and General Brevities

evening, the speaker of the occasion be-
Ing Hon. jefferson Chandler, lawyer of
national reputation. who reused the en-
thusiasm Of his audience to the highest
pitch.
Col. w. w. Polk presided and poems
We're recited by c. T: Harris and Prof.
]. G. Clark. Mr.. Chandler said that
tariff was not the issues of the day. 1t
Is the money question. Congress as
sumes that money value can be regu-
lated. The dollar is made up of trinity
of legal traits, it's powers and not Sim
ply those of bullion. Gold and silver dol
lars are exactly alike. legally. There is
no honest or dishonest dollar any more
than there Is dishonest or honest
wheelbarrow. These are modern in
ventions born Of the distress of our. ad-
versaries. If wagons should be in such
hands that they cannot be used, the
only remedy Is to get new wagons Con-
gress can regulate money values
Among the consequences which they
say would befall us if more silver was
land and that gold would go to pre-
MUM, both of which are valueless.
Debtors can claim only the legal value
of debt in payment for it according
to the law. There is no question of bull
lion. Suppose you elect Mckinley. The
senate is already in favor of silver. You
would only fix it so that nothing would
be done al once. Elect Bryan and there
will be some result Immediately.
They say overproduction would re-
suit. The hungry man could not be fed
because there Is an overabundance of
bread and butter. He could not be
clothed because there is an overabund-
ance of clothes. Why don't he have
power to earn bread and butter? We
have two systems of finance. One is the
coinage of our own metal production.
The other is money borrowed from Eng
lish syndicates. etc. and which bears a
large interest. We have our choice. This
is an American question. Every man
marching in McKinley's interest ought
carry the English flag.
Ninety-f1ve per cent of business Is
done in checks and drafts; S. in coin will
do $100 in business. Send S. in coin to
England and you send S100 in business.
1t Is thus we grow poorer and poorer.
Bryan proposes and will free us from this
system dnrestore us the American
system, the development of our own re-
soruces. Ship away 900 and you ship
twenty times that much of commercial
power. If this system is abolished no
harm will be done the bankers. If you
cut down the rate of interest more money
will be borrowed A man can make
more by selling 500 pairs of shoes at a
profit of 81 than he can by selling 100
pairs at a profit of $2 We are not here
as partisans but as stockholders in a
languid concern to find out what is the
matter.
1t was announced by the chairman
that tomorrow evening the speakers
would be Shirley c. Ward, who would
deliver an address in English. and A. A.
Montana. who would speak in Spanish.
DE PUSH IS GREEDY
The Republican cohorts of Pasadena
are in peck of trouble over the dis
ruption occasioned by the determina-
ton of "de push" to play the hog about
the election boards, and at present writ
ing these latter named statesmen ap-
pear to have settled things with the
county supervisors so that their men are
appointed even in the precincts repre-
sented by the "other fellows" In other
words, while the time honored custom
of appointing as Judges and clerks Of
election the men designated by each
member of the county central commit
tee for his respective precinct has been
adhered to in every other case, when
it came to the purity" element of Pas
adena their recommendations were alb
solutely ignored and an entirely differ
ent lot of men appointed; all of which
stirs up very considerable amount of
wrath which with great difficulty is re-
strained until after Bryan's election.
For of course under no cOnSidera tion
can the forlorn hope of McKinley's elec-
ton be endangered by split in the
party ranks Of Pasadena. After Bryan
is elected the local fight will lose it's
interest, but the factions are evidently
as bitter as ever.
