Speaking of the probability that the
free coinage of silver would enhance
the prices of commodities Gov. Wolcott,
of Massachusetts,, in recent speech,
added the following comment pertinent
to the wage Garner: "Does anyone sup
pose that the daily wage of the daily
laborer will be doubled to meet that
increase in the price that he is to pay
for everything that comes into his
household? Let the pensioners of the
nation pause and think of this platform.
How many are there, 100000 believe,
that receive fixed pension from the
United States Do they suppose that
that will be Immediately doubled TO
meet the doubling of values in all the
commodities that they buy for their
households? (Applause.) How about
the hundreds of thousands of men,
the thrifty and prudent who
have laid aside something in the saw
ings banks on the gold basis? Do they
suppose that, when they go to draw
something from their deposits, and ask
for 500, the generous gentleman and
liberal manager will hand them out
5000? No, gentlemen, the 500 that
they deposited on gold basis will be
handed out to them on the silver basis,
and then with that 500 they will go
out to purchase commodities that have
doubled in price. Think of all the
others who have bought little home
stead on gold basis. Do they imagine
that by the fat of congress that is
20 be doubled in value? l say, let
every man in this community, and that
will cover all but small fraction, let
every one in this community who has
been able by thrift, by prudent fore
sight, looking out for the future sup
port for themselves in their old age,
or their families, let them ask whether
this doubling of the prices of commod-
tiles is going to benefit themselves.
That is the sort of argument, it seems
to me, which must appeal to all to
check this great dclusion."

memory she told me lots. Hattie want

but she didn't quite dare. She knew
how much that girl knew. Besides,
was as sweet as honey to her every time

The soTYv-,..z :, IN terse statement
made by an investment house of what
the free coinage of silver would mean
in actual practice: Free, unlimited and
independent coinage at 16 to I, would
mean dollars worth only SO cents. The
wage Garner and the man on salary
would be paid i'm these, thus cutting
his income down nearly one-half, and
every debtor could pay his creditor
with these deprecated dollars. If it
ever became evident that the American
people were so dishonest and so foolish
Is to adopt such a policy there would
be rush TO anticipate its effects. The
600 millions gold in the country would
ut once be boarded or exported, and
this enormous contraction would pre-
cipitatc panic with all its dread Sc
quel of FRUSTRATED business, idle indus
tries and unemployed labor. In the
crash and subsequent readjustment to
the deprecated currency the rich
would get richer, the poor would be
poorer than ever, and it would require
generation of organized agitation to
bring back wages to their present rela-
tive purchasing power"

Hon. Stephen 3. EllSins, of West
cago Inter Ocean was very frank about
the tariff and the silver mine owners.
Hear what he said: 1.-THE Republican
candidate for the presidency was the
natural outcome of the operations of
the Democratic tariff for revenue only.
The masses of the Republican party,
the business men and laboring men,
nominated Major Mckinley because he
represented their idea of champion
of protection TO American industries
and workingmen. This great central
idea that dominated that nomination
must not be abandoned. The tariff is
one of the great issues of this campaign
and cannot be dropped. The money
question just now seems to lead in
interest, and there is no disposition on
the part of any of the Republicans to
avoid this issue. The question is, Are
we in favor of opening the minis of the
United States to the free coinage of
the silver bullion of the world at twice
the value of that product? This question
will soon solve itself if the sensible
people of the country study it. If the
working men, business men and farm
ers of this country can only realize
that the free coinage of silver is in the
interest Of about 10000 producers of
silver, and can be no benefit to any
body else, they will settle the matter
most emphatically next November.
Being silver producer myself l know
what the free coinage of the white
metal means know that under the
recent silver purchasing act, the silver
producers of this country were paid by
the United States government about
S170, 0OO, 900 more than their product
was worth in the open markets of the
world. Free coinage will mean rep
etition of this subsidy. The United
States government will simply pay
bonus of about 100 per cent of the value
of silver bullion to the mine owners of
this country and other countries Us
well.1
