Mr.. Bryan tells city workingmen that
free coinage Of silver will raise the
metal to $1.29 per ounce. bringing the
silver dollar TO par with the gold dollar,
thus giving city workingmen another
dollar as good as the present one with
which to buy the farmers producta
That Ia to say, to the farmer the
Bryan silver dollar is TO be a cheap dol
lar to pay debts with. To city labor the
Bryan dollar is to be a dollar of high
purchasing power to buy with.
Free coinage of silver cannot produce
these two dollars. 1t can produce only
one of the two Why do not would be
supporters of Mr.. Bryan ask him which
dollar he really meansi Both the farmer,

are interested in having this question

VOTE FOR KIRKPATRICK.

NOIE FUR KlRkPAIRlCk.
There are many and cogent rea-
sons why every one who desires to
see this district fittingly represented

He is man of unquestioned abili-
ty and integrity. He understands
the needs of the people and has a
personal knowledge of their inter-
ests. He has experience in business
of the nature and kind he will be
called on to transact. He has a wide
acquaintance with public men, and
would be influential in party coun-
ellis. He is a man of sterling sense,
cogent reasoner, and ready
speaker. His views on financial
and economic questions are well un-
derstood, and he does not change
them to be regular His voice
and vote would for honest money,
and the upbuilding of American in
dustries.
Do the people want to be repre-
sented in Congress by a man Of
ability, honesty, and one in accord
with the overwhelming sentiment
of this great commonwealth? If so
to vote for Hon. w. S. Kirkpatrick
will be the right thing to do Nov. 8.

trict have had sufficient experience
with the other thing to open their

ton.

T. 10 Unpreiudiced, and Can We AfFord n
Follow It9
Mr.. Bryan appears to set great store
by the letter which Governor Cu1berson
Of Texas has received from Prince Bis
marck The peoples friend" is will
ing to receive advice from the MAN of
Blood and Iron," and the champion
Of the American farmer" listens to
that famous friend Of American Apri-
culture who shut the German ports to
American pork in 1884 and to American
potatoes in 1885, and who would gladly
have united all central Europe in a
Customs league aimed directly against
all American produce. Bismarok's
rather diplomatic letter is taken by Mr..
Bryan in his recent speeches to favor
the free coinage Of silver by the United
States. The devotion Of Chancellor Bis
marck to the cause Of silver may be seen
in the following historical fact, which
appears to have escaped general notice:
Under his guidance as chancellor Of
the empire and minister Of commerce
for Prussia the equivalent of 1,080,-
900, 600 marks lover $27O, 600, 00O) in
silver was demonetized between the
years 1874 and 1881, and over $3.50, OOO,-
900 worth Of the bullion into which
these were melted had been sold by
1879. In that year, finding that the
price Of silver was becoming demoral-
lied, so that his remaining S1O9, 600, 600
was depreciating, he stopped sales by a
decree issued in May, 1879. These
points were frankly stated by his dele
gates to the international monetary con-
ference Of 1881, when Germany like
wise offered to suspend sales for time
In order that the price might not be
further depressed. With these assur-
ances before the monetary powers and
with the decree of 1879 still in force,
Bismarck saw an opportunity of dump
ing some German silver on the sly and
promptly proceeded to do so. In 1885
the Egyptian government decided to
change it's coinage and invited bids for
contracts to coin its silver piasters. The
German mint secured the contract to
make the coin and incidentally furnish
ed So, 199, 600 of silver bullion to Egypt.
The matter was kept very quiet or es-

will be found, however, in the London
Economist Of Dec. 4, 1885, which saw In
1t proof of Bismarck's lack Of faith in
silver.
With all his faults, Bismarck Is a
sturdy patriot. To help the German
distiller he was willing to see trichine
in every American pig, and to protect
the German farmer he smelled bugs on
every American potato. Germany has
today $107, 900, 900 worth of silver
whose value is declining. If the United
States could be induced to follow the
example Of Egypt and give Germany a
chance to do some more unloading,

Sir II. What was the condition
of the Treasury at the close of Har-
rison's administration ?
2. Was it necessary for Mr..
Cleveland to issue bonds soon after
his Inauguration for the purpose of
paying bills that the Harrison adj
ministration had contracted ?
/. Though the revenues of the
Government fell off greatly during
the closing months of President Har-
rison S administration, yet when he
retired he left a clear surplus in the
Treasury of 1924, 1913, 900, which in
cluded the gold reserve of 800, 000,-
900.
2. There are no bills contracted
by any administration except those
authorized by law and provided for
by appropriations. The business of
the Government is continuous and
the money paid out during the first
part of Cleveland's administration
was paid in pursuance of appropria-
ton laws passed during the last two
years of Harrison's administration
and made by Democratic House of
Representatives.. The revenue con-
tinued to decrease during President
Cleveland's administration and the
gold was withdrawn from the Treas
ury to such an extent that about one
year after his Inauguration he be-
gan to issue bonds, of which S262.-
315, 400 have been sold to replenish
the gold reserve.

The Monroe Democrat says: "The
notice of withdrawal by Hon. Joseph
j. Hart from the Congressional race
was a great surprise to his many
friends in Stroudsburg, who were
loud in their denunciation. He
would have polled a large vote as
most of the Democrats here and
many Republican votes would have
been found in his column. Many of
them are now outright for Kirkpat-
rick whilst others assert an inten-
tion of not voting at all. The op-
position to the Carbon -Northamp-
ton Illegal conference seems as
strong and determined as ever and
thus far there is no sign Of yielding.
The Democratic leaders who are op-
posed to Mr.. Mr.. Barber say that it
is not personal hostility, but that
they are fighting for a principle
which they are bound to maintain,
and they have fled or will file OBJ

ton.

: u IS oomplete and unanswera.

L." It is complete and unanswera-
able.
Mr.. Warner first shows how much
better it is for the workingman to
have his wages paid in dollars whose
purchasing power is steady or ap-
preciating rather than in depreciat-
ng dollars. The depreciating do liar
silently but surely reduces wages.
This is true even when wages are
apparently rising, for at such times
prices of what labor has to buy are
rising still faster than nominal
wages, and of course if a man can
not buy as much with his days
wages as formerly, they have fall
len, no matter if he does get more
dollars and cents.
Mr.. Warner then studies the les
sons of experience on this subject.
He finds that, during our cheap
money period in the sixties, actual
wages declined until in 1865 the
workingman was getting only two
thirds as much as in 1860 In Japan,
China and India, wages shrunk
greatly because they were paid in
depreciating silver. The experience
of Chill with paper and silver and of
British Honduras and Mexico with
silver is given in detail and is of the
same kind. In both Chill and Brit.
ish Honduras the wage -earners
joined with the merchants in de-
manding a change from silver to gold
and rejoiced when they got it. Be-
yond the shadow of doubt all who
have been dependent on wages and
liked incomes have always been hit
hard when the value of the money
in which they received payment has
declined. There is every reason for
supposing that like causes will in
future produce like effects-Bryan
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Mr.. Warner quotes numerous ad-
missions from silver advocates that
silver steadily lowers wages. He
makes public for the first time the
correspondence between Mr.. Fred
Perry Powers of the Reform Club,
and Mr.. II. S. Beattie, President of
the Board of Trade at El Paso, Texas.
Mr.. Beattie is an ardent silverite
who gives his case C dead away" on
the wage question. He explains
how, because of low wages and no
strikes, Mexico " is to-day the best
field for the investment of capital. "
He says " the laborer gets only half
as much from a gold standpoint as
formerly, " and that I" he knows no
whether his silver dollar
is worth from a gold standpoint,
100 cents or only So"
Mr.. Warner concludes that /" if
our wage-earners believe they are
getting too high wages, and that
this country is suffering in conse-
quence, all they have to do is to
take lower wages. If they prefer a
roundabout way they can favor free
coinage of silver and they will get
their wages cut down half without
any further troubles on their part.
X There has never yet been
made law to put into any laboring
mans pocket single dollar that he
did not earn. He, of all men, there
fore, has the best right to insist
that there shall be no law passed
that will raise the price of what he
has to buy, and thus take from him
any portion of what he has earned. {"
