A SIGHT WHICH PLEASED COUNTRY EDITOR ON
HIS VIsTT TO SAN Francisco.

SIGHT WHICH PLEASED COUNTRY EDITOR ON
HIS VISIT TO SAN FRANCISCO.
The following communication was recently
received by The CALL. It is only one of many
containing similar sentiments which tie pro-
prietor is constantly receiving and of which
he IS deeply appreciative:
Hon. Charles NJ Shortridge, the enterpris-
ing editor OF The Gala journal which
speaks tor all" but 'itself"-in one respect is
too modest. He should not be backward in
emblazoning in big black type upon his edi-
torial page the fact that THE CALL is set by
hand composition instead of by machine. We
are led to make these remarks by tho cireum-
stances attending recent visit to THE CALL
esta Dlishment In our endeavors to find the
genial managing editors sanctum, starting
from the city editors precincts. our wander
ings led us through labyrinth of typestands
and a small army of Notwithstanding male
and female compositors, all busy with the
typesetting and distribution and other at
tendant details necessary for the issuance OF q
''hand-setp newspaper.
We had just come from another daily news
paper once where machines" had largely
dispensed with handwork and the contrast
between the two establishments was to us
quite startling and certainly instructive.
HOW cold and uncharitable seemed the
machines on the one hand, and how full of
life, contentment and interest were the throng
OF compositors on the other hand
II the publc-the newspaper-reading people
could be impressed with the contrasts as we
were impressed we honestly believe the circu-
lation OF THE CALL-"a great newspaper in
deco as well as in name-would forge ahead of
all OF the machine-set dailies-and perhaps il
does Tor aught we know. Mr.. Shortridge had
no need to apologize for abiding to the fact
that ne was practical exponent of labor, as
he did in campaign speech a short time ago.
And, as before stated, he should not hesitate to
print IN bcld type upon his leading page.
~ BE CALL is set by hand compost ton" and
VINE ner he does this or not the public should
AZ au times bear this very important "labor
factor in mind and remember it SUBJ
stantlally. COUNTRY EDITOR,
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-09-05
OCEAN COMMERCE.

We favor restoring the early American policy
OF discriminating duties for the upbuilding OF
our merchant marine and the protection of
our shipping in the foreign carrying trade, so
chat American ships-the product of American
labor, employed in American shipyards, sail
ing under the Stars and Stripes, and manned,
differed and owned by Americans-may regain
the carrying OF our foreign commerce.-Repub-
lican National Platform.
When the Republican party assumes
the direction of the affairs of the Nation
three things will engage it's immediate at
tention, viz. protection to American in
dustries, reciprocal trade agreements with
other countries and the restoration of
Americas merchant marine to where it
was before Democratic in com potency drove
it off the seas.
There is no doubt at all of the ability of
this country to handle its own ocean
carrying trade. The idea that we must
call in foreign craft when we have goods
10 ship. abroad is preposterous. We do
not have to leave our own shores for men,
material or capital to build ships. We
have everything that is needed to supply
the worlds ocean commerce, except such
encouragement to the industry as shall
enable it to get on It's feet, so to speak.
Now, it is the purpose Of the Republican
party to give the required encouragement
Just so long as it is needed to enable
American ships to compete with foreign
marine service. The Republican party is
very clear and emphatic in its declaration
on the subject of an American merchant
marine. 1t takes no middle course.
California is especially interested in the
revival of American shipping. Naturally
all ships for Pacific Ocean service would
be built in San francisco, for the coast
country has every needed material in ship
building. The building of vessels alone
would swell the volume of general bust
ness enormously, but great as it would be
the value of the new commerce which a
well-established merchant marine would
create would undoubtedly be nystimes
greater. 1t is predicted that in time the
commerce of the Pacific Ocean will exceed
chat of the Atlantic. but whether it ever
does or not subsidized merchant marine
would make San Francisco the center OF
trade accumulation and distribution for
the North and South American coast of the
Pacific Ocean, as well as the money center
for all home and international commerce.
1t certainly is worth the while of Califor-
MAS business men to pay some attention
to the pledges OF the Republican party in
this matter, for, as a matter of fact, this
State must look to ocean commerce if she
would be commercially and financially
great.

No Republican candidate has ever appealed
TO the masses as against the classes, nor sought
to upbusld himself or has party By an appeal
to prejudice and sectionaIism, and no Re-
publican municipality has ever voted TO re-
pudtGte an honest debt, either public or
private. The history of the Nation cannot Be
Oritten nth the great leaders of the RepubIi-
cans left out, and eChatever stress of aUeather
aUe may haze been IN TO secure the vote of the
people, no Republican contention has oo1ad-
cred to the socialists nor taken off its 4meri-
can cap to bosU doDn before the red fa0 of
Gnarchy.-Hon. William E. Mason.

There IS an honest aCGy to make money
plenty IN this country. 1t is better way
than the one proposed By Mr.. Bryan and has
supporters-tO double the number of dollars IN
circulation By reducing their value one-hatf
1t has recently been proclaimed by Major Nc
Kintey. He Says: "Protect our american
industries, open our shops, mills, minis and
factories, and thus enable the millions of
honest, hGrd-aOOrking men aOw idle to resume
work at remunerative prices, to be paid in
good money, and so create and increase the
demand for farm products" DO this and aUe
shall then be able to pay Our honest debts,
both public and private, an honest money

Go through the list of prominent promoters
of Jfree-Siiver coinage; you apiU find there the
old promoters of the greenback party. The
sections that l0ere most infected with that
heresy are now most violent for SLIDER. 1t is
believed that If Bryan tcere elected Richard P.
Bland of Missouri aUoutd become Secretary of
the Treasury. When he WGs pressing the pas
sage of his .free-cOinGge bill IN Congress IN
1878 Mr.. Bland declared his true sentiments
When he SAID that If the siIrer men could not
pass a free coindgs act he ucds ''in faror of
issuing paper money enough to stuff dopn The

If any Democrat ,0dqats a third ticket, achy,
let him have ii. But, really, what need is
there for another ticket When the one all
controlling issue is squarely joined IN the two
tickets already nominated7 Are you for an
honest dollar and an honest country2 You
hare Mckinley TO vote for. Are you for
reputation and q cheap and dishonest doilars
Then Bryan IS your man. There is ticket
for each side already IN the field, and there
cannot be three sides TO that question.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Bishop C. D. Foss, the eminent divine OF the
Church founded by John Wesley, is making his

received great many calls from old friends
and people interested in church and mission
work.
The Bishop has been in the service of the
church long while, and has been stationed
in many different parts of the country. He

1T is said that men working in livery
stables are exempt from cholera.
BECAUSE prices are low is no reason
for starving or neglecting horses.
THE horse shows have done much to
develop enthusiasm for fine horses.
ABROAD only geldings are used for
city work and the brood mares are kept
on the farm
ATTEMPTING to drive a smooth-shod
horse over slippery, icy roads is the
cause of many accidents.
THE manner in which horse stands
still is one of the best indications of
soundness. If he stands with his legs
straight and well under the body there
is not much the matter with them. If
he favors limb or straddles before or
behind, examine him carefully.
