CONNECTICUT II am more
than pleased to see that the G. A.
has come out for straight Social
ism and will support the Socialist
Labor Party, the only true Peo-
ple's Party in the field, the only
party that represents the workers
of the nation-your party and my
party, that always refused TO fuse
with or endorse any of the old
party candidates, but stood op-
posed to and opposed by them all.
! hope that your readers will see
the truth and honesty of your
course, which was the only right
course left for you TO follow. Gst
a ticket in the field if possible.

idea of the Labor Exchange very
much and trust it is one of the

against any attempt at reform
through political action. The pol

in any other method of reform

Dear GRANDER AGE: am
pleased that my article in August

be criticised by the worthy edit
or. Now for a little more on the
same subject: Grant, as has been
stated, that the money power has
all other countries as heavily in
debt as this one, in proportion 10

tail the good that might be done
by move to some small country.
We should not care how tight the
cinch of the money power, if we
as body of co-operators got To-
Gated there and had a sufficient
number TO make majority OF the
population, we could run things
to suit ourselves. Having no use
for gold within our organization,
we could soon dispose of enough
of the products of labor to pay off
the national gold bonds.
You might as well say that there
was no use of the pilgrim fathers
landing on the western continent,
that they could have attained just
as good results by staying where
they were born and fighting it out,
as by coming into another coun-
try, where they knew they could
rule as they liked.
By some it is thought bestto es
tablish cooperative enterprises In
some certain state OF the union,
and 10 first gain political control
of a single state, and then branch
out. Well, supposing we did, it

that country might be small, we

tice in small country before we
could fairly commence operations
here. Here everything is against
us. Plutocracy's educator, the
daily press, has so polluted the
the minds Of the people that many
of them will not believe figures.
You say; "Let Americans not
weld their soil 10 home or foreign
influences under any circumstan-
ces." That would have been good
advice for g gorge Washington TO

have already gwen away their

THE DEAR DOLLAR.
Every Class of Labor Suffers From it-Not
 So the Money Lender.

Every Class of Labor Suffers From 1t-Not
 So the Money Lender.
 Men who work for wages should re- member that money not only buys things, but that 1t has 10 be bought.
 A dollar is bought by wo1kingman with a certain amount of work. If dol lars are few and workingmel plenty, he will have to pay pretty deaT in effort for his coin. Perhaps he will not even get chance to buy it at all, either be- cause there are not enough dollars to go around or because he cannot CT will not pay the price. h such event the fact that the dollar be doesn' get is one of great value neither interests nor profits him.
 The shopkeeper buys his dollars with goods. Ninety nine out of every 100 of his customers, if he runs city store, work for wages, and if the deaIness of the dollar destroys their power of pur- chasing he will get fewer dollars to pay clerks, and some must be discharged fewer dollars with which to buy goods, and factories will be closed. Every class of labor thus suffers by dear dollar.
 Does the banker, the money lender, the man whose investments bringing in interest outweigh all his other sources of income, suffer from a dear dollar? h no way. He does not buy dollars with work, with goods, with produce. He lends dollar, gets back one which, un- der existing conditions, Is sure to be more valuable than the one he lent, and moreover, receives interest in money of high purchasing power. His apparent interest lies wholly on the side of dol lar which is dear today and dearer to- morrow. We say his apparent interest because in fact the present system per sisted in will be harmful to the banking classes as to others. The goose that lays the golden egg may be slaughtered. All securities are founded on the prosperity of the nation, and a policy which con- peIs the distress of the people will com- pei the depreciation of the bankers se- eurities.
 The common people. however, will get near the core of this currency ques- tion if they remember that to get a dol lar they must buy it with labor if work ingmen, with wheat and corn if farm CTS. with cloth or china if merchants The dollar which will exchange for twice as much of these commodities as did the dollar of 30 years ago is a dol lar that costs them dear.

to Maintain the Gold Standard.
 The delay in the publication of Mir. McKinley's letter of acceptance is ex. plained The country wondered why il took Mir. Mckinley so long to write 8 letter It did not know he was writing a book. The document is portentous, appalling in length. We have had tc read it in the line of duty, but we can not imagine anybody reading 1t without eompulsion.
 The bulk of Mir. McKinley's volume is devoted to the two subjects of money and tariff, the money question, under stringent orders from Hanna, being treated first, for which wrench to his feelings 8Ir. Mckinley has our deepest sympathy.
 The keynote of the whole production IS this one sentence, which would have been more effective if not another line had been added to 1t;
 Until international agreement is had t Is the plain duty of the United States 10 maintain the gold standard. y
 There is 10 possibility of beclouding the issue any longer. It has come hard. but at last Mir Mckinley has succeeded in shedding completely the old silver skin that he wore up to 1890, and he appears now in his new integument of gold, little tender yet to the touch. but a rich, unfecked yellow through out.

THE nomination of Palmer and Buckner by the seeding Democrats who style themselves the National Democratic party, will not injure Bryan. They may receive a few votes that would otherwise have gone to Mckinley, but the loyal Democrats who believe in organiza- ton and the supremacy of the ma jority, will vote for Bryan, just the same.
