will doubt for one moment who
knows John A. Reyes.
John Arnold Keyes was born
among the hills at Cheslea, Orange
county, Vermont, in June, 1859; was
raised and worked upon a farm
until his majority; was educated
in the common schools and in an
old New England academy. In
1882 he entered the law Office of
Hon. Geo. L. Stow, in his native
town, and in the fall of 1887 had
made such progress as to be ad-
mitted to the bar of the supreme
court of Vermont after a rigid ex-
animation, and was during two
years prior thereto a superintend-
ent of public schools of Cheslea;
was a member of the Vermont
Republican state convention of
1884, came west in 1885, and in June
of that year settled at Winona,
Minn., where he was. associated in
practice of the law with w. H. Yale,
afterwards becoming member of
the law firm of Keyes & Brown, and
enjoyed successful practice. In
1892 he removed to Duluth. He
represented the city of Win6na
twice in the Legislature of Mime
sofa, in 1889 and 1891; was the
author of the so-called Australian
system of voting Legislation in this
state, the bill afterward becoming
law, applicable to cities, having
been introduced by him as II. F.
No. l. He was also the author of
the law under which the prison
labor system at Saltwater was re-
organized. In 1891 he re-drafted
the election laws and extended the
new system throughout the state;
was, during that session, chairman
of the prison investigating COM
mittee of the house, which did
effective service in pointing out
and calling attention to the evil
system of discipline and manage.
ment prevailing at the state
prison, and the results of which
have been radical and beneficial
reforms in all departments. In
1894, against his wishes, he was
nominated by the peoples party
state convention for attorney gen.
eral, having joined that party in
1892. He made an excellent run and
was given large vote over several
of the candidates. He is regarded
as being one of the straightest men
in Minnesota and his nomination
is as satisfactory to the democrats
as to the populists and free silver
men. While member of the
Legislature he was always found on
the side of the people whenever
their interests clashed with the
corporations.

For Attorney General.

John A. Reyes, the nominee on
the silver ticket for attorney
general, in the confidence of his
fellow citizens, in strength and
clearness of mind, in sturdiness
of character, in loyalty to the
common people and in devotion
to those principles which he
regards as essential to the pub
lie welfare, is an ideal candidate;
a man whom all parties respect,
and to whom all classes feel that
they can safely con6de what
ever interests they may have in
jeopardy.
While yet a republican Mr..
Keyes took a prominent part in
public affairs. He had more to
do, as a member OF the state
legislature, with placing on the
statute books of Minnesota our
present Australian ballot law,
than any other man. And the
people of Minnesota now, if not
before, appreciate fully the SER
vice rendered in that work. For
in these days when gold standard
employers assume to dictate the
political sentiment of their work.
ingmen, there is not in all the
state a poor wage slave with
sufficient intelligence to appre-
ciate his situation, but what
overhows with gratitude to Mr..
Keyes and deep in his heart ex-
claims THANK God for the
secret ballot
Mr.. Keyes has a wide &C.
qua1ntance over the State of
Minnesota, and his nomination
was urgently demanded from all
parts of the state, and was made
unanimously by the populist
state convention at the cordial
instance of both the democrats
and silver republicans. The
office for which he has been
named is one of the most i'm
portant on the ticket, being, as
it were, the strong right arm of
the executive department. The
attorney general will have in
charge the enforcement of many
good laws already on the statute
books, placed there to appease
the people, but which corpora
ton administrations have
knowingly and purposely treated
as dead letters. Mr.. Reyes is a
man who can neither be bought,
wheed1ed nor bul1dozed. And

Silver and Our Foreign Trade.
A favorite argument of the
gold press has been that free
coinage will destroy our foreign
trade. If they mean that for
eigners will not accept our silver
and, therefore, we cannot trade
with them, they are only putting
their ignorance on exhibition.
If this country will be ruined be-
cause foreigners will not sell to
us, as protectionists-and even
the gold democrats are protec-
tionists only a little less radical
than the McKin1eyites- what do
they mean by *'encouraging
home industries?" If Europeans
will not exchange their goods for
our silver, what's the matter with
making our own goods?
Trade between nations is still
barter. The precious metals
both pass from country to coun-
try as commodities. The stamp
of government may be accepted
as a guarantee OF fineness; never
of weight or value. On such
terms, at it's bullion value, they
take our silver now. And until
human nature comes to despise a
profit they will continue to take
t.. Only last year they took
1$47,OOO,OOO worth, enough at
the old ratio to have been worth
over $9O,OOO,O0O. In this item
alone was a clear loss in debt
paying power to the United
States of over $40, 900, 900: We
sell our surplus wheat, cotton
and live stock in competition
with silver countries: Had they
been using silver at it's old ratio
our exports of these three pro-
ducts alone would have brought
us over 5000, 100000, instead of
less than $45O,OOO,OOO. Here
the direct loss to the United
States in debt-paying capacity
amounts to more than $780,
100000. To a nation whose
debts are variously estimated at
from twenty to forty billion dol
lars, and are constantly increas-
ing, that sum may be a small
item, but, since it is our only
hope OF escape from the incubus,
isn't that $400,00O,000 worth
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1896-09-12

1t is an item worthy of notice
that our competitors in foreign
markets are silver using coun-
tries; and that those which COM
pete with us in our home mar
kets are gold standard countries.
We have heretofore shown that
a higher price for silver bullion is
certain to follow from free coin
age. This will benefit us both in
our own market and in all for
