MORE ABsURDITIEs.

After loading himself up with a fresh
stock of monetary absurdities Mr.. Taylor,
the Denver orator, returned 10 San Fran
cisco las. Saturday night and distributed
his new supply. He started in by asking
snow, what is money! Then he said,
1t is the stamp of the Government, not
the metal or paper of which it is made.
1t is the National power back Of it which
makes it what it is" In the very next
sentence he contradicted that assertion by
saying: at is claimed that there is ten
to fifteen millions of gold on the Pacific
Coast, and / know that there was an in
tention 10 obtain and transport this gold
to the East. and it would have been done
had not the loss by abrasion been found
too expensive"
What in the name of common has
abrasion to do with thing that is used as
money only because the Government
stamps it and calls 1t money! II it is the
stamp of the Government, and not the
commercial value Of the thing stamped
that gives 1t purchasing power and the
other functions of money, how would any
decrease in the weight of the thing by
abrasion or otherwise cause a loss in its
money value2 Perhaps Mr.. Taylor will
take the trouble to explain why it is that
q paper dollar loses nothing in purchasing
power by having a corner torn off or is
otherwise abraded. but that gold dollar
loses ID purchasing power exactly in ratio

SANTA CLARA COUNTY IN LINE.

The Republicans of Santa Clara County
have held their convention, and nomi-
mated their Legislative. judicial and su-
pervisorial tickets. In that county entire
harmony prevails in the party organiza-
ton, and large majority in favor OF the
Republican ticket is one of the certainties
of the campaign. The nominee for State
Senator from the Thirty-first Senatorial
District, which embraces the southern
half of Santa Clara County, is Hon. H. V.
Morehouse, who is one of the best known
men, as one of the most gifted and popu-
lar orators of California. In sending such
able and talented representatives to the
State Legislature, section honors itself
as well as dignitles the office. In an inter-
view, which appears elsewhere in our col
umns, Mr.. Morehouse aptly describes the
state OF public feeling in Santa Clara
County upon National issues, and there is
no doubt that similar condition is to be
found in the other large and populous
interior counties of the State. From
every quarter come increasing assur-
ances of sweeping Republican victory
all over California in The November cleo
ton.

he will remain for while. little later he
will go to Pasadena. For some time past he
has been looking after his interests in Oregon.
81 think that State will be all right for Nc
Kinley," said Mr.. Green, f'though it will be
close. Senator Mitchell and other Republicans
have been making able speeches thro oughout
Oregon. Senator Mitchell has always been the
friend OF silver.
Ex-Governor Pennoyer has been making
Bryan speeches, too. He spoke recently at q
barbecue at Salem. You know what barbe-
cue is and about the crowd it would bring out.
With the exception of Pennoyer nobody has
made any Democratic speeches in the State,
Business is pretty duh in the North and

THE NEW MOSES.

1t is said of Bryan that if he could for
get the Vermont and Maine elections, and
some one would close Tom Watson's
mouth, he would be comparatively happy.
Henever reads newspapers that are not sup
porting him, and he supposes the crowds
that gather to hear him speak are not
only themselves enthusiastic supporters
of his candidacy, but that they reflect the
sentiment of the entire country.
1t is stated that Bryan himself claims
that at least thirty-eight of the States
will go for him, with no State giving a
majority of less than $4,000. His estimate
is based, however, upon information fur
nished by enthusiastic friends, whose
wish is father to the thought, but he will
listen, it is said, TO no suggestion of even
possible defeat. He believes in himself
and has no doubt that the American peo-
pie look upon him as being as necessary to
them and the Government as ram and
sunshine are to vegetation.
Mr.. Bryan was unfortunate the other
day, though, in having himself intro
due ed as the Moses who would lead the
people into the land OF promise" {" The
crowd shouted ''Moses" and the Young
man was nightly pleased, but wicked
and stiff-necked old-line Democrat called
a local papers attention TO the fact that
Moses of old, after leading the Israelites
up and down the wilderness for MANY
years went off into the mountains and
was never heard of again, leaving his fol-
lowers not even in striking distance of the
good things he had promised them; that
in fact Moses did nothing but make prom
ises, and that but for the iDterposition of
providence every one of the people who
were following him must have starved to
death. This old Democrat is quite agreed
that Bryan should be called Moses" for,
he says. BRYAN will get the people no
nearer the land of milk and honey than
Moses did.
Whatever Moses of old did or did not do
for MS people it is very certain that the
old-line Democrats intend TO keep this
new Moses out of the land of promise, and
that they are able to do it there is no
doubt whatever. Meanwhile those who
wish to spare Mr.. Bryan's feelings will
not speak Of the Vermont or Maine e1ec-
tions nor mention Tom Watson's name in
his hearing.

WHY THEY GO TO CANTON.

Ten thousand voters, including 5000
railway operatives, called upon Major Nc
Kinley last Saturday. But thousands go
to Canton every day and it has become an
old story; nevertheless, other thousands
will go and keep going until the time
comes to ratify at the ballot-box all these
expressions of desire for the maintenance
of the integrity and honor of the Nation
In referring TO The coming of delegations
from every point of the compass and rep
resenting every line of industry, merchan-
disc and labor, Major Mckinley said :
''Such demonstration would not be pos
sible if the people of the country were not
menace which is presented in the Ma
tional contest of this year.
Major Mckinley understands perfectly
the underlying cause of all these pilgrim
ages to his home. 1t is because he has
been chosen to lead the people against the
dangerous menace" of which he speaks,
and because the people are profoundly
sensible of the importance of maintaining
the Government upon the old true and
tried lines they show forth their deter
mination to stand for law and order in
public demonstration. There is no doubt
at all that dangerous menace is pre-
sented in the effort of Organism to re-
establish the Government in harmony
with the theories of the Altgelds. the Till
mans and the Waites, but the American
people should remember that no menace
is dangerous except when they fail to do
their duty.
1t would be difficult for Californians to
join the throngs at Canton, for the dis
tance is too great to make journeying
there at all convenient. but there are very
many other ways to give assurance that
the people Of the coast are in hearty SYM
pathy with the purpose of these who do
visit Major Mckinley at his home. 1t
may be said that California is rather more
interested in the overthrow of Organism
than many of the other communities.
California is developing industrial and
agricultural interests which only need the
encouragement they have the right to ex-
pect from the Government TO make them
great, strong and profitable, and we know
positively that Mr.. Bryan denies that
To ose interests have any right to dem and
or expect that the Government will stand
between them and destructive attacks
upon them by other countries. Mr.. Bryan
does not believe California should grow in
any direction that protection is required
to make such growth sure and profitable.
Surely, then, California should make such
public demonstration as will satisfy the
other sections of the country that she
knows of the dangerous menace of which
Major Mckinley speaks and that sne is
battling against it. With protection as
sured and its auxiliary commercial agen-
cies, merchant marine and reciprocity
agreements. in full operation California
would soon stand we'll to the front among
the States as an indus trial and agricul-
tural commonwealth.

to the reduction of its weight below 25 8
grains of standard gold metal. If his the
ory is right, and money is the stamp of
the Government and not the paper or
metal of which it is made, then he admits
that abraded gold money is legally dis
criminated against, and that paper money
when ab-aded loses none OF its money
value.
1t follows, therefore, that if Mr.. Tay Ior
is correct, paper money is far superior to
metal money because it has privileges
which are not accorded TO metal, and it
follows, also, that paper money, possess
ing superior qualities and advantages, is
never at parity with gold, for the infe-
rior is never the equal of the superior.
II Mr.. Taylor will take the trouble to
look up the facts he will find that the law
makes 25S grains of standard gold. when
its quality is guaranteed by the stamp of
the Government, legal tender for debt,
but that it does not make 25.7 grains a
legal tender. notwithstanding the Govern
ment stamp. He will also find that it is
4212 grains of standard silver which
makes u silver dollar legal tender, ard
that 412 grains is not legal tender
The stamp of the Government upon
coin does nothing more than guar
antee the fineness of the metal. But this
Mr.. Taylor admitted when he said, in
substance at least. the reason why Pacific
Coast holders of gold did not ship it East
was because it would not be as many
dollars when it reached the East as it was
before shipping because of the loss in
weight in transit by abrasion.
Ii Mr. Taylor's logic proves anything, it
proves that paper money is far superior to
metal money, because, first, the cost of
shipping it from point TO point is less
than metal; and. second. because abra-
sion, wear and tear or mutilation does not
decrease its purchasing power. 1t so hap
pens, however, that paper money the
world over is mere promise of the party
or nation Issuing it to redeem it with a
metal money of specified weight and
quality. II that were not tine case there
would be no sense in coming either gold
or silver, for the paper money would never
require redemption. Moreover, with Mr..
Taylor's system of money-issuing there
would be no need OF Government reve-
nues, a bond sinking fund, or appropria-
ton acts OF Congress for the expenditure
account could be provided for by the
Public Printer. Mr.. Taylor should take
up perpetual motion, now that he has
solved the money question.
