AS WE sow, WE REAP.

thing for the gold men TO attribute
these events to free silver and tell
US this is what it means. Wait un
/. til free silver comes and then Judge
It by its works, but in the mean
time, our dear gold standard friends,
take your medicine. You are not
experiencing the effects of the com
ing of free silver, but are expert
enclng the legitimate and inevita'
ble effect of parting with it in 1873.
The hurt to silver, though thirty
million a year, is but the Fly on a
wheel" When silver was thrown
out of its work as money, turned
into a commodity and reduced in
price year by year by constantly
increasing and appreciating gold
standard, every other product and
commodity has broken down with
it. The whole base upon which all
the securities that Wall street deals
in, and billions more that do not
come to Wall street at all, has been
undermined and crumbled by the
loss of products on production, by
low prices brought on year by year
by the growing standard of value"
that in 1873 was substituted for our
monetary unit of silver. We have
sown low prices in the foundation
and are reaping them in the super
structure. We are getting, not
the coming of free silver, but legiti-
mate ending of the failure of the
gold policy. 1t has run us to the
limit in our basic operations and
now the enormous and towering
structure of debt built upon labor.
Now proitless labor, is feeling the
effect of weakened foundations,
that is all. Railroads cutting rates
until increased business only means
increased deficit, fac tories piling up
products or shutting down, or sell
ing at cost and a little under in or
der to prevent deterioration of ma
chinerv by idleness, the disorgani-
zation of working force, and worst
of all, the loss of channels OF trade
built up during many years and now
the most valuable part of their cap
ital, are all experiencing what the
gold policy done for them and by
and by they will attribute their
troubles to the true cause. When
they do there will be a heavy reck-
oning.
When silver comes rising prices
will set in, aud slowly and surely we
shall get back to profit for produc-
tion, good times, solvency for all
that has not previously succumbed.
But before that comes good many
interests and industries will have
perished by the wayside.
The Chicago Record has car
toon representing the goldbug Dem
ocrats in hand-a-round dance over
the news from Maine. They are all
laughing, and some of them are
throwing their hats in the air. The
Record is fair enough to place their
names on their collars, that all can
see who they are. We recognize by
this means, Simon Bolivar Buckner,
Gen. John M. Palmer, Whitney
Carlisle and many others, of the

hit the nail on the head in this pic
ture, and it shows that the gold
bugs intention is not to elect then
ticket, but to aid and abet the Re.
publicans in placing this country il
the hands of the monopolists an(
money sharks of foreign nations.
We find the contraction of the
currency shown by the reports Of
the treasury department We fine
property falling in value. We fine
labor out of employment; we fine
business paralyzed; we find that
men do not want to invest in prop
erty for fear they will lose; every
body wants to invest in money be-
cause moneys the only thing that
is rising. This, my friends, is the
condition which confronts us
