Mckinley's Letter.

Mr.. Bryan in speech at Niagra
Falls Friday, said
II the gold standard is good why
did not the Republican party pledge
itself to help keep gold standard :?
But no, it pledged itself TO get rid of
the gold standard just as soon as
other nations will help us. That is
not my language. That is the language
OF the Republican platform and that
is the construction placed upon it by
the candidate who runs upon it in his
acceptance. He says in his letter that
the American people cannot enter
upon bimetallism without the concur
rent action of other nations. Does he
say we shall maintain gold standard
for one year No. For four years
No. But the conclusion is that we
must maintain it forever if other
nations say we must. applause. J

A Welcome for Silver.

Judge the great, illustrated Repub-
lican weekly. is now ridiculing the
free coinage of silver" Read the fol-
lowing and see what Judge thought
about silver in its issue of September
9th, 1890:
As law recognized the silver as the
standard Of value, as law again
acknowledged gold as the standard, so
law again to-day, by the passing of the
Silver bill by the Congress of 1890,
establishes aud recognizes silver on a
parity with gold. The beneiicent re-
suits of this national enactment can
not well at present be measured
Silver is no longe. an exile, but has
returned To the society from which il
was driven It's old Purchasing power
has been resumed, and hundreds of
millions are added to our resources.
England, which heretofore used one
dollars worth of gold to buy dollar
and twenty cents Of silver, paying it
out with 20 per cent. profit to
Hindoostan, China and the silver
receiving nations Of the world, will
now have to pay dollar for dollar
This raises, or will raise, the value of
all the products of labor. The farmer
will feel it in the increased price of
his crops, and the manufacturer in the
enhanced value of his wares. The
Republican party, reieeming its prom
i,es with one hand, lifts into the light
of the silver sheen the downcast face
Of the tiler of the soil, and casts the
same cherry simmer on all the labor
Of the land. j. A.

Tells His Experience.
A Baltimore Workingman Tells
About Silver and Wages.

|TOHN w. WILLIAMS. an old
~ soldier and who is prominent in
Baltimore labor circles was induced
TO say few words at meeting Of
labor association in Baltimore last
Friday night. Mr. Williams believes
that the free coinage of silver will
give us good times again, and gives
reason for his belief
Ascending the platform, he began
by stating that he would relate his
personal experience Of money, AMI of
the effect the various finarcial policies
had upon the wages of the working
man he said:
"In 1867 and 1868 | was employed
in Lower Canada in the trade at which
| have always worked, glass blowing.
In those years silver was abundant in
Canada, and the wages of the work
ingman were better than at any other
time in the history of the country.
The man who started the glass works
in which | was employed was a mill
ionaire, and he assured me personally
that he had started three or four other
industries, ia addition to that, just in
order to get the large amount of sill
of his hands. He said it was so cum
bersome TO hoard he was actually
compelled to put it in circulation.
That often struck me since as a good
argument to advance against the logic
some of our financial experts, who are
all the time parting about the clumsi-
ness Of silver imagine il may be
good thing that il is so, it ii becomes
announcement to hoard, as my million
aire employer said.

wages ever earned in II, - and

SILVER WILL WIN !.
So Says an Old Baltimore Poll
tician. How the Farmers
Will Vote.

Il ii. Rowlenson, who, clear up to
~. the time OF Coy. Browns evac.
ua,ion of the chief magistracy of Mary
land, was his political agent, made a
prediction on the election the other
night at the Alpha Club, which owing
to his wide experience deserves more
than passing notice.
Maryland" said Mr.. Rowlenson
twill give majority of $4,000 for
free silver. You remember | predict
ed the majority Frank Brown would
get for Governor, and | told you that
Lloyd Lowndes would get at least
10000 more votes than Hurst. Just
you wait and see if I'm not as close to
the result this year as l was last.
The active Republicans are for
Mckinley, of course, but there are
thousands of quiet Republicans who
propose to fool the Republican lead
ers in Maryland this fall just as the
quiet Democrats fooled the Democra-
tic leaders last year.
81 know of factory in which there
are 35 votes. Last year not three of
them were cast for Hurst. This fall
not more than three of them will vote
for Mckinley. There is depart
ment of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad in which there are 81 votes;
Of these Z were cast for Hurst, but
this year % Of them are for Bryan.
These are few samples OF what |
find. To my mind, they indicate
pretty plainly the tendency Of politics.
Bryan and Sewell will sweep Mary
land and they will sweep the nation
DIR. w. c. Sandrock, another at
tendant at the Alpha said
"a have been lifelong Republican,
but | am now for Bryan and Sewall
and free silver. My brother. who
lives in the Seventh ward, was named
as Republican election officer, but
he told the supervisors that he was
going to vote the Democratic ticket
and they excused him. Another
old Republican who is supporting
Bryan is Dr. John ii. Bolton. |
know of upward of 80 friends of mine
who voted for Lowndes last year who
will not support Mckinley on a gold
platform" l."
George f. Cocqurrl told a Herald
representative that at a Dunkard
church in Carroll County last Sunday
he had talked with l57 farmers who
we're Democrats aud Republicans, half
and half-all were farmers. One
hundred and fifty of them said, he
stated. that they will vote for free
silver.
Hiram Vrooman. the chairman of
the Populist State Central Committee,
was also persent at the Alpha meet
ing. Mr.. Vrooman said that the
Populist. will put no electoral ticket
in the field in Maryland, but will sup
port Bryan and Sewell.
