whether he be a Democrat or Republican.
l realize it is not the individual so much
as it is the principles he is to carry out,
and my vote will go to Mckinley even if
am Virginian anu have heretofore been
a Democrat.
II have learned that our banks do not
care to open up new accounts on the basis
OF free silver. They do not want our
money because they cannot use it to ad-
vantage. That is deplorable case of

j. r. Henify.

81 guess am one of those you are look
ing for" said ]. R. Henify, agent for some
of the largest lumber companies on the
coast and in the East, when addressed by
CALL representative who had been on an
active hunt for Democrats who are op-
posed to the silver policy. ~ cannot say
that l am scientifically posted on this
question, but as Democrat hold to the
belief that whatever entails hardship and
suffering on the great masses OF the people
cannot be sound Democratic policy. AS
said l pretend to no scientific knowledge
of the question, but / recall several Incl
dents III my own commercial experience
which seem to illustrate most effectively
the evil results which would follow the
free coinage of silver in this country.
When | was working for large lum Der
firm here several years ago complicated
gold and silver conditions prevailed.
''The head of the firm used to go out and
buy silver from the brokers with which to
pay the drafts Of the lumbermen from the
woods and all our other employees, and we
saved enough monthly TO defray the ex-
penses of the Office. That is to say, the
workingmen in the mills and in the yards
lost enough on their silver wages to pay
the salaries of four or five high-priced
clerks and other Office expenses. My
father also had a tough experience with
silver when he came out here, some time
before the date of the incident first referred
to, with a lot of greenbacks. Ny expert
ence leads me to believe that any money
policy that causes the poor man to suffer
loss and bear the burden of the evil is
ubiquitous. am Democrat and always
have voted my party ticket, but / am go
ing to cast my ballot for Mckinley and
sound money this time"

Anaheim indorse the resolution, but state
that it is their belief the Government
should use its best efforts with foreign
countries so that the silver coin could be
placed in more general circulation. This,
they believe, would result in increased
prosperity for the country.
D. Fl. Snodgrass of the Bank of Selma
expresses qualification at the action of
the committee, and states the directors
of the institution he represents are heartily
in favor OF the single standard. LET the
work OF education on the financial ques-
ton go on, he says. 1.-The brains of the
country are already on the right side"
P M. Maylor of Berkeley. after approx
ing of the resolution, expressed the opinion
that we are using more silver now than
would be used on a free silver basis.
From Los Angeles banks were received
hearty Endorsements of the resolution.
The First National Bank Of that place
urges that the wrong i'm pression of the
sentiment of the business men on this
question be as effectively as possible cor
rected.
David Henderson of the Santa Clara
Valley Bank declared himself and the
directors he represented heartily in favor
of the resolution. He expressed surprise
that any thinking man could for mo-
ment indorse the sentiments of the free
silver advocates and urged upon the Cali
fornia Bankers Association that it con-
tinue TO vigorously combat the ignorance
and error which Is seeking to destroy the
Nations credit.
Of course the San Francisco. Oakland,
San Jose and Sacramento banks responded
emphatically in favor of single standard
that is recognized by International trade.
1t was the smaller banks that are more
directly in touch with the farmers and the
fruit-raisers whose opinions the commit
tee awaited most anxiously. and now that
they have sent in their replies with such
emphatic and unanimous approval of the
stand set forth in the resolutions, local
bankers feel treasured and declare that SO
far as this State is concerned there can be
little doubt that Mckinley and sound
money will prevail.

1t is to the best interests of the country

lated in paying bonds, principal and
interest, in silver, that had been pur-
chased with the less valuable green
back prior to the passage Of this reso-
luton? How could the public creditor
be injured by receiving silver in pay
ment for bonds issued since its passage,
when the resolution states that the
government reserves. to itself the right
to pay them in silver? Reputation is
all right when the creditor by repudi-
ating can double his money, but it is
all wrong when he suffers loss. The
public creditor has no case. The hon
est dollar is the dollar of the contract,
and the law specifically says that dol
lar is a silver dollar.

strong, stands forth as the champion
OF the people, with every cord snapped
asunder that has hitherto bound it to
Mammon's chariot wheels. 1t will find
way to make its voice reverbeate
throughout the land, in spite the muz-
zled metropolitan press. The burden
of the fight viii rest, as heretofore, on
the shoulders of the Country Press.
The Democracy of Missouri and the
Mississippi Valley have an aOle and
fearless organ in the POSt-Dispatch,
but the Country Press had practically
won silver's battle before Col. Jones
gave US his Invaluable assistance in
securing the fruits of victory. The
Democracy Of Kentucky carried sill
ver's banner to the front in spite ofthe
C0nrier-JournaE and the acolytes OF a
cuckoo administration.
So has it been throughout the land.
The fight between the bread-winner
and the bond-holder for control of the
Democratic organization has been de-
cisively won by the former. although
the latter has had full and complete con-
troll of nearly ell the great dailies, the
administration. the party machinery,
and unlimited money. If victory
could perch upon our banner under
such adverse circumstances, in a fight
within the party, who can doubt that
it will again come TO us in November,
when we have our enemy in our front?
There is no personal question involved
in the present campaign. The candi-
dates OF each party has a clean per-
sonaI and political record. 1t is a
battle of principle, pure and simple;
being such the Democracy can strip
for it with perfect confidence in the
justice of its cause and in the integrity
of the people. From now until No
vember let the principles of our plat
form be preached from every hastings,
from every schoolhouse, from every
crossroads in the land. We believe,
with jefferson. that when the people
are properly informed they can be i'm
piicity trusted.
