TO a greater or less extent. Every
city in the Union reports the immediate
opening OF mills which have long been
closed, and in every State there are an
nouncements OF rise in the prices of the
products upon which the people live.
From Chicago comes the news that the
Illinois Steel Company has opened up
works employing $500 men; the knitting
mills of Hagerstown, Pa, have started up
with a full force OF hands; the carworks of
Jeffersonsville, Ind, have employed $500
additional men. From Baltimore comes
the news that $16.000,O0U is ready for IN
vestment in Maryland enterprises, and so
all over the Eastern States il is felt that
with a return of confidence prosperity is
already here.
In this State and City prospects are
equally good. AS was reported in our
local columns on Friday the Valley road
directors are preparing bonds with view
of constructing the road southwark from
Fresno and in other directions. Julian
Sonntag of the California Miners Asso-
ciation and president OF the Manufact-
urers' and Producers Association pre-
diets improved activity and business at
once. NJ. +. Smith, the borax king, de-
clares that he will put 200 men to work as
a result of the election of Mckinley, and
G. III. Umbsen speaks of a bicycle factory,
a cracker factory and gun factory Tor
which capitals forthcoming in this City.
1t matters not, therefore, in what direc-
tion we look we see not merely signs of
returning prosperity, but clear evidences

+" THE CALL" N he CAMPAIGN.
Haywards Journal

The election is over and the fact that the
standard bearers of the Republican party have
carried California is due in great measure
to the efforts of that great metropolitan daily
the San Francisco CALL. Its editorials ap-
pealed to the intelligent voters of the State
and in a measure the triumph of protection
and sound money is due to the array of valua-
bic facts on silver and protection, questions
which appeared daily in that great journal.
The people OF the Stats owe debt of gratitude
TO this great daily, for through its influence it
has removed California from the doubtful col
umn and placed it in line where it will cast
It's vote for patriotism, protection and pros
