We say to you that you have made
too limited in it's application the
definition of "business man." The
man who is employed for wages is
as much a business man as his en-
ployer. The attorney in country
town is as much a business man az
a corporation counsel in a great
metropolis. The merchant at the
crossroads store is as much bust
ness man as a merchant of New
York. The farmer who goes forth
in the sui INNER, and by application
of brain and muscle to the natural
resources of this country creates
wealth, ia as much business man
as the man who goes upon the
Board of Trade and bets upon the
price of grain, The miners who
20 a thousand feet into the earth,
or climb 1000 feet up on the cliffs,
and bring forth from their hiding
place the. precious metals to be
poured into the channels of trade
are as much business men as the
financial magnates who in back
room corner the money of the
world.-Bryan.

Wonder it never occurs to our

work two ways. The following

Pop.-"What do you republicans
mean by saying that if we have
free coinage of silver we will have
a deprecated money, a 50-cent dol
lar, etc?"
Rep 1--WE mean that the dollar
will buy only half as much of any,
thing then as it will now"
Pop.-I see! Then it will take
only half as much of our labor or
it's products to buy or get dollar
az it does now?"
Rep -er q, IL suppose So"
Pop.-"Then, I suppose, that in
stead of working for 1212 and Is
cents an hour I will get rs and 80
cents, and instead of $12 under your
scale paying for whole weeks
labor, as now, that sum will only
pay for half week; i'm other words,
all US fellows who work for wages
will get double our present pay"

I am not an entire stranger to
you. You will perhaps remember

1893 while opposing an organization

that sought to disrupt the railroad

the Wisconsin Central at Ashland.
wanted from you, at that time,
some information as to the num-
bers of the Catholic church, that
hospital, St. Paul, with the view of
showing these birds of prey, who
fatten on the spells of office, while
hiding under the protecting
shadows of the little Red School
House," the inconsistency of their
position, under the influences of
Chiniquea and others of like char
acter regarding Catholic institu-
tons.
You approved of my plan of
checking the schemes of these fell
lows at Spooner and wishing me
success handed me note addressed
to the mother Superior of St. Joseph's
Hospital requesting that she give
me such information.
I met this good woman, whose
beautiful face and gentle ways told
of the purity of soul that looked
from her frank and lustr0us eyes,
and as I paused on the threshold
of that institution, where she and
her kind minister to the suffering
Catholic and Protestant alike, to
say goodby, shall never forget the
words she uttered so earnestly,
"God bless you, shall pray for
your success"
That success came and with it the
pleasure of knowing that with my
brothers of the B. Of L. F. were in
strumental in holding the harmoni-
Gus relations of our members, and
in fact the members of other or
carnations intact. What you
learned of me then may give you
confidence in what 1 tell you now
and may lead to an investigation
that will bring relief to the firemen
on these ships from under the do
main of Chief Bully, engineer
Walker and his underlings.
I cannot appeal directly to Mr..
Hill with any hope of hearing,
because I am one of those who fol-
lowed Eugene V. Debs in '94 and
you know what that means to Hill

not enough to condemn me in his
eyes, the fact that am now follow

fact that they are not organized

that the section men on the Great
