THURSDAY EVENING, OCT. Is, 1896.
TALKS TO RAILRoADERs.

The Hanna slush fund is rather In
dustriously engaged, just now, in dis
tributing among railroad men, a politi
cal document called "Straight Talks
to Railway Men and other Wage.Earn'
ers, by The Raalway Age, Chicago"
The object of these talks, it is claim
ed, " is to set before w~age-earners, in
the simplest possible language and the
plainest possible way, the vital aspects
of the silver question" 1t is then
auueu: NV nat Is now neeueu IN TINS
country is the Truth, so stated that no
one who roads can fail to understand
it. This is what we try to give."
THE OPTIC will look into these
''talks," in the light of the assertion
just made, promising that they will
furnish the foundation for several sue.
cessive editorial notices.
One may reasonably conclude, from
the quotations presented, that the
stalks" will abound in facts and con-
tain only truth, in statement aud argu-
ment. Let us see. The first stalk
makes this assertion:
If any railroad man has even the remot-
est idea OF Joining the ranks Of the silver
ties, let him clearly understand this fact,
viz: That no matter what railway COM
pany he works for, hat company will
probably in six months after the COM
mencement of the free coinage Of silver,
and certainly in a year or two, be unable
to meet its interest payments and will go
into bankruptcy. This is not a question Of
probabilities or of opinion. 1t is an as
sured fact.
Now, every n knows that a fact is
somethiag which actually exists, and
that the term canno be applied to the
probabilities of the future. So, this
boaated ''fact' of the Age, is no fact at
all. 1t is merely a b~ald-headed asser-
ton, an unsupported and insupportable
assumption, for which there is neither
probability nor argument. WHAT is a
''fact'', a something existing, not a
prejudiced prediction, but a reality
known to every railway reader of THE
OPrIC, is that under the single gold
standard three-fourths of the railways
of this country went into bankruptcy
and were placed in the hands of re.
ceivers. Even the great Atchison sys-
TEN was nj exception. This is asfacts
The single gold standard brou&ht
bankruptcy to the largest railway sys
TEN in the world and to three-fonrths
of all the railway systems Of the United
States. Now. judging what win be by
what has been, we are justified in be-
lieving that a continuance of the single
gold standard will bring the remaining
railways to a like condition. 1t is not,
therefore, a ssfact" but a reasonable
probability, a prediction based upon
experience, an assurance wafranted by
sound argument, that the railroad man
who votes to perpetuate the SINGLE
gold standard. will vote for the bank
ruptcy Of the road by which he is EN-
ployed.
Il is another %"fact", not a predic-
ton or an assumption, that under the
free coinage Of silver, including in that
term the Bland act and the Sherman
law, by which the effects Of demone-

Free coinage Of silver will help the
railroads, because it will bring back to
the country the era Of prosperity which
the single gold standard has so effect
ually. destroyed. A shrinking currency
has paralyzed every department of bust
ness, closing factories, decimating
herds, reducing railway traffic, and In.
scfeasing the army Of the unemployed
by the million. Free silver coinage
will give a. expanding currency. All
history shows that expansion is in
variabiy accompanied by revival Of
business, increase OF commercial
activity, multiplication OF new enter
prises, abundance of work for all, and
plenty and prosperity on every hand.
In a prosperous country railroads can
not help but be prosperous. Traffic
increases. employees become more
numerous, wages are better, money lie
more plentiful, and labor becomes
more independent while it is better
remunerated.
