class to become farmers or producers Of
farm products.
The year 1892 shows a record of mar
yelous activity in the direction of secur-
Ing a larger division of labor by en-
pioying more ia our mechanical indus
tries. Our shops were filling up, new
enterprises were started, labor was in
demand at good prices in mechanical in
dustries, reciprocity was charging and
extending our markets n we seemed
IN every way TO be realizing for the
American farmer and artisan the full
value OF that law Of political economy
and creating wealth by division of la
Dor"
In 1892 the policy of protection was re-
versed and thus the laborers from the
shops and factories were forced from
sheer necessity To go out upon the lands
and become producers instead of consum-
ers. 1t has been estimated that over n
million laboreTs have since the election Of
lS92 when compelled TO seek employ
ment in farming in order to obtain sub
s~istence for themselves and families;
many of these have converted parcels
of ground near and around their homes
into corn and potato patches, thereby
enormously decreasing the demand for
the products of the regular farm. II
is easy to understand when the full effect
Of this shifting Of labor from the mechan-
ical industries to the farm is considered,
what the effect must be upon prices
Of farm products.
In view Of these facts, all of which can
be verified in the past history of our
country, il is plain that our farmers are
directly interested in the employment of
labor and that their prosperity depends
largely upon whether that labor is en-
pl0yed as competitors in the production
of farm products, or as consumers en-
ployed in the mechanical industries OF
the country. We are certainly learning
from a severe practical experience the
truth and value OF the economic principle
| already referred TO that 1.-THE greatest
creator Of wealth is the greatest possible
division Of labor" We are also learning
that this division of labor may be
brought about by a wise policy of protec-
ton.
The effect of production upon the
products Of the farm can be summed mp
i'm n few words. First, will il Increase
or diminish the number engaged IN pro-
ducing the products Of the farm? Sec
ond, will il increase or diminish the num-
Der of consumers Of farm products?
When YOU have answered these two
plain propositions you will be master Of
the entire argument of protection and
free trade, so far as the farmer is con-
cerned. You need be concerned in no
way about the free coinage of silver
as this cannot in n way possible in
crease or diminish the consumption of
your products. Its adoption. however,
would have the effect. as Mr.. Bryan
admits, of producing a panic and con
tinued depression in our mechanical in
dnstries. forcing more labor TO the farm
and thereby add to the number already
producing farm products.
The employment Of labor in our me-
chanical industries and not the free
coinage of silver is the thing that inter
ests the farmer and is 10 secure for him
the prosperity he so much desires.-H.

what Mckinley Did for Destitute Miners
Less than Two Years Ago.

While Candidate Bryan is going about
the country telling fairy tales of what
no and his policy will do for the poor,
ti,,. question naturally arises: What
has he ever done for the working poor:
Is IL his habit or nature TO feel for and
trv TO relieve the suffering Of those less
fortunate in life than himselfF'
His most loyal supporters make no
claims that he has ever shown this feel
inc for his fellowman until now. In
fact. he has no record of ever having
zone out of his way 10 do anything for
what he calls the masses" On the
other hand. Maj. Mckinley, while not
nosinp as one who ''weeps for the
masses" has a record. He says nothing
about the occurrence which gave the
world an insight Into the heart of the
man. an occurrence which demonstrated
hat he was the friend of those who are
poor and hungry, blu a great multitude
remembers it. Such acts live in the
memory of those who earn their bread
nv the sweat of their face"
In speaking of Mai. Mckinley, the
Grand Rapids Herald saws:
.No account of Mckinley's connec-
tion with labor problems would be com
nlete without some mention of the tire
less energy which he displayed in sccur-
ing relief for the ZOO miners in the
Hooking valley mining district who early
in 1895 were reported out of work and
destitute. The news first came TO the
governor at midnight, but before 5
O'clock in the morning he had upon his
own responsibility dispatched TO tn: af-
aicted district a car containing $1,000
worth of provisions. Later he made APP
heals for assistance and finally distrib-
uted among the 2123 families IN the
district clothing and provisions TO the
amount of $40. 1906

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

There is not so much fanaticism and
foolishness in the country as was sup
posed when Bryan captured the Chicago
convention with his crown of thorns''
and ''cross of gold" ~harangue. The
observation-disclosures of the masses is still
to be counted upon as a safeguard against
Socialism and anarchy.
Powderly hits the nail squarely on the
head when he tells the workingman that
his motto with regard TO money should
be. "The best is nOn too good for
me-"
A man is said to have injured his ankle
in a silver debate. That's what comes
of letting people with comparatively lit
tie strength juggle with these heavy ar
guments.
Mr.. Powderly. who says the Bryan
free-silver panic would be worse for la
Dor han all the strikes ever known. will
come in for the abuse of the Debsites.
who want strikes galore. free silver,
free rum and a general breakup.
A government, like an individual. must
have n reputation for honesty and have
good backing if il hoes business with
the great world outside Of its own linn
it's.
Mark Hanna is firmly of the belief
that the only effective confidence restora-
tive Is put up at Canton.
Bryan says that 'the present dollar has
too great purchasing power" Ask some
one who swea through eight hours 10
earn one whether this is true.
Spain wants more money. She should
send for Bryan.
An honest dollar is the noblest work Of
politics.
Even the Democrats Of Michigan,
Wisconsin ard Ohio are fiocking to the
standard of Mckinley. The same thing
afiicts Mr.. Bryan. il seems. that led the
parrot Of story into serious trouble. He
talks too much.
Neither free silver nor any other cheap
money device can bring prosperity TO a
nation burdened with a tariff which on
crates adversely to the interests of its
w people.
Bryan appears to be one Of those men
who think they know il all. and an in
telligent and observing public does not
need to be Informed what usually hap
pens To them.
To put money into circulation is the
need of the time. and that can be done
onlS by a protective tariff that will re-
vive industry.
Bryan's campaign speeches are like a
minstrel show. You hear one, you hear
them all.
Scared capital runs faster than ligls-
ming.

markets to other countries, without Civ
ing them our mints also

and the insurance money may thus be-
come the sole resource of the widow and
orphans. Surely. a fund such as this
ought 10 be sacred against robbery
through depreciation of the value of the
money in which it is paid. Free silver,
on the basis of the present value of the
two metals, would rob every widow of
half the money value coming TO her
from the insurance carried by her hus-
band.
And this would be a s%tupendous rob
berry indeed. The five Massachusetts
life insurance companies of which sta
tistics are given in the commissioners
report, paid 1867. 1888 in death claims
last year. The grand total reported of
all life insurance companies doing bust
ness in this state was S66.S51.477. Can
the women. for whose benefit most of
this insurance money was paid. regard
with ~equanimity the loss of $33. 100000
in one year? There are millions of wom-
en- dependent upon the payment of such
policies. The Massachusetts companies
had 122.6OO policies i'm force last year,
calling for $500. S74.622 in case of death.
The grand total, including all companies,
was 1,143,350 policies. amounting TO the
enormous sum of 81, . 5.0S3.S 64. Right
here in Massachusetts, there is $2S7 3d.
469 at stake in this way.
In addition to all these there are the
assessment life insurance companies,
with 1920 certificates in force, repre-
senting S93,522,457; the fr%aternal bene-
hciary associations. with a membership
of S54,650, which paid out $40, $50
for 1O,O69 death claims last year; the
%<ss<-u- NC ~ ftnurt-
ly for the relief of widows and orphans,
would have to pay in deprecated money
under free silver.
But the money in which the premiums
on these policies have been paid is
money as good as gold, worth 100 cents
OF the dollar. In Massachusetts alone
last year so, 740.S67 wal thus paid. Do
not the women want, and is il not their
right, TO receive from the insurance COM
panies as good money as their husbands
paid for the insurance?-Boston Post.

AFFAIRS IN CHILE.
There Mny BE Revolution Down
There.

San Diego, Cal, Nov. 2S.-The officers
of the British sloop of war Wild Swan,
which arrived here late on Friday
evening from South American ports,
admitted today that serious trouble
was threatened in Chile by the revo-
lutionists at the time of departure Of
the cruiser. Duels and personal en-
counters between Balmacedists and fol-
lowers Of Errazuriz were of frequent
occurrence while the Wild Swan was
at lquiQue, where it lay at anchor on
election day, September Is last. The
officers learned from reliable sources
that the Balmacedists, through a pre-
tended coalition with the opposite po-
litical party, in reality a fusion of lib
erals and conservatives, were giving
their consent TO the election of Ezra
zuriz, with the intention Of gaining
time for a conspiracy then forming to
oVerturn the government. AS a result
of the fusion the enemies of Errazuriz
secured a promise of several places in
the cabinet. The officials so favored
were to cause dissension among the
supporters of Errazuriz and b.. over
turning the cabinet take advantage of
the crisis and start a revolution The
reports that the British officers heard
both at Iquique and Coquimbo were
that ErraZuriZ was elected by the
smallest majority in the history of
Chilean presidential campaigns, and
soon after his election revolutionary
talk was very noticeable at Coauimbo
and Iquique, great dissatisfaction be-
ing expressed openly over the cabinet
selected by President Errazuriz, who
was himself unable to remain on good
terms with the members. To add to
the trouble, the finance Minister re-
ported that a deficit of IS. 900. 600 would
be shown at the end of 1885, the prin-
cipal expense being in building up the
navy. The president also had trouble
with the minister of the interior. re-
Sarding the appointment of governors
for certain districts. and the minister.
who is said to be friendly to the oppo-
sition, made most of his chance to sow
seeds of discord. On financial uues
tons the greatest trouble arose as the
cabinet assumed dictatorial methods
and the certain downfall of the minis
try was expected when congress met
on November 2. The Wild Swan was at
Guayaquil on that date, and did not
learn what took place in Chile. II WIS
said that President Errazuriz had in
vited Barros Luco, a leadine liberal
politician, to form new cabinet in
case the first one went to pieces. and
this he is supposed to have done. The
Balmacedists are certain to stir nm
trouble, and there is every indication
that it will be serious

London, Nov. 2S.-The physicians of
Holloway jail have pronounced the
health OK Dr. Jameson. the leader of
the Tranvaal raiders. who is undergo
ing a sentence of l. months imprison-
ment. to be in very precarious state
The physicians have previously re-
ported that DR.. Jameson's health was
being greatly impaired by his con-
finement. but have not heretofore ad-
mitted that he was in a critical condi-
zion.
A little over a week ago DR.. Jane
son underwent a surgical operation to
relieve a painful malady, from which
he has suffered for some time
Under direction of the government,
Sir William Broadbent today visited
the jail. 1t is credibly stated that he
urged Jameson's release.
The reports of the condition of Jane
son are conflicting, but a majority of
them concur that it is serious. Pub
lie opinion is in favor Of his release.
Major Willoughby, who was convicted
of taking part in the raid, was re-
leased shortly after his Imprisonment,
on the ground that his health rendered
further confinement dangerous TO life.
The same reason is advanced for the
release of DR.. Jameson. Among those
who have opposed his release is Mr..
Henry La Bouchere, NJ. P, editor of
Truth, who has several times pointed
out with vigor that all those who were
found guilty in the raid should be COM
PEELED to serve the full time for which
they were summoned, the same as
other ViolatorS of the laws.

a year, looked to be in excellent health,
and carried a blackthorn stick, pre-
serted by General Patrick Collins,

juncture again what he thought of the

No man." he said, lin the present
chaotic condition of popular opinion
can form any conjecture as to what
is going to happen next year or the
year after. I think, however. that the
Democratic party can only be Teorgan-
lied on the lines of the Indianapolis
convention, and believe that those per-
sons who are clinging to the Chicago
platform will have TO go into the Pop

sistence in the Chicago platform
