The advocate., 1891-01-14
Is THE FOLLOWING A TALE FROM REAL
LTFEf


munds, the Vermont Senator:
The American laboror has house, usually
his own. he has q carpet ON his iiddf ih-
stead OF clay no the bottom OF 10. H0 has
glass windOws no has a piano, or, II not an
aocQrdeon on some musical instrument; he
has his books; he has free schools for hiB
children; ho has paper on his walls; ho has
fresh meat every day IL he wants til do
not no has butter, unleas Chicago supplies
him with something else, but he suppoB08
no has butter; he has white bread; ho has q
plao0 90 90 20 church.; he has everything
that makes the comfort and welfare OF tho
home. He has his vacations and excursions.
~ ho DO honest and industrious and sober
ho has everything that the richest man In
America can have; and in general, II you
take ell OF what We call rich men Ia Amer
ioa he is a great deal happier than they are;
he bleops better at night, and no is as we'll
clothed and his children ard wife are az
well clothed as the richeat man In America.
He has everything that makes social happi-
moss and social prosperity, II he only bo-
haves himself and works int0lligontly 10
those ends.
Now ls IL any wonder that the man
who makes the foregoing utterances-
such an arrant mass Of general stupidity
Ia the matter Of comprehending common
Occurrences-wo feel lonesome when
his plutoCratlc brother, the oratoriCal
and parliamentary nOndesorlpt, John j.
Ingalls,, Of Kansas, should count the few
remaining days that he has TO serve in
the United States SenateP
A COMPANION PIECE FROM JOHN sHRR
MAN.
On January 3, 1891, Senator Sherman,
In opposing free coinage, thus declared
himself In the United States Senate:
The United States never we're so strong as
they are to-day, and never before In the his
tory OF tho world did q nation command a
moro lofty and noble position than the
United States now holds; and yet, cir, that
positson which has given IL strength and
power and credit everywhere, is threatened
by. this sudden change Of Che standard OF
value.
Increase the currency! Why, the most
fatal effect OF this will be an enormous di-
minution Of currency because more than
one-half OF the currency is now gold or is
based upon gold, and every dollar of that is
domoneti2ed when chat bill goes into actual !
operation.
Why should not this money manager
pray that the people OF Kansas should
continue Ingalls, in the Senate as fell
low worker in inlquity9
STATESMAN JOHN ON "THE MYSTERIES OF
FINANCE"
Let the Ingalls, strikers quote the fol-
lowing from Mr.. Sherman and present TO
the dupes who, like lambs led to the
slaughter, are again commanded 10 vote
for this priceless fnsncler for a fourth
term to the Senate, so that their bondage
TO a domestic and foreign syndicate may
be quite indefinitely perpetuated:
can see how a great many good people,
honest people, farmers and Che like, who do
not study the mysteries OF finance, think a
dollar is dollar, OF whatever m0tal
1t is coined, or that a dollar with the
stamp Of the United States and the great
eagle upon IL 10 a dollar all the world over.
without regard TO its intrinsic value, but
when you adopt a single standard of silver,
as you propose to do In this bill, that dollar
will be measured precisely as all other sill
vor 10 measured in the markets OF the world,
precisely as the United States now moss,
ures all foreign coin. Our own good people
may be misled and deceived by the e1pOCta- /.
tiOR that they will got more dollars for !
their labor products, and so probably thoy !.
would, unless the natural effect of re-
duCed and diminished coinage be counter
acted by this sudden contraction OF the : :
currency, which may probably defeat this .
beneficial result.
Now the foregoing golden calf idolatry /
is better expressed by Mr.sherman than 9
It would be by Senator Ingalls,, who
votes with the Ohio Senator, generally
