Rich and the Poor.

Here now comes up this thoroughly
un-American question of the rich against
the poor. Some criticism is already lev
eled at this movement because those en-
gagged in it are representatives of proper
ty in their respective localities. Ii is
characterized as the rich mans move
ment. Property is banding together to
carry its ends, and those ends are mimi
cal to the wage-earDer and the farmer.
This simply is criminal nonsense. There
is not the slightest warrant i'm reason for
any such statement. The paramount is
sue of the campaign Is n business issue.
1t relates to the very life blood of bust
ness-whether that blood shall be puri-
fed and kept pure, or Initiated and i'm
poyerished. Surely that proposition
reaches and interests everybody. And
another point. What authority is there
for the assumption that in moving in his
own interests the business man is NOV
ing against the interests of other men?
Under n free government all interests
are allied. The business man cannot
prosper If the wage-earner and the farm
err do not. 1t is impossible. II the crops
fail and the mines and factories are idle.
so that the farmer and the wage-earner
have no money. how can the merchant,
or the banker. or the manufacturer
thrive? Where is business TO come
from? On the other hand, If times are
good and confidence prevails. all feel the
benefits alike. Not all in equal degree,
of course. That could not be. That
never has been. That never will be. But
to the extent of their stake in the game.
when the winnings are large. the farmer
and the .wage-earDer get their share along
WITH the business man.-Washington

"Poor Mans Money

Among the transparencies carried by
the shouters for Bryan at Des Moines
Friday evening We're some bearing the
words, "Silver is the poor mans money"
"Vote for the poor mans money" and "a
200-cent, dollar is a dishonest dollar"
Such sentences show the drift of the
public mind and reveal only too plainly
that with many people the silver ques-
ton is one of prejudice rather than one
of reason. What is the meaning of the
phrase, ''Silver is the poor mans mon
eyW We doubt very much if the a
who carried that transparency could
have given an intelligent answer. Under
present conditions a silver dollar of the
United States will buy just as much ut
home or abroad as a gold dollar. 1t
makes no difference to the w%orkingman
whether he receives his weekly wages
in gold or silver coin. The amount of
goods he can purchase is the same. I'm
til the agitation of the silverites drove
the gold of the country into hiding places
workmen were often paid in gold and
when this silver craze is squelched they
will again receive gold as a part of their
wages.
There is one way, however, in which
silver can be said to be the poor mans
money. III tnOSe countries Wnere lne
coinage of silver is unrestricted the wage
earners are emphatically poor. A list
of those countries is printed in another
column this morning and the wages paid
to skilled and unskilled laborers given. AS
was shown by the well-authenticated let
tiers from Mexico published in the Re-
publican on Friday and Saturday the
price of the necessaries of life in these
countries is double the price paid in the
United States. Is this "the poor mans
money! that the wage-earners of the
United States are to vote for? Are they
willing to sink to the level of the Mexi-
can peon or the coolie of India? If so
the way to do it is to vote for the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver. If a
free coinage law such as is contemplated
by the silverites be passed, one of two
things must happen. Either the silver
Of the entire world must be lifted to a
parity with gold or the silver dollar of
the United States must sink to the level
Of Mexico and other silver countries.
In hat case the wages of the working
man will be cut in two and he will in
deed have cause to talk of poor mans
money"
Why should not the laborer continue
to be paid in good money?-Cedar Rap

we stopped our guarantee all our coined

went down to 80 cents on a dollar,
while gold stood still. You could buy
wheat then for $3.50 in g%reenbacks or
IS cents in gold. You could buy a farm
in 1868 for $50 an ACRE in greenbacks or
500 in gold. Do you want that to occur
again?"
The Populist was silent.

Washington told us over and over again
that there was nothing so important
to preserve as the nations honor. He
said that the most important source of
strength was the public credit, and that
the best method of preserving it was to
use it as sparingly as possible, No gov
eminent can get on without II and pre-
serve its honor. No government is great
enough to get on without it, In the
darkest days of the revolution. Robert
Morris, lis financieT, went to ole Of his
friends in Philadelphia after he had in
volved himself as a debtor for a large
sum of money On account of the gov
eminent and said to him: 81 must have
81, 100000 for the continental army"
you give, Robert?" He answered: my
name and my honor Quick came the
reply: Robert, thou shalt have it,"
[Applause.l And from that hour until
now the cOuntry's honor has been our

Every dollar of that money shall be

ecute the promise in the resumption Of
specie payments in 1879. Cheering and
applause.l When Robert Morris said
that they had nothing To give but their
honor there was behind his word 3.000,-

the nations honor are 70,000,000 of free
men, who mean to keep this government
and its honor and integrity and credit
unquestioned. IGreat applause.l
