dollar, he says, that has brought down
all this alleged calamity upon us.
Nobody but the mine owner would be
benefited if silver should go up from
Us TO 10 cents per ounce. and we can
hardly suppose that Mr.. Bryan is run
ming this silver crusade for the sole and
exclusive benefit of Il handful of million
aire mine 0wners.
His whole argument is for cheaper
dollars if it has any sense or point at all.
lie entices farmers to join in the cru.
SADIE by suggesting that they can pay
their debts easier with cheap dollars
lie is like the unjust steward who said
to the debtor who owed his lord Il hun
dred measures of oil, take thy bill anG
sit down quickly and write fifty"
lie tells the wage-earners that it would
be a good thing for them to get theil
pay in cheaper dollars and that in somC
roundabout way cheaper dollars would
give them steadier employment.
lie tells the holders of insurance poll
cies that it would be q blessed thing fol
them to have their losses paid in cheaper
dollars, because the companies would
lose more than they (the p~olicyholders
would, the aggregate of premiums ex
ceeding the aggregate of losses, and tn,
premiums being paid in cheaper dollars
lie tells the depositors in saving,
banks that it would be a nice thing fOI
them to draw out cheaper dollars thai
they put in because if they don't the,
may not be able to draw out anything
or they may find it necessary to draw
out all their money to meet living ex
penses.
BY such puerilities he seeks to Undue
people to swallow the free silver pill.
But we observe one strange oversight
Mr.. Brytn did not explain how cheape
dollars would benefit pensioners. ii,
might have told them that they coul,
more than make up their loss by dead
beating their landlords and butchers ant
grocers. But he lost his opportunity
Perhaps he will attend to that in hi
formal letter"
When it comes to that he may thinl
it best to make it a little clearer, il HI
can, how workingmen, policy holders, de
positors in savings banks and investors
In building and loan associations would
be benefited by getting their pay in dol
lars worth anywhere from 10 to so pei
cent. less than the dollars they are now
getting, or the dollars they deposited, in
vested or paid in premiums.
There is ground remaining TO be GOV.

informal speech was two hours long

who Control silver Mines?

Does Wall street own or control any Of
all the silver mines OF this country? II so.
what Is her object In being so still about
It'll. j., Dresden, Kan.
You seem to think Wall street is a
woman. We doubt If the majority of
the Populists who talk SO glibly about
oval street know what It is. The
United States subtreasury in New York
Is on Wall street: SO are a number of
banks and brokers' Offices. When prop
erly used "Wall street. is simply a gem
eral name for the dealers in New York
In stocks. bonds and other securities.
The silver mines are owned by cor
porations, and their stock is dealt in by
New York brokers, the same as other
stocks. "Wall street. is not keeping
still about it. The fellows who are
keeping still are the great silver barons,
who are pushing free coinage, and spend
ing money like water to make 1t win.
They don't want the voters to know
that free coinage at 10 to / would, by
putting the country on a silver basis,
make the value OF the dollar depend
on the market price of silver bullion,
which they, by speculation, could run
ur or down, and really put the entire
money If the country at their mercy

Japan and Mexico.

III silver is such an abominable curse
why are Japan and Mexico booming witi
prosperityy'-J. X, Amber. Mich.
No one says that silver Is nm
"'abominable curse" The project of 90.
ing to the silver standard Is one which
would bring on m era of panic md
financial disaster; but to saw This
project is bad is not 10 say silver IL n
curse" Try to apply reason TO the
subject. not prejudice and emotion. The
question is a plain one of business and
only common sense Is needed TO settle n
rightly.
You say Japan and Mexico are "boom.
ing with prosperity" How do Won
know this? Prosperity Is an extremely
relative term. In both countries The
wages of the working class are SO low
that M American w%orkingman would
deem them starvation wages. He could
not live. Mexico is far more prosperou,
than she has been for many years. but
It is because, under President Diaz
there has been peace. The country ha,
not been the scene Of chronic revolution
as 1t was up to a few years ago. Wages
are very low, and manufacturing Il
profitable. Japan is just adopting the
use of machinery In manufactures. and
is yet far behind us In everything

Questions for wagc.Earncrs.

History teaches that in all cages where
the cost Of living has suddenly increased
as a result Of deprecated money wages
to such conditions. Does anybody be-
lieve that with 53-cent dollars as the
sole money of redemption the wages Of
the $4,000 railway employees would be
doubled? Would the salaries of the
100000 school teachers be doubled :?
Would the wages of the 6.000,000 wom-

MAYOR PrNGREE's PROGRAMME.

During the term OF Office as mayor OF
Detroit. Governor-elecI Pingree, OF Mich
egan, was a noteworthy figure IN this
country on account of the various schemes
he set on foot and the reforms he affected
and tried 10 affect In the broader field OF
acton which he will have for the next two
years his course will be followed with
more interest than that OF any governor
in uhe Union.
The one particular scheme which
brought Mr.. P.ngree his greatest amount
OF pubic notice was his plan to permit the
poor to cultivate the vacant land adjacent
to the city or within its borders, a scheme
which proved gratifying success not
alone In Detroit but In other cities where
carried out.
An intimate friend Of Mr.. Pingree has
outlined some OF the reforms which the
governor-eIeci VIII eneeavor TO put in
practice during his term, as follows:
/. Doing away. as far as possible. with
conventions for local officers, and giving
the people themselves direct vote in pri-
mary elections for the nomination Of can
d.dates.
2. Two-cent fares on al the railroads Of
the lower peninsula
g. Taxation OF railroad property the
same as other property.
l. The application OF the principles of tho
Interstate commerce law TO commerce
within the state, 10 secure 10 farmers and
shippers the advantage OF the competition
in places not having several knes Of rail-
road.
5. Submit TO popular vote the granting
Of street railroad and other quasi-puolic
franchises as a cneck upon the corruption
OF aldermen and other city officials.
6. The suppression OF trusts and monop-
cles as far as the state can go In that d.
reet.on.
Z Laws against over-capftsfzation OF
corporations and swtndles committed by
promoters.
8 Laws against the coercion OF voters.
and particularly to prevent corporations
of a public character. like railroads and
banks, exe-ting undue Influence in cleo
ions.
These reforms are all of a nature re-
qu.rtng Affirmative legislation. and It
would seem that the governors power TO
bring them about will be confined alto
esther TO bringing the matters 10 the at
tentton OF the legislature and requesting
action. But Mr.. Pingree's particular forte
Is IN forcing legislation through a body
hostile 70 him. He has succeeded In doing
this several times while mayor OF Detroit.
because he had pubic sentiment behind
him Whether pubic sentiment Will
equally indorse all OF his present schemes
remains 20 be seen. There Is this TO be
said sn their favor; There are none Of
then revolutionary. several have already
been advocated for considerable tine. and
al are in the direction OF genuine reform.
