ONE COERCION LIE NAILED.

Among the coercion lies that have been
flying so fast and thick from popocratic
headquarters only one so far has conde-
scended 10 such particularly as to admit
of instant and emphatic denial. One O.. p.
Skaggs. supervisor, of Danyers township,
in Mclean county.1 Illinois, had the temer-
ity to assert that, he had three circulars
signed by Presideht Fish of the Illinois
Central railroad notifying employees Of that
road that II they did not vote for McKin-
ley they would lose their positions. The
assertion, like all others in this campaign,
in regard to the coercion OF workingmen
by their employers was a self-eyident false
hood, because II implied that President
Fish had lost the shrewdness that won him
his position. But the statement was so
specific in terms that 1t evoked the follow
Ing instant refutation;

yer, for the frankness and boldness with
which 1t makes its appeal for the abolition
of the gold standard and the substitution of
silver. In an address to manufacturers
solely 1t warns them that the tremendous
advantage possessed by the countries which

can be successfully met only By making sill

words, by cutting American wages to meet
the competition Of the east.
For the present we will leave to the free
silver men, who dare not confess that they
are engaged in it, this method of cutting
wages behind the backs of deluded labor.
No honorable manufacturer and no loyal
American will ~countenance their under

Free Coinngc of Promises in Return

According to Bryan, the people have been
defraudcd of 50-cent Mexican dollars and
have been given 1O0-cent dollars. good all
over the world They have been deprived
of poor wages and good wages have been
thrust on them. They have been cheated
out of misery that rightfully belonged to
them and have been compelled to be pros
.erous.
The happy accident OF 1873 defrauded the
people OF the United States out of a kind
of money which would have been worth 80
cents on the dollar in 1878 and only so cents
now. III that was a fraud on the people, II
was committed without malice. 1t was a
benefcent fraud, the perpetrators of which
deserve thanks rather than abuse.
Is 1t not better for the people that they
should remain "defrauded?" They will
have to pay a very heavy price to get back
the kind OF money they were deprived OF
There will be a panic There will be no
none. There will DO a general reduction Of
wages and confiscation of credits The
value-the purchasing power-of the money
every man has saved up will shrink one
half.
So is Bryan a real benefactor or is he a
confidence operator? Is he any better than
the tricky fellow who persuades the owner
of good land to trade it off for some acres
of undesirable marsh? Is he any better
than the fellow who tells some ignorant
man that he is one of the heirs to an Eng
lish estate and that he can get millions If
he will give his informant few hundred
dollars to prove up the claim?
