syndicate, which only three months

union in the newspaper offices of
Minneapolis and st, Paul, and did

editorials to show what a bonanza
the "present gold standard" is to
workingmen. When the Tribune,

to make horse laugh. The pic

THE references made to Mexico
by the single gold standard people
are absolutely ridiculous to every
man of intelligence. In the first
place Mexico is now more prosper
GUS than ever before, but if such
were not the case it would argue
nothing against free coinage. Ifthe
arguments made about Mexico by
the single standard people are on
titled to consideration, why is it
not an answer complete to say:
"You single gold standard people
are trying to reduce the laboring
men of the United States to the
condition of the Egyptian fellah,
who in the gold standard country
works for five cents day, or to
the condition Of the Turk, who in
his gold standard country works
for few coppers day, or to the
condition Of the Spaniard, who in
that gold standard country receives
on an average for twelve hours,
twenty cents, or to the condition
of the Portuguese, who In that gold
standard country receives for
days work of twelve hours, seven
teen cents per day. Portugal ad-
opted the gold standard in 1853,
and since that time her national
debt has increased 100 per cent,
her per cent gold bonds are now
selling in London at 26!, while
Mexico silver bonds are selling at
964.
Armour offered fifteen cents
worth of meat and n Mexican dol
lar for an American silver dollar.
A short grass butcher goes him
