THE JONES MANIFESTO.

Mr.. Jones of the Bryan and Sewall
National Committee now blossoms out
In the role of an inciter of hatred and
of bad blood. He has issued a mani
festo charging that If Mckinley is elect
Ell wages Will be reduced from 10 to 20
per cent He says that this is conceded,
which is simply and fatty invention on
the part Of Jones.
This Bryanite Chairman has put forth
Ills scare proclamation with q view TO
affecting the timid. Does he dare to
promise that wages Of workers will be
raised If Bryan is elected. and that the
cost Of living, if they are raised, will not
ccrrespondingly advance?
Jones calls upon all workers to de-
nand of Republican employers a guar
antee on a two-year contract that
wages will not be reduced If Governor
Mckinley is elected. That, he says, will
settle the matter at once.
Why does ne not call upon workers
for Bryan to make the same demand of
the heads Of concerns for which they
labor. namely, that If Bryan Is elected
the worker shall take no harm IN his
employment?
Let no one be deceived by these weak
end cowardly devices. The atmosphere
will be laden with them from this time
forward, and the bureau of mendacity
viii be active In the opposition camp
and grind out all sorts of yarns to
alarm voters and intended TO weaken
the Mckinley and protection cause.

IN SLEEPS CLOTHING.

It Is well understood. indeed some Of
thera have SO declared, that candidates
sailing under the title of Independent
Republicans are not supporting and
VIII not vote for the national nominees.
What sort of Republican is he who
while claiming to retain the title casts
his ballot for Bryan and Sewall? 1t is
masking, deceptive and dishonest
The man who Is for Mr.. Bryan should
not accept nomination upon a Repub-
lican ticket nor solicit Republicans to
vote for him on the ground that he is
Republican
Let Republicans stand away from all
such tickets and nominees Either sup
port the Republican ticket or its recog-
nized and open opponent the fusionists.
The candidate who Is not for McKin-
ley and Hobart Is against them. He
carnot pose as a Republican local nom
snee In honor. The honorable and manly
attitude is that of one thing or the
other. either a Republican or Demo-
craf and PopuhSt

The Government Stamp.

Eds. Record Union: have attend
ed a number of silver meetings during
the present campaign and heard
some Of their brightest lights give al
legged reasons why silver should be
coined into dollars containing but one
half of the market value Of that COM
modify.
Their contentious all point to the
upon the coin will permanently fix it's
value, and that there is not enough
money in circulation to conduct the
business Of the country. They pro-
pose to double the value of silver SIM
ply by aff1xing a stamp upon 1t. I
have theory which, If followed, will
help them out Of the muddle.
If the Governments stamp will give
so cents worth of silver 100 cents of
value. it will do the same for gold
therefore,
My proposition is to melt every gold
coin in the United States and upon the
quantity at present contained in a $40
piece stamp the magic characters "$2O,"
and, 10! your gold circulation Is
doubled at bound, and the value Is
permanent because fixed by the Gov
ernmnt's stamp.
If that does not put enough money in
circulation, stamp $40 upon your So
pieces and you will have quadrupled
both circulation and value.
While / give this plan gratis to the
white metal advocates, a leather medal
or old trouser buttons will be accept
able. Anything for more money.

A BUNsBY COME TO JUDGMENT.

The Bryanites in their desperation
have trotted out an official officer in the
English Bimetallic League to give his
opinion. 1t is published in double col
umn with scare headlines and much
display and many exclamation points.
What does it all amount to? Mr.. Bee
tons opinion Is, after careful summing
up. about this: IF Mr. Bryan's theory
is sound as to free coinage Of silver at
is to /. it will be we'll for the United
States. If the position Of Mr.. Mckinley
and his party is right it will be well
with the United States" Then he pro-
ceeds to argue that If SO be, then so be.
This Jack Bunsby expression Is tine
tured with just a little color in favor
Of Bryan But over it all is the cloud
Of doubt, the shadow Of theory and the
uncertainty of many ifs"
Rather odd, is it not, that at this
late day English authority should be
summoned by Mr.. Bryan, when we
have been told all along by him that
the English are against Organism and
that the English want Mckinley de-
feated. They dread the protection
policy. 1t means for English indus
tries a great injury, because the enor-
nous supplying England is now en-
gagged in at our expense must cease,
and our output of money for the things
our own can make will be to our own
artisans and producers and not to for
eipn manufacturers

DANGEROUS FORCES.

It has come to q pretty pass. indeed,
when John @. Carlisle, an eminent
statesman, a distinguished Democrat, q.
trusted official of the National Govern
ment, an experienced legislator. a man
with whom Republicans have not
agreed, and whom. as q political oppo-
aent, they have battled against these
many years, but always respected. can-

own people, discuss the issues Of the
campaign in a meeting called for the ex-
press purpose OF hearing him, without
being rotten -egged. mobbed and in
suited by the rabble Of the Bryanfte
party.
OF course, we do not hold the Bryan
committee responsible; Of course they
did not set on the dogs; of course they
regret the occurrence: but. nevertheless,
they are IN a measure responsible, since
they have preached the doctrine Of hate,
envy, M-will and bad blood. and spared
no pains to inflame men and bring the
country to the very verge of lawlessness
and disorder.
Men sometimes set in motion forces
over which they lose control. Has any

LOOFBOURROW'S QUESTION.
Did Not Wa mt to Embarrass Mr.. John
son.
(From the Placerville Nugget.)

(From the Placerville Nugget)
short time ago at the Populist
meeting in the Opera house D. T. Loot
bourrow said he wanted to ask Grove
L. johnson a question at the time of his
meeting, that he was in the hall but
desisted for fear of embarrassing Mr..
johnson. The spectacle of Loofbour-
row embarrassing Johnson is excruci-
ating. Ii ID. I. Loofbourrow had not
been afraid he would have asked Grove
L. Johnson the question. Inasmuch as
d. L. Loofbourrow' courage oozed out
OF his finger ends at the sight Of Grove
l.. johnson he was too scared to ask
any questions, although Mr.. johnson
repeatedly asked the audience so to do.
II d. L. Loofbourrow had not been a
coward and had asked Mr.. johnson the
question he says he wanted to ask as
to why Grove L. Johnson favored the
funding bill and other Congressmen
opposed 1t, he would undoubtedly have
been told, as is the truth, that the other
congressman are privately for the bill,
but publicly against 1t because they
are afraid of the abuse of the black
mailing Examiner
Grove L. Johnson stands to-day a.
man without fear of the abuse Of any
paper in the land, man with the cour-
age OF his convictions, the superior of
every California Congressman in every
way.

CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT-A
GOOD PLAN.

A great deal o< bluster and blow ID
indulged in by papers Of the opposition
and the orators Of Bryanism about the
alleged Inconsistency Of the Republican
party as friend OF bimetalldsm and the
opponent OF free coinage Of silver TO
individual account
It Il charged right and left, day In
and day out, that II the Republican
party is the friend OF silver as 1t asserts,
then there Is but one course open to
1t within the lines Of consistency. name
ly, to tndoGse the Bryan theory. The
was pimpled over with that statement
Could anything be more absurd? Be-
cause the Republican party opposes free
and unlimited coinage to Individual ac-
count does not make it the enemy, but
the friend Of silver. True binetallism
looks to the use Of both metals and
the maintenance of the parity between
them That is precisely what the Re-
publican party declares for.
Coinage Of silver is still going on, and
not q word of objection is raised. But
it Is not coinage for the private
purse Of bullion owners that they
may pocket AZ cents OF unholy profit.
We coined over 100000 Of silver In
September, and will have coined two
and half in October, and will coin
steadily doubtless. Yes; Republicans
are the friends Of silver. and the friends
of all manner Of honest money and good
credit and safe business. But they op-
pose, and wisely so, clipped money
monometallism, the single gold or the
single silver standard.
The party proposes to effect interna-
tional agreement in behalf Of silver, just
as the Democratic party demanded in
its national platform in 1892, which 1t
never mentions in these Bryany days.
It will be ready when in power once
more, as it soon will be, to consider
any means sustained by reason to en-
large the volume of silver. It has
pledged itself to no hide-bound rule or
ruin theory or doctrine. 1t Will con-
slider and legislate upon the very best
means Of attaining the common desire,
prosperity, employed labor, enlarged
volume of the currency, and protection
Of American industries.
To that end it will, among other prop
ositions, undoubtedly consider the plan
we have outlined in these columns, to
coin all silver owned or that may be
owned by the Government. To make all
manner of our silver coins legal tender
for $50; to coin no more gold or issue
any paper based upon gold in denoni-
nations less than $40, and for convent
ence of handling to provide notes to
represent $40 value of silver.
BY this plan the volume Of silver will
be vastly increased, the hoard in the
treasury broken up, silver be made to
do duty for all domestic uses, gold made
to serve US for all foreign needs and
not be driven from the country on spec
ulation. In the meanwhile we can
pursue the work OF bringing about in
ternational agreement upon standard
of value which sentiment even Mr..
Beeton, the English authority Of the
British bimetalffsts, admits Is making
strides, and gratifyingly drawing near
to success.
The record-union., 1896-10-24

or and loss to the creditor, why ''go out
and get silver and take it to the mint
stamped 1t will be along with any other
money at par with gold? Why not use
the other money in the first instance?
We submit that this reasoning in
circle ties I'D the reasoner inextricably.
Neither Mr.. Bryan, who has studied
finance he says just six years, nor any
OF his apostles, has ever been able to ex-
plain-nay. they have not attempted tt
where the gain is to come in If the debt
paying power of the new silver dollar Is
not to be less morally than the debt
paying power of gold, or greenbacks, or
treasury notes, or silver certificates.
The record-union., 1896-10-24
AN INEXTRICABLE KNOT.

Does 1t not occur to the thinking peo-
PIE that Mr.. Bryan has tied his argu-
ment into knot? He says over and
over again, Under free coinage OF sill
yer any of you can go and get silver in
any form. take it to the mint, have it
coined into dollars, and with them pay
Your debts" But before he finishes his
speech he always adds, Under free
coinage of silver the demand will. In our
belief, raise silver prices to 81 % an
ounce. or to par with gold" How, then.
can any man gain anything by paying
his debts In silver? Why not take any
other form of our currency in the first
place and pay the debt?
Unless there q to be gain BY, the debt

A WEAK ATTEMPT AT WIT.

When the National Republican Com
uaittee suggested that on the 31st day
Of October the old flag should be hung
out by Republicans all over the land,
the thought was born Of patriotic
spirit. It meant two things, namely,
that no matter how political differences
may divide us in sentiment we are
above all Americans and our loyalty
to the institutions of free government
shall not be shaken, and that we are
one people; and, secondly, that as Re-
publicanS we are proud OF the party,
and we are willing to put our badges
on the outer wall and let the world
count them. the chiefest of our regalia
being the flag of our country.
What did Bryan do? Did he say,
asks Mr.. Boutelle: Good! On another
day we, too. will hang out old glory.
and it shall likewise be the regalia of
our loyalty to the Republic, and we,
too, are willing that it's numbers shall
be counted?" No; he feared the test,
and he and his committee sought cover
by saying: Good! We like the flag
also, and on the same day we will hang
out the starry banner" That was
neither adroit nor witty. 1t was blum
dering and cowardly. It was intended
to discount the suggestion Of the Re
publican party. and to mask the Bryan
strength. The effect will not he what
Mr.. Bryan expects. The people Of the
country are not to be fooled by such
thin attempt at wit.

FREE SPEECH IN KENTUCKY.

According to It's own dispatches, the
Examiner" confesses that it's kind Of
chatter has resulted in an attempt to
mob Secretary Carlisle In Kentucky, be-
cause he exercised the right of free
man to speak to his fellow citizens. The
police had to be called out and the mob
beaten with clubs before Mr.. Carlisle
could reach his hotel. In the meeting
the Bryanites Kissed, threw rotten eggs
and did their best, but unsuccessfully
to break up Mr.. Carlisle's audience
And this is the free speech and toler-
aace of which the new Democracy and
it's mistress, Populism, boasts.
The record-union., 1896-10-24

Desperate indeed is the cause Of the
opposition, the combination of opposed
elements against the Republican party,
when they have to import Democratic
Congressional nominee into this district
to speak against the Republican nom
inee. It would seem that Mr. Mcguire
should attend to his fences in his own
section. The people Of this district are
competent to choose q Congressman
without the aid OF this radical and i'm
practicable from San Francisco.
