ing CLASSES. In recent editorial The
Waterman says, "The power Of money
to Cypress, through the reduction of the
price Of labor and its products. is the
ruling factor in all the distress now seen
IN this country"
This representation of money as some
thing which Expresses and iuiures tbe
people is responsible for the Populist he
lief that idleness and poverty are due 10
the wickedness Of an Imaginary money
power. But though this doctrine is
zealously preached by the free coinage
orators and press. il is nothing but de-
fusion, pure and simple There is not
now, nor has there ever been. an oppres-
slve money power. for the sufficient
reason that there Is no possible Nysy in
which money can Cypress any one. OF
itself money Is an inert thing, which
only serves some useful purpose when
loaned out on put into circulation. The
owner OF money cannot compel any one
TO borrow IT. and therefore does net Oh
press those who find il profitable 10 nav
interest for Its use. The man who nuts
money mo circulation 10y exchanging it
Tor goods or services employs labor and
injuries no one. An owner of money who
refuses TO lend or spend 1t loses interest
ON IL and Injuries only himself.
The idea that money reduces both the
price of labor and Of labor products is as
absurd as to sag frat heat expands and
contracts water. q decline in the price
of products is equal 70 an increase in the
price paid for labor, since the working
man can buy more goods with his wages.
But apart from this contradiction, it is
not true that money reduces the price of
labor. Wages depend on the total pro-
duction of wealth by tho workers, being
high where production IS great and low
where 1t is small Money hasnothing to
do with real wages.
The fiction of an expressing money
power is as far from fact as would be-
the assertion that iron and gunpowder
are the causes of war. Populisis might as
logically denounce the wicked iron and
powder power for the lives lost in battle
as to blame the material used for money
for the inequalities in social conditions.
Except III so far as industry is checked
10y the agitation for debased silver and
8reenbeck currency, money has no con-
nectlon with idleness and poverty. And
III no case is any one the slightest de-
gree poorer because of the imaginary
money power.

REPUBLICAN BOLTERS.
Sensational Manifesto by Prominent
Members of the PARTY.

ST. PAUL, July 2.-The most sensa-
tional manifesto in Minnesota's history
was that issued this afternoon by the
silver Republicans who refuse to sup
port Mckinley for President or any of
the Republican candidates. The prom
inence of the men signing it attracts
widespread attention. Among them are
Lieutenant-Governor Frank Q. Day,
Congressman Charles A. Towne, ex-
Congressman John Lind, State Senators
Morgan, Sanborn, Howard and Smith.
The address is issued to the Republicans
of Minnesota, and says
1.-THE greatest issue which has arisen
in this country since the abolition of
slavery now confronts the American
people. The common people have viewed
with increasing alarm the effort of
foreign money aristocracy to fasten up
on this nation the single gold standard
OF value. In the past they turned with
the inspiration of faith to the Repub-
lioan party for protection against that
power which seeks to strike down one
half the redemption money of the
W World, that the other half may purchase
double the amount of products. They
had a right to expect such protection.
From the day of the party's birth un-
til the present no article of Republican
faith has been more pronounced than
the belief i'm bimetallism. 1t has been
written in its platforms and taught by
all its great leaders. In the National
Convention in 1883 it condemned the
policy of the Democratic administration
in its efforts to demonetiZe silver In
1892, in it's platform adopted at Min
neapolis, it declared in favor of gold
and silver as standard money. In 1894
the Republican party of Minnesota re-
confirmed it's belief in bimetallism.
'sThe action of the National Repub-
lican Convention at st. Louis has re-
pudiated a fundamental doctrine of
our party. The single gold standard has
been indorsed The Republican party
no longer stands for both gold and sill
Yer as primary money, but for gold
only. We cannot accept the new faith,
and we will hold fast to the old faith.
The policy of gold monome tallsm
means prolonged and intensified de-
preston; an endless and hopeless era
OF falling prices for our farmers and
other producers; continued uncertainty
of employment for our workingmen,
with lessening wages following the fall
in prices of the products of labor; dis
coura cement of all enterprises and in
the universal bankruptcy and gravita-
ton of all money into the hands of
money brokers.
Every man who places country
above party, and whose sympathies are
with the producers as against the mon
ey brokers and bondholders, owes a
duty to his conscience and to his coun--
try, which can only be discharged by
putting forth every effort in his power
that the blight of the single gold stand
ard may not be fastened upon this peo-
pie"
