their countrymen in the following dec

A WARNING FROM WEBSTER.

From Daniel Webster's speech In
New York, March Is. 1897: He who
hampers with the currency robs labor
of its bread. He panders indeed to
greedy capital, which is keen-sighted
and may shift for itself, but he beggars
labor. which is honest u%nsuspecting
and too busy with the present to calcu-
late for the future. The prosperity of
the working classes lives, moves and
has its being in established credit and a
steady medium of payment. All sudden
changes destroy it.
Honest industry never comes in for
any part of the spoils in that scramble
which takes place when the currency of
a country is disordered. Did wild
schemes and projects aver benefit the
Industrious? Did violent fluctuations
ever do good to him who depends on
his daily labor for his daily bread? Ger
tainly eve All these things may

the rashness or daring speculation, but
they can bring nothing but injury and

TRAGIC

Chicago Times-Herald: A portion of
the speech made by Goveror Altgeld in
opening the campaign in this state is
attracting attention. 1t is this:
From 1862 to 1866 we had neither
gold nor silver in circulation In this
country. Our money consisted Of treas
ury notes issued by the government and
of national bank notes, and according
to the treasury tables we had during
that time altogether $1,542, OOO, 900 Of
paper money in circulation. 1t is true
gold was at a premium. Sometimes it
took $3.50 Of paper to get 81 of gold, but
the people did not need gold, and the
most prosperous years that this republic
has ever seen were those years. Many
of you recall them distinctly. Farmers
%prospered as they never had before.
The merchants and the bankers pros
pered and the manufactures were run-
ming to their fullest capacity.
1t is no strange that this utterance
should attract attention. Prosperity?
Those were four of the most terrible
years that the history Of the United
States contains. Truly many Of you
recall them distinctly" There was
scarcely a home in the north or the
south. in the east or the west, that had
not given up something to the nation
more precious than money or merchan-
disc, and in too many cases nothing but |
a grave remained to record that sacri-
fee when those years were ended. Only
a man who never saw the mother part
with the son, the wife with the hus-
band. the daughter with the father.
could speak Of those years of tragedy
the most prosperous years that this
republic has ever seem" The epitaph
Of that prosperity may be read in part
today. only in a little part, on a ma
TONS pension roll. In the southern
no less than in the northern this
de%liverance by Governor Altgeld win
produce a profund shock.

THINGS MIGHT BE WORSE.

New York World: 1t is a frequent
excuse of unthinking men for leaning
toward free silver that things can't be
worse than they now are"
This Is a mistake. Matters can be
very much worse, especially for the
workingmen.
l.. They would be worse II wages
were paid in a 53-cent dollar, or in a
dollar worth less than 100 cents. How
ever it may be with mine owners and
mortgage debtors. men whose capital
is their labor are not interested in hav-
ing the purchasing power of their dol
lar" diminished.
2. Things would be made worse for
the 1,732,3S2 savings bank depositors in
this state alone II their Sis. 032, 1899 Of
savings were made payable in depreci-
ated dollars.
8. Things would be worse for the
nearly 1000, 900 pensioners If their
monthly stipend we're to be paid in So
cent dollars.
4. Things would be worse for all the
millions Of beneficiaries of stock, mu-
tual and cooperative insurance com,
panies, and all the 1.745,725 sharehold-
ers in building and loan associations, If
payment were to be made them in
money less good than the best.
s. Things would be worse for every
body in case Of a panic caused by the
prospect Of a silver basis.
Things have been much worse than
many in the great strike summer of
1892. They were worse during the free
bread distribution in 1893. Poor O n
never yet bettered bad times.
