What 1t Means.

A vote for the republican party
is a vote for the permanently
of the gold standard, for the de-
basement of labor, for lower
wages, for continued and en-
forced idleness, for the surrender
of our foreign markets to our
silver competitors, for the per-
petuation or reputation of our
public and commercial indebted
ness, for the supremacy of money
in politics, for Mark Hanna as
president de facto, for govern
ment by injunction, for the e1e-
walton of the judiciary above the
legislative department in def
ance OF the constitution, and the
submission of our people with
out firing a shot to conquest by
a foreign p1utocracy. Will you
give it?
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-10-31

A vote for free silver is a vote
torrestoration of the 1873 prices
of our agriculture exports, for
doubling the purchasing power
of those engaged in farming and
stock raising, and a consequent
demand for goods that will keep
all our mills running on full time.

A gentleman of wide acquaint-
ance who reviewed Saturday
nights parade, says that a straw
vote, indication of the real senti-
ments OF the men in line, would
have resulted in a majority for
Bryan.

Modern VandalS.

Modern VandalS.
An approaching standard of
value robs the people of this
country of purchasing power to
the amount of five billion dol
lars per annum.
If the gold supporters got the
benefit of that vast sum as CON-
pensation for their abandon
ment OF character and reputa-
ton, we might respect them as
much, at least, as we do the
wolf: But the gold bug
is a chump. He is engaged in
the dirtiest business possible for
a human being to indulge in
robbing the weak and confding
by laws sustained through his
ballot and all for the benefit, not
of himself, but of a plutocracy
that esteems him not only cor
rupt, but subservient and ignor-
ant; and for the most part an
alien plutocracy--foreigners,b both
as to country and blood. Of
course, there are hosts of well
paid gold bug agents engaged
in the sound money campaign,
but 90 per cent of the republican
vote will be cast by men who
will not profit 81 by the gold
standard where they are losing
$40.
Now, who gets that five billion
dollars?
Well, low prices for our pro-
ducts take 81, 5OO,O0O,OO0.
Shylock gets 81, 6OO,00O,OOO
in interest.
The other $1,900,O0O,000 is a
dead loss to every body. 1t
represents the losses in produce
ton from enforced idleness aris-
ing out of insufficient supply of
money and consequent lack OF
purchasing power among the
people.
In other words, the benefciaries
of the gold standard to make
three billion out of the industries
of this country rob us of five bill
lion. two billion of which are
