The San Francisco call., 1899-09-11
BRYAN ON HOGS AND MEN.

in it value enough to justify caring Tor the ho9 anu
yet all over this State you will find people drifting
from place to place and many seeming unconscious
OF hSir sufferings and Indifferent to their welfare
want to suggest if you want to develop the re-
sources OF your State you had better give attention 10
people as well as to cattle and hogs.
Mr.. Bryan entered the State few days ago. tar
ried and spoke at Sacramento went to Stockton ana
spoke, went on to the Yosemite and came back 10
Wawona and spoke, came down to San FRANCISCO
and spoke and then went back to Sacramento TO oe-
liver an address at the State Fair. The whole ad-
dress illustrated his lack OF versatility, for II was an
intensely partisan harangue, to mixed crowd OH
non-partisan occasion. Any other pubic man IN the
Union would have dropped partisan politics IN sucn
presence and spoken from the inspiration OF what
the labor and genius OF man have wrought
The only inspiration Mr.. Bryan seems to have
taken from it was an impulse to SANDER the State IN
the remarks we have quoted. 1t was the best he
had to saw for California and worse has never been
said OF any State and its people. Standing upon the
emnence to which his candidacy for the PRESIDENCY
and his desire to run again put him. he informs the
world in ungrammatcal language that IN this State
stray hogs are fed and stray lett to starVe! tie
saws that all over California are drifting from
place to place and there is indifference to their sui
ferings. while hogs are cared for and fed
In his view the State seems in need OF develop
nent and is suffering from paying too much atten-
ton to hogs and too little to men Looking around
him in the grounds of the State Fair and to the pa
vilion filled with the fruits OF the vineyard, orchard
and field and with the results OF our manufacturing
skill he seems to have seen in all evidence OF the
deve1onment OF our resources. 1t did not occur to
him that all this was an expression of civilization
and illustrated the remarkable progress of State
that is only in its fftieh year His inverted vision
saw only State filed with tramps and these starving
while our people give food and care to stray hogs!
Now the people want to know where he found this
excess OF human suffering all over this State, and
where he observed the caous indifference thereto,
How many people did he drifting and suffer
ing and neglected while hogs were eating what be
longs to men? What evidence has he that we neg
lect men and give hogs and cattle what belongs TO
humanity? His speech is falsehood and slander.
Ii not true that drifting and starving all
over this State in any part OF it. Mr. Bryan has
no vocation himself He promotes industry, hires
no men, pays no wages. He gets living out OF
OF his fellow men who hope in his success to get the
gain OF office and the pleasures OF power. What
client has he had and what fee has he received
lawyer since 1896? What has he earned with his pen
as journalist in the last three years? What paid the
cost OF his trip to this State and back After SLAM
dering California in his Sacramento speech he said
"A few weeks ago spent several days upon the lakes
in Michigan and Wisconsin, and | saw there the
summer homes lining the banks OF those lakes, and
the thought that came to How small pro-
portion OF the people OF this great land are able to
enjoy summer vacations And the thought that panied
me the most that the producers OF the wealth OF
the nation have less time and money for summer va
cations than any other class and the thought came
10 me- Is it lust Government" Out OF this tumble
OF thoughts" that panied the only conclusion is
that Just Government would give everybody sum
mer vacation But what was Mr.. Bryan doing
the lakes? Is he producer OF wealth? If so nobody
seems to have denied him about the longest vacation
from labor that has been enjoyed by any we
know Of Alter vacation "on the lakes few weeks
ago he has taken another here and visited the
Yosemite The cost OF it is not less than $500, il he
paid his way He attacks people and charges
them with feeding hogs and letting men starve all
over the State, They want to know how he gets the
money for summer vacation that extends from the
Great Lakes to the Pacific Coast. When he comes
around and thinks thoughts that pain him, and sees
sights that make him sad, and tells the world that
Californians indifferent to human suffering and let
men drift and starve while the hogs fed and shell
tered, they to know how Mr., Bryan gets the
money to travel around and criticize his fellow
who have summer homes in Wisconsin and raise hogs
and cattle in California? The who sets himself
up OF the humanity and charity OF others
must show something than demagogue pretense
and thoughts that pain him. What is he doing for
humanity? How many that he drifting all over
this State did he relieve from his purse? What ex-
ample of charity and humanity did he set to in
different people? What tramp did he feed Or
clothe? Did he even find any hog besides himself
while he was in the State?
