Mckinley Against Monopoly.

to monopolies, but the manufacturers Of
this country should not be thus charac-

tunes. In general they have no inde-

and mortar of their establishments, in
the machinery, in the organization, in
their trade. And how many of them to-
day would be willing to sell out for first
cost, and below first cost, if they could
do it! He who would break down the

THE CAUSES OF IOLENESS.
Threatened Free silver Measure Is One
of Them.

Mr.. Bryan. in his Chicago speech on
Labor Day. referred To idleness as the
cause of the increase of crime. Any
legislation, then, actual or proposed.
which causes idleness among men who
but for its influence would be at work,
must be held responsible for whatever
increase of crime we behold. In this
view of the facts, il is Democratic leg
islation, actual and proposed. on the
tariff and on the silver question, that
is filling our roads with tramps and
highwaymen, our towns with burglars
and pickpockets. making business for
our criminal courts. filling our jails and
penitentiaries and ripening fruit for
the gallows.
However calamitous the effect of the
Wilson bill in curtailing the field of
employment for our workingmen, it is
quite certain that the threatened free
coinage measure has done immensely
more than any tariff changes to put
a stop to industrial enterprise and to
check the flow of capital into the pur-
suits that furnish employment for
workingmen. Both together include
al. the causes which have shut up our
mills and factories or reduced their
forces to the lowest limit. For all the
forced idleness in the country they are
responsible. and Mr.. Bryan represents
them both. AS the champion of free
trade and the accredited representative
of the cause of free coinage he stands
for the two things which. in many diff
ferent degrees. have brought upon the
country all the calamities IL has been
suffering for the past three years. And
when the hundreds Of men who can
not find any work at living wages in
quire the reasons for their misfortunes
they will not be long in finding out
that Bryan represents not only all the
evils that betide them, but hundred
fold more calamities in the future

TOUGH ON THE FARMER.
What Would Happen If Free Coinage
Became n Law.

Became n Law.
Mr. w. j. Bryan appeals for the sup
port of the farmers by telling them
that free coinage of silver would en-
able them to pay off their mortgages
more easily. Now. The New York
Press does not for one moment believe
that the American farmers as n body
desire to get free of their debts dis
honestly. We know of no body Of cit
liens who adhere more rigidly to hon.
orablc principles. who cherish more
steadfastly business rectitude and
personal integrity than the American
farmers. We do not believe that the
American farmers desire to give back
so cents in place of 81 which they have
borrowed.
But, suppose that we admit, for the
sake of following Mr.. Bryan's argu-
ment. that the American farmers as a
class do wish TO discharge their mort
gage obligations by paying so cents on
the dollar, then how will free coinage
enable the farmer whose mortgage OBJ
legations are payable i'm gold to get
rid Of his mortgage by paying half the
value Of the principal? Under free
coinage this farmer would accept in
exchange for his products silver dol
lars. His whole income from all
sources would be in silver. but when
he came to pay off his gold mortgage
obligation il would require 81 of this
silver to obtain 81 of gold with which
TO make the mortgage payment. The
farmer would be compelled to go into
the market and buy gold with his sill
yer and to pay 100 per cent. premium
for the gold.
Now, every dollar that every farmer
in the United States takes in today is
a good dollar. equal to a gold dollar,
and will be taken at par value with
gold for the payment OF a gold mort
gage or any other obligation. The
farmer who today can take the money
that he receives and pay with il his
mortgage. interest or principal, dollar
for dollar, would be compelled, under
free coinage, when he made his mort
gage payments, to put up two silver
dollars for every dollar that he now
puts up.
If this sort of exchange is going to be
a benefit TO the American farmer who
pays his debts we fail to see how. Per-
haps Mr.. Bryan could explain it, but he
takes very good care not to explain 1t.
just as he takes good care not TO ex-
plain how the workingmen whose dol
lar will now buy 100 cents worth of
anything is going TO benefit them when
the purchasing power of the dollar
which he receives under free coinage
will be cut down ne-half-New York

Places the Issues nj tho Campaign Upoa .
High finne.


Major McKin:ey placed the issues OF
the campaign upon a high plane when
he said in addressing the delegation
from Vermont:
ITO me the question OF free trade is
a question OF humanity. the voice OF la
bor pleading for its own. and the ques-
tion of free silver a question OF pub
lie morality. honor. and good faith.
and It's success would be a blot on our
hitherto spotless national credit"
The money loss To the American peo-
pie by free trade and free coinage can
be approximately measured in dollars
The figures showing the increased i'm
portation of manufactured goods under
the Wilson tariff law graphically depict
the money loss sustained by the Amer
lean mechanics. Dividing the total as
sets OF all building and loan associa-
tions and the total savings deposited in
the savings banks by two will give a
fair idea of the losses that will fall up
on several millions of our people by the
adoption of a debased currency.
There is something else besides math-
ematics in this campaign. AS Major
Mckinley said 10 the sturdy New Eng
laEders from the Green Mountain
state, ii is a question of humanity and
of public morals. Shall we deprive
American labor of it's undoubted right
to supply the home market and after
robbing ii for the enrichment of foreign
labor give ii a deprecated currency
with which 10 purchase the necessities
of life? After doing this shall we re-
pudiate our national obligations and
destroy our credit with the nations of
the earth?
These are questions of humanity and
morals. Fortunately for the welfare Of
this country they appeal quite as
strongly to a very large proportion Of
our people as do questions of mere
profit and loss.-Chicago Times Herald.
