What is the matter with the big free
silver guns that they all want gold?
Senator Stewart makes all of his NOR
tgages payable in gold. Altgeld makes
all of his leases payable in gold. Coin
Harvey draws his money out of the bank,
demands gold and deposits it in a safety
deposit vault. Sewell, the popocrat vice
presidential candidate, makes his con-
tracts in gold, and SO it goes through the
whole list. If the leaders have no conf
dence in free silver how can the rank
and file have any confidence in it?-

the necessity for protection to this

cratic ticket, one of the eminent free

RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.
THEY ARE ORGANIZING TO FIGHT
FREE SILVER.

All Over the Country the Men Who De-
pend on the Railroads for n Living Are
Declaring for Sound Money--Logicai Ar
gument for the Wage Farmer.
The clerks and other employees of the
railroads here are organizing sound
money club to fight free silver. Mis-
sionary work will be set on foot and
the work will be energetically carried
on.
These clubs are being organized all
over the country. The total nun ucr
of railroad employees in the United
States is in the neigborhood of 100000.
1t is thought by those who are inter-
ested in the organization q. sound
money clubs among these employees
. at before the campaign is over there
will be 1000 such clubs. ..
While the arguments used among
railroad men are especially applicable
to them, the logic of the arguments is
applica. e to all wage earners. There
is no class of wage earners who would
suffer more under free coinage than
railroad employees. This would fpply
to the general manager as well as to
the more humble fiagran at cross
ing. The railroads are probably the
largest debtors, outside of the banks,
in the country. They owe many mill
lions of dollars for which they have
given their mortgage bonds. When
they borrowed this money they got it
in gold or it's equivalent. Seventy
five per cent. of these bonds are in
terms payable, principal and interest,
in gold. And with the premium on
suits of free coinage, the gold debt Of
the ra. roads would be increased to
just thu: extent.
On the contrary the railroads would
not only have to accept from passen-
gers and ~hippers a 53-cent dollar,
but would not be able to change the
rates, as these are generally fixed by
law. The upshot of 1t all would be
that the fixed charges of the road
would be doubled while tneir earnings
would at Lest remain where they are.
Under these circumstances they
could hardly be expected to increase
wages, and these wages would be paid
in 53-cent dollars. Even if the roads
could stand this strain and would not
be compelled, many Of them, to reduce
the number of employees, those en-
ployes would still be working for the
old wages while the prices of every
necessity OF life would be rapidly
doubling.
While this presentation of the case
applies with special force to railroad
employees, the logic Of the argument
applies to every wage Garner. If the
wages of some of them should go up,
they will find that the prices of cloth
ing, furniture and food would go up
ten times as fast, and ten times as
high.-Columbus (O)Dispatch.

Why Not he Honesty

Chicago Eight Hour Herald Oabor):
The silverite wants larger volume
of money, but processes to want sound
money-ever..' dollar at par. At the
same time he insists on the ratio Of
16 to 1. and opposes every proposition
to restrict the coinage to United
States silver. Then the question sug-
gests itself, if the silverite is honest
in his demand for a larger circulating
medium, why does he insist on a ratio
of 16 to / and that the United States
minis be open to the coinage of the
worlds silver! If our only desire is
to coin gold and silver on c common
level why do we not agree to put a
dollars worth of metal into both coins
and restrict the coinage to the product
of American mines until the supply
proves inadequate? Simply because
when we talk free silver we are talk
ing for a deprecated currency and in
flated prices.

Mr.. Free Silver, If

Laborer-"Mr. Free Silver, If 1t Is so
hard for me to find any chance to earn
enough to buy a bushel of potatoes
now, how will it help me to have the
price of bushel doubled?"
Farmer-"Mr. Free Silver, if it is so
hard for me to find any man to buy
my bushel of potatoes now, how will
it help me by charging him twice as
much as l am now offering them at?"
Mine Owner-"Mr. Free Silver,i you
are going to give those fellows a So
cent dollar, how are you going to keep
your promise to me to double the price
of my bullion?"
Debtor-"Mr. Free Silver, if you are
going to double the prices of the bull
ion of those silver kings how are you
going to keep your promise to me that
l can pay my debts at so cents on the
dollar?"
Old Soldier-"Mr. Free Silver, II
debtors are to be given the chance to
pay what they owe at so cents on the
dollar, how can l get more than half
of the pension which Uncle Sam owes
me?"
Financier-"Mr. Free Silver, If you
are going to make a 100-cent dollar,
why not use the present dollar. If
you are going to change the present
dollar, why trade it for one worth not
half so much?"
Uncle Sam-"Mr. Free Silver, If
build the mill, work for nothing, and
pay all the expenses why should 1 let
you boss and take all the grist?"

For Your Country's Good.

Heads of departments and other en-
ployes holding supervisory positions
on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul road are distributing copies Of
the following circular among the work.
men under them:
You have before you an opportuni-
ty such as has rarely been given to any
class of men in history-the opportuni-
ty to be the controlling influence in
saving your country.
Therefore, organize! This is no
question of Republican or Democrat,
but of your own protection as wage
earners. Organize for the preserva-
ton of sound money-in defense Of
your own wages-in support of the
country's prosperity and the country's
honor!
LET railway men of every class act
together. 1t Is as noble a cause as
ever man put his hand to. Organize
now and work, and when November
comes and free silver is defeated the
people will know that the railway men
did their part nobly for the country's
salvation"

Cart, Then Horse.

No better customers for the farm
ers' products can be found than the
workingmen of our own country, but
they cannot be customers unless they
have employment and wages. Our
Democratic friends, as usual, get the
cart before the horse. They would
have the price Of the farmers prod
ucts increased without giving the
farmer customers. There are more
consumers than there are producers of
farm products. for while the farmers
themselves are producers, they are also
large consumers of their own prod
ucts while men of the shops, mills and
factories are only consumers of the
farmers products. When labor is fully
employed at good wages there is no
trouble about good prices and large
production of the fruits. of the hus-
bandmen's toil.-Mansfield CO., News.

How many farmers are getting half
dollar more for their wheat than in 49,?
How many are getting double the price
of '92 for corn, oats or any farm pro-
ducts? When popocrats tell you what
free silver is going to do for you it might
be well to ask them about the promises
Of four years ago. Remember that they
promised to work these wonders through
tariff reform, not free coinage. Well,
the COINAGE laws are the same as in 1892;
tariff laws are changed. Are farmers
going to be fooled into changing coinage
laws which permitted unprecedented
prosperity and leave undisturbed tariff
reform which brought about unprece
dented disaster? Let farmers answer
with their votes Carroll Herald

Pledged to Sound Money.

Sound money clubs with an aggre-
gate membership of nearly one thou
sand have been organized by the en-
ployes of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road at various points along the COM
pany's lines In Maryland and West
Virginia. The movement was only
started about two weeks ago and It is
estimated a total membership of 5000
or more will be reached before the
election. The organizations are strict
ly non-partisan, the obligation taken
by those joining merely binding them
to vote in favor of sound money.

very creditably rendered by every character.
The hall was crowded to overlooking with
an appreciative audience. The music which
was one Of the entertaining features of the
evening was we'll rendered by an orchestra
from Frederick.

Mckinley.

At the Opening Of the Republican
campaign it looks as thong Hon. Will
lam Mckinley of Ohio Is about to run
off with the nomination. Thus far he
has a big lead and has been able in States
where there are local candidates, New
York for instance, to secure delegates in
some of the congressional district con
ventions.
With Mckinley the candidate, the
republican campaign will be made one
of Tariff, while with Morton of New
York the financial question could easily
be forced upon the Republicans. With
the former as the chief issue, that party
would have much palmer sailing.
