One of the oldest trees il the world
is the yrcca palm, which grows in the
southwes, ern part Of the United States
and in Mexico. 1t may well be called
the pincushion tree, for the Indians
who live there cut the palms down, saw
them into sections few inches long
and round over the white pith inside
and sell them for pincushions. Pins and
needles stick easily into the spongy pith,
and it is said that it helps to keep them
hrioht and clean. Chicago Record.

The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-09-12


Suppose that bushel Of
wheat, a silver dollar and a gold
dollar were at a parity. Then
gold goes to a prerni UNI of 25per
cent. The gold dollar is then
worth $1.25 in silver, but the
bushel of wheat, it's price being
fixed by competition on a silver
basis, becomes worth 1925 in
silver and maintains it's parity
with the gold dollar. The Amer
lean producer is out nothing and
the higher prices stimulate pro-
duction, and increased exports
enable us to pay our foreign
debts.
Even more favorable will be

the effect in our own market.

the effect in our own market.
Suppose wheat is worth in
England ST per bushel and steel
rails 500 per ton. A thousand
ton of steel rails equal in value
10000 bushels of wheat. It gold
goes to premium, let us
say of 20 per cent, wheat be-
comes worth ST .25 per bushel and
the quantity named amounts to
$4,000. The rails in our money
also become worth $25, 900, and
if the trade were made neither
country would gain or lose.
But the higher price of the rails
enables the American manufactu-
rer to fill the order at a profit, and
between the wheat growers and
the rail makers the country is
$4,000 ahead. And it cannot be
said that England won't buy
our wheat unless she sells the
rails, for she has to have the
wheat, and the premium on gold
will affect it's price in like manner
the world over.
A premium on gold amounts
to an additional protection to
the American producer against
the foreign manufacturer. And
it is a protection that, unlike the
tariff, is not confined to our own
markets; it will protect our pro-
ducts in every silver market in
the world. Figure it out for
yourself, and if a consistent be-
lever in protection, you have
nothing to tear from a premium
on gold.

Labor Is For Bryan.

TO the declarations by gold
standard advocates that the
mass of workingmen will not
support Bryan and Sewell labor
makes it's own answer. Not a
single labor paper in the United
States is for Hanna and Nc
Kinley.
Not a single labor leader of
national influence who does not
speak for the cause of Demo-
cracy as the hope of the wage
workers.
Some labor papers have thus
far remained nOnc0mmittal, as
it is the avowed policy of a few
such journals and of certain
labor organizations to reserve
political action to the indi-
vidual. But all of the other
labor papers, except these few,
are openly for the silver candi-
dates and the silver PLATFORM

But if it should happen that,
according to the absurd asser~
tions of the calf wor ,hippers, free
coinage forced gold to premi-
um, then what?
Every dollars ofgo1d as it went
away would cancel a dollars
worth of interest bearing debt.
"But," says the gold bug fedg-
ling, 1--WE will have no money
let!' Where's that silver-that
"flood''-you fellow sing about?
And we'll still have left the
power of the government to Gre
ate money-a power that's been
used before, and the use of
which, as we haven't forgotten,
gave this country the only really
prosperous times we ever had.
And if free coinage should not
break utterly the gold corner, as
they say, a premium on gold will
drive the silver countries to our
markets for what they have to
import; it will put premium on
our exports to the gold markets
and shut the gold countries out
of all silver markets.

clgu 1udIkeCS WueIe we arc COIL
petitors with silver using coun-
tries. In our own market if free
coinage cheapens the money of
the foreigner sending goods here,
through the cheapening of gold
by the competition of silver, it
gives us cheaper money also, and
therefore, on that account, we
will suffer no disadvantage.
Free coinage will enable us
the better to compete with the
silver countries liz all the mar
kets OF the world. 1t cheapens
our money and, by raising the
price of silver bullion, enhances
theirs. The cost of money is a
factor in the cost of production
just as surely as the cost of raw
material, labor or transporta-
ton.
1t is a notorious fact that in
foreign markets we suffer from
the competition of no countries
but those on silver basis. Rus
STA completes with our wheat,
India with our wheat and COT
ton, and Mexico and South
America with our wheat, cotton
and meat. Our cheap bullion
furnishes our European custom
ers cheap money with which to
buy from our competitors. In
other words, our silver mines are
being used as a club to paralyze
the prices of our leading exports.
In the countries named silver
has today the same purchasing
power it had rs years ago. An
ounce now, when worth. only
sc cents, buys as much India
wheat as 20 years ago when it
was worth $1.29. Consequently
if this country would dispose of
it's surplus wheat, or any other
product sold in competition with
silver countries, at all, they must
be sold in Europe for the equiva-
lent in our Standard gold of
the price rs years ago in silver.
That gold equivalent in that time
has dwindled from $1.29 to sc
cents. That, and that alone is
the cause of the decline in the
price of wheat and cotton and
the disaster that has overtaken
the American farmer.
Should silver rise in value as
compared with gold, or what is
the same thing, should gold tall
in value as compared with silver,
wheat also must rise in value,
because it's equivalent in value

silver he will pay that for the
wheat. The price of India wheat
cannot fall as measured in silver,
for it is raised by what already
is the cheapest labor in the
world. 1t can, however, 60 lower
as measured in gold if silver goes
lower, for it is raised on theba
of the bullion value of silver; and
only by raising the value of sill
yer bullion can it's price be
raised.
What has been said Of wheat
applies equally to every product
sold in competition with silver
countries. Hence, the question
of free coinage is not a question
of the welfare OF the silver mine
owner. It is a question of the
prosperity of the American
farmer, and of every industry
depending in any degree upon
his purchasing capacity.

THE REASON WHY
The American Dollar 10 Worth Two
Mexican Dollars.

Mexican Dollars.
! So many references have been made
to the difference between the purchas-
ing power of the present American
standard silver dollar, the product of
limited coinage and the parity law, and
the Mexican dollar, that what will GER
tainly be accepted as an authentic opin-
ion will be useful TO the people.
In The North American Review for
June, 1885 the Mexican minister, Senior
Romero, writes Us follows:
''It is rather puzzling and bewllder-
ing to some travellers who go from this
country to Mexico to see that a United
States silver dollar, containing less
silver bullion than a Mexican silver
dollar, was exchanged there for two
Mexican silver dollars, when pure silver
was at aGuU5 - coats an ounce. Butin
such an exchange the Mexican silver
dollar is sold for the price OF the bullion
it contains, while the United States
silver dollar is the representative of
gold dollar and is, therefore, morchan-
disc bought to pay debts III the United
States or Europe"
The United States silver dollar is the
representative of u gold dollar and has
the purchasing power of gold dollar by
reason of the credit of the government
which adds to the value of the silver
bullion conventional value, raising 53
cents to 100 cents. This is possible only
under limited coinage of silver. If we
20 to the silver standard our silver dol
lar, like that of Mexico, will cease to be
the representative of gold dollar and
will buy no more proporlionally than
the value of the silver bullion it con-
tains That is, in Mexico itself, where
it now commands two dollars worth of
commodities, it will be worth less than
the Mexican silver dollar, although two
Mexican dollars arc given for il III ex-
change at the present time.

MERCER, July l5.
My Dear Sir-My attention has been called
to a report that am going to support the free
silver party in the coming political contest l
believe it Is generally known that am and al
ways have been q bimetallist, but not at the
ratio Of 10 to |. On the platform adopted at
Chicago l could not be a bimetallist on any
ratio In my judgment, no greater calamity
could befall the country than to place in power
a president whose only recommendation for
the place is that he was able to make an in
cerdiary and revolutionary speech that Sc.
cured his nomination who expects to rally to
his support Populists, anarchists and every
other discordant element in the whole country.
The platform adopted was carefully pre-
pared to catch all these parties. The covert
attack upon TIE president in his efforts to up
hold the law and upon the judiciary for sus-
tanning it, Is only n bid for the votes of the
worst and most dangerous element the ooun-
try has to deal with and who are a menace to
any well organized government Yours truly,
