part:
LABORERS KNOW BEST.
Il want, for moment to invite your
attention TO the paramount issue of this
campaign. The money question is the
question about which people are study
ing an thinking. / want you 10 under
stand what the gold standard means
to those who toll for their living. The
gold standard makes money dear and
as money becomes dear property be
comes chesp and when property is fall
Ing in price you have hard times; and l
want you TO remember, my friends,
that no party has ever declared that
hard times would be a good thing for
tho workingman, the farmer or the bus
Mcss man or any body except the money
changer and the holder OF fixed incomes
When our opponents go before the Ia
boring man and ten him the free COIN
age OF silver will give him cheap dol
lars, want you Aboring men to under
stand that the labor organizations of
this country have declared in favor of
free coinage at 16 to l and the eaboring
men know better what is good for them
than the financiers do
EMPLOYERS COERCION.
IT understand that some employers, I
don't know whether they have done II
here, but ] have known men TO do il
elsewhere, have tried 10 convince their
employees that under free coinage their
pay would only be half as much as they
now get. ] want to can your ettentfon
to one thing. II under free coinage
your dollars Will only buy half as much,
that means that your employers would
get twice as much for what they pro-
duce, twice as many dollars as they Go
now and If your employers get twice as
many dollars as they do now, then they
can pay you twice as many dollars for
your wages as they do now. if they love
you as well after election as they seem
to love you now before election, when
they want your votes. Now, my friends.
just remember this: Whenever your
employer tells you that under free coin
age your wages will only be half as
much, you tell him that you are not
afraid that he VIII let you suffer, be-
cause he Is loving you so much now, too
much TO let you be jeopardized by get |
u No. II sa1f
he can pay you double. but that he |
won't DO il, you tell him a man who |
can help you and won't ought not TO |
advise you before the election. But, |
my friends, instead of resorting 10 ar |,
gument some of the employers have re- |
sorted to coercion. That Is. they have 1
a attempted to make their employees think |
as they want them to think.
SUPPOSED TO BE SMART.
'I saw a sight down IN Nashville. and |
wish you to remember the scene, /
stretched over the door OF a store, con-
tanned these words: If our employees
iont vote as they please we will DIS
.harxe them My friends, that is the
tight kind of a sign to have. II Is bad /
enough at amy time for the employer to
4 aouempt to vote his employees but, my
friends, the danger becomes infinitely
greater when the employer is a corpora
ion, the stock OF which is owned IN
'oIeign lands, 80 that instead OF a cor
pora .soql attempting TO use the votes OF
employees. IT is foreigners seeking to run
our elections and control our instiosi-
ions.
George Washington In his farewell
address Cautioned the people OF this
country against the insicious onfiuences
