BUCHANAN oS Low WAoEs--Loox AT The
REcoRp.--ln le43 James Buchanan, on the
floor of the United States Senate, declared
that ten cents per day was sufficient remu-
neration for manual labor. He said
Reduce our nominal standard of prices
throughout the world, and your cover our
country with blessings and benefits"
In 1856, the same James Buchanan appears
before the people, the candidate Of a power
full party, for the Presidency-the candidate
OF party which numbers in its ranks thou.
sands Of laboring men who are dependent
upon the price Of their labor for support.
He said further
"The comparative low prices Of France
and Germany, have afforded such stimulus
to their manufactures, that they are nov
rapidly extending themselves, and would OBJ
tain possession, in no small degree, even OF
the English home market, il it were not foI
their protective duties. While British manu-.
features nre now languishing, those OF the
continent are springing up into healthy anc
vigorous existence"

guage of the Pennsy Iva ala Senator, but thai
our standard of prices should be reduced tt
that Of the hard money currency OF Europe
What was that standard? In France I,
pence per day, in Sweden, Sd, Bavaria Sd
