From A Business Man.

One of the bright signs of
strength for the free coinage move
ment is the support it is beginning
to get from the business men. The
manufacturers Of the country, or
rather, those whose mills are owned
by American home capital, are
largely for free coinage, as witness
the sentiments of their great organ
the Philadelphia American. The
small merchants, especially those
who do trade with agricultural
constituencies, are largely for free
coinage. But occasionally some Of
the biggest representatives of an
exclusively city trade speak out for
restoration of bimetallism. John v.
Farill, the big Chicago dry goods
man, expressed himself a short
time ago on the money question.
'It cuts little figure whether wages
are high OF low if people cannot get
work and l do not think that ever
before in the history of the country
there were so many people out of
employment as now. AT least /
never knew such a pressure here in
Chicago. The trouble back of all
u trouble in this country and the
world is the lack of money! mean
real money, redemption money, not
promise money; for all money which
has, to be redeemed in some other
money is only a promise to pay and
is a potent aus of panics. The less
real or redemption money tLere is
the more valuable it is, and of
course, the lower the price of pro-
perty. When the great nations OF
the earth demonetized silver they
cut the quantity of redemption
money in two and vel; nigh doubled
its value. It was a tremendous pro-
fit for the money king; for you must
remember all the securities which
they hold r the same as gold, and
when they push up the value OF gold

SOME SILVER SHOT.
SILVER NOW OR NEVER.

DO you believe in free silver, voters!
II so, a greater responsibility rests upon
you as a citizen at this time than at any
previous election since 1860. Don't be
deluded into voting against silver under
the notion that you are voting for pro-
lection, as is being urged by the republi-
Can bosses. The silver question stands
first and must be settled at the coming
election, and If free coinage IS defeated 1T
means for all time, as a victory now for
gold will give 1T such a hold on the bust
ness and institutions of the country
that we can never break it by the ballot.
NOW is your opportunity. Do not lose
sight OF the fact that the silver senators
will hold up any tariff legislation with
out Tree coinage for the first two years
OF the next administration, as they did
SILVER sentiment in the west, thew will
continue to hold the balance of power,
with increased strength. You will get
no tariff legislation until silver Is dis
posed of. SO if you are for free silver
there IS no excuse for your voting Tor
Mckinley. just look the whole ques-
ton fairly in the face and If you are an
honest voter, freed from party preju-
dice, and desire free coinage there is but
one course oDen to you and that is to
vote Tor Bryan. Yon owe it to your
self, your children and your neighbours

such comparisons are insults to our IN
telllgence as q nation, and like their

But England needs and must have, a
