TIL. Pensioners, Dollar.

You say you want little about the
old soldiers. Well, my friends, the
crisis which is approaching now, the
question before the country now, ap-
peals to the old soldiers as much as it
did in 1861. I am not afraid that any
man who risked his life in his nations
behalf is going to be Influenced by the
arguments that are addressed to the
soldiers now by the financiers," ETC.
Mr.. Bryan at Milwaukee, Sept. s.
Not one word in answer to the ques-
ton whether the purchasing power of
the monthly pension payments to &c.
600 pensioners would be reduced by the
free coinage Of 16 to silver dollars.
Not word as to the effect upon pen
sion payments hereafter of the "ex-
termination" Of the "20O-cent dollar"
because it is worth too much and buys
too much.
We do not assume that veteran SOL
diers are thinking Of nothing but pen
sions, but they should compel Mr..
Bryan to say frankly what would be
the effect of free coinage upon the pen
sioner's dollar.
Make him answer the question one
way or the other.-Exchange.

Nothinr in L for Ware E.rper,.


Mr.. Bryan has claimed that the free
coinage Of silver would benefit the
working people. How they would Sc
cure anything from the free coinage Of
silver he does not say, perhaps because
ne does not know. It is certainly deep
mystery. In no way that the probable
course Of events can be forecasted can
any advantage for the working people
be reasonably shown.
Everything that man buys for con-
sumption in the household would be
raised in price. Would wages be in
creased in proportion? It is not prob
able that they would for years, If ever.
AS soon as it became apparent that the
free coinage of silver would be UNDER
taken prices would be advanced, but
wages would remain stationary until
employers could ascertain how they
would be affected. With the heavy
losses that many concerns would be
compelled to meet through the pay
ment of outstanding accounts and notes
In deprecated dollars, it is very prob
able that the worktngman would have
to wait long time for his wages to be
raised. In the interval he would have
ample opportunity to realize the stu
pendous folly Of the United States
coming silver dollars at the ratio Of
16 to and debasing it's money, the
lffeblood Of commerce.-Cordage Trade
Journal.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1896-10-23
which? Which?

In communities where wageworkers
predominant Mr.. Bryan continues to
deny any intention Of cheapening the
dollar. He knows and they know that
this would mean diminishing by one
half the purchasing power Of wages
and reducing by one-half the value of
all savings, assurances and loans. And
so he pretends that free coinage will in
crease by nearly one-half the price of
silver and make a silver dollar worth
truly as much as a gold one.
But in the west and in farming COM
munities Mr.. Bryan wakes eloquent on
the need Of a cheaper dollar to increase
the price of farm products and enable
the farmer to pay 500 Of debt with $51
in silver. Leading silver advocates at
the west have repudiated Mr.. Bryan's
idea for eastern hearers only that free
coinage will increase the price of sill
yer to $1.29. They say fatty that such
dollars would be as bad as gold. What
they want is dollar worth only 81
cents.
Which dollar does Mr.. Bryan really
want? He cannot have both. Which
is to be bunkoed-the workingman or
the farmer, the mine owner or the
debtor? Which?

why Does Not MIR. Bryan An,x,

Why Does Not Mr.. Bryan Answerp
Mr.. Bryan tells the farmers that free
coinage Of silver will give them cheap
dollars with which to pay their debts.
Mr.. Bryan tells city workingmen that
free coinage Of silver will raise the
metal to $1.29 per ounce, bringing the
silver dollar at par with the gold dollar.
thus giving city workingmen another
dollar as good as the present one with
which to buy the farmers products.
Th.t Is to say, to the farmers the
5ryan silver dollar is to be cheap dol
lar to pay debts with. To city labor the
Bryan dollar is to be a dollar of high
purchasing power to buy with.
Free coinage of silver cannot produce
these two dollars. It can produce only
one Of the two. Why do not would-be
supporters Of Mr.. Bryan ask him which
dollar he really means? Both the farm
er. who wants to pay debts, and the
workingman, who must buy farm pro-
duce, are interested in having this
question answered.-Chicago Times
Herald.

cided upon by the directors Of the Ma
tional exposition to be held at Toron-
TO. A mammoth structure will be
erected from bales of pressed hay on
the exhibition grounds Of the big
American fair. It will be used to ad-
vertise the vast hay producing country
Of the West. Large bales Of compress
ed hay will be sent down from the
Northwest, and the building will be
built Of these blocks. When completed
the building will be festoened with
wheat and other grains in the sheaf
and in punches, and the entrance will
be tastefully arranged. Inside the
space will be divided of, so as to dis
play the exhibits from each district.

Andrew jackson Versus W. j. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan says a cheaper dollar
would be better for the working classes,
but Andrew Jackson said in his last
message: Engaged from day to day in
their useful tolls they do not perceive
that, although their wages are aomi-
nally the same or even somewhat
higher, they are greatly reduced, in
fact, by the rapid increase of q spu-
rious currency, which. as 1t appears to
make money abound, they are at first
inclined to consider a blessing.
It is not until the prices Of the neces-
sarles Of life become so dear that the
laboring classes cannot supply their
wants out Of their wages that their
wages RISE"

Raising Lowered Trolley Far

Raising Lowered Trolley Fares.
There must he limit to cutting in
all industries, and this limit has been
reached in Detroit in the cheapening
Of street railroad tickets. In that city,
where formerly six tickets were sold
for quarter, the patrons of the cleo
trio roads have for the past seven
months been getting eight tickets for
that price. The managers Of the roads
now say that they cannot get fair
return on their investment at the low
rates, and the old plan has been re-
sumed. This cheap fare experiment,
which has deeply interested the street
railway community, appears to have
been q sheer failure. The company
which tried it has lost $4,000 in re-
ceipts during the present year. It is
not unlikely that the incident will have
it's lesson in other places where the
agitation has been taken up. It is sug-
gested that the only reasonable alter
native offering to the fat Scent fare
is the European plan Of charging a
cumulative fare by punctured ticket
system. That has it's disadvantages,
and besides it is not likely to be pop
ular, as man can ride further and
better for a nickel in America than in
any other country. One point which
has been established in the recent agi-
tation is that lower fares do not seem
to have greatly stimulated travel. The
inference is that the business induced
by cutting the fare cent, or even 2
cents, is often negligible quantity.
A much sounder way Of meeting the
public is to keep up the fare, and give
them comfortable cars and smooth,
well kept roads.

Two Insane.

Mr.. George Doherty of Drayton was
brought to Pembina last week from
Drayton for examination by the board
of insanity. Mr.. Doherty has been
somewhat tlighty on certain subjects
tor a number of years, but has had
sufficient control of his senses to run
his farm profitably and he is in COM
Portable circumstances. A year or
more ago he went to New York and
while there he was taken to an insane
asylum by the authorities. He was
released later and returned to Dray-
ton, and has been gradually growing
worse. and of late has taken to carry
ing Il revolver. AS he is quite irrit-
able and takes strong dislikes it was
thought best to have him placed in
the asylum for his own and others
benefit. On most subjects Mr.. Doher-
ty is rather an intelligent man.
Mr.. Doherty was under the impress
sion when he left on Tuesday on the
N. P. that he was in charge Of an old
Hungarian named Andrew Zoltue,
who has been at the county poor
house for some time, and who is also
insane. AS Deputy D. E. Morden also
went along to assist, it is probable
that the party will get to Jamestown
all right.
