Rich and the Poor.

Here now comes up this thoroughly
un-American question of the rich against
the poor. Some criticism is already lev
cled Mt this movement because those en-
gagged in it are representatives of proper
ty in their respective localities. 1t is
characterized as the rich mans move
mcnt. Property is banding together to
carry its ends. and those ends are inimi-
cal to the wage-earner and the farmer.
This simply is criminal nonsense. There
is not the slightest warrant in reason for
any such statement. The paramount is
sue of the campaign is n business ISSUE
1t relates to the very life blood of busi-
ncss-whetler that blood shall be puri-
fled and kept pure. or vitiated and inn
poverished. Surely that proposition
another point. What authority is there
for the assumption that in moving in his
own interests the business man is mov-
ing against the interests of other mon?
Under a free government all interests
are allied. The business man cannot
prosper if the wage-earner and the farm
or do not. 1t is impossible. If the crops
fail and the mines and factories are idle,
SO that the farmer and the wage-earner
have no money, how can the merchant,
or the banker. or the manufactures
thrive? Where is business to come
from? On the other hand. if times arc
good and confidence prevails. NIL feel the
benefits alike. Not all in equal degree,
of course: That could not be. That
never has been. That never will be. But
to the extent of their stake in the game,
when the winnings are large. the farmer

"If silver is such an abomlnable curse.
why are Japan and Mexico booming with
prosperity ?"-J. K. Amber. Mich.
No one says that silver rs nm
"abominablc curse" The project of Co. 20
ing to the silver standard is one which
would bring ON an era of panic and
financial disaster: but to say this
project is bad is not to say silver is n
'curse." Try to apply reason to the
subject, not prejudice and emotion. The
question is plain one of business and
only common sense is needed to settle IL
rightly.
ing with prosperity How do Won
know this? Prosperity 10 an extremely
relative term. In both countries the
wages of the working class are 90 low
that an American workingman would
deem them starvation wages. He could
not live. Mexico is far more prosperous
than she has been for many years, but
It is because, under President Diax,
there has been peace. The country has
not been the scene Of chronic revolution,
as 1t was up to few years ago. Wages
are very low, and manufacturing 10

use of machinery in manufacturer, and
is yet far behind US in everything

"How about Mexican and India sill
ver!" asked the Populist.
"Al. that would come to us like a
deluge! We have no tariff against sill
vcr. 1t would pour in upon us; 1000
5000 people would unload on 10000
600. There has hecn mined during the
last 400 years $1O.OO0,0OO.OOO worth of
silver. The world mined $2O9.1G5. 900
worth of 5O-ccnt. silver last year. This
would come rushing in upon us. We
would he the dumping ground of the

we stopped our guarantee all our coined
silver would fall hack from 1G to l to
32 to /. We would have the 50-ccnt

"Well. who would he benefited by free
coinage?" asked the Populist.
We'll, no one hut the mine owners.
There are 5000 of them. Their work.
men are paid in silver, paper or gold
dollars worth 100 cents in gold. The
mine owner is working for silver
worth 53 cents. The farmer is getting
money as good as gold for his, wheat
could get no more for his produce nor
no better money than he is getting.
And. by. and by, if we went on coming
silver ad libitum. silver would go down
like the old grccnbacks in 1868. That
went down to 30 cents on dollar,
while gold stood still. You could buy
wheat then for $3.50 in grccnbacks or
in 1863 for 500 an acre in greenbacks or
$40 in gold. Do you want that to occur
again!"
The Populist was silent.

His whole argument is for cheaper
dollars if it has amy sense or point Mt all.
He entices farmers to join in the cru
SADIE by suggesting that they can pay
their debts easier with cheap dollars.
He is like the unjust steward who said
to the debtor who owed his lord hum
drcd measures of oil, take thy hili and
sit down quickly and write fifty"
He tells the wage-carners that it would
be a good thing for them to get their
pay in cheaper dollars and that i'll some
roundabout way cheaper dollars would
give them steadier employment.
He tells the holders of insurance poll
cics that it would be a blessed thing for
them to have their losses paid in cheaper
dollars. because the companies would

would. would, the ne, aggregate Of premiums ., eX-

them to draw out cheaper dollars than
they put IN because ii they don't they
may not be able to draw ont anything,
or they may find it necessary to draw
out all their money to meet living ex-
penscs.
BY such puerilities he seeks to induce
people to swallow the free silver pill.
But we observe one strange oversight.
Mr.: Bryan did not explain how cheaper
dollars would benefit pensioners. He
might have told them that they could
more than make up their loss by dead
beating their landlords and butchers and
grocers. But he lost his opportunity.
Perhaps he will attend to that in his
formal letter."
When it comes to that he may think
it best to make it little clearer. if he
can. how workingmen. policy holders, de-
positors in savings banks and investors
in building and loan associations would
be benefited by getting their pay in dol
lars worth anywhere from 10 to so per
cent. less than the dollars they are now
getting, or the dollars they deposited, in

"I,oor Mans Money!"

Among the transparencies carried by
the sliouters for Bryan ut Des Moincs
Friday evening We're some bearing the
words, "Silver is the poor mans money!"
Vote for the poor mans money" and "a
2OO-cent dollar is Il dishonest dollar"
Such sentences show the drift of the
public mind and reveal only too plainly
that with many people the silver ques-
tion is one of prejudice rather than one
of reason. What is the meaning of the
phrase, "Silvcr is the poor mans mon
cy?" We doubt very much if the man
who carried that transparency could
have given an intelligent answer. Under
United States will buy just rs much at
home or abroad as Il gold dollar. 1t
mxkes no difference to the workingman
whether he receives his weekly wages
in gold or silver coin. The amount of
goods he can purchase is the same. I'm
til the agitation of the silverites drove
the gold of the country into hiding. places
when this silver craze is squclchcd they
will again receive gold as u part of their
wages. , .,.,

the way to do it is to vote for the free
