currency to that amount and
Gripping the country accordingly.
Q. If the silver standard were
substituted for the existing gold
standard, what would be the effect
on the S6IO,OOO,OOo of silver now
worth 100 cents to the dollar?
A. The entire quantity of
silver dollars would be worth their
weight in silver per ounce, which
varies from week to week like the
price of wheat, and the immediate
effect would be to reduce the SOLO,
100000 to $780,, 1000, 900, the
present value Of silver per ounce in
the coins, thus contracting the
currency of the country to this
additional amount making total
contraction Of S9I7,oOo,ooo.
Q. What would be the effect
on the paper to our currency if we
should substitute the silver
standard for the existing gold
standard?
A, The S475,oOo,ooO of paper,
today worth 100 cents to the
dollar on the existing gold
standard, would at once decline to
50 cents in the dollar on the silver
standard, based on the price of
silver today, the immediate effect
being to reduce the value of the
paper now in the currency of
S2375oo,ooo.
Q. What do you deduce from
this?
A. That we need all the money
we have and that we want every
dollar to be worth 100 cents.
Q. By abandoning the exist
ing gold standard for the silver
standard, what then would be the
first net result?
A. The loss to the country Of
SI,I54,5OO,OoO, every dollar worth
100 cents by reason of the exist
ing gold standard.
Q. How can we keep all the
money we have and keep every
dollar worth 100 cents?
A. By preserving the existing
gold standard.

HOARD TALKS FREELY.

Sault Ste. Marie, July IA dis
tinguished party Of Wisconsin
gentlemen, comprising ex-Gover-
nor Hoard, Ex-Governor Sam Fl
field, Samuel Bailey, ex-State
Treasurer Har5haw, George G.
Greene, c. NJ. Vroman, H. d.
Fisher and Colonel Jesse Stone,
were here yesterday for a brief
outing on Espanore, a beautiful
isle on St. Mary's river, ex-Gover-
nor Hoard submitted to an inter
view on the political outlook in
Wisconsin, saying:
The political situation in Wis
Consin, so far as | can Judge, is
clearl y and decidedly in favor of
the republican cause. There is,
however, considerable activity in
the silver and populistic circles.
These men are Selling on every
element Of discomfort caused either
by hard times or dissatisfaction
with party leaders. They are not
patient with the results of selfish
and corrupt leadership. The adj
ministration Of Governor Upham
has caused a widespread ferment
throughout the whole party. His
nomination two years ago was
pressed and | may say almost die
tated by ex-senator Sawyer, and
on him rests largely the RESPONSE
bility of this very distressing re-
suit to the harmony Of the party.
Of course, much Of this feeling
has subsidized since Governor Up
ham has declined a denomination,
but it is well understood that the
Sawyer and Payne combination is
behind the candidacy Of Major
Scoheld, Of Oconto, and this will
prove serious handicap. He
will have enough to meet in the
form Of free silver and other deIu-
slons without arousing the feelings
of the masses against the selfish
dictation of Would-be bosses of
the party. Personally Major Sco-
field is well liked and is a very
estimable gentleman. The other
candidates for gubernatorial honors
are: Eugene S. Elliott and Chas.
Esterbrook, both highly respected
members of the party. Nels P.
Haugen and Robert NJ. LaFoIIette
are also likely to be candidates.
The candidacy Of all these gentle
men can be considered as opposed
to the Sawyer and Payne combi-
nation. If these opposing elements
could unite they would easily
sweep the state and elect their man.
1t is to be hoped they will sue
coed in doing it. The nomination
of Mckinley was received with
great satisfaction by the rank and
file of the party of Wisconsin, and
it was due to the plain people that
a solid delegation for Mckinley
was obtained, for ali of the ma
chine leaders were opposed to the
Ohio candidate in the beginning" "
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1896-07-09

had been present-to act without
his cooperation, even though he
chose to be absent himself from
the State with full knowledge Of
the majority's wishes in the matter
So says Adam and Adam knows.
What if Mckinley had insisted
that Cole should visit with him
until his letter Of acceptance was
carefully revised and ready for the
printer? Who would have called
our County Convention then?
Why, Adam of course. Adam
would not suffer the Republicans
of Wood county to be unrepre-
sented in their State and congress
sional conventions any more than
he would allow them to court
defeat in county affairs. Adam is
a "bouncer." And yet he does not
even suspect that he is a great
man. But he IS. AS editor of the
greatest Democratic newspaper in
the West since the demise Of the
lamented Stevens Point Pinery,
Adam has long furnished the rank
and file Of his party, far and near,
with the principal intellectual and
moral sustenance, which their
systems would bear. And still his
wonderful resources have not been
diminished in the least! He turns
in brotherly solicitude to the
Republican fold. His great
unselhsh heart is panied at the
corruption apparent there. His
mighty intellect discovers the
wicked authors. He .bravely
brands them as the ''tricksters"
they are. He promptly rescues
the honest and unsuspecting voters
of the party from the pitfalls that
rings" have prepared for their
distinctions, and lovingly points
the way into groves that are green
unto prospects that are the per-
lection of Harmony" What a
lovely man is Adam. So good to
the Republicans! So disinterested
in his labors for their harmony
and success! Good man Adam.
Hi 9r00lr Adaml
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1896-07-09

prosperous and the integrity of
our currency be preserved.
The people have chosen Major
Mckinley as their candidate, be-
cause they believe him to be the
faithful and intelligent representa-
tive of their best interests. He is
the acknowledged champion, in
the fullest sense, of that policy Of
protection which brings thrift and
blessing 10 every man who labors
in field, factory, or mart Of trade.
It is the wages Of protected labor
that are the life blood of the ma
tons commerce. With intelligent
protection comes sure prosperity,
without it there is Encouragement,
stagnation and adversely. Wher-
ever there is a pillow held, ham
mer lifted, a shuttle thrown, there
is a person interested in protection.
Every workingman should be a
supporter and a canvasser for Nc
Kinley and American industrial
independence. The struggle is in
behalf Of labor. Every friend of
home industry should be a Nc
Kinley missionary. Every work
shop should be political head
quarters from which should go out
influences for protection and sound
money. The people are tired of
gloom and silence and idleness.
They want the fires in the furnaces
lighted, to hear the hum of busy
spindles, and listen to the music
of whirring wheels. They want
to see the mills started, the mines
opened, the farms enlarged, and
the great army Of Wage-earners
marching from their toll with
cheerful tread toward comfortable
and happy homes. From now I'M
til election time every man should
be politician talking and laboring
for protection, for good money and
for better times.

CURRENCY CATECHISM.
Read What the Effect Would be if we
Abandoned the Gold Standard.

Q. What is the whole body Of
currency of the United States
today?
A. Paper, s475,oOo,ooO; silver,
S6Io,ooo,ooO; gold, S6Io,ooo,ooo.
Q. What is the existing money
standard of the country?
A Gold, by means of which
all the silver and all the paper
are worth 100 cents to the dollar.
Q. What would be the effect
if we should abandon the existing
gold standard?
A. All the gold would leave
the country in accordance with
the never questioned law that a
superior money will not remain in
a country where an inferior money
is the standard SilVerites admit
that gold is 10 times more valuable
than silver. That is what the
ratio of 70 to 1" means. In
truth, today gold is 81 times more
valuable than silver.
Q. What amount Of money
would be thus withdrawn from the
country if the silver standard
should be substituted for the gold
standard?
A. Six hundred and twelve
million dollars, contracting the

Minutes of Meeting.
Union Hall,

OulOll Ian,
Superior, Wis.,, May rs.
Regular meeting of the Trades
and Labor Assembly called to
order, President Grant in the
chair.
The roll call showed that four
teen unions were represented.
Minutes of previous meeting
read and approved.
REPORTS or COMMITTEES.
The committee appointed to
wait on c]ergymen and request
them to devote at least one Sum-
days sermon to the trades union
question, reported they had
visited five c1ergymen, and that
each expressed his willingness to
comply with the request.
The committee appointed to
visit the Anchor Milling Com
pany to have the packers and
na'lcrs rcinstatcd, reported that
the manager, Mr.. Anderson, pro-
missed to do all he could in the
matter, without doing an injury
to those already employed.

The cigarmakers of Superior
are enjoying a harvest at the
present time, no less than
twenty-five cigarmakers being
employed in the different union
shops. If the business people
and 1aboring masses in general
would call for the union made
cigar every time they purchase
these goods, it would not be
long before double the above
number would be employed,
which would mean a large sum
of money distributed among the
merchants each week.

would talk the matter over
with the men as their repre-
sentative, but such was not the
case where the men were not
organized. Another advantage
to be gained by being organ
lied was that a union man
would always be looked after
by his brother members when
travelling from place to place,
or in case of sickness. The
speaker also spoke on the sub
ject of child labor that was en-
ployed in our factories, taking
the places of older and able
bodied men who were idle, and
concluded by urging the men
to stand together for the cause
of organized labor. Mr.. Back
mann's remarks were very f0rci-
bic and were we'll received.
Mr.. \. Schaible, organizer of
the A. F. of L., also made a few
remarks as to the necessity Of
organization, and said that it
was not the intention to run
the union on cheap basis, but
that the object was to make it
beneficial as we'll as to protect
themselves against capital.
Mr.. A. @. \ewberg, president
of the Cooper union, who was
scheduled as the speaker of the
evening, was not present owing
to unavoidable circumstances,
but it is understood he will be
present at the next meeting,
which will be held at the same
hall next Tuesday evening,
June 8.
