Hon. Ellery p. Ingham of Philadelphia,
Washington Hastings of this city and
Hon. b. +. Hughes addressed an Opera
House mass meeting last night. Hugh
@. Browne was chairman, and Fred Il
Bach explained the manner of voting. Mr.,
Ingham spoke first. After reviewing the
situation he said:
"Mr. Bryan says that prices will in
crease. That is likely, for when "a silver
dollar drops in value to 80 cents you would,
Of course, have to pay 81 for an article for
which before you paid but one dollar.
Wages would not increase in proportion
to rise in prices, which will result. Wages
might in time increase, but slower than
the increase In prices. Wages are always
the last thing to rise and the first to fall
Why has not free silver benefited Mex
leo and China and Japan. Labor In this
country is not very well paid now, but 1t
is far above that Of the free silver coun
tries. 4 laborer in this country receives
81 so n week: in Russia, Sc As; in China,
70 cents; in Mexico, $40; in the United
States skilled labor receives from sl2 to
S24 week, while In Japau the highest
price paid is 81 49, What is needed Is pro
lection TO American industries and not
free silver.
Washington Hastings delivered his oft
repeated TRADE against j. Edward Adj
dicks and the Union Republican ticket.
Washington Is fighter from the word 20,
and he would not accept Addlck's hand to
save himself from drowning, II he should
be so unfortunate as to fall into river.
