The Right Of Bolting.

"No convention, !" says Mr. Bryan in
a letter written last February to Mr.
George NJ Garden of Dallas, Tex,
"can rob me Of my convictions, nor can
any party organization drive me to con-
spiro against the prosperity and liberty
of my country" These sentiments are
exactly those Of the sound money men
Of tho United States today. In refusing
to be bound by the Chicago convention
they are exercising precisely the same
right which Mr. Bryan exercised in
1898, when he bolted tho gold standard
and when he SO vigorously defended the
privilege Of doing So Hartford Times.

FREE SILVER AND
THE WORKINGMEN.
THY WILL NOT BENEFIT.
They VIII Get Less Wages and
Will Have to Pay More For
Everything They Buy.

Suppose this country adopts free silver,
wher6 viii the workingman como in2
Does lac think that his wages Will be inn
mediately doubled? II we can Judge the
future 10y the past they will not The
workingman already Knows that by ex-
pericnce Under free silver he win have a
lot If dollars containing ~ cents worth Of
silver, for that IS the actual price OF silver
in a dollar at the present time.
When he goes to spend these dollars for
provisions or clothing, he may be awaken
cd from his beautiful dream Of free silver,
for he win find all the prices away up.
Tea, coffee, sugar, clothes coal rent, ey-
erything hasadyanecd in price. But how
about his wages Have they increased as
much as the commodities he is compelled
to buy for himself ana fsaiilYs Hardly
The experience of every nation teaches that
wages rise moro slowly than commodities
They are the last TO feel tho effect of adj
vancing prices Between 1860 and 1865
the prices Of commodities went up lS2 per
cent Wages advanced only 10 per cent.
Wherever, il fact, the cGrrcaCy Of a nation
has boon inflated prices Of commodities
have risen, but wages have risen much
more slowly, If ct all
II does not appear, therefore, that the
laborer will gain anything through free
silver On the contrary, he will lose. he,
as well as everybody else, must take the 40
cent dollar because the law says so. When
he draws his weekly wages, they will be
paid to him in dollars worth 49 cents The
money he has In savings banks will be rep
resented by dollars worth less than half n
dollar. The Investment he has made in
building and lear associations to provide
himself with a home for his family will he
represented only by 40 cent dollars, and the
amount Of his investment viii dwindle
one-half If fire should visit his home, his
insurance would be paid in dollars not
worth 100 cents, as heeEpected, but in dol
lars worth 40 cents.
And SO it is in every transaction in
which money plays part. Everything

aeipts from Whatever source viii be only

OPEN MILLS OR HINES?
a Significant Comparison of Mining and
other Industries.

Other Industries.
In 1890 there were about COCO mines in
this country producing beth gold ana sill
yer in varying quantities.
In tic same year there were more than
1S5, GOO factories in tho United SJates turn
ing out manufactured products, moro
than so times as many factories as mines
of gold and silver put together.
The mines employed less than 10000
men. The factories employed nearly 5000
600 hands--in short, so times us many.
Mines do not purchase raw materials and
so give employment to others, but the fac
tories in 1890 paid more than So, 600, 000
600 for raw materials.
And what of the value of productsY
That Of the mines was nearly $780, 600, 900
in gold and silver. That looks big I'M
til you compare 1t with $1,000, 000, 900
of value produced by the factories.
-Four cities of California alone ia 1890
showed an output of manufacture nearly
double in value the product of all the gold
and silver mines of the Union And Cal
ifornia is not Ii manufacturing state com
pared with some Of her sisters. Ohio dis
charged more factory hands on account of
the Wilson bill than were ever employed in
all the mines in one year. New York city
alone did the same thing.
Which is the paramount issue? Which
shall we protectf 1t is hard TO realize the
magnitude of our manufacturing interests
except by comparison, The value pro-
duced, the people employed directly, the
people employed indirectly, the farm prod
ucts TO feed them, the railroad and steamer
facilities to move them, all these items
run into figures that bewilder the brain
that tries to comprehend them.
Yet we ARE asked to believe that 1t is
more important to help the mino owner
sell his bullion than it is to foster these gi-
gantic manufacturing interests. 1t will
not be our mining that will make us a
great nation. Mining is a local issue;
mines are confined to IA half dozen states,
and, strange as 1t may seem, a half dozen
cities in those states turned out in 1870
nearly three times as much value in man
ufactures as the half dozen states did in
gold and silver
Manufacturing is not local 1t is cock
tensive with the national domain. Given

THg QUESTION PLAINLY STATED
Free Coinage of Silver Would BE Non
strous Injustice.

StfOEs Ai3J %stt1Ss
The free coinage Of silver as defined
BY the friends Of that policy IN the bill
pending in the United States senate
means that any person owning SILVER
bullion to the valuc Of $52 may deliver
it to any United States mint and re-
ceivo for it 100 legal tender dollars. II
mcaus that the government shall coin,
free Of charge, in STANDARD CT legal ten
der silver dollars, ali the silver bullion
that may be presented to it, and thus
pay premium eff IS per cent to every
holder Of silver bullion.
When it isrcmc adhered tina. he silver
producing interest embraces but an in
initesimal portion Of the people Of the
country as compared with those who
produce iron, coal, cotton, cottons,
woolens, wheat and otbcr products Of
the farm, the monstrous injustice Of the
government paying to ore petty class
of producers nearly double tho value q
their products should make every honest
minded citizen rccoil against it. Ia
short, free silver coinage rleans that
The government shall buy ell tho silver
bullion offered at nearly double its mar
ket value.
But the paternalism Of The govern
ment toward the silver producers III
paying nearly double the market value
for all their product would be but a
small portion Of the appalling wrong
that must be done to the country ny the
establishment Ct such a financial sys-
tenn. The day That the free and mllim-
tied coinage Of silver cn a bass Ct 1G
to / shall be adopted by this govern
ment would witness the entire change
of our financial system from a gold to q
silver basis, and this government would
take rank with the pagan and semicivi-
lied nations Of tho world, and forfeit
the credit ard confidence Of the great
civilized nations That have SO largely
aided our advancement, and without
which we could not maintain CONNER
cial and industrial prosperity for day.
When the government wanted to Dor
row money, it would be required to pay
50 for 81, as Mexico, China and japan
now do, and labor would have little il
any increase in wages, while the dollar
earned would produce only so cents
worth Of the nccessaries of life.-Phila-

The Curse
Of Mankind!

The most horrible disease to which
the human family is subject is conta-
giovs blood poison. 1t has always
baffled the doctors, for Notwithstanding
the progress made in some branches of
medicine, they have failed absolutely to
discover a cure for it. Whether in the
form of powder, pill or liquid, the doc
tors prescription is always the same
potash or mercury.
Mr.. Otto II. Ebert, who resides at the
corner of 22d Street, and Avenue N,
Galveston, Texas, had a severe expert
enee with this dreadful disease, and
under date Of April 5th, 1896, writes:
Several years ago | was so untortu-
nate as to contract contagious blood
poison, and was under treatment of the

treatment faithfully for several mon rs.

prefers silver. There is no law against
such contracts, but silver IS generally
considered an unstable measure of values
and therefore untitled for this purpose.
