Democrats propose IN some mysferiou
way TO suspend the law of supply ans
demand. There is not the slightes
doubt that the unlimited free coinag
of silver in this country would brin;
down wages. And that is what man.
of the men who favor free trade ant
free coinage want. One of the dan
gers of this country is the reduction o.
wages. 1t will be sad day when tbs
wages of the la'borer in the United
States shall be reduced to the level o.
those of China, Japan and Mexico
When the time comes we might contro
the markets Of the world, but 1t would
be at the expense of our republican
government and Of our institutions
When the wage Garner Is Impoverished
in this country, the glory of our gov
eminent will have departed When
ever hard times have come upon the
country, there have always been men,
calling themselves by some party name
who propose to rise into power upon
the misery and discont tent Of their coun-
trymen. But, thank God, they. have
always failed, and will fail again. {
STARVATION.
-Four years ago the Democratic party
was successful on the tariff issue. What

misery, and distress, such as was never
experienced before by this generation.
Two years ago, the country again turn
ed TO the Republican, party for relief,
the great majority they sent to the
house OF representatives, were power
less to give relief.
why? because the silver trust, led
by the senators from the silver states,
was strong enough IN the senate to
bind that body, hand and foot, and abb
solptely refused to permit any bill af-
fording more revenue for the support of
the government, to pass unless it con-
tanned a free coinage amendment. They
were Wild. and allowed the country TO
go into bankruptcy and the Republi-
ran party was unable to accomplish
their ends. It is but a repetition Of
what was attempted eighteen years ago
under the leadership of some Of the
silver party. They threatened to
'starwe' the government to death unless
they were allowed TO pass laws which
were OBNOXIOUS TO them. Did the
country approve Of their action?
The election returns answer the
question. L believe the effort of the
present consplrators to starve the coun-
try into adoption of the free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver Will as signally
nail. They tell US We need more mon
ey; THAT 1t would result in higher prices
Tor AL the products of the farm. etc.
SUCH is always the cry Of men who de-
siIe TO obtain something for nothing"
