Is sad thing to contemplate, that a
farmer with an Investment of perhaps
$1,000 in farm stock and implements
must work from dsybrssk till late
after night, and also his family, to
make a mere hard living. And is not
this unnatural scEimping the cause of
the ever increasing enforced idlenesS
and suffering Of the workingmen--Of
the general and seeming permanent dc.
preston Of businessP
Let no labOring man, no business
man, no manufacturer be so silly and
believe that free coinage of silver
would injure their interests. Their
interests are strictly identified with the
farmers. II by free coinage of silver,
and the consequent increase Of money,
rise of prices occurs, that will
benefit not only the farmer but all
these other classes. If there is no bet
ter way the farmer can live without
money. He can so back to primitive
ways, can to a large extent dispense
with manufactured goods. But how
will that affect business and manufac-
turing interests and the labor element?
There could be no argument more ab-
surd than the argument used now by
advocates Of the gold standard that
the rising prices which they admit that
free coinage of silver would bring
would be Injurious to the WOrkingmen.
We must have rising prices Of farm
products before the farmer is able to
buy more. AS soon as the farmer has
means to buy more there will be more
demand for labor to produce the things
the farmer needs. Every Workingmsn
fully employed at fair wages mskes'an
increased demand for goods by his In
creased consumption. The working
man, like the farmer, consumes nearly
all his earnings, and thereby increases
business and the demand for labor.
The prosperity of the capitalist does
not increase the prosperity of the in.
dustrial classes, but decreases 1t, be-
cause they generally consume only q
small portion of their income, aud use
the rest for new investments. They
always have enough to buy what they
want. When things are very cheap,
they have to spend less and have more
left for Investment, which means still
greater burdens to the producers. If
we could tax them according to their
wealth, that would be great help to
equsllze things; but we cannot accom-
pllsh that In this campaign. So let US
unite and do that which we can to elect
q President and Congress that will give
us free coinage Of silver, Perhaps,
after we get the bslky team Of politics
started once In making laws In the in
terest Of the masses, instead Of only
for the classes, 1t will move right along
and DO more than we expected.

United States, 4,515; deposits, $780,.

per cent. That was sound and safe II
nobody got scared; but If they do as In
1893, IL does not work well.
Now, one more point from good gold
standard authority. The greatest
danger and injury of the present gold
standard system consists In the sudden
contraction of credits, which may be
brought about by different causes, as
au object lesson for political purposes
like the panic of '93, or from causes
beyond the control of anyone. The
effect ia always the ssme-great shrink
age Of values, and consequent bank
ruptcies, stsgnstion of business and
unemployment of labor. The Lon
don StGtiSt, q leading organ of British
finances, edited by Mr.. T. Lloyd, says:
''It will be reCOlleeted that, q little
while before the Bank Of England
came to the assistance of the Messrs.
Barring Bros, the acceptance Qosns) of
that great house were about e35 ,000,-
600. It will further be recolleCted that
the Messrs. MuriettS had large num-
Der Of acceptsnces out and that they
have utterly disappeared. And 1t will
certainly not be forgotten how every
house In London was compelled by the
crisis Of 1880 to contract very rapidly,
and very materially, the credits 1t has
been accustomed to give in better
times. Probably | am very much
under the mark II l say the total de-
crease In sCeeptances in consequence
Of the Barring crisis was not less than
e75. 100000. And 1 have shown In the
StGtiSt Of June % that che investments
Of this country abroad for some years
before the Barring collapse must have
been at the least 70 to 80 million
pounds sterling annually. Thus we
we have q contraction of credit, in con-
sequence of the Barring collapse, of at
least ESQ, 600, 900, and the result has
been fall tn the price Of commodities
Of about 13 per cent" These facts and
figures prove conclusiYely that the gold
standard simply means an enormous
expansion or imitation of bank credits.
1t proves, also, that under It bankers
actually obtain interest to q large ex.
tent on what they owe to others; that
as class they can never pay their OBJ
legations, If confidence is disturbed;
that when credit is disturbed the losses
fall heaviest on the innocent who are
least able to bear It.
But some good brother PopuliBt,
who has long ago passed the A B @
Of finance, objects, and says that the
free coinage Of silver will not remedy
these evils; that we must have more
money than gold and silver; that we
need government banks; that the ter
rible burden of interest must be
lifted from the shoulders of the
producers; that interest should be
much lower and should 60 to the gov.

TO notice public sentiment drifting that

sincere in their effort, q proper method
for q union Of all the silver forces will
be found.
If a thief is in danger of being
caught, be will mingle with the crowd
and shout, Stop theft The advocates
of the gold standard seem to be in that
condition now. They take a special
delight 10 posing ss the supporters and
defenders Of honest sound money.
They display their superior honesty on
every occasion. The mere mention of
paying debts with q 5O-Cent silver
dollar almost throws them into spRsn1s,
1t would be 80 dishonest.
An examination of the so-called
honest gold standard money system at
this time when 30 much is claimed for
it will not be out Of place. Let no one
harbOr such simple, child
like faith, that the gold stand
ard means circulation Of gold
as q medium Of exchange. Oh! no.
The real advocates Of the gold stand
ard-the capitalists and bankers of the
world-are not so ignorant as to sup
pose that less than 81 Of gold per capita
viii do the business Of the world. In
plain English, the gold standard means
the privilege Of the bankers to use
credit as money, to receive interest on
what they owe. 1t means that this
same class shall, In greater measure
than In the past, have the power to OK.
paDd and contract money (credlt) and
control prices. The argument Of the
gold-bug is that there ls enough money
now; that all we need Is confidence.
Translated into plain English 1t means:
II you fellows who produce sll the
real wealth BY your labor will only per.
NIT US to manage financial affairs, bor-
row our fictitious money, and pay us
good interest on what we owe, all will
be we'll with us), and that is all we
care about.
There Is mo more absurd statement
than that the present so.Cslled gold
standard 10 an honest and safe money
system. A greater falsehood cannot
be uttered. A more Injurious system
to the masses could not be invented.
1t always has resulted In periodic pan.
