comptroller McCardy notified Com
missioner Copeland of the public works
department yesterday that the balance
on nand in the street, sewer and bridge
maintenance fund amounted to but
ittle more than $4,000. which sum must
De made to cover all the work done
under this fund until December l. Last
month comparatively little work was
zone, so says Commissioner Copeland,
yet the draft on this fund amounted to
$bUoO. AT this rate, much of the work
under way cannot be completed. Com
missioner Copeland says, however, that
the amount on hand is likely to be in
creased by the receipts Of tax collec-
tons
Commissioner Copeland called atten-
ton in this connection to an important
item-that of laying cross walks-the
expense Of which, under the old law.
was borne by the street, sewer and
pridge maintenance fund, while the law
OF 1890 creating commissioner of pub
lie works, provides that cross walks
must be paid for out of the general
fund. AS there have been some 100000
feet Of cross walks laid this year. cost
ing Slz per LOCO feet, or about $8,40O.
while the work Of laying them has cost
| almost as much more, it follows that
at least $4,000 has been expended out
or the street, sewer and bridge main
tenance fund for this purpose.
The amount placed in the tax esti-
| mate last December to the credit of
the street. sewer and bridge main
tenance fund was $120, of which so
per cent, or $4,000, was available at
once. At the time the estimate of
| $4,000 was made, City Engineer Rund-
| lett objected strenuously to the reduc-
ton from $150,000, the amount allowed
in previous years. The city engineer
predicted that the fund would not be
sufficient unlessrthe city should greatly
reduce the wages Of it's street force
and day laborers There have been
several large drafts on the fund during
| the year, the latest being the sum of
| $4,000 set aside to be used by the mayor
in repairing and taking care Of the
| streets prior to and during the G.. A. r.
encampment. AS a matter Of fact
about $4,000 Of this amount was really
| used to pay the. special detectives and
policemen employed during encamp-
| ment week. 5ef e{
AS for the statement that the de-
pleted condition of the fund is due to
| the large expenditures made "by the
old board Of public works, who almost
exhausted this fund before the commits
sioner took charge" 1t is entirely I'M
warranted, inasmuch as the board OF
public works cannot, spend cent with
out the consent of the common council.

In reply to your request that /
should say a few words TO workingmen
upon the silver question, M FAR as con-
Germs workingmen and all Others re-
ceiving snlarics, lies in n nutshell.
First. To-day they are paid IN dol
lars as good az gold, worth 100 cents
everywhere. These gold dollars, being
worth nearly two silver dollars OF the
silver standard countries, buy two dol
lars worth Of tea, coffee, etc, used by
workingmen. This Is the reason that
these articles are now so cheap in gold.
Secondly. The present dollar paid
workingmen, being gold dollars, buy n
full gold dollars worth ol any article in
all countries which are gold standard
countries.
Therefore, II American workingmcn are
paid In silver, the cost OF everything
they use from silver-bearing countries
will be nearly double. This includes tea,
coffee. sugar, spices, etc.
Thirdly. The cost OF articles pur-
chased by his gold dollars from gold
using countries will also be doubled,
as the silver dollar containing about
CD cents worth Of silver, will be taken

The Republican party Is unreservedly
for sound money. IL caused the enact
ment OF the law providing for the re-
sumption OF specie payments IN 1879 J
since then every dollar has been as good
as gold
1--WE are unalterably opposed TO every
measure calculated 60 debase our cur
rency or impair the credit OF our coun-
try. We are, therefore, opposed To the
free coinage OF silver except 10y inter
national agreement with the leading
commercial nations OF the world, which
we pledge ourselves to promote, and
until such agreement can Toe obtained,
the existing gold standard must be pre-
served All our silver and paper cur.
rency must bc maintained at parity with
gold, and we favor all measures designed
TO maintain inviolably the obligations
OF the United States, and all our money
whether coin or paper, nt the present
standard, the standard oil the most en-
lightened nations Adopted by the
Republican national convention at st

by the gold-using countries only az it's
value in silver. To-day our dollars are
taken at 100 cents. The Mexican dol
lar buys in Brazil 53 cents worth Of
coffee; il buys in London 80 cents
worth OF anything; but the American
dollar today buys 200 cents worth OF
coffee ia Brazil and 100 cents worth
OF nything in London. No silver ad-
vocnte can dispute these facts.
II free silver coinage comes, which
Mr.. Bryan desires, the wages OF the
workingmnn will be thus nearly cut IN
half. The question lac has 10 consider
Is: win wages under silver nearly
double? j. not ne is "A loser 10y silver.
ANSWER, Mo- Here IS the fact upon
that subject;
Wages IN silver using countries have
not advanced as the value OF silver has
fallen. The worlingmen in Mexico,
Brazil, China, japan aud India get Just
the same amount OF silver, which is now
worth 53 cents on the dollar, az they
did when silver wils worth 100 cents on
the dollar. These wages range from 10
TO 20 cents per day in silver dollars
worth only about one half tho American
gold dollars.
Nov, the workingman who desires
his revenue Co be reduced nearly one.hall
should vote for Mr.. Bryan; the work
ingman who does not wish this Will
make big mistake il he votes SO.
II may bc asked why employers are
not ia favor OF dcbased money, when
they could pay their workingmen in it
and thus save about ono-bali the cost
Of labor The reason is that employers
know only too well that debased money
has already resulted in disaster TO busi-
ness. It shakes confidence, and busl-
ness is based upon confidence. Employ.
ers are never prosperous unless the
workiugmen are prosperous. 1T Is when
labor commands the highest wages that
profits are highest When labor can b,
obtained at very low rates, because
many men are idle, the employer makes
no profit. lie always loses.
/ should like workingmen TO lool
around and consider the situation W.
read OF millions Of spindels standing idi'
in the textile factories, Of the iron mines
around Lake Superior, Of the furnaces
blown out and almost every manuiac
turing concern in the country runnin
with reduced forces. There is only on
reason for this paralysis in business
! and that is the threat Of reckless, ignor
ant men 70 lower the standard o
money
The day that the republic dccisivcl'
declares that its standard Of value wi
remain what It has been for SO MANI
years-gold see the return Of gen
uine prosperity Until that. day come
we have nothing 20 look for but sucl
: depression as now prevails, and ever
worse.
The question is to be decided 10y tn
workngmen and those who receive
salaries. If they vote for gold, the,
vote FOR prosperity; il they vote for siI
yer they will have themselves to blam
Tor reducing the value Of wages and 10
the hard times certain to follow.
This is question above party, aud II
this contest am neither Republican no
Democrat. but shall vote and work 70
the maintenance OF our gold STANDARD

public shall never be reduced to the leve

John II. Mclean'e
Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper IN the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer !;
o. a more successful publisher than
Us proprietor, Mr.. John r. Mclean.
The old-iime prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained. and
rs circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour.
mails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation Of the public
Tor its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer a, beginning
Of the campaign year was offered at
50 cents a year, and IFS circulation
increased by the addition OF over
400, 900 new subscribers; the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret OF such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon It's patrons, ], simply prints The
facts and tells the truth thai the reader
may form his own opinions. by
maintaining the price Of The paper,
more sews and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
't incumbent upon the management
to serve il faithfully with zeal and en-.
tcrprise in minor matters as well as
those Of greater magnitude.
