TIE pOPIIIST'S PRIDE.

THE POPULIST' S PRIDE.
1t was broiling hot day in July, but
despite the torrid rays Of the sun and
the blasting hot prairie winds the farm
ers for miles around Saharayille, Sock
less county, Kan, had gathered at the
great free silver convention.
Who is it they regard so intently on
this day of all days, marking point by
point his arguments-that slight, boy
ish figure that is the cynosure Of all
eyes? 1t is he, our hero, Free Silver
Sam, the Boy Bimetallist. He is rush
ing in where presidential candidates

Want silver MonometaIIIsm.

Some Of the silverites are profuse iii
their protests that they only want BIZ
metallism and do not wish to cease
nsing gold as a standard Of values or to
drive it ont of circulation. But it is
only necessary to read the papers and
speeches in which the free coinage doc
trine is preached to see that, while pre-
tending to favor using gold, they really
want silver alone. The wholesale de-
nunciation of gold as money Of tho
rich," as "a standard which robs
debtors for the benefit Of creditors, "
etc, shows that it is not merely love
Of silver, bat hatred Of gold, which
inspires these attacks. Why not be hon
est, Messrs. Silverites, and admit that
in advocating a policy which, ON the
confession Of that eminent bimetallist,
President E. B. Andrews, "would drive
all our gold out Of the country, you
are working for the silver standard!

Building and Loan Associations In Danger.

Building and Loan Associations In Danger.
A remarkable feature of the past 20
years has been the great increase in the
number Of associations formed by work
men for the purpose of securing houses,
or for investing their savings in i'm
proved real estate This method Of util-
izing series of weekly or monthly pay
ments for the purchase Of property has
proved so successful that thore are now
thousands Of loan associations, with
hundreds of thousands Of members.
To every man who has invested his
savings in building and loan society
the threat of free silver coinage is of the
greatest importance. Openly advocated
as a method of enabling debtors to cheat
their creditors ont of half their debts,
the evil Of 90 cent dollars would prove
especially severe ON those whose little
capital is loaned out through these asso-
Citations. Under free silver the borrow
ers would pay off their debts in dollars
worth but half of those loaned. This
would mean the practical confscation
of one half Of all the money which the
workingmen have with years Of self
denial managed to save. Do the Amer
lean people wish to enact law which
would perpetrate so great an injusticef

THE DAY OF REChONlNt.
Another meeting Of the Populists OF
Kansas. But this time there were omi-
nous looks and fierce gestures on al
sides. For was it not rumored that theil
idol, Free Silver Sam, wore false whis-
kers and held gold mortgages?
Calmly the Boy Bimetallist faced the
angry throng.
"Friends, " he said, sit is true Iworf

of deceiving you, but as disguise be-

What the Gold Standard Does For the
WorkinKman.

"What will the gold standard do for
the workingman?" asks the editor Of an
alleged labor paper. The answer is easy.
1t will continue to do just what 1t has
been doing whenever adopted. 1t will
furnish him with standard OF values
which makes it certain that his wages
Will not fall through decline in their
purchasing power. 1t will enable him
to buy more goods Of all kinds than II
he received cheaper money. 1t will guar
antee him against being paid in a de-
preciated or fuctuating currency. 1t
will make his deposits IN the savings
bank worth as much year or Eve years
hence as they are now.
By giving business a stable financial
basis it will enable his employers to
run their business steadily, thus insur-
ing him against loss Of work through
the unsettlement of industry, which
would exist under the silver standard.
1t will help extend our foreign trade by
keeping our commerce on the same ba-
sis as that Of the leading nations Of the
world, and thus aid in making markets
for his surplus products. 1t will serve
his best interests by encouraging the
accumulation Of capital and its invest
ment in productive industry and so add
ing 10 the demand for labor. 1t will
create a common interest between all
countries having the same standard,
and thus tend to diminish the national
jealousies and wars which in the long
run injure most the workingman. 1t
will give him the standard Of values
used by all the highest wage paying
countries Of the earth, instead Of that
ased by the Chinese, Hmdoos and Mex
leans. These are some Of the things
which the gold standard will do for the
workingman. Will the 90 cent dollars
