BRYAN AND SAMSON.
CongresSman'S Loud'S Eloquent
Speech Before the Forty-First
District Club,


The Republicans of the Forty.firs Dis.
trict attended the Mckinley Club meetin g
of that district in force last night to listen
to an address on campaign issues by Con-
gresham Eugene F. Loud.
"If you would get the Republican argu-
ments in favor of protection in nutshell"
he said, 'you would better study McKin-
ley's letter of acceptance than anything
else with which | am acquainted. | deem
it the most cogeDt clear and concise letter
of acceptance, EN- bodying the issues be-
fore the American people, ever issued by
any Presidential nominee in the history of
our Nation"
Bryan, he said, was more of Populist
than anything else, and more of
stumpspeaker than either, and while in
Congress all his efforts were devoted to
securing consideration for Populistic
measures. The protective issue he avo ids
entirely, and will do nothing but rant on
free silver.
The history of the Republican party, he
asserted, was history of honorable acts
and unselfish motives. while the Demo
Gratis had turned things into disorder every
time they had got into Office. He had no
doubt the people would show no hesita-
tion in choosing this time between the
Republican party and safe government
anu OeiHOCrdI1C L OpuIiSu anu CHaOS.
Loud was followed by Henry G. Dibble,
who made forcible and eloquent speech
on the radical and conservative periods in
the history of the party of Lincoln and
Grant.
Chairman Firebaugh compared Bryan
to Samson, who broke the pillars
of the temple and went to the grave with
the embled throng. The pillar in this
case, he said, is free silver, and Bryan is
clinging to it in despair. If he can only
get the country to vote for it it will send
the whole country to perdition to keep
himself company.

LAWToN ON COINAGE.
His Opinion on the Effect OF an
Unlimited Supply of
Silver.

Unlimited Supply or
Silver.
Israel Lawton, one of the best informed
men on the coast on the subject of finance,
has addressed the following interesting
open letter to A. c. Schlesinger:
VILLA LA JorA, NAPA COUNTY, CAL,l
August %. 1896. I
4. C. Schtestnger EsQ.--DEAR SIR: Our inter-
view few days since indicated that although
we differ upon old party lines we agree upon
the controlling issue OF the coming campaign,
and believe it is The duty of all good conserva-
tive and law-abiding citizens TO do all in their
power 10 convince the electors that the scheme
of the advocates OF free and unlimited coinage
of silver is unsound in theory, and if put into
practice will result in financial disaster the
like of which has never been seen in this
country.
Having had an experience of four years as
superintendent of the United States Mint at
San Francisco, and always taking much inter
est in the study OF financial questions feel
warranted in giving some facts and figures on
the financial situation as to the coinage of
standard silver dollars, and which you are at
liberty to use as you may see fit in curing the
financial lunacy involved in the proposition
of free and unlimited coinage of silver. The
Government for eighty years of its existence
and up to 1878 coined about 10000 silver
dollars.
A law was passed by Congress in 1873 by
which the individual deposits for the coinage
of silver was stopped, which law is now de-

outrage and crime, although it was fully de-
bated and considered and in fact advocated
by some legislators who are now proclaiming
their ineompetency for legislators by repudiat-
ing their own acts.
Since 1873 the Government has coined
400 OO0, 900 standard silver dollars.
If the increased coinage of silver dollars in
twenty three years at the rate of so to over
the coinage of eighty years before did not
bring prosperity and good times how can it be
accomplished by the free and unlimited coin
age of silver?
III all the mints OF the United States were put
into full operation and directed 10 coin all the
standard silver dollars they were able to be-
sides attending to the necessary gold coinage,
coins, nlckels and other small coins

When Satolli first came to this country
he appeared to side with the moro liberal
wing of the Catholic church, and in con-
sequence he found little favor with what
may be called the Bour bon element, at
whose head is Arch bishop Corrigan. But
if the published abstract of the report he
has recently made to the Pope be correct,
his early sympathy with the liberal wing
was simulated or lately hisksviews have
met with decided change. Apparently
it was by MS advice with the purpose of
crushing out what her regards as heresy
that Bishop Ksene was removed from the
Washington University, and that other
professors of liberal views in that in
stitution are marked for dismissal. OF
course 1t will be easy enough to discipline
Archbishops and Bishops. but that by no
means puts an end to liberal
tendency. That will continue just 80
long as the laymen of the. church breathe
the air of free country, and mix with
men who believe In free thought and free
church. This is not the seventeenth
century, but the nineteenth, and Satolli
can t set the clock back.

II the utterances of the free silver
Republican Senators as reported in the
New York World are authentic the pms
sage of the Dingley bill by the Senate
this winter is not quite 80 hopeless as
Mr.. Dingley has imagined. Senator
CLARK of Wyoming says he shall be with
the Republican party on all tariff legis-
lation. Senator Brown of Utah will not
attempt to obstruct such legislation by
free silver amendments. Perkins OF
California Carter of Montana and Pet
tigrew of South Dakota appear to be of
the same mind. Cannon is the only Re-
publican who declares outright that he
will insist on a free silver rider to the
Dingley bill or any other tariff measure.
The truth probably is that the election
has led many of the free silver Senators
to see things differently. There ara

SENSIBLE TALK,

Whatever may be the merits Of the bi-
metallic principle, in face of yesterdays
decision by the people, of course all fur
ther agitation of 1t should be suspend
ed. or at least until the Opposite policy
has had futher trial. The silver party,
we feel sure, will make no factious op-
position. The successful party will feel
1T incumbent upon 1t to restore the pros
porous times the country once enjoy ed,
and much is to be hoped from the efforts
thus put forth. Indeed it will be dam
gerous not to9fulfl ths promises of pros
perity so lavishly held out during the
campaign, but with the tremendous re-
sponaibil'ty resting upon the viotors they
will not fail of fulfilling what they have
guaranteed. Both strong centralized
government and democratic one have
their advantages: We only needed to
know which the majority of the people
preferred and we have asoertained. They
have given notice that property rights
shall be protected to the utmost in this
country and that the standing army
shall constitute national police. 1t Is
all right if the people will it SO, and it
may be for the best. So earnest con-
test cannot fail to be Of great utility in
rousing the vigor of the republic and
assuring its perpetuity.

A few days ago it WAS announced that
Gen. .sWeyIer was to take the field in per
son to administer the coup de grace to
the Cuban rebellion. If the despatch
from Key West is to be credited (and of
this there is of course some doubt) his
very first encounter with the rebels has
resulted in the repulse of his army and
it's retreat some eight miles. There
has been great dissatisfaction of late in
Spain with Weyler's failure to make head
way againsrstho rebellion, and his taking
the field in person is said to have been
the result of specific orders from the
Madrid government. If his campaign In
the field should prove failure Weyler
will undoubtedly be recalled. and his
army too very likely.

Mr.. Teller thinks it would be impolitic
for the silver men to show their hands.
The figure is suggestive. Mr. Teller ap-
pears to think that legislating for tine

pretty low view to take. A more
correct and more patriotic view is that
the purposes and plans of all parties
relative to the administration of the
country's affairs should be open and
above board.

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE MONROE DOCTRINE RECOG.
NIZED.
(Spring field Repu blioan. }

Whatever else may have happened to it,
1t is certain that tho Monroe doctrine
has within the past II months taken OIL
much less nebulous conformation so
far as our own nation Is concerned; that
it has, hardened and crystallized as well
as extended its scope. Ii has taken such
position in our foreign policy that it
needs no acs of Congress to give it pres
tige or strength. As for foreign nations
in general. their attitude also toward
this doctrine has changed since Decem-
ber last. There is now manifest tend
ency on their part to get the Monroe doc
trine into international law rather than
to keep it out. This is because they see
that 1t has come to stay, and that it
will be better In the long run for. them
selves to have it defined by international
agreement and nailed down within
definite bounds in the text-b books. than
to leave it subject to any Interpretation
an American government may choose
to put upon it. So the struggle of the
future may bs to get it into internation-
al law instead of to keep it out, which
must impress every one as a curious
sequel to Lord Salisbury's recent objec-
tion to the doctrine as "a novel princi-
pie which Was never recognized before,
and which has not since been accepted
