NEWS FROM CHICAGO.

True to its policy of giving impartial
reports of all events, THE CALL has ar
ranged for news service from the Chicago
convention which will be in the highest
degree gratifying TO all who wish fair re-
ports of both sides in the great contro-
versy between the silver and the gold
factions of the Democratic party.
No men are better known or are more
highly esteemed among Democratic lead
ers on this coast than the Hon. John 2.
Irish and the Hon. James G. Mcguire.
One is leader of the gold men and the
other of the silver men. Both will act as
correspondents OF THE CALL from Chicago.
1t cannot be doubted that each of these
men will have inside information of all
that goes on. Therefore. in giving their
reports to the public. THE CALL has the
assurance that it will give the most accu-
rate account of the various moves made
by the leaders at Chicago of any paper
on the Pacific Coast if not in the entire
Union.
Of course THE CALL will not rely for its
news wholly upon Judge Mcguire and Mr..
Irish. In addition to their contributions
We shall receive full reports from the
United Press, which does not deal in fakes,
and also special reports from such trained
journalists as Carleton, Frank Mcclure
and John Paul Cosgrave. We shall also
have special artists at the convention to
depict its dramatic scenes and furnish
portraits of It's leading men. BY reason oil
this force we will be able to give a clear
and comprehensive report of ell the pro.
ceedings of the rival parties, while from
Mr.. Irish and Judge Mcguire we will get
the views of party leaders on the signih-
canoe of each event
The aim of THE CALL will be to give the
news as briefly as it can be given without
omitting anything of interest, and with
out reporting one side to the exclusion oi
the other. We intend to speak for all.
Our columns will deal impartially between
the various factions. We shall give the
whole news with no fakes and no padding
and above all no straining after sensations
or fippant and extravagant exaggerations
of what is said and done. Read THE CALL
and you will get all the news, ana, in
addition thereto, daily review of events
from James G. Mcguire and John P. Irish.

supplying us with all the manufactured
articles we want for our own consumption,
and little more, and that we shall not
have to longer call upon the factories of
England for anything. The esteemed
Chronicle will tn IN have continuous OBJ
ject lesson in the practical operation Of the
economic law of the free coinage of work.
About $40, 900, 100000 are divided up
among the people of the United States and
practically every dollar of it is the result
of the strict application of the principles
of the free coinage of American brain,
Drawn and industry. As we have said, the
coinage works have not been running much
for about three years and consequently
not great deal of muscle has been con-
verted into dollars, but the mints of in
dustry Will be in full operation by and by
when every wage-earner in the country
will be free to deposit his labor and carry
away its equivalent in gold, silver, green
backs, treasury notes, coin certificates or
National bank notes. Then we shall have
free and unlimited coinage of American
labor without asking the cooperation or
permission OF any country on earth.

AGGRESSIVE JAPAN.

Our political economists see danger
ahead for the industries of the United
States in Japan's wonderful strides In COM
mercial expansion. decade ago the en-
tire export and import trade of Japan
amounted to only SIS. .00o, 900, but this year
it will amount 10 considerably over $780,
600, 600, and includes nearly all arti-
cles of manufacture. The item of
textile goods alone has increased from
$500 000 ten years ago and reached over
$23, ,000, 600 in 1895. But Japan can afford TO
launch out and attack the commerce of the
older nations in their strongholds. Labor
is not very great item of cost in turning
out goods and wares. The factories are
pretty generally equipped with modern
machinery, and Japanese workmen are
quick to learn how to manage it. In textile
and other mills wnere children can be
employed they are given service at wages
equivalent to from one 10 two cents for a
day of twelve hours, and now that q
japanese company is preparing to operate
a line of steamers between their country
and the United States we may expect to
have ample opportunity to inspect the
output of Japan's industrial enterprises
in our own markets in the near future,
unless they are taxed to where it would
not be profitable to offer them for sale.
But there is a feature OF Japan's aggres-
siveness which we appear to overlook in
our wonder at her commercial audacity,
and in this she is heartily seconded by

done to give Buddhism a strong foothold

THE MONTEREY FESTIVAL.

The celebration to take place at Monte
rey this week will be something of a
patriotic observance like the commemora-
ton of the Fourth of July, and something
of festival like those which have now be-
come so marked a feature of California
life. Its patriotic significance Will be most
prominent in the public mind and will be
emphasized in every feature OF the pro-
gramme. 1t is to be festival in honor of
the raising of the starry flag above the soil
of California-an act which virtually made
this land part of the Union and estab-
lished it as a possession of the American
people forever.
In the course of the celebration there
will be much said in honor of Commodore
Sloat, who commanded the American
squadron in the bay at the time the flag
was raised, and this will probably cause
some criticism from those who regard the
old comm odore as one who had greatness
thrust upon him rather than achieved it.
We need not take part in this controversy.
1t is sufficient for us that the flag was
raised and it is sufficient for Sloat's fame
that he was in command at the time it
was done.
The greatness which came TO the COM
modore was no mere accident of fortune
like that which befell Marshall when he
discovered gold. Sloat had served his
country long and had risen TO high rank
before time, chance and circumstance gave
him the high honor of virtually annexing
California to tn United States, and max
ing this an ocean girt republic. There
fore he is not unjustly entitled to the
honors accorded HIM, and many a hero
has less-merited monument than that
which is TO be raised TO him.
The arrangements made for the celebra-
ton at Monterey are most appropriate for
the occasion, and ara to be carried out on
a scale that could hardly be expected of a
community of that size. Monterey, how
ever, has the true California spirit and
does things without counting the cost
This is TO be the celebration of a great
event in her history, and her pee5le in
tend to make 1t famous throughout the
whole extent of the country. 1t is to be,
moreover, something more than local
celebration, 1t will be State holiday
and State festival. All California will
take pride in it, and we may be sure
those who are able to visit the romantic
old city by the bay during this week of its
glory will account themselves fortunate,
both as pleasure-seekers and as patriots.

FREE COINAGE OF MUSCLE.

The London (England) Chronicle is not
at ease because it cannot understand.
among other American sayings, the mean
ing of "the free coinage OF muscle" The
expression is American, wholly so, and if
its meaning is mystery to the esteemed
Chronicle. we beg to assure our contempo-
rary that it is a very plain and simple
proposition in this country. To Ameri-
cans 1.-The free coinage of muscle" means
unobstructed opportunity to employ ones
muscle in honorable occupation at highly
remunerative wages.
For three years American workingmen
have had very little opportunity to coin
their skill and labor into dollars. Labor
has been ''demonetized" so far as it repre-
sents unearned money is concerned. And
what free coinage OF labor means" lust
now is that Americaa industrial enter
prises are TO be started up again and labor
is to be given chance to coin itself into
good dollars. No dou1t England will have
better understanding of the meaning of

In America. In their enthusiastic effort to
put their goods into our own markets the
Japanese would like very much to see
their religious faith keep pace with their
commercial advancement. And, strange as
it may appear, the work of spreading
Buddhism in this country is wholly, we
might say, in the hands of American con-
Verts- There are considerably over 100
organized Buddhist societies in the
united States, and each one is more orless
q propaganda. They do not call them
selves Buddhists, but the gospel of "Lord
buddha" is the basis of their faith, and
they have all the enthusiasm of the new
convert.
Ihelr hope is to see Buddhi triumph
over every other system of religion, and
TO that end they are working in wonderful
harmony. That they are sincere there is
no doubt whatever, and the steady growth
OF the work is giving them great encour-
agement. They are in communication with
buddhist priests in the Orient who trans
late the doctrine of Buddha into English
for free distribution in this country, and
they are always prepared to give the rea-
son OF their faith in public and IN private.
AS YET the effort to convert this country
to Buddhism is little more than in the
earlier stages of missionary work, but If
zeal ana honesty of purpose and money
count Tor anything, it may be that Chris
tian missionaries who are now wrestling
with buddhism in the Orient may have to
return to undo what is bel ing done to sup
plant Christianity at their own homes.
Verify, Japan is aggressive in more ways

THE FRUITS OF YESTERDAY.

1t is not paradoxical nor is it a contra
diction to say that patriotism needs to be
fertilized, watered and cultivated. Patriot
ism is really virtue, but the good of il,
in contradistinction TO its antipodes, po-
htically and ethically speaking, lies in its
steady growth and in its fruitage mean
while. A heart here and there abounding
in patriotism is not enough to sustain the
weight of such a Government as ours 1t
must be widely diffused and overlap every
where. A soldier who was severely
wounded in one of the battles of the War
of the Rebellion was ordered to the rear
by his commanding officer. After little
while he returned and asked for q gun,
saying there Is no rear to this battle.''
There is no "rear'' in the battle of duty,
but there are spots of in activity between
the lines which too many seek.
1t is quite safe to say that the awaken
ing to duty which the Fourth of July
causes from hamlet to metropolis is the
strength of that vigilance which is the
price of liberty. 1t comes, too, as the
timely shower comes to the field-not
neglected wholly-but which has been
passed by in the pursuit of harvests else
where. The heart of the American citizen
Is In the right place, but poison weeds of
selfshness. which bud into forgetfulness OF
the source of the right to come and 20 and
to plant and reap for ones own good,
would suffocate the hearts love of liberty
but for the strength which aroused patriot
ism imparts.
Therefore it is pleasing to note that
there was an outpouring of the people
yesterday in every community in the
United States to revive, fertilize and cul-
tivate the wide field of individual patriot
ism. 1t was day set apart for that pur-
pose, and the universal participation in
the Joy it offered and the satisfaction that
every one felt az renewing his allegiance
to the spirit and the purpose of their
Declaration of Independence will all be
resolved into mighty oneness with hith-
erto accumulating purpose to perpetuate
the principles of individual sovereignty,
which is the glory of American manhood.
