ORGANIzED L1ROR.

Organized labor has nothing to gain
but everything to lose from the sue
cess of the free silver cause. 1t is
therefore an amazing feature of thc
campaign that the free silver policy
should have any considerable support
from organized labor. For nearly hall
II century the labor organizations have
been engaged in Il successful effort to
raise the wages of labor The advance
in wages between 1860 and 1890, which
was about 50 per cent, was very largely
due to the efforts of organized labor
1t has succeeded in giving the Ameri-
can Wageworkcrs the highest pay OF
any wageworkcrs in the world. yet in
the face of this men connected with
labor organizations deliberately ap-
prove n policy which would cut down
the purchasing power of wages one
half In other words, they propose to
undo the work of half II century of
struggle and sacrifice in order TO try
the experiment of n cheap dollar. though
there are innumerable examples OF
ruin to the wage-earners resulting from
the depreciation of the money in which
they are paid. That any wage Garner
and especially those connected with
labor organizations, should be found
supporting policy of currency de
basement Is one of the lneXplcable
mysteries of the campaign.
The official organ of the knights OF
Labor, which is supporting Bryan, ad
mits that the free coinage of silver
would cut in two the purchasing power
of savings and pensions. "Fixed in
comes, bonds, mortgages and money IN
all its FORMS" says that paper whether
in savings banks or national banks
would have much less purchasing
power" If free silver would have these
results certainly wages could not es
cape The purchasing power of the
dollar earned by labor would be az
surely decreased as the dollar OF the
savings bank deposition. This Is SC

Cincinnau's Free Coinage Advocate
Looks Out for Number One,

Looks Out for Number One,
The Washington correspondent OF the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat afIirms the truth OF
the report that John II. Mclean, the leader
OF Ohio free silverites and publisher of the
Cincinnati Enquirer. protects his financial
interests by inserting the gold clause in
his mortgage Mclean is a silver Plutocrat
with gold lining. He boasts OF having been
a consistent, lifelong advocate OF free sill
yer, was prominent candidate before the
Chicago convention for the presidential
nomination and is recognized as one of the
chief managers of the democratic campaign
in the east. 1t is evident that he has care
fully considered the depreciation which
might follow free coinage and has deter
mined to take no chances on the detrimental
results which are likely to spring from the
adoption OF his precepts
II Is shown by the records of the Dis
trict of Columbia that seven years ago he
was arranging his business in anticipation
OF free coinage There can be found in land
record volume 1881 at the city hall, pages
1J2 to 1855, a transaction by which John
r. Mclean sold on March /, 1883 certain
land and lots in the city OF Washington
to the Columbia Athletic club. of this city
the sum due being fixed at Si5OO0. and
for which forty-ive 81 600 bonds of the club
were given as security, those being num-
bered from one to forty-hve The rate OF
interest is 3 per cent, payable semi-an-
nually, gold coin of the United States Of
the present standard, weight and ineneSs,' y

ing due March |. 1905.
In the same volume a few pages beyond
this transaction is recorded a cash loan Of
S25, 900, which is secured by twenty-five
81 900 bonds. numbered from forty-siX to
seventy, payable on the same date as the
other obligation, with interest at per
cent. the gold clause being also inserted
The indeXing simply gives the name of
the Columbia Athletic club and the trustees
charged with the execution of the mortgage
and the casual observer would never infer
that Mr. Mclean was party to the trans
action, but in the document itself his name
appears as being the sole party interested.
Hence ~it-is inferred that a continued eN-
animation of the records would reveal many
similar gold clause obligations, as Mr.
Mclean Is a multi-millionaire, and has
large real estate interests in Washington,
New York and Cincinnati
From this single $4,000 transaction, Mr..
Mclean. the bright shining apostle of free
coinage, who based his claim to the prcsi-
Genital nomination on the ground that he
was a practical man, with all his interests
identical to those of Wall street bankers

AFARMER'S EypERIENcE.

An Ohio farmer and wool grower has
in public letter addressed to farmers
given some interesting facts in his cN-
perience during the past six years. He
states that in 1890, the year the Nc
Kinlpy law was enacted, he sold wool
at 80 cents n pound, while in 1898 he
sold the same quality Of wool at II
cents Il pound, receiving the same fig
urcs this year. He also points out the
decline in the value of sheep since 1880.
The experience of this Ohio farmer
and wool grower is that of every man
who was engaged in sheep husbandry
when wool was placed on the free list.
That legislation was felt with partic-
ular severity in the west. What the
aggregate loss Of western wool grow
crs has been cannot be easily deter
mined, but some estimates have placed
1t ms high as $75,O00,000. The injury
to sheep huSbandry was shared by
other interests, so that the damage
resulting from free wool can safely be
estimated at much larger figures than
above.
Mr.. Bryan was one of the most
earnest advocates of free wool when in
congress. His first tariff speech in the
house was largely devoted to the advo-
cacy of free wool. The views he then
expressed he still hcldS to and If elected
president the wool-growing industry OF
the United States could expect no help
from him. 1t would continue during
his term TO be subjected to the destruc-
tive competition Of Australia and other
wool-producing countries, with every
probability that it would become almost
extinct before the close of the century
The wool growers of the west ought
to be unanimous in opposition to w. j.
BrYnn.

Mr. Bryan has evidently forgotten the
speech he made in Richmond, Va. in which
he declared that the inflow of gold from
abroad was due to the mere nomination OF
a candidate for president on free silver
ticket, and intimated that the gold imports
would enormously increase after a free
silver victory. In a speech at Peoria. H..
Friday. he asserted that the gold imports arc
due TO the desperaiesefforts of the fnanciers
at home and abroad to bolster up the
financial system with a show of stability
until after election. Mr.. Bryan he's the

ments of facts to suit theories. instead of
testing theories by facts.
