WM. Mckinney at Canton,
Ohio. August oath, said: I'VE are
learning another thing, my tel-
low citizens; indeed we know it
already-that no matter what
kind of money we have, we can
not get it unless we have work
(cries of "You are right Major,")
whether it is poor money or
whether it is good money; wheth-
er it is gold or whether it is sill
yer; we cannot get one dollar of
it unless we have employment for
our hands and heads. Enthusi-
astic cheering and waving of
hands.) And we know another
thing-that when we have work
we would rather have our pay in
good, honest dollars, with the
most purchasing power-dollars
that will not depreciate in our
hands over night, but which will
be good every day, every year
and everywhere. (Renewed
cheering and cries of "Hurrah for
McKinley.) We cannot help la
Dor by reducing the value of mon
ey in which labor is paid. The
way to help labor is to provide it
with steady work and good wages
and then have those good wages
always paid in good money, mon
ey as sound as the government
and as unsullied as this flag
| (pointing to the American flag.
Tremendous cheers and ap-
plause.)

Bryan,s Latest Speech.

Candidate Bryan. in his speech at
Tivoli on Saturday, again failed to
answer the one question of vital i'm.
portance to the workingmen of the
country involved in the present po.
litical campaign. He insisted, as he
has before insisted, that the gold
standard has depressed the prices of
agricultural products. and that the
adoption Of free and unlimited silver
coinage at the ratio of 18 to l will
raise them; but how people now re.
ceiving wages and salaries in gold
will be benefited by receiving wages
and salaries IN silver, that will buy
only half as much of the necessaries
of life as gold buys, he leaves to the
imagination. He says, indeed, that
the silver dollars will be easier to
get than the gold dollars are, but
that is only his say so, and amounts
to nothing. He is also careful not to
promise that workingmen will get
more dollars in silver than they now
get in gold dollars.
Mr.. Bryan, in the same speech, de.
claimed vigorously against the enor.
nifty of selling government bonds to
maintain the gold standard, but at
the same time he refrained from ex-
planning that more than half the
bonds thus sold within the last three
years have been sold to make up
deficiency in revenue, and thus to
pay the Governments current ex.
penses, including pensions. He also
declaimed against the profits made
by the syndicates who purchased
these bonds, as if that had any bear.
ing on the subject. His principal
objection to the gold standard. how.
ever, was that it has raised the val.
ue of Investments bringing in a fixed
return of money. He did not see
that in 30 doing he assailed not mere.
ly the holders of bonds and other
money obligations, but every man
and woman in the country who has
labor or services to sell.

The Dickinson press., 1896-08-29

THIS is an educational cam
paign and the more the people
read-on both sides-and think,
the more are they convinced that
the free silver agitation is craze
and a delusion, movement
which has been fostered for the
past few years by silver mine
owners. The sober thought and
better judgment of the voters will
save the country from a fanatical
blunder precipitated by those
who see a chance to make for.
tunes out Of a temporary advance
of silver mine stock. It is no use
to say mean things about those
who advocate free silver-many
are sincere-the projectors are
wholly mercenary-but rather
ask everybody to study the ques-
tion. Careful study of the issue
is what is needed everywhere.

The Real Gold-bug Conspirators.

The real gold bug conspirators are
the millionaire free silver men, who
are endeayoring to change the mon.
ey standard of the country in the
selfish hope of private gain, and who
are appealing to class prejudice in
the effort to advance their bad cause.
The New York Tribune calls at
tention to the fact that the Union
Bank at Rochester has adopted a new
form of note which requires borrow.
ers to repay in gold coin. The inter.
esting part of this is that the presi.
dent of the Union Bank is also the
president and chief stockholder of
the company which publishes the
Rochester Herald, Bryan organ.
1t is a perfectly proper thing for
any man who lends money as good as
gold to take precautions which will
insure his repayment in money of
equal value. But it is highly incon.
sistent with the pretensions made by
shouters for Bryan that they should
be conspicuous among the people
taking this business.like 'precaution
at the present time. Yet not only
the proprietors of the Rochester Her. /.
aid are among the silverites who are
doing this prudent thing. The Alt.
geld gold leases, the Pennoyer gold
mortgages, the Stewart gold notes
are also in evidence to prove that the
foremost advocates of free silver
coinage are we'll aware that the
adoption of their formula will debase
the currency, and are not above
hedging to protect themselves from
the effect of the shrinkage in the
value of the dollar which they are
doing their best to bring about.
But the workingmen and other
wage.earners whom these shrewd
spectators are advising to vote for
Bryan and free silver-how are they
to be guarded against disaster!
What are Stewart and Pennoyer and
Altgeld and the Rochester Union
Bank, ct al, doing to protect the
wage.earners from loss? Nothing
whatever! That is not part of the
game. The game is to artificially
debase the money of the United
States and get all that can be got in
the scramble which will follow to
readjust the prices of commod.
tiles to the altered value of the dol.
lar. The last commodity to advance
will be labor. So that the bulk of
the gain which the free silver spec.
ulators will secure will be snatched
from those least able to stand a loss,
the wage.e arners of the United
States.
The free silver shouters are en-
gagged in the most dastardly conspir
acy ever attempted to be perpetrat'
ed against the interests of the work.

As the advance agent of bank
ruptcy, Mr.. Bryan is a glittering
success. During the first eight
days Of August, 1896, the basi-

amounted to S2,ooo,ooo in round

days of August, this year, they
foot up nearly S7,ooo,ooo. This

MONTHS.
She is sleeping, sweetly sleeping
Weary days of pain are DER;
But sho's found from every sorrow
Rest upon tho heavenly shore.
Kind and patient was our loved one,
Gontlc as the angels breath;
Soft and tender were the accents
Of that voice now hushed in death.
Wo miss her when we go from home,
Wc miss her when We kneel In prayer,
Wemiss her when wo go to work.
Wocan but miss her everywhere.
Yes, Rosie, loved, we weep for thee
And many are the tears We shed:
To think the silent grave must be
Forevermore thy lonely bed.
But is there not within our hearts,
Though hidden from human eyes,
a hope that says we'll meet again
In a homo beyond tho skies.
For brightly beams the Christians faitl
Der the stormy sea of life;
1t is a sure and faithful guide
Amid a world of strife.
Faith teaches that the blessed know
True joys which earth has never;
Affections touch can mar them not;
Their bliss will last forever.
Then, loved one, We will cease to mour
But rejoice that thou art glad;
Our aching hearts could ne'er retain the
| Though to lose thee makes US sad.
| And now the days to us given
| Are filled with grief and pain;
Yet there's a hope,-the hope of HEAVIER
Where We all hope to meet again.
| No moro we'll clasp her loving hand
Or meet her tender gaze;
| Till we, too, reach the shining strand
| And sing with her Gods praise.
| Sad and lonely now she slumbers,
Peaceful in the grave SO low;
She no more will join our number,
| Nor no more our sorrows know.
Yet again we hope to meet her,
| When our days of life are fled;
And in heaven with Joy to greet her
Where no farewell tears are shed.
