States, with the corresponding loss Of
wages TO the operatives and the reduc-
zion of wages in other industries
caused by the competition of idle mill
operatives seeking employment in new
fields, where does the wage-earner find
those thousands of feet heretofore
bare and thousands of limbs hereto
fore naked or covered with rags"
clothed and shod, as Mr.. Springer and
Mr.. Bryan promised?
We see what the Wilson law, operat-
ing on the wooden industry alone, has
cost our people. 1t has cost the farmer
more than $4,000, 900 sheep, that in 1892
were valued at $3.50 head. 1t has cost
him S32.000,O0o a year in the value of
his wool. 1t has cost him the loss of
purchasing power of the wage-earners
in the wooden industries, who, with
their earnings reduced or gone-S0 per
cent of the wool machinery being idle
cannot buy his other products as
they bought them in 1892.
1T has cost the manufacturer his bust
ness and his prot IS, which enabled him
to pay full wages to 100000 persons.
1t has cost the mill operatives mill
lions in wages. and, with their wages
shrunken into insignifcance, it has cost
everyone else some part of his prosper
ity 1t has taken away something
from those whose wages or living has
depended on selling articles Of con
sumption to those mill operatives who
are now robbed of their pay by a tariff
law which gives their wages to people
who work AZ foreign looms.
Bare fect and naked limbsi Where
We're they in 1892, and what is RESPONSE
BILE for them now? Does the farmer
wonder why he cannot sell his crops?
Is the merchant puzzled because his
goods lie unbought on the shelves?
Does the wage-earner seek a reason for
the scarcity of employment and the
lessened reward of labor? Is there any
who wishes TO work, or has any
thing to sell, or is anxious to get ade-
quate returns from anything he pos
sesses, who doubts what is the source
of his trouble? 1t is the crime of 1894
the crime of Wilson, of Springer and
of Bryan.

Convincing Statistics Presented by. Msi
Mckinley TO His Visitors

Mckinley to His Visitors.
The statistics of the invasion of
American productiveness by the Viii
son tariff which Maj Mckinley pre-
sents TO the delegations that visit him
at Canton are the most powerful ar
guments that are being adduced in this
campaign. They bring before the
country in high relief the salient fact
that when a man knows a given sub
ject entirely, as Maj. Mckinley knows
the tariff, it is an easy matter to carry
conviction to his hearers. Not single
big industry that has suffered during
the demoehatie incumbency-and hard
~ one has rrospered-has failed to re-
ceive a bright comparative elucidation
in the republican candidates home ora
tory. When he parallels the conditions
that prevailed in 1890 in all the large
productive interests with those that
obtain to-day, citing figures on invest
ment, output, operatives and wages, he
speaks with the voice of one who COM
prehends his subject in all its ramifica-
tions
Nor is he to be beguiled into making
rash promises for the future. Mai.
Mckinley argues from facts and from
these he draws reasonable deductions.
The teachings of economic history do
not warrant, in his estimation. the hold
ing of a picture of unearned prosperity
before the country. He simply saws:
Thus ard SO was the situation in the
United ST. tes under a definite condition
Of legislatio. and thus and so it has
changed when that legislation was
modified.
A single paragraph from recent adj
dress to Pennsylvania delegation will
suffice to make this clear. Speaking
comparatively of coal production, he
said:
'We must go back to the policy and
conditions of 1892 to start factories and
increase our demand for American coal.
We must reestablish the system by
which we increase the output of coal
from the mines of the United States
from 100000 tons in 1880 to 141, o0o.-
900 in 1890; that increased the value of
our annual product from $95.000,0O0 in
1880 to $160,000,000 in 1890: that in
CACdSCO tllc Ol DeTSOUS eli
ployed in our coal mines from 10000
in 1880 to 299 900 in 1890; that paid in
wages to those miners in 1890 sos, 000,-
900, as against $55.Ooo,000 in 1880, and
that made profitable an investment in
coal mining of probably S342 100000 in
1890, as against $261 10000 in $780,"
In this way the republican candidate
has appealed to the understanding
rather than the prejudices of his hear
ers, and shown them as an agent in the
moral advancement of the people that
it is better to increase honest pro-
ductiveness among the masses thar
arouse dishonest cupidity; better by
lawful means to add to the wage-earn-
er's opportunity than to unfold schemes
tending to make him believe that he
can get something for nothing; better,
in a word, TO toll honestly than to gam
BILE. In accounting for the attractive
ness of Canton to the masses that now
visit it, this trend of Maj. McKinley's
must be allowed for as one of the prin-
cipal elements in remarkable cam
paign. st. Louis Star Sayings.

FREE SOIL AND FREE RIOT.
The Popocratic Candidate Has the Impu-
dence to Compare Them.

0GHSE " NpAnpAEG
No part Of the Chicago platform has
been more strongly denounced than the
one which denies the right of the fed
eral government to execute the laws of
congress within state without first
asking permission of the authorities of
that state. No declaration is more re-
pugnant to the great majority of the
American people since, if adhered to in
1861, it would have made the suppress
sion of the rebellion impossible. 1t is
a declaration i'll favor of the right of
free riot, since it is inspired by hostil-
ity to the action of the federal govern
ment in 1894 in putting an end to the
destruction, lawlessness and Interrupt
ton of the nations commerce caused
by the Chicago riots. which the Illinois
authorities could not or would not sup
press.
Yet Mr.. Bryan in his Brooklyn speech
had heimpudence to compare the popo-
cratic declaration of 1886 in favor of
free riot with the republican declara-
ton of 1850 in favor of free soil. The
Lincoln republicans of 1860 denounced
the attempts of the then federal au.
thorities to force slavery upon Kansas by
conniving with the Missouri border
ruffians when it Y as a manifest desire
Of a majority of the lawful voters of
Kansas TO keep slavery out of the new
state. Their declaration was for free
dom; the Bryan declaration is for an
archy.
With the same impudence and by
pocrisy, Mr.. Bryan was moved to ex-
press his regret to a Brooklyn audience
that Henry Ward Beecher was not alive
to-day to raise his voice for Bryan and
the Chicago platform. Mr.. Bryan
knows that he and his platform repre-
sent nothing that Mr.. Beecher ever APP
proved. He knows that if Mr.. Beecher
We're alive to-day and his strength per
mitted his eloquent voice would be heard
in powerful denunciation of the per-
nicious doctrines which Mr.. Bryan
champions, and especially his attempt
to identify the republican declaration of
1860 in favor of a states right to pro-
hibit slavery with the popocratic dec
laration of 1896 in favor of q states
right to foster riot and prevent the ex-
eeution of the laws of the United States
within the limits of a state without
first asking that states consent.-Phil-
adelphia Press.

A CUNNING FALLAcY.
One OF the Free silver Arguments That
Doesn't Convince.

Doesn't Convince.
One of the most cunning and falla-
cious arguments for farmers in defense
of free silver against the charge of dis
honesty is this: When John Smith Dor
rowed $1,000, wheat was worth one dol
lar bushel Now when his debt is due
it takes 1000 bushels to pay the debt.
If the 50-cent dollar becomes legal it
win only equalize the matter and en-
able John Smith to pay his debt with
the sale of 1000 bushels.
Sometimes this wretched falIacy is
put in even more alluring shape as this
way: John Smith borrowed 81 900 to
buy seed wheat and got 1000 bushels
of his neighbor, Jones, who would have
given him the wheat instead OF the
money. Now he has to pay back his
seed wheat bill and he has to devote
1000 bushels to pay for the 1000 bush
els then purchased, and the question is
asked; rs it iust?"
The answer to this wretched subter-
fuge is this: John Smith borrowed
money, not wheat. lie took his chances
on the rise or fall of wheat His neigh
t11F pft1Ncs tIOfA liz IL IL tktC otlCIulS-
ton, and would have gained nothing if
wheat had risen. and should, therefore.
lose nothing wheat has fallen. Sup
pose wheat had risen TO two dollars.
would Smith have paid Jones 81. 900 in
stead Of ST .00o2
Suppose Smith had been a manufac-
turer making farming machinery; ma
chinery has fallen in price; shall the
manufacturer pay his debt IN the equiv
alent of machinery at that time?
Some men buy grain options; shall
they be alloyed to liquidate on the
basis Of their purchase price? A bushel
Of wheat is not the unit Of value, no. is
corn, nor cotton, nor cattle, nor pig
iron. All these f1nctuate. Good money
does not. The raiser Of wheat can no
more be shielded from loss by decline
Of the market than the pig-iron man.

What has Bryan done for the wage
Farmers Of America? In 1892 he cham

All he could 10 overthrow the protective
policy that kept worlfingmen at work
the protective policy, that made tho
progress Of this country the envy Of the
world, was overthrow. What has been
the result?
The American Economist sought 10
find out and sent to all manufacturing
establishments in the states and terri
tories letter asking for information
for the number of persons employed
during July, 1892, and July, 1896 These
periods were taken because they repre-
sent lapse of two years after the pas
sage of the Mckinley bill and two years
after the passage Of the Wilson bill.
The Economist says regarding the re-
plies:
Up to the close OF last week VIC had re-
ceiyed upward Of $50 reports from employ
ers In 36 different states who, in July 1892,
afforded occupation for 114,231 hands.
WtNAf9eaS tie SsAtiE EOHC6TIlS COufu only en-
ploy 7S,700 hands in July Of this year
The amount of wages paid in July 1892,
10 the 1l4,23l hands aggregated $3927. 200.
But the pay rolls for last July. after two
years Of the democratic free trade tariff,
aggregated only S2.469,712
The monthly rate Of wages has declined
from $3.50 to So among those who are at
work. The number Of idle hands In about
$50 establishments was 1881 The monthly
loss of earnings to the wage-earners was
s1,457, 4SS. The decrease In employment has
exceeded 80 per cent. The decrease In
wages earned has been 40 per cent
This is what Bryan has helped do for
the workingmen Of ..merica. He was
the eloquent champion Of policy that
has thrown 80 per cent, Of the wage
earners out Of employment and reduced
the wages Of those that are fortunate
enough to be still employed 40 per cent.
The wage-carners would do well to
steer clear Of any policy that Bryan adj
vocates.-Hamilton (O.) News.
