Financial Independence.
Financial independence comes from
saving your money. There may be other
causes which contribute to wealth. Un
doubtedly there are. But a man's savings
constitute the rock on which tho foun
dation of a fortune is built. Trace the
source of? the -wealth of any rich man in
this city, and you will find that he began
by savins part of his earnings. .You can
do the same. If you have not made a
habit of savin* you can easily begin by
putting nside part of your earnings each
week or each month % Time and Interest
will do the rest. The Phoenix Savings.

.'The Republican' party is.: in favor, of the
use of both gold - and •* silver as . money and

allver." . ¦ . ' , ¦
Mr. Phelan also expressed "his pleas
ure at the genuineness and warmth of
the reception that had been accorded
him, which, he • said, was especially
pleasing to him in view of the fact
that he has Just returned to the city
after a long absence. Governor Cham
berlain followed Mr. Phela.n and for
him the audience had reserved cheers
and applause which were evidently ap
preciated by the distinguished execu
tive. After expressing his pleasure
Governor Chamberlain said in part:
The- campaign now in progress is in many
respects the most remarkable in the history of
Presidential contests In this country. It is
remarkable first, because of the astounding
claims made by our opponents and the reasons
urged for their perpetuation in power, and,
second, because of the methods being resorted
to to accomplish that end. And here- let u«
examine come of the reasons urged < for the
election of a . Republican . President and see
whether or not they are sound.
First, it is insisted that the election of
a Democratic President will endanger the gold
standard, for the establishment of .which our
opponents ¦ claim to be alone responsible. L
say. and I. appeal to the* record; of the -past
few* years . to sustain me, •. that our Republican
friends have not- always been friendly to tho
single gold standard, but on the contrary have
charged In the past ' that a Democratic Pres
ident waa responsible for its establishment.
Not only that, but. the preu which now claims
bo much credit for. what the .Republican, party
has done to irrevocably establish the single
'gold standard only a short while ago . was
lauding to - the skies that -same Democratic
President • and those who followed him in vot
ing either for . Palmer and Buckner • or for
the Republican candidates direct, for. assist
ing in doing . what confessedly . they could not
do without such assistance.
Why,' my "fellow-citizens, the Republican
party appears now for the first time in it«
history as the champion of . the . single gold
standard. Its conversion has been gradual, for
prior to 1 890 it was the unvarying custom of
Republican platforms to denounce Grover Cleve
land and . other ¦ wicked Democrats for. trying
to demonetize silver and to fasten the single
gold standard upon the country. \ In ¦ 1891 the
late President McKiniey, in a speech at Toledo,
Ohio." excoriated President- Cleveland for being
hostile to bimetallism and charged that during
all ¦ of his years at the head of : the Govern
ment he was "dishonoring one of our precious
metals, one of our own great products, dis
honoring sliver and enhancing the price of
gold." In 1S0O he had said In Congress: "I
am for - the largest use of . silver in the cur
rency of the conntry. I would > not dishonor
It. - 1 would give it ¦ equal credit , and ; honor
with cold.* I would make, no discrimination;
I would utilize both metals as money and-dis
credit neither. ' I .want the double standard."
Other Republican * speakers,-? Cannon.-"-- Dlngley.
Allison, . Dolllver i and . others « might be quoted
along the' same lines. The Republican platform
of 1888. which wa» reported , by Mr. , McKiniey,
contained the ; following : plank :
PLliLVSED AT RECEPTION.
mines and forests .and virgin soil, hardly ex
plored as yet, but which yield amazingly, and.
tlrus wealth Is created and distributed. But
th£ quesUon with us is not bo much the crea
tion of wealth, of which there 1b an abundance,
but the distribution of wealth, and the Demo
cratic party claims that the trusts were ere-,
ate.d and protected (and that is. what protection
really means) -by an unequaiand unjust tariff.
and, hax-ing grown to the position of-such
enormcrus power, dictate tho distribution of
that wealth which springs Irpm the bounty of
nature and the creation, invention and enter
prise of our own people. ¦- They do as trey see
fit and naturally, if unrestrained, as thei? self
ish interest* suggest. Hence, when Carnegie
retired from the Steei Trust he took with him
$250,000,000. accumulated in a few years. That
vast eum was contributed by every industry.
every railroad, ! every building j erected in
tho country, by every- trade using iron
or iron products. It cost more to ride
bn the railroad, and so" on all through tho
multiform affairs of daily life that tax fol
lowed the consumer. And this one steel indus
try, known a* the Steel Trust, has capitalized
its property for a sum greater than the na
tional debt.- The Government is t.he only
power to regulate such condition*, but the
Government is in the hands of the Republican
party and the Republican party is the father,
of tariffs and trusts, and we are. asked by the
Republican party to commit the -amelioration
of these gross abuses to its care. In . other
words, we ask the Republican party to com
mit haia-kiri. The time has come for the peo
ple to make their protest and enforce their
iemedy by the election cf the party of the
'opposition, which has entered the llsta pledged
to. right these wrongs.
Governor Chamberlain demonstrated
the' faqt, in concluding his speech, that
he is democratic in the broadest sense
of the term. He invited all the people to
pay a visit to his State during the_falr
next year if thev can, "and," he said,
"when you come do as you like in my
offices. Come there and if ' you are
weary and vour feet rest uneasily un
der the table put them on it and enjoy
yourselves to the fullest extent."
His last remark won for him the full
regard of the audience and it cheered
and applauded, and ' then, in response
to Cha'Irman Lane's call, gave | thr,ee
more cheers* for Governor Chamber
lain and three cheers and a tiger for
Parker and Davis. .
"Now, this is a statement that does not
reat upon my authority, but upon the authority
of records in the State ; Department, presided
over by Mr. Hay, the poet laureate of the
administration. .
| To show the shallowness of the claim of our,
opponents , that ' they alone ' are to be trustt-I
in dealini: with the money question; I . quote'
from a sptech recently made by Bourke Cock
ran in whichjie said: -"But, my friends, you

entire management of the Republican ;party.

after* the gold standard had been • sustained
by an overwhelming: vote of the American
people, after the gold Democrats . had gone
out of their door with their lives in : their
hands, not knowing whether ever .again they
could find admission to the ranks wherein all
the days of their political activity had besn
spent, tho Republican machine attempted
then to betray them and to banish the gold

So it is -aeen that: the-' President; h!ms«lf,*
.though .now he thinks* the Democratic ' party
cannot be trusted, because of its . altered

Speeches were made by Philip J.
Hasklns, Jesse Stelnhart Jr.,' Marc
Anthony, A. L. Hart Jr. arid R. B.
Treat. ., : :
Kahn was loud in hfs praises of the
navy. He believed in building up a
strong navy to. protect American
interests. He did not believe in war
fare and battle unless it was forced
upon the nation. If it was forced he
believed the country should be in a
position to meet it. Disputes should,
however,' be settled by courts of ar
bitration. So' far as Parker was
concerned, no one would attempt to
question his honesty and his patriot
ism, but his ideas upon what should be
the policy of this country w^re wrong.
Kahn was in sympathy with his au
dience, ' and his remarks ~, -were fre
quently Interrupted by applause.
Walter S.Brann was chairman.
I Democrats dem't feel enough interest to vote.
They know the country is In good hands. Sen
ator Dick has- stated .that Ohio will roll up
the biggest Republican majority ever known
in that State. A leading Democratic laboring
man said to me last week- that the laboring
men are t-ettins better wages than they ever
got 'be/ore, and that they are satisfied with
the present administration. Roosevelt is an
honest, loyal, straightforward American .citi
zen. There- is no possible question about his
election. The only question is how bis hi:*

Hayes' confined his argument chief
ly to national Issues, likening the
toiler of to-day who votes for the sup
port of the' Republican, platform unto
a man who takes a gold piece from
orfe ¦ pocket and places It in another
rather than throwing it broadcast.
The trade of the, country, he said,
should be kept in -the country. We
can produce all we i need an-d; there
is no occasion for opening the gates
to' foreign competition. *¦
this same line Hayes put himself
strongly on record as regards the Chi
nese and Japanese. He stated posi
tively • that aside from employing
Asiatic labor he was unalterably op
posed to it and if elected to Congress
wculd raise his voice for the exclusion
not only of ; the Chinaman, but his
neighbor, the Japanese. •
.To secure proper legislation, he con
tended, it Is necessary to have a' solid
delegation in Congress. The next Con
gress will, according to his calcula
tions, unquestionably be Republican,
and a Democrat looking for a favor;
s>uch as the building of a warship- on
this coast, which would mean the ex
penditure of millions of dollars, , would
never .be recognized.

Senator Perkins further said in his interview
with me, after he had read a stenographic re
port of Bell's Colusa speech, delivered on Oc
tober 25, 1904, that be was astounded beyond
reason to see the assertion mad* by Mr. Bell
Continuing, the speaker said
Subsequently the .bill passed the
House and came u]j to the-" Senate, in
just ; exactly the foFm that if Had been
introduced by the Naval Appropriation
Committee. When it reached the Sen
ate it was referred ttJ the Naval Af
fairs Committee, of which Senator Per
kins is a leading- member, and in that
committee Senator j .Perkins proposed
an amendment that one of the colliers
be constructed oh the Atlantic * sea
board in the~Government yards andthe
other at Mure Island. At this Juncture
the Senators from Oregon and Wash
ington came to Senator Perkins and
told him they could not stand for the
designation of the Mare Island navy
yard, as it would seem to slur the other
yards of the Pacific" Coast, and that if
he would chansre the language so that
the measure provided for the c instruc
tion of jl collier oh the Pacific Coast
they would assist .him in the Senate.
Senator Perkins acceded to the request
and the Senate passed the bill ,aa
amended. Subsequently the House con
curred in the amendment.
Senator Perkins further said that he
was astonished. and surprised to hear
that-Bell claimed credit for a measure
with which he (Bell) had nothing to do
and the credit for which belonged to
others of the California delegation.
The great surprise came when Dozler
proved by the words of Senator Per
kins that Bell did not secure the ap
propriationor allowance of J22.000 for
the improvement of the Sacramento
River.
"If you doubt my assertion," said
Dozier, "wire to Senator Perkins at
my expense. Here is *100 for any one
who gets a reply impeaching the ac
curacy of my statement."

that his later amendment was also de

year and nin* candidates for President
and Vic* President of the United States
were nominated, but only six electoral
tickets will be generally voted for one
week from to-morrow. Besides the two
great v political parties seven others
made: nominations— People's, »• Prohibi

nental (labor);'; National Liberty (ne

grp' parties, however, apparently; ended

San Francisco People Receiy-
ing t El Benefit.
There have been many cases like
the following in San Francisco.
Every one relates the experience of
people we know. These plain,
straightforward statements will do
much toward relieving the suffering
of thousands. Such testimony will
be read with interest by many
people:
A. C. F. Bernecker, miner, of 742
Howard street, says: "There came
to my notice some time ago an un-
doubted case of kidney and v bladder
trouble where the party was so an-
noyed from the kidney .secretions,
particularly at night, that it entailed
loss of sleep, and as a consequence
lack of energy ensued- the following
day. The kidney secretions contained
so much acid that they scalded— in
fact, sometimes were -particularly
painful. A course of the treatment. of
Doan's Kidney Pills was taken, and,
much to the, surprise of the party and
more to his gratiScation, the. incon-
tinence ceased."

His breath is offensive. Your only thrught is
how to get rid of him and hii business. You
