Our Popoeratlc contem poraries
sneeringly suggest that Republican
orators are just now extremely
anxious for the welfare of American
laborers. They have not yet opened
their eyes to the fact that lack of en-
ployment and distress among the Ia
boring classes is preceded always by
lack of employment of capital. They
forget that every interest of capital
and the capitalist is enhanced when
labor is profitably employed.

The advocate of free coinage in
sists that the demand to be created
by free coinage law will enhance
the price of silver and bring it to or
near parity with gold. If this be
SO how will laborers and farmers be
able to get it any easier than they
can now get gold? But the expert
ence of France disproves this con-
tention- Prior to 1858 France was
on a silver basis, gold having gone
out of circulation because of pre-
mium of about II per cent; in 1858
demand for silver for export from
Europe to India raised the CONNER
cial value of silver to a premium
and France began the coinage of
gold. For five years she coined 80
per cent of the worlds product and
yet gold during that time deprecated
one per cent. In 1859 she coined
$13O,OOO, 900, which was $10,O00,0OO
in excess of the entire product of the
world for that year, and yet the price
continued to fall and at the close of
that year was 2 per Cent below par
of silver.

PROTECTION AND FREE COINAGE

The merchant and the producer
who resides within our city limits
pays taxes upon his investment; the
transient peddler and hawker should
be compelled, if he is not, to pay a
license for the privilege of selling
the goods he has accumulated or
manufactured elsewhere. This is the
essential principle of the protective
tariff, and it has been demonstrated
SO many times that the foreign pro-
ducer pays the tax that there should
be no need Of further discussion.
Under high tariff in the United
States the tin manufacturers of Wales
made nothing and the potato produc-
ers of Canada and Nova Scotia had
no market for the great surplus of
potatoes they produce, because they
could not pay the Importation tax
and make money. Our Democratic
silverite denounces the unfairness of
protecting the sheep industry and re-
fusing to help, by law, the silver
mine owner. The Republican party
is willing to protect the mine owner
in the same way he does the sheep
man, but it will never consent tc say
to the mine owner or any other class,
you may compel your creditor to
take coin bearing the government
stamp which is of less value than the
dollar you received. It has always
been and always will be funda-
mental principle of the Republican
party to pay. as we agreed to pay.
