Saddle, proper distribution of the

Inappropriate dress has a certain

A "Per Capita conundrurn.

Every true worshiper Of the silver
"fetieh" believes as the first article of
the free coinage gospel that if the guam
tity Of money is doubled prices will be
twice as high. This is the essence of the
per capita argument and is considered
by both silverites and fiatists to be the
sum of financial wisdom. Second only
to their faith i'll the sacred words ''per
capita" is the belief Of the cheap money
advocates that the undeniable prosperity
of France is due to the fact that that
country has about $40 of money for each
inhabitant. Attempts to show that in
reality the French people are prosperous
because of their high level of intelli-
gence, their skill in the industrial arts,
their system of land holding and meth
DDS of cultivation and the great and
varied natural resources of the country
have had no weight with the one idead
silver agitators.
Since France has nearly twice as
much money per capita as the United
States, according to the believers in the
theory that the quantity of money fixes
prices, goods should be twice as dear in
France as in America. Now it is noto-
rious that such is not the case. On the
contrary, the products of French mills,
factories, etc, are sold so cheaply that
it is necessary to impose heavy duties
on them to prevent their competition
with high priced American goods. Will
some per capita financier explain why
the large volume of money in France
does not raise prices in that country?

People who want Free coinage.

1t is always useful to analyze the
forces entering into popular movement.
In this silver movement we have:
First. The owners of the silver mines
in the "silver states, seeking to manu-
faoture by law better market for their
silver bricks and to grow still richer at
the expense of the people.
Second Honest ignorance. Those
who have not yet discovered that money
is not the whole of wealth and really
believe that more money in the country
means less labor to make living.
Third. Those who understand this
thing and know better, but hope out of
much deprecated money the more easily
to pay old debts. Debts contracted in
gold values would be paid in dollars
worth 80 or SO cents. 1 have seen this
idea openly, impudently and unblush-
ingly urged by great journal in sill
yer state, addressing itself to farmers
carrying mortgages on their lands.
Fourth.-A lot Of bright, smart fell
lows who are always ready with an in
fallible Judgment about all things, with
out ever studying or understanding any
thing.
Fifth. Some public men, who under
stand this thing perfectly we'll, but have
not the courage to tell the people the
truth. wishing to carry gold on one
shoulder, silver on the other and votes
ON both.
Sixth. Some honest public men who
do not understand this thing and never

Wages In Mexico.

There are really no wages in Mexico.
All working people take what they can
get-that is, what the employer chooses
to pay. Wageworkers make so little
that there is no incentive to thrift, no
stimulation of energy. The classes are
the rich and the poor There is no mid
die class. More hopefully perhaps it
might be said that middle class is just
beginning to form. They who see no
hope of independence. or even of small
homes, naturally have no ambition. As
soon as they get very little money they
quit their employment and squander it.
Many employers make money, but their
prosperity is based on the degradation Of
labor. The men who do the heavy work
in the mines of Mexico receive not more
than 10 cents to 81 day i'll Mexican
money, or from 40 to so cents in actual
money for agricultural labor there never
is quotable rate; hackmen and walters
at restaurants depend almost or wholly
ON "tips," which custom makes small,
and the money of the country smaller;
house servants get from 50 to S. a
month, rarely the higher price. And let
it be borne in mind that this is a silver
money country, and that most things ex-
cept labor bear high prices. Core

Lincoln In the rive Points.

Not long before Lincoln was first
nominated for the presidency he went to
New York to make political speech al
the Cooper Union. While there, accord
ing to writer in the Philadelphia
Press, he wandered about the city good
deal and once went to the Five Points,
then the most notorious of New York
slums.
There he was attracted by the sound
of music, and perceiving upon door an
invitation to strangers to enter he went
in and found himself in the Five Points
mission
His manner betrayed so much interest
in the children, especially in their sing
ing, that the superintendent, though he
did not know him, invited him to speak.
Mr.. Lincoln accepted the invitation,
and, as the superintendent used to say,
talked to the children just as loving
and wise father might have talked to
his own sons and daughters, without a
trace of pedantry or cant. After the ex-
ercises the superintendent asked the
stranger for his name.
my name is Lincoln, was the an
swer. Il live in Illinois. =
And then the superintendent knew
that the speaker must be the man whose
address at the Cooper Union had been
SO much talked about tho last few days.

Colonial Legal Tender Laws.

We have seen how capricious were the
tender laws Of the colonial period. Vir-
Binia, for example, varied her practice
in the following manner:
1633-Gold and silver the only legal
tender.
1642-Tobacco the only legal tender.
1655-Tobacco, silver and wheat
equally legal tender at fixed rates.
1666-Peas. Indian corn, barley, oats
and wound silk added to the preceding
articles as legal tender at fixed rates.
1727-Tobacco notes legal tender for
tobacco debts within the warehouse dis
trict, but not elsewhere.
1730-Tobacco notes the sole legal
tender for tobacco debts in the ware
house district
1755-Silyer legal tender for tobacco
debts at fixed rae. Maryland likewise
had several varieties Of legal tender, in
Guiding this:s
1753-Inspeoted tobacco legal tender
for debts at one-fourth higher rates than
uniuspected. Horace White in Money

FIXED INCOMES AND FREE SILVER.
All Who Labor VIII Find Their Wages
Cut In Half by the Silver Dollar.

&EE5
Cut In Half by the Silver Dollar.
The Denver chamber of commerce,
replying to the appeal for sound money
issued by the New York chamber of
commerce, says that resumption of free
coinage of silver is Objectionable to per
sons of fixed incomes.
This is true, but in a sense broader
than its authors intended. Persons of
fixed incomes are not merely million
aires or army or navy officers. All who
labor in this country, whether the pay
be called salary or wages, are also per-
sons of fixed incomes, and they decided
~ object to having their incomes cut in
half for the benefit of silver mine own
ers.
The blacksmith who makes SO q
week, the carpenter at So per day, the
salesman at 81 900 year, the agricul-
tural laborer at 81. so day, the teacher
at $40 per week, all are persons of fixed
incomes. They find their incomes none
too large for their necessities. Why
should they not object to a slump to
silver, free and unlimited. for the BEN
eft of those who own silver, bat at a
loss of so per cent in their fixed in
comes?
1t is the labor of the country that
most determinedly demands the gold
basis; that demands stability in the cur
rency; that objects most positively to a
loss Of half its fixed income.
Silver mine owners and agents must
reckon with this element, and it is a
mighty element at the ballot box. Let
platform writers note this fact as we'll
as silver mine capitalists. Chicago
