a deeper aud a much wider meaning 10 the
word light than has heretofore been or

recognize the extreme top notes or rapid
fluctuations until the tension OF the strings
Is reduced, when tho note Is appreciated

The market continues dull and quiet,

noticeable and there - evidently more
strength underneath than il apparent on
the surface. There il certainly very little

must be reduced to 10Y. Some transac-
tions in Arizona pig copper took place,
but the prices were not reported. In the
main, little business has been done for
home trade, and for comparatively small
quantities. The exports show the UMPIRE

2,240 pounds, for last month, and yet, in
spite OF these heavy shipments, the stats
teal position OF the article in Europe
shows a further improvement OF LOO
tons for the second half Of March, which
proves conclusile'y that nearly all the
copper which has been shipped has gone
direct to consumers. All reports from
Europe agree that consumption OF copper
there is exceptionally heavy, and IL there
has also been lull in the demand, it il
said to be due to fat reports received

come the sole resource of the widow and

ought to be sacred against robbery
through depreciation of the value of the
money in which it is paid. Free silver,
on the basis of the present value of the
two metals. would rob every widow of
half the money value coming to her
from the insurance carried by her hus-
band.
And this would he stmpcnious rob-
berry indeed. The five Massachusetts

class to become farmers or producers or
farm products,
The year 1892 shows a record of mar
Selous activity in the direction of secur-
r1er,. ing larger division of labor by en-
ploying more in our mechanical indus
tries. Our shops were filling up, new
e,nterpr,ses were started, labor was in
nemand at good prices in mechanical in
dustries, reciprocity was enlarging and
extending our markets and we seemed
N Z ,,, every way to be realizing for the
value of that law of political economy
bor.'
In 1892 the policy of protection was re-
versed and thus the laborers from the
sheer necessity to go out upon the lands
ana become producers instead of consum-
ers: 1t has been estimated that over a
million laborers have since the election of
lS02 when compelled to seek employ
sistence for themselves and families;
many of these have converted parcels
Of ground near and around their homes
INTO corn and potato patches. thereby
enormously decreasing the demand for
the products of the regular farm. 1t
of this shifting of labor from the meclan-
tcal industries to the farm is considered,
what the effect must be upon prices
OF farm products.
In view of these facts, all of which can
country. it is plain that our farmers are
directly interested in the employment of
labor and that their prosperity depends
largely upon whether that labor is ena-
ployed as competitors in the production
OF farm products. or as consumers en-
the country. We are certainly learning
from severe practical experience the
truth and value of the economic principle
already referred to that "the greatest
creator of wealth is the greatest possible
division of labor" We are also learning
brought about by a wise policy of protec-
ton.
The effect of production upon the
products of the farm can be summed lp
in a few words. First. will it increase
or diminish the number engaged in pro-
dncing the products of the farm? Sec
ond, will it increase or diminish the NUM-
her her of consumers of farm products?
When you have answered these two
plain propositions YOU will be master of
.he entire argument of protection and
free trade. so far as the farmer is con-
cerned. You need be concerned in no
way, about the free coinage of silver

would have the effect, as MIR. Bryan
admits. of producing panic and CON
lnued depression in our mechanical in
lustries. forcing more labor to the farm
and thereby add to the number already
producing farm products.
Iise employment of labor in our me-
ch.aical industries and not the free
coinage of silver is the thing that inrnr-
asts the farmer and is to secure for him
the prosperity he so much desires.-H.

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

There is not so much fanaticism and
foollshness in the country as was sup
posed when BRYAN captured the Chicago
convention with his ''crown of thorns''
and s'cross of gold" harangue. The
levcl-hcadcdness of the masses is still
to he counted upon as a safeguard against
Socialism and anarchy.
Pnwderly hits the nail souarcly ON the
bend when he tells the worlingman that
his motto with regard to money should
he. The best is none too good for
me-"
A man is said to have injured his ankle
in a silver debate. That's what comes
of letting people with comparatively lit
tie strength juggle with these heavy ar
gurents.
Mr.. Powderly. who says the Bryan
free-silver panic would be worse for la
bor than all the strikes ever known, will
come in for the abuse of the Debsites,
who want strikes galore, free silver,
free rum and general breakup.

have reputation for honesty and have

one who sweats through eight hours to

af1icts Mr.. Bryan. it seems. that led the
parrot of story into serious trouble. He

Neither free silver nor any other cheap.

crates adversely to the interests Of it's

Bryan appears to be one of those men
who think they know it all. and an in
tellisent and observing public does not
need to be informed what usually hap
pens to them.
To put money into circulation is the
need of the time. and that can be done
only by a protective tariff that will re-
vive industry.
Bryan's campaign speeches are like a
minstrel show. You hear one, you hear
them all.
Scared capital runs faster than liglH-

1t is bad enough to give away our
markets to other countries, without siy. i.
