A Bad Old Efumbur.

The Denver Republican calls for more
money as the cure-all for the peoples
woes. ''They must" it says, ego back
to the good old American policy of BIZ
metallism, under which the country en-
joyed such extraordinary prosperity
from 1902 until the complete demoneti-
zation of silver" Oh, those good old
days." when less than 100000 silver
dollars were coined in the 81 years
from 1892 to 1S73-less than in the first
six months of the present year-and
when no man ever saw a silver dollar
except as a curiosity! Never once in all
this time did the country have as much
money per capita as it now has. Never
once, except during the war, were
wages SO high and prices SO satisfactory
as in the - years following the resump-
ton of specie (golD payments in 1878.
The talk of "good old times is simply
bad old humbug.

THE slLvERiTE CATECHlsM.
In Which FREQ Coinage Theories ARC
Plainly Stated.

In Which FREQ Coinage Theories Arc
Plainly Stated.
What is money? Something made ouc
of nothing by government.
Is there any limit to the amount OF
money which government can make
Only the capacity of the printing
presses of the country.
What kind of money is the best!
That which has the least value.
What does cheap money mean!
Money that will buy very little wealth..
Why are some people poor? Because
the money they get in exchange Tor
their products or their labor will buy
large amount of goods.
How can the poor all be. made rlch!
BY stamping so cents worth OF silver
zone dollar" and thus decreasing the
purchasing power of money.
What is capitalist? \ Wicked sinner
who has worked hard and saved up q
little property.
What is patriot? A man who covets
his neighbours property aad wants to
get hold Of it by law.
What does ''repudiation" mean? It's
a simple scheme for readjusting the in
capabilities between the men who worked
and the men who have not.
What is the golden rule of the silver
ties? Do others as they would not do
you.
What are we to understand by sfhon-
esty" and good faith between men? %
That creditors are to be cheated out OF
ene-half of their property whenever the
debtors control congress.
Why not benefit debtors still more by
repudiating all the claims OF creditors?
That will come later. The public must
be educated into silverism by degrees.
What is creditor? A fiend in human
shape who loaned 100 cent-dollars and
doesn't want to be paid in dollars worth
so cents.
How will free silver help the farm
loans, paralysis of industry, stagnation
of commerce and idleness. of millions of
workers who now buy farm products.
How will the sixteen to one scheme
benefit the working classes? BY maxi
ing them pay twice as much for every
thing they buy, while giving them little
or no increase in wages. 1t will also
confscate half OF their savings bank
deposits.
What is a silver mine owner? A good,
kind, unselfish citizen, who doesn't
want higher prices of silver so that he
will get rich, but simply because he
loves his fellow man.
Does his love for the workers lead
him to pay more than market rates for
his labor? Not. much. Business and
sentiment are two different things. Be
sides he doesn't have to.
What is a sound currency? Dollars
with SO cents worth Of silver and so
cents worth of fat or paper dollars all
fiat.
T What is the chief duty of a good citi-
zen? To hate everybody who is indus
trious and thrifty, and to meekly swal-
low all the nostrums of the cheap money
office seekers.
How can the people be made prosper
Gus? BY setting class against class; dis
couraging the investment of capital;
contracting the currency by running
employers, driving out gold and over
! throwing our sound financial system

TOO LONG TO WAIT.

How long do the American people
want to wait for the return of prosper
ity? Candidate Bryan has admitted in
many of his speeches that the first eff
feet of the success of his free silver
campaign will be panic. But ne as
sures his hearers that he believes that
after the panic everything will be bet
ter for farmer and working man than
It is now. ''After the panicn is an in
definite phrase. What the American
people have right to ask before vot-
ing is that political parties contracting
to deliver good times shall ''name a
date While Bryan has fought shy
OF this, his fellow silverite, Senator
Teller, comes out boldly and candidly
as follows: = -,
Ii free silver should win this year I
would not anticipate an immediate re-
vlval OF good times. But inside of
twenty years we will certainly have es-
tabl1shed financial system that will
give universal prosperity to all those
who faithfully labor.
But won't the American people think
twenty years a long time towait?~ I'm
der the existing gold standard and the
Republican protective tariff we had
prosperity up to four years ago. If the
gold standard is maintained and wise
protective tariff restored, we shall
have prosperity again, beginning in a
measure with the Inauguration of
President Mckinley on the 4th of next
Misunderstanding Wisconsin.

VOTE THE REPUBLICAN,
TICKET.

The Republican party is the party
OF prosperity. Under it's administra-
ton this country was the most pros
porous under the sun. It reached the
helghth OF its prosperity under the
Mckinley law during Harrison's ad-
ministrathon. During the four years
of his administration, under a protec-
tive tariff law, over eleven hundred
factories were built. Under the Dem
ocratic, Wilson bill, instead of new
factories being built, the old ones were
closed down in whole or in part, and
the workingmen were thrown out Of
employment or had their wages cut
down.
A vote for Mckinley and Hobart
with..Republican Congressman and Re-
publican members of the Legislature to
elect Republican Senator means the
repassage of the Mckinley bill to keep
out the products OF the pauper tabor of
the world. It means that our mills
and factories will be started up, giving
employment to our working men in
stead of to the pauper labor of the
world.
1t also means the passage of the inn
migration restriction bill that passed
tie last Republicans House by 200 ma
jority only to be killed in the Senate
controlled by the Democrats and Pop
ulists. A vote for the Republican
ticket is vote for prosperity and
against hard times, it is vote for
steady employment at good wages,
payable in good honest money, worth
100 cents on the dollar every, time.
A vote for Bryan means 3 vote for
the worst panic we ever saw. It means
a vote not only to continue our present
hard times but to make them even
worse.
BRYAN not only stands for fifty cent
dollar but is the strongest free trader
ever nominated for President. He
was one of the leaders in the passage
Of the Wilson free trade bill and the.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1896-10-08

only fault he found with it was because
it did not go farther. The laboring
man who votes for Bryan is not only
voting to keep the factories and mills
closed but is voting to cut his already
small pay in two.
Four years of Democratic misrule
has nearly pauperized the wage-earn-
ers of the country and now they are
trying to complete the work by cutting
the purchasing value OF the little that
is left them in two.
Vote to protect your wages and your
homes. Vote to keep out the pauper
made goods and the paupers that made
them. A vote for the Republican
! ticket means vote for all Of this.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1896-10-08

The government pays about $780,
100000 a year to pensioners. The pay
ments last year were $141, 1895, 229.
Every one of these dollars was worth
100 cents and equal to dollar in gold.
If the policy of the Chicago platform
end party should be made effective by
legislation, every dollar thereafter re-
ceived by q pensioner would be worth
only So cents. It would be called dol
lar, but in the purchase of pension
er's supplies it would go only SO far as
SO cents go now. The buying power Of
the pensioners monthly allowance, like
that of the depositor's money, still to be
paid out of the savings bank, and the,
value Of policies to be paid by life in
surance companies, would be reduced
by nearly one-half.-N. Y. Times.

st. Paul Globe: If there shall be
a single laboring pan's vote cast for
free silver in November, it will be the
vote of a man who asks that the pur-
chasing power of his daily wage be di-
minished by an unknown amount. any
where up to so per cent, without Sc
curing to him any compromising adj
vantage. If this is nnwise for him, it
is certainly criminal for any others to
attempt to force it upon him.

Property and Industry.

Property is the fruit Of labor. Prop
erty is desirable, is a positive good in
the world. That some should be rich
shows that others may become rich, and
hence is encouragement to industry and

less pull down the house Of another, but
let him work diligently and build one
for himself, thus. by example, assuring
that his own shall be safe from violence
when it is built.-Abraham Lincoln.

Let the free trade doctor prescribe a
liberal dose Of free silver and all that
you will need after that will be a free
hearse. The man that could not give
you an ounce of prevention will have
to scratch pretty hard to find you
pound of cure. Free trade was an ex-
pertinent in a great country. with I'M
limited natural resources, and 10000
600 of inhabitants. 1t has proved a
disastrous experiment, and the men
who made it ought now to have the
grace to step down and out. But as
they won't, use your vote next fall and
put them out. Above all don't let
them put any more free stuff into you.
Nothing in this world is good that is
free. If it was, it wouldn't be free.
Even free cigars are poor things TO put
in your mouth and smoke before unsus-
pecting friends, who naturally think
that the garbage barrel is on fire.
Free dollars are infinitely worse to put
in your pocket and the worst of it is,
they will contaminate and render use
less all the good dollars you had there
before. It is like putting new wine in
to old bottles, begging Mr.. Bryan's
pardon for using the scriptures. They
will swell up and burst and we have
had enough bursting of late
