Gold and Wages.

Working people do not fully realize
che controlling force that make wages
fall in spite Of the strenuous efforts
of labor organizations or they would
take more active interest in the
money question. As the value of
money goes up prices must decline
and wages, the price Of labor. are no
exception to this invariable rule.
Organization has done much to
prevent wages from falling to the
European standard, because natural
condi tons have assisted in maintain
ing the American standard, and for
the rearon that labor in this country
is more independent. But the gold
element controls the situation. and as
prices decline employers must either
suspend business or reduce the wage
standard.
If the purchasing power of dollar
is increased by legislation which
creates still greater demand for
gold, all prices must decline and pro.
perty values decrease correspondingly
Profits will also diminish, and wages
yield to the stern demand Of neces-
sity. Debts, however, have no shrink
ing power, and. like the gold dollar,
will grow in capacity to make trouble,
for as prices and wages fall, it will
require moro hours labor to pay
them.
The restoration of silver to it's
rightful place at the side of gold US a
money metal will do much to bring
back prosperity and check the grow
ing antagonism between capital and
labor. All voters, rich or poor, who
cast their ballots for the retention of
the gold standard vote to diminish
their own prosperity.-National
Waterman.

A Big Steal.

CLARION, (Pa.), Sept. 10.-W. f.
Collner & Co., general store keepers
at st. Petersburg, this county, were
robbed Saturday of $4,000 in bonds,
notes and cash. The theft was kept
quiet in the hope OF catching the
guilty persons disposing Of some of the
paper. Saturday night the store was
closed at 10 o'clock. Four members
OF the firm, the book keeper and clerk
finished balancing the books, counted
the cash and after putting the latter
into tin boxes locked the store and
went across the street. In ten minutes
they returned to the store. The door
which they had locked securely was
standing wide open and the tin boxes,
containing bonds to the amount of
$6O,WO, checks and promissory notes
$4,000 and over $4,000 in cash gone.
A search OF the premises showed that
some one had been concealed in the
store and as soon as the force had
left, grabbed the boxes and followed
unlocking the door from the inside.

Protection and Free silver tho Only
Pianks In Its Platform.
MINNEAPoLIs, Nov. 19.-The Carey,
s. D., correspondent of the Journal
wires the following information, OBJ.
tanned from the smanuensis of one OF
the leaders of the movement: For sew
eral months an understanding has ex.
isted among leading silver men of the
United States that an emphatic demand
shall be made that the Republican plat
form Of 1896 shall con tain an unequivo-
cal declaration in favor OF the unqual-
iieG free coinage of silver. and Ia the
event of the failure of the Republican
party to 30 declare, a new party move
ment shall forthwith be sprung, with
two planks IN the platform, declaring
simply for prote; ;tion and free coinage.
The management OF the movement
is largely IL the hands of Senators

consented to join the movement.
