The San Francisco call., 1897-03-05

Mckinley is President.
We have seen the last of Cleveland.
The inaugural address pleases the peo-
pie.
We can work now with cheer and conf
dence.
Coming prosperity is now near enough
for us to feel the glow of it.
Prosperity will not come in day, but
every day will bring some OF it.
Let US get the Federal building started
and keep up with the procession.
The way is open for the boulevard, and
now let US open the boulevard for the
people.
Congress can be counted on to support
the administration IN upbullding the
country.
Cleveland in retirement will count the
millions he has made and wonder why the
people call it ''deficit administration"
II there are any free-t traders left in this
country they are so far left they are not
visible from where the procession moves
now.
1t will take an extra session of Congress
20 right the wrongs of the Cleveland ad-
ministration and it is to be summoned
promptly.
The new tariff bill can be counted on to
promote the fruit industry and the sugar
industry. There will be millions in it for
California.
Let it be remembered to-day in the
home of every workingman that McKin-
ley stands for an honest dollar and the
chance to earn it.
Good times cannot be created by fiat
Of the President, but neveFthe ess a Presi-
dent who works for them can do much to
speed their coming.
There will be obstacles OF course in the
way of prosperity, but where there is
will there is way to remove them, and
Mckinley has The will
Poor old Democracy, turned out of
doors, sits disconsolate at the fork. of the
road and hesitates whether 10 start for the
poorhouse or the lunatic asylum.
Many good things are expected of this
administration, but the best of all is
policy that will open opportunities for
labor and provide work for the unem-
ployed.
We shall forget Cleveland when the evil
be has wrought shall have passed away.
b,,t -,
be careful not to elect another like him
in this generation.
Mckinley will not complain of having
Congress on his hands. On the contrary,
he will gladly call Congress together to
strengthen his hands in working for the
welfare of the people.
1t will be the mission of this admins
1ration to open the factories TO American
labor and build up a home market that
will render the harvests of the fields
Profitable to the farmer
Yesterday there passed into retirement
Cleveland, Olney. Carlisle, Wilson, Hill,
Voorhees,, Palmer, Blackburn, Brice and
Villas. Nothing is left OF Democracy at
Washington but nameless fragments.
Mckinley has chosen his Cabinet well.
1t represents business, statesmanship and
patriotism. The selection OF such advisers
by the President gives assurance of good
administration and confirms the people
IN their expectations of a Government
they can be proud Of
Not much longer will goods used in
America be imported from Europe while
American mills are closed and American
workingmen are begging for employment.
We have got to the end of that sort of
legislation. 1t has been carried into re-
tirement in the gripsack of Grover.
To restore the protective tariff. to re-
establish reciprocity treaties, to build up
our industry, to expand our commerce
and to give unfailing protection to Amer
leans abroad are the tasks Mckinley and
the Republican party have undertaken,
and the people can rely upon il that they
will be successfully accom- plished.
The only cloud upon the horizon is the
Senate. That body has power 10 delay
the passage of a protective tariff, and some
Senator'S will certainly make an effort to
do so if not deferred by the expression of
public indignation. Warning should be
given to these obstructionists at once.
The country will have no patience with
any man or set of men who undertake to
prevent restoration of business and q
return to prosperity.
