And when you lose, and when the vast

your places at reduced wages, you will
have then received the benefit OF an .ob-

Of the gold standard and falling prices.
And then you will have plenty Of time
to study this question.
A few years later when prices have yet
further declined; when gold has yet fur

By the election of Mr.: Mckinley this
reduction in WAGES will be enforced by
all the power OF the military and the UNI
restricted use of that new and scientific
weapon of gold monopoly, government
by injunction. Congress will convene
upon the election of Mckinley in speci-
al session and increase the army; grant
new powers to the judiciary and carry
into national effect those methods sosuc-
cessfelly employed in private use by
Mark Hanna, Fl. c. Prick, of Homestead,
and H. G. Payne, OF Milwaukee.
The election of w. J. Bryan will de-
feat proposed reduction IN wages. The
triumph of free silver; the election of
congress opposed to- English monomet-
allism' with its falling values and wages
will act as 8: tonic on the American peo-
pie. The steady depreciation Of values
will cease. the rise in the selling price
Of manufactured and farm products will
act as Il national stimulus. Gold will
fall in price. The international pawn
brokers: will lose money, but the people

When congress passes the bill remon-s
citing silver, and when that precious
meta! again assumes its function as legal
tender and constitutional money, wages
will steadily rise to point where the
Workmen can buy back the greater part
OF that which his toll creates. The de-
cline in values will cease, and slowly but
steadily rise toa point where an honest
busheI Of wheat can look IN honest dol
