Now. my friends. when you come

So spoke Mr.. Bryan at Chicago. on
Labor Day, in the course Of what some

worse.

HEARTLEss AND DAMNABLE.

HEARTLESS AND DAMNABLE.
| must confess, Of all the deceptive
appeals resorted to by the silver ora
tors, tEat addressed TO The wage-earn-
crs SEEDS to me the most heartless and
damnable. And of all the instances of
reckless credulity we witness, that of
the w~age-earners who actually permit
themselves to be persuaded that free
silver coinage will be a blessing to
them is the most incomprehensible
and the saddest. There is something
pathetic in their delusion. OF all
things, human labor is the one that has
during the last 50 years in this country
largely and almost steadily risen in
price. Average wages have nearly
doubled since 1910. and have risen more
than so per cent since 1860. The steady
tion, in greater part to the larger aver
age productiveness of human labor in
connection with machinery-in one
word, to the progress of civilization.
As civilization has progressed, it has at
the same time served to enhance la
earnings. 1t has thus secured to
the laboring man. especially in this
republic, a double advantage; a great
ar number of dollars by way of wages, |
for every dollar more of the things
which the laboring man has to buy for
he necessities and enjoyments of him

NJ. L. ingalls,, president of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and Big -Four railroads,
addressing his "teIlow-employes' at
Clifford Forge, Pa. said he had ~receiv-
ed marked copies from time to time of
newspapers containing the charge of
coercion of employees. For 10 years
the Chesapeake and Ohio and its en-
ployes had gotten along very well to-
gcther without the assistance OF the
newspapers, and could do so still. Mr..
Ingalls, told his employees that the right
to vote their sentiments was the grand
est right that had come down to them,
that il was better than all the gold in

suggestion that he had had the expert

allowed that 1t was, but was dubious
about its being worth all he paid.

experience that costs the subject only
money is cbeaply bought, no matter how
much the money price may he.
Most of us have been brought up to re-
gard the story OF Ben Franklin and the
tin whistle for which.he paid too much,
to his great grief, as a sacred example of
the awful penalties of folly and mistake.
To my mind. though, franklin was no
great loser. And, IL / remember right,
the great philosopher himself did not so
regard himself. He kept the experience

In the end the unfortunate tin whistle

interest. Undoubtedly he was glad it

at being buncoed. 80
