THE wAGE-EARNER, HIS VOTE
ANDITS USE.

How shall vote so as best to conserve
my interests and further the general
veal? is a question that is uppermost in
many minds. To the wage-earner, who
is suffering SO grievously from enforced
idleness, this question is CT supreme
moment. His is the duty to seek out
the cause of the general curtailment of
production, the resulting diminished
chances of employment, cuts in wages
and general Distress, for with him rests
the removal of that cause which has
deadened enterprise and put blight
upon industry.
The responsibility of suffering con
tinuance of that fiscal policy under
which our producing classes are being
ground down to poverty, rests with the
wage-earning classes. 1t rests with them
to order change in policy that will
check the fall in prices and lift the griev-
Gus burden of an appreciating dollar
from the backs of our producing classes,
or to decree a continuance of the present
policy that must needs lead to con.
tinued fall in prices. Seven-tenths of
the votes that may be cast in the COM
ing Presidential election are theirs. So
it is in their power to direct the policy
of our government for good or i'll, for
their own advancement and happiness,
or to their woe.
So the wage-earner is face to face with
the question OF how to use his ballot as to
best promote his prosperity. He knows
that the continuous struggle for work is
intolerable, that the constant fear of dis.
missal, with the spectre OF hunger and
suffering in its wake is unbearable. He
knows that the chances Of employment
are becoming fewer, not more extended,
he knows that competition among wage
earners for work has taken the place Of
competition among employers for work
men, and he feels the press of this COM
petition in enforced idleness and lower
rates of wages. In brief, the recompense
Of labor is unsatisfactory, and the
chances Of those thrown out of work OF
securing employment are slim, yet the
ret tompense Of labor is growing smaller
and the chances Of employment fewer.
To wage -earners, times are anything
but satisfactory. OF this there is no

a new man in health and strength.
81 therefore feel it my duty and
great pleasure to recommend this ex-
cellent remedy, DIR. Greene's Nervura,
which certainly has done so much for
me-"
Rev. f. II. Buffum, of Winchester, N.
H., who is Grand Army Chaplain for
New Hampshire, says:
"The remedial effect of DIR. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy on the
weaknesses and nervous prostration of
my wife, was so positive and speedy
that we can heartily testify to it's un-
doubted merits"
Presiding Elder Rev. J. w. Walker,
of Fort Dodge, Iowa; Rev. G. D. r.
Meacham, pastor Baptist Church, Town
send, Vt; Rev. G. L. Wells, Of Hard
wick, Vt; Rev. Henry Langford, of
Weston, w. Va, and many other we'll
known ministers of the Gospel in all
parts of the country, all of whom have
been cured by this great remedy, en-
Enthusiastically urge the people to use DR..
Greene's Nervura by all means, if they
wish to be sure of cure, for health
and strength always follow its use.
Remember that DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy is no common
patent medicine, but the prescription
of one of our best-known physicians,
the discovery of DIR. Greene, of 35
West 14th St., New York City, the most
successful specialist in curing nervous
and chronic diseases, hence the medi-
cine is.of necessity perfectly adapted to
cure. Dr. Greene also can be consulted
free, personally or by letter, in regard

question. The one question Of import
that confronts them is what course to
pursue so as to bring times, what use to
make of their ballots so as to bring pros
perity.
And this brings up the question:
When does the wage-earner enjoy great.
est prosperity And to this we answer,
when wages are highest, for the very
fact that wages are rising is evidence of
the fact that there is growing demand
for the services of wage-earners, that
there is competition among employers
foI workmen, not among wage-earners
for work, and that consequently wage
earners are in a position to secure a
just recompense for their labor So we
find that when wages are rising the
wage.earner prospers, that his pros
perity, progress and enlightenment are
greatest where wages are highest. And
this brings us to the question: When
are wages highest? And to this we
answer, when the production of wealth
is greatest, and when the share of the
wealth is greatest, and when the share
of the wealth produced, and that re-
mains to be divided between employer
and wage-earner after paying fixed
charges, is largest
So we come to seek out the conditions
under which the production of wealth is
greatest, and under which the share
to be divided between employer and
wage.earner will enjoy greatest pros
perity. The great incentive to labor is
the full enjoyment of the fruits of toll,
and so it is that we find production
most active when the share of the wealth
produced and available for division be-
tween wage-earner as wages and employ
er as profits is largest. And this time is
obviously when prices are rising and
when the burden of debts and taxes and
rents is, as consequence, being tighten.
ed.
Therefore it is that the interest of the
wage-earner lies in rising prices, for just
as prices rise, the share of wealth pro-
duced over and above that absorbed to
meet fixed charges will be greater, con-
sequently the share of the wage-earner
in the wealth produced larger and his

81 don't want to do anyone an injus-
tice but must say that we have seen so
many inaccurate tables of wages and of
prices made for purposes of comparison
that we have come to believe that the
intention has been to secure camgaign
literature than fair report on the con.
ditions as they are
"The one report that has been most
widely circulated, so far as the price and
wage table were concerned, has been ana
lyzed and criticised and roasted by the
best informed people here till there is
very little left of it, is the one relating to
wages on railroads.
81 know something about railway
wages and living myself. On the Mex
ican side freight engineers and conduc.
tors are making from 5000 to 1925 in
Mexican silver. That money buys as
much for them of everything except
American money, as it did when silver
was at par. They live as well as they
did then, and as well as though on this
side, in the same work. 1t is only in
case they might want to move to the
United States and change their savings
into American money that they would
know that anything had happened tc
the money in which they have beer
paid.
They are paid by the mileage the!

and have no complaint to make.

their clothing, shoes, and so on, in the

eyes, they do buy imported shoes fol
their best, and some other things, too
from imported stocks. But instead o
being from the United States, most o
these things are from France, England

There is nothing in the world so good
as DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. Testimonials by thou
sands from all classes of people have
been published, showing its marvellous
effects in making the sick well, the
weak strong, and now our clergymen
have become interested and for the
peoples good urge them to use this
wonderful cure, DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, in order to
get well, for they are convinced that it
is the most valuable medicine in the
world to-day.
Rev. Il. j. Miller, of Albion, N. Y,
the eminent divine, who represents the
Boston fremont Temple Society as
missionary to India, was broken down
with overworlS, liver trouble and ma
laria, and is now on vacation, in search
of health, has found both health and
strength in the use of DR.. Greene's
Nervura. He says:
81 returned to America broken in
health, with a bad catarrh, neuralgia
and stomach and liver trouble. The
whole top of my head felt numb, so
that at times 1 was robbed of my think
ing powers, and could not do any work
with ease. Having consulted num-
Der of doctors and taken their medi-
cines, received no relief whatever.
81 was induced to try DR.. Greene's
Nervura, which worked like a charm
and produced the longed-for results.
My head and whole system is now clean
from catarrh, neuralgia and fever.

with satisfaction. In fact, feel like

A PROUD RECORD.

The issue before the people and to be
decided by them for good or ill, is an
increase of the money volume of the
country. This the silver forces now
opposed by the single standard gold Re-
publicans and Democrats, believe can be
decided in measure by granting to
silver the same mintage facilities as is
now accorded to gold In electing con.
gress to carry out the wishes OF the
advocates of the free coinage of silver it
is imperative that the men who are
elected to represent the people, should
be well grounded in the principles
governing reform in our affairs The
silver forces of the 18th congressional
district have nominated such man in
General Sherwood. His record in con
gress in 1874 is an open book
In speech in congress on March 81,
1874, General Sherwood gave evidence
at that time that he was in touch with
the needs of the people, who were
clamoring for an increase of our money
supply. In that speech he submitted
some communications which he had re-
ceived relative to the subject then under
consideration. Notably among them
was one received from Chauncey ii,
Andrews of Youngstown, the man who
did more to develop the iron and coal
industries Of Chic, and especially that Of
the Mahoning valley than any resident

MEXICO AND SILVER.

There is so much being said about
Mexico, Mexican silver dollars, wages,
price of commodities, etc., etc., and so
many misleading and unreliable figures
are presented in gold standard campaign
documents that genuine interview on
the subject cannot fail to interest q
reader who wants to know the truth.
Everywhere that finance is discussed,
and that means everywhere in the United
States, IL e Mexican question is sure to be
called up.
The following from a "Chicago Rec
ord' interview with a gentleman well
posted on the situation, has the merit of
being true and unprejudiced.
This gentleman is train conductor
running between Albuquerque and Ell
Paso, is man of good judgment and
general information, and his opportuni
ties for observation have been all that
could be desired.
He was thoughtful and cautious in con
versation, and took pains to be accurate;
"Mexico is only fourteen years old SO
far as modern civilizationis concerned" )"
said he, "and what can you expect of a
country under such circumstances?
Fourteen years ago, when the rail,
ways built south from the border, the
modern civilization began, and the way
to form fair judgment of the country is
to study the advance made in that time
The city of Mexico itself is so changed
since then that one would scarcely re-
cognize some parts of it. I'll not try to
tell you what you'll see in the republic
but Pm sure that you'll see more tC
favor the movement for American
bimetallism than you will to oppose it
And what they have done, remember
they have done with 80 cent dollars
too" he added with faint sarcasm.

Hume, the historian said, years ago;
"we find that In every country into
which money begins TO flow in greater
abundance than formerly everything takes
on a new face. Labor and industry gain
life, the merchant becomes more enter
prising, the manufacturer more dillgent
and skillful and even the farmer follows
his plow with greater alacrity and atten-
tion."
