Hopkins administration drove me out
of all the places, and refused to let me
do anything. in the city. When the pres
ent administration came into power l
tried to get permission to open place,
but was emphatically refused. My
money was gone, had family to sup
port, and finally I decided that L could
make an honest living, do some good
in the world and be revenged on the
gamblers and politicians who tried to
injure me, by exposing gambling. l
went to the civic federation and obtain
ed it's endorsement. 1 explained my idea
to Chief Badenoch. He approved of it.
My application for a license to public
ly expose gambling was granted. The
gamblers and their political allies made
every effort to prevent me from getting
it, but Chief Badenoch stuck to his word
and license was granted me to give an
amusement lecture on vice and an exhi-
bition of games. / purpose to go to
every city in the country and expose
gamblers tricks, showing how the in
nocent are robbed. Some of you think
I will return to gambling myself. Do
you know that what 1 am doing now
has made every gambler my enemy?"
Then Mr.. Royal proceeded to illustrate
all the tricks of the gamblers used in the
"shell game" three-card monte"

and other games. H explained the mys
teries of loaded dice, "hold outs"

ling completely exposed" Those who
went through the formality of handing
dime to the ticket seller found them,
selves in a large room, fitted up like q
big gambling house. Everything neces-
sary for gambling was there-poker
tables, roulette wheels, faro tables and
crap tables.
In charge of the place was mild
hammered, pleasant-faced man of about
80 years, who. for the past twenty years
has been a professional gambler and
has practiced all the wiles of conf
dence man." Perhaps no gambler is ber-
ter known throughout the United States
than Harry Royal.
Il do not deny or boast of my past
lfe," said Mr.. Royal, NOR do claim
undue credit for my determination to
expose gambling. If | had been allowed
to run gambling house in this city it is
not at all likely that would be exposing
gambling and doing my best to stop it
by showing men that they are sure to
lose instead of win when dealing with
gamblers. My belief is that when men
know how surely and easily they can
be cheated right under their eyes by
shrewd gamblers they will quit fire.
quenting such places. i think in this
way I can do more to stop gambling
than can be done by the police depart
ment or any organization seeking to
suppress gambling. For the past twen-
ty years 1 have been a gambler, and
have owned gambling houses in many
places.
my troubles with the politicians be-
gan when Mayor Hopkins campaign
for reelection commenced. I put up
$1,000 each way, that is, $1,000 for Hop
kins' campaign fund and $1,000 for
Swift's. The Hopkins people somehow
found out I had given money to the
other side. and they came down on me.

they are paid, and that when the cur
rency is deprecated the rates of wages
90 not increase in proportion to the in
crease in the prices of the commodities
the laborer is compelled to purchase"
The complaint of the free silver ad-
NocateS is that prices have been con-
stantly falling. But to the working
man, whose wages are comparatively
steady, falling prices are beneficial
They enable him to secure more with his
income. On the contrary, it is very hard
to force up wages to correspond with u
general rise in the price of commodities
which he uses. Nearly every trade
unionist knows by experience that it is
much more difficult to secure a raise in
wages than it is to prevent reduction
Wages are governed largely by consid-
erations as to what is customary or
usual If it is usual for a bricklayer
for instance. to get $4 a day it would be
a very long time before his wages would
be doubled to correspond with an in
crease of 100 per cent in prices Chi

fer by raising the prices of farm prod
ucts. But the very argument that is
used to commend free silver to the
farmer in debt is the one that can be
used against it with men who work for
wages. The laboring class is not a
debtor class; it stands in the position
of creditor class. Not one working
man in ten is in debt to the amount of
the wages he will receive for the next
six months or a year. Ife is more inter-
ested. therefore, in seeing that the
money he receives in wages is of full
value than he is in securing cheaper
medium with which to pay his debts
Wages are always the last to rise. 1t
is a matter of history that prices rise
first and wages later, if at all. If the
dollar were to depreciate so per cent in
value sugar, meat, clothes, fuel and rent
would soon double in price 1t would
be harder matter for the worl1ingman
securing 81 day to raise his wages to
81. This point was well made by Secre-
tary Carlisle in his remarkably clear ex-
position of the money question at the
Auditorium Wednesday evening" He
said:
Money received for wages. like
money received on every other account,
is valuable only to the extent that ii can
be exchanged for other commodities,
and it is scarcely necessary to suggest
that dollar worth so cents will mot
purchase as much in the markets as a
dollar worth 100 cents. To call dime a
dollar would add nothing whatever to
it's intrinsic value or to it's purchasing
power. If these propositions are cor
rect it 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 univer-
sal rule that the rates of wages do not
increase in proportion to the deprecia-
tion in the value Of the money in which

Yes, we set great number. Any
one is welcome. but of course only those
who are employed in the factories are
entitled to the benefits of the co-opera-
tive plan. The vacancies in the factor
les are filed by the boys who graduate
from the schools, SO that there are few
opportunities for strangers to get posi-
tons. When Nellie Bly's article about

Workingmen and Free Silver

Outside of the mining states the free
silver sentiment is strongest in the
farming states, where mortgages are
plentiful and interest rates high. Mine
owners favor free silver, of course, be-
cause they have silver to sell and want
the government to make market for 1t.
Farmers with mortgages to pay off
favor free silver because it is supposed
that this would make debt paying cas-
