and the insurance money may thus be-
come the sole resource of the widow and
orphans. Surely, a fund such as this
ought to be sacred against robbery
through depreciation of the value of the
money in which it is paid. Free silver,
on the basis of the present value of the
two metals. would rob every widow of
half the money value coming to her
from the insurance carried by her hus-
band.
And this would be stupendous rob-
berry indeed. The five Massachusetts
life insurance companies of which sta
tistics are given in the commissioner
report, paid S4,637 1888 in death claims
last year. The grand total reported of
all life insurance companies doing bust
ness in this state was S66, S51 AT. Can
the women, for whose benefit most of
this insurance money was paid, regard
with equanimity the loss of S33 900, 900
In one Year, There are millions of wom-
en- dependent upon the payment of such
policies. The Massachusetts, companies
had 122,600 policies in force last year,
calling for $780,. S74 500 in case of death.
The grand total, including all companies,
was 1,143,35O policies. amounting to the
enormous sum of 81, 795, 0S3, 1874. Right
here in Massachusetts, there is $2S7, 910,-
469 at stake in this way.
In addition to all these there are the
assessment life insurance companies,
with 1920 certificates in force, repre-
senting $93, so. 457; the fraternal bene-
hciary associations. with n membership
of S54.650, which paid out $40 ,063, 656
for 10000 death claims last year; the
casualty companies, which paid out
S3O0,3O1. All these, which are primari-
ly for the relief of widows and orphans,
would have to pay in deprecated money
under free silver.
But the money in which the premiums
on these policies have been paid is
money as good as gold, worth 100 cents
on the dollar. In Massachusetts alone
last year So 740,S67 was thus paid Do

right, TO receive from the insurance com

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

There is not so much fanaticism and
foolishness in the country as was sup
posed when Bryan captured the Chicago
convention with his "crown of thorns"
and cross of gold" harangue. The
observation-disclosures of the masses is still
10 be counted upon as safeguard against
Socialism and anarchy.
Powderly hits the nail squarely on the
head when he tells the workingman that
his motto with regard to money should
be, The best is none too good for
me-"
A man is said to have injured his ankle
in a silver debate. That's what comes
Of letting people with comparatively lit
tie strength juggle with these heavy ar
guments.
Mr.. Powderly. who says the Bryan
free-silver panic would be worse for la
Dor than all the strikes ever known. will
come in for the abuse of the Debsites
who want strikes galore. free silver,
free rum and general breakup.
A government. like an individual must
have n reputation for honesty and have
good backing If IL does business with
the great world outside of its own linn
its.
Mark Hanna is firmly Of the belief
that the only effective confidence restora-
tive is put up at Canton.
Bryan says that "the present dollar has
too great purchasing power" Ask some
one who sweats through eight hours TO
earn one whether this is true.
Spain wants more money. She should
send for Bryan.
An honest dollar is the noblest work of
politics.
Even the Democrats of Michigan.
Wisconsin and Ohio are focking to the
standard Of Mckinley. The same thing
afilicts Mr.. Bryan. il seems. that led the
parrot of story into serious trouble. He
talks too much.
Neither free silver nor any other cheap
money device can bring prosperity to
nation burdened with a tariff which on
crates adversely to the interests of its
own people.
Bryan appears 10 be one of those men
who think they know il all. and an in
teligent and observing public does not
need TO be informed what usually hap
pens TO them.
To put money into circulation is the
need Of the time. and that can be done
only by n protective tariff that will re-
vive industry.

minstrel show. You hear one, you hear
them all.

class to become farmers or producers Of
The year 1892 shows a record Of mar
velous activity in the direction Of secur-
ing larger division of labor by en-
ploying more In our mechanical indus
tries. Our shops were filing up, new
enterprises were started. labor was In
demand at good prices in mechanical in
dustries, reciprocity was enlarging and
extending our markets and we seemed
in every way 10 be realizing for the
American farmer and artisan the full
value of that law of political economy
and creating wealth by division OF Ia
bor"
In 1892 the policy of protection was re-
versed and thus the laborers from the
shops and factories were forced from
sheer necessity TO go out upon the lands
and become producers instead of consum-
ers. 1t has been estimated that over a
million laborers have since the election or
1892 when compelled to seek employ
ment in farming In order TO obtain sub
sistence for themselves and families;
many of these have converted parcels
of ground near and around their homes
into corn and potato patches, thereby
enormously decreasing the demand for
the products of the regular farm. IL
Is easy to understand when the full enect
of this shifting of labor from the mechan-
ical industries TO the farm is considered,
what the effect must be upon prices
OF farm products. i
In view of these facts, all Of which can
be verified in the past history of our
country, il is plain that our farmers are
directly interested in the employment of
labor and that their prosperity depends
largely upon whether that labor is en-
ployed as competitors in the production
, of farm products, or as consumers en-
ployed in the mechanical Industries or
the country. We are certainly learning
from severe practical experience the
truth and value of the economic principle
all eady referred to that 1.-The greatest
creator of wealth is the greatest possible
division of labor" We are also learning
that this division of labor may be
brought about by wise policy of protec-
ton.
The effect of production upon the
products of the farm can be summed up
in a few words. First, will il increase
or diminish the number engaged in pro-
ducing the products of the farm? Sec
ond, will ii increase or diminish the num-
Der of consumers of farm products?
When you have answered these two
plain propositions you will be master of
the entire argument of protection and
free trade. so far as the farmer is con-
cerned. You need be concerned in no
way about the free coinage of silver
as this cannot in any way possible in
crease or diminish the consumption of
your products. It's adoption. however,
would have the effect, as Mr.. Bryan
admits, of producing a panic and con-
tnued depression in our mechanical in
dustries forcing more labor TO the farm
and thereby add to the number already
producing farm products.
The employment of labor in our me-
chanical industries and not the free
coinage of silver is the thing that inter-
ests the farmer and is to secure for him
the Prosperity he so much desires.-H.
