A Plot to Rob Labor.

No one but The Tribune and those of the
most highty Imagination can conceive how
free coinage will give the wOrkingman
b0-cent dollars and at the same time en-
rich the silver miner by bringing the COM
mercial value of the silver In one dollar
up TO loo cents. There are less than 80
cents worth of silver at the present time
in 4 silver dollar, yet The Tribune is not
making much of a kick against taking
the 5O-cent dollar in payment for SUBJ
scription or advertisement. The govern
ment, by placing its stamp, or fiat, upon
31lA grains of pure silver declares tina.
such coin Is 100 cents or one dollar.-Scran-
ton Times.
The present American silver dollar is
worth what it's face says it is worth
simply and solely because by resolution
of congress and by instructions from
the people issued when they elected
Mr.. Cleveland president on the Demo-
cratic national platform of 1892, this
government is pledged to keep every
one Of its dollars at parity with every
other dollar. You can take ten of our
present silver dollars to any bank, trade
them for SO treasury note or green
back. send that bit of government paper
to the United States treasury at WASH
ington, or to any sub-treasury, and get
in return a SO gold piece. That is
what makes the present silver dollar
pass current at its face value every
where; that In what makes 1t buy two
Mexican free coinage dollars. each con-
tanning more grains of pure silver than
it itself contains. The people four

votes instructed Mr.. Cleveland to keep
all our dollars equal; and now that he
has done SO. one wing of his party.
which helped to pass these instructions,
censures him for Obeying them. Under
free coinage the redemption OF silver in
gold dollars would cease; no longer
backed by the government in any form
save by a dishonest legal tender clause.
our silver coinage would Inevitably fall
10 the level of Its commercial
value. It's buying value would
change each day. No one engaged in
business would or could feel secure.
So much for this point. We. propose
now to bring out another point In this
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-10-19
The Comedy of Politics.

It is pointed out that on March 16.
1892, Mr.. Bryan, while member OF
congress. and in fact during the busy
period of his work as one of the franz
ers of the ruinous Wilson bill, in speak
ing of the worldwide fall in prices.
said: You must attribute it to the
inventive genius that has multiplied
thousand times, in many instances
the strength of single arm. and en-
abes us to do today with one man
what fifty men could not do fifty years
ago. That is what has brought down
prices in this country and everywhere"
Then, of course, Mr.. Bryan spoke as
the economist and not as the office
seeker. He did not lay low prices to
the door Of the gold standard. He did
not say they were the fruits Of the
demOnetization Of silver of the crime
Of 49," That sort of talk hadn't then
come into vogue to any general ex-
tent. In those days Mr.. Bryan was
free traders. Cleveland had just been
elected by an electoral vote of 277 to
AS; the country had twice in succession
gone against Protection and Mr.. Bry-
an conceived it to be the proper thing
for a young man with political am
bitiOns to swim cOnsplcuously with the
tide. He threw the blame for low
prices on inventions, because otherwise
it would have been difficult ito account
for low wages without at the same
time discrediting free trade.
But look at Bryan now. What a
change has come over the spirit of
his dreams! One would never suspect
to hear him talk that such a thing as
a abor-saving invention had ever been
factor in the industrial situation.
The fall of prices Is today all the ne
farious work Of the iniquitous gold
standard, of the conspiring gold bugs"
of Wall street, of the "2OO-cent gold
dollar" Such poor old free silverites
as Senator Teller and Dicky Bland,
who have been roasting the money
sharks" and damning the yellow dollar
all their lives, have been literally
thrown into eclipse by the perfervid
zeal and torrid eloquence of this young
ster from Nebraska, who not only
rushed past them and captured the free
silver nomination, but is so fond Of ap-
plause that he will scarcely permit one
of these silver-lOcked veterans to step
upon the same stage with himself.
And yet some people think that the
comedy Of politics Is uninteresting.
Both the Republican candidates for
county auditor are experienced ac-
countants and shrewd business men.
They can be depended upon to give
a careful and honest audit to all county
bills and accounts.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-10-19

currency discussion which will convict
the whole free coinage movement OF a
deliberate intention to defraud labor.
We are asked, How could the silver
mine owner profit through free coinage
unless silver should rise to Sl..9 an
ounce? We propose to show that the
silver mine-owner would make money
through free coinage even if silver were
to fall to 40 cents an ounce. At the
present time the average wage paid to
labor in the western silver mines is SO
day. With silver worth 60 cents an
ounces of silver bullion day for each
workman in each mine. That is, in Or
der to get So with which to pay that
workingman. the owner of the mine to-
day has to sell ounces of the working
mans product. Under free coinage. at
1e to /. he could take 2.33 ounces. ship
it to Washington, get it coined free into
3 legal tender dollars and with these
dollars he could pay for one days labor
in his mine. saving 2.67 ounces of silver
bullion on the deal
With silver even as low as 40 cents
an ounce free coinage would mean that
the mine owner would gouge 2.6I ounces
of silver at 40 cents an ounce. or $l.O7
per day out of the actual value Of his
employees wages. although still paying
him the nominal price of So. In other
words. the cost of the production of
silver would be cut in two by free coin
age, through the cheapening of the
wages paid to labor and the mine
owner could then sell at 40 cents an
ounce with a nice margin of profit.
where now he finds himself unable at
gold standard wages to sell silver at
profit even at 60 cents. Suppose the
ownerA Of our anthracite coal mines
were to ask the government to pass
law by which in an indirect but never
theless effectual way they could cut in
two the labor cost of producing coal.
1t would be a good thing for them. no
doubt; but wouldn't it be mighty
rough on their employees? and wouldn't
it also be gross species OF govern
mental favoritism, beating our present
syndicates and trusts all hollow?
We repeat that whether silver should
rise or fall. the silver mine-owner
would in either case stand to win
under free coinage. If it fell to ~
cents he would win 2.67 ounces of bull
lion or S1.O7 on each employees labor; II
it rose to s129, he would win 2.67 ounces
q $1.29 an ounce, or s345 on that labor.
plus the increased value of his output
in general. He would be able to do as
we'll as now even If silver fell to 30 cents
an ounce. No wonder then, that the
owners of our big silver mines are sup
porting Bryan and putting up money to
elect free coinage congress. There is
evidently good deal of method in their
madness.
If surface indications are to be relicu
upon Mckinley will be our next president,
but when conditions are analysed it is i'm
possible to see how Bryan can avoid an
election.-Detrot Tribune.
1t depends upon how you analyZe
them. If you count votes and polls.
Mckinley has em: but if you figure
simply on hopes, then there's no use
trying to beat Bryan.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-10-19

The consumption of sugar In 1884 was
apparently increased by the fall in
price following the free Introduction of
Cuba and South American sugars. In
1895, under the influence of prolonged
business depression, it fell to 62.5
pounds by each person.
DO these figures not show how closely
allied are the interests of employer and
employed? Do they not prove that to
the workingman business activity and
stability mean increased comforts and
a large share of the necessaries Of life?
Do they not, finally. demonstrate that
If both suffer the grevious results of a
commercial panic, both also benefit by
the prosperity which marks those years
when business Is good?'"
The application of these just observa- :
tions to the present campaign is self
evident.
Are there really any attempts on :he
part Of employers to iutimidate or coerce
American worklngmen into voting for Nc
Kinley?-Chicago Record.
Probably not, outside of Mr.. Bryan's
Imagination and the Popocratic cam
paign organs. We have not heard Of
any.
