Fighting Their shadOws.

The sixteen to one agitators who are
urging the people to fight an imaginary
money power are merely warning
against their own shadows. The only
money power" in this country is q
creature Of the silverite's Imagination
which is to be found nowhere because
1t has no real existence. Like the man
whose fears Of ghosts and hobgoblins
lead him to see in his shadow cast by
the moon frightful monster ready to
devour him, the cheap money advocates
see in the effects of their attack on our
financial system the work Of an evil
demon which is destroying business
and impoverishing the people. 1t is
rot credtable to the common sense Of
the American voters that the ghost
stories of deluded believers in free sill
YER should be listened to, much less so
that any considerable number of people
should be scared by phantoms into ac-
cepting gospel one-half humbug and
one-half Reputation.

THINGS MIGHT Be FAR WORSE
Workingmcn Would suffer More Under

Free Silver.
1t is frequent excuse Of unthinking
men for leaning toward free silver that
"things can't be worse than they now
are"
This is a mistake. Matters can be
very much worse, especially for the
workingman.
First.-They would be worse II wages
were paid in Scent dollar or in a dol
lar worth less than 100 cents. How
ever it may be with mine owners and
mortgage debtors, men whose capital is
their labor are not interested in having
the purchasing power Of their dollar"

Second.-Things would be made
worse for the 1,732.3S2 savings bank

able in deprecated dollars.
Third.-Things would be worse for
the nearly 100000 pensioners II their
monthly stipend were to be paid in 49,
cent dollars. !
Fourth.-Things would be worse for
all the millions of beneficiaries of stock,
mutual and cooperative insurance CON-
panies and all the 1.745,725 shareholders

The owners of copper mines need not
be elated with the idea that the argn-
ment for cheap silver dollars is still
better argument for cheaper copper
dollars. We shall not drop to copper
basis. The ultimate resting place for
the popocrats is Predetermined in their
platform assertion of the right Of the
government to issue legal tender paper
notes. That is the cheap money para
disc into which all the advocates of re-
pudiation are logically drawn.

As long nc cold either from I,

....As long as gold, either from its in.
trinsic superiority as metal, from its
rarity or from the prejudices of man
kind, retains so considerable a pre-
eminence in value over silver as it has
hitherto had, natural consequence Of
this seems to be that its condition will
be more stationary. The revolutions,
therefore, which may take place in the
comparative value of gold and silver
will be changes in the state Of the lat
ter rather than in that of the former
