classes selected by him; that is, pen

$4,000, all of whom will suffer j

land.
What he says is true Of one clas:
of pensioners. Pensioners may be
divided into three classes. The first
and We presume the largest class
consists of men who are honorable
industrious citlzens, who are sup
ported only in part by what they
obtain from pensions. They gel
their living chiefly by their industry
A second class, fewer in number
consists of those who, from age OF
infirmities. are unable to work arG
are dependent on their pensions and
aid from their friends. A third class
and by far the smallest, is made uK
of men who are too lazy to work
and spend most of their pension
money for beer and stronger drink
and beg for scanty living.
The first class will not be injured
but benefited by free coinage, &C.
cordiLg to the implied admission OF
the Senator. They will be injured in
this manner and to this extent. In
stead OF being able to purchase 20
tatoes for 10 cents a bushe!, it IS
probable they will be compelled to
pay at least 80 ceats, Wheat prob.
ably can not be purchased for less
than Is or so cents a bushel, instead
of 40 or SO, as at the present time.
Iu this way they will suffer loss.
But they will be manifoldly comper-
sated by increased prosperity in all
lines of work and trade. The second
and third will fare in the same man
ner.
But what a spectacle is here pre-

fight and vote against measure be

price Of some of the necessities of
life up to point where the produ

fair presentation Of facts, assure US
that in case of McKinley's election
we need not fear any rise in the price
