Rich and the Poor.

Here now comes up this thoroughly un-American question of the rich against the poor. Some criticism is already lev eled at this movement because those en- gagged in it are representatives of proper ty in their respective localities. It is characterized as the rich mans move- ment. Property is banding together to carry its ends, and those ends are iimi- cal to the wage-earner and the farmer. This simply is criminal nonsense. There is not the slightest warrant in reason for any such statement. The paramount is- sue of the campaign is business issue. It relates to the very life blood of kusi- ness-whether that blood shall be puri- ned and kept pure, or vitiated and i'm poverished. Surely that proposition reaches and interests everybody. And another point. What authority is there for the assumption that in moving in his own interests the business man is nov
 ing against the interests of other men ? under free government all interests are allied. The business man cannot prosper If the wage-earner and the farm CT do not. It is impossible. If the crops rail and the mines and factories are idle. so that the farmer and the wage-earner have no money, how can the merchant. or the banker, or the mapufa cturer thrive! Where is business to come from! On the other hand. if times are good and confidence prevails. all feel the benefits alike: Not all in equal degree,
 or course: That could not be. That never has been. That never will be. But uo ue extent of their stake in the game,
 when the winnings are large. the farmer una the wage-earner get their share along with the business man.-Washineton Star, hs'on

dollar, he says, that has brought down all this alleged calamity upon us.
 Nobody but the mine owner would be benefited if silver should go up from 6S to 129 cents per ounce and we can hardly suppose that Mir. Bryan is run ming this silver crusade for the sole and exclusive benefit of handful of million aire mine owners.
 His whole argument Is for cheaper dollars if it has any sense or point at all.
 He entices farmers to join in the cru sade by suggesting that they can pay their debts easier with cheap dollars. He is like the unjust steward who said to the debtor who owed his lord hun dred measures of oil, take thy bill and sit down quickly and write fifty"
 He tells the wage-earners that it would be good thing for them to get their pay in cheaper dollars and that in some roundabout way cheaper dollars would give them steadier employment.
 He tells the holders of insurance poli- cies that it would be blessed thing for them to have their losses paid in cheaper dollars, because the companies would lose more than they (the policyholders) would, the aggregate of premiums ex- ceeding the aggregate of losses, and the premiums being paid in cheaper dollars.
 He tells the depositors in saYings banks that It would be a nice thing for them to draw out cheaper dollars than they put in because if they don't they may not be able to draw out anything, or they may find it necessary to draw out all their money to meet living eX- penses.
 By such puerlities he seeks to induce people to swallow the free silver pill.
 But we observe one strange oversight. Mir. Bryan did not explain how cheaper dollars would benefit pensioners. He might have told them that they could more than make up their loss by dead beating their landlords and butchers and grocers. But he lost his opportunity. Perhaps he will attend to that in his formal letter."
 When it comes to that he may think it best to make it little clearer, if he can, how workingmen. policy holders, de- positors in savings banks and investors in building and loan associations would be benefited by getting their pay in dol lars worth anywhere from 10 to 30 per cent. less than the dollars they are now getting, or the dollars they deposited, in vested or paid in premiums.
 There is ground remaining to be cov- cred in that formal letter." though the informal speech was two hours long, Chicago Chronicle Dem.).

 "How about Mexican and India sill ver?" asked the Populst.

The world mined $209, 165. 900 worth of 5O-cent silver last year. This would come rushing in upon us. We would be the dumping ground of the world. We could not coin it, and when we stopped our guarantee all our coined silver would fall back from 16 to l to 32 to 1. We would have the 5O-cent dollars of China and Japan, with no gold in our treasury. and be the laughing stock of the world"
 "Well. who would be benefited by free coinage" asked the Populist.
 "Well, no one but the mine owners. There are 5000 of them. Their work men are paid in silver, paper or gold dollars worth 100 cents in gold. The mine owner is working for silver worth B cents. The farmer is getting nna mSapes cotton s1SS nsw w S f ee h ssr whfh could get no more for his produce nor no better money than he is getting. And, by and by, if we went on coining silver ad libitum, silver would go down like the old greenbacks in 1863. That went down to B cents on dollar, while gold stood still. You could buy wheat then for $2.5O in greenbacks or S5 cents in gold. You could buy farm in 1863 for $6O an acre in greenbacks or $20 in gold. Do you want that to occur again?'

Japan and Nfexico

of silver Is such an abominabIe curse why are Japan and Mexico booming with prosperityF-J K. Amber, Mich.
 :, No one says that silver is an "'abominablc curse" The project of ro- ing to the silver standard is one which would bring on an era of panic and financial disaster; but to say this project. is bad i> not to say silver is a "cnrse." Try to apply reason to tbe subject. not prejudice and emotion. Tho question is plain one of business and only common sense is needed to settle if rightly. ''
 You say Japan and Mexico are "boom. ing with prosperity" How do you know this? Prosperity is an extremely relative term. In both countries inc wages of the working class are So low that an American workingman wonld deem tLem starvation wages. He comld not live. Mexico is far more prosperons than she has been for many years, but it is because. under President Diaz. there has been peace. The country has not been the scene of chronic revolution. as it was up to few years ago. Wages are very low. and manufacturing ia profita ble.

THE WISE kANSANS.
How They Sought to Increase Their Wealth by Legislative
 Enactment.

F. A. Stillwell has prepared leafct purporting to give a history of certain events occurring near the close of the Nineteenth century. It was declared to be period of depression. during which it occurred to the wise men of Kansas that they could legislate themselves into wise men and said:
 A Kansas policy for Kansas is the need of the hour. Wheat is hard to raise, and the yield is light and uncer- tain: but we are great on corn. Make ye. therefore, law in accordance with which sovereign and august statute corn shall be put upon q par with wheat. They shall be interchangeable. and the price of corn shall be the same as the price of wheat.
 The wise men passed the law as the governor had advised and all the people of the state rejoiced, for their cribs were full of corn. They could hardly contain themselves till the governor had signed the bill which raised the price of Kansas corn from 15 cents to A cents a bushel. All the people now felt rich. They bought many luXuries and the most of them went int tdebt. Then the farmers from other states began hauling their corn to Kansas. It seemed as if the coun- try was all corn and it was all headed for Kansas. The people of Kansas took corn and gave up their wheat.
 The farmers from the other states thought Kansas people were queer, but they kept bringing them their corn. Corn came in and wheat went out.
 when the other states saw this vast accumula ton, the price of corn began to decline till it could be purchased any where except in Kansas for 10 cents a bushel. In Kansas the price was still 45 cents, which was the price of wheat, but there were no buyers. When the autumn came the Kansas people did not have any wheat for seed. Then they sent to the neighboring states and i'm plored farmers to exchange wheat at q parity with corn. But the farmers said: We will exchange one bushel of wheat for four and one-half bushels of eorn.' Our law" replied the Kansas people, puts corn and wheat at parity. They are equal, for our wise men said they should be-" And the farmers replied: Your wise men are asses; let them eat your corn.' So the Kansans went back home and all their people were in de- spair.
 Then the governor again assembled the wise men and said to them. Most consummate, picturesque and glittering goll darned fools. There is hut one bigger fool than yourselves. It is he who addresses you.
 "We thought we could bluff the ever lasting law of supply and demand with our statute. We thought we could leg islate value into thing and ma Ike our people rich by law. We thought we were patriotic. We were idiotic. Let us honestly acknowledge our as- sininity, repeal our fool law. get back into line with the other states and imag- inc no more that we are wiser than the whole world. Do this, and may we live long enough to know that the other states have ceased laughing at our folly and that our own state has ceased CUTS ing IFS for it."
 Then the wise men repealed the law, but it was many years before the peO- pie recovered from the effects of the corn scare.

"POor Mans Money"

Among the transparencies carried by the shouters for Bryan at Des Moines Friday evening were some bearing the words, "Silver is the poor mans money" "Note for the poor mans money and "A 200-cent dollar is dishonest dollar" Such sentences show the drift of the public mind and reveal only too plainly that with many people the silver ques- tion is one of prejudice rather than one of reason. What is the meaning of the phrase, "Silver is the poor mans mOn- ey?' We doubt very much if the man who carried that transparency could have given an intelligent answer. Under present conditions Il silver dollar of the United States will buy just as much at home or abroad as gold dollar. It makes no difference to the wOrkingman whether he receives his weekly wages in gold or silver coin. The amount of goods he can purchase is the same. Un- til the agitation of the silverites drove the gold of the country into hiding places workmen were often paid in gold and when this silver craze is squelched they will again receive gold as part of their wages.
 There is one way, however, in which silver can be said to be the poor mans money. In those countries where the coinage of silver is unrestricted the wage uIc A lSt of those countries is printed in another column this morning and the wages paid to skilled and unskilled laborers given. As was shown by the well-authenticate let ters from Mexico published in the Re publican on Friday and Saturday the price of the necessaries of life in these countries is double the price paid in the United States. Is this 'the poor mans money" that the wage-earners of the United States are to vote for? Are they willing to sink to the level of the Mexi- can peon or the coolie of India? If so the way to do it is to vote for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. If free coinage law such as is contemplated by the silverites be passed, one of two things must happen. Either the silver of the entire world must be lifted to parity with gold or the silver dollar of the United States must sink to the level of Mexico and other silver countries. In that case the wages of the working man will be cut in two and he will in deed have cause to talk of ''poor mans money"
 Why should not the laborer continue to be paid in good money ?-Cedar Rap ids Republican.
