How much of this enormous increase
was real money-that is. money of final
redemption under present treasury rul-
ings? The amount is given in the first
item-S171. 351,61S of gold coin< on
which the other $3.50, IS 1927 of this in
crease is based, for, according to the
policy of this administration, in order
TO keep u money good it must be
based on gold, not only the gold certi-
the silver dollars, which we are told
must be interchangeable with gold. that
is, they must stand on the gold basis
like paper, else they are no good.
Hence, we find that Republican finan-
ciers have increased the volume of
actual money but Sill, 000, 900, while
they have increased the amount of
token money over $500, 900, 900. And
thNe are the same men who declared
not only that we didn't need any in
crease in our currency at all, but that
the only legitimate increase must be
gold. Yet gold coinage constitutes but
about one-third of the increase they
themselves have made in the past
three years and five months. And over
SOS, 100000 of this increase is in
gold certificates issued against gold
coin, which is thus counted twice
two dollars of currency being issued
for one dollar of actual gold money and
the liabilities of the government, in
other words, the public debt, increased
to that extent.
The situation to-day is this: With
$24S, 843, 301 of gold coin in the Treas
ury December l, we have issued against
it gold certificates since August Z last
to the amount of Sis ,341 Alb, which
would bring the amount of actual bona
fide and unencumbered money of final
redemption in the Treasury on Deem
Der ], to the comparatively small total
of $780, SIS. 8SS-which in the past has
been regarded as pretty near the panic

DODGE FELT BADLY
Assessor Told a Democratic
Audience That He Has
Been Abused

Mayor Phelan talked to his Democra tic
neighbors out at the Mission last evening
He did not talk to all of them. for ALI of
them did not turn out to nsten-in fact.
the number of vacant chairs in Mission
Parlor Hall was almost as great as the
seats that were occupied. The Mayor did
not address his home constituents until
after he had finished explaining matte-,
70 the voters of the Fortieth District
IN the meantime the audience was held
py some spell-blnding effusions from the
other democratic candidates, including
FRANKLIN Lane and Washington Dodge
All OF them admitted that they We're the
best men that the voters could select to
run the city's affairs under the new
charter Not one of them denied that he
was suffering to get into office
DR.. Dodge put coating of frost on
Whatever enthusiasm there was in the
audience previous TO the arrival of the
Mayor. He brought his portable black
board with him and explained what a
perfect Assessor he had been and would
continue TO be II reelected, and the all~
dlence slept. Nothing was just right but
himself, according to the Assessor :
statements. He said that the whole sys-
tenn Of taxation was wrong, unjust and
arbitrary. Personal property gave him
the nightmare. because he could not To-
cate more than 10 per cent of ii when he
felt 1t his duty to locate at least 80 per
cent. Why; the people Of this city have
only two millions Of ready cash, accord
ing to their statements to the Assessor.
The banks have thirty-six millions to the
credit Of depositors, and who that other
thirty-four millions belong to is some
thing that has been puzZling me"
The Mayor appeared during this Inter-
esting part of the Assessors address and
the audience sought relief in applaudng
their standard bearer. When DR. Dodge
came up for the second inning he paid hi,
compliments to The Call. saying that the
paper had hit him below the belt when
he felt that he deserved being patted on
the back.
Mr. Phelan's speech was not long
one, but contained some startling am
nouncements. While claiming all the
credit for the framing and adoption of
the new charter for the Democratic
party he did not neglect to assert that he
was the only one entitled to enforce it
at the start off.
This is a business and not political
campaign" he said "The administrator
or the war in the Philippines has nothing
to do with it. II Mckinley came out
here and told you what YOU should paw
for your gas you would tell him to go
home and mind his own business The
Republicans are making a desperate eff
fort to force national politics into this,
campaign They have no local policy
and dare not come into the arena with
us The people have no confidence in
them. for they are affiliated with the
foval to their friends than they are to the

EXTRA SESSION
POSTPONED FOR
A SHORT TIME
Gage, Herrin and
Burns Confer.

Advocates of an extra session of the
Legislature maintain that the proclama-
ton calling the members together will oe
issued about the middle of next month
Two weeks ago Governor Gage, w. +.
Herrin and D. NJ. Burns held d confer
ence in this city and discussed the extra
session subject. The Governor favored a
postponement of the matter until No
vember S-the day of the municipal cleo
ton in San Francisco.
The point was raised that If the extra
session proclamation should be issued be-
fore the municipal election, and if by
any chance the local contest should re-
suit in Democratic advantage, the Re
publican Governor would be held ac-
countable for that result. 1t is said that
the proposition to postpone was not re
sisted by Herrin and Burns.
The Call therefore predicts again that
the Governor will call an extra session OF
the Legislature, although 1t is possible
that another postponement OF the sub
ject may be taken to ascertain the SEN
timent of the United States Senate re-
garding the admission of Quay on Gre
dentials of appointment by the Governor
of Pennsylvania.
d. NJ. Burns has not abandoned all hope
of election by the California Legislature
in extra session. The claim is made by
his followers that he can secure the sup
port of several members of the Leglsla-
ture who voted for Grant at the last
to ascertain Assemblyman Huber is the
only Grant man that has manifested any
inclination to support Burns. On the
other hand. information comes that
several members who voted for Burns
last winter have resolved to jump the
corral because they were thrown down
or gold bricked' in the distribution OF
promised State patronage. Gage is SAID
10 be a little lukewarm toward Burns.
Major Mclaughlin is not so enthusiastic
caliy in favor of the Mexican as he was
sure that Huntington will authorize the
law law department r Of the corporation to en-
gage In another Senatorial contest IN
bundering opposition to the wishes or the
people BY reason of these distressing
COMPLICATIONS the Mexican's chances Of
success have not improved.
There is gossip in Southern California
that Judge Fitzgerald of Los Angeles,
formerly Attorney General of California,
may be brought forward as candidate
at the extra session.

must never think of the colonies as actu-
ally suffering from oppression, though the
strong language of their documents often
state that as a fact What Adams strug-
gled against was the validity of a doc
trine which would make oppression pos
sible. In that struggle he often thought
that in this timeaof common distress it
would be the wisdom of the coIonists
more frequently to correspond with and
to be more attentive to the particular cir
cumstances of each other. 1T seems of
late to have been the policy of the enc
mics of America to point their artillery
against one province only and artfully to
draw off the attention of the other colo
MES, and, if possible, to render that single
province odious to them, while it is suf-
fering ministerial vengeance for the sake
of the common cause. But it is TO be
hoped that the colonists will be aware
of this artifice. At this juncture an at
tempt to subdue one province to despotic
power Is justly to be considered as an at
tempt to enslave the whole. The colo

To no one does the cause of American
independence owe more than 10 this man
who with> invincible persistence and
shrewd farsightedness so conducted the
cause of those among the colonists who
opposed the taxation of Americans by the
British Parliament that a majority of all
the British subjects in each colony were
willing to unite in declaring their inde-
pendence from all foreign rule. He was a
typical puritan, upright, firm, determined,
religious, devoted to his cause, somewhat
narrow, but with the narrowness of the
sharp edged sword. He was above all
else POLITICIAN professional and prac-
tical politician. His early ventures in
business were unsuccessful. His malt
house was soon closed. his tax collector
ship left him involved in debt, and liv-
ing on the small remains of his father S
estate, he devoted the remainder of his
days to political life. Adams was of un-

His means were so
narrow that his fru-
gal and devoted wife
was at times called
upon to aid in the
support of the fam
lily, and he was in
debted to friends for
the clothes he wore,
yet no temptation to
amass wealth ever
touched him. He
was above bribery or

Adams was a faith

Until he went to the

in 1774, he seems
never to have left
