Increase Not Decrease the Consumption.

If the great majority of people who
depend upon their earnings for their
support are deprived of opportunity to
keep their earnings up to the average
standard. their living expenses must
inevitably fall below the average
standard. That is just what has hap
pened the past year. Statistics that
have been compiled show that the av-
erage citizen in this country consumed
in 1895 one and a half bushels less
wheat, one and a third bushels less
corn, one-half pound less coffee and a
pound less sugar than he had done on
the average Multiply this falling off
country. and it will not require a Solo
mon to arrive at the conclusion that
what is needed just now is some way of
increasing the consuming power of our
people Will free silver do this? There
is not the slightest possibility that il
can. Suppose, for argument. that free
silver would double the prices of every
thing. including wages, by cutting the
value of the dollar in two. of what add
vantage would it be? Absolutely none
Suppose it raised the prices of every
thing except labor, would that help
anyone in the end? 1t would lessen the
consuming power of labor by as much
as it increased the cost of his living.
In other words, it must eventually
prove an injury to the producer as We'll
as consumer. for the two interests are
indssolubly united. They cannot be
separated. If the farmer had to Dor
row money to get along when the CON
Stunning power of the country was at
its height, and he could borrow at a
very low rate of interest for he was not
expected to repudiate his debts, will he
not have to borrow. after he has repu-
dated his old debts and finds that he
will have to pay as much more for
what he buys as he gets more for what
he sells and the consumption of his
products is continually falling off, his
market contracting. and interest at a
high rate because lenders are suspi-
cious of q repudationist?

pion lobbyists have never lacked for
the sinews of war, and there is COM
mon ground on which. it appears.
Populist and millionaire can meet and
pass the time of day and possibly
some more substantial commodity. In
short free-silver Doodle is playing an
important part in that st. Louis Pop
ulist convention if we are to believe
what have always been regarded as
unmistakable signs of bargaining.
Under such circumstances, the Popu-

ry, will scarcely wish to discriminate
between thirty pieces of gold or thirty
rieces of silver.

P0pulists Will Take Silver Or Gold.

Populism in the South has represent
tyranny Of their party machine.
Owing to the color prejudice they
sought refuge in the Populist party
instead of the Republican party,
though very many of them do not
subscribe to all or the majority of the
tenets of populism Those men hest
tate when they think that there may
be a possibility that those objection
able principles, which for political
purposes they have advocated in state
campaigns, are to succeed in national
councils. This accounts in quite a
degree for the opposition of Southern
Populists to the endorsement of Bryan
and Sewall. On the other hand selfish
tant part in moulding the action of
the leaders of those Southern Popu-
lists at st. Louis. If they can be made
to believe that popocracy will win
their desire to get on the band wagon
on equal terms with their Democratic
opponents at home will prove a mighty
incentive. 1t is being used it is said.
with the effect that their hostility to
the Popocratic ticket is weakening.
