DIX TOLARS VALUABLE SUGGEs
TION

To the Editor of The Post,
can The Post say something to encour-
age those 50-ceHt dollar fellows? They
nave worked themselves up to ihat pitch
that unless something is said to soothe
thelr minds they are liable to become un-
balanced. and Will be dangerous to be al
lowed to turn loose In the country These
5o-cent dollar fellows are perhaps the
most sympathctical set of fellows thai We
have among us. They are a class who do
not work for wages but hire labor of all
| Classes. You lind them at the head of
great corporations. trusts. syndc.ates and
capital combinations of every class. Then
again YOU find them filing all the fat sal
aired Offices OF the government, ANA 1t IS
heartrending to hear them talk about the
poor laborer who viii have TO take his

kindness 10 consider the great benefit that

Go.uDug m represents the money power
OF THIS nation, ana while we can under
sand why Hon. George r. Finlay, VINO
draws a rat salary from Uncle sam, Is
opposed to cheap money, George knows
that the people foot the b.ll. and he finds
a -p0-ccnt dollar so convenient that he
has gone square back on the grand old
party which has bestowed upon nm us
greatest honors time and time usaln. and
now at this time when his Immediate sur
round ngs has mislcd him into the belief
that the party which has bestowed upon
han all the honors he has ever acquired
Is N danger We find him edging up to the
republican pie counter and "sassins back
at the democracy. This is very much like
he bad boy sAsstng back a his mauliuN
We can understand George and all his
sort They know that dear money Is the
best for tho man of fixed salary, but the
ccrpoYat.p on class, who hire help by the
thousands, bowling against beng forced
to pay the dear labOrer w.th oO-cent dol
lors causes the angels to weep.
Now To aid In relieving. some OF these
rellows from intense suffering In mind
and body. for they are using both in
their ondoaVor TO save the lahorcr from
tbs 50-cent calamity. | want to suggest
that in he event OF Mr. Bryan's cleo
ton they just give the wages OF these en-
ploycs 100 Per cent and all will be right.
If the dollars under free coinage viii ON
" he worth 30 cents. they can pay Two %
cent dollars for a dollars worth of work
ana the employees Will be satisfied aud
their minds set at rest

gestton. my object being merely TO re-

hut I believe Mr.. Bryan, when elected,
which = Just as certain as anything can
he without the final count, will be abe to
sUggeu something that may relieve
them to a certain degree, at least enough
% give them independent action as well
a thought
The people know where they are Mt 10
this campaign and they know that a

the mass who produce the wealth Of
the world The majority that BRYAN polls

the pa,mer-Ruckner vote will SHOW the
Hannacrats how strong they are.
