THE APPEAL TO REVOLUTION.

1t is now clearly evident that the tactics
of the Democratic and Populist leaders in
the closing days of the campaign will be
an appeal to the preiudices and the pas
sions of men in the hope OF gaining the
votes of all who are ignorant, discontented
or enyious. These appeals will take three
forms: First, Mckinley will be denounced
as the slave of Mark Hanna. Second,
Mr.. Hanna will be denounced as the viii
Iainous leader of corrupt corporations,
and third, all corporations will be de-
nounced as the despotic coercers of the
votes of American workingmen.
All OF these things taken together con-
stitute a direct appeal to revolution. The
fusion orators and organs will decry every
thing that exists in our social order under
the forms of law. and will endeayor to
arouse the people OF one class against
those of the other-the debtor against the
creditor, the poor against the rich, labor
against capital, and every man who is dis
contented against the existing conditions
of affairs.
1t is for the intelligence of the people to
combat this appeal by wise words of pat
riotism, justice and law. The appeals of
the revolutionists are dangerous only be-
cause we have gone through period of
bad times. As soon as the election of
Mckinley assures a return 10 the protec-
tive system prosperity will come back
and the number of discontented people in
the community will be confined to those
who are either lazy, improv. dent, or alb
normally jealous OF the prosperity of others.
Fortunately for good citizens the con-
servative elements of the country have at
this time leader peculiarly well fitted to
meet this appeal to revolution. His
earnest patriotism, capable of every sacrl-
flee for the Union, was demonstrated
while yet a youth by his services in the
army. His wise regard for the welfare of
the people has been spiendidly shown by
his luminous service as statesman ever
earnest in advocating the cause of the in
dustries of all sections of the Union and
OF every workingman. His record wins
for him the confidence of the people, and
his earnest and eloquent speeches
strengthen and confirm them in their
faith that all is well with the Republic
and that better times are at hand.
While we rest confident in the assur-
ance that Major Mckinley will be elected
and that the threats of civil disturbance
will pass away, there should be none the
less resoiute expression of public con-
demnation of the tactics of the desperate
leaders of the fusion party. This is not
the first time in American history that
there has been an appeal to revolution.
The secession leaders tried it in 1860, but
the people responded to it bravely by the
election Of Abraham Lincoln, and when
the revolutionists attempted to put their
threats into effect united people rallied
to the support of the Nation and crushed
out once and forever the unhoIy cause of
sectional traitors. With an equal courage
the people of to-day will meet the cry OF
class pr iudice by tie election of Major
Mckinley, and the agitators of to-day
may profit by the experience of the agita-
tors of 1860.
Against the appeals to revolution are

ways attended by loss to the labor
ing classes. This portion of the COM
munity have neither time nor oppor-
tunity to watch the ebbs and flows of
the money market. Engaged from day
to day in their useful tolls, they do not
perceive that, although their wages are
nominally the same, or even somewhat
higher, they are greatly red uced in
fact by the rapid increase of currency,
which, as il appears to make money
abound, they are at first inclined to
consider a blessing.-Andrew JAG Sson.

BRYAN AND ALTG ED.

When the present campaign began quite
a number of Democrats who disapproyed
of the Chicago platform and openly de-
clared their hostility to it remained in the
party ranks and continued to support the
ticket on the ground that the men nom-
mated were not so bad as the platform it
self. These men acted in accordance with
party discipline, which all Americans re-
spect, and their course, inconsistent as 1t
was, in matters of principle, was largely
copdoned on the general belief that since
we must have party government in this
country party regularity is by no means a
bad thing.
The speeches of Bryan, Altgeld and
TiIlman have, however removed the last
ground on which these stalwart Demo-
Gratis could stand. They now see that the
ticket is as bad as the platform and that
the men behind it are even worse; that
there is nothing of old Democracy in it
before them save to vote for Mckinley or
to vote for revolution.
Two letters published yesterday make
these facts clear TO every intelligent man.
One of these letters was from Colonel s.
F. Norton of Illinois declaring Mr.. Bryan
to be d Populist. In his letter he said:
Our political allies in this campaign may
not have treated us as fairly and Justly as they
ought in the matter of representation of Vice
Presidential electors, and this seems to De the
chief cause of complaint, ior / have yet to
meet with Populist who does not admit that
Bryan Is the ablest and most fearless cham
pion of reform principles that the reformers
akn ~
years.
The other letter was from Hon. William
r. Morrison, one of the ablest leaders of
conservative Democracy, containing caus-
tic criticisms upon Governor AItgeld and
the contrast between his actions as pri-
vate citizen and his leadership OF the
fusion party. Mr.. Morrison says:
If belief in the silver provision of the Chi
cago platform is the only test of merit what
claim has the Governor on its advocates? His
leases provide for the payment OF rent in gold,
whether to him personally or president of
corporation is immaierial They show that he
believes and expects free coinage will result in
a deprecated silver dollar, and his utterances
for free coinage can have no higher purpose
than to deiude those who do honestly believe
in it.
The two letters taken together give an
accurate summary of the situation. How
can any Democrat support Bryan, the Pop
uiist? How can any free silverite support
ticket dominated by Altgeld, who is do
ing all he can in his business TO subvest
the cause of free silv r? Is it possible
that such a com bination can win the sup
port of any considerable number Of intel
ligent Americans?
It's not strange that the fusion leaders

resolution asking from the Legislature power
to devote $150,000 ITO provide work for the
unemployed" 1t is the same old story which
we have heard over and over again since the
triumph OF the tree-trade party in 1892.
Who ever heard of the need of such resolu-
ton before that? The organization of So
cieties for the purpose of providing work for
the unemployed is the one new enterprise
which owes its existence to the breaking down
of our protective tariff system and the estab-
lishment of partial free trade. II is the one
enterprise which a protective tariff will not
foster. but will kill. Vote for a protective
tariff, which pours money into the public
treasury instead OF drawing it out and which
provides work for the unemployed without
calling upon the public funds n order to keep
our idle peopie out of the poorhouse.

THE COMING OF REED.

The Republican State Central Commit
tee has received definite information that
Speaker Reed will be in this City Satur-
cay, October 81, and will make an ad-
dress here to close the campaign for Nc
Kinley and Hobart. This announcement
is in many respects the most important
news of the day. 1t will carry encourage
ment to every loyal Republican. 1t gives
promise of wave of enthusiasm which
will make San Francisco sure for sound
money and protection.
1t goes without saying that Repub-
licans, conservative Democrats, business
men and workingmen will unite to make
Mr.. Reeds arrival the occasion of the
largest and most enthusiastic political
demonstration ever witnessed on the
Pacific Coast. Never has there been a
time since the war when the people were
more in humor for such demonstration
OF patriotic resolve than in this contest
against Bryan1sm, and the presence of the
great statesman from Maine will add to
this resolve all the fervor that flows from
the magnetic leadership of one whom all
delight to honor.
The occasion should be made some
thing more than a San Francisco
demonstration. TIE City on that day
should keep open house and invite the
friends of prosperity and good govern
ment from all parts OF the State to come
and take part in the welcome to Reed and
the manifestation of loyalty to Mckinley
and Hobart. The street parade should
include marching clubs from all the coun-
try round, and Mr.. Reed should find HIM
self the center and the object of genuine
Californian welcome.
The time for preparation is none too
long, and everybody must lend willing
and helping hand to the State Central
Committee in getting ready for the day.
There will be grand professions in many
if not all OF the large cities of The country
ON that day, and San Francisco will have
no easy task to hold her rightful rank
among them. Earnest and active work
will be necessary to make the day what it
should be, and to that work the people
must turn now.
The knowledge that Tom Reed is COM
ing will be felt as an inspiration in every
Republican heart this morning. Under
the influence of that inspiration let the
work begin. Get ready to adorn your
homes and places of business with the
banners and emblems of the party of pro-
lection, sound money, law, order and
National unity. In every case let the
stars and stripes fly high above all as a
symbol of the Nation against sectional
ism, OF the people against class agitators
and of that patriotic resolve OF Republicans
and conservative Democrats to unite in
this contest for the honor of the Republic
and the welfare of the people.

BRYAN AND SUGAR BEETS
Norfolk fNebr.l News.

A Democratic Congress struck heavy blow
at the sugar industry of our fair State. One
William Bryan, who now aspires to the Presi-
dency, was member OF that Congress from
Nebraska at the time and helped by his vote
to take bread out of the mouths of our work
ingmen and diminish our prosperity. Our
people remember his kindness and his way of
showing his love for "humanity." They thor
oughly believe in reciprocity, and they will
return Mr.. Bryan's good will by helping to re-
lieve him from undertaking the arduous du-
ties of the Presidency and allow him to come
back TO Lincoln and trim up his lawn.

to mislead such ignorance as may exist
among the American people.
