FREE SILVER AND WAGES.

General Warner says: John Bright
summarized in few words the labor
question when he said it male all the
difference in the world whether two
men were after one job or two jobs at
ter one man. AS long as large numbers
of idle men are hunting places there is
little hope OF better wages for any one
is fortunate indeed if he can keep
the place he has. Moreover, if prices
of the products of labor continue to go
down, the wages of labor must 90 down
Also"
Professor Cairnes says: "Now this
we conceive to be, as general propo-
stion essentially impossible. If the
prices of the laborer's provisions and
clothing rise, this result can only hap
pen (assuming that the rise proceeds
from an abundance of money! because
more money is spent on those commod-
tiles; and, inasmuch as the laboring
classes themselves immensely outnum-
Der all classes who consume the same
commodities, it is plain that it is their
expenditure, and consequently their
wages, which must substantially regu-

short, is where it proceeds from an
abundance Of money! the cause of the
rise in the price of commodities, and
consequently cannot be preceded by its
own effect. The reconciliation of sil-
yer in the United States will greatly
lessen the demand for gold for money
and increase the demand for silver; it
will take value away from gold and
add value to silver. In other words,
the level of gold will come down and
the level of silver be raised. 1t will then
take less labor and fewer of the prod.
ucts of labor to pay gold debts than
now. The gold level will be lowered
the world over and the price level of
commodities will be raised; and as this
level is raised, the reward of those who
produce the commodities (the laborerS
will be increased"
