WHEAT AND SUGAR
In Saturdays market reports the fol-
lowing quotations appeared:

In Saturdays market reports the fol-
lowing quotations appeared:
Wheat, 6S3s.
Sugar, 1881.
Wheat may fairly be considered to be
at par when it sells for 81 bushel. Dol
lar" wheat has long been a synonym for
prosperity, and that grain gets as near
the interests of the producer as any
agricultural product.
Wheat last Saturday was nearly 80
per cent below par.
Sugar was 231a per cent above par.
A Republican administration and a
Republican majority in congress are do
ing nothing for the wheat-grower. On
the other hand, they propose to add $12,-
600, 900 year to the already immense
profits of the sugar trust.
Every fair-minded citizen who, hav-
ing the interest of his country at heart,
voted for William Mckinley and a
Republican congress, must now be
struggling with a fierce desire to kick
himself.
The herald., 1897-06-21
AMPLY VERIFIED

The story goes that a prominent Re-
publican senator called on President
Mckinley recently and told him frankly
that the Republican administration is
being held responsible for the delay in
proceeding with the San Pedro harbor
matter and that the Republican party
could not afford to bear the RESPONSE
bility for further inaction.
The senator's protest was of course
based entirely upon political grounds.
Whoever he was, it is not likely that he
cared snap of the fingers whether the
harbor is located at Santa Monica or San
Pedro, or, indeed, whether Southern CAL
ifornia has any deep water harbor at all.
He could see plainly, however, that the
peopfo-wcrc UcUnIrne rvrrrvv vv-DsSs.osv
their interests are neglected in order that
the debts of the Republican party might
be paid, and he deemed it his duty as
a faithful party politician to warn the
president that the danger line had been
passed. .-
Whether the president will heed the
warning remains to be seen. If it comes
to a final choice between Huntington
and the people-if the magnate insists
upon having his pound of flesh-there
need be no guessing what will be done.
The Republican party always sides with
the monopolists in such cases. AS
debtor it must do so if the creditor in
sists.
But even if the administration main
tains it's present unwarranted and out
rageous position in the harbor matter
Mr. Huntington still has congress to
deal with. 1t is a Republican congress-
to be sure, but Huntington may find il
less complaisant than the president and
his non-combatant secretary of war.
The Herald said, weeks ago, that the
Republican party and the Republican
administration were really responsible
for Alger's action That assertion is
now amply verified.

Two of the chunmiest chums in the

There is no good reason why money
for use in domestic affairs should be
placed on the same footing with that
which is employed in international
transactions. No nation provides money
for circulation in another, and very little
circulates outside of the country where
1t Is created. There is no international
money Of any character. The gold meas
ure Is not in the coin of any country;
it is standard by weight and fineness.
Our domestic commerce is fifteen times
greater than our foreign, and money
system based upon the theory of merely
accommodating and facilitating the lat
ter is crushing to the former. 1t is sac
rifice of the greater to promote the inter-
ests of the lesser.
The idea that sound money depends
upon paucity is fatal to our prosperity.
AS the boy grows, more cloth must be
put into his coat; and as nation in
creases in population, production and
trade. there must be an increase of the
medium. This is principle
that has been ignored for many years.
1t is as essential that there should be
adequacy of the money volume as that
there should be soundness. AS the civ
ilized world has been educated, paper
money has been regarded as representa-
tive merely; and to make it good it must
be redeemed in metal money. If there is
insuff1ciency of primary or redemption
money, there is but one remedy, and that
IS by increasing the metal money vol
ume. If there is not enough gold to |
adequacy of the volume of cir |
culating medium, there is no way of |
'emoving the evil except by making use |
If silver. If it will not go in foreign |
commerce, no one is harmed by it's use
IN domestic trade. Silver coinage is
Urged principally for the reason that it
IS the best known way to enlarge the
medium sufficiently to sup

THE CENTER OF ATTRACTION

ting proper example to the more preju-
diced and bitter party organs that have
scented political disaster in his coming
The Modesto Herald says:
Irrespective of differences of political
opinion, we will all be glad to give ex-
Candidate Bryan a rousing greeting
when he speaks at the depot in this city
on July Sd. He is a typical self-made
American, his eminence derived from
his brains and his eloquence, and while
only portion of us endorse his doc
trines, we are one in admiration of the
attributes that have won him distinc-
ton.
The Ventura Democrat reproduces the
foregoing as being from one of the ablest
Republican papers published in the San
Joaquin valley, and says:
How different it sounds from the
narrow, envious, prejudice -begotten
jibes. offensive to common sense and
decency with which some Of the big and
little organs are freighted.
The Tucson, Arizona, Star pays fine
tribute to California, and says that the
people of the Golden State will not be
disappointed in Mr.. Bryan's intellectual
force and greatness of heart, or in the
integrity of his sympathy with the peo-
pie. 1t then says:
The name. Los Angeles, will be ut
tererd by more people in the United
States on the Fourth of July next than
that of any other city in the world
That is unique thought, and withal
a true one. All eyes will be turned to-
ward this city two weeks from today.
All ears will be bent in this direction to
catch the words Of wisdom and good
cheer that shall fall from the eloquent
lips of the great young commoner. In
Mr.. Bryan's presence here the hope of
the nation Will be centered in Los An
geles.

The Sun Excepted

1t is refreshing to find Republican
paper generous enough not to be surly OF
concerning Mr.. Bryan's ap-
preaching visit to California. The San
Francisco Call says: I'VE are hospitable
people and we delight in oratory. Fol-
both of these reasons Bryan will be well
come."-Los Angeles Herald.
Wonder If the Sun isn't on the Herald
exchange list? Didn't we talk about well
coming Bryan when it was thought he
would come via San Bernardino, and didn't
the Redlands Facts go wild at the sugges.
ton, and rail at us with great rails fol
even thinking of such thing? Well, rather

them that we had received no answer to

bers of the Woman's Bryan Silver club
will always be found ready and willing
to further the interests of silver and

opinion, and the indications are that
