The San Francisco call., 1896-06-27

FOR VICP-PRESIDENT-
GARRETT A. HOBART, Of New Jersey
ELECTION NOVEMBER 3. 1896.
This is the day you leave orders for The
SUNDAY CALL.
Register at once. If you begin waiting
you may waitto long.
There are evidences that even Wall
street is inclined to boom silver a little
Just now.
Wherever there is an intelligent work
ingman who needs work there is worker
for Mckinley.
Mr.. Irish viii not bolt the Democratic
party, but he processes to be willing to let
the party bolt him.
In trying to straddle Mr.. Whitney has
let himself drop between the two stools
and finds himself hoored.
Patriotism, protection ard prosperity;
America against the world. That is the
battle-cry of the campaign.
To re-establish the era of prosperity we
must re-establish the legislation which
made that prosperity possible.
Popular assurance of McKinley's cleo
ton affects the stock market like an as
surance of the revival of trade.
1t seems we are about to return to the
practice of calling prize-fghts boxing
matches, and letting them go at that.
Republican organization is being rapidly
effected and those who wish to start even
with the procession had better join club
at once.
Without protection American wages will
soon sink to the European level, and the
comfort of the workingman's home will
vanish forever.
The popular voice which called for the
nomination of Mckinley makes it certain
that the chief issue of the campaign will
be the restoration of the Mckinley tariff.
The attempt of the Democratic party to
evade the tariff issue by talking of free
silver viii avail them nothing. The peo-
pie are going to vote for work and wages.
Silver is rising in the stock market as
well as in politics and on Wednesday was
sold in Wall street at 20 cents, being
an advance of ~ cents during the present
month.
The refusal of the Populists TO combine
American farmer has too much sound
sense to play into the hands of the British
free-trader.
California will never reach complete
development until she manufactures her
raw material for home use and for export,
and she can never hope to do this and pay
good wages without protection.
-S
Since England has appealed to US to as
sist in settling one of her quarrels with
Venezuela it seems clear the Monroe doc
trine has begun to get in its work in the
right place and with the right effect.
%
1t is said movement has been started
in Kentucky to repeal the Southern Pacific
charter, but after the experience of the
last movement Of that kind it is hard to
believe the present one will be much more
than wiggle.
There is probability the gold men at
Chicago will take firm stand on Cleve-
land's record as a platform, call them
selves the regulars, take possession of
the party band-wagon and let the silver
men snort, kick. rear and bolt if they will.
In his telegram of congratulations to
Mckinley Senator Aldrich of Rhode ISL
and spoke the general sentiment of the
country in saying, II believe the victory
will be so emphatic that the policy we
contend for will be accepted without eues-
tion for a generation"
The number of young men and s'6rst
voters" who are joining Republican clubs
is one or the most encouraging signs of
the times, inasmuch as it assures the prev
alence of protection sentiment. not for this
generation only, but for that which is now
rapidly coming to the front.
In 1860 Herschel Y. Johnston of Georgia
ran for Vice President as a Democrat on
the Douglas ticket, but his son this year
went to st. Louis Republican to vote for
Mckinley. Thus does the South grow in
wisdom and virtue and the sons of this
generation prove themselves better than
their fathers.
The freight-rate tariff of the Valley
road is not only lower than that of the
Southern Pacific Company, but it has the
further advantage to the shipper of abol-
ishing altogether the switching charges
which the Southern Pacific Company
makes always vexatious and sometimes
extortionate. Truly for the people of the
San JOAQUIN the better times are at hand.
