Inevitable Consequences.


The experiences Of all lands and of
all ages utterly exclude the possibility
that any one should profit by depreci-
ated currency except an exceedingly
small minority Of money dealers and
successful speculators in public dis
tress. In the spirit Of gambling that is
thus engendered in an epoch Of depreci-
ated currency very few of these persons
are permitted to enjoy their innings in
the long run. When the prices of prod
ucts nominally rise, the balance is re-
dressed by rise also in the cost of pro-
duction and in the wants of the pro-
ducers. Every rise in prices under an
inflated currency, as well as under a
sound system Of money, is followed by
increased production and by depression
Of prices through increased competi-
tion. But violent disturbance of bust
ness through sudden change of the
monetary standard to silver dollar
containing only 5S cents Of bullion
could not be made without causing
widespread distress. The only adequate
explanation of the course of the advo-
Gates Of free silver coinage is that they
are but dimly conscious of the conse-
quences that would follow the adoption
of their policy. Philadelphia Record.

Mexico. q. S.-Gold
Value in silver eQu4

From which it appears that the Mexi-
can gets less for his labor and pays more
for all he consumes. The days labor of
car conductor there will buy 121s pounds
Of -four and pounds of beef. Here the
days labor of a car conductor will buy al
most 2S pounds Of -four and 121s pounds of
meat.
Nevertheless. Warner declares that labor
prospers in Mexico, and he proposes that
the American workingman cast his vote
for candidate who will give him Mexican
prosperity.
Undoubtedly Mexico is more prosperous
that she was 20 years ago. She has pro-
gressed in spite of her having silver
standard. She has had more stable form
of government. American capital has built
railroads. which have opened up the coun-
try and given value to products which were
valueless previously for lack of transporta-
ton facilities.
But with all the progress that has been
made, that which counts for prosperity in
Mexico would count for wretchedness in
the United States. American workingmen
who feel inclined to vote for Bryan should
study the above tables of wages and prices
before they cast their ballots to Mexicanize
the labor Of this country.

silverite Campaign Cr1es.

The platform adopted by the silverite
wing which controlled the Democratic
national convention contains abundant
material for stirring campaign notices.
ssFree Silver Initiation, Debt Repudi-
ation,' Property Coniscation" and
Commercial Stagnation" are brief and
truthful statements of the aims of the
cheap money Democrats and the certain
results which would follow their success
in November. Shouting these cheerful
strains, the si1verites can march to the
certain defeat which awaits all move
ments based on sectionalism, greed, ap-
peals to prejudice and hatred of property

The Grand Army of creditors.

The Grand Army of Creditors.
The gentlemen who think that they
have made an attractive bid for votes
by proposing 80 cent dollar for debtors
to pay their debts with are reckoning
without their host. Every state of the
Union is full of creditors, and they will
never consent to defraud and cheat
themselves.
Among these creditors are:
All persons who work for wages, sal
ary or by the piece.
All members Of building and loan
associations.
ALI depositors in savings, national
state or private banks.
ALI holders Of life, fire and accident
insurance policies.
ALI members Of benevolent and fra
ternal insurance orders.
All holders Of industrial insurance.
All widows, orphans or wards de-
pendent wholly or partially upon the
income from Investments.
All educational and charitable insti-
tutions dependent wholly or in part up
ON the income Of their endowments.
In fact, the so cent silver dollar
would be Of advantage to. few persons
in the long run save the spectators,
who would gamble on the inevitable
fluctuations in its purchasing power and.
in the price Of commodities. s.-Exchange

It will be seen that in q few instances
the Mexican working man gets as many
Mexican dollars at the American working
man gets 1O0-cent United States dollars.
Generally the wage-worker who is paid in
Mexican dollars gets fewer of them than
the American gets Of full value dollars.
According. to Warner this is prosperity.
The second table deals with prices. The
first column shows what the Mexican pays
for the necessaries of life in Mexican dol
lars. The second column shows what he
would be asked were he to pay in gold
value American money. The third column
shows the prices paid in this country:

If we coin a silver dollar of fun legal
tender below the current value of the gold
dollar, we are simply opening our doors
and inviting England to take our gold.
With our gold flowing out from us we
shall be forced to the single silver stand

commercial countries of the world would
What gain should we make, therefore.

Brooklyn Eagle.

William Mckinley made brief speech
Wednesday to the surviving members of
the regiment in which he served during
the war, and in the course of it he said
he believed 'it was a great deal better to
open the mills of the United States to the
labor of America than to open the mints
of the United States to the silver of the
world" William J. Bryan made long
speech at the Madison-Square garden, but
in the whole course of 1t he did not say a
thing which will stick In the minds of the
voters like this epigram which his rival
for the presidency coined in Canton.

The Present Standard Best For All

The Present Standard Best For All.
The present currency standard should
be maintained because it guarantees an
honest dollar to rich and poor alike.
The farmer is sure Of full value for his
products The laborer knows that his
services are paid for with honest money.
If the currency maintained on the pres
ent gold standard is the money Of the.
wealthy, >, as the free silver advocates
assert to awaken the prejudices Of the
common people, by the same token It Is
acceptable to the poor. The wisdom Of
the present basis is seen in the fact
that individuals prefer gold standard
dollar every time, and what is best for
individuals is best for the nation. -Ds-
troit Free Press.

some Things Nobody Can Do.
It Is idle to ''hurl defiance and boast
of what this great nation can do. It
never has been able to maintain bimetal-
lism under free coinage of both gold
and silver, even when the conditions
were far more favorable than now.
This nation is unquestionably broad
enough to legisiate for its own people
without waiting for the aid or consent
Of any other nation on earth, but thia
nation tried for over 80 years to. secure
bimetallism under legal double stand
ard and completely failed. And as this
nation, "broad" as it Is, is not able to
work miracles, it can no more perform
such feat now than 1t could in the past.

What kind Of money is the besti
That which has the least value
What does ''cheap money! meanl
Money that viii buy very little wealth.
Why are some people poorf Because
the money they get in exchange for
their products or their labor will buy q
large amount Of goods
How can the poor all be made rich7
By stamping 80 cents worth Of silver
Zone dollar" and thus decreasing the
purchasing power Of money.
What is capitalist? Awicked sinner
who has worked hard and saved up ss
little property.
What is patriota A man who covets
his neighbor's property and wants to-
get hold of it by law.
What does ssrepudiation" mean? It is
a simple scheme for readjusting the in
equalities between the men who worked
and the men who have not.
What is the golden rule Of the silver
ties? Do others as they would not do
You.
What are we to understand by s'hon-
esty" and 'sgood faith between men?"
That creditors are to be cheated out Of
one-haf of their property whenever the
debtors control congress.
Why not benefit debtors still more by
repudiating all the claims of creditorrs
That will come later. The public must
be educated into silverism by degrees.
What is creditor? A fiend in human
shape who loaned 100 cent dollars and
doesn't want to be paid in dollars worth

kind, unselfish citizen, who doesn't
want higher prices Of silver SO that he
will get rich, but simply because he

his labor? Not much. Business and
sentiment are two different things. Be-
sides he doesn't have to.
What is sound currency? Dollars

cents worth Of fat or paper dollars all

What is the chief duty of good citi-

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.

The declaration of the platform touch
Ing foreign immigration Is one Of pecu-
har Importance at this time, when our
own laborfng people are In such great
distress. I am in hearty sympathy
with the present legislation restraining
foreign immigration and favor such ex-
tension Of the laws as will secure the
United States from invasion by the de-
barred and criminal classes of the Old
World While we adhere to the public
policy under which our country has
raised great bodies Of honest, tndustrf-
GUS citizens who have added to the
wealth, progress and power Of the coun-
try. and while we welcome to our shores
the well disposed and Industrious Inn
migrant who contributes by his energy
and intelligence to the cause of free
government we want no immigrants
who do not seek our shores to become
citizens. We should permit none to par
ticipate in the advantages Of our civil
ization who do not sympathize with O.
acts and form OF government. "
should receive none who come to NAL
war upon our institutions and profit by
public disQuist and turmoil. Against all
such our gates must be tightly closed.
OUR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
The soldiers and sailors of the United
States should neither be neglected nor
forgotten. The Government which they
served so well must not make their lives
er haa bX IN tang Sfa t6sn 81 g
tress, nor regard with dtsdain or con-
tempt the earnest Interest one comrade
naturally manifests in the> welfare OF
another. Doubtless there have been
pension abuses and frauds In the num-
erous claims allowed by the Govern
ment, but the policy governing the ad-
ministration Of the Pension Bureau
must always be fair and liberal. No de-
serving applicant should ever suffer be-
cause Of a wrong perpetrated by or for
another. Our soldiers and sailors gave
the Government the best they had. They
freely offered health, strength. limb and
life to save the country In the time Of
it's greatest peril. And the Government
must honor them in their need as In
their service with the respect and graft
tude due to brave, noble and self-sacrt-
ficing men, who are justly entitled to
generous aid in their increasing neces-
stiles.
