WAGES SINCE THE "CRIME."
Statistics Showing the Increase +
Wages Since 1879.

statistics Showing the Increase in
Wages Since 1879.
The country resumed specie pay
ments upon a gold basis on Jan. 1,
1879, and it has ever since maintained
them. We appeal to the individual ex-
perience of our readers to decide
whether, since 1879, wages and salar-
les have not risen. and whether it is
any harder to get them paid now than
it was then. Speaking for the Sun, we
assert with pleasure that we are now
paying higher wages and higher sal
aries than we We're in 1879, and are
employing more men. AS to other en-
story.
According to the census of 1880, the
year after the gold standard had be-
come supreme, the number of employees
in manufacturing establishments that
year was 2,732, 500, and the aggregated
wages paid them was $947 ,953, 795, or
an average of 1924 each. In 1890 the
number of employees was ATE, 622.
their aggregate earning were $2,2S3.-
216,529, and the average earned by
each was $4SS. Here was an increase
of nearly one-half under a standard
which Mr.. Bryan says both lessons
the amount and threatens the perma-
hence" of the rewards of labor.
Since the census of 1890, a commit
tee of the senate of the United States
of which Senator Aldrich was chair
man, reported in 1894 upon the subject
of wages and prices, that in twenty
one selected Industries wages We're in
money 40 per cent higher in 1880 than
they were in 1860, and 60 per cent
higher in 1891 than they We're in 1860.
while the prices of staple articles had
fallen between 1880 and 1890 in some
instances one-third.-New York Sun.

Quantity, Not Quality.

Candidate Bryan has great deal to
say nowadays about the quantity" Of
money in circulation. Never in the his
tory of the world has the quantity Of
money had less to do with its value or
purchasing power than at present.
; During the war; when both gold and
silver were driven out of circulation,
"shin-plasters," stamps and other
forms Of paper money took their place.
To-day the use of credits is almost uni
versally employed in the settlement of
accounts. Not less than 90 per cent
of business transactions are adjusted
in this way From this single fact
may be cleaned how little sense there
is in the Bryanite babble about "cor-
nering gold"
1t is not quantity, but quality, of
money that counts. During the last
eighteen years the quantity of gold
money in the United States has nearly
doubled, and during this era the coun-
try reached the climax of prosperity

Seesaw Money.

The Mexican dollar wabbles with sill
yer. The United States dollar stands
solid by gold. Measured in gold and
maintained at parity with gold, it's
value remains. Within three years the
Mexican dollar has been as high as 70
cents. and it has been as low as 4S
cents. Its value rises and falls with
the demand for silver, and this varies
with the trade in silk and the trade in
tea, with the exchange on India and
the payment Of war indemnities by
China and Japan. and all the world of
trade and speculation. Within the
year it has been as high as 60 cents,
and has dropped to its present price.
This is the kind Of seesaw money
the United States is asked to adopt.
Up and down. Now high and now
low. Never good as a gold dollar, and
never maintaining any certain ratio
with it. Labor receives in this coun-
try in wages in a year $2,OOO,OOOO 900.
If these wages had been paid in sill
yer this year the loss in the price of
silver in the past six months would
have cut the value of these wages
down by $1OOOOO,OOO, a tax on labor
one-fifth as large as that of the cost of
the federal government for a year

A Step Toward Fiat Money.

II will ask you to remember the
fundamental facts in this controversy.
1t is really a fight for honest money
and honest currency against the de-
basement of the currency and the i'm
pairment Of credit. Free silver is but
step toward fiat money. At bottom
the Bryanites are hostile to the men
who save, to the men who put their
money in the savings banks. who are
investors in any form OF productive
capital, whether bonds or real estate
or crossroads stores. Every dema-
gogue in the Land. every man who
hates with venomOus hatred the we'll
TODD because they are well-to-dO, the
thrifty because they are thrifty and
have worked anI saved. are arTayed
against us.
But free silver is not the worst thing
in the Chicago platform. The platform
contains an attack on the supreme
court, and therefore upon the main de-
pendence of our liberties. 1t contains
a demand that the laws shall not be
enforced in certain contingencies. This
means free riot, and it is fitting that
with the demand for free silver should
go the demand for free riots. The men
who are ready to strike down the cur
rency Of the country are ready to strike
down at the same time that safeguard
of our liberties which we have received
from our fOrefatherS in the cOnStitu-
tiOn-the supreme cOurt.-TheOdOre
Roosevelt to the Commercial Travellers

What Free Silver Would Do

sFree silver would not mean that
silver dollars were to be freely had
without cost or labor 1t would mean
the free use of the minis of the United
States for the few who are owners of
silver bullion, but would make silver
coin no freer to the many who are en-
gagged in other enterprises. 1t means
the debasement of our currency to the
amount of the difference between the
commercial and coin value of the sill
yer dollar, which is ever changing,
and the effect would be to reduce prop
erty values, entail untold financial loss,
destroy confidence, impair the obliga-
tons of existing contracts, further inn
poverish the laborers and producers Of
the country, create a panic Of unparal-
leled severity, and infiict upon trade
and commerce a deadly blow. No one
suffers SO much from cheap money as
the farmers and laborers. They are
the first to feel its bad effects and the
last to recover from them. This has
been the uniform experience Of all
countries. "-McKinley' Letter of Ac-
ceptance.

The Price of Bryan's Triumph.
And at what price will this ultimat

And at what price will this ultimate
result be gained in the case of Mr..
Bryan's election? At the price Of the
most violent and destructive crisis on
record, such a crisis as can only be
brought on by sudden subversion of
the standard of values and of the
whole basis of credit. At the price Of
indefinite business paralysis and dis
tress. At the price of the ruthless
spOliatiOn of the savings accumulated
by the toiling masses. At the price of
robbing our war veterans Of half the
value of their pensions. At the price
Of greatly increasing the number Of IN
employed by discouraging enterprise,
and Of curtailing the value of the
wages Of those remaining at work. At
the price of the respect Of the world
for our intelligence and practical sense.
And worse, far worse than all this, at
the price of something that has never
been forfeited since this republic was
born-at the price of the greatest good
a nation can possess and for the pres
ervation of which it should shed ito
last drop of bloOd-at the price of our
national honor For this nation, SO

WHAT HARRISON SAYS.
Impossible to Maintain the Ratio
of lS to l.

Impossible to Maintain the Ratio
of 16 to I.
Ex-President Harrison put the i'm
possibility of restoring the old ratio
of 16 to between silver and gold by
the bare fat of the United States alone,
without support from the other COM
mercial nations, very forcibly in his
speech the other night. He said that
the government could fix it's money
unit and declare any coinage ratio it
chooses to do, ''but it cannot say and
enforce it's decree, if you should call
out the regular army and navy, and
muster all our great modern ships, and
add the militia, and put William j.
Bryan in command Of them-it cannot
enforce the decree that 16 ounces of
silver are the equivalent of 1 ounce of
gold"
The ratio of 16 to 1 represented the
difference of the commercial value of
gold and silver at period when sill
yer bullion was worth not less than
$1.29 per ounce, and when coinage de-
mand existed in every civilized nation.
CllNCl was lueu WOI III Ill luS
market just what it would bring at all
the European Enthusiastically so. But
to-day this universal mint demand no
longer exists. Silver, to that extent,
is no longer in use. The result is that
silver bullion is freely offered at SO
cents per ounce. and the supply vastly
exceeds the demand
In the face of this condition it is
proposed by the Bryan metallists to
open our minis to free coinage Of sill

mere stamp of the mint, the value of

worlds markets is to-day commerce.
ally worth only 80 cents.
We are asked to do alone what all
the other nations of the earth that are
in the same class have ceased to do.
If our forefathers, and if other nations
ever since coinage began, could not
disregard the differences in the COM
mercial values of silver and gold, how
can we? If 16 to 1 was a just ratio
when silver was $1.29 an ounce, and
when all countries kept their minis
freely open to silver, how can it be
now. when silver is only IS cents an
ounce and all minis are closed to it?-
