MKINLEY AND PRO
lection.

Sentiment Among Democrats in
That Burg-How the Workingman
Has Been Made to Suffer.
Tie Siding, Wyo., Sept. 25.-tSpecial
Correspondence - The republican
meeting in our little town last night
was a grand success, Notwithstanding
the heavy rain which kept many OF the
ranchmen at home. w. J. Hills and NJ.
Z. Brown opened the meeting with a
few we'll directed remarks, and Judge
Groesbeck by his able speech in behalf
of the republican party, honest tariff
and financial laws. endeared himself
and the republican party to many of
our people. We zeal his speech compli-
mented on all sides today. and a demo-
crat was heard to say this morning
that he thought it would be hard to
find a Bryan man today in Tie Siding.
tell you. we poor laboring people
are beginning to understand the situa-
ton and are coming to the rescue of
our own interests by declaring for Nc
kinley, honest protection and honest
money. We are beginning to see that
a fight against capital is a fight against
the corporations which are employing
men strikes . deadly blow at his own
interests. Labor feels the effects of the
prosperity or depression of railroads
and all other corporations as quick as
they do themselves.
| cannot understand why any en-
ployes of this railroad should wish to
work against its interests by voting for
Mr.. Bryan. BY the great good the
democrats were going to do us all by a
change in '92, the stockholders of this
railroad have seen their stocks decline
from 500 per 1000 in 1892 to S12 in 1896.
n its great army of employees have
felt it in about the same proportion
not by those who have had steady en-
ployment, but by those who have been
cut off from its payroll in part or alto
gether. do we want to continue their
free trade policy and add another free
to it in l6 to | silver which would de-
vote and work for the interests Of the
stockholders of this road. who we are
getting our bread and butter from?
Which would be to our own interest, if
en- yyn 1op a., ~ he r.~,1-.~x --l ,....--
for Mckinley and the republican, par
ty. The Boomerang in answering our
questions picked up a section man for
an illustration and left him in mid-air.
We will see if we can't get him down
where he can be with us once more.
1t says, we find that a section man
under the present system at $1.5O per
day can say in 800 days 1925, and that
he can also save under free coinage of
silver if his wages can be advanced to
81 per day, in 300 days $500. Allowing
IS cents per day under our present sys-
TEN and 81 per day under free coinage
for expenses.
Now as admitted under free coinage,
16 to l, a dollar would buy about half
dollar does now, OR in other words,
some IN else would receive about 50 OF
the section mans silver dollars for the
same goods that they now receive one
of his dollars for.
Now We will take that section man
and we will leave him where he can
see for himself. The Boomerang finds
he can under our present system in 300
days say 1925 in gold. We find by the
same author that under free coinage he
will save in 800 days $500 in silver. We
find by the same author that he must
give up 81 of his silver to some one
else for every SIS worth of goods or
provisions he buys, measured in gold.
Now we will divide his $500 by two and
we find he has saved in 300 days just
$3.50 measured by our present stand
ard, a loss Of SIS in 300 days.
Now my brother laborer look at it
and see If you can see anything in it
ehos L hSlp sOu VI JUSTLY you III NOI-
ing for Bryan, the pronounced enemy
Of protection to American industries.
1t will work the same with shopmen,
trainmen, agents and all classes Of la
borning men. Do not be led astray by
the word free, we all remember their
words of free four years ago, and we
all know how many have received a
free tie pass since.
Free things are not always the
cheapest. we all know that money is
worth just what the metal in it is
worth Oh the credit of the government
that stamps it. We all know that this
government could not undertake to re-
deem all silver under free coinage 16
to l in any other than the silver itself,
which would make the dollars worth
just what the moun Of silver contain
ed in that dollar was worth in the mar
ket Of the world.
The democratic papers are telling us
