APPRECIATION or MONEY.
ssThe Dollar WIN Buy Moro Than Eve

ssTho Dollar VIII Buy More Than Ever
Before
Before the house committee on agri-
culture recently, where Mr.. Pillsbury
was making an argument that but for
the fictitious dealing on boards of trade
farm products would bear q better
price. Mr.. Lewis asked: Isn't money
worth more than ever?' Mr.. Pillsbury
replied: 81 think as whole the dol
lar will buy more goods now than
ever"
That is true undoubtedly, and that is
what we have been for years trying to
get plutocracy to admit 1.-The dollar
will buy more than ever it would be-
fore" We want every farmer and
laborer to take that as text and
preach out his own sermon from it, and
when he is done preaching we want
him to get down and pray for sense
enough to see what effect that condi-
ton of things has upon him aud his
family, and for independence and self
asserted manhood enough to come out
on his own side and work for better
conditions.
THE. dollar will buy more than it
ever would BEFORE" That is a rich
harvest fat and plenty, for the man
that has the dollar, but it is the parched
earth, leanness and starvation for the
man that has things to sell for the dol.
lar. 1t is all right for the man that has
fixed salary. interest and coupons,
but the man whose muscle or whose
soil must produce something to buy
the dollar, is sin the soup" without
spoon or ladle. That is the very condi-
ton of things Of all others to enable

wealth to Cypress labor, and the fnan-
cial legislation of the last thirty years
has been directed to this very point, to
make 'the dollar buy more than it ever
would before" That is why every
effort to increase the circulation is re-
sisted by the plutocratic parties and
press, and is also the very reason why
the hosts of productive labor should
unite as one man to secure fair re-.
muneration for the products of labor.
It can only be done by a change Of
financial system.
Don't let the plutocrats make you be-
lieve that this much-purchasing dollar
is as good for you as it is for anyone
else, for when you sell more labor and
products to get it than ever you did be.
fore, it will not pay one cent more of
debt, interest and taxes than did the
dollar you once got for half as much
labor. Besides, if you lay up anything
for the rainy day, or for old age, you
can lay up only of your surplus profits.
How can you expect surplus profits
when the dollar will buy more Of your
work than ever it did before?" You'll
have no surplus profits, and you'll lay
up nothing, you'll not even get out of
debt only as you are sold out, while
this condition of things continues. =

Addressing an appeal for justice to

is nonsense and folly. Work with those

together if they would succeed.-Alli-

Chicago papers say there are 80. 600
idle laborers in that city. A non-union
man told us that 80, 900 would be nearer

at anything to keep from starving.
The authorities are at loss to know
what to do about it. Unless there is
change in the monetary system the

Will some gold bug be kind enough
to explain just how the silver miner can
reap profit of twenty-five per cent
by the coinage of his silver bullion into

per cent in receiving those same dol

is dark subject upon which many
people would like to see little light
reflected from some of our brilliant

A Dead Letter.

The Chicago Tribune, by means of a
special agent sent out to investigate
the workings of the interstate com
merce law in the states of Iowa, Ne
braska, Missouri Minnesota and Kan
sas, has confirmed what has all along
been suspected, viz: that the railroads
have been and are shamelessly violat-
ing that law in these states by discrim-
mating in favor of large shippers
giving them better rates than are given
to small shippers, and by giving these
large shippers cash rebates; also by
discriminating in favor of certain locali-
ties and against others. The mass of
evidence which the Tribune produces to
prove these facts is simply incontro-
vertible and overwhelming, and is proof
conclusive that the law is defied at will
by railway managers, and is hence a
dead letter. Favoritism, discrimina-
ton and outrage are thus practiced
upon the small shippers, and certain
localities and great commercial in
terests are built up at the expense and
to the positive injury of others
