compellcd 10 he lowered. or tney N'ic
farmcrsD viii all be bankrupt.
This is one OF the most interesting phases
OF the currency question that has cropped
out during this most interesting campaign
IL IS a confession that the working man
was never so well paid in his life. and
II is a further concession that one Of the
inevitable results, and one Of the ayowed
purposes. at least OF some who are for
free coinage. IS TO reduce the working
mans pay by the indirect method OF
reducing the value Of tho dollar which
he earns.
Nor is the view confined TO the farmers
who employ laborers; there are manu-
facturcrs and others who insist that the
price Of labor is too high. and that the
country % will not prosper until wages
are cut down. and that the only way IL
can be done is by the Wholesale and COW
ert method OF substituting u deprecated
dollar for one Of full value.
We doubt not there are persons en-
ploying labor unpfoftably and who cam
not afford to pay for it. but that is no
ether workmen, should be reduced by an
undcrhand method. who receive no more
than they are richly worth, nor more
than their employers can well affo:d to
pay them.
Each case should be settled on its own
merits and the case Of tie farmer should
not be COMPOUNDED with that Of the
machinist. the factory hand, the trai1-
man. the clerk, the school teacher, or
anybody else who is paid by IN employ
er willing am able to pay dollar Of
full value and not one worth only fifty
cents.
We can conceive of 10 system OF So
ciety so well arranged to distribute to
each Of its members a full and fair par
ticipation in the produce of the joint
labor of all. as the payment Of wages,
as fun as tie enterprise-wnatever II
may be-is able TO bear.
Where wages are low. the working
mans lot is a hard one. Where wages
are good. work constant, and living
cheap. the lot OIL the workngman is as
easy as ii is possible TO be, ana the
people are happy and contented. Such
a condition is the ideal one, and TO at
tain 1t should be the constant aim and
effort Of every honest heart and sound
head.
But what will we see II the free-silver
programme is carried out?
Paralysis Of business from the financial
revolution, Men will stand aghast and
move like persons cropping in the dark
amid pitfalls.
Reduction Of wages and salaries by the
depreciation Of the money in which they
arc paid.
A frightfuI loss Of their means OF liv-
ing Ly all who derive their revcnde
from fixed incomes.
The !Css OF confidence in the intelli-
sence ard integrity OF the people Of
this country not only by foreigners VINO
have been or would be inl cstors here,
but by our own people in each other.
Everybody will soon see the terrible
blunder If no. crime. that has been COM
mltted and VIII feel that the people who
are guilty are rot TO be trusted.
Years Of agitation, distress, and loss
will follow, and then will come the agony
OF again climbing back upon the high
ground of honest money from which we
had taken the fatal leap.
1t is an appalling picture, but 1t VIII
become a reality if Mr.. W. J. Bryan IS
allowed to carry out ris tnrests.

TO REDUCE WAGES.

IN another column of this paper Will
be found most interesting letter from
Mr.. r. c. Saunders. who has been can
wasting Virginia in the interest Of sound
money, In which he says that farmers,
saw.mill men and others Of the country
people who employ labor, are In favor Of
free coinage because IL viii cheaper the
price OF labor. The farmer complains. he
says, that he now has 20 pay two BUSH
els OF corn for labor. where he formerly
paid only ono bushel.
This statement from Mr.. Saunders is
corroborated by letter which The Times
recently received from an agricultural
subscriber IN Louisa county. who has dis
continued his subscription TO this paper
on the ground that The Times has been
cxerting itself in behalf OF the laboring
man 10 the Injury OF his employer. In
other words. he complains OF the present
system that IL operates In favor Of the
work.nqanan against those who give him
employment. We quote from his letter:
The Times seems 10 have great pity
for the laboring man. / wish 10 ask who
employs the lADOflnS man Nhcn
/ read In the columns OF The Times its
appeals and pleas TO the laboiing man
and not a word OF sympathy Tor the one

about the wicked. We pay for constant
labor s. a month for the winter. and $40

standard OF currency.

VINO were suffering under a tariff sys-

now declares that the country Is
suffering under a monetary system which
makes prices too low and money too
dear. Some OF Mr.. Bryan's followers,
as we have recently shown in this col
umn, have gone so far as to say that the
dollar OF to-day Is a 200-cent dollar, and
that 1t IS proposed by free coinage to
reduce its value TO 100 cents. In that
event how can the workingman fail to
see that IL his wages are not absolutely
doubled under free coinage. he will not
receive as much pay as he now re-
ccives?

Tile EISIII II VI EGIN

The Chicago party leaders claim That
Virginia will go for Bryan by q majority
varying from 1000 to $1,000 and we have
heard one occasionally well.informed sill
verite say that 900 would be nearer
the figure by which the Boy Orator
would be endorsed in the Old Dominion.
We well know that in this election the
fountains OF the great deep Of politics
viii be broken up. and that hitherto I'M
felt influences will move the voters.
The accuracy Of customary calculations
viii be greatly disturbed. and no one
can tell the result with any certainty.
Mr.. Bryan may carry Virginia by TO-
OoO by $1,000 by 1000, or by only 1900 as
Nj. James Creeman says, or he may
not carry it at all.
one thing. however. is certain. and
that is whatever the majority may be
the result must be fairly and honestly
ascertaincd.
There are men who win instantly and
unmrmurngly submit 10 the Will Of the
majority if fairly ascertained. be the
consequences however disastrous. who
viii not endure a result obtained by the
arts OF the perjurer or the pick-pocket.
There is a solemn determination 10 re-
slst such criminals to the utturmost and
to pursue and prosecute them at an
costs and al hazards.

The once-holders in the ranks OF the
silyerites are the most unhappy peo-
pie in these United States The Office
holder is always in trouble on the eve
Of an election. bat ordinarily there are
but two parties between which he must
decide. This time. however, there are
three, and his perplexity is truly distress
sing. At first he thought that The Chi
before 1T, and that the "boltocrats"
would cut but poor figure in the race.
That being the case. Of course, he threw
up his hat for the Chicago party. and
there were no words in his political vo-
cahulary too harsh for the gold-bugs.
But the situation has changed. The
ofice-holder is beginning 10 realize that
there is something in the claim Of the
National Democracy that they are the
true Democratic party. and that the
day may come when that will be the
party to which he will have TO look.
Therefore. you may have noticed the
free-silver onice-holder is more conser-
vatiye in his estimate OF the Sound
Money movement than he was a few
weeNs ago.
But II the ohice-holder gets left. he
will only have himself 20 blame. The
