He Addresses . Mass Meeting OF Laborofs
ON tho Currency Qucstion-Choap Money
Everywhere and Always the Enemy Of
Labor 1T Reduced Actual Wages in Chile
and Mexico and Would Do So In This
Country.
The following is an extract from the
clear, forcible and unanswerable speech
Of Secretary John G. Carlisle at Chica.
go on April 10:
Money received for wages, like money
received on every other account, is val
liable only to the extent that 1t can be
exchanged for other commodities, and
1t is scarcely necessary to suggest that
o dollar worth so cents will not pur-
chase as much in the markets as dol
lar worth 100 cents To call dime
dollar would add nothing whatever to
its intrinsic value or to its purchasing
power. II these propositions are correct
1t is clear that when wages are paid In
a deprecated currency the rates Of
wages must be increased in proportion
to the depreciation Of the money and
in proportion to the increase In the
prices Of other things or the laborer
will suffer loss.
But affirm that it is the universal
rule that the rates Of wages do not in
crease in proportion to the depreciation
in the value Of the money In which
they are paid. and that when the cur.
rency is deprecated the rates Of wages
do not increase in proportion to the in
crease In the prices of the commodities
the laborer is compelled to purchase.
Wartime Wages end Prices.
In 1862 the wages Of labor, paid in
deprecated paper, were less than 8 per
cent higher in paper than when paid In
gold, but the prices Of the 228 articles
used by the laborers and other people in
the maintenance of their families were
nearly 10 per cent higher than they
were when paid in gold. In 1868 the
wages Of labor paid in deprecated pa
per worth about 50 cents on the dollar
were 1OH per cent higher than when
paid in gold, but the prices Of the arti-
cles the laborer had to buy with his
wages were nearly 40 per cent higher
In 1864 the wages Of labor paid in de-
preciated paper dollars worth 40 cents
each had advanced 251a per cent, but
the prices of the necessaries Of life had
advanced 9O1s per cent. In 1865 wages
paid in paper currency worth 6S cents
on the dollar had advanced 48 per cent
above the rates previously paid in gold
or its equivalent, but the prices OF COM
modities had advanced nearly III per
oeut-that is to say, had more than
doubled-and in 1865 wages paid In
currency worth n cents on the dollar
had advanced . fraction more than 81
per cent from the previous rates in

A STATEMENT,
By Mr.. Bryan, Regarding Some of the
FalsehoOds Circulated Concerning
Him During the Campaign-'His
Attitude Toward Churches and
Schools.

Madison. Wis. October 30.-Mr. Bry-
an to-day gave out the following state
ment:
Il have not attempted to answer all
the misrepresentation which nave
been circulated in this campaign, but
in these closing days | feel that it is
necessary TO call your attention to an
atteck which has recently been made
by the enemy. l find that the Repub-
licans are circulating among Catholic
citizens the charge that | am or have
been a member of the American Pro-
tective Association. ! have also learn
ed that | have been accused of being
a member of a society which, | think,
is known as the Junior Order of Amer
lean Mechanics At the same time |
have been accused in other quarters
of being opposed to the public school
system and of having voted against
the teaching of the English language
in the public schools Of New Mexico
While | have attempted to cOnfine my
discussion of public issues to the ques-
tions raised by my platform, and have
considered the money question para
mount TO all others, | take this oppOr-
tunity to explain my position upon the
religious controversy which has been
raised.
II am not. nor have never been n mem
Der of the \. p. A, or Jr. O. L. a. NJ. or
any other society hostile TO any church.
religion or sect nor have I ever applied for
membership in any such organization.
While am a member of the Presbyterian
church. I have always believed that there
should be no religious test applied in the
holding of public offices.
Il am a believer in the public school
system. 1 attended public schools myself
and my children are now attending public
schools. While recognize the rights of
parents TO send their children to private
schools and colleges. if they so desire.
believe that the free public school must
remain a part Of our system Of govern
ment IN order that the means OF educa-
ton shall be within the reach OF every
child in the land. The Democratic mem
bers of Congress voted against a proposed
amendment TO the constitution Of New
Mexico. which compelled the teaching of
the English language in the public schools
not because the Democrats were opposed
to public schOOls,or the teachlng OF the
English language in such schools. but be-
cause they did not deem it necessary or
wise to require a pledge from the people
of New Mexico which had not been re-
quired Of the people Of other Territories
seeking admission.
Il trust that those who support the poll
cies set forth in the Democratic platform
will not allow themselves to be alienated
from my support by any afidavts which
NAV be circulated by political enemies. I
have tried so far as I could 10 coiduct this
campaign in an open and honorable way
and have insisted that those who are with
us should refrain from personal criticism
of my opponent and leave the people to
mass Judgment upon the principles which
we represent"

A DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDING.

Give Crowd of Boys Full Permission to
Break Up "A Democratic Meeting


Give Crowd of Boys Full Permission to
Break Up "A Democratic Meeting.
Special to the Register.
GRAFTON. W. Va, October 3O.-By Civ
ing three hours notice the Democrats
eclipsed the Atkinson meeting held last
night by at least a hundred people The
speakers of this evening were Hon. W. f.
Refs of Ohio, and Hon. w. NJ. Kncaid, of
Cameron.
The gold bugs had made an organized
effort to interrupt and break up the meet
ing. They had organized all the boys in
the town into company and furnished
them with tin horns and fre-crackers,
and in this effort they were backed up by
the Republican Mayor of the town and
headed by the Chief of Police of the city.
The boys assembled in front Of the Opera
House and made such an uproar that no
one in the house could scarcely hear any
thing.
The speaker said the boys were first
asked to desist, and in reply they said
that Chief of Police Sayres and Mayor
Boyd told them to blow and make all the
noise they pleased and they should not
be hurt.
The Mayor and Council, which was in
session at the time were appealed to, and
the Mayor refused to do anything.
A Democratic police officer came along
then and drove the boys away, but they
were sent back by the Mayor and Chief
of Police. and they made more noise than
before.
Every good citizen of the town, regard
less of party, condemned the disgraceful
act. The outrage IS 4 scam on the town
that it will not soon overcome.
Tho speakers were Dotn oloauen, and
convincing. Mr.. Refs used blackboards
and charts and proved everything he
said by figures and facts. and he made
one of the most cinvincing arguments that
was ever made in Grafton. The meeting
here tonight and the disturbance will
make votes for Bryan.

Washington, D. c., October 30.-Sen-
ator Faulkner, the chairman of the Dem

sponse to an inquiry to-day received the
following despatch from Chairman
Jones, of the National Democratic Com
mittee:
Chicago, Ills, October go 1896.
To Hon Charles ]. Faulkner, Washing
ton, D. c.:
My statement to the London Chron-
icle correspondent was that Mckinley
could mot win without Illinois; that Iillir
nois was not essential to Bryan's sue
cess; that had no doubt of Bryan's
election without regard to Illinois,
though l beliye our chances to be best
for Illinois. The Republicans must be
driven TO desperate straits when they
publish falsehoods charging Teller as
conceding Illinois to Mckinley and such
stories as the one of which you advise
me.

Mansfield. Ohio, October 90.-To-
days meeting was a mammoth gather
ing of the masses, notwithstanding
that ttheearly morning brought torrents
of rain. The people of Richland and
adjoining counties began to pour into
the city and kept it up, until its thor
oughfares were one mass of seething,
shouting. enthusiastic silver men,
whose ardor could not be dampened
even by the descending sheets of rain.
However. by $50 the sun appeared
through the clouds and the day was
superb.
Governor MacCorkle and Hon. JOS.
f. Chiffon arrived last night in the
Governors private car and were re-
ceived by the committee at the Balti-
more & Ohio depot. They spent the
night and were entertained during
their stay at Old Homestead of Col
Barabus Barne.
Vice President Stevenson arrived at
10 o'clock this morning from Michigan
and was received at the depot by er-
thusiastic and admiring thousands. At
1870 he was introduced to 10000 peo-
pie who had gathered to show that the
silver craze had not died out, and spoke
for an hour and a half in most mas
terly speech.
He was followed by West Virginia's
handsome Governor, who held the i'm
mense crowd for over an hour in a
speech of matchless eloquence. After
the Governor finished, thousands
gathered to shake his hands and thank
him for his presence.
Tonight train loads of silverites
poured into the city, and parade, the
largest ever known in the history of
the county, was held.
The crowning glory of the day was
the magnificent speech of Hon. Joseph
z. Chiffon. AS a spellbinder he is un-
equalled. His glorious and magnif-
cent oratory thrilled the hearts of more
than ten thousand, who shouted for
more of the same sort. At the close
he received an ovation of which he was
worthy and which came from the
thankful Buckeye hearts.
No wonder West Virginia is in line
Who could resist such silver-tongued
and polished West Virginia eloquence.
God bless you" Send them to us
again, for they have won our hearts
and are entitled to the thanks of all
