The miners at the Logan colliery, near
Centralia, where the men quit work about
ten days ago because of a reduction in wages,
are still out. The fires have all been drawn,
and the mules brought to the surface, and at
the present time there are no indications of
yielding on either side. A gentleman who is
close to the affairs of the Lehigh Valley
Coal Co.. said that the cut in wages had af-
fected but few men, and was warranted in
that the company were working that particu-
lar gangway at positive loss, and it had
come to a question of either shutting it down
altogether, or working it at reduced expense

II 50-cent silver dollars should double
the prices of farm products, it is quite
as certain that the prices of all the
products which the farmer consumes
would double in the same way. In that
case it is not easy to see how the farm
er would gain anything by the free
coinage of silver. Even the wages of
labor, the last to rise in an epoch OF de-
preciated currency and inflated prices.
would finally, after much distress of
the workingmen, struggle up to the
common level.
But whether the farmer should re-
ceive 500 for 100 bushels of wheat and
pay out 500 for the necessaries OF living
or should receive 5000 for the same
wheat and pay out $3.50, in both cases
The balance on hand would have just
the same purchasing power. But in ac-
complishing the degradation of the
monetary standard, which could do
neither the farmer nor the wage-earner
any good, an enormous depreciation of
values and confscation of accumulated
earnings, involving public and private
credit in maelstrom of destruction,
would inevitably ensue. Are the farm
ers and workingmen of the country
willing to invoke such catastrophe

per Capita"

1t is more money the Bryanites want.
Now, which nations have the most
money-those with the gold standard
or those with the silver standard?
The silverites are fond of talking
about per capita circulation.
Under free coinage of both gold and
silver the United States had per capita
circulation in 1900 of $4.99, in 1883 of
$500, in 1882 of S14.63. in 1872 of S1s.19
In 1894 we had a per capita of s24.2s; in
1896 we have one of s21.10.
The per capita circulation of the
world is about 1918.
The per capita of the gold standard
countries is SIS.
The per capita of the silver standard
countries is nearly $3.50.
The gold standard countries have a
per capita of silver alone of $5.40.
The silver standard countries have a
per capita of silver of 1922, the rest of
their small circulation being mainly de-
preciated paper.
The gold standard countries, with
less than one-third of the worlds popu-
lation, have very nearly two-thirds of
the worlds currency circulation.
And yet Mr.. Bryan would take the
United States from the gold standard
and place il upon the silver standard

British silver.

Edward Atkinson calls attention to
a fact apparently overlooked by Mr..
Bryan in his denunciation of British
gold"-that British owners now hold a
large part of the silver stocks of this
country and nearly all the productive
silver mines of the world elsewhere
Mr.. Atkinson quotes the report OF one
British mining company which has paid
its shareholders in the past eight years
over S40,0oo,0oo profits on a capital OF
less than 100000, in spite of the pre-
vailing low price of silver. Such a
company could afford TO pay handsome
" TO have its profits further increased.
But of course there are no contributions
of British silver to this campaign

The Laborer Showed Himself to Be Worth
His Wages In Good Money.
Hired Mani heard that in your Des
Moines speech you said prices are sc
low that you have either got to get
more for your oats or else cut my
wages.
Boies-You are right.
Hired Maxwell. which are you go
ing to do?
Boies-I am going to get more fer my
oats.
Hired Man-How?
Boies-By lessening the purchasing
power of money. Free coinage will
give us dollar which will only buy
five bushels of oats instead of ten bush
els, and that viii be the same as get
ting 20 cents for my oats.
Hired MAXWELL, what are you going
to do about my wages?
Boies-Oh, I'll pay you just the same
as I'm paying you now, $50 month.
Hired Man-Are you going to pay me
in these new dollars?
Boies-Certainly; the same kind of
dollars that get for my oats.
Hired Man-These dollars that can't
buy only half as much of anything as
the old dollars?
Boies-Yes. yes; the same sort of dol
lars.
Hired Man-Then, as understand it,
you propose to get twice as much for
your oats and pay me only half what
I'm getting now?
Boies-Why, no. I'll still pay voc $40.
Hired Man-But this $50 won't buy
only half as much stuff as now, you
say, for the purchasing power is to be
lessened one-half; so with my $40
can only get $40 worth of stuff Your
scheme would bring you twice as
much fer your oats and bring me only
half as much for my work. Is this
fair, do you think?
Boies-Wen, every man has TO look
out for himself.

look out for myself and vote for an
honest dollar for an honest days work.

Wage. Go In slowly.

Every cheap money experiment ever
tried in this or any other country has
demonstrated that,while prices respond
quickly TO changes in the value OF
money, wages respond but slowly.
Hence, though wages appear TO rise
when currency is depreciating, they are
in reality falling. The difference in
rapidity with which wages and prices
60 up has been illustrated by prices
going up in elevators, while wages walk
up the stair steps. 1t is certain that
wage-earners always lose and never
gain by being paid in deprecated or
Sepreciating currency.

In 1878 farm products We're lower
than ever before since the civil war, and
the ''greenbackers" were arguing that
the preparation for resumption on jan
uary I, 1879. had produced the hard
times, and their advocates tried to post
pone the date for resumption. But re-
sumption came January 1, 1879, and No.
= cash wheat sold at SIS; by May it was
up to S1o1s4, and by December, 1879, it
was up 10 Sissy. Corn was 29ss in

was 49,.

SILVER QUESTION IN NUTSHELL
Are Our wage-Earners Getting Too High
Wages?

Are Our Wage-Earners Getting Too High
Wages?
In every rural town in the country
free coinage advocates are promising
farmers that sixteen to one would raise
the price of grain and meat and thus
reduce the proportions of the produce
Of the farm that goes to pay the labor
employed. Of ell brazen performances
of the century, the most impudent is
that by which at the same time the
wage-earners are invited to assist in a
campaign to make their food more dear
to them and to reduce the wages of the
most numerous class of wage-earners
In the country.
There is the silver question in a nut
shell. 1t is simply question as to
whether our wage-earners are getting
too high wages. They may as well face
the question. II our wage-earners be-
lieve they are getting too high wages
ant hat this country is suffering in
con 'encc, all they have to do is to
take yer wages. If they prefer a
roundabout way, they can favor free
coinage of silver, and they will get their
WdKt6 cQb OOW1 NAH WlInOuL any
further trouble on their part.
In the light of our experience with
fat money legislation, from the green
back TO the Sherman pig silver certif-
Gates, this long-suffering country will
finally learn that wealth is not created
by fat, but Is made by labor; that the
law can put no dollar into any mans
pocket unless 1t first takes it from the
pocket of some other man. and that
wage-earners are first and most inter
ested In opposing interference by law.
There has never. yet been made a law TO
put into any laboring mRn's pocket
single dollar that he did not earn. He
of all men, therefore, has the best right
10 insist that there shall be no law
passed that will raise the price of what
he has TO buy, and thus take from hin
any portion Of what he has earned
