MONEY AND CREDITORS.

N b
When the Measure Of Value vartes, the
Laborer Gets the Worst Of II.
Probably no question that has ever
been made a political issue appeals more
strongly to our selfishness than the
money question. The value of all the
property we possess Is expressed in the
terms of money, and not our property
only but our labor.
A horse, a COW, a corner lot, share
Of stock, a bond or note are all meas
lred as to their transferable value by
money. They are worth 80 much. So
of our labor, whether in the profess
sions, the skillful trades OF In more
manual e1nployments. We are worth so
much an hour or day or Il week by the
services we are able to render, and we
are paid accordingly. The result is, If
we are not fools. that we want the best
money that circulates in exchange for
our services or our property, and the
less our income the more we want the
best.
The contention, therefore. seems un-
answerable that a government or a
community should establish the high
C6tS vi NISISpN ~
ure those exchanges of labor and prop
erty which constitute the business of
the world. If this is not done and the
measure of value becomes variable, who
suffers? The men who have large re-
cources behind them or the men who
have nothing but their hands and
brains? Most assuredly the latter. A
well-known banker of this town has
often been heard to say that the money
standard did not and could not affect
him, for he could make money whether
we were on a gold or silver basis. So
he could, and SO can any capitalist. 1t
is the man who depends upon his labor
that would suffer by deprecated cur
rency.
It is the creditor class of the COM
munity. therefore. which is most inter
ested in preserving the stability of the
currency and its high value. But of
whom is the creditor class composed
Manifestly of those to whom something
is due from day to day, from week to
week and from month to month. These
are the laboring people. the men at the
desk, at the counter, at the forge. at
the bench and at the plow. The toiler
who patiently wields the shovel and
the pick when nightfall comes is cred.
flor. and he is entitled to be paid fol
his days labor in the best money the
country affords. And so throughout the
whole round of employment where mcr
and women receive wages.
Is it not, then, inexplicable that g
large proportion of those who in the
sweat of their face earn their daily
bread. laying by perhaps trife from
week to week toward rainy day, de
posting it in savings bank--that
these should be led away by the cry fol
cheap money? What do they want with
cheap money. or poor mans" money

The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines
are not necessarily the best. In fact, as
rule, they are not. What is wanted is
something mild and sure, such as Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and. Diarrhea
Remedy. That is really pleasant to take
when reduced with water and sweetened.
Then it is acknowledged everywhere to
be the most successful remedy in the
world for bowel complaints. Ask any
number of druggists for the best remedy
they have for diarrhpa and fully nine
out of ten will recommend Chamber
lain's. In speaking of this medicine,
Mr.. B. B. Buffum, of Friendsville,

What strange madness has come into
the American people to make it seem
possible that they could do a thing OF
that kind? [Applause.]
We can live on silver basis after
we get there. Our great rivers will fol-
low their courses to the sea. Gods sun
will kiss the earth. The crops will
spring forth. Children will be born and
grow up. Enterprises will go forward.
But are we going to take the leap in the
dark and try an experiment fraught
with such risk and panic? A great
French economist once said that when
he was 20 he thought he understood
something about finance. When he was
go he felt he did not know as much
about It as he did at 40, and at 10 he
began to doubt whether he knew any
thing about it at all. and scarcely dared
to open his mouth. Mr.. Gladstone pom

In ten years from 1883 to 1893 the
largest percentage Of gain in foreign
trade reported by any nation was that Of
Japan, and Mexico comes next. Japan q
foreign trade more than doubled during
those years Mexico increased her i'm
ports slightly and more than doubled
her exports. Both Of these nations were
on silver basis.
During the same period the exports OF
the United States increased only per

gold standard modified in effect to some
extent by the Bland and Sherman acts

Yet we are told that the gold standard

Tho Boat Money.

II the "best" money is the dearest
mopey, let us make it 100 times dearer
than II is now. II can very easily be
done. Just pass law that the gold dol
lar shall be the only legal tender and
that 1t shall contain 1850 grains of
standard gold and the thing is done. In
the happy days that would follow it
would take 125, 600 bushels Of corn or
10000 bushels Of wheat to pay 500 of
taxes or interest. Would we not have
prosperity then? Who would own the

"A platform at ST. Louis favorinp

tion had better declare straight out for
the gold standard rather than attempt
to straddle tho silver question. McKin-

New Jersey, Connecticut and perhaps
Massachusetts, as against Mckinley.
He would lose, however, in Arkansas,

it to Kentucky is over Speaking
about the situation, and what it
demanded, Mr.. Bailey said:
"I have no doubt whatever of the
triumph of silver at Chicago. The
old Democratic strongholds are all
in line, and our friends in the West
are standing firm. Tho people are
at last aroused on the subject
The audiences that / have address
ed all showed the liveliest interest
and reports l received from local
leaders were all highly encourag-
ing. But there is nothing strange
about this. Why should there be
anything strange about it? II the
Democratic party, by platforms
adopted and by votes cast in Con-
gress, Is committed to anything, II
is committed to free silver"
"You think, then, that the party
should 80 declare itself at Chicago ?"
ain the most unmistakable terms.
The platform adopted then should
be Democratic from top to bottom,
and it will lie. And more than
that, it will contain a pledge that
the candidates who stand on 1t
will, in case of election, be strictly
and faithfully guided by it. We
don't want, and, If we control
things, don't intend to have, any
more straddles. The platform
must point in but one direction,
and the candidates must point in
the same direction. Then, If we
win at the p0lls--and believe we
shall win-our duty will be plain
before us, and our Executive al.
together to be trusted to carry out
our wishes and pledges. The
charge of d0uble-dealing will not
then lie against any body"
