ABOUT SILVER.

Tom. Watson Rises to Mako Few
Pertinent Remarks.
In 1873 the standard silver dollar was
dropped from our coinage laws. The
legal tender power Of the silver dollars
which had already been coined was not
affected by the Act of 1873. 1t was not
until 1874 that Congress took away the
full legal tender power of silver and
limited it to payments OF five dollars.
Silver remained in this outlawed con-
dition until 1878, when the Bland-Alli-
son Act fully restored its legal tender
quality, and limited the coinage to $48,-
100000 per year.
Between 1878 and 1892 the dear old
Democratic party never let up on the
wicked Republicans who would not
allow unlimited coinage of silver, in
stead of the limited coinage of the
Bland Act and the Sherman Act of 1890.
Kept on worrying over the matter, the
Democrats did, until the people finally
gave them a chance to reopen the
minis to the unlimited coinage of sill
yer. Whereupon said Democrats con-
cluded that the best preparatory step
to unlimited coinage was the stoppage
OF the limited coinage we already had.
In other words, they thought it best,
before pulling the door wide open, to
shut it hard and fast. Having found
said door more than half open, they
entirely closed 1t, as preliminary to
pulling 1t wide open. They got it shut
easy enough; and shut it stays. If 1t is
never opened until one of the old par
ties opens it, free silver and Gabriel
horn-music will be contemporaneou
events.-People's Party Paper.

NOTES AND COMMENT.
What the People Are Saying Thinking

What the People Are Saying Thinking
and Doing.
Silver Dick Bland seems to have put
down a stake at the parting of the
ways" and hung out the red lantern OF
danger. In other words Missouri has
gone free silverwards by ratio of
about 100 to l. The delegation may
possibly allow Ex-Governor Dave Fran
els and Riley Hall to sit in the delega-
ton at Chicago for two reasons. First,
it would tend to keep them out Of mis-
chief, and second, they could be ex-
hibited as relics Of the expiring gold
standard element in that State.
Arkansas will also send solid free
silver delegation to Chicago. The
canvas between the candidates for
Governor in that State is developing
the sentiment there to be almost
unanimous for free silver In one
county (YelD, in the Democratic prim-
aries, 2,2O8 votes were cast, and 2,201
were cast for free silver; only seven be-
ing cast against it. Not only is Arkan-
sas Democracy espousing the cause Of
free silver, but it's representatives op-
pose banks of issue. favor govern
ment issue of money, and strict rail-
road control; the candidates for Gov
ernor taking this open stand.
This being the case, and the trend of
many leading Populists being in the
direction of adopting substantially the
same kind of platform, the Arkansas
Democrats don't understand why the
Populists can't join the Democratic
party. In recent interview with Hon.
Dan w. Jones, one of the candidates
for Governor, and the leading one, he
said the Democrats would nominate a
man at Chicago whom the Populists
could support, and he thought that
they would do so.
E. Gerry Brown, prominent East
ern reformer, takes up the gauntlet and
says:
"The Belmont interview has mean
ing which is too plain. 1t is a hint Of
either notification or secession. 1t Is

the ballot box or with traitorous gold to

Money-Its Relation to Labor.

GEORGE G. FINDLEY.
Labor is not satisfied with it's wages
It receives too little for it's services-too
little money, too little consideration
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-06-06

Labor is not satisfied witt
It receives too little for it's St
little money, too little CO
pertaining to it's employ
ment, too little of the rights
and privileges due the
workers as useful members
of the body polite, too
small a share ofthe blessings
of civilization and the good
things Of life to which it has
itself given shape from the.
rough material of bountifu1
nature. Labor, in short, is
undervalued. This is the
labor question: Wages arc
too low.
Prices, economists agree,
are determined by supply
and demand. Supply, how
ever, in such connection, is
more than the available
store OF the product seeking
q market. If one trades
wheat for potatoes the
terms of the exchange are
affected by the scarcity or
abundance of the potatoes
no less than by the scant or
bountiful supply of wheat.
Supply includes. therefore,
the available store seeking a
market, not only of the
thing given in exchange, but
Of that also which is re-
ceived. So, also, Of demand
the terms of the exchange
are affected blythe demand for
both products, for potatoes
no less than for wheat.
This principle holds good
in all exchanges, whether of
product for product, pro-
duct for money, or labor for
either product or money
The supply and demand for
each article determines it's
relative value, and the re-
1ative value of each article
is measured against the
relative value of that for
which it is exchanged, and

money. Equally with the
supply of products, there
fore, the supply of money
affects prices. Wages are
the price of labor. Does
not the labor question,
traced to it's source, in all
it's modification then become
the money question?
A scarcity of money re-
duces wages, along with the
price of products, as would
an over-supp1y of labor;
and a more liberal supply OF
money raises wages. along
with products, as would a
scarcity OF labor.
Do l need other reasons
for urging workingmen to
consider the money question
the one to them most i'm
portant?
Is it denied that wages
are low? 1t cannot be
denied that products are
down to bankrupt prices;
and if in a few crafts wages
have been maintained it has
been by organization-that
alone; and even in such
crafts it has been at the
expense of production
Either wages have been
lowered, production cur
tailed or labor saving ma
chinery introduced. Labor
in either case is idle; idle
workingmen make poor
customers. The wrong to
labor reacts upon society,"
and in the business world,

trouble on the country, bar
