The year 1892 shows record Of mar

dustries, reciprocity was enlarging and
extending our markets and we seemed
in every way 10 be realizing for the
American farmer and artisan the full
value of that law of political economy
and creating wealth by division OF Ia
bor.'
In 1892 the policy OF protection was re-
yersed and thus the iaborers from the
shops and factories were forced from
sheer necessity to so out upon the lands
and become producers instead of consum-
ers. 1t has been estimated that over a
million laborers have since the election OF
1892 when compelled to seek employ
sistencc 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
is easy to understand when the full effect
of this shifting of labor from the meehan-
ical 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
be verified in the past history of our
country, it is plain that our farmers are
directly interested in the employ ment OF
labor and that their prosperity depends
largely upon whether that labor is en-
ployed as competitors in the production
Of farm products, or us consumers cm-
ployed in the mechanical industries OF
the country. We are certainly learning
from a severe practical experience the
truth and value of the economic principle
already referred to that sthe greatest
creator of wealth is the greatest possible
division Of labor" We are also learning
that this division of labor may be
brought about by wise policy Of protec-
ton.
The effect of production upon the
products of the farm can be summed up
in few words. First, will it increase
or diminish the number engaged in pro-
ducing the products of the farm! Sec
ond, will it increase or diminish the num-
Der Of consumers of farm products?
When yon have answered these two
plain propositions you will be master of
the 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
as this cannot in any way possible in
crease or diminish the consumption of
your products. Its adoption, however,
would have the effect, as Mr. Bryan
admits, of producing panic and con-
tinued depression in our mechanical in
dustries, forcing more labor to the farm
and thereby add to the number already
producing farm products.
The employment of labor in our me-
chanical Industries and not the free
coinage of silver is the thing that INFER
ests the farmer and is to secure for him
the prosperity he so much desires.-H.

and the insurance money may thus be-
come the sole resource of the widow and
orphans. Surely, fund such as this
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 be stupendous rob-
berry indeed, The FIVE Massachusetts,
life Insurance companies of which sta
tistics are given in the commissioners
report, paid 81 ,637 1888 in death claims
last year. The grand total reported of
all life insurance companies doing bnsi-
ness in this state was $66. S51 .471. Can
the women, for whose benefit most of
this insurance money was paid, regard
with equanilnity the loss of $33,0 COG, 900
in one year? There are millions of wom-
en- dependent upon the pay of such
policies; The Massachusetts companies
had 122,6O0 policies in force last year,
calling for 1922, ST4 1922 in case of death.
The grand total, including all companies,
was ], 743, $50 policies, amounting to the
enormous sum of $4,T95, O63, Ssh Right
here in Massachusetts, there is $2S7, 49,,
400 at stake in this way.
In addition to all these there are the
assessment life Insurance companies,
with 1890 certificates in force, repre-
senting $93,522, 457: the fraternal bene-
fciary associations. with a membership
of $4,000, which paid out SIS ,O63, 656
for 1O,069 death claims last year; the
casualty companies, which paid out
$500, 301. All these, which are primari-
" for the relief of widows and orphans,
would have to pay in deprecated money
under free silver
But the money in which the prem AIMS
on these policies have been paid is
money as good as gold, worth 100 cents
on the dollar. In Massachusetts alone
last year $40, 740.S67 was thus paid. Do

While Candidate Bryan is going about

the question naturally arises: What

His most loyal supporters make no
claims that he has ever shown this feel

gone out of his way to do anything for
what he calls the masses On the

answer that the per capita Of circulating
medium in this country has been greater
since the so-called crime of 1873 than it
ever was before (applause), and that it
has been greater in the last five years
than it ever was in all our history. (Cries

So that some reason rather than the lack
of volume of money must be found to
account for the present condition of tile
country.
To the second complaint TINT on,
money is too good, it would seem to be
enough to say that the money Of any
country cannot be too good; and that
no nation ever suffers from having its

TO nations. (Applause) The older men
Of this audience will remember that be-
