spirits of WAR and PEACE, what is to
happen in the FAR EAST. what is to
be the STATE OF EUROPE twelve
months hence what NEW MARNEI.S
OF SCIENCE are to be revealed. or
what are to be the ACHIEVEMENTS

this.

Begging TO be BamboozIed.

The recent announcement that the
free silver promoters are organizing d
movement among the wage workers is
one we'll calculated to excite the de-
rision Of every individual who works
for stated salary or wages. 1t would
do so were it not beyond the need of
demonstra ton that very many people
rather be buncoed than be enlightened.
These promoters are to tell the wage
workers that more money is needed in
circulation They will. however, omit
to tell them how they are to obtain
any greater share of it than they do
now They VIII also refrain from tell
Teller tried to enlist the manufac-
turers in the free silver cause on the
ground that they could the better
complete with those countries where
the wage workers get so little that
self respecting American could not eX-
ist upon it, Does not every person
getting a salary know that if an
amount of silver worth but fifty cents
be made the standard dollar of this
country it will purchase but half of
what a dollar of today on the gold
basis will buy? Does any person sup
pose that under silver monometallism
which must come with free coinage,
that his wages must not be doubled in
order to get as much from his weeks
work as now? And uoes any intelli-
gent person, knowing how difficult it
always is to get even slight rise in
wages, suppose that his salary would
be doubled Immediately that free silver
coinage was adopted? These facts are
self evident to every thinking person
who gives the subject a little careful
attention, and yet this free silver propa
ganda will catch many of them. The
tale of the marvellous. the description
of a universal panacea always catch
the fancy. How many of us there are
who act as if begging to be BAN
boozled.
