silver when all that he has done was to urge
the repeal OF the act which one republican
president vetoed when congress passed i in
1875 and anotherre republican president urged
congress to repeal for foIr years before
Cleveland was inaugurated. Things were
made still worse in 1892 ny Introducing "bi-
me,allism" as device Of deception through
the committee on resolutions presided over
by on3ther politician OF the Ohio school,
Joseph 5. Foraker. This was Interpreted
by the sound monty men 10 mean the use of
silver as subsidiary coin and by tie silver

puts it:
''Dimetallism means the free access of

My thoughts when l was at the ruins
of Silchcster yesterday were that hundreds
of antiquarians all over the country would
have given gold to any one who should
have told them Of the great "find'' that
was there and then to be safely brought
to hand. A friend and myself strolled
over from AidermastOn to view the ruins
and as many of the finds" as were still
to be seen. Mr.. Davis, h. S. A., at pres
ont experimenting the operations, explain.
ed to us now, when digging aut an old
well, he made the lucky discovery of a
tunnel which conducted him to an an
ciOnt gate, the existence Of which Lad rot
been Lelore suspected. A windlass had
been fitted up over II we'll Is feeu deep, and
men were digging out pailfuls of Garth
which were being diligently hauled up
For two weeks the work ut this point had
been going en-, and within the last week
it had been discovered that this was an old
Roman tub well. The wood seemed sonie-
what iotten ns might be expected after
1000 years, 80 that the raising Of the tub
caused tine greatest anxiety. The tub had
been ingeniously fitted by Mr.. Davis with
two wooden shelves running all round it,
ono at the top ard tic other at the bot
tom, which served to protect it from
any strain during the preparation for
hoisting it ard also relieved the tub Of Its

No. 4 Of "Present Problems" pub
lished at l cent each at 81 Park
place, New York city, is unquestion-
ably the best pamphlet ON the wage
question for general distribution during
the present campaign. II is unanswer-
able, No intelligent workingman can
read it and continue to believe that free
coinage will raise his wages. He will
be sure that if free coinage gives MS
cheap money, as the farmers expect,
it will certainly reduce his actual
wages. A wage Garner may vote for
Bryan after reading this pamphlet, but
it will bo for other reasons than any ex-
peeted benefit to wages
Mr.. Warner studies the effect of
cheap money experiments in Japan.
China, India. Chile, British Honduras,
Mexico and in this country, and in CIV.
cry case he finds unmistakable evidence
shat cheap silver and paper moneys have
lowered wages. Wherever money has
been depreciating in value prices have
been rising, while wages have changed
not at all or have risen less rapidly than
prices, AS @ result the wage Garner is
constantly losing ground, though he
may not know why he has to work
harder to keep himself and family.
Consequently the manufacturers and
other employers of labor in silver stand.
ard countries are benefited by depre,
ciating currency They And in silver
money the sliokest possible scheme of
reducing wages without the consent or
knowledge Of their employees.
In Mexico, where the workingmen
are such chumps that they do not know
when the value of their dollars is de-
clning, the big employers can keep tho
country on the silver standard, but even
in such backward cQuutFies as Chile and |
British Honduras the wage earners
fQula not be imposed upon forever by /
silver and other cheap money. No class |
of citizens rejoiced more than the wage
earners when these countries, short
time ago, stopped "monkeYips" with |
silver and adopted the standard of the
civilized woFld-geld,
Mr.. Warner quotes numerous adinis-
sions from silverite authorities rs to the
effect Of cheap money ON wages. He
peneludes that ''if our wage carners be-
lieve they are getting too high wages,
and that this country is suffering in
all they have to do IS to
take lower wages If they prefer a
way, they can favor free
coinage Of silver, and they will get

further trouble on their part.

The free coinage Of silver as defined

it to any United States mint and re-
ceive for it 100 legal tender dollars. Il
means that the government shall coin.
free Of charge, i'll standard or legal ten
der silver dollars, all the silver bullion
that may be presented to it, and thus
pay premium of 48 per cent to every
holder Of silver bullion.
When it is remembered that the silver
producing interest embraces but an in
tinitesimal portion of the people of the
country as compared with those who
produce iron, coal, cotton, cottons,
woolens, wheat and other products Of
the farm, the monstrous injustice Of the
government paying to one petty class
Of producers nearly double the value Of
their products should make every honest
minded citizen recoil against it. In
short, free silver coinage means that
the government shall buy all the silver
bullion offered at nearly double its mar
ket value.
But tho pateTnalism Of the govern
ment toward the silver producers in
paying nearly double the market value
for all their product would be but
small portion of the appalling wrong
