itself upon the attention of Il e
voters, No one has called their
attention to it. Political econo
my teaches that property hs S
value only in proportion to it's
usefulness and the difficulty of
obtaining it, and that money
possesses worth only as a medi-
um which may be exchanged for
something Of value. If this
medium beg deficient a smaller
Quantity oft will be exchanged
forthings ofNalue..than would
be the case if there be a nominal
amount present, or the medium
be somewhat in excess. The fact
Of ffuctuation in the amount Of
the medium in a country may be
noted by the gradual change Of
general prices. When general
prices rise it is significant that
the medium Of exchange is in
creasing in quantity, and when
general prices lower1t IS sin16cant
that the medium Of exchaege is
decreasing in quantity A careful
study Of prices for rhepast TWEEN
ty years will convince any un-
biased thinker that general prices
have gradually fallen, the signifi-
rance Of Whichscan bear but one
Interpretation. These facts Mr..
Bryan hac clearly and conlusive-
~ pointed out to the people and
he proposes III justice to the body
polite that the medium Of ex-
change be increased by placing
silver on the same basis with
gold, and allowing it's free and
unlimited coinage. It is said,
and With some show of reason,
that the creditor class would
suffer, but some suffering follows
any and all legislation, and the
question which confronts the
honest voter is this: Is it better
that fraction Of the people be
made to suffer rather than that
the whole nation continue IN its
present financial condition?
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1896-09-14

er; we therefore declare that the
interests Of the people of the
United States imperatively de
mand the restoration of the free
coinage of silver as it existed at
the time of it's demonatizat ton IN
1873; and that, too, without
waiting the consent of any other
nation on earth, and we cordial
ly invite all persons, irrespective
Of party, to join us in securing
the triumph f=tfis SO closely
connected with the prosperity Of
ouf* cou11trymen. Z
We,condemn the action Of the
republican party in releasing
judgments leagal1y obtained
against former state treasurers
as a grave breach of public faith
and in direct contravantion Of
the solemn pledges Of that party
to the country.
We favor. co-employe bill that
will efficiently protect. the en-
ploye against the negligence of a
|co--employer land recommend i'm
mediate legislation to that end.
While we recognize the right. of
all classes Of our citizens to vote
as their convictions dictate, we
enter~ou1, solemn protest against
the moneyed and corporate
interests III their attempt to coli
troll this election by intimidation
and corruption. We therefore
look with great apprehension
upon the fact t}'erepublican CAM
paign in the west is placed under
the immediate direction and con
troll of a recognized oppressor Of
labor and corruption Of legisla-
ton, and we especially insist at
this time upon the right ofhee
speech and the largest freedom
Of action.

He arrived just in the nick of time at

As such he may have appeared to the
