VIII Cut Pensions In Two.

The St. Louis populists' platform
throws this sop to pensioners and
applicants for pension:
1--WE favor Just pensions for our disabled
Union soldiers"
For lust pensions" reads pensions
payable in tifty-cent dollar The
men who nominated Bryan at St.
Louis, like the men who nominated
Bryan at Chicago, want TO cheat every
pensioner GU. of half the amount OF
his pension. We say want to cheat,
because unless the makers of the
Bryan platform at Chicago and St.
Louis are to be regarded as irrespon-
slble ana lunatlc, they must be re-
garded as intending the palpable and
inevitable consequence of their own
words translated into acts; and TIE
scaling down of every pension by fifty
per cent. would be an inevitable con-
sequence of the free coinage of silver.
at the ratio of Is to /.
How do the old soldiers. how do the
widows and orphans who are depen-
dent upon pensions, how do the old
men and women who are now in re-
ceipt OF pensions for the loss OF
soldier sons who We're their support,
like the prospect? II would be a
brave and economical thing to rob
the pensioners, wouldn't it?
Every man who votes for BRYAN
will vote, willy nilly, for exactly that
robbe-y. Free silver in the concrete
is somewhat more unpleasant than
free silver in the abstract.-N. Y. san.

An Object Lesson.

D
The ehaaP money experience Of the
United States Of Colombia as describ-
ed By Luther T. Mckinney, our minis
Ter - t8at country. affords an object
lesson for the wage earners Of the
United States and should be a timely
wsrnss1 for the voters. II American
work}ngmen want to know what
there : IN cheap money for them.they
may - well learn through the expert

dLsas1e=oa their own account.
The promise which the free-silver
orators hold out to wage earners IS
thai wages VIII rise il we have free

which me wage-earner has 10 buy
rise L price faster ard higher than
h.s wa-zS, how i Re benefited by the
change
Let's Sc how il worked in Colon
bla. L. - the Congress OF Colom-
bia made paper money payable in
gold q silver legal tender for all
debts. That happened which would
happen in this country if a CORES
poudin- attempt were made 10 put
silver and gold on an equality. Gold,
the most valuable metal, went i'm
mediateiy oal of sight as currency,
AID the cheaper money took its place.
During the last ten years wages in
Colombia, payable III the debased cur
rency. nave increased 30 per cent. SO
far. the prophecies of the silver men
were tulhlled-wageS did increase.
But wait During the same decade,
the cost of all provisions-necessit
not Injuries, not even commodities,
but actual necessities increased,
on an average, 200 per cent.
Take a glance at some of the prices:
Meats. which were selling in 1855 at
twelve 70 fifteen cents per pound,
have jumped to forty and fifty cents.
House rents have increased from 100
TO 200 per cent. Table board has
doubled. AS for wearing apparel, the
people no longer have money TO buy
the qualities which they used to wear,
and the country is flooded with the
poorest goods, which cost more than
good fabrics formerly could be
bought for.
Voters should pause and reflect
upon these things. Is there any rea-
sonable ground fer supposing that
what has been the experience of
Colombia, and of every other country
which has tried the cheap money eX-
pertinent Will not be the experience
of the United States?
This is a question which touches the
pocket Of every citizen of the United
States. no matter i'll what business he
is engaged. II is not question OF
politics at all. it is not sentiment, but
il is purely a matter of business, and
III such matters il is customary, and il
is policy. for the voter to look after
