The point to which attention IS directed
Is the candidate > admission that me Tree
coinage OF silver would operate 10 re-
duce liked salafSs. II was not lnS lySs
an admission because il WAS probably let
slip by accident in his eaeerncss TO excite
animOsity toward insurance company
presidents because they are supposed
to receive large salaries.
He accused them OF being more anxious
TO protect themselves against the elect
OK free coinage on their salaries than TO
as though IL was crime Tor them 10 at
tempt TO reduce their salaries by act OF
congress. But ne does not deny that the
legislation hc advocates would reduce
their salaries. on the contrary he sug-
gests that q reduction of their salaries by
such legislation would be something OF
which he could justly be proud.
How could free coinage or silver reduce
the salaries Of these men If their salaries
are nXed-that is, II they receive liked
number OF dollars annually? Simply by
putting a cheaper silver dollar in place
of the existing gold dollar. There Is no
other way. II would be done by reducing
the yalue-the purchasing power-Of the
dollars in which salaries are paid.
But YOU can't cut down the big salary OF
the insurance company president, OF the
bank president or the railroad president In
this way without at the same time cut
ting down the salary of the college profes-
sor and the common school teacher and
the wages OF the clerk, the skilled mecnan-
&c and the common laborer pro rata.
II we are TO have a cheaper dollar 10
cut down the salary Of the man who gets
$50 900 a year we will have the very same
dollar for the sweat-shop man who gets
81 n day and for the woman who gets 30
cents a day.
Therefore every man and woman in
America is interested In Mr.. Bryans ad-
mission that free coinage OF silver as
advocated by him would reduce fixed sal
aries" because i'm precisely the same way
Il would reduce the pay Of every man and
woman who works for wages. which are
lust as much fixed as salaries.-Chicago
