For this he wns rewarded by purse OF
his contempt for the glit,cring Prize, he

the dog is better told in the language OF
Scott:
The monarch saw the gambols flag,
And hadc let loose q gallant stag,
Whose pride the holiday to crow

SILVER AND TIE poOa MAN.
Cheap GEoncy DisarrAnges An Isusincos
RekaAkor,S.

livery crank WhoventureS 70 f,roselyte
dor free silver seems to think that the
poor man IS his most promising game
The doctrine he presents is that more
money is needed that the poor man may
have plenty. He does not say bow the
poor man is to get any more money,
which is the important thing, nor that
a cheap money is the one thing the poor
man can stand less ably than the riol,
man. The poor man, the worlliBeman,
OF the farmer, are served only when
they have the best money obtairahle.
Suppose for . moment that free silver
should drive the gold dollar out of cir
eulation. The first effect is on the poor
man. When he receives his weekly
wages it is paid IN the cheap money.
He is the first loser. lie can buy less
with it than with the higher priced
money, of course. If he happens TO be
earning $12 week and the dollars are
cut down from gold lgasis TO a silver
basis he will get u dollars, worth pos
sibly 70 cents each, or $6, 10, instend Of
the value that prevails when the geld
standard is accepted With cheap money
prices will go up. What he buys he will
have TO pay moro for. Manufactur-
ers are not going to produce their wares
aud sell them for tie same number of
dollars when the dollars aye worth less
money, The poor man will catch it in
both directions.
Cheap money disarrlnges all business
relations. There is no such & thing as
one standard for one class and another
for another class. The talk Of the debt
or's money and the creditors money IS
bunko. Every man is debtor ana crcd-
itor all the time The worl1ingraau ia
the creditor while he is earning his
wages, until he is paid. lie is a debtor
for the few things he buys without pay
ing for when he gets them. As he pays
cash for much of what he buys. and al
lows all his wages to stand until the
end OF the weclf or month, he is a cred
itor more than he is = debtor. The cheap
money. which is to benefit the debtor,
would benefit the employer who owes
him wages, and who pays the wages in
the deprecated coin.
There is but one standard desirable,
and that is the best dollar that can be
made. The standard is now fixed at
trifie more thar GO grains Of pure gold.
The aim of tie country is to keep all
other dollars, exrld. silver or paper, up
to that standard and not debaSe or
cheaper any Of them.-Ioittshurgh
