Labor Needs More Money.

All the appeals to the laboring iAen
are based upon the idea that the wages
Of labor do not depend upon the law OF
supply and demand. 1t is true that
labor organizations resist for a time
the reduction of wages, but all efforts
to keep up wages while an abundant
supply of labor is unemployed must
ultimately fail Wages rise when
there is demand for labor and lower
when that demand ceases. The wages
Of labor throughout the civilized world
we're more than doubled by the addi-
tional money supply by the gold aud
silver from California and Australia.
The new money from these discoveries
put the wheels of industry in motion
in the United States and Europe and
created an extraordinary demand for
labor. The employers of labor sought
workmen and were compelled to pay
the wages demanded because the la.
borers would find employment else
where If the wages offered them were
not satisfactory. Gradually wage
sarners ask more and more for their
services and employers were COM
PEELED to stand their raise as long as
prices were stable and business active;
but when silver was demonetized and
one-half of the metallic money of the
world was destroyed, prices fell and
business had to stop. The stoppage
of business decreased the demand for
labor. The aggregate amount paid to
labor has been very great There is
net 33H per cent as much raoney paid

WHAT DOES "PARIIY" MEANP

In his last public letter Secretary
Calisle bases long argument upon the
false assumption that the government
is bound by Federal statutes to main
tain parity between gold and silver
dollars by exchanging one for the other
at the option of holders.
Whenever silver has been coined un-
der all existing laws, all further re-
sponsibility regarding its use, or rela-
tions to gold, ceased right there. 1t
is coined for holders of bullion, and
made legal tender. The government
has no more to do with it. Coming it
at the established ratio makes the
parity. There is no other just or
natural interpretations of the word
parity. Mr. Carlisle's assumption that
parity is synonymous with the word
"exchangeability" is wholly gratu-
tious No law justifes 1t. 1t is Of his
own Interpretation, unwarranted
either by law or fact But as 1t ac-
cords with goldbug ideas OF public
plumber, the goldbug press sustains its
falsity.
Parity means equality in coinage
privileges under the law at the estab-
lished ratio Mr.. Carlisle and his
hackers ought to go to school and
study up the simple meaning of the
word.
But it is less question Of schooling
with them than an open attempt to
falsely construe the law in behalf of
foreign gang of public plunderers.-

A SUGGESTION.

People living in the western states
who have relatives or friends back at
the old home in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio
or any of the middle or eastern states,
have little idea of the value they can
be to the cause of silver in the matter
of educating and making votes for Bry-
an by simply writing about it and
sending local papers and literature to
the "old folks at home" Allen w.
Clark, chairman OF the Indiana Silver
League, says he considers this one of
the most effective methods by which
the people of his state, for long time
under the influence of a gold standard
metropolitan press, were made first to
tolerate, than to investigate, under
stand and finally to espouse the cause
of silver restoration. "a letter from
loved son or brother living in the west
detailing the absolute necessity to the
western states of silver restoration and
explaining how soon and inevitably .
similar condition will confront, indeed
is already confronting, the middle
states" says Mr. Clark, twill find an
entree into the homes the hearts and
conscience of the father or the brother
living further east that no regular
campaign document could possibly
secure. And if it is backed up by accu-
rate and tactfully put printed data,
furnished in such abundance by the
local press, it will make more votes in
proportion to the labor and expense
involved and the number of persons
addressed than any other sort Of prop
gaanda work that has come under my
observation. II you owe a letter to
folks "back home" sit down and write
it now and remember the suggestion.

cipal. If the one man gained through
the appreciation of money and inter
est more than 1000 net, the man who
purchased has certainly lost an equal
sum. The vicious legislation which
has destroyed One-half the real money,
has made money monarch, while in
dustry and production have become
beggars on the face of the earth.
"While it would take too much space
to enter into detail regarding the prac-
teal effects of this appreciation OF
gold, it will suffice to give some indi-
cation of the enormous injury it has I'M
flicted if it is stated that the transfer
of wealth from the landed and proper
tied classes, and from the mecantile,
manufacturing and producing classes
generally in the United Kingdom to
the holders of securities, mortgages,

A FRANTIC APPEAL

We call Mr.. Mckinley's attention to
three groups of states, all of which he
must carry. The first group is the
three states that together make the
Democratic key to the presidency
New York, New Jersey and Connecti-
cut. These are the Democratic states
They can be carried for Mckinley only
by the votes of Democrats. The sec
ond group contains four states-Dela-
ware, Maryland, West Virginia and
Kentucky. These are also Democratic
states necessary to Mr.. Mckinley. The
third group-Illinois, Indiana and
RESPONSIVENESS carried by Mr.. Cleve-
land.
Mr. Mckinley hopes to get these ten
states. He relies upon the public con-
science of their democratic voters. He
has said that he admires these con-
scientous Democrats. But what has
he done to show that he appreciates
their sacrifices?
Do they not deserve some consider
alton?
They show the highest public spirit,
the noblest self-sacrifce, They are
attached to their party. They believe
in its principles, in its usefulness. Yet
they help into power not only an
Odious party; but also leader of that
party who. as the extreme champion
Of an odious system of taxation is in
their eyes not without blame for the
growth of tariff rings and monopolies.
In return for this they ask no offices,
no patronage, no political honors. They
make one simple condition.
And what is this condition? Merely
guarantee that Mckinley shall stand
for real popular self-government,
That he will enforce the laws already
upon the statue books; til at he will re-
sist the aggressions of those powerful
and oppressive combinations, the cor
rupt trusts, syndicates, pools and
monopolies.
Could they conscientously ask less?
Is it not palpably just? Is it not
for the benefit of the whole people? Is
it not in the interest of good govern
msnt? Is it not vital tn the republic
itselfP Is it too much to ask of Mr.
Mckinley an assurance such as Mr..
BryaO gives when he says: IF by the
suffragos of my countrymen 1 am
placed in the highest position in the
gift of any people in the world, every
Law shall be enforced against the great
as we'll as against the small?
What do you think about the trusts?

"'Buda- Pesth, Sept. 2O.-The following
cable message signed by the delegates

Hungarian Minister of Agriculture,
has been sent to William Jennings
Bryan, headquarters of the Democratic
party, Chicago:
1--WE, the undersigned members OF
the National Agricultural Congress,
convened ut Buda-Pesth, wish you sue
cess IN your struggle against the do
minntion of that creditor class, which,
during the last tweuty-three years,
has secured both America and Europe,
monetary legislation destructive of the
prosperity of your farmers and others.
Should you be victorious in November
we pledge ourselves to spare no effort
to bring immediate pressure upon our
respective governments to cooperate
with the government of your great ma
tion in restoring silver to the worlds
currency. We believe that, failing
such restoration, gold will be at pre-
MUM throughout oil Asia and South
America and will continue to rob the
farmer equally of America and of Eu-
rope of all rewards for his toll, and
that your election may avert from the
European source the agrarian and
social troubles now impending.

A RULE IN FINANCE.

In recent issue of the American
Grange Bulletin, Mortimer Whitehead,
lecturer of the national Grange, says:
Here is rule or law which is as old
as civilization, as old as political econ
omy, as old as money: The sum of all
the money in the world measures the
sum Of all other property,-land, pro-
ducts, etc, etc.
Double the volume of money, you
double the value of products.
Divide. the volume of money, and you
divide the value of products.
Divide the volume of money and you
divide the debt.
Double the volume of'money and you
divide the debt.
According to the last census, the
value Of all the property in the United
States is s65, 900, 900, 900, and the vol
ume Of money in circulation, as stated
by the secretary of the treasury, Jan
uary /, 1894, is 81, 790, O1s, 1855. We then
have $3.50 worth of property for
every dollar in money; that is, the re-
aRtion or ratio of money to property
IS to 1880. An act of congress which
would destroy one-hslf our money
would squeeze $3.50 worth of property
into s1s.70 of money, and there goes
$4,000 out of $4,000 farm.
If man had sold his farm in 1873
for $780, 900 and buried his money deep
into the earth, or, as men do, place it
at interest, with one-third of his $780,
900 he can to-day purchase the same
farm If this man has gained 10000
and the interest on $780, 900 for twenty
years, then certainly the man who
purchased the farm has lost 500, 900 of
his purchase money and the interest
on $40, 900. If the man who sold the
farm for $40, 900 in 1873 had placed it
ut interest at six per cent, it would
amount to more than 100000 in 1896,
with interest annually added to prin-

TO the lsborers in the aggregate as
there would be if prices were raising
and times good. The farmers eonsti-
tute fully one-half of the labor Of the
country. Labor on ferns has been un-
productive; in fact, the farmers Of the
United States have worked for less
than nothing in the last twenty-five
years. Their farms are not worth
more than one-half as much today as
they were when silver was demone-
tiled, and the sheriff is constantly en-
gagged in turning over the farms of the
agriculturists to the money loaners of
the cities. 1t is estimated that there
are three millions of men forced to be
idle for want of employment in the
United States, and the balance of the
laborers are working on short hours or
about half time. The laborers who
have employment dare not offend their
employers for fear of losing their
places. If they should be discharged
not one in hundred thousand has any
idea where he would get employment.
The consequence is that the employer
of labor makes the price or determines
the hours to suit himself. The laborer,
in view of the fact that there are
plenty of men hanging about waiting
for his job equally competent as him
self, lives in fear and trembling, and
will submit to any condition his en-
ployer may prescribe.
In every age of the world laborers
have resisted reduction in wages, but
in no case have they succeeded when
the mines gave out or when money was
growing scarcer and dCarer, because on
falling prices of the products of labor
the wages of labor cannot be main
tanned. If the mints were opened to
the free coinage of silver there would
probably be enough silver available
for coinage to stop falling prices and
start the wheels of industry in motion.
This would give employment to every
willing hand in the United States.
There would be no 5O-cent dollars. The
dollars would have the same number
of cents in them rs they now have and
would pay the same amount of debts
and taxes but they would not be SC
dear as to destroy business. There
would probably be enough to main
tain stability Of prices and give suffici-
ent employment to enable every young
man who is honest and industrious tC
secure competency. Money enough
to stop falling prices and maintain
stability of prices would cause labor tc
receive three times as much as 1t now
does, in addition to making such labor
steady and sure Any man who con
tends that falling prices will not ulta
mately produce falling wageseither is
fool or he intends to deceive the PEG
ple.-Silver Knight.

NEWARK, o., Oct. SIT has been
many days since factory notice prom
ising an increase of wages has been
seen in this vicinity. but the employees
of the Central City Stove Works here
today were notified that in case of
Bryan's election, an increase of 10 per
cent in their wages would be given.
The company's president, C. w. Cum
ningham has been lifelong Republic
can, while the heaviest stakeholder,
w. N. Fulton, although a banker, is
an enthusiastic silverite. Nearly all
the employees are Republicans, but all
are Bryan supporters,
President Cunningham said today
that the reason the promise of better
wages was made that the company
felt confident that the free coinage
would stimulate business especially in
the west, where the trade of the concern
largely lies. He cited the fact that
molders' wages before silver's demone-
tization were higher than they are to-
day, and pointed out how all manu-
facturers of stoves voluntarily in
creased wages in 1870, after the pass
age of the Bland act.

TOO MUCH OF THEM,

The Chicago Times-Herald, the espe-
cial organ of Mr. Mckinley and Mark
Hanna, says that "farm products are
! low because there is too much of
them" This will be interesting news
to thousands upon thousands of people
of this country. The Times-Herald
seemingly mistakes under consumpt-
ion for over production 1t is under
consumption that is troubling the coun-
try just now, and the cause of under
consumption is the inability of the peo-
pie to buy, If money was a common
article today, instead of an uncommon
article; if the people could earn the
money that they are anxious and will
ing to earn, the prices of farm products
would jump up at an amazing rate.
While the Times Herald is declaring
that there are too many farm products
there are thousands upon thousands of
empty stomachs in Chicago, and their
owners are unable to satisfy their
cravings Why are they unable to do
so? For the simple reason that the
money they are so anxious to earn
has hidden itself away. 1t has been
made the speculative commodity of an
organized band of conscien celess
money grabbers who are willing that
all but themselves may starve if only
shey can profit by their nefarious
schemes.
The man who has house full of lit
tie ones cannot be made to believe
that there are too many farm products.
There is no logic or argument that can
convince him that there is too much to
eat in the country. The memorable
law Of condition tells him that there is
too little for him, and he measures the
supply by his ability to get share of
it. The farmer who gazes at the re-
suits of an Improbable seasons work
will not believe he has raised too much
of food products as long as he reads in
the Times-Herald and other news
papers of the hunger and distress that
abounds all over the country. All that
he can see is that he must suffer be-
cause condition exists that prevents
those who need his products from pur-
chasing them.
The professor of political economy
who writes financial editorials for the
Times- Herald rubs his we'll filed stom-
ach and imagines that all his fellows
have dined. Having plenty and to
spare for himself he imagines that
there is plenty and to spare for all.
That is why he says there are too
many farm products. If all the hum
cry Of the United States were regular.
ly fed all they needed the prices of
farm products would be increased
greatly. But the people have not the
money and cannot secure it with which
to buy, and as result farm products
are low and people 60 hungry. The
Times-Herald's theory may be all right
but a'practical knowledge of every day
affairs proves that it does not know
what 1t is talking about.-World-Her-
aid, Omaha.

"The gold single standard is in
American idea, yielded so reluctantly
by France and other countries where
gold and silver are the standard OF
value. The annual supply of the pre-
cious metals has little or nothing to do
with their value What is it, then,
that affects their value chiefly? Is 1t
the demand? What is it that consti-
tutes the demand for gold? Is it for
the use in the arts? Very little Of 1t
can be used. Therefore, it is its use
as money that creates demand for 1t
and gives it its value. If all the Euor-
pean states and our country were to-
day to demonetize gold and remone'
tie silver would not these two metals
Immediately change places? Now, II
this be true, what is it that creates
the value of the precious metalsP tits
legislation. Legislation gives value tt
the precious metals and the CONNER
cial value simply records the condi-
ton of legislation with reference to
the precious metals. Now, if legisla-
ton creates the chief demand for
money, if we legislate SO as to utilize
silver, we increase the demand and
thus increase the value of silver.-John

The Mckinley Bill and Wages.

The Mckinley tariff law went into
effect Oct. Q, 1890, and the Wilson-Gor-
man bill Aug. 2s, 1894. The first eff
feet of the passage of the Mckinley
bill was a general reduction in wages
in protected industries. The World in
1892 printed several thousand in
stances of strikes and lockouts in pro-
tected industries that followed the en-
enactment.

"Things were never DIS cheap as they
are now" is comment heard at least
dozen times day, and a stroll
through any of the shops will verify
the fact that goods can be bought for
almost notoing, When it is remem-
bored that those goods represent la
Dor, it can be easily seen how much
labor is required to obtain a dollar.
Take for instance a suit of boys
clothing, which at wholesale is offered
at eighty-nine cents, and even some
as low as sixty-uine cents. Does it
never strike the purchaser that, apart
from the material in those suits, what
an enormous amount of labor must
have been performed ere dollar was
earned? And while goods were never
so cheap. trade was never so dull as it
is now at the present time. Why? Be-
