inconsiderable, which beautiful weather
affords The advancement which labor
has made in this country is a source of
pride to all American people who
have at heart an intelligent interest
in our welfare. Nowhere on earth is
the standard of labor so high, nowhere
are its possibilities so great. While it
is desirable that as little of what is
commonly known as partisan influence
should enter into the observance of
Labor day, or any other holiday for
that matter it should not be absent
from the minds of all who witnessed
the celebration Monday that there is
on the political horizon in this country
the graveSt menace American labor
ever faced. 1t is not prophecy but
merely a statement of a fact which
cannot be successfully denied that the
great purpose behind the free silver
movement is to cheaper the cost OF
production by cheapening labor and t.
maintain the hostile tariff legislation
from which labor in this country is al
ready suffering.

Need Scaling Down.

The revolt of certain newspapers
association hiring the secretary of Mr..
Bryan to report the meetings Mr.. Bry-
an addresses, is rather late in coming.
But it will have its effect nevertheless.
It now appears that many of those so
called ovationS were at best an as
semblage of the curious who wanted to
see Bryan and who silently contem-
plated him while he vociferated from
the tail end of his train No one ques-
tions that large crowds have gathered
to see and hear Mr.. Bryan. 1t would
be exceedingly strange if such sudden
~ acquired notorety didn't attract
the curious. Nor is it an Objectionable
fern of curiosity that impels people to
wish to see and hear a man who is the
nominee of a great party for the great
est office in the land. Neither is it
strange that Mr.. Bryan and his pro-
moters desire to have the reports OF
tnoSe aSSemDlageS represent the APP
rlause as tumultous and the size of the
gathering unprecedented. But surely
| it isn't right that newspapers and peo-
pie paying for facts should be treated
to the fiction of private secretary OF
| the man who seeks free advertising as
we'll as free silver
A Chicago paper calls attention tc
the character of some of these private
secretary reports. In Chicago the re-
port stated that Bryan addressed
| $4,000 people when everybody Their,
knew there weren't more than 500
present. The report from Cleveland
stated that 10000 people crowded int.
the armory, which as a matter of fac
wouldn't hold 5000 people packed Xix,
sardines. Bryan was said to have ad
dressed 10000 on lawn in Columbus
when everybody there knows that thu
lawn wouldn't accommodate 1000. A

was necessary to show some awful con-
lieve that they want to change the dol
lar. which he called Il 200-cent dollar
down to one worth half as much, with
all the disaster such slump and whole
sale reputation would cause. Moreover.
1t will be remembered by those who
heard him that he didn't make it clear
how the farmers with mortgages
would get the cheap dollars to cheat
their creditors with.
The last census, the reports of which
other people are permitted to examine
for information, even If Mr. Thomas
isn't, states that in Al states and ter
ritories only 2S.S6 of the taxed acres
are encountered with existing mort
cages. Another fact appearing in this
census report is that in time of finan-
cial depression there is a falling off
rather than an increase in the number
of mortgages. The reason for this is
apparent when We find from this same
census report that $50. l3 per cent of the
mortgages in force were made to secure
the purchase price of real estate and
to make real estate improvements" 1t
is thus shown that a large majority of
increasing ones prosperity and that ii
is in good times that mortgages
throughout the country increase. Then
ii is men have courage to extend their
enterprise. to increase the acreage OF
their farms and seek to use other peo-
PIES money so that the profit will ac-
crue to themselves. 1t is also worthy
] of mention that in 1890 there was found
from the records to have been of thu
| mortgage debt incurred in 1850 12.03 per
cent Cancelled. Moreover during that
| decade from 1850 to 1880 when rates az

| This attempt to make people believe
his country is in hopeless condition
under its existing monetary standard
is, when one stops to consider it. the

A Word on Mr.. Thomas Speech.

Probably Augusta people will never
ing more complete argument on the
unlimited silver coinage question from
the free silver standpoint, than was
that made by Mr. Thomas Saturday
evening at City hall. 1t contained tho
gist Of every argument for free coin
age by this country at the 16 to / ratio
Every point in it has been met. how
ever, in the discussion through the
press and campaign literature and
. speeches. Accordingly at this late
day it does not seem necessary to re
peat. So long as Mr.. Thomas and
those who advocate that side of the
question can assume their own pre-
misses and take their figures and esti
or some equally secret storehouse
OF the Imagination. and SO long as
their hearers will not for themselves
consult census reports, mint reports OF
any of the facts and figures which have
been collected for purposes of refer
cnce by the highest and most trust
worthy authorities, converts to the
silver cause may continually be made.
Moreover when Mr.. Thomas, as have
others of those who take that side.
quote Mr.. Blaines words in which he
pointed out what he deemed to be the
evils of monometallism, and do not
quote, as Mr.. Thomas and his fellow
advocates do not, the words of Mr.
ut a time when the silver in dollar
was worth 40 cents more than it is
now, asserting that free coinage at a
ratio of 1G to / would send us to a
monometallic silver basis causing
! widespread and irreparable disaster
sc long the people who don't read both
] sides will be fooled. The Journal has
printed that speech, SO there seems tc
be no need of repeating When Mr.
HoiiiiS says 81 per cent OF the ldTins
are mortgaged he states what is. pal
rably untrue. In 1890 there was 2S pc:

know that he has stated but half the

When the silver monometallists tell
us we must have free silver in order
to compete with Japan, China and
Argentina where labor is paid in Il
cheap currency, ii is only another way
of saying we must hire our work done
more cheaply. 1t can mean nothing
else. And when we see most employers
o. labor, who although they know
wages would be much lower in pur-
chasing power under unlimited silver
coinage, opposing that policy we also
know that they do so because they see
that it would reduce consumption OF
their products and injure them in Other
ways. Accordingly he must be q
stupid person who doesn't conclude
that the interests of both employer and
employed are in this respect, at least
mutual.
