The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-08-01

An approaching measure of
value manifests itself by an ap-
parent depreciation in the value
Of things measured. If labor,
the creator of value, be taken as
the standard, there has been no
depreciation in silver bullion and
very little in products. If the
foot measure were doubled and
the inch left as it is, instead of
saying the ratio of inches to feet
was II to 1, as now, we would
have to say it was "a to 1.
Could one truly say then that
the inch had been shortened, that
is, it's length deprecated? Even
the mendacity of the gold idola-
tor would not be equal to such
a plain prevarication. Yet, de-
pending on the fog with which
they have enveloped the fnan-
cial question to shield them fr om
exposure, the sound moneyites
in teaching thatit is silver which
has shrunk in value, are guilty
of that very falsehood.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-08-01
The Ratification Meeting.

The meeting which was held
last week to ratify the nominal
ton of Page Morris, the republi-
can nominee for member of Con-
gress in this district, was not a
demonstration that would indi-
cate that any very great number
of people were greatly overjoyed
with the choice of the St. Cloud
convention. The procession
which was made up of two brass
bands and drum corps in prin-
ciple, marched from the Spalding
hotel to Second avenue east on
Superior street and back to the
rear of the Palladio building,
where the meeting was held,
which was a tame affair so far as
the republican enthusers were
concerned. Those in line were
principally ofceholders, Office
seekers, ward heelers and pro-
tessional politicians, while
number of old republican war
horses joined in the festivities
and tried to make the occasion
jubilant. The entire absence of
the laboring classes was very
conspicuous.
An immense platform was
reared and bunting of various
co1ors was displayed in hopes of
inspiring the multitude on to
battle. Judge Morris, of course,
was the principal orator of the
occasion and he was supposed to
tell the unenlightened something
about the iniquities of the free
silver movement. He dwelt on
the pastgood record of his party,
the wrongs the democratic party
had worked on the country, and
more particularly did he con-
denim the course Congressman
Towne had taken during his brief
career as a servant of the people.
He made it very clear that he
was ready to accept Mr.. Towne's
shoes and as clearly demon
strated the fact that he knew
nothing about the financial ques-
ton; it took him something
over an hour to tell his tale of
woe; he certainly convinced his
hearers that he wanted their
votes and wanted them bad,
and worked himself up to a
pitch where he believed he was
delivering an address to null
titude of people who were look
ing to him as a saviour.
There was a large number of
To.,o mon r,@-ocar,+ q md thew o.

but on the question of demo-
cratic sincerity. AS often as
democracy won that often it's
leaders, hypnotized by the SER
pent of Clevelandism, betrayed
every campaign pledge, violat-
ed every instinct of patriotism,
and depended for continuance
in power on outrages without
conscience against the purity
of the ballot. And as the party
is still dominated by many who
were accessories to these be-
trayals of public trust, so newly
repented from for the populists
of the south to have yielded
without guarantee, would
have forfeited their claims to
self respect. A union against
plutucracy is assured if their
halfway step is met by the
democrats. And in the con-
cessions made everywhere for
this union no men have been
more magnanimous than the
southern populists in thus
extending the right hand of
brotherhood to those who have
been their bitter and unfair
antagonists.
The character of their candi-
date is a guarantee of good
faith. Tom Watson is a man,
of brains, courage and patriot
ism.> Broad as the American
constitution, a fighter who
never quits, he is as good q rep
resentative of the new south
with it's liberal, progressive,
humanitarian instincts, as
Bryan of the west with his in
domitable will, energy and
radical ideas of liberty and
brotherhood.

BRYAN and Watson.


the constitution the west and
south are natural allies. What
more natural then, that in
choosing standard bearers for
a union against plutocracy,
both sections should be repre-
scented? Both agricultural re-
gions, both exporters to the
same market, both competitors
with the silver using countries,
both Disseminated against by
a tariff policy especially ar
ranged to promote monopolistic
combinations, and both reduced
to tributary provinces of an
arrogant, purse-proud, donin-
eering capitalism, to men of
comprehension, the stupidity
that has kept them in opposing
array has been an ever-grOwing
wonder.
That the Chicago convention
did not put a southern man on
the ticket with Bryan is one of
the inexplicable anomalies OF
politics. Democrats either
feared the mountebanks who
are still fighting the war; or
else, so long bullied by Reed,
humbugged by Cleveland, and
betrayed by Carlisle and Hoke
Smith, they were unable to
Danish utterly the 80 years
habit of cringing to the eastern
money bugs and stand up and
breathe a full inspiration of
liberty on the first day of their
emancipation.
There are no doubts that MIR.
Sewell is an excellent gentle
man. If there were, the gold
bugs abuse would be certifi-
cate of character sufficient to
dissipate them. But his noni
nation was not good politics. If
