CAMPAIGN NOTES.

There is not so much fanaticism and
fooliShness in the country was sup
posed when Bryan captured the Chicago
and "cross of gold" harangue. The
observation-disclosures of the masses is still
to be counted upon as a safeguard against
Socialism and anarchy
Powderly hits the nail squarely on the
head when he tells the workingman that
his motto with regard to money should
be. 1.-The best is none too good for
me-"
A man is said to have injured his ankle
in a silver debate. That's what comes
of letting people with comparatively lit
tie strength juggle with these heavy ar
guments.

class to become farmers or producers OF
farm products.
The year 1892 shows record of mar
.eiouS ACTIVITY in the direction of Secur-
ing a larger division of labor by en-
pioylng more in our mechanical indus
tries. Our shops were filling up, new
demand at good prices in mechanical in
dustr1es, reciprocity was enlarging and
IN every way to be realizing for the
American farmer and artisan the full
value of that law of political economy
bor."
In 1892 the policy of protection was re-
versed and thus the laborers from the
sheer necessity to go out upon the lands
ana become producers instead of consum-
ers; 1t has been estimated that over a
million laborers have since the election of
IS92 when compelled to seek employ
ment in farming in order to obtain SUBJ
slstence for themselves and families;
many OF these have converted parcels
or ground near and around their homes
INTO corn and potato patches, thereby
enormously decreasing the demand for
the products of the regular farm. 1t
is easy to understand when the full effect
OF this shifting of labor from the mechan-
zeal industries to the farm is considered,
of farm products.
In view of these facts, all of which can
be verified in the past history of our
country, it is plain that our farmers are
directly interested in the employment of
labor and that their prosperity depends
largely upon whether that labor is en-
ployed as competitors in the production
OF farm products, or consumers en-
ployed in the mechanical industries of
the country We are certainly learning
from severe practical experience the
truth and value of the economic principle
all eady referred to that 1.-The greatest
creator of wealth is the greatest possible
that this division of labor may be
brought about by a wise policy of protec-
ton.
The effect of production upon the
products of the farm can be summed up
in few words. First, will it increase
or diminish the number engaged in pro-
ducing the products of the farm? Sec
ond, will it increase or diminish the num-
Der of consumers of farm products?
When you have answered these two
plain propositions you will be master of
the entire argument of protection and
free trade. SO far as the farmer is con-
cerned. You need be concerned in no
way about the free coinage of silver
as this cannot in any way possible in
crease or diminish the consumption of
your products; Its adoption, however,
would have the effect, Mr. Bryan
admits, of producing a panic and con-
tlnued depression in our mechanical in
dustries. forcing more labor to the farm
and thereby add to the number already
producing farm products.
Ihe employment of labor in our me-
chanical industries and not the free
coinage of silver is the thing that INFER
ests the farmer and is to secure for him
the prosperity he much desires.-H.

and the insurance money may thus be-
come the sole resource of the widow and
orphans Surely. a fund such as this
ought to be sacred against robbery
through depreciation of the value of the
money in which it is paid. Free silver,
on the basis of the present value of the
two metals. would rob every widow of
half the money value coming to her
from the insurance carried by her hus-
band.
And this would be stupendous rob-
berry indeed. The five Massachusetts
life insurance companies of which sta
ustlcS are given in the commissioner 8
report, paid 81, 637. 1888 in death claims
last year The grand total reported of
all life insurance companies doing bust
ness In this state was $50, S51 All. Can
the women, for whose benefit most of
TINS insurance money was paid, regard
with equanimity the loss of 10000
IN one year? There are millions of wom-
en- dependent upon the payment of such
policies. The Massachusetts companies
calling for $500. S74. 622 in case of death
The grand total, including all companies,
was 1,143,3oo policies: amounting to the
here in Massachusetts, there is $2S7 ,9iO,-
469 at stake in this way.
In addition to all these there are the
assessment life insurance companies.
with 39,329 certificates in force, repre-
senting 93,522,457; the fraternal bene-
hclary associations. with membership
OF SOD, 500, which paid out $19,063, 656
ior IO,Ooo ueath claims last year; the
casualty companies, which paid out
S3OO,3O1- All these, which are primari-
ly for the relief of widows and orphans
would have to pay in deprecated money
under free silver
But the money in which the premiums
on these policies have been paid is
money as good gold, worth 100 cents
on the dollar. In Massachusetts alone
last year $10,140,S67 was thus paid. Do
not the women want, and is it not their
right. TO receive from the insurance COM
panies as good money their husbands
paid for the insurance ?-Boston Post.

DEEDS NOT WORDS.
What Mckinley Did for Destitute Miners
Less than Two Years Ago.

Less than Two Years Ago.
While Candidate Bryan is going about1
the country telling fairy tales of what
he and his policy will do for the poor.
the question naturally arises: "What
has he ever done for the working poor?
Is it his habit nature to feel for and
try to relieve the suffering of those less
fortunate in life than himself? 2"
His most loyal supporters make no
claims that he has ever shown this feel
ing for his fellowman until now. In
fact. he has no record of ever having
zone out of his way to do anything for
what he calls the masses" On the
other hand, Maj. Mckinley, while not
nos;nr as one who -weepse for the
masses has record. he says nothing
obout the occurrence which gave the
world an insight into the heart of the
that he was the friend of those who are
moor and hungry, but a great multitude
raruamhers il. Such acts live in the
memory of those who '.earn their bread
nv the sweat of their face"
In spea king of Maj. Mckinley, the
Grand Rapids Herald says:
NO account of McKinley's connec-
nIete without some mention of the tire
less energy which he displayed in secur-
ing relief for the 1000 miners IN the
Hooking valley mining district who early
in 1895 were reported out of work and
destitute The news first came to the
O'Clock in the morning he had upon his
own responsibility dispatched to the af-
hicted district containing $1,000
worth of provisions. Later he made ap-
peais for assistance and finally distrib-
uted among the 2123 families in the
district clothing and provisions to the
amount of $50, 1o6-95.
