Hours Cut to Eight.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 12-The en-
ployes of the Chicago, Milwaukee q
st. Paul road at the West Milwaukee
shops have been put on an eight-hour
day, reduction of one hour a day.
The men are paid by the hour. About
1000 men are affected by the change.
The assistant superintendent in
charge of the works said today that
the reason why there had been a
reduction was the fact that traffic had
fallen off and business generally was
dull. Within the last three days
three switching crews have been laid
off in the ST. Paul yards.

For the Love of a Girl.

Boscobel, Wis, Nov. 10 Henry
Clark, a well-known young farmer liv-
ing in the village of Millet, Crawford
county, just north of here, attempted to
commit suicide by shooting himself in
the head. He had been keeping COM
pany with a young and pretty music
teacher at Stuben. Young Clark went
to call on the young girl, and when he
left he asked her to marry him, saying
that if she refused he would kill him
self there. The young girl did not ac-
cept the offer, and Clark drew re-
volver from his hip pocket and shot
himself just back of the ear. He isstill
living, but has little hope of recovery.

Another of those queer rigs, some
times called prairie schooners, went

differed from the other some in that it
was drawn by a couple Of good, strong
| looking horses and did not contain a
worn, bedraggled looking woman or
two. It's sole occupants were two, "a
young lad and an old gentleman. ;. On
being interviewed the young fellow said
that they had driven from the southern
part of South Dakota and were expect
ing to reach West Point before they
gave up the journey. What their pur-
pose was or why they should have
chosen that way Of travel could not be
learned. Certainly they seemed well
equipped with all the necessaries of
life and were by no means compelled to
beg their way along. They passed
through here about 10 o'clock this
morning, only stopping long enough to
purchase a few provisions and a pair of
mittens.

rarmers Want cheap NEoney..

The advocates Of free coinage in the
west and south don't take any stock
in Bryan's occasional assertion that BE
contends" that the adoption Of this
policy would put up the price Of silver
to $L29 Indeed they would lose ali
interest in the agitation if they sup
posed that the silver dollar under free
coinage was to be worth as much as
the gold dollar is now. The real scnti-
mcnts Of these people are clearly ox-
pressed by James Kitchen, an extensive
farmer and stockman of Grayson, Ky,
who, when asked tine other day why he
was for free silver, made this reply:
| am for free SILVER because am i'm debt.
and if WE got free coinage 1 can pay my do.t-
with onc-half Of what it now costs under our
pre- cnt money standard. And another reason,
employ laLorcrs on my farm. They are the
creditors. am the debtor. Under free coin
age ! can pay them with one-half 1t costs ne
now. for II will raise the price Of products.
and l can thon hire my farm help for 90 cDLts
n day and pay them in bacon 40 Is cent, O.
pound.
1t must become more and more plain
as the campaign proceeds, that ibis j,
the motive and must be the result of the
free coinage agitation. The question at
issue will thus finallyresolye itself inc
the larger question. whether the Ameri-
can people still believe that honesty Is
the best policy.

which? which?

In communities where wageworkers
predominant Mr.. Bryan continues to
deny any intention Of cheapening the
dollar. He knows and they know that
this would mean diminishing by one
half the purchasing power Of wages and
reducing by one-half the value of all
savings, assurances and loans. And so
he pretends that free coinage will ILL
crease by nearly one-half the price Of
silver and make a silver dollar worth
truly as much as a gold one.
But in the west and in farming COM
munities Mr.. Bryan wakes eloquent on
the need of cheaper dollar TO increase
the price Of farm products and enable
the farmer to pay 500 of debt with SOL
in silver Leading silver advocates at
the west have repudiated Mr.. Bryan's
idea for eastern hearers only that free
coinage will increase the price Of silver
to $I.29. They say fatty that such dol
lars would be as bad as gold What
they want is a dollar worth only oil
cents.
Which dollar does Mr. Bryan really
want? He caunet have both. Which is
to be bunkoed-the workingman or the
farmer, the mine owner or the debtorf
Wbich?-New York World.

Nothing In 1t For Wage Farmers.

Mr.. Bryan has claimed that the free
coinage Of silver would benefit the
working PEOPLE. How they would Sc
cure anything from the free coinage Of
silver he does not say, perhaps because
he does not know. 1t is certainly deep
mystery. In no way that the probable
course Of events can be forecasted can
any advantage for the working people
be reasonably shown.
Everything that a man buys for con-
sumption in the household would be
raised in price Would wages be in
creased in proportion? 1t is not probable
that they would for years, If ever. As
soon as it became apparent that the free
coinage Of silver would be undertaken
prices would be advanced, bat wages
would remain stationary until employ
ers could ascertain how they would be
affected. With the heavy losses that
many concerns would be compelled TO
meet through the payment Of outstand-
ing accounts and notes in deprecated
dollars, it is very probable that the
workingman would have TO wait long
time for his wages to be raised. in the
interval he would have ample oppor-
tunity to realize the stupendous folly
of the United States coming silver dol
lars at the ratio Of rs to l and debasing
its money, the lifoblood Of commerce.

nrxan,. Rotten Egg Argument.

As a contribution to financial am
economic thought the following utter
ance Of Mr.. Bryan, made in Kentucky,
is the most remarkable yet offered even
by him:
IF any man in this community woul
offer to buy all the eggs produced Al p
cents a dozen and was able to mako
good the offer, nobody would sell ogg
for less, 10 matter what the cost q
production, whether / cent or cents a
dozen. So with silver Free coinage
would establish the market price Of sill
yer at $l.29, and nob-dy would sell II
for a cent less "
Why limit the price Of eggs to %
cents and Of silver to $l.29? If the rca-
soning is sound, the price in each case
might easily be doubled, and the conso-
quent benefit TO the human race CORE
spondingly increased And why stop
with eggs and silver: Why not mark up
the price Of everything you wish TO
buy-offer to pay double or treble what
is asked for it and keep on paying that
price to all comers--hold it therei
That's all you have to do--hold 1t
there. Nobody would sell it for cent
less" says Bryan, so long as you held
it. $50 with silver. And the man
who is putting forth such thought as
this is candidate for the presidency Of

THE SILVER QUESTION lNANUTsHELL
Free Coinage of Bricks Would Not Raise
Their Price.

Their IFitt.
Did you ever stop to think what
would be the result if the government
should by legislation determine that or
binary building bricks ? by 4 by s
inches in size should be legal tender in
any amount for 81 each and should ar
range TO have them so stamped in any
quantity free of cost to the persons pre-
senting them?
Under such circumstances the price
of building bricks would at once advance
to 81, 900 a thousand, for if they could
be COINED" without cost the bricks
"uncoined" would be worth just as
much as the "coined" bricks-$1 each
But did it ever occur to you that II
would not be an advance in the value Of
the bricks, but a decrease in the value
Of the dollars, which would thus estab
lish a new parity between money and
property :" that under such a system
$1,000 would be worth only LOCO
bricks; that that l, 600 bricks would
exchange for no more commodities OF
labor than it does today, and conse-
quently that 81 600 would mean no
more to us than 1000 bricks do now?
In other words, our government can
determine by legislation what emmod-
ity and what amount Of that commodity
81 shall be, but it must leave it to the
laws of comparative supply and de-
mand, cost of production, etc, TO de-
termipe what the value Of that COM
modify shall be. 1t may declare that a
brick shall be a dollar, in which case
81 will be worth whatever brick Will
exchange for. 1t may declare that 20. 9
grains Of gold shall be a dollar, in
which case 81 will be worth whatever
20. s grains Of gold will exchange for,
or it may declare that 412la grains Of
silver shall be dollar, in which case 81
will be worth only what 4l2l2 grains Of
silver will exchange for, the same to-
day as 50.3 cents in gold, or "giving
the debtor the option" as to what dollar
he shall use with which to pay his
debts, it may declare that each of these
three shall be dollar, in which case
81 will be worth just as much as the
least valuable of the three, which under
present conditions would be the brick.
