At Deer Park, Maryland, according to a report published in the San Francisco Examiner, Mr. W. J. Bryan gave expression to the following extraordinary declaration: "To-day the Republican party has not a policy on any question that it dares to outline before the American people." Let us see if this sweeping and characteristic declaration of Mr. Bryan will bear the test of calm investigation. What does the Republican national platform say: "We renew our allegiance to the principle of the gold standard." "We declare our steadfast opposition to the free and unlimited coinage of silver." "We condemn all conspiracies and combinations intended to restrict business, to create monopolies, to limit production or to control prices, and favor such legislation as will effectively restrain such abuses." "We renew our faith in the policy of protection to American labor." "We favor the associated policy of reciprocity so directed as to open our markets on favorable terms for what we do not ourselves produce in return for free foreign markets." "We favor a more effective restriction of the immigration of cheap labor from foreign lands." "We favor such legislation as will recover our former place among the trade-carrying fleets of the world." "We recommend adequate national legislation to reclaim the arid lands of the United States." "It will be the policy of the Republican party to bring about a reduction of the war taxes." "We favor the construction, ownership, control and protection of an isthmian canal by the government of the United States." "The largest measure of self-government consistent with their welfare and our duties shall be secured to them (the Filipinos) by law." Mr. Bryan has one paramount weakness, and it is in assuming that the voice of Bryan is the voice of God. He is hypnotized into making false declarations by the sonorous seductiveness of his own phraseology. It is charitable to presume that when he declared that the Republican party has no policy that it dares to outline he FOR A FIRST-CLASS SHAVE OR HAIR CUT. TWO DOORS WEST OF BANK. HUSMANN BROS.

It is the habit of the modern time saving young man, says Elliot Gregory in The Atlantic, upon entering a quick lunch establishment to dash for the bill of fare and give an order (If he is adroit enough to catch one of the maids on the fly) before removing either coat or hat. At least 15 seconds may be economized in this way. Once seated, the luncher falls to on anything at hand—bread, cold slaw, crackers or catchup. When the dish ordered arrives, he gets his fork into it as it appears over his shoulder and cleans the plate before the sauce makes its appearance, so that is eaten by itself or with bread. Cups of coffee or tea go down in two swallows.

A really accomplished luncher can assimilate his last "quarter" of cakes, wiggle into his coat and pay his check at the desk at the same moment. The next he is down the block in pursuit of a receding trolley. SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD. Trains on the Southern Pacific pass Anaheim as follows: To Los Angeles. From Los Angeles.

Angeles and Cypress Sts A LITTLE TALK ON FREE SILVER Points for Our Free-Silver Republicans to Ponder Well Before Voting for Bryan. The word "free" as used in the free and unlimited coinage of silver argument means that the expense of coining the silver shall be borne by the government. The director of the mint states that it costs $15,000 to coin 1,-000,000 silver dollars. The first demand of the free-coinage party is that this $15,000 for every million coined shall be paid out of the national treasury, and not paid directly or indirectly by the owner of the silver bullion. The word "unlimited" means that the holder of silver bullion anywhere in the world can send it to the mints of the United States and demand its coinage into money. The secretary of the treasury on Jan. 1, 1895, estimated the total stock of coined silver in the world aside from the United States at $3,444,-900,000, and during the year 1894 the total world's production of silver at $216,892,200. The word "unlimited" means that this $3,661,792,200, and all mined since, and all to be mined hereafter, may demand coinage at the mints of the United States. The phrase, "legal ratio of 16 to 1," means that the mint will take 23.22 grains of pure gold and stamp this weight as one dollar; and that 371.25 grains of pure silver will be stamped as one dollar. Hence the weight of a silver dollar is 16 times the weight of a gold dollar (15.988 to 1). This is called a legal ratio because it is established by law. The legal ratio must not be confounded with the commercial ratio. The secretary of the treasury states that for a considerable period the one pound of gold to the mints of the United States and get in return for it fifteen pounds of silver, while during the same forty-two years he could send it to Spain, Portugal, Mexico and South America and get 16 pounds of silver. Of course, gold went abroad during those years just as the $815,000,000 of gold now in the United States would leave the country under a free coinage law at a legal ratio of 16 to 1 when the commercial ratio is 30 to 1. In 1853 Congress passed a third coinage law which again changed the ratio between gold and all silver coins below the silver dollar. During the nineteen years from 1834 to 1853, gold had come into general circulation and silver had disappeared. During those years $41,889,401 of silver had been coined, and nearly all of that money had gone out of circulation for the reason that silver had been undervalued by the law of 1834. The law of 1853 was passed for the express purpose of preventing the exportation of the half dollars, quarter dollars, dimes and half dimes. In 1852, the legislature of New Jersey petitioned congress to provide silver change for the store and market trade of the people; and yet during those nineteen years, from 1834 to 1853, more than 163,000,000 silver coins of all kinds had left the mint. The cheaper money had again driven out the dearer money For that very reason and for no other, congress passed the law of 1853 to change the legal ratio back to about 15 to 1. Again the impotency of the legal ratio was distinctly and emphatically recognized. In view of these two great examples in our own history, supported by the acts and utterances of the greatest statesmen, what becomes of Bryan's California's interests in the election. The voters owe New York cast their ballots where they believe their interests lie, and tha Park, Maryland, according published in the San Fran. Mr. W. J. Bryan gave to the following extraoration: "To-day the Republican national new our allegiance to the gold standard.

He into making false declara- sonorous seductiveness of sociology. able to presume that when that the Republican party that it dares to outline here, may demand coinage at the mints of the United States. The phrase, "legal ratio of 16 to 1," means that the mint will take 23.22 grains of pure gold and stamp this weight as one dollar; and that 371.25 grains of pure silver will be stamped as one dollar. Hence the weight of a silver dollar is 16 times the weight of a gold dollar (15,988 to 1). This is called a legal ratio because it is established by law. The legal ratio must not be confounded with the commercial ratio. The secretary of the treasury states that for a considerable period the commercial ratio of silver to gold was 30.32 to 1. This means that 30.32 grains of pure silver bullion would exchange for one grain of pure gold bullion. Or, to state it differently, 30.32 grains of silver bullion could be bought on the market for exactly the same money that would buy one grain of gold bullion. The free-silver demand, when analyzed, cannot be misunderstood. Every honest free-coinage advocate believes in bimetalism. He believes in the actual use of both metals as money, and he believes that the free-silver demand, if enacted into law, will give practical bimetallism—that is, the actual use of both gold and silver as money. It seems evident, from a fair statement of the free-silver proposition, from the history of the three great commercial nations—the United States, France and England—from the present standing examples of free-silver nations, and from the unanimous testimony of writers on finance, that a free-silver law would result, not in bimetalism, but in a silver monometallism, and that it would reduce the United States to the cheap silver standard of Mexico, derange prices, reduce the wages of labor, and cause widespread disaster. In 1792 Congress passed the first law which established the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the legal ratio of 15 to 1. In 1834 Congress passed another law which continued the free and unlimited coinage of both metals, but which fixed the ratio at 16 to 1. Between these years the legal ratio of 15 to 1 was separate and distinct from the commercial ratio. During these 42 years $11,852,890 in gold was coined, and in 1834 Senator Benton said: "Where are these pieces now? Not one of them to be seen! All sold and exported! And so regular is this operation that the director of the mint, in his latest report to Congress, says that the new coined gold frequently remains in the mint until the day arrives for a packet to sail to Europe. The eleventh section of the act of April, 1792, enacted that every 15-pound weight of pure silver should be equal in value in all payments with one pound of pure gold. This act was the death warrant of the gold currency. The diminished circulation of that coin soon began to be observable. The extinction is now complete and must remain so until the laws are altered." Benton's "Thirty Years in the United States Senate" When the first law In view of these two great examples in our own history, supported by the acts and utterances of the greatest statesmen, what becomes of Bryan's contention. "We contend that the free and unlimited coinage by the United States alone will raise the bullion value of silver to its coinage value and thus make silver bullion worth $1.29 per ounce in gold throughout the world." The whole history of our government and the combined judgment of the greatest statesmen, of Hamilton, Jefferson, Benton, Garfield and Blaine are against this fundamental error which is also in the vital plank of the Democratic platform. From 1851 to 1867 silver disappeared. Owing to the immense production of gold in California and Australia, gold became cheaper, and so went into France, and silver went out. Again the supremacy of the world's market asserted itself. The French government actually had to coin the five franc piece in gold and prevent its exportation. The government found that the five franc piece in silver was steadily leaving the country. Jevons, the author of a work on money, states that silver rapidly disappeared in France from 1849 to 1869. He says that if the legal ratio differs from the commercial ratio 2 or 3 per cent, that this is sufficient to drive out one of the metals and he cites France from 1849 to 1869 as an example. Of course the average citizen would not send the coined money abroad for such a small margin of profit, but brokers, at once, would see the great profit to be made on large exportations. Prior to 1873 we coined in this country, all told, about 80,000,000 of silver dollars; since 1873 we coined up to January 1st, 1896,$47,914,340 of silver, about $426,000,000 of which are standard dollars. During August, 1896, we coined 2,650,000 of silver dollars, and the profit to the government—the people—was between $800,000 and $900,000. From January 1st, 1896, until June 30th, 1900, we coined $75,256,586 in standard silver dollars. Webster says: "Demonetization is to deprive of value, or to withdraw from use as currency." Does it look very much as though we had drawn silver from use as currency? In what way have we deprived silver of value? It is a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, and without limit as to amount, and has been for the last twenty-two years. These are facts which you will not find within the covers of "Coin" Harvey's books. It looks as though we had added value to it, since the silver dollar circulates side by side with the gold dollar, notwithstanding its bullion value is 52 cents less than its nominal or face value. It Happened in a Drug Store. The effect of the forthcoming election upon California's future will be a great that every voter in the State may well pause and consider the matter. He may with profit scrutinize the attitude and policy of the two leaders, with regard to the results that will flow from the execution of either policy, and most especially the extent of California's interest in the election. The voters o New York cast their ballots where they believe their interests lie, and the voters of California, says the San Francisco Chronicle, should do the same. And in a campaign like the present where material prosperity is so vitally affected by national political policy, behooves the business man to spend a much time investigating the subject as he would devote to any other question affecting his business. The declarations of William J. Bryan regarding the Democratic party's policy toward the Philippines have not been so specific and flat-footed as his followers have been led to believe. He is shrewd and cunning talker, and no where in his speeches does he declare in so many words that he will haul down the flag in the Philippines. But no one who has followed his course since the Spanish war is in doubt on that score. It is the expressed intention of Bryan and the Democratic party to abandon the Philippines. The party stands for hauling down the flag and making archipelago a sealed book so far as Americans are concerned. It intends to throw away the capabilities of a comrade that would be vast and mutually profitable to Americans and Filipinos. It will, if it gains power, prevent the establishment of steamship line between California and the Philippines and restrict the growth of Pacific ocean commerce that has already sprung up as a consequence of the Spanish war. The policy of President McKinley with regard to the Philippines is as well known as Bryan's. One sentence from the President's letter accepts broadly covers the whole policy of the Republician party: "The Republicans can party will not be guided in its conduct by one set of principles at home and another set in the new territories belonging to the United States." President McKinley from time that echoed Dewey's guns ceased has pursued a policy towardthe Philippine islands that looks toward their remaining a part ofthe United States Every step taken bythe military commanders acting under McKinley's orders has been to enlargethe libertyofthe Filipinos and fit them for self-government.Much has been done inthis respect,sinceofthe difficultyofpacifyingthe islands.The planmunicipal government framed by Don Cayo tano Arrellano Chief Justiceofthe Philippines,and promulgatedbyGeneral Otis.isbeing carriedoutas fastandtheinhabitantscanbeorganizedinthemunicipalities。Orderis coming outofchaosinallbranchesofcivilaffairsOnehasonlytoreadthereportofthePhilippineCommission,signedbyeverymemberthereof,DemocraticandRepublicantorealizethegreatstridealreadymadetoward civilizationinthePhilippines. this operation that the director of the mint, in his latest report to Congress, says that the new coined gold frequently remains in the mint until the day arrives for a packet to sail to Europe.

This act was the death warrant of the gold currency. The diminished circulation of that coin soon began to be observable. The extinction is now complete and must remain so until the laws are altered."—Benton's "Thirty Years in the United States Senate." When the first law was passed Alexander Hamilton said that the "consequences of a mistake in the relative value of the two metals would be the expulsion of the one that was undervalued." Thomas Jefferson, in his report upon foreign coins, said that when the legal ratio differed from the commercial ratio, one of the metals would disappear. Albert Gallatin, Alexander Dallas, W. H. Crawford and Samuel D. Ingham, four secretaries of the treasury previous to 1834, all pointed out the fact that gold was steadily disappearing under the legal ratio of 15 to 1. During the same period several reports of committees of both the Senate and the House stated that gold was undervalued by the law of 1792, and that the remedy lay in making the legal and commercial ratios one and the same. It was a matter of common information among those who studied the condition of the money in circulation that nearly all the gold was leaving the United States under the legal ratio of 15 to 1; and for that reason and for no other the legal ratio was changed to 16 to 1. It is a remarkable fact that both the framers of the law of 1872 and the law of 1834 aimed to make the legal ratio the same as the ratio in the world of trade. There was no thought in the minds of the framers of this government of fixing on an arbitrary legal ratio independent of the commercial ratio. There was no thought on their part that the legal ratio would control and fix the commercial ratio. On the contrary, by the law of 1834, they emphatically and clearly recognized the absolute supremacy of the commercial ratio. The reason is perfectly plain. When the legal ratio was 15 to 1, the American holder of gold bullion could take Does it look very much as though we had withdrawn silver from use as currency? In what way have we deprived silver of value? It is a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, and without limit as to amount, and has been for the last twenty-two years.

It looks as though we had added value to it, since the silver dollar circulates side by side with the gold dollar, notwithstanding its bullion value is 52 cents less than its nominal or face value. It Happened in a Drug Store. "One day last winter a lady came to my drug store and asked for a brand of cough medicine that I did not have in stock," says Mr. C. R. Grandin, the popular druggist of Ontario, N. Y. "She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation I could recommend. I said to her that I could freely recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and that she could take a bottle of the remedy and after giving it a fair trial if she did not find it worth the money to bring back the bottle and I would refund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady came back in company with a friend of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I consider that a very good recommendation for the remedy." It is for sale by P. A. Derge, druggist. Santa Fe Circus Rate to Santa Ana.

An Victory and Retention of the Philippines Means Much to the Prosperity of this State. Of the United States is more interested in the Presidential than California. On account of proximity to the Philippines, disposition is at issue between publicans and Democrats, it is a great moment to California the islands shall be closed to or by the triumph of Bryan, or they shall develop as they have gradually becoming freer, greater in civilization and wealth, and entwined in senses well as material interests great nation of which they are natives as a rule have seen too the marvelous changes that can be felt by American courage and be in the great West to be by the task of governing and managing the Philippines. It will take course; but it has also taken bring New Mexico and Arizona their present standard, andotic American regrets the opened. Still less would any lend his support to any proposition these Territories adrift. Effect of the forthcoming election California's future will be so that every voter in the State may use and consider the matter with profit scrutinize the atti-policy of the two leaders, with the results that will flow from nation of either policy, and more by the extent of California's influence on the election. The voters of Rock cast their ballots where they their interests lie, and the of the capabilities of commerce from the figures that follow. As an indication of the rapid growth of commerce between this country and the islands, it is noted that a direct line of steamships between New York and Manila—the Barbour line—has been compelled to add to its fleet to accommodate the business offered. Four steamers a month are now running, and during July five steamers of the line called at Manila, loaded going and coming with freight. Much of the freight carried by the Barbour line, if not the bulk of it, would naturally pass through the Golden Gate if steamers were at hand to carry it. In addition to the Eastern freight, California products of certain kinds are in demand, even at present. In the eight months ending February 28, 1900, the whole United States sent only $30,711 worth of flour to the Philippines, while China sent $133,401 worth, and Hongkong $95,720 worth. Even on the assumption that all of Hongkong's flour was from California, China excelled the United States in that commodity. These figures are from the Division of Customs and Insular Affairs, War Department. Other figures, from the same source and for the same period, reveal openings in the market for California products. The United States sent to the Philippines $1118 worth of fresh and dried fruits, while China sent $39,083 worth and Spain $3561 worth. Of preserved fruits, the shipments from the United States amounted to $11,942, while from Spain there were $16,614 and from China $15,727. Spain furnished $41,361 worth of olive oil to the Philippines, while the United States sent only $227 worth. All the wines from the United States, including California, amounted to only $37,495, while Spain collected $151,687 and France $21,178 from the Philippines for wines. The United States sent lumber worth $1166 during the period named, while from British East Indies there was sent $18,575 worth. All these articles are produced in MILLIONS FOR LEVEES. Why Not Use a Portion of the Appropriations for Reservoirs? This Would Prevent Floods. The history of levee construction on the Mississippi river has been a long one. The first levee was begun in 1717, which was, when completed, one mile long, erected to protect New Orleans, then a mere village. This levee was four feet high and 18 feet across the top. It was not, however, until after Louisiana had been ceded to the United States that levee construction was begun on a large scale—an enlarged and systematic scale. As the work progressed up the river and additional basins and bottoms were enclosed, the levees necessarily increased in height. The average height of the levees in Louisiana, above New Orleans, is now between twelve and thirteen feet, and this height proved insufficient in the great flood of 1897. This flood indicates to the official engineers that three or four feet additional will be required. Millions and millions of dollars have been appropriated by the federal government for the building of these levees and other constructions intended to protect the surrounding country from floods, and millions more must be appropriated by every Congress to come unless other steps are taken to prevent these floods. These measures of the government are merely palliative; they do not go to the root of the evil. The report of Captain Hiram Chittenden of the government engineer corps, however, shows that there is a way to strike at the trouble itself, and largely prevent the floods instead of trying to enclose them between banks after they have become such. Economic American regrets the depended. Still less would any lend his support to any proposition turn these Territories adrift. Effect of the forthcoming election of California's future will be so that every voter in the State may case and consider the matter with profit scrutinize the attitude of the two leaders, with the results that will flow from institution of either policy, and more by the extent of California's interest in the election. The voters of East cast their ballots where they their interests lie, and the California, says the San Francisco, should do the same. A campaign like the present, material prosperity is so vitally important national political policy, it affects the business man to spend as he investigates the subject as devote to any other question in his business. declarations of William J. Bryan in the Democratic party's policy on the Philippines have not been and flat-footed as his follow- been led to believe. He is a hard cunning talker, and no-his speeches does he declare any words that he will haul down on the Philippines. But no one followed his course since the war is in doubt on that score.

Stanley Meets Death in a Train Accident. R. M. Stanley of Santa Ana, father of George M. Stanley of this city, was run down and fatally injured by the Southern Pacific 10:15 Newport train at Santa Ana on Friday morning at a crossing near the Delhi creamery, about two and one-half miles south of the city. He evidently did not see the train in time to avoid it, and was struck and thrown up on the pilot. The horse escaped without injury. Mr. Stanley was taken from the wreck of the broken buggy and conveyed to Santa Ana, where he died later in the day. His chest was crushed, and his ribs broken, the broken bones penetrating the lungs. An inquiry was held by Coroner Clark, the verdict being that deceased had come to his death in the manner stated by accidental means. The remains were interred under the auspices of the Masonic lodge, of which deceased was a member, at Santa Ana on Sunday morning. Deceased was aged 54 years and leaves a widow and one son. First-Class Poultry Show The Sixth District Agricultural association will pay particular attention to that division of the coming fair which includes fancy poultry and domestic fowl. In the poultry show space has been provided for 30 classes, which will include every species known to fanciers. A well-known and well-qualified expert will act as judge, and an absolutely fair and impartial result will be reached in each of the classes. Merit and value of every entry on exhibition will be the sole consideration on which awards will be made. The entry list is already large, and the assertion can be safely made that no poultry show ever given in Los Angeles county included in its premium list so many magnificent specimens of domestic and strictly strains of blue-blooded stock. In a special class premiums have been provided for turkeys, ducks, geese and pigeons, and every owner and fancier in Southern California should make it his duty to visit and inspect this branch of the agricultural fair. A new strain of heavy-weight fowl will be placed on exhibition at this fair. This strain was first bred by Wm. Cook of Orpington place, England, and levees and other constructions intended to protect the surrounding country from floods, and millions more must be appropriated by every Congress to come unless other steps are taken to prevent these floods. These measures of the government are merely palliative; they do not go to the root of the evil. The report of Captain Hiram Chittenden of the government engineer corps, however, shows that there is a way to strike at the trouble itself, and largely prevent the floods instead of trying to enclose them between banks after they have become such. He shows in his official reports that by the building of a series of great storage reservoirs at the headwaters of the Missouri floods can be prevented through the diverting of the excess of waters into these artificial lakes. Surely this is something for Congress to give its attention to. Here is a practical plan. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Congress will go ahead appropriating millions every session for flood prevention without a question, but it will not appropriate the same amount for a plan which, according to the government's own engineers, promises far greater results. Of course, the building of these reservoirs would mean the reclamation of large tracts of land to irrigation; but this need not worry Congress, even its Eastern members, for the Eastern merchants are already alive to the situation, and realize that the reclamation of the arid West would open to them the finest market in the world. The opponents of national irrigation movement seem imbued with two ideas. First, that national irrigation is a matter of flight and fancy about which all sorts of extravagant, unauthenticated and theoretical statements are made by its advocates; and second, that whatever the scheme may be the people of the East will never endorse it. Neither of these ideas is founded upon fact. The national policy is not a plan reared upon fancy, but a legitimate problem entirely capable of performance, as shown by the recommendations of the best government engineers of various departments at Washington. The friends of national irrigation want nothing more than that the recommendations of these engineers shall be carried out. And if this is done there can be no other possible outcome than that the population of the country lying between the Missouri and the Pacific coast will be vastly increased with resulting prosperity. The waste waters of the West, if stored, would create a permanent source of wealth to the nation. The Eastern opposition to Western reclamation is getting to be more of a myth than a reality since the crusade has been started throughout the manufacturing States calling attention to the vast possibilities which lie to manufacturers through the development of the arid West in giving to them the best market in the world for their goods. It is well enough for the opponents of the national irrigation policy to talk of unalterable Eastern opposition to the scheme, but the fact is that the East contains thousands of acting under McKinley's orbeen to enlarge the liberty ofinos and fit them for self-govermuch has been done in thisspite of the difficulty of pacific islands.
