Free Wool and Free Silver.

During the many weary months after
tbe Wilson German tariff had given the
death blow to the wool industry free
trade journals assured their readers that
the blow would not be fatal. In time the
industry would revive. Considerable pru-
dence was manifested as to dates, but the
prediction was confident that in the
course of time the industry would re-
cover from IS paralysis. The Philadel-
mia Record was one of the most san
guine of these free traders. That journal
simply knew that its theories could not
be wrong. Free wool must and would
enable our manufacturers to recover the
home market for wooden goods and grad
ually get a good hold on the markets
of the world. In a recent issue the Rec
ord threw up the sponge. 1t admits that
free wool is not strong enough to carry
free silver. The confidence with which
it attributes the failure of its free wool
theory to some other persons free silver
theory would. if transferred to the money
market. revive business even in these free
trade times. Says the Record:
The distrust engendered by the sill
yer craze has checked sales of manu-
featured goods, increased the percent
age of idle mills and so narrowed thu
outlet and crippled the financial re-
sources of Eastern distributors of wool
that the latter have practically ceased
nurchases of the staple in the country
markets, and in many cases have re
fused to make even reduced cash adj
vances on consignments-
The silver craze did not materiaIizs
until free wool had had nearly three
years in which to show what 1T could
do. During all that time the wool in
dustry went from bad to worse Nov
the people are asked to believe that
free silver did all the mischief-St Jo-

upon the farmer mind. the truth.
the great truth. still remains that
the mind of the business man must origin
ate all the plans for the employment of
idle labor, and whether these industries
are little by little enlarged each year, en-
ploying more and more men, or whether
they are little by little narrowed each
year. employing less and less men. de-
ponds, not upon the judgment or the po-
litical views of the men employed, but
upon the judgment of the men who en-
plOy. When the farmers in the country
and the labOrers in the city suffer them
selves to be led into some great national
movement which the business mind be-
Heves is dangerous, then this business
mind. in order TO protect the interests over
which it presides, begins the process of
narrowing its operations to suit the new
conditions
farmer may believe in free coinage
and la. nring man may believe in free
coinage. but if the business mind of the
country on which both the farmer and
the laboring man is dependent is afraid of
free coinage. then the threat of free
coinage. instead of breathing new life in
to industry, strikes it with the paralysis
of death.
Every earnest thinking man in this
country at this time. whether he he a
farmer or a laborer, above all things.
ABOVE all party or personal preferences,
desires to see the Industries of the nation
revived. because labor can find employ
ment and farm produce find market in
no other way.
When all the arguments have been ex-
hausted on both sides. the whole cues
ton narrows into this proposition, that
activity in industry is dependent npon
the confidence the business men have in
the financial and tariff policy of the ma
tonal government. Farmers may have
coincidence in some untried and catchy
proposition. and the laboring man NAV
have confidence and even be enthusiast
tic. but If the mind of the business man
hesitates then industry languishes. A
thousand laboring men may stand ready
TO go to work in factory. And the
farmers may stand ready to provide
these labOring men with food. but if the
managers of the factory are afraid to
start It, then it will not start. 1t NAV
appear to these thousand laborers and
TO these farmers that the managers of
the factory are unrea sonable and that
they have more power in the nation than
they ought to have. but the truth will
remain forever. that mind. and not ma
Jorltles. is the controlling force upon
which the industry of the nation depends
and that the judgment of one trained
business mind is worth more to .,om-
munity than the judgment of many men
who work with their muscles on the
farm and in the factory

He is Mistaken

In his. speech at Springfield, O., on
Wednesday. Candidate Bryan spoke of
1.-The nations peasantry" There are
no peasants in this country, and the
man who attempts to make such a class
itication is unworthy the support of
the free American sovereigns. Every
man is prince and no man is a peas
ant. With the ballot in his hand, the
voter ranks with Vanderbilt. The rich
man of today may be the poor man to-
morrow. and be who is not endowed
with wealth at this moment may be a
millionaire before the close of dec
ade. This arraying of the people of
the United States into classes is the
most pernicious thing that has ever been
attempted in this country, and the
demagogues who are engaged in the IN
righteous attempt deserve the contempt
into which they are sure to fall.

Silver Dollars Are Legal Tender.

Many of the plain people" of the
United States have wondered what is
meant. when it is said that Congress in
1872 struck down one-half the money
in the country The figure is forcible
Int somewhat obscure. The Denver
News comes TO the rescue. 1t says: by
tho legislation of 1873 the mints were
not only closed to silver but the silver
money of the country was demonetizei:
if was deprived of its legal tender quail
~ Thus the silver money of the coun-
trv was struck down.
Tho News is in error. Section 81 of
4ha act of 1873 contained a proviso that
This act shall not be construed to affect
INV act done, right accrued, or penalty
any .o5 under former acts, but every
inch n right is saved" This Language
s ,resarved the legal tender quality of the
Silver dollar since the right to pay one .h 5
dabts in silver dollars was one OF the
;1rh+s accrued under former acts, which
nothing contained in the act was permit
ted to destroy.

Remember This.

When Bourke Cochran. in his recent
great speech in New York, uttered the
following sentence. he uttered sentence
which should be posted over the door of
every honest laboring man, whether Re-
publican or Democrat, in this country:
Il can take SO gold piece and defy all
the power of all the governments of this
earth to take cents value from it..
1 can go to the uttermost ends of the
earth, and wherever l present it, its
value will be unquestioned, unchallenged:
That gold dollar the honest masses Of
this country, without distinction of party
divisions. demand shall be paid the la
borer when he earns it, and no power
on earth shall cheat him out of the
sweat of his brow."-Galesburg Evening

years. depends not upon the political
Judgment of the men who are employed
in these machine shops, but upon the
business judgment of those who must fur
nish money to pay for this labor. And
this business judgment. looking always to
the financial policy of the government for
signs of business safety or of business
danger. is inspired with confidence or is
inspired with fear as it interprets the
business prosperity of the future by the
political conditions of the future. If this
business mind sees in the election of
Bryan and cheap money signs of future
stagnation and depression. then it is but
natural that it should keep the number of
men employed to the very least possible
limit. People who ride in the Burlington
trains along by the town of Havelock
near Lincoln where these machine shops
are located. can see the signs of business
depression and can interpret the doubt
that is in the mind of the directors of the
road. when they see the side tracks lined
with broken engines which the small
force of men employed are not able to
repair. If the labOring people of the East
were at work today there would be a
market in these. great centers of industry
in the East for Nebraska's food product
and then these great railroad systems
would require every engine and every car
which they own to he in repair and all
the wheels would be kept rolling night
and day carrying the great crops of Kan
saS. Nebraska and Iowa to the foOdcOn-
suming East. This condition would en-
ploy labor and give value to farm prod
ucts. The whole theory of Western sue
cess depends upon the activity of Eastern
industry and the activity of Eastern in
dustry depends upon the faith and conf
dcnce OF the Eastern business mind.
